The nci"t mornin we both felt fust rate. The Kernel keeps as good wiskev a.? I ever got enywiiere. | Wo have been very hard at work on the I messige, ami such a time as we have had of it you never did see. Stanton don't know ' how ineny sqjers he has got in (lie lield, | nor how meny have been killed or wound- ( i ed. Grandfather Welles can't tell how many 1 ' gunbotes he's got, an as for Chase, he don't j pur;end to even guess for a certainly, how ; many greenbacks there are aflote or how big ; the public debt is. The Kernel sed he couldn't even lay the fonndashin limber of his messige until he had some tiggers about the debt to begin on.' So I told hint 1 would go over an see Chase and have a talk with him. I ink my slate under my ann an started. Soon as I went in Chase Ink Ime by the hand an sed he was rate down: rite glad to see mc. I tolled hint what I ' wanted, an lie sed lie would soon have it reddy for me, but jest then he asked me to go up stairs an see the niaclieoncry an prin tin [ resses, and so on, tiiat he lied got to : moke money. He sed the worst of it was! | that the inaeaencs was constantly gettin i out of order, and he wanted to know if I j ! understood any thing about sick affairs. I I tcliud him there warnt nothing from squirrel j traps to clog churns and thrashing maciiecnes ; that I didn't know from stem to starn.—; j i hen he sed I was jest the chap he wanted. ■ y> 1 went with him, and 1 was perfectly. 1 thur> lerslruek when 1 saw all the riggtn. i , and iixins, and belts, and shafts, and pit!-1 ' leys and maelienes all arunuin and whizzin, and buzzin, r.s fast as lliey could go.

I, "what do you do about the contractors !"i 1 "Oh," ses lie, "I ain't showed you them | yet. That's in another room." Ses lie, ; , "come along with inc." So I fullered, and ; (we went oil into another room. It was, i nigh about ten times as big as the first one, '■ j and there were hundreds of pressesrunnin' j ias fast as they could go. "There," sc.; he, J "if these here inachcncs were to stop one ! ■ day, it would set all Wall street into a pan ic. Sometimes, when the belts give out or j j the bolts break, or the coal gits short, or. 1 paper don't git in in time, there is a good * j deal of troubil, but I've got it so fixnl now, j ' that I keep 'em putty well supplied." Scs i i 1, "Mr. Scckc'ary, who is your engineer?"'! ' "Wal," ses he, "lie's a good trusty man.Vj j "But," ses I, "suppose lie sliould bust your ■ bilers, what would Wall street do thou?"! j "Wal," ses lie, "I never thought of that, j I but I giics3there, ain't cny danger." "Wal," j I ses I, "steam is mighty onsartin. Old ; 1 Aunt Keziali Wigglcton up in Maine, used to say that (he only safe way to run a steam boat was to take the bilers out, and my o pinion is, that a government run by steam ! will busi up one of these days." Chase didn't i seem to like this last rem irk much, but he ' i didn't say enything. We cum down stairs i putty soon after, and a feller with a brown 1 limn coat on, nigh about all over ink, brought | a hull lot of papers covered over with tig- j gor.s, and scd that Mr. Linkin could find out all he wanted to from them. 1 looked f 'cm over, but I couldn't make hed nor tad to them. "Wal," ses I, "perhaps a chap who understands dubblc and twisted entry bookkeepin' can ondcrstand this ere figger ing, but I'll be hanged if I kin."

We then both sot down and went to study in the figgcrs. I citcrcd wltii my siate, and tiie Kernel made chalZ' mt on his hat every time we got up to • a million of dollars.

