1.-The story is soon related, had observed for
a long time that their homes were growing
dismal, and often told Mrs Lang what
feared concerning her husband. Indeed
had heard you tell of his repeating over his
glass that abominable saying, the devils at
home After my conversation with you,

wives Simple creatures they scarcely
knew what meant. They wished indeed
that the men would spend more time at home

drinking. But they were not prepared for

attractions ofther own fire and table make

Though it is likely Nelson did not just

had proved successful in saving himselffrom

be wished that all our towns and villages
were filled with such wives as honor and

full influence the wife must be keeper at

evening visitor, and often enlarge her frugal
board for the bevy of friends, or even Join in

ANEcDOTE OF GEN. WoLF.-From
am admirable lecture on the "Romauce
of American History" recently deliver
ed by w. B. Reed, Esq. at the Athenian
Institute, Philadelphia, and published
in the last number Of Waldie's Library.
we extract the snbjoined Evolutionary
anecdote of General Wolf, the gallant
conqueror OF the less fortunate but not
less gallant Montcalm. The youthful
general. welded to glory. as he was and
standing on the verge of fate, had vet, i,
seems, full perception of the beauties
of the finest and most finished poem in
the English language:
"On the night before the battle OF the
Plains, the young English general pas.
sed close to the French batteries in n
boat on visit to one of his posts. The
night was calm and serene. The crew
piled their muffled oars as they passed
concealed by the deep shadow which
even at night the citadel of Quebec and
the castle OF st. Louis cast on the placid
waters of the st. Lawrence. In the
stern OF the boat sat Wolf and one of his
aids, and close TO them a young mid>
shipman, the cockswain OF the boat, from
whom the legend is derived. an anxious
listner to each word that ight fall from
his generals lips. And of what was
ne conversing? was it OF the next DAVIS
doubtful confiict-was it of the prospect
OF victory or defeat-was it of q peer.
age or Of Westminster Abbey-was it OF
the foe, within the reach Of whose SEN
tries they were stealthily passing Ii
was of none of these that the youth full
soldier was speaking. HIS thoughts
were Of distant and gentler themes. He
spoke of a new poem that had p peared
in England just before he left there-he
spoke of it as one might speak OF any
poem fresh from the London press, and
reciting each stanza Of THE Elegv in a
Country Churchyard," exclaimed when
he had finished it, ri would rather have
written that poem than take Que bee to,

The RICH AND THE PooR.-In re-
latlon to the efforts Of mlschievous dem.
asogues. TO array the poor against the
rich, and to persuade the former that bis
interests are oppose 10 the latter, the
following opPortune remarks are found
in an address from democratic associa-
ton in Philadelphia. They are just
and severe rebuke
"He who counsels hostility against
wealth, is an enemy to his rsce--he is
an enemy to every man who desires to
improve his condition, and partake of
the bounties Of Providence he is an
enemy to his own children, for in this
country the poor are the fathers of the
rich. The hardy sons Of: toll and pow
erty-those who earn and save-are
those who accumulate and enjoy. He
who would undermine the security OF
property and declare war against CAPT,
tai, would arrest the march of improve
ment and of mind lay an embargo upon
every ship in port; stop the busy wheels
oil industry put out the fires OF the forge
and of the steam engine shut up the
shop OF every mechanic, and, finally,
transform civilized nations into hordes Of
savages, and countries glitteriDg in the
sun light OF improvement, into dark and
dismal forests"
