American gift books fok i86i.?Agents
wanted to circulate the following new and beautiful
works, (retail price, 60 per vol.) A new and complete
PICTORIAL HISTORY OP CHINA AND INDIA;

inhabitants, from the earliest period of authentic history
to the present time. In which tho editor has treated uot

SEARS' PICTORIAL FAMILY PUBLICATIONS
are decidedly the best books that agents can possibly em

possessed by every fiunily in tills great ropvbllc. There is
not a city or town In these United States, not even those
of small importance, but contains many clti?ens to whom
these works aro indispensable. They aro adapted to the
literary wants of the Christian, the patriot, the statesman,
and the domestic circle, got up in a superior stylo of art
and workmanship; and aro not only such books as will
sell, but aro such as an agent of good principlo will feel
free to recommend, and willing to seo the purchaser again
after they have been bought.
Our Plan-.?The plan tho publisher has so successfully
carried out for several years, is the obtaining responsible
men as agents, who are woll known in their owncountios,
towns, and villages, and liavo time and disposition to cir
culate good and instructive books among their neighbors
and friends. Any person wishing to embark in tho enter
prise will risk little in semlisg $25 or $50, for which he
will receive an assortment as he may direct, at the whole
sale cash prices.
Enterprising and active men of respoctabinty and gootl
address, would do well to engage in the sale of the above
volumes; and all postmasters, clergymen, book pedlars,
and newspaper agents, are respectfully -requested to act
as our agents. A handsomo remuneration allowed to all
who engage in their sale. For particulars address, post
paid, ROBERT SEARS, 128 Nassau street, N. Y.

"MARRYING IN HASTE, AND REPENTING
AT LEISURE!"
In selecting the following truthful narrative,
we are influenced by a desire to warn tlie young
from the consequences of taking inconsiderately
an important step that cannot be retraced. We
would, however, remark, that "a little shanty,
situated in a lonesome, out-of-the-way place,"
would not affect the happiness of many a woman,
who could not yet be happy beneath the roof of
an imposter and an idler. Bad people mistake,
at every point, the things that would make
them happy.
The Man who Advertised foe a Wife.?
The Watchman, of the 25th of March, published
at Greenport, on the east end of Long Island,
gives the following history of a hasty marriage,
occasioned by advertising for a wife in the news
papers :
An affair, somewhat novel and exciting, took
place in the village of Cutchoguc, a few days
since. It appears that Joseph Baker, of that
plaoe, and late of Greenport, went to New York
a few weeks ago for the purpose of obtaining a
wife. His first move was to publish an adver
tisement in the New York Sun, stating that a
young widower, about twenty-five years of age,
having one child and a farm a short distance in
the country, wished to enter a second time ihto
the matrimonial state with some respectable
lady of about his own age.
This notice attracted the attention of a young
girl in the city, aged somo eighteen or nineteen
years, by the name of Elsie Craig, who soon
responded to Joseph's notice. This was fol
lowed by an interview between the parties.
According to the account which the girl gave
at Cutchoguc, Mr. Baker represented himself
to her to be a gentleman of character and re
spectability in the community where he lived;
that ho had a valuable farm down on Long
Island, with a good house, pleasantly situated,
and all the necessary improvements and appur
tenances ; that he kept cows and other stock,
together with a horse, carriage, &c.
After a negotiation of a number of days, a
matrimonial engagement was entered into,
which was finally consummated in due form,
by a clergyman of tho city, on Saturday morn
ing last. After the marriage ceremony was
solemnized, the parties, accompanied by the
mother of the bride, immediately left the city
and took the accommodation train to visit the
splendid establishment of Mr. Joseph Baker, at
Cutchoguc, on Long Island, with high hopes
and pleasing anticipations, no doubt.
On arriving at Mr. Baker's handsome resi
dence, behold it was not there 1 Nothing but a
little shanty, situated in a lonesome, out-of-the
way place, with every indication of indolence
and porcrty, instead of a neat, comfortable
dwelling, presented itself to the astonished
strangers. The poor girl and her mother, after
taking a fair view of the premises, and discov
ering tho imposition, and the manner in which
the daughter had been duped, overwhelmed
with disappointment, mortification, and disgust,
at once decided to return to the city.
They found a friendly shelter at the house of
Mr. Hallock, at no great distant, and after
making proper inquiries respecting the charac
ter, habits, and circumstances of the said Jo
seph Baker, as they were understood in that
community, they declared that the marriage
was brought about by false pretences, misrep
resentations and hypocrisy. A lawyer and a
justice were soon called in, to untie the matri
monial knot which had so recently, and so im
prudently, and foolishly on the part of the girl,
been formed by the parties. Writings were
duly executed, by which tho young lady relin
quished all claim and right of dower to any
property which the said Joseph Baker might
have, with a consent on his part that the mar- j
ring? contract, to all inteuts and purposes,
might be dissolved. The mother and daughter '
took the cars on Monday, and returned to the
city.
We understand that Miss Craig, now Mrs.
Baker, is an industrious, respectable girl?a J
tailoress, in New York, and of respectable con
nexions; and that the matrimonial alliance be
tween herself and Baker was with the advice
and consent of her mother, who it seems gave
too much credit to fair protestations without
proper proof.