I sec it was no use, that the Kernel was nigh about starZunad, an so I said to him, ses I, "let's put up this vorZ' to-night, an go to lied." He didn't want ; to, but I dragged him off, an lie Zrept ravin' all the time, "That nigger has ruined me! There lie comes—lie is after mo yet!" ; As soon as 1 got the Kernel in bed, I put a double set of mustard plasters on his feet, an then gave him a strong dose of my old : remedy, cider bar/: tea. //new that would cure him, if anything on arth. l'urty soon the sweat began io start, an the gripin in ill? bowels began. Jest as soon as tiiis too/' place, it drawed all the disease opt of hi i head, an th° next mornin he was as bright as new dimes used to be when there wassieli tilings. The fust thing the Kernel sed to me in the mornin was, ses lie, "Major / lied an j awful dream last nite." Ses /, "What • WAS it?" Wal," sc.s he, "/dreamt that the niggir hi 1 destroyed the Union."' "Wai," ses /, "Kernel, you git nearer the truth in j your dream? than you ginerally do when you nvc wide awn/re. If you will only have 1 another dream, you will see that the Abo i lisliiuists liave Z'illed the Union, and that ; the poor nigger is only the means that they j have used to do it." ; The Kernel didn't say notliin, but 100 Zed •, down on 1 100 floor .en whistled. Finally he : tuZ' out of his pecZ.'ct one of Chase's new j ! fifty cent shinplasters', an scs he, "Major, ' Z'in you tell mc why this new currency has ' I the odor of nashinality about it?" "No," scs/, "Kernel, /don't 3ee it."

Yourn till detli, MAJEII JACK DOWNISO. ROMANTIC STORY." Upwards of BO years ago a marriage took place in this neighborhood (Liverpool,) die man ' and wife being in bumble circumstances. Af ter living together till after die birth of a child, the husband went to Australia to seek his for tune. Hi.-wife nev r heard from him after he j left her, and supposing lie was dead, on the lapse of seven years she married a widower wk ii 'hree children. To this number in her second mar ricd life she added five, making her whole fam ily, including the child by her first husband, j ilia'.: in nil. Some time since the second bus- j band died, and she was left to struggle with her ' large family. To her great surprise, at the he- ! ginning of the present year her first husband f made his appearance at Liverpool. During his ; thirty years' absence he had prospered in Aus tralia, and was a large, land proprietor there.— lie had heard of iiis wife's second marriage but as the fault was his he never thought of return ing to England until he heard of tlia death of t!io second husband. To make amends fur his i former neglect of his wife—n it withstanding her | second marriage she was still his wile—lie be- j hnved in the most handsome manner to all her | children, gavo them costly outfits, has taken them and the wife of his early affections out i with him to tin land of his adoption. ThoJ wife, who lias thus, after an absence of more i 1 than ilj years, been restored to her position, is now about 70 years of age,— Licitjiool ALjtcu " t WHOLE ff UJIBEH, 30*6 VOL. 7, NO 19. THE DEAD WIFE. Yes the wife you loved so found ly, cherished iso tenderly is dead. She iies in the shady room | she loved so well; but she heeds not now where i they place her. You go in and look on the | culm and sweet face—marble like in its repose i —no smile beams there on your approach. The ) warm blood mounts no longer to the soft cheek, j You pre.-s your lips wildly to hers, that for the j first time give bask no answering pressure.— | You take the little pale hand in yours, but the 1 slender lingers clasp around yours no longer. I Y nt breatl.o the name that lias ever ben the I dearest to you in the wide world, but she hears | your voice 110 more ; siie is DK.VD ! They robe j Iter in n snowy shroud and lay her iu a narrow I coffin. Oil! cin you live while she is 'prisoned j there, you wildly ask. The minister of God j says u lew solemn words—weeping friends gath -1 er round to take a last farewell, and when tuni i ed away you stand by her but for Hie last time, j Can it be you must part with her forever; that | you look for :he last time 011 that dear face, — l press the last kiss to her cold lips; but no tears | come to your relief, and friends draw you away j but you watch the undertaker as he "folds the I muslin over (hat face, and turns the coffin lid ' closely down. You feel as if you would wulfo j catc. He dues not heed, but puts the screws j in quickly, lightly and you follow lur to the grave j that yawns to receive the form clasped so many I times to your heart. You see them lower her in, an.! hear the clods With a dull hollow sound j up on her colllu. Oh! methinks there is no. sounu on earth that brings such feelings to the j heart, nJ '' lC fuund of earth asit falls, covering the fon.ns of those we love. A'ou seek your ' darkened hum?, but no white arms are clasped j round your neck ; no sweet voice bids you we!