A MODEL HUSBAND. Gov. Norris if we
may Judge by the testimony afforded by his
treatment of his wife IN his will. must have
truly been the .smodel husband" He was
not one of youl modern, skindints. who cat
off wife's inheritance if she happens TO
marry again-not hel Quite the contrary.
in his.will made a sllort time before his
death, after sottling upon his wife liberal
allowance, he says: And in case my wife
should marry. give her 5000 more per
annum, to defray increased expenditure
which may attend the connection.

TIae Dead wife.

In comparison with the loss of wife, all
other earthly bereavements are trifing.-
The wifel she who fills so large space in
the domestic heaven-she who is so busted,
so unwearied in laboring for the precious
ones around her-bitter, bitter is the tear
that falls on her cold clay! You stand be-
side her coffin and think Of the past. It
seems an amber-colored pathway, when the
sun shone upon beautiful flowers, or the
stars hung glittering overhead. Fain would
the soul inger there. No thorns are num-
bered above that sweet clay, save those
your hand may unwittingly have planted.
Her noble, tender heart lies open to your
Utmost sight. You think of her now as all
gentleness, all duty and purity. But she is
dead! The dear head that laid upon your
bosom rests in the still darkness, upon a
pillow of clay. The hands that have min
istered SO untiringly are folded, white and
cold, beneath the gloomy portal. The
heart, whose every beat measured an eter-
nifty of love, lies under your feet. The
flowers she bent over with smiles bend now
above her with tears, shaking the dew from
their petals, that the verdure around her
may be kept green and beautiful.
Many husband may read this in the
silence of broken home. There is no
white arm over your shoulder; no speaking
face to look up into the eye of love; no
trembling lips to murmur-"oh! it is so
sad"
The little one whose nest death has rifed
gazes in wonder at your solemn face, puts
up his tiny hand to stay the tears, and then
nestles back to its fathers breast, half con-
scious that the wing that sheltered il most
fondly is broken.
There is SO strange hush in every room!
No light foOtstep is passing round. No smile
to greet you al nightfal. And Ike old clock
ticks and strikes. and strikes and ticks!-it
was such music when she could hear It'll
Now it seems to knell only the hours through
which you watched the shadows of death
gathering upon her sweet face.

deathwarrant rang ovt-.sthere is no hope!p
Two! she lies placidly still--sometimes
smiling family, sometimes grieying a little,
for she is young TO tread the valley of the
shadow. Threel The babe has been bro't

THE w HTG.
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY II, 1853.

GEThe Spiritual Convention at Boston
ladjournal on the 3oth ultimo. The COM
munication from the spirit Of Thos. Jeffer-
son was very abusive. He predicted q new
form of government, u which priests. law
|yers and. doctors should not be tolerated.
The following closing proceedings we take
from the report in the Boston Journal.
Mr.. Hewett told a tale of remarkable
impersonation in Duxbury. A husband
having communications throA1gh medium
from his deceased wife, requested the spirit
to afford him an ocular demonstration of her
presence; whereupon the medium, through
the influence of the spirit, Immediately be-
came an exact fact smile of the dear de-
parted. This. Mr.. Hewett said was affirm
ed by at least adozen who saw il, and among
them three or four children ofthe deceased
Mr.. Spear said lie wasunder the direction
of council of ten spirits; who directed him
as to writing discourses, DC, and had one time
signed their names through him to doc
nment emanating spiritually. He himself
had never seen their hand writing until
afterwards, when onlcomparing this spiritual
document with their signatures as written
in the flesh they were found to correspond in
in every particular. This council is compos-
ed Of no less parsonage than Franklin La
Fayette, Jefferson, Rush. and their COM
peers. They had uttered prophecies eighty
times through him { Mr.. Spear.
Mr.. Sunderland said the spiritual answers
were as often wrong as right. He had asked
the spirits though two mediums inimmediate
succession in the same room such questions
as these. Do you believe in depravity?
Do you believe in endless punishment? Do
you believe Jesus Christ was born without
a natural father? Do you believe in the
eternal progression of man? BY one spirit
the first by the other all the answer was re-
versed. He believed he said. there were as
many DR.. Franklin spirits as their acre naeds-

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC RAILRoAp.-The
Washington correspondent of the NY.
Journal of Commerce, after referring to the
various projects which have been started for
the construction of railroad between the At
lantic States and our territory on the Pacific
coast, and the difficulties and objections con-
nected with them, goes on to say
But, fortunately, solution Of all the mani
fold difficulties with which this question is
surrounded, is found in the proposition which
lis about to be made to Congress by an
association of the enterprizing engineers,
capitalists, and Transfers of the State of
New York.
This ASSOCIATION will be prepared, next
week, 10 submit to Congress, in formal
manner, project which has already been
brought to the notice of many members, and
has been approved by them. for construc-
ting "A military and posi- road from the
valley Of the Mississippi, TO San Francisco,
in California, or other place on the Pacific
Ocean," The company consists of men Of
the most enterprising character, and the
greatest amount of practical information, and
the widest influence and credit and the larg-
est wealth, in New York. They are to be
chartered as Company by the New York
Legislature.
Several agents for the association have al
ready visited Washington and conferred with
members of both Houses, and have been in
yited to bring forward their project.