THE TIMELY WARNING.
BY A SUfFKKKK.
My father, after an absence of three vears
returned to the home so dear to him. He had I
made his last voyage, and rejoiced to have!
reached a haven of rest from the perils of the '
sea. Ihiring his absence, I had grown from a
mere child and baby of my mother's?for I was
her youngest?into a rough, careless, and head
strong boy. Her gentle voice no longer re
strained me. 1 was often wilful, and sometimes
disobedient. I thought it indicated manly su
periority to be independent of a woman's influ
ence. My father's return was a fortunate cir
cumstance for me. He soon perceived the spirit I
of insubordination stirring within me. I saw
by his manner that it displeased him, although,
for a few days, he said nothing to me about it.
It was an afternoon in October, bright and
golden, that ray father told me to get my hat
and take a walk with him. We turned down a
narrow lane into a fine open field?a favorite
play-ground for the children in the neighbor
hood. After talking cheerfully on different
topics for a while, my father asked me if I ob
served that huge shadow, thrown by a massive
rock that stood in the middle of the field ? I
replied that I did.
" My father owned this land," said he. " It
was mv play-ground when a boy. That rock
stood there then, To me it is a beacon, and
whenever I look at it, I recall a dark spot in
Iw ?5?ran evont 80 PaLnful to dwell upon,
that if it were not as a warning to you, I should
not speak of it. Listen, then, my boy, and
learn wisdom from your father's errors.
"My father died when I was a mere child.
1 was the only son. My mother was a gentle
loving woman, devoted to her children, and be
loved by every body. I remember her pale,
beautiful face?her sweet, affectionate smile?
loved her intensely. I was never happy apart
from her, and she, fearing that I was becoming
too much of a baby, sent me to the high school
in the village. After associating a time with
i ude, rough boys, I lost, in a measure, my fond
ness for home, and reverence for my mother,
and it became more and more difficult for her
to restrain my impetuous nature. I thought it
an indication of manliness to resist her autho
rity, or to appear to feel penitent although I
knew that my conduct pained her. The epithet
I most dreaded was girl-boy. I could not bear
to hear it said by my companions that I was
tied to my mother's apron-strings. From a
quiet, home-loving child, I soon became a wild,
roistering, boy. My dear mother used every
persuasion to induce me to seek happiness
within the precincts of home. She exerted her
self to make our fireside attractive; and my
sister, following her self-sacrificing example,
sought to enticc me by planning games and
diversions for my entertainment. I saw all
this, but did not heed it.
"14 wa? an afternoon like this, that 1 was
about leaving the dining-table, to spend the in
termission between the morning and evening
school, in the street, as usual; my mother had
her hand upon my shoulder, and said, mildly
but firmly, ? My son, I wish you to come with
me.' I would have rebelled, but something in
, her manner awed me. She put on her bonnet
and said to me, ' We will take a little walk to
gether.' I followed her in silence; and, as I
was passing oujt the door, I observed one of my
rude companions skulking about the house, and
I knew bo was waiting for me. He sneered fia
1 went past him. My pride was wounded to
the quick. He was a very bad boy, but being
some years older than myself, he exercised u
great influence over me. I followed my mother
sulkily, till we reached the spot where we now
stand, beneath the shadow of the huge rock.
0, my boy, could that hour be blotted from my
memory, which has cast a shadow over my
whole life, gladly would I exchange all that the
world can offer me for the quiet peace of mind
I should enjoy. But, no! like this huge, un
sightly pile stands the monument of my guilt
forever.
" My mother, being in feeble health, sat
down, and beckoned mo to sit beside her. Her
look, so full of tender sorrow, is present to me
now. I would not sit, but continued standing
sullenly beside her. 'Alfred, my dear son,' said
she, 'have you lost all love for your mother?' I
did not reply. ' I fear you have,' she continued;
| ' and mpy God help you to see your own heart,
and me to do my duty!' She then talked to me
of my misdeeds, of the dreadful consequences
of the course I was pursuing. By tears and I
entreaties and prayers, she tried to make an I
impression upon me. She placed before me the
lives and oxamples of grout and good men ; she
sought to stimulate my ambition. 1 was moved,
but too proud to show it, and remained stand
ing in dogged silence beside her. I thought,
' What will my companions say, if, after all my
boasting, I yield at last, and submit to be led
by a woman
"What agony was visible on my mother's
face, when she saw that all she had said and
suffered failed to move mo! She rose to go
home, and I followed at a distance. She spoke
no more to me till we reached her own door.
" 'It is school-time, now,' said she. 'Oo, my
son, and once more let me beseech you to think
upon what 1 have said to you.'
" 'I shan't go to school,' said I.
" She looked astonished at my boldness, but
replied firmly, 'Certainly you will go, Alfred.
I command you.'
'I will not, said I, with a tone of defiance.
" 'One of two things you must do, Alfred ;
either go to school this moment, or I will lock
you in your own room, and keep you there till
you are ready to promise Implicit obedience to
my wishes in future.'
" 'I dare you to do it!' said I; 'you can't get
me up-stairs.'
" 'Alfred, choose now,' said my mother, and
laid her hand upon my arm. She trembled vio
lently, and was deadly pale.
"If you touch me I will kick,' said I, in a
terrible rage. God knows I knew not what I
said!
" 'Will you go, Alfred?'
" 'No,' 1 replied, but quailed beneath her
eye.
"Then follow me,' said she, and grasped my
arm firmly. I raised my foot?oh, my son hear
me! I raised my foot, and kicked her?my
sainted mother! How my head reels, as the
torrent of memory rushes over me ! 1 kicked
my mother?a feeble woman?my mother! Mav
God forgive me, for I can never forgive myself!
She staggered back a few steps, and leaned
against the wall. She did not look at me. I
saw Iter heart beat against her breast. '0,
heavenly Father,' she cried, ' forgive him, he
knows not what he does.' The gardener just
then passed the door, and, seeing my mother
pale and almost unable to stand, he stopped;
s if beckoned hhn In. 4 Take this boy up-stairs,
and lock him in his own room,' said she, and
turned from me. Looking back, u ehe was en
tering her room, she gave me euch & look?It
will forever foil6w me?it *u a look of agony,
mingled with intenseat love?it waa the laat
unutterable pang from a heart that wm broken.

