"sAyE HIM FROM HIS tPARTYl FRIENDS
A Washington correspondent Of The Boston
Courier (Whis) speaks Of The appalling GER
tainty that Mr.. Clay will again appear in The
political circles after The fourth OF March. The
aggregate impression Of The event among Wings
is much like that the world would experience, il,
after having been long threatened with The
switch OF a comets lail, il had behed that comet
recedins into space until their fears had been
succeeded by ecstasies OF joy al their escape;

capricious movement, 10 see II suddenly and I'M
expecledly Turn in lis course, and with even more
terrible aspect, come blazing back upon the inhab-
itants OF the affrighled plannet. The alarm will
moi cease 10 be leli until il shall have been dis
covered that the new orbit does moi mpinge that
OF The incoming administration, or that that
comet, like some known comets of the sel-
lar system, has, by its repeated revolutions, be-
come dimmed in brilliance and wasted in volume
and power, until collision Itself with The threat
ening body, furnishes no ground for apprehen-
sion. That the one condition or The other will
soon be established 10 certainty, have no

Mrs. Harry Monteith sat in her neat,
cozy parlor, book in hand. A large
fire sblazed behind the burpished andi,
rous and shining fender, lighting up the
four corners .of;the room, glowing on
the Venetian. blinds, and deepening the
rose Of the cheek Of the young WIFE.
She was waiting the return Of her hus-
band from his counting house, and was
wandering at his absence, so unusual at
that hour. He had often said that
these quiet evenings were the great
spots in his life; and she felt 50 happy
after a whole days separation to have
him seated at her side. What could
detain him?
The door-bell rang. She started up;
butt was only a messenger, telling
her not to be uneasy, as his "new
goods" Ind arrived, and he was busy
unpacking them.
ssThen he will not be here for some
time she thought, as she resumed
her seat with q Sigh Of disappointment:
sob, Il wish Harry was not q .ncr.
chant!' The beautiful volume she
held yesterdays present from him,
an elegant edition Of ssThe Wifc's own
Book"-had suddenly lost its attraction
even Washington Irying's incompara-
bic. sketch Of. the misfortunes of his
friend Leslie, and the heroic devotion
Of thenoble Mary, failed to interest
auqagr. she opened her piano; but the
voice that usually ming led with hers i'll
the song, and whispered sweet words
ofpraise, was absent, and music had
lost its powcr to amuse her. At last
she Thought, to while away the hours Of
his absence, she would cross the street
to5the mansion of an old friend of her
mothers. So leaving message for
Harry to follow her, if he should re.
turn in nyhalfan hour, she set ont.
1T was but few steps, and when
she, reached the door she dismissed the
seryant.awho had accompanied her,
charging him to deliver her message to
Mr.. Monteith without fail. Mrs. Rus
sellwas charmed to see her dear Ag-
1les, and eces il many anxious inquiries
concerning her domestic arrangements,
they gradually began to discourse on
the great and important duties of mar
ried ifes Mis-. Russell dwelling par
ticularly on the obligations ofawife to
obeyher husband as the lord and mas
ter Of hersshouse and heart. Agnes
disliked this strong. stern language.
and after d little while remarked
FsBut, my dear madam, we are not
bound tossryitude when we marry ,such
as the slave renders to his owner
Ours Is the bondage Of love, and from
m,y experience Z pronounce it an scasy

rules by gentle enbmission. L am GER
tain Harry will never exact anything

This was uttered with q confident
smile. Mrs. Russell shook her head
and sighed dolofully,as she replied
"My poor girl, you have been mar
ricd but six months, and the 'honey
moon is' rcely over yet Wait un-
tilthe emu Of tie present year, and see

ANc1ENT. MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
The Eyypsain flute was only a cows
horn, with only three or four holes in
it; and their harp or Tyre, had only
three strings. The Jewish triumpets
that made the walls of Jericho fall down
were only rams horns; the psaltery was
q small triangular harp orlyre, with an
iron needle stick; their sacbut reseme-
led tho zagg used at Maltain the pres
ent day, species of bagpipe; tho tim
brel was o tamborine, aud the dulcimer
a horizontal harp with wire strings, and
struck with stick like the psaltery,
such as are seen about the streets of
London in tho present day. Imagine
the discord produced by 100000 of
such instruments while playing at the
dedication Of Solomon's temple.
