THE WIFE.

BY Washington Irvng.] have often had oc-
casion TO remark the foritude with which women
sustain the most overwhelming reverses of fortune
Those disasters which break down the spirit of man,
and PROSTATE him in the dust, to call forth all
the energies of the softer sex, and give such nre
pidy and elevation to their character that at times
it approaches to sublmny. Nothing can be more
touching than to behold n soft and tender female,
who had been all weakness and dependence, and
alive to every trivial oughness, while treadiug the
prosperous paths of life, suddenly rising in mental
force TO be the comforter and supporter of her hus
band under misfortune, and abiding with unshrink-
ing frmness, the most bitter blasts of adversely.
As the vine which has long twined its graceful TO-
liagc and been lifted by it into sunshine will, when
the hardy plant is rived by the thunderbot cling
around 1t with its caressing tcndrils, and bind up
its shattered bough SO it is beautifully ordered by
Providence, that woman, who is the mere depen-
dent and ornament of man his happier hours should
be his stay and soace. when smitten with sudden
calamity: winding herself into the rugged recesses
of his nature, tendery supporting the dropping head
and binding up the broken heart. was once con-
graduating friend who had around him bloom
ing family knit together in the strongest affection
" | can wish you no better lot,' said he with en-
thusiasm, 4" than to have a wife aud children. If
you prosperous they are to share in your pros
perity if otherwise they are to comfort you" And
indeed have Observed that married man falling
into misfortune more apt to retrieve his situation
in the world than a single one; partly because he
is stimulated to exerion by the necessities of
the helpless and beloved beings who depend upon
him for subsistence but chiefly because his spirits
are soo,hed and relieved by domestic endearments,
and his self respect kept alive by finding that though
all abroad is darkness and humiliation, yet there Is
still little work Of love at home, of which he is the
monarch-Whereas, a single man is apt to run to
waste and sel-negect; TO fancy himself lonely and
abandoned, and suffers his heart to fall to ruin, like
some deserted mansion for want of an iuhabtant.

THE BROTHERS. TALE OF THE FRoNp.

IA highly wrought and exciting production of the
pen of Ii. w. Herbert, Esq. recently issued from
the press of the Harpers, has been lying our ta
BILE for days, but as yet our vocations have al
lowed us time only for n cursory glance at its con-
tents The period which has furnished the novelist
with his materials is the cventul of civil war
which distinguished the earlier pari of the reign Of
Louis XIV, when France field of unceasing
bloodshed and of alternate triumph and disaster.
The following extract may be taken rs a sample of
the energy aud strong excitement which the author
has thrown into almost every page of his romance.
The wounded man referred To is rufiau who
had thrice assailed the life of Morning,on, the hero
of the tale, and had been shot down after the first
attempt, by Lydford, an old and faithful follower of
the latter
When got into my apartment, there was no per-
sons i'm it but the wounded man-who had been has
tily laid on my couch by the bearcrs--and old
Lydford; who, well aware that l solictous
about the fcllow-although l conclude that like the
worthy surgeon, he was somewhat IN the dark rs to
nv motives-was bathing hls head from time to time
and moistening his parchcd lips. For these kind
offices he was rewarded with brief and bitter
which was indeed the only sign the scoundrel gave
of life or consciousness.
His eyes were closed his teeth firmly set aud
the black dews of death were already cloggng the
pores of his swarthy brow. A fearful CONFUSION
would ever and anon shake his whole frame and his
broad chest would rise and fall with horrible spas
modic action, that scarcely less terrible to look
upon than it must have been agonizing to endure.
He was, indeed the fellow who had doggcd
me from the very first, and was, felt but little doubt
the same horseman who had attended the carriage
of Isabel's tormentor and who the attack of the
second brother, had fled, only for the purpose of
bringing up the other attendants, who had so
ly intercepted my escape. So fearful were his ago.
nes that could hardly bring myself to torment the
dying wretch with questions but the stake for which
l played of a value paramount to every other
consideration. felt that this perhaps the only
opportunity might have of learning the place
of Isabel's concealment; and in that feeling ad-
dressed him without compuncon or delay.
"My friend" said in low and placid voice
my friend, grieve to say to you that your career
on earth is well nigh ended. We soldiers have but

all much cause to wish for time Would you not

From tho JeferSonioH
THE EXILE's COMPLAINT.

