Mr. Glmor, Of Va, introduced resolution
forthwith to eensure John Q Adams for this
his action.
Mr.. Medill voted with the Shareholders -
Mr. CLARK, Of New York. moved to lay the
resolution Of censure on the table This Of
course would have ended the affair The
Shareholder said: "No. 50 ruthless an assault
upon the Union must BE- met the member
making It punished" Forgetting ,heir,hrea's
they demanded that John Q. Adams should
suffer as a criminal for asserting the fullest
right Of petition.
In that demand Mr. Medill joined he voted
with the Shareholders to punish the noblest
man Of Massachusetts,, Mr.. Clark's moi-n

CHAPTER II.

Mrs. Gardner was entitled to all the credit
she claimed. She was really good manager.
Her husbsnd could not but acknowledge it, as
day by day he observed the tasteful and ele.
giant appearance of the table, and the perfect
neatness and propriety with which everything
was served
He had quite forgotten the conversation re-.
corded in our first chapter, and was only sur.
prsed that his table presented so good an ap-
pearance at what seemed to him so moderate a
cost He once proposed to increase the month
ly sum which he placed in his wife's hands,
but she declined, saying that she found it quite
sufficient.
But was the point gained really wIoth all the
trouble which it cost? inquiries a skeptical rea-
der. Ofcourse any one might live with grea-
ter economy if they would pass their time in the
kitchen.
This is not at all necessary. Mrs. Gardner
had plenty of time for her friends, her music
and her books. She didn't spend above hall
an hour daily in the kitchen, and then only
superintended the operation of the servants-
But this half hour was amply sufficient The
servants were satisfied that every act of waste.
funess or neglect on their part would be no.
ticed, and the Pre- lse of their mistress for this
short space of time operated as an elfrctual
check upon them.
But this wGs not all Mrs. Gardner re-
quired all the irsdesman, butchers bakers, DC,
who had anything to do with this department,
to send in their bills to her, and she personally
discharged them. In this way she knew there
was no imposition
All this took very little time Everything
was brought under complete system, and no
'clockwork could be better regulated.
From the description of Mrs. Gardner's
mode of managcm, n, which we have given
somewhat in detail because we think it really
good one, and deserving of being initiated,
we turn 10 different SC nee The curtain
falls, ana when it rises once more, the reader
will please to imagine that period Of five years
has slipped by-a period, by the by, which has
witnessed the introduction of two little stran-
gers into the household Of Charles and Marian

cal moral which ! am trying % elicit from this

Well then have a large bill to meet to-
morrow, and, from present appearances, shall
be utterly unable to discharge it. How much
that signifies to merchant, you know as well

And how much do you want to make up
the sum .
Three thousand dollars, 1t might as well
have been fifty for one is quite as difficult to
obtan as the other
Difficult is not always impossible said Mrs.
Gardener, as she glided out Of the room, and
shortly after returned with book, which she
placed IN the hands of her astonished husband.
What is all this 2 he exclaimed
Merely certificate showing that you have
at your disposal FIVE thousand dollars duly de-
posted in the Franklin Bank
five thousand dollars-mine-in the Frank
lin Bank? What do you mean Who de-
posted it p asked Charles bewildered
That you shall know speedily, said Marian,
who enjoyed her husbands confusion. DO
YOU remember a little conversation we had lust
after our marriage, about the support of our
table, IN which you gave me permission to save
as much as chose from your allowance, pro-
vided kept up our then style of living
Yes, ] recall it, but FIVE thousand dollars,
it is impossible that you have saved all that p
Not quite. You have placed in my hands
monthly the sum of two hundred dollars

sum- which in FIVE years will make

ting it remain idle have therefore regularly
deposited it in the Franklin Bank on interest,
and-you see the result. Own, Charles, that
am n prudent manager
you are my savior, dear Marian shall
use three thousand dollars of this sum to pro-
vide for present emergerces, but insist on re-
paying it. Andyou are at perfect liberty to
continue the work you have so well begun
After all, it isn't so bad an idea providing on
rainy day
But said Mrs. Gardner, smiling, Il thought
your motto was, Trouble be hanged, and the
sooner the better
Your savings retorted Charles. will make

Mr. Gardener retired in desponding frame

friends were as much pressed as he, and that
not one of them probably would be able to ad-
vance him the required sum.

whom he applied were very sorry indeed that
they were unable to help him, but it was quite

THE RIVER OF TEARS.



In the ghastly dusk Of cypres shade,
Ger the beaten sands Of a dismal glade,
The river oftears, with eeaseless flow,
Rolls its bitter waves ofhuman woe.
The herbless mountains that gird the vale
In an endless dawn, stand cold and pale;
And the llsircless clouds droop down so
low.
They touch the face fthe steam below.
No honeyed blossoms breathe balm around
In the funeral gloom that shrouds the
ground;
But dark, rank weedsreach greedily Ger,
To sip the surge on the level shore.
Wild shrieks Oft startle the dusky air,
And the smothered howl Of mad dispair-
While the pleading vail of loves last cry
Floats DER the waves to the leaden sky.
In aimless courses deep footprints 60,

As the sad procession, with clasped hands,
Went andering over The barren sands.
In the sullen shadows broodirg here,
Stalk pallid Sorrow and shivering Fear,
Fail Youth, bent Age, and the bad and
bold.
And the gentle and good whose lives grew
cold.
In hopeless anguish some hide their eyes,
And with pale, wan looks, some watch the
skies,
Some beat their bosoms with (renzied
stare,
And me feel round in the empty air.
Thus in mornful groups they come and
go
None tells to ano.her its weight Of woe;
And the swollent stream, meath the dusky