- j coins; 110 blue eyes look into yours speaking the 1 love the lips do not always utter. Here is where she used to sit close liy your side ; here the book-rttlie read : there Iter piano ' stands open with your favorite song spread out; | but she will sit by your aid.', read tor you, play | for you, no more forever. You stand by the j window and look out in the garden; the dowers siie planted are blossoming us brightly as if her hand had trained them up this very morning, but 01T beyond tbo garden you Mc the quaint church spire, and there, close ly, .she slumbers. You turn away and sit down with nil t.iis ago ny at your heart, and memory takes you back (o the long ago, to the lirst hour of your ac quaintance with her, and you fuel you loved her, then and love her now better than you can love } any one on earth. And you are right; she will j ever be ip.ircst and dearest. You remember j talking with her long ago of death, and of her j saving she would wish to go first, for she could I never part with you 011 earth and live, and she J 1 has gone first; but can YOU live without HER? You read the letters sin; penned to you in your ab?i nee—yon look on a tre-8 of sunnv Imirset erod after death, with a grief at your heart which will not be hushed. Ycurs pass on, and another may brighten your home, hut as you listen to her merry words and joyous laugh, when flic dark eyes look in your own, when her han.l is warmly closed in yours, the memory of the early loved and lost will sweep over your own heart until you for get. the loving oir hy your side, Sometimes you see a face or (onn that resembles hers, or hear a voice low an I soft as hers used to be and you find the young heart nu tillering in the grave i> as dear to you as ever, though another fills Iter place hy your side. and you thought lor u time von had given her up. Hut no, she comes often to you as you sit by your cheerful li.-esiJei you feed ihc arms circling round your neck, the soft lips pressed to your brow ; see tlie eyes so mild and loving, looking down through yours into your soul; you hear the low tones telling you again how dear you are, but you start up nervously and look around on those gathered about you, trying to shake off tl|C illusion as you remember how long she has been sleeping. Alt, the first true love of the heart never will, nev er can die cut. It may he silent for a time, but it will rise up like a ghost to haunt the hours that might otherwise he lmppy. Tito heart, thank (Jod, is locked away from all human eyes. The Party of Purity. A nc,w revolution hits just come tn light Thp party that Mole more in flic first year of tlioir reign, than was expended during the whole of Mr. Buchanan's Administration, seem to be keeping tip their reputation. The city has been full of strange rumors for a few days past, in relation to Mr. Deputy Collector Henry !>• j Stanton, one of the attaches of the Tribune.— Mr. Stanton is well known as a prominent ; Abolition politician, and a Deoiity Collcctorship j was created especially for him. The duties np : pertaining to it were the business of shipping ! goods to Matainnrns and ports in the southern 1 States. Of course, it was necessary to have a j "very loyal" man in this position, or else the , "rebels" might lie greatly benefited thereby.— ! The Sunday At/a* says:— "Persons who wish to ship merchandize .South ] i are obliged to give heavy bonds that the goods shall not run the blockade, ami that they are not intended to lie sold in any manner to the rebels. It was Mr. Si anion's business to cx- Hi.iine the sureties, accept the bonds when nrop crly executed, and cancel them when sufficient evidence was produced that I ho goods had reached ■ their legal destination. It seems that Mr. Stanton has been suspend ed or .removed, the Solicitor of the Treasury having come on to make nn investigation. The charges against Mr. Stanton, it is said, relate to the cancelling of the bonds abovo referred to. l.coently some of thrso bonds have been abstract ed. Mr. Stanton's friends declare that it was dure by a e'erk in l.ho Costcm-Houae. At all events, it nppi ars they are gone. Whether the matter is to tie fully investigated, jr hushed up, like other affairs, under this "n d. 1 Adminis tration," rem una to ha seen. Mr. Stanton is a model ot" n "loyalist," and ought to he sustain ed, it any uie.—A". Y. Jjaybuok. ttatfs of SUirtrttsing. One Square, three week*or leer. ......

