'How hot my blood curdles and my bones ache at the thought.' It was Tuesday, the third insl., that the aiDicting rite was celebrated.

Matriaattor—Xodera Exlravagaaee* A correspondent who has "long been ui search of a wile," complains sadly ot the extravagance of modem times, and srvs that he has "more than once been on the point of offering his heart and hand, but has been deterred by the prospect of an expenditure far beyond his income, and thus of a change for the worse, and not for the better." This is an old story, and one that we have commented oo again and

founded, aod the extravagance which characterizes the modern modes of living in reputable society, has doubtless been the means of making, not only many old bach* elers but many old maids. The fever is up just now, and every one seems anxious to

They become acquainted with the young and the fair, are charmed with their society, and would readily tske them "for better or for worse but they filow the actual position oflheir pecuniary affairs, Ihev are aware of the uncertainties of trade, and they listen with surprise lo the extravagant views that are expressed in relation to matrimonial establishments, according lo the claims and pretensions of a large portion of the gentler sex of the preseot day.

Nothing will suit them but an abundant fortune on the part of those who aspire to become their protectors for life. And in this doctrine, too often, they are trained as it were by their parents. Tftey are taught to dress extravagantly, to speak extravagantly. and to boast extravagantly. la brief, ihe object seems to be, to elevate themselves, not only in a pecuniary, but a social point of view, atuve ordinary mortals, and to speak of the rest'of mankind sneeringly and as inferior beings. In most oases pretenders, having nothing particular to boast 6f. are empty,, inflated, and arrogant, and merely assums to themselves positions to which they ara not entitled. The effect, however, is pernicious, not only upon their own fortunes aad feelings, but upon those of their friend* and admirers,. They seem anxious to marry an establishment, rather than as a mslter of heart, feeling and reciprocity. Aad while they are fitted to flutter and bask in the smiles of prosperity, they are uiter/f disqualified for the frowns of adversity. They may do well enough as compaalons in the hour of sunshine, but not 80 in the day ot trial and storing We can conceive of no more important matter thaa a proper manner of beginning life, or starting out in ihe world. Tho moment tilt en individual enters into the conditions »f matrimony, and thus becomcs responsible for ihe maintenance of al least one other, he should govern himself accordingly, and with reference not only to the present moment, but lo future probabilities and contingencies. In order to do this, however, and lo live economically, and within his means, he must be assisted by his hotter half otherwise, penury will soon come into the household, and wiih it discord and unhappiness. The parties should consider all the facts and chances beforehand. They shoutd determine to live themselves rather than for the out-door world, with a view to iheir continued and permanent happiness, raiher lhan to the gratification and indulgence of a silly and false pride.

Matrimony should not be considered as a mere condition of bargain and sale. Higher and holier principles and purposes should be associated with it. It is sometimes necessary »that sacrifices should be made but these, when the subject is rightly understood, are more lhan compensated for by reciprocity of feeling, mutual confi denoe aod sympathy, and the interchange of affection. But the bride should not expect alt the sacrifices to be on one side. She may be called on to yield something also—something in dress, in gay society, in many attentions, and in frequent intercourse wiih the out-door world. She may have been brought up indulgently an 1 extravagantly, and her contemplated husband, however devoted and generous, may notp'jsess the means to keep up this system to ihe same extent. She should see and realize up her mind and her conduct accordingly. Then Ihe two will commence life unaeritanding and relying upon each other, and constantly anxious to promote their mutual fortunes and bappi

The young gentleman picked himself up. but rather intimidated by the stool fists of the stranger, and rather abashed by the laughter of the orowd, concluded it was about lime for him to go ho*s«.

In polite society the former would be courted and admired, and the latter overlooked and despised "who was the gftitleman!" '''1 Ci: fr

On a raw and blustering day last winter, a young girl, with a basket on her arm, eulered one of our stores. After making a tew purohases, she turned to leave. Two gAnllemen stood in the doorway, whose appearance indicated lhat ihey thought themselves something, whose soft, sleek coats and delicate hands were apparently of about the same quality as their brains. 7 ,«

As they made not the slightest movement as she approached, ihe young girl hesiialed a moment, but seeing no other way, she politely requested them to stand asido.— They lazily moved a few inches, allowed her barely room to pass, giving her, as she did so, a broad stare, that brought the color to her cheek, and the Sre to her eye.

In stepping upou the icy pavement her foot slipped, snd in endeavoring to save herself, her basket fell, and the wind scalterod its contents in every direction.

At (his the two gentlemen burst into a hearty laugh and seemed lo consider it as vastly amusing. {'Let me assist you," exclaimed a pleasant voice, and a lad about sixteen, whose hands showed lhat they were accustomed lo labor, and whose coarse, but weil patched coat indicated lhat be was the child of poverty, sprang forward and gathering up the articles, presented the basket wiih a bow and a smile lhat would have graced a draw-ing-room. "Who was Ihe gentleman 1"

Boys, you are all ambiiious to become gentlemen. That is all very natural, but remember, lhat neither your own nor your parents position in life, your tailor, your boot-black, or your barber, can make you. The irue genileman is the aame everywhere not only fat the social parly or ball, but in ihe noisy mill, the busy shop, the crowded assembly, at home or in the street never oppressing the weak or ridiculing the unfortunate respectfully ailenlive to his superiors pleasant and affable to his equals carelul and tender of ihe feelings of those whom he considers beneath him.

