A Wedding.

The wedding was over, the guests had
departed, and the happy pair had retired
to their chamber, and were snugly es-
sconced in bed, when Jack, in the course
of quiet conversation with his wife. un-
Willingly alluded to his favorite subject,
by casually spe( hg Of himself as being
a democrat.
"What!' exclaimed she, turning
sharply and suddenly toward him, "are
you democrat p
"Yes, madam, replied Jack, delighted
with the idea of having patient listener
to his long restrained oratory--" Yes,
madam. | am democrat, real Jeffer-
sonian democrat, attached to the great
progressive party, regular out and out
er, doubly dyed and twisted in the wool. ;"
"Just double and twist yourself out
of this bed, them" interrupted his wife !;
/" | am whig, am, and will never sleep
with any man protesting the doctrine
you do p
Jack was speechless from absolute
amazement That the very wife of his
bosom should prove traitor, was horri-
bic! she must be jesting. He remon-
strated-but in vain tried persuasion
twas useless --entreaty-'twas no go.
She was in sober earnest, and the alter
native left him was prompt rennncia-
ton of his heresy or a separate bed in
another room. Jack didn't hesitate. To
abjure the great and established doctrines
of his party, to renounce bis allegiance
to the faith that had become identified
with his very being. to surrender those
glorious principles which had grown with
his growth and strengthened with his
strength, to the mere whim and caprice
Of woman, was utterly ridiculous and
absurd, and he threw himself from the
bed and prepared to leave the room.

AS he was leaving the door his wife

AS he was leaving the door his wife
screamed out to him. ~
Il say, my dear, when you repent youl
heresy and your past errors, just knocl
at my door, and perhaps I'll let you in. ;
The door was violently slammed, ant
Jack proceeded wrathfully in quest o.
another apartment.
A sense of insulted dignity, and the
firm conviction that be was a martyr in
the " right cause" strengthened his pride
and he resolved to hold out until he fore
ed his wife to recapitulation.
In the morning she met him as if moth
ing had happened; but whenever Jack
ventured to return the rapture of the
night previous, there was laughing
devi'' in her eye, which bespoke her pow
er and extinguished hope. A second time
he repaired to his lonely couch, and a
second time he called upon his pride to
support him in the struggle, which he
now found was getting desperate. He
ventured curses cloud but not long," on
the waywardness and caprice of the sex
in general, and at his own wife in partic-
ular-wondering how much longer she
would hold out-whether she suffered as
acutely as he did, and tried hard to de-
lude himself into the belief that she
loved him too much to prolong the en-
arrangement, and would come to him in
the neutrality-suspicious. that very night,
and sue for reconciliation. But then came
the recollection of that infexible counte-
nance, of that unbending will, and of that
laughing, unpitying eye--and he felt con-
yinced. that he was hoping against hope,
and despairing, he turned to the wall for
oblivion from the wretchedness of his
own thoughts. The second day was a
repetition of the first no allusion was
made to the forbidden subject on either
side. There was look of quiet happi-
ness and cheerfulness about the wife that
puzzled Jack sorely, and he felt that all
idea Of forcing her into surrender must
be abandoned. A third night he was
alone with bis thoughts. His reflections
were more serious and impassioned than
the night previous. What they were,
was known only to himself, but they
seemed to result in something decided,
ior, about midnight, three distinct raps
were made at his wife's door. No an
swer, and the signal was repeated in a
louder tone, still all was silent, and a
third time the door shook with violent at
tacks from the outside. "Whos there?"
cried the voice of his wife, as if just
aroused from deep sleep. "It's me,
my dear, and perhaps a little the best
whig You ever did see." The revelation
in his opinion was radical and permanent.
He removed to another county, became
popular, and offered himself as a candi-
date on the whig ticket for the legisla-
ture, and was elected, and for several
sessions represented his adopted county
as a firm and decided whig.

Pencilings of Character.

We often detect strong resemblances in
the outward features of individuals, never
eract Hkenesses though the difference be
but hairs breadth, still there is differ.
ence So it is with the mental features
There are no two characters in thesworld
the same; if in essential qualities they
resemble, in minor qualities they differ,
and rice cersa. AS in the countenanee,
one feature sometimes has the pre-emi-
nence above another--the eyes above the
mouth, the mouth above the nose some.
times, again, the expression is SO blended
that you neglect to observe the seperate
parts in contemplating the perfect whole
even so it is in character; each one has
its distinctive trait. In one, it is Gener-
osity in another Parsimony. Sometimes
Imagination predominates; sometimes
Reason. Again, you will find all the
qualities so sweetly attempered and nice
ly balanced, that you can only admire the
matchless symetry of the proportion
In general, however, you may always de-
tect some leading trait by which to inden-
tify in your own mind, the mental physi-
ognomy Of your acquaintance.
One of the most strongly marked char
acters / have ever seen, was character
lied by Prejudice-deep, bitter, unyield-
ing. DR.. johnson would have admired it,
for he said, j love a hater." Yet just
such characters, properly directed in the
exercise of their energies, are the levers
on which turns the worlds destiny. Un-
restrained, or misguided, in Religion they
are bigots in Politics, rabid in general
society, the arbitrary and disliked minor
ity.
Another character I should designate
by the phrase, Discontented Strike

way you would, it was sure to give forth a
murmuring sound. To meet her was to

say, What business have you in this es
tablishment 2" But when my companion
opened his coat and displayed diamond
breast-pin Of inordinate size, the face OF
the official blossomed with smiles, and he
conducted US to an excellent pew in the
central aisle.
My attention was first attracted by the
decorations of the walls and ceiling. The
principal colofs used in the work of adorn.
ment were light blue, bright yellow, and
deep red, each endeayoring to display it.