HOW LEFORT COT HIS WIFE. Lefort was a man some forly years old, with an iucome of fifteen thousand francs, fond of pictures, and painting landscape* himself in a very remarkable manner. lie lived in Rucdc Province, in an apartment in the third story, where he was often visited by his friend Decamps, the distinguished painter who lias recently died | in Paris, who was very fond of Lofort and of sitting to talk in his rooms. They passed long evenings in chatting and smoking together be fore nit open window which overlooked the vast gardens of the Hotel Lafitte and the Hotel Rothschild. One day, Lefort arrived at the cafe with a long line and an air of great dissatisfaction.— "What is the matter?" said Decamps. "The matter is, that I am wretched at hav ing to move from our apartment." "Are you going to leave it Yes, my landlord wanted to raise my rent I resisted—he insisted. I grew angry and gave up the rooms. lam wretched now. You were so fond of those rooms." I "Ah well, take hack your lease*" "You are light, I will take it back." The next day Lefort had stiil the long face and the grieved air of the previous day. Ho had wished to resume his lease but it wus 100 late. The apartment was let for a term of nine years. Lefort must move ly the Inst of October.— His landlord informed him, however, in an o bliging manner, that the person who was to succeed him would not arrive from the country till the middle of November, and that lie had ail that time to seek an apartment to suit him ; only Lefort must leave empty ft part of the suit of rooms to store the furniture of his successor. Lefort consented to this joyful, and the furni ture of the new tenant was brought in. Mean time Decamps, who saw him still so sorrowful at having to quit his rooms, said to him one day: "There is, perhaps, some way to arrange with years new successor." "I do not know him, aud don't wish to trjr to make a bargain." '•Show me his furniture," paid Decamps and I can guess what sort of a man he is.' Lefort conducted Decamps into the room where the furniture of the new tenant was placed. "Hum, hum," said Decamps, on casting his eyes over the articles, all this is -implc, comfor table, in good taste—furniture for an income of twenty thou sand francs, lately removed.— It is the right sort of u man, or rather it is a woman ; here is a woman's furniture—this toil et, this wash table, this book stand of inlaid work.' "But the husband?' 1 "I don't sec any husband in the matter, no niasculiuc furniture, a single bed, no bureau ; we only want to know if she is a widow, a young girl, or nn old maid." "How shall We find out that?" He opened the toilette table. There was a shell comb, to which was attached two magnlf* icent hairs of golden blond. "Good! tliis hair does not belong to an old woman s let us look farther.'' He perceived a portrait turned against the wall.—lie turned the ennvass. It was the portrait of a woman —blond, v ery pretty, painted in 18'23 by Hor scnt. It is the portrait of the lady." said Decamps. "It is the portrait of a married woman: the dress indicates it. This woman WHS nlwut twenty when it was painted.—She must ho still very pretty. She is an intelligent woman—lov* in" art, F judge, by the selection of books in this library, bv tbo music on the piano. My friend, you will not quit your apartment." "I must nsk tliis lady to give it up to me, then." "Xo, you must ask her to share it with you; yon must marry her." "You are inad; you arc laughing at me." "I speak very seriously. Your furniture seems made to go with that of the lady. The suite of rooms is too large for one of you alone : it is exactly what is wanted for you two." "But I don't wish to marry." "You are wrong. You are forty years old j this lady suits you in every respect. —She pleas es me. this woman, and I wish you to marry her. Let mo manage." Lefort gave him leave. When the lady cart® from the country, she was surprised to find tier rooms occupied nnd her furniture doubled.-* Decamps awaited her.. Ho showed the lady tho rooms arranged hv himself, and tho portrait of Lefort linng oppsite Iter own. < Soe, madam," said be, "what wonderful harmony between tho°c nrticlea of furniture.—• See how well the portrait matches your own.— It is certainly the portrait of the man who should bo your husband." The liuly was sensible nnd kind. Bho was not angry, nnd laughed heartily: and as be was a sensible man, diatinqu, a very good fellow* with n suitable fortune, he was accepted.' He married tho widow nnd did not leave the rooms. He never left them till last year, at the death of his wife, whom he adored and whom he ren dered hnppv till the last moment Deehin| s re maincd their friend, and both, whenever tliey saw him, thanked him for having mod*-the war, via go of their furniture.
