nothing to him now. If she remonstra-
ted against his going out; he cared
not for it. No show Of interest in
him-no exhibition of the pleasure she
took in pleasing him-no evidence oftbe
pain his disregard of her happiness
gave her, had any effect on him. He
seemed to consider that she, unloved and
uncared for, must just as insiduOusly look
after his domestic comforts, as when he
made her happiness his chiefest study.
What wonder, then, that she, thus treat
ed, grew apparently Indifferent toward
him. When he came TO breakfast, it was
either late or cold; when he hurriad home
with sharpened appetite to dinner, it was
either not ready or only partially cooked;
so with all his meals, and all those COM
forts he considered it should be the single
end and aim of wife to provide.
In this strait, Mr.. Oldfint thought of
management" of Mr.. Busters mode of
operating; but, somehow or other, he stood
in awe of his wife. He had never passed
an angry word with her; and lately she
had treated him with indiference-with
calm dignity-as uumoyed by his mis-
haps and discomforts, as if he were the
last person she could take interest in.
Mrs. Oldfint was what might be called
a smart woman. She was affable, and
courteous, aud dignifed as queen. She
was Of an equanimablc temper-nothing
rufled her. She was affeotionate, knew
well the likings and dislikings of her hus-
band, and took pleasure in consulting
them. She was also proud, and fully as
capable of managing" as her lord, though
in a different way. She knew that what
Oldhint had been the first year Of their
marriage-a good husband-he might a
gain be managed" to become. In short
SO we'll did she know Mr.. Oldhint-his
weakness-that she had resolved that it
was necessary for his and her happiness
that she should don the "pants" and she
had too much sense to wear them other
wise than lightly. Tomake him conscious Of
the extent his happiness depended on her,
was she now endeavoring to increase his
unhappincss. She was determined to
force him into an explanation or change
of conduct, and then take the reins into
her own hands. 1t was on this ground
she changed her tactics.

CHAPTER II.

In the afternoon of the following day,
Mr.. Oldfint sat alone in his Office. He
had spent the proceeding night endeavor-
ing to decide whether or not he should
marry; SO through the day, up to this
time, had his mind been burdened with
consideration of the all-important subject.
He could not, for moment, think ofany
other for that station, than Miss Matilda
Jane Collins. And with regard to her,
the only question was, whether he could
manage her or not, as Mr.. Bluster
termed it. His revolving doubts were
finally solved to that extent, that he wrote
a note to the lady offering her his heart
and hand. But he resolved not to dis
patch it until the following morning.
He found much difficulty in getting up
note which pleased him. Before him,
on the writing desk at which he sal, t,were
Numerous sheets of paper written over
bearing evidence of this. Each was a
declaration to the lady in question-thus
much having been written ere he could
word one which came up to his wishes
That which he ultimately fixed upon, ran
thus:
Il fatter myself that you will not be
surprised at the declaration | am about
to make. For years | had watched the
Development of your beauty, admired
your many superior accomplishments, and
above all, with most pleasing emotions
observed the daily evidences of the noble
heart you possess. And the more | baVe
seen of you, the greater has my love
grown for you. But L never dared TIL
now to dream that such a lovely and ac
complished being could be destined toI
me. Yet know my love for you to be
as great as men can entertain for woman

Singular and Extensive Claim.

We understand that during the last
week writs in ejectment were served on
large number of our citizens resident and
owning property in the western part of
the city, at the suit of parties claiming
property to the amount Of several million
of dollars. The claim, as we understood
it, is made to embrace number ST blocks
or solid squares, in the city, upon which
are erected some of the finest and most
costly buildings within it. The square
from Tenth to Eleventh and from Walnut
to Chesnut streets, including the assembly
buildings; that from Seventeenth to Eigh-
teenth and from Chestnut to Walnut street,
embracing the most costly block which Is
solute right to convey, and that there
fore the right of possession or title in this
to be found on entire length of Walnut st.
and that from nineteenth to Twentieth
and from Chestnut to Walnut streets, which
takes in the splendid palace of madame
Rush, constitute, as we learn, the blocks
claimed in the southern section of the ci-
ty proper. It's also understood that cor
responding blocks north of these, within
the city limits, are claimed by the same
parties, with various properties IN other
parts of the county.
The parties claiming as plaintiffs in the
writ are VIM. L. Bostwick, James b.
Bostwick, VIM. and Francis Mary Hal
stead, David and Margaretta q. Moore,
Theodore Glentworth, and some twenty
others, as heirs of the original proprietor.
1t is said the parties claim as the heirs
of a person named Budden, who is said
to have received title under Wm. Penn,
and who died something more than a GEN.
tury since, leaving a widow as executrix.
The widow, it appears, according to the
allegations, had no power given her to
sell any part of the estate of the deceas-
ed, and therefore made leases for ninety
nine years, the longest time permitted by
| the law. These have now expired, and
the heirs claim that no conveyance has eV-
er been made by any party having an ao :
vast amount Of property IS IN them, ana
not in the parties who hold it. What IS
likely to be the result of the matter 1t IS
of course difficult to determine.
We have frequently heard of wholesale
claims of this character before-indeed
there are, perhaps, but few properties in the
city which have not at some time or other,
been the subject of litigation of a simi-
lar character, and whilst the results OF a
trial are for the most part postponed to
an indefinite period, they serve perhaps
only to bring doubt upon the titles OF
property heretofore considered OF an un-
disputable character, subjecting the hold
er to world of needless aud yexatious
annoyance.
| The proceedings in question have given
rise to a very considerable excitement in
the neighborhoods Effected by them, as
sterotyped writs have been served in a
| wholesale manner.-Daiy Macs

CHHPTER VI.


Poor Mrs. Bluster! Often the unfor-
tunate lady asked herself for what end
fate had linked her to brute. She was
highly esteemed by her acquaintance
an honored member of Christian com
muuity-and ever open to the appeals OF
charity. Her husband was not scoun-
drel in the eyes of the world. The poll
tician sought his infuence-the Church
his aid He was rcckoned useful mem
Der of society; yet to one great end OF
existence, contributing to others, happl-
ness, he proved as recreant as the Grim
inal who fills felon's cell, or swings from
the gallows. He had destroyed her hap
piness, her interest in the world, by his
management" He went to all extents
crossing her happiness. He scofed at
her religion, reviled her best friends, out
ragged her purest sentiments, and thwart-
ed her in the training of her children
To hate him was natural; but what could
she, poor weak woman, do agaiast such
a pillar of society!
At length disease came, and prostrated
Bluster on the sick-bed. The physicians
skill availed him not Gradually he sank
until hope of his recovery failed. Then
the minister was called in, and he sought
to reconcile his soul with God.
Now the poor lady might have indul-
ged revengful feelings, for her mighty ty-
rant was laid low. But, no. The ap-
proach of death made him confess the er-
rors of the past, and seek the forgiveness
ofthe injured women. Then she blotted
her misery from existence-her long
years of despair-and constantly and un-
weariedly sought to relieve his sufferings.
Finally, he did the only good thing he
ever did for her-he died.
No wife ever regretted her departed
lord more than Mrs Bluster. The delu-
ded woman thought that if he had reeov-
cred, he would have proved the kindest
and best of husbands.
Death proved her best friend; she liv-
ed and died a happy widow; and, when
the last sad scene of earth closed upon
her, and put an end to her usefulness, the
pious exclaimed. a saint has gone to

A brief year of welded bliss passed o.