We were a good deal amused the other day at a circumstance whioh occurred in one of the carts of New York and Brie rail road, li was witnessed by a good Iriend whom no **good thing" ever escapes and who thus describes it:

On a sea', two or three 'removes' for me sat a smart Yankee-looking woman, with a dashing new silk gown, and a new bonnet, sel jauntily upon her head and beside her looking out at ihe window, every now and then thrusting, out hie head, eat a man of a somewhat foreign air and manner,

Tha woman watched him with every ap pearanoe of interest, and at last said to him: 'Do yon see that hand-bill there, telling you not to put your head or arms out of the oar windows 1*

The man made no reply, save to fix upon die speaker a pair erf* pale, watery blue eyes, and presently out went his head again, aad half of his body from the car-window. •Do you understand Engliih asked the woman. 'YawP was the reply. "Then why don't yoo keep yoor head out of the window!'

There was no reply of any kind to this appeal.

At length he put out his bead a third rime, just as the cars were passing a long wood es bridge. Tbe lady started beck aod once more csofaimod mm? 'Do you understand English 'tern: 'Yaw—yawl* 'Then why don't you ketp your head,go 1 of tho window Want to get killed .1 No response. And a fourth time he narrowly weeaped 'coHoshm' with aomo passiii objaci. ilie woman oould stand it 00 looger,

Condition of Europe.

Geneva. (Switzerland,) Sept. 7. 1853.

We have ransacked quite thorough!/ England, Ireland, Scotland, lle'i^funi. the Rhine from Cologne to Basle, and Swhier* land—more beautiful by far fhan either. In alt those countries we found a stale of public and private prosperity which surprised us greatly—Ireland alone exiepied. I?ven there a great change is being brought about by harsh measures and the Protestant portion# of ii are as prosperous as tho other States lo whioh I have referred. Phese are ihe direct effects of along pcooe, and go far beyond what we at home have any idea of.. In England there is an obvious change in the habits and disposition of tbe people, and the action of the government. Liberal principles and feelings are dearly ascendant, and the House of Commons rules, in fact, every where. 1 cannot convey this idea more clearly or more authoritatiwiy to you, than td repeat it remark of Lord II the descendant of a high tory family, whose father I heard make the ablest speech (hat was made against the tfoluriti Bill, and who is himself a man of mature age and highly respectable talents—at tho breakfast table of Sir R. J——, hhnstrrt an inveterate lory in 1040, but now fuife liberal in his feelings, Lord II stftd (he changes lhat had already taken pfacfe in iheir Constitution, and others which-tfere inevitable, had already made Englaiixf *lrtually a Republio, and that il was lo b» Regretted iliat everybody war not sufBotemly impressed with this truth (0 Induce them To unite in efforts to prepare ihe people, by educating them, for the snfe enjoyment of rights which they must inevitably proWdt Tnis is, I have no doult, a jufet description of their political condition: The Queeu and Prince Consort are disoreet and exceedingly well-disposed people, and are content to cat their cake in pence. Irr every branch of the Government the greatest care is taken not lo uffer any unnecessary (Front to that public opinion whioh, ovory one feels, governs ihe country and (lie House of Common*, oonscious of lis ptower* is content to lolerale, and, I doubt not, in the abscenco of tyranny and intolerable nppression by Iho Crown, lo sustain (be mutrarchy with its pageantry and parade.

But the degree ol oppression which would now be considered intolerable, would bw very diflereni from ihe idea whioh prevailed inthetimo of (he Stuarts, ami for many years after. In Belgium, whore we spent some days with great satisfaction, they ertjoy vory nearly alt the rights that belong lo

Republio. Their King. Leopold, is not a man of extraordiimry talents, but is, I am sure, very upright in his intentions, and cer* taiulv moderate, to an exemplary degree, In his oonduot. lis told them in 1818, that if they desired a change, he would spare than/ the trouble of a forcible revolution, by resigning and they have been quiet, and obviously contented ever since. They bBve a Legislature, fairly chosen and their irvsffco. tiona, with the single exception of the fhrone, are very liberal. 1 was so much pleased wiih all I saw in his dominions, that I caused his Minister of the King's House" ?c bw informed, through a private suhjecf,(our Minister being absent.) that if it would be agreeable lo him 10 receive me and my friends, in citizen's dress, it would afiord rim pleasure to pay my respects lo him. I received in a short time, a letter from the Minister, informing me that he had submitted my suggestion to the King, at Suchen —his country residence—who had direct ed him to ssy thsl he would with pleasure come to the city, and receive us at the palace, in the form proposed. He d«f »o, and we had comparatively without ceremony, long and pleasant conversation with him. is the apprehension of breaking up ihie extended private arid public prospetify Europe, and disturbing its present which has been iba effective negotiator" to the Eastern afT»ir. The moment it was definitively settled ihsi France and England would unitedly resist every attempt ro carry into effect ihe long cScrished views of ffuv* a ur»on Turkey, il became also certain lhat must cost a general war in Europe to attempt it. The Emperor had not the moral courage lo assume Ihe responsibility of cau»' ingso ire.nendous a change in all Christendom. He delayed ihe conclusion until it became absolutely certain that the alliance between Fiance and England could not be broken up. They were themte Ivev opposed war, and willing lo yield almost anything but the main point—ihe maintenance of ihw quasi independence ol Turkey.
