On Monday of last week they left tho hotel, say
ing that they were going to Washington, inslead
Of which they went to q house on North street,
where the man had engaged to board for tsrn
During the lattar part of the last week another
party came on from New York and made apili-

to assist him in looking for his wife, whom lac
alledged had eloped with the husband of another
woman. The search was begun and clue TO
the whereabouts of the mnn and females wsg
obtained and il was discovered that they wonhl
tnke the nine o'clock train on SATURDAY for
Philadelphia. Accordingly the husband in
search of his wife, in company with the officer,
went TO the President street depot anil COM
menoed search through the cars. Atler passing
through one or two the husband espied his cara
sposd sitting snugly by the side Of him for whom
she had forsaken her home, husband and two
children. He approached to where the twain
were sitting, and tapping the man on the shoul-
der uttered two or three deep expeltiyes, and
then went to work in right good earnest with his
cane over the head aud shoulders Of the party
in company with his wife. Immediately an in
tense excitement was created about the depot,
and large crowd gathered to see what was
going on. During The afffuy al the parties eoa-
ccrned got out OF the oars, sBl when they reached
the platform the cane was again vigorously

the back and shoulders of the individual against
whom the charge of abduction was made They
then went quietly to the marshals Office, where
the husband stated that the young man an him
self had previously been partners in business,
and their families had been on intimate terms OF
| friendship that the sister who accompanied the
twain had persuaded the wife to the abandon
ment of her husband and children, as well as
him to the desertion Of his own wife and child.
The parties remained for some time at the office,
and after a conference between them it was de-
termined that all charges should be withdrawn,
and they would all return to New York together.
carriage was then called and they left for the
depot, to take the next train homeward. The
husband appeared to be about 35 years Of age,
while the wife and man VIII IN he sought appear
ed to be about "a. He remarked that for more
than week, in consequence Of the absence of
his wife, he had neither slept nor &artaken OF
food, more than sufficient to sustain him in his
search
noME-" Home is like love its chief value is
in its permanency. The wife is more apt to see
that trees are planted, vines trained around the
porch. grass plats weeded, the paling white
washed, the house kept in repair and order, the
children sent regularly to school, and the good
will and respect of the neighbors conciliated,
when she feels that she has a home for her little
flock that lies above all reverses OF her hus-
haud's fortunes. What a crashing terror it must
be to a sensitive woman to infer from each cloud
upon her husbands brow, that the lowest execu-
tive of the law may order her forth, with her
children, their school books, few cooking uten-
sis, and half dozen chairs, to live precarous
life in q high priced aud comfortess lodging
erected for tenants If we would have Il child
broueh up under the halowed influence OF home
affections and self respect, il should not know
the shock of being marched, with weeping mo-
thar, out of its home, bya constable. If we
voaid have our citizens high-minded and indie
pendent men, such as constitute State, such as
| will defend il better than high-rased wall or
labored mound, let them be happy in their homes
| imburd with local affections, permanent in their
affections, permanent in their residences let
| them feel that home has a limit, that the rapaei-
ty of the creditor must stop before the sanctity
Of Home, that the law will mot lay sAcrilegous
hands upon household goods. An Americana
home should be his castle.

TINS LAuaH AND SMILE OF WoMAs.--A woman
has not natural grace more bewtching than a
sweet laugh. Il Is like the sound Of flutes on
7 the water 1t leaps from her heart in a clear
sparkling ril, and the heart that hears it feels
, as il bathed in the cool, exhilarating spring.
And so of the smile. A beautiful smile is to the
: female countenance what the sunbeam is to the
, landscape. II embellshes an inferior face, and
redeems an ugly one. A smile, however, should
not become habitual, or insipi1iiy is theresult;
nor should the mouth break into nsulile OF one
side, the other remaining passive and unmoved
for this imparts an air Of deceit and grotesque-
, ness TO the face. A disagreehble smile distorts
the lines Of beauty, and is more repulsivc than a
E frown. There are many kinds Of smiles, each
, having distinctive character; some announce
goodness and sweetness. others betray sarcasm,
bitterness, and pride some soften the counter
ance by their languishing tenderness, other
brighten it by their brilliant Rnd spiritual viva