when combined with all the other tints OF
the rainbow, shed through the stained
glass windows, was somewhat remarka-
BILE; and | observed that portly lady,
just behind me, had, as the result of a
play of light, green forehead, blue nose,
yellow lips, purple chin, orange hair, and
a patch of deep violet over the left eye.
Indeed, | had observed no such sterling
style of ornamentation anywhere else, ex-
cept in the brilliant restaurant of Mr..

Lybian lion, is the power of association
for such was the influence Of this paint
upon my imagination, that came near
asking the usher, who was promenading
the aisle, to bring me lamb stuffed with
pistachio nuts, and a vase of iced shey-
bet.
The service commenced presently, by
reading on the part of a person who oc-
cupied a.room in the rear of the building,
and responses from portion of the con-
gregation. The reader pitched his voice
so that it seemed to issue from his toes,
and you may judge, therefore, that his
intonations were hardly natural (since he
did not stand on his head,) but as it was
his Office to deal with the supernatural,
it may be presumed that such sepulchral
utterances were appropriate to the occa-
sion.
Next came song of praise by four
persons in the organ loft. How beauti-
fally theys warbled! l was carried
straight back to the opera, with its pride
and pomp of scenic illusion, Intoxicating
sounds, brilliant eyes, dazzling toilets,
immaculate kids. The soprano led off
with splendid staccato passage, in which
the high notes danced and capered like
lambs on hillside.
Then she ceased, and the tenor took
up her strain, and prolonged it with clear
trumpet tones then he stopped, and the
contlalto sung a few sweet notes; and,
lastly, the basso added his voice to the
others, and.the whole party commenced
a terrific struggle for the supremacy in
the final fugue. The contest was excl
ting, and the result doubtful for few
moments, but at last the soprano was
ending with a tremendous trill,
which entirely silenced her antagonists.
lifted my hands to applaud, but was
checked by my friend, who informed me,
that, however delighted / might be with
the performances, l must not express my
qualification in the same way that would
at the Academy Of Music. Though this
distinction seemed to be rather nicely
drawn, /, of course, yielded to the sug-
gestions of his experience.

MISCELLANY. .
A Duel---Strictly in Accordance
with the Code of Honor.

A young member of family rendered
illustrious by their virtues in a neighbor-
ing State, has vigorous manhood, sur
rounded by loving friends and panoplied
by the virtues and graces that high cul-
ture and the influences that home impart
to character, becomes atlianced to the
woman of his choice. Their hearts beat
in unison. Their hopes and aspirations
are henceforth tinged with like hues from
the glowing portals Of the golden future.
His prospects, hopes, ambition, will,
strength are. hers, and to him they are
sanctifed because she shares and sympa-
thizes with them. The mans life has been
blessed by the prospective addition of a
new personality to his previously barren
life-which is thereby yivifsd, enlarged
and exalted, without the sense of per-
sonal responsibility being in the slightest
degree impaired.
The congratulations Of mutual friends
have been received, as well as the bless
ings of the poor and feeble. who have en-
joyed their benefactipns, and rejoice in
their joy. The wedding troussedu of the
bride has been furnished in a style COM
mensurate with the wealth and high So
cial standing of the parties. The happi-.
ness of the young people spreads conta-
geously among their friends and neigh
bors. A wide circle shares, by kindly
anticipation, the stores of well deserved
happiness which the future has garnered
up for them. The memory of good deeds
done, and gentle words, fitly spoken, has
blossomed into a rich harvest of earnest
wishes for their future veal. The prom
ised day approaches. What more could
human hearts desirel Not cloud dark
ems their horizon. .
At an evening party, ball, or casual
visit, where their presence is hailed with
unmixed delight by all who should be
present, the demon of envy, malice or
unkindness, stealthily creeps in. and
crouches, like beast Of prey, awaiting
the fit moment to spring. 1t arrives
A slight--an insult--the bending of
brow with unkindly or unmanly seeming
upon the destined bride becomes cloud
no bigger than mans hand, that may
gather to fierce tornado, and dash the
cherished fabric of their happiness TO
earth. It is retorted by an ominous
frown from him to whom she is hence
forth "all in all"
Next day, friends are called upon and
angry messages interchanged. Few
words are necessary, fer honor is a rigid
disciplinarian, and brooks not temporiz-
ing. Some secret whispers have passed
