CHARLKsTos, January l0-Tbe steamer Palmet-

did reach her wharf until 10 O'Clock last night
after detention Of several hours for the tide TO
enable her to cross the bar.
The Palmetto encountered very rough weather
throughout the passage, but behaved admirably
a sea boat. The cause OF her delay, however, was
a accident TO the machinery on Sunday last, when
about 200 miles from Baltimore, which brought her
to sudden stop, requiring until Thursday night
to repair, during which time she drifted nearly 200
miles out of her course. Steam got up again
ton. all WELL at ten o'clock last night.
The Palmetto will be repaired and ready to re-
sumo her trips again in few days.

MAN AND WIFE.
A TALE.-BY ANNA MARIA sARGEANT,

"You wish to delay your decision un-
til you have had an opportunity Of fur
the- consulting your wife, presume 2"
This observation was addressed by a
house agent to young tradesman with
whom he had, for some time past, been
in treaty respecting the lease of shop.
"Consult my wife, |" repeated Brad.
shaw, in a tone indicative of surprise
and indignation. No; would never
consult woman upon matter Of busi-
ness"
"Oh, Il beg your pardon" hastily re-
joined the wary house agent secretly
rejoicing at having at length discovered
the weak side Of the man he was dealing
with but ] thought you might posi-
bly, like Mrs. Bradshaw to see the house
know the ladies like to have a voice in
such matters"
81 tell you don't ask her advice in
amy matter" the young man sharply re.
torted; land to prove to you, Mr.. Hutch.
ingson, that | don't boast of an inde.
pendence that | do not really possess,
Ill strike the bargain at once"
The house agent had previously tried
all the usual methods of drawing the
business to a close. He had assured
him that his rival draper. Mr. Dawkins
had been after it, and that several other
persons were eager to have it. These,
however, had failed Bradshaw still
had scruples regarding the prudence Of
the affair; for the rent and taxes were
exhorbitant, and the terms of the lease
far from favorable but no sooner was
it limited that he was waiting for his
wife's consent. than Hntchingson's end,
as he had actually perceived would be
the case, was accomplished.
Now, it must not be inferred, from
the above related conversation, that Mr..
Peter Bradshaw was domestic tyrant ;
he was willing TO allow his wife all the
home comforts his means would afford,
and his manner towards her was not Of.
ten unkind; but then she must never
dare to express an opinion on any sub
ject-the preparation of the dishes for
his table, or the dress of his children ex-
cepted. We sometimes hear mention
made of individuals who have but two
ideas, and this is surely poor allow.
ance. Unhappily, Mr.. Bradshaw had
but one, and that one was-that it was
beneath the dignity Of man to take

wrong, they not unfrequently have re-
course to a fit of passion, as the only
means of silencing the remonstrances Of
those who have most cause to complain;
and to this refuge Mr.. Bradshaw fled,
knowing that he had no arguments to
trust to. His wife being too gentle to
resist, and too wise for strife. suffered it
to have its vent without word Of re-.
tort. Thus it shortly subsided into a
calm.
Another month found the family SET
tied in their new abode, and the usual
methods Of advertising informed "Mr.
Bradshaw's friends and the public that
he had removed from No. 7 Church
street, 10 80 Market street, where he
hoped, by offering the best articles at a
very moderate price. to merit their con.
tinued patronage and support" but
Notwithstanding this announcement, the
expected influx Of customers did not
follow, at least in proportion to the ad.
ditional expenditure Of the shop.keep
ser, and his spirits consequently fell.
Martha, my DEAR" he one day said
addressing his wife a few weeks sub
sequent to the period at which the
change took place, 81 am convinced
that my want of success here is wholly
owing to the small capital Il have, so
have been thinking of taking partner
in my concern"
+" You must be cautious whom you
trust, my dear Peter" Mrs. Bradshaw
quietly remarked.
"Oh, have taken care to be on the
right side," her husband answered. 81
have made a bargain which cannot be
otherwise than for my benefit"
"Then you have already settled the
affair !" cried the wife in surprise. "
thought you implied that you had it on
ly in contemplation. Pray who may it
be that you have made this arrangement
with 2"
"With the son Of my fathers old
friend, Smithson. The old man is anx-
ious to associate his son with some
steady man of business, and is willing
to put a thousand pounds into the con.
cern, which will be an excellent thing to
stock my new shop, and will enable me
to extend my connection"
"a thousand pounds will, think,
be a poor recompense for. having a
young man of George Smithson's hab-
its as partner in your business" Mrs.
Bradshaw observed. "It is not often
that interfere in such matters" she
pursued; "but if you take my advice,
Peter, you will have nothing to do with
him."
"And why not, pray7" her HUSBAND
sharply asked. II have known the