WONDERFUL PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOM
ENA.
The rappings and knockings are to be put in
the shade by the advent among the New York
ers of Mons. Oandon and his nephew. The
Day Book says their performance has filled the
editor with wonder, and is f?r in advance of the
other mysterious phenomena aecently read of.
M. Gnndon, a gentleman just arrived from
Paris, has brought with him a nephew, a quick,
intelligent young man of seventeen, whose life
and intellectual con*dousneae appear to be ab
solutely identical with that of his uncle-master.
The best way to give the reader an idea of this
strange and confounding matter is to describo
in Foster's own words what he Baw and heard.
M. Gandon and his nephew being introduced
to him, the young man took his station at aome
distance, with his back towards him, while the
uncle stood looking over his shoulder, at the
desk. The young man knows no language but
French, as Foster was informed by ft gentleman
of veracity, well known to hhn. He then wrote
the date of his birth, and aeked the young man
(M. Gandon, the unole, not saying ft word not
making a motion) to read it He did to, accu
rately. He set down a column of figures, and
requested the young man to give the total. He
did so, as before, without a word from his un
cle, quicker than Foster could add them up.
He wrote the names of several gentlemen iA the
room, which the young Frenchman inaiftntly
gave, with the English proiAinciation.
One of Mr. F.'s little daughters, accompanied
by a friend, at this moment came in, and he
wrote her name. "What is the name of my
youngest daughter!" he then inquired, in Eng
lish. "Nina," was the immediate response.
"What is her sister's name?" "Georgina."
He then wrote the name of the little Nina's fa
vorite flower, and asked, in English, 44 what
flower does she love best?" He answered, at
once, 44 Violet." He wrote again: 44 What is
the favorite flower of this other little lftdy?"
44Rose." He wrote again: "Whatluve we
now written?"
44 Italian."
44 What are the words ?"
44 Amo?una?donzclla."
44 In French?"
44 J'aime une demoiselle."
44 In English?"
441 love a young lady."
It is to be remembered that the question*
were always put iu English, and that the uncle
never raised hts eyes from what Foster had
written, and never exchanged ft word nor sign
with his nephew. This Foster aayahe know*?
i for you may be sure be watched him close
enough. He then left the young man standing
where he was, and passed into the printing of
fice, quite out of his sight. Going to a case he
picked up a letter, and inquired, in English,
"What type is this?"
4'E," (giving the English pronunciation.)
"What is this ?"
(After an instant's hesitation)?"Double-oo. '
The letter W not being in the French alpha
bet, Foster supposes M. Gandon himself hesi
tated before remembering its name. With this
exception, the answers were all given instanta
| neously.
Several other experiments were tried, every
one of which was attended with the same per
fect success. These people do not have to ask
the consent of the spirits for going on with their
experiments. They are always ready, and al
ways the same result is produced. Foster does
not pretend to explain?he only writes what he
knows, and to exclaim with Horatio,
"Oh, dny and night, but this is wondroug strung?!"