Our hearts beat with hope when left own shore
For, fled when oppression we thought was no more
For lodge in the temple Of freedom we pined,-
In each freeman expecting brother to find
We beev d in their truth who love and his rights,
And despise not the victim Of fortunes i'll bights;
But welcome sincerely in heart and with hand
The coniding poor exile who flies 10 their band.
All why did we try 10 escape from the pains,
Oftyranny's scourge, and of slaverys chains,
Why mourned we the wrongs Of the place Of our birth
Till our tears, with blood fed the of the earth
America promised to stretch forth her arm,
And afford a refuge from grief and alarm
Bnt too late have found that injustice cen there
Opens fresh the heart wounds that hoped to.repar.
Thy beacon,-lair Liberty guided our path -
Then why should thy votares greet with wrath
To them and 10 thee for protection we iy;-
lfye welcome us not, then, in peace let us die.
Grant us-Oh grant us good parent above,
Somewhere to meet with compassion aud love -
In this world, great God for as there's room
Friend Of the desolate, think ofour doom!

ILL TEMPER.

How often is the happiness of married life destroy
ed by the weak indulgence of captous temper
How often may the confidence of those who have
no thoughts hut for each other be shaken by this
uncertainty in the effect produced by their commu.
nications. How complete is the mutual ease, the
unrestransd openness, and the happy feeling de-
stroyed, when the curl of the lip and the frown or
the brow must be.watched and the tone of the voice
listened to- the subject in question be safely
broached. When once the thought that now was
the fitting opportunity has crossed the minds of Ell
ther party, and when the delay is felt re-
prieve than privation, then may both be tha,
for the questionable pleasure ofindugng irritabiity.
one of the blessings of marimony has been fortified
They are at once deprived of the comfort of that
quick and open interchange of thought and feeling
which should exist in welded life. .,. .s.H

ANECDOTE.

A young lady was very much i'll love with a
young Irish officer; but that false delicacy which
prevails among the female sex, would not permit her
to disclose her passion, However, her atten.
tions were unremitted, and she was lavish in COM
plments when opportunity would permit. But the
officer was delicate man and inexperienced in
those matters he was therefore unconscious of her
meaning: and it remained for the young lady either
to be more explicit continue in all the torture OF
suspense. The former being her choice, she availed
herself of circumstance which happened. There
where fowls and scarcity of plates, so the young
lady taking notice Of and resolving to seize the pres
ent happy moment, turned about, and with an ex-
prcssve look said, Pray, sir, lay your bones rith
mine The officer took the hint aud an Stiaireisse-
ment took place that evening.

ROMANTIC.

Il recollect pretty incident, which may not be
uninteresting to the reader-A wild young fellow
married lovely girl, and having been long addicted
To habits of dissipation, the sincere attachment
which he entertained towards his wife could not
entirely disentnngle him from its snarcs His occa-
sional irregular hours, would have given any but one
OF so pure and sweet disposition every reason to
suspect that she did not, hold that place in his af
lection which was her right: but this reflection
scarcely ever intruded upon her spirits. The hus-
band was far from being cruel, and really loved her,
but his disposition was, weak and his companions
eloquent, and Inc seemed to grow worse rather than
better in his habits II happened that he
was called out Of town, and in his haste left behind
him a letter, in which, to please unprinciplcd
friend he had spoken Of his wife in terms Of
lessnes, if not Of derison, and dated freely upon
his general course of life. Imagine the anxiety and
fuspcnsc of thc startlcd proAigate. when he found

which have been seriously interrupted by the rerac-
tory conduct of the prisoners one Of them, an old
grenadier, about six feet in height, pushed from him
one ofthe line, land appealed 10 the municipal guard
" Keep your hands otf cried he in a voice of thun-
der; " address me cl,ilIy, and will answer YOU in
the same manner; but keep your hand off, or ex-
pect the consequences This is my man,'' added
the municipal guard on his right, actually lifting him
some distance from the ground, and then holding
him up to the view of his amazed and terrified COM
rade-" this is my man, and have n high respcc,
for him. You have yet to learn that a sericapi of

THE SCOLD

To dine on devils without drinking.
To want a seat when almos, sinking.
To pay to-day--receve tomorrow.
To sit at ieasts in silent sorrow,
To sweat in winter--in the boot.
To feel the gravel cut ones foot!
Or cursed flea within The stocking
Chase up and down-are very shocking
With onc hand dirty, one hand clean.
Or with one slipper to be seen:
To be detained when most in hurry.
Might put Griselda in a furry;
But these, and every other bore.
II to the list you add ascore,
Are not so bad, upon my life,
A. that one scourge-a scolding wife!

skeleton hand of disease or our senses whirled in

torn by the recent separation of some beloved object
while our tears are yet flowing upon the fresh turf

the office of friendship to shield us from the porten-

and to divert the aching heart from the object of its
bleeding affections.