the counsel Of woman. His notions
of the mental superiority of "the lords
of the creation" were so towering, that
he looked down upon his gentle spouse
with feelings bordering on contempt,
and consequently treated her as he
would an upper servant, whose Office it
was to administer to his domestic COM
fort. He on his part thought that he
was discharging his sole duty by finding
her the means to supply liberal table
and suitable apparel, and by treating
her with negative kindness.
"Well, Martha, I've taken that shop
in Market street," the husband exclaim-
ed on returning home; and as he spoke
he threw himself at full length (which,
to own the truth. did not far exceed FIVE
feet, Notwithstanding his exalted idea OF
himself,) upon the couch of his little
back parlor.
"What shop, my dear 2" Mrs. Brad.
shaw asked in surprise.
"Why, the new shop opposite the
market place. Didn't tell you Ithoughi
Of taking It Z"
"No, Peter; you once said that you
had looked at it, and asked the rent
but it appeared much too high for oul
means"
IL am going to try it at all events, u
the husband rejoined a little tartly, fol
he was not pleased with her vague allu.
sion to the imprudence of which his
conscience accused him of having been
guilty. "There is nothing to be done
nowadays without great show; and
think / have staid in this dull street
long enough"
"This shop has afforded US a com.
Portable maintenance for seven years,
my DEAR" the wife quietly observed.
"The change will be for your bene-
fit, Martha" Mr.. Bradshaw interposed
you will have the use of three or four
additional rooms, and large ones, in.
stead of these little pigeon-holes, so |
don't see that you will have any reason
to complain"
IL am not complaining, Peter" she
returned; II am only fearful that you
will find it difficult to meet the expen.
ses from your profits besides which,
we must, you know. have this house on
our hands three years longer"
IL shall easily find a tenant" he
carelessly replied; adding and have
taken the other for twenty-one years."
"Twenty-one years" exclaimed the
wife in astonishment and alarm but
seeing that the gathering storm was
about TO break, she dared not add
more.
When some persons have done that

father these twenty years: and his char
acter has always stood high for integ-
rity."
"That may be; but it does not fol-
low that the son will not bring you into
trouble. You know he has caused his
father a great deal of unhappiness by
his imprudence and extravagance and
it appears to me to be like rushing into
ruin with your eyes open to have any
thing to do with him."
"You are too severe upon the young
man, Martha" Mr.. Bradshaw interposed
with an infection of voice which indi-
Gated that his judgment was more than
half convinced by her argument. "He
has been little extravagant in his
youth but now he has sowed his wild
oats, his father hopes he. will settle
down into more steady habits"
ut is quite natural that the father
should hope SO; but not that you, my
dear Peter, should depend on such slen-
der foundations in matter which may
be SO very serious. My own observa-
ton, she added, "has led me to remark
that disobedlent, extravagant youth.
seldom makes steady, persevering
man."
"Oh, you always look on the dark
side of the picture. Martha; you are al
ways prognosticating evil. for my
part, like to hope the best" This
speech was accompanied with one or
two of those nervous movements which
often attend unsound arguments; but
Mrs. Bradshaw, who was really much
concerned at the new step of imprudence
her husband was about to take, thought
it right to be more than usually tena-
cious in maintaining her ground. All.
however, was vain. Pshaw-stuffW
muttered Mr.. Bradshaw. It was all he
could say, for he had not even lame
leg to stand upon.
Mr.. Peter Bradshaw's once small and
comparatively unpretending concern,
now assumed the more substantial ap-
ypellation of a firm, though it really had
less ground for so doing; and fresh pa-
cards and advertisements announced
that Messrs. Bradshaw & Smithson
would now be able to offer the public
goods Of superior quality, at a before
unheard.of price," But neither the
plate-glass, the putting, nor the partner,
had the desired effect Of enticing fresh
people to inspect the wares; and many
of those who had been regular custom.
ers at the late shop in Church Street,
discontinued dealing, thinking that, IN
order to make so much show, the arti-
cles must really be inferior. To aid to
Mr.. Bradshaw's distress, the house he
had before occupied did not let, nor did
