I foun-i •jp»n enquiry, that the\leceased ha expired three days ago, and th widow having determined to imsno bite herself on the pile of her lat usband, and being ill at the tim, it was necessary in conf jrinity wit'i t!ie rules prescribed by their reli gion, to dufer the ceremony unti -er recovery The unfortunate tetale was at this time concealed within a hut, near which lay thi corpse, and no person could ha v. access to her. The pile was soon erected on the banks of a neig bor ing canal it consisted of four stake di iv'en into the ground, and covered with wood and other combustible*. The wretched victim, in the mean while, arrived, supported by lie nearest relations. She was abimt eighteen years ot a^e, and appeared so weak and famished, that sh^*v iliterally born in the arms of her at temiants, and Removed to anothe hut near the water, in order t0 '.«ffe up a preparatory prayer.

.!• ovment of a happs fartiilv lotne, 'tis the treasure ot comfort! -'tis the temple of love!—'tis spot which the celestials stop to bless as they float over the dwelling place of humanity! A happy home is the best similie of Heaven.

Every individual h*s peculiar remembrances, and peculiar ideas obtafoed by readings concerning the particulars which, wnen united, constitute a happy home On ac

flktbese peculiarities, tne do mestic painting of one'man's imagi nation will differ, in some ol its scenery and figures, and their disposition, from »ose of his neighbor. Every one, however, must assemble, in a painting, of this character, persons whose countenances indicate the fcougeniality and harmony of heavenly tempers, and hearts more intimately connected, and must surround them with such phar^ptiernalia as areominioiis oi the fa vor of fortune. A'icturin. in my mind a

sceue agreeing with my own

notiohs, I consider home as a little paradise, and there Heboid an Ad am aud Eve, almost as hoi) as were the originals before they listened to

the seJucing voice of the charmer. I see the identity of sentiment sparkling.in the tender glances of the mutually affectionate husband and wife I see bloomi. ildren with sunbeams dancing in their eyes, sporting withiu the scope ol parental guardianship, awj I gaz with delight on the cbiiftib thai nestles in the bosom of maternal d? votion. But th se are only the grand characteristics: 1 love to vary the picture, and gain a glimpse of one of the most seclu «d aud contented of the scenes of home For instance, I see a room comfortably aud neatly furnished The w.n dow shutters are closed denoting evening i'he shining grate is fil led uith globing co'il. I see the ndlestand and its luminary, be ide it sits the intelligent looking husband, with his eyes bent on an op book and his lips slightly sep a rated as though in the act of reading aloud to bis lovely partner. She

unwilling to lift her eyes from her infant, is known to listening her silence, and by all further cessation from playing with her child, th:ui merelj pushing back the fl.ixen ringlets that curl round its forehead

Ihere is another picture still more familliar to ray mind a pic tore drawn by a poet ose disposition. habits, arid peculiar situation added to his graphic talents, admirably qualified him to give such a delineation it appr tpri te finish li however, chieflv interesting to the ladies, and so long as there exists relish for the amusements mentioned so long wtil their description be cherished, and so I*will the name of »wper bt»ve place in gra eful remembn*

'There the needle ptk-s its bosy

It was the original design of Heaven that mankind should 'marry and give in marriage,' and that each family should possess a focus of happiness Adam was constituted pro 'ietorofall he earth but it was not intended that he should wander over its whole surface.
