I shall sleep to night. Whatl You're glad of it? That's like your sneering; I know what you meaii, of course; I never can think .of making myself comfortable, but you wound my foelingH. If you cared for your own bed like, any other man, you'd not havo staid out till this hour. Don't eay that 1 drove you out of the house as soon as we came in it. 1 only just spoke about the dirt and dust, but the fact is, vou'd be happy in a pig-sty ! I thought I could have trusted that Mrs. Closej cg with untold gold; and did you only see the hearth-rug f When we left home there was a tiger in it: I should like to know who could make out the tiger now ? Oh, it's very well for you to swear at the tiger, but swearing won't revive the rug again. Else you might swear. "You could go out and make yourself comfortable at your club. You little know how many windows are broken. How many do you think ? No; I sha'n't tell you to morrow you shall know now. I'm sure t Talking about getting health at Margate ! All my health went away directly I went into the kitchen. There's dear mother's China bowl cracked in two places. I could have sat down and cried when I saw it: a bowl I can recollect when I was a child. Kli should have locked it up then ? Y'es; that's your feeling for anything of mine. I only wish it had been your punch-bowl; but, thank goodness 1 I think that's chipped. " Well, you haven't answered alxnit the windows you can't guess how many. You don't care ? Well, if anybody caught cold but you, it would be little matter. Six windows clean out and three cracked I You can't help itf I should like to know where the money's to come from to mend 'era I ( They Bha'n't be mended, that's all 1 Then 'you'll aee how respectable the house will look. Hut I know very well what you think. Yes; you're glad of it. You think that this will keep me at home but I'll never stir out again. Then you can go to the sea side by yourself; then, perhaps, you can le happy with Miss Prettyman ! Now, Cau dle, if you knock the pillow with your list in that way, I'll get up. It's very odd that I can't mention that person's name but yo'u begin to fight the bolster, and do I know liot what. There must be something in it, or you wouldn't kick about so. A guilty con science needs no but you know what I moan. "She wasn't coming to town for a week; and then, of a sudden, she'd had a letter. I dare say she had. And then, as she said, it would be company for her to come with us. Ko doubt. She thought I should be ill again, and down in the cabin; but with all her art, ehe does not know the depth of mo quite.

Yes, you can be very tender, I dare say like all of your sexf to" suit your own ends; but I can't go to sleep with my head full of the Louse. The fender in the parlor will never ' come to itself again. I haven't counted the knives yet, but I've made up my mind that half of 'em are lost. No: I don't always think the worst; no, and I don't make myself un happy before the time; but, of course, that's my thanks for caring about your property. If there ar'n't spiders in the curtains as big as nutmegs, I'm a wicked creature. Not a broom has the whole place seen since I've been away. But as soon as I Ret up, won't I rummage the house out, that's all. I hadn't the heart to look at my pickles; but for all I left the door locked, I'm sure the jars have heen moved. Y'es; you can swear at pickles when you're in bed; but nobody makes more noise about 'cm when you want 'em. " I only hope they've been to the wine cel lar : then you may know what my feelings are. That poor cat, too What? Yon hate cats? Yes, poor thing', because she's my favorite that's it. It that cat could ouly speak What? It isn't necessary? I don't know what you mean, Mr. Caudle : but if that cat could only sp-ak, she'd tell me how she's been cheated. Poor thing ! I know where the money's gone to that 1 left for her milk I know. "Why, what have you got there, Mr. Caudle ? A book ? What I ' you ar'n't allowul to sleep you'll rea l.' Well, now it is come to something! If that insulting a wife to bring a book to bed, I don't know what wedlock is. But you sha'n't read, Caudle ; no you sha'n't ; not while I've strength to get up and put out a uanuic. "And that is like your feelings I iou can think a great deal of trumpery books ; yes, you can't think too mnch of the Rtutf that's put in print ; but for what's real and true about you, wny you've tun neari oi a 6ione I should like to' know what that book's about What? Milton's 'Paradise fast?' I thought some rubbish of the sort something to insult me. A nice book, I think, to read in bed; and a very respectable person he was who wrote it. What do 1 know of' him? Much more than you think. A very pretty fellow, indeed, with his six wives. What? lie hadn't six he'd otilii three ? That's nothinsr to do with it ; but of course you'll take his part. Poor women 1 A nice time they had with him, 1 dare say I And I've do doubt, Mr. Caudle, you'd like to follow Mr. Milton's example : else you wouldn't ' read the stuff he wrote. But you don't use me as he treated the poor souls who married him. Poets, indeed 1 I'd make a law against any of 'em having wives except upon paper ; for goodness help the dear creatures tied to them! Like innocent moths lured by a can dle ! Talking of candles, you don't know that the lamp in the passage is split to bits ! I pay vou don't do you hear me, Mr. Caudle ? Won't you answer ? Do you know where you are? What?