DEATH WARRANT.
West Chester, April 2, 1851.?The death
warrant for the execution of George Pharoali,
convicted at the last court for the murder of
Miss Rachel Sharpless, was received yesterday,
and read to him this morning, in the presence
of several witnesses. The day of execution is
fixed for August 29, 1851.
After the reading of the warrant, the Rev. A.
S. Patton, of the Baptist Church, offered an
appropriate prayer, to which the prisoner re
sponded by frequent sobs.?Public Ledger.
Cknsi-b or Richmond.?The Richmond Repub
lican of yesterday says: "We are glad to learn
that the census of Richmond is to be again
taken. The late census, as taken by the federal
officers, was glaringly defective. The most cur
Bory glance at the list reveals the omission of
hundreds of names, and what is strange, too,
many of them among our best known citizens.
For example, Col. Bigger, the postmaster here,
is taken no note of, and other citizens of Rich
mond of equal prominence, with large families,
are entirely passed by. A correct census of
Richmond will show, beyond all doubt, thirty
three thousand, and probably thirty-five thou
sand inhabitants; whilst the inhabitants of the
suburbs, which ought in fact to be considered
a p?rt of the city, will number seven thousand
more. Richmond is growing with great rapid
ity, and as the various improvement#, and es
pecially the James river canal, penetrate farther
into the interior, our goodly city will advaece
with a speed which will send joy to the hearts
of all who rejoice in the prosperity of the Old
Dominion,"
Mr. Wvlp, the geographer, has secured, by
payment of ?3,000, the permission to erect his
great terrestrial globe in the enclosed space
forming the centre of Leicester Square. 44 The
building is to be of a circular form, 90 feet
across, enclosing the globe, of 6Q feet in diam
eter. Corriders for promenade will surround
it, and it is to have four covered approaches
from the sides of the square. The external ele
vation at the sides is propoeed to be 20 feet
high, surmounted by a large bell-shaped roof
of zinc. The building itaelf will be mainly of
timber, the inner surface on the globe of plfteter

series of galleries, four in number, constructed
so as to enable visiters to see every portion of
the model. These galleries, it Is said, wiTl af

at one time, and are to be approached by a
