Ia the morning she met him as if moth
ing had happened, but whenever Jack ven
tured TO allude to the rupture Of the night
previous, there was "laughing devil' in
her eye, which bespoke her power, and
extinguished hope. A second time he re-
paired TO bis lonely couch, and a second
time he called upon his pride to support
him in The sruggle--which he now found
was getting desperate. He vented curses,
'not loud and deep" on the waywardness
and caprice Of the sex in general, and of
his own wife in wondered how
much longer she would hold out - whether
she suffered as acutely as he did, and tried
hard TO delude himself into the belief that
she loved hun too much TO prolong the es-
arrangement, aud would come to him with
morning - perhaps that very night, and sue
for reconciliation. But then came the re-
collection OF that intlexible countpnancp, of
That's unbendng will, and Of that laughing
and Implying eve--and he felt convinced
that he was hoping against hope, and des-
paringly he turned TO the wall for obliv.
ion from the wretchedness of his own
thoughts.
The second day was a repetition of the
first-no alinson was made to the forbidden
subject, on either side. There was a look
OF quiet happiness and cheerfuiness about
his wife, that puzzled Jack sorely, and he
felt that all idea OF forcing her Vo sur
render, must be abandoned.
n third night he was alone with his
thoughts. His reflections were more seri-
Gus and composed than on the night previ-
Gus. Wha: they We're of, of coutse were
known only 10 himself, but they seemed
to result in something decided, for about
midnight, three distinct taps were made al
his wiie's door. No answer and the sig
nal was repeated in a louder tone still all
was silent, and third time the door shook
with violent attacks from the outside.
"Who's there 20 cried the voice OF his
wife, as il just aroused from deep sleep.
"lt's me, my dear, and perhaps little
the best Whig you ever did see."
The revolution in such opinions was
radical and permanent. He removed 10
another county, became popular, offered
himself as candidate on the Wing ticket
tor the Legislature, and was elected, and
Tor several sessions represented his adopted
county, as firm aud decided Wing.

And hangs The wild iorget-me not

Where rose and lilies waves,

And spread its glossy covering DER
The violet raise its iImid eye,
And on the gale It's fragrance pour.
Oh, would the grassy mound
As garden terrace fair,
With Flora's sweetest beauties crowned
Aud soft perfumes should linger there.
Bright birds shall wander there,
Aud fold their rainbow wings,
While OH the scented summer air
Their wild, sweet music rings.
There sunsets golden ligh, shall lie,