It's the confinement ; it's the bad ftir you breathe; it's the smoke of London. Oh yes, I know your old excuse; you never found the air bad before. Perhaps not. But as people grow older, and get on in trade and, after all, we've nothing to complain of, Caudle London nir always disagrees with 'em. Delicate health conies with money: I'm sure of it. What a color you had once, when you'd hardly a sixpence; and now, look at you ! " "J'would add thirty years to your life and think w hat a blessing that would be to me; not that I shall live a tenth part of the time thirty years, if you'd take a nioe little house somewhere at Brixton. You hate llrix tont I must say it, Caudle, that's so liko you: any place that's really genteel, you can't abide. Now, Brixton and Balaam Hill I think delightful. So select ! There, nobody visits nobody, unless they're somebody. To say nothing of the delightful pews that make the churches so respectable ! "However, do as you like. If you won't go to Buxton, what do you say to Claphaui Common?. Oh, that's a very fine story! Never tell met No; you wouldn't bo left alone, a Kobinson Crusoe with wife and chil dren, because you're in the retail way What ! The retired wholesale never visit the retired retails at Clapliaml Ha! that's only your old sneering at the world, Mr. Caudle; but I don't believe it. And after all, people should keep to their station, or what was this lite made for? Suppose a tallow-merchant does keep himself above a tallow-chandler I call it only a proper pride. What? You call it the avis toerarif of fat t I don't know what you mean by aristocracy; butl suppose it's only another of your dictionary words, that's hardly worth the finding out. "What do you say to Hornsey or Muswoll Hill ? lib ? Too high I What a man you are ! Well there Battersea? Too low! You're an aggravating creature, Caudle, you must own that ! llampstead, then ? 'Too cold ? Nonsense; it would brace you up like a drum, Caudle; and that's what you want. But you don't deserve anybody to think of your health or your comforts either. There's some pretty spots, I'm told, about Fulham. Now, Caudle, I won't have you say a word against Fulham. That must be a sweet place: dry, and healthy, and every comfort of life about it else is it likely that a bishop would live there ? Now, Caudle, none of your heathen principles I won't hear 'em. I think what satisfies a bishop ought to content you; but the politics you learn at the club are dreadful. To hear you talk of bishops well, I only hope nothing will happen to you, for the sake of the dear children ! "A nice little house and a garden ! I know it I was born for a garden 1 There's some thing about it makes one feel so innocent. My heart somehow always opens and shuts at roses. And then what nice currant wine we could make ! And again, get 'em as fresh as you will, there's no radishes like your own radishes ! Tho're ten times as sweet ! What ? And twenty times as dear ? Yes, there you go ! Anything that I fancy, you always bring up the expense. "No, Mr. Caudle, I should not be tired of it in a month. I tell you I was made for the country. But here you've kept me and much you've cared about my health here you've kept me in this filthy London, that I hardly know what grass is made of. Much you care for your wife and family to keep 'em here to be all smoked like bacon. I can see it it's stopping the children's growth; they'll all be dwarfs, and have their father to thank for it. If you'd the heart of a parent you couldn't look at their white faces. Dear little Dick ! he makes no breakfast. What? lie ate six slices this morning? A pretty father vou must be to count 'em. But that's nothing to what the dear child could do if, like other children, he'd a fair chance. "Ha ! and when we could be so comfortable ! But it's always the case, you never will be comfortable with me. How nice and fresh you'd come up to business every morning; and what pleasure it would be for me to put a tulip or a pink in your button-hole, just, as I may say, to ticket you from the country. "But then, Caudle, you never were like any other man ! But I know why you won't leave London. Yes, I know. Then, you think, you couldn't go to your filthy club that's it. Then you'd be obliged to be at Lome, like any other decent man. Whereas, you might, if you liked, enjoy yourself under your own apple-tree, and 1 in sure 1 should never say anything about your tobacco out of doors. My only wish is to make you happy, Caudle, and you won't let me do it. "You don't speak, love. Shall I look about a house to-moriow ? It will be a broken day with me, for I'm going out to have little pet's ears bored What? You won't have, her ears bored ! And why not, I should like to know ? It's a barbarous, savage, custom f O, Mr. Cnudle ! the sooner you go away from the world, and live in a cave, the better. You're getting not lit for Christian society. What next? My ears wero bored and What ? So are iours ? I know what you mean but that's nothing to do with it. My ears, I say, were bored, and so were dear mother's, and grandmother's before her; and I suppose there were no more savages in our family than in yours, Mr. Caudle ? Besides why should little pet's ears go naked any more than any of her sis ters' 1 They wear ear-rings: you never objected before. What? You've learned better now? Yes, that's all with your filthy politics