tachment, the crews of five vessels, for ty in number with the vessels, and besides, one hundred and thirty stand of arms. Colonel White having succeeded, prctcrfded that he must keep back his troops lest the animosity, already stifled by his great exertions, would break out, and indiscriminate slaughter take place in defiance of his authority; and that therefore, he would commit his prisoners to three guides who would conduct them safely to good quarters. This humane attention on the part of White was thankfully received He immediately ordered three of his attendants to proceed with the prisoners, who moved off with celerity, anxious to get away, lest the fu ry of Wnitcs corps, believed lo be near at hand, might break out, much as he was disposed to restrain it. White, with the soldier retained by him, repaired as he announced to his guides and prisoners, to his troops for the purpose of proceeding in their rear. He now employed himself in collecting t he neighboring militij, and with whom he overtook his guides, and their charge, sale and happy, in the good treatment experienced.

AN APPEAL. A YOUNG LADY CF KINDER HOOK.
Why choose the crowd's ignoble doom, And wasU- thy morn, of pleasures dreaming? Should genius idly fold his phrnc, When all things bright for him are beaming! I pray thee by youth's glorious pride, Hy cvry hope men fondly cluiUh Hy all the hearts to thine allied Gain ii'isdjai ere life's verdure perish! Oil, many a lip condemns thy past. Long hast thou seemed a wayward rover; Now from thy fame the shadow cast A new, a stainless page turn over! Proud friends arc watching, hoping yet! Hoping that soon thon'lt shine in story. That when youth's clouded star his set, Thy manhood s sun shall rise m glory. What link :i pleasure's fragile chain I lath kept face 'mid her victims toiling? Know V. ll.ov. not every spell is vain,
'i.hat serpents 'neath her bowers are coiling?
i bun st worship d at her t'rotcus shrine lii many a scene of haughty splendour, And many a land cf ch arms divine Hath seen thee to her power surrender.
She'll haunt thee long!
.Lest honor droop atiection weary, And earth at last a desert grow. No fount to cheer, its sameness drearv! Thy genius blight, thy spirit's death. For these her wealth the siren scatters, Fur these her cup her song's rich breath, Tor these thy wildest dream she flatlet s.
Like spring flowers 'mid ungenial snow. Sleep 'neath thy pride the germs of feeling; Pew deem such priceless ticasnres glow,
When lip and brow wear scorn congealing; j Oh, to thyself one hour he jut; I
Men call thee yet the narMe uartetf; Away with pride and cold'distrust. Prove feeling pure has not departed.
On, on and gather knowledge Let wisdom check thy spirit's roving, 're one frail leaf descit life's bough; He first 'mid gloiy's favor'd moving' Then nearest a name o'er which is shed The light that from her temple beameth And yet as sunshine on the dead. O'er Ihv voung heart the radiance strcamcth

cannot be read without some touch ot the cmo'.ionby vhich it was dictated: I bad just looked upon her likeness, fresh as yesterday on features hand some in )outh and marked in age by ami ability and benevolence, telling not of ta leuts, nor accomplishments, but of the every djy duties and common place realities in life. From this I passed to the garden she had laid out and the flowers she had planted I heard the ti lends who had known her through life speak iho u logy of her virtue, her charily, her gen tlenss and usefulness I heard the veryslaves, whose lives had been spent in her service, talk of her with affectionate fondness. I was walking to her tomb in the very path where she had walked and wept, in the bitterness of sotrow, that she, humble and unassuming, should be dragged forth, in her old age, and made the target of scorn and lidicule,
because a des'iny she deemed lafiiy, had linked her to a man too much beloved
' not to be hated. I hy danger unow; ; tfjanvou wonder, as I stenned on the
circular platform that covers the grave, I felt that swelling of the heart which
j emotion al ways occasions? The inscription accorded well wiih my feelings. As
I lo. ked up from reading it, an old friend ot the General, whs ee had followed mine with i quivering lip, said, 'she deserves it ct.rv word of it. She had nothing of the affectations, the vices, or the accomplishment of fashion, but she was the best of women, all who knew her loved her.' T could not, as I read this last sentence of the inscription, check a tlush of shame and regret, that it saoukl chronicle lor posterity, the reckless bitterness ot an
electioneering ptes: inscription 3 'A being so gentle, yet so virtuous, S.'.i Kit'tr might wound but could not dish mo: ; Even Death, when he tore her from th? at ins of her husband, could but transport her to the bosom rf her Ood." Who can reflect, without mortification, that in times to come, tbousonds will read this inscription? i hey will
think of her purity and tent'onecs
her neighbors and friends. How shall

KNOWLEDGE OF LAW FOR FAMILIES. Legal relation of wan ard wife The effect produced by marriage on the legal rights of the parties are important to be known in every family. In law, husband and wife arc consider ed as one person; and on th"i3 principle, all their civil duties, rights and disabilities rest. The wife cannot sue in her own name. If she suffers injury, or wrong, in her person or property, she can, with her husband's aid and concurrence, prosecute for redress; but the busbar d must a'ways be the defendant. In criminal cases, However, their relations assume a new Torn.; the wife may in criminal cascs,b: piosccutcd and punished.
The wife can make no contract with the hubband, m,r the husband with the wife; this disability is involved in the (list principle which makes them lepal-
ly one. Ilut they may contract, through the agency of trustees, the wife being under protection of the husband. All contracts made between them belore marriage, arc dissolved upn that event. The husband cannot convey lands or rent 'he estates of his wile directly, but he may settle them upon her through trusteeship. The wife may release her dower to his grantee. As it respects
the right of bequest, the husband can al wavs devise real estate to his wife Upon marriage, the l.iiaband becomes possessed of all light and title to her property, whether personal or real and at the same time he becomes liable, for all debts, and must fulfil all her contracts
made prior to their theii union. If the wife die before the husband and there be no issue, her heirs succed to the real estate. Hut in case of issue, the husband remains in possession of her land- duiing h s life time oniy and at demise, they go
lo the heirs ol his wife. All debts due to the wife, become after marriage the property of the husband, who becomes invested with the power to sue on bond, note or any other obligation, to his own and exclusive use. The powers of discharges and assignment, and change ol securities, are involved in the leading principle. If he dies before tho lecovcry of the monty, or the change of securities, the wile becomes entitled to the debt in her own right. AH personal property of the wife, such as money, goods, moveables, and stocks, become absolutely the property of the
husband upon marriage, and on his death to his heirs. Property may be secured to the wire, by deeds or marriage settlement, in older to secure to the wife a comfortable competence against the vicissitudes of life or
the extravagances, vices or cruelly of her husband. Property may be settled on the wife after the marriage, by the husband, provided he be solvent at the time, and not niade with a view to defraud creditors. The wify cannot devise lands; but any per;.,:. a', or real estate settled upon her, intiust, she may bequeath; or any savings fiom the property given to her separate use.
The husband is bound to provide Ms-
wife with all necessaries suited to her condition in life; and bsccnv s liable for

saries, but nat lo;' supciiluittcs or extravagances. The husband and wife cannot be wit-
