A WIFE.

For the benefit of those ladies whose qualifications shall warrant the application, we republish the following:

From the Georgia Jonrnal. Wanted immediately, a wife to sweeten the cares of domestic life; one who is susceptible of the tenderest emotions of the human heart, and capable of receiving as well as communicating the pleasures of social and refined intercourse. Her form must be elegant, graceful and pleasing her features regular and well turned, with ever and anon, a smile of complacency upon them, indieative of a placid, serene tema "conscience void of per, and offence." She must possess a good understanding, enlarged by a refined education; not too scrupulous and nice, nor yet too credulous and unreserved; but in all things observing a just discrimination. She must be uniformly neat, temperate, discreet, affectionate, economical and industrious. No one need apply, who does not possess the above qualifications, as they are indispensable pre-requisites in support of the first proposition.

Negatively-She must not be addicted to gossipping about from pillar to post, in im

itation of a number of young flirts, exposing her person to the stupid stare and rude remark of vulgar minds, nor eat the bread of idleness; but look well to the ways of her household, lest, peradventure, in the journey through life, want should officiously look in at the window, and there should be a falling out by the way. Her tongue, like a turnpike, must not be at liberty at both ends, lest it should turn from her door the feet of those whose friendship, benevolence and good opinion are inestimable; nor like an eight days' Clock, must it be always at strike, lest the futter should get out of order, and the balance wheel should lose its equilibrium. Her door must not be shut against the houseless child of want, nor her ear deaf to the voice of humanity. Her Religion pure and undefiled, must not be the child of fashion, but the offspring of

HORRID MURDER.

The particulars of this abominable deed we have from a young man who was a distant spectator of the shocking catastrophe, as given before the Coroners inquest.-About 1 o'clock, P. M. on Saturday last, a young man named David Frank, who was in the employ of Mrs Collins, of this borough was seen walking with Miss Anna Collins, the eldest daughter of his employer (a charming young girl of 14 years of age) on a small island opposite her mother's residence, and on which some negroes were at work. They had not proceed. ed many paces during the witnesses ob servation, when he perceived Frank encercle Miss Collins' waist with his arm, when she suddenly rushed from him, uttered a most violent shriek and instantly fell? upon which Frank immediately ran to the adjoining creek and threw him. self into it apparently with the intention of drowning himself, in which being baffled by the shallowness of the water, he returned to shore, which he had no sooner regained, than he also fell! The witness on perceiving these strange, unaccount. able proceedings, procured a conoe and crossed the creek without delay, when on attempting to raise the young lady (little dreaming of her melancholy fate) perceived her throat cut from ear to ear! As soon as he recovered from the shock which so horrid a spectacle naturally produced, he approached the young man whom he found weltering in his blood, and on examination, he found his throat cut so effectually that his head was nearly severed from his body! He was lifeles, butthe detestable weapon with whichs he had rendered himself so (a short butcher's knife was clenched in his hand.

Frank was a well conducted young man about 21 years of age, and said to be of a respectable family in or contigu ous to Richmond-but from the super.

scription of a letter handed us this mor ning, suspect he is from Washington city. There are various and contradic tory reports afloat as to the motives of his committing this diabolical act; but the most prevalent is, that of being th warted in his affection for the young innocent who fell a victem to his temerity.

THE

sacred to love-several loud claps of thunder, accompani

ed with a torrent of rain, at length forced Eugenio and Virginia to take refuge in the grotto. In a short time the storm increased with redoubled

fury, the heavens appeared on fire, the forked lightnings rent the clouds, the thunder rolled without intermission, and the rain overflowed the recesses of the grotto. Virginia, terrified, placed one of her hands before her eyes, while with the other she pressed the arm of Eugenio. At that moment a violent peal of thunder shook the earth

with the most amiable of human passions, and, enchanted by the excess of their love, seemed to disregard every other object in nature, the sky became suddenly obscureddark clouds, the presage of a storm, gathered round the lofty tops of the Apennine mountains the wind rose with terrific murmurs, and agitated the flexible branches of the trees which formed the grove