again. Y'cu'd shake all the world up in a dice-box, if you'd your way: not that you care a pin about the world, ouly you'd like to get a better throw for yourself that's all. But little pet shall be bored, and don't think to prevent it. "I suppose she's to be married some day, as well as her sisters ? And who'Jl look at a girl without ear-rings, I should like to know ? If you knew anything of the world, you'd know what a nice diamond ear-ring will sometimes do when one can get it before this. But I know why you can't abide ear-rings now; Miss Prettyman doesn't wear cm; she would I've no doubt if she could only get 'em. Yes it's Miss Prettyman, who "There, Caudle, now be quiet, and I'll say say no more about pet's ears at present. We'll talk when you're reasonable. I don't want to put you out of temper, goodness knows ! And so, love, about the cottage ? What ? ' Twill be so far from business ? But it needn't be far, dearest. Quite a nice distance; so that on your late nights, you may always be at home, have your supper, get to bed, and all by eleven. Eh sweet one ?" "I don't know what I answered." savs Caudle, "but I know this; in less than a fort night I found myself in a sort of green bird cage of a house, which my wife gentle satirist insisted upon calling 'ihe Turtle-Dovery.

ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF CHOLERA. Possibility of Its lleromlng Naturallxed 1 u America. From the Chicago Republican. During the spring of 18(16 a conference of eminent European physicians was held at Con stantinople, under the express sanction of the Turkish Government, ani i f the Governments of all the great powers of Europe whose medi cal representatives took part in its delibera tions. Tho solo subject of discussion before this conference of physicians was tho possi bility of preventing the continued invasion! of Europe by that most fatal of all modern epi demics, Asiatic cholera. Three reports and an appendix have been published, giving the con clusions to which the conference has arrived, and thepe reports and appendix have in turn been reviewed at considerable length in the London Quarterly. As a matter of course, tho reviewer and the conference by no means always agree in their conclusions, though in the main they do not differ widely. Both are ngretsd that it was in India that the disease lirst made its appearance; that in India it has now become naturalized, and is epidemic in its character; and that from India it has started en those periodic westward marches which have at dili'erent times filled Europe and the New World with greater consternation than Any invading enemy, and in which its victims have outnumbered those of tho bloodiest battle-fields. The first notice wo have of the cholera is from the pen of (Jarcia del lluerto, a physician resident in the settlement of Goa, who, in a book publishod by him under tho name of Dorta, in 15G3, describes the cholera under the two namos of nmnleshin and of hacli aiza, tho former used by the Mahrattas and the latter by the Mahommedans. In l(if0, its existence in Goa was again chronicled by a Dutchman named Einschot ; and in 1(321) another Dutchman, named Bontias, gives an account of its ravages in Java. The cholera is mentioned also by various writers in 1U38 and 107(1 as a well-known Indian diseaee, generally fatal to those attacked by it, ami as lingering a long time round the places where it made its appearance. In 108!) the army of Aurungzefe was attacked by it with such vio lence that no one dare deem his life his own for a single hour; after which year we have no well-ascertained facts regarding it until its appearance in A root in 175t, although it is believed that in 1737 it was cholera which broke out with awful severity hi the army of Nadir Shah during his invasion of tho Decent. It raged in the neighbor hood of Arcot, with greater or less intensity, at dili'erent times, until 17S7, and seems even to have been conveyed across tho sea to the Isle of France in 1775 most likely from Surat or Goa, where we hear ot its annual ravages from 1775 to 17S0. How many persons died during these years from this disease we have no means of ascertaining, but it is said that during the year 17(i4 over 150,000 lives were destroyed by it in Northern India, or what is now the Presidency of Bengal ; while in 1783, in Lower Bengal, it is said to have broken out among the pilgrims assembled near Hurd var, where it carried off over 20,000 men in a few days. After this its violence appears to have somewhat abated, and we hear of it but occasionally during the following years, until in 1817 it set out on the progress which a few years later filled Europe and America with the dead. In 1817, it first appeared on the banks of the Ganges, at Calcutta, whence it has never since entirely disappeared. Neither the conference reports nor the re viewer follow its subsequent movements through Nepaul, Persia, Arabia, and Asia Minor, which it reached in 1823, from whence, n 182!!, it travelled to Southern Kussia ; m 8.30, made its appearance in Moscow ; in 1831, y rapid marches it had overrun the whole of 'entral Europe, and in October )f the same year, spread terror through England by its avages at Sunderland; while m June ot the following year it had crossed the Atlantic, and begun its work of death at Quebec. From the accounts we have of its progress prior to 1817, and the