The Wife.

We extract the following beautiful tri-
butte TO women, from the Chicago Jour.
nal suggested by an incident in the trial
of man for assault with intent to kill.
While the trial was in progress, an in
cident occurred, which beautifully exem
pliies the abiding faith and affection Of
a true woman, no matter what her name
or her fortune.
The Ruth, like spirit is never so beau
tiful, as when those it clings to. are un-
der the cloud of sorrow, care or crime.
So have we seen some forest tree, that u
vine entwines-- "a tree the bolt has riyen,
the Winter blasted. or time crumbled.
Its spring coronal has faded and gone
its naked arms are tossed frantieally TO-
ward Heaven in the blast--the song has
ceased among its branches. and the CO.
vert Of the deserted nest is laid bare to
the day.
But the vine encircles it still-eonceal.
ing with its green leaves the nakedness
of its once proud supporter-clinging to
it as ever, but sustaining it the while.
by and by. there comes tempest out
Of the sky, and the trunk is blended with
the dust. Examine it now. You shall
find the vine surrounding itstill. but torn
up by the roots. Passing that way a.
gain in melancholy day the rustIing
of the wilhered leaves shall mournfully
accord with the feelings Of the hour. II
death as in life, they are one.
But to the incident: During some mo-
mentary pause. the wife Of the defend.
ant entered, and making her way tow.
ards her unfortunate husband placed her
hand upon his head, and turning to the
court, made, what has cen described to
us. as a toashing and eloquent appeal ia
his behalf-- eloquent not in argument and
common law, but in feeling, and the
higher law of true and earnest nat ure.
The precise words are OF little moment,
the sentiment, the sentiment; of the &C.
itself had it been unaccompanied with u
solitary articulation. would have been le,
gible it not audible, as with one hand on
the head Of him she had sworn to love
she stood there in silent appeal. -

Our noble ship lay at anchor in the
Bay Of Tangier, a fortified city in the

The day had been extremely mild,
with a gentle breeze sweeping in from

The gap in the dense timber appeared TO
be about sixty ora hundred feet in width
and the assure ia tie earth reached 10 an