circumstances under which it ap peared, it seems that its main peculiarities lave always been the same. It has affected sea coasts and shipping: prevailed at particular seasons ; and though the mouths of tidal rivers and alluvial lands have been its favorite seats, it has shown that it can also spread and thrive on tho most different soils. These are tho conclusions of the reviewer, which certainly seem borne out by the facts; but the confe rence, in considering tho origin of cholera, conclude that "there are in India certain localities, especially in the valley of the luimres, where cholera is enoemic, although it is difficult to sny precisely which they are, or to alarm that they have the exclusive pnvi- Jetre ot Giving until to the disease. Cholera seems to be an original product of the valley of the Ganges; the cholera of the invading character which we have in our days, being necessarily the result ot new conditions which have produced themselves in India about lbl. we may conceive that those conditions are not indelible, and that if we could ascertain tho causes that keep up the disease in certain countries, we might succeed in making them disappear. Cholera being only of late years in a state ot permanence must be due to some new and special condition of those locali ties; its permanence; is not to be explained by successive transmissions, hut by some thing inherent in the places themselves." So lar as our knowledge extends, the reviewer set ins to have the best side of the argument when he states that neither in tho habits of the Hindoos, which have been exactly the same for ages, nor in the climatic conditions of the year JM7, is it possible to hnd any of the "new conditions" which gave to tho cholera of 1817 its "invading" character; and at pre sent it seems that our knowledge is altogether too limited to enable ns to lorm a decided opinion as to the cause of the periodic move meiits of cholera in recent times. Both conference and reviewer agree that the maximum prevalence of cholera is during hot weather; that it flourishes most in districts of which the alluvial and ter tiary, rather than the primary, are the prevailing geological tormatlons, and on low, rather than elevated sites. They pro nounce strongly in favor of the theory that the germs of cholera are present in the excretions, and that they are tho main channel through which it passes from man to man. The recom mendations of the conference, for diminishing the prevalence of the cholera in India, and preventing its exportation, are various. They embrace the drainage of the delta of the Ganges, the rigid enforcement of sanitary regu lations ami ng the masses of pilgrims gathered at Hindoo shrines, careful inspection of the Mahonimedan pilgrims taking ship from India for Mecca, the establishment of a quarantine station at the Straits of Babelmandeb, and a regular organization of boards of health and sanitary officers .along the towns of the Bed Sea, Ih order to prevent the cholera from reach ing Egypt by sa. They also propose that the Kussian officials on the three land routes from India to Southern Russia shall be in structed to tftke extra precautions to prevent tricts, passing along these routes." With re gard to tho prevention of the disease, the con lerenee insists most strongly on tho necessity of thoroughly disinfecting the excretions and clothes of cholera patients, giving the prefer ence as a disinfectant to sulphate of iron, or common copperas. They also strongly ro commend the adoption of hygienic measures; the removal of all noxious substances from human habitations, by cleanliness and good drainage; and also inculcate the necessity of avoiding bad food, bad drinking water, and, above all, bad ventilation. They also make one suggestion which ought to give tenfold force to those which they make respecting tho prevention of cholera, and that is, the possibility of these peated invasions of cholera fixing it in the climato, or rather soil of the countries afflicted by it. In respect to this, tho reviewer abo adds: "When we reflect that the cho- era gel in has remained in Europe for a period of eleven years at a time, this idea does not seem by any means a groundless one. Many ndeeu are oi opinion that the disease lias already obtained a permanent footing in parts of the Persian Gulf, and of the coast of Arabia, and thcit epidemics may occur in Jeddah, or in the Ilejaz, without fresh importation of the germ from India; but this view has not been adopted by the conference, and they do not believe that the cholera lias, as yet, become ndemic anywhere beyond the limit of India. Still there seems no reason why a disease which has already wandered so much, and has found new homes in India in different periods of its history, and in places varying very considera bly in climate, should not find a homo in coun tries similarly situated. To guard against this, we must do everything which hygiene an suggest to render places unht for the per manent nourishment of the geVm." The conclusion of the whole matter seems to be this, that at present we know but little of the causes and origin of cholera, and stul less of the true method of treatment for it ; of one thing only are we certain, viz. that cholera is most virulent where the hygienic laws receive least attention, and that in cholera, as in all other diseases, prevention is better than cure PROPOSALS.
