Nothing can be more touching, than to behold a soft and tender female, who had been all weakness and dependence, and alive to every trivial, roughness, while treading the prosperous path of life, suddenly risinj; in mental-force it) be the comforter. arid supporter of her husband under misfortune, and abating, with., unshrinking firmness, the bitterest blasts of adversity, -Asthc-vinerwhiclrtarlong graceful foliage about the oak, and been lifted-by-it 'tiito*-sunshine, will, when the hardy plant is rifted by the thunderbolt, cling round it with its 'crossing tendrils, and bind up its shattered boughs; so is it beauti fully ordered by Providence, that woman, who is the-mere dependant and ornament of | man, in his happier hours, should be his stay and solace while smitten with sudd.eri. cala mity; winding herself into the rugged, reces ses of Ins nature, tenderly supporting the drooping head, arid binding up the broken heart. - 1 Twas o.ncc,congratulating a friend, wlio jliadmioUnd : him a blobnifoa wish you rib better Jot, 5 said he. with enthu siasm. ‘than td have a wife and children.--: If you arc; prosperous,, there ..they are, to share your prosperity; if otherwise, there they are to comfort you.’ And, indeed, I haveobseryed t|iat a married' hian falling into misfortune, Js more apt-to retrieve-.his ■situil'tion inthe world. fohnJaTsiiigle bite;' partly; beeausc he is more stimulated to ex ertion by the necessity of tlie helpless and lieloyed beings .who "depend- upon him -for subsistence; but chiefly ; because his spirits arc soothed.and relieved by domcs(u& en dearment, and his .self-respect kept uliveby finding, that thoiiglTall abroad is darkness' and' humiliation/ yet theie is still_n• little world of love at home;' of which' he .is the monarch. 'Whereas, a singl.e man is apt to run.to waste and sclf-negleci; to fancy him self lonely 'and abandoned, amt his heart to fall to ruin, like some deserted mansion, for want of an inhabitant., ' These observations call to mind a little domestic story, of which I was once a wit l ness. My intimate friend, Leslie,had mar ried a bcautilul-and accomplished girl, who had been brought up in the midst ul fashion able life. She had, it is true, hii fortune, but that of my friend, was ample, and he delight ed in the anticipation of, indulging .her in every elegant pursuit, and administering to those elegant tastes and fancies that spread a kind of witchery nbout.tho, sex. ‘Her life,’ said he, ‘shall" be like n fairy talc.’ The .very dill'erence .in. their characters produced a.jianuomuiis combination; he \<-as iof a romantic, and somewhat serious cast; she was all life and gladness. I have often noticed the mute rapture with which lie would gaze, upon her in company, of which her sprightly powers made her the delight; and'how, in the midst of ; applause, her eye would still fop to him, ,as if there alone she sought favor and acceptance.; v Wfocn lean ing on his arm, her slender form contrasted finely with his tall manly person. The fond, confiding air with which she looked up to him, seemed to call forth a flush of triumph ant pride and cherishing tenderness, as if lib floated on his lovely burthen (or its very helplessness. Never did a cuupfo set for ward en the flowery path of early and well suited, marriage with a fairer prospect of fo licity. - 1 -.•lt was the misfortune of my friend', how ever, to have embarked his property in large, speculations;.and he had not been married many months; wlien, : by a succession of sud den disasters, it was swept from .him, and he found himself reduced to almost penury. For a time lie kept his-situation to him self, and went about with a haggard coun tenance and a breaking heart, tils life was but a'protracted agony; and what rendered it more insupportable was the necessity of keeping up a smile in the presence of his wife; for he could not bring himself to over whelm her wifh the news. She saw, how ever, -with the quick eyes of allection, ’f|iat all was not well with him. She .marked his altered,locks audstifled -sighs, and was not to be,deceived by his sickly and vapid, at tempts at cheerfulness.;.; She tasked all her sprightly powers;apd tender blandishments tawiii him back to,happiness; but she only drove'the arrow deeper into;his soul. ’ The more he saw Cause to love lier, the more tor turing was the.thought that, he was soon;- to niakcherwretched... A little.while, thought he, ,and ; the-smile,;,Will vanish; from that check—the, sopg, will die ,away, from -those lips—diedustre of those eyes willde quench ed; with. sdrrowTT-arid the happy lieartwhich now beats lightly in; ihatdjospmi will *}jd weighed down, like mine, .by the cares ;and miseries of the world. .... -At length lie came to me one day, and,.re lated.his whole situation in.afone of the deepest despair, ' When I hail heard hyn through, I inquired, ‘Docs your wife know, all this?,’ , At the question he hurst into an ■ if you havetiuh'v. pit6h riiei don’t" ipention !ny;,wiferiti;|af.t|ie- thought of lier that alniost drives me to madness!’ v ■ . ‘Aml vvhy not?’ said I, ;shc must know (t sopher or lat’eiVyou cannot keep . it -long from her, and the intelligence'may 'brtik ■T&r. •‘OCR CODNTRW-RIOHT OR WRONG,” . upon Her in ‘a.more’ titan if imparted bjf'yourself;’fob the "accents' of those we love soften the harshdst tidings.— Besides, you are depriving yourself of- the comforts of her sympathy; and not merely that, but also'endangering the only bond that can keep hearts together—ah unreserv ed community of thought arid feeling. She will soon perceive that something is secret ly preying upon your mind; and true love will not brook reserve; if feels undervalued and outraged, when even the sorrows of those it loves are concealed from it.’ ‘Oh, but riiy friend ftp think what a blow I am to give to all her future prospects— howl am to strike her very soul to the earth, by telliriE.her that her, husband is a beggar!—that she is to forego all the ele gancies of life—all the pleasures of society— to shrink with me into indigence and obscu rity ! 'To tell, her that I have, dragged her down from, the sphere in which she might have continued to moyC in constant bright ness—th el ight of every eye—the admira tion of every heart—how can she bear pov erty? She has been brought up in all the refinements of opulence. Ifow can she bear neglect? She' has been tlie idol oUsqcipty.' Oh, it will break her heart—it will break her heart!’ * 1 saw hisgrief.waS cloqucntr-and-I let if have its flow; for sorrow relie,ves itself by words.. When this paroxysm had subsided, and he had relapsed into moody silence,. 1 resumed the subject gently, and urged him to.break his situation at once to his wife.—. He shook his head, mournfully, butpositive- ■ ‘But how arc you to keep it frotpher? It is necessary she, should know it, that you may take the steps proper to the-alteration of yoiir circumstances. You must change diet you. .1 am.sure.j:pu have never placed yoiir happiness in outward show—you have yef. friends, warm friends, who will not think the worse of you for-being less splen didly lodged: and surely it does not require a palace to be-happy with ‘Mary—‘l could be happy -with-her,’-- cried he convulsively, -‘in a hovel!' I could.goldp.wri, with her into ppvcrty and the dust!—l could—l could— God bless her!’—God. bless her!’ cried.lie, bursting into a transport of grief and ten derness. ' ~ • mo, my friend,’said I, step ping up, and graspng Inin warmly by the -KanuV 'believe me; she can be" the same with you. - Ay, more, it will be a source of tri umph to her—it-willoallforth all the latent energies and fervent sympathies of her na ture; for she will rejoice to . prove that she loves you for yourself. There is in every true woman’s heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams blazes in the dark hour of adversity.. No man knows what a ministering angel she is —until he has .gone with lier through the fiery trials of.lhis wprld.’ There wiis something in the earnestness of my manner, and figurative style of my language, that caught the excited imagina tion of Leslie. 1 knew the auditor 1 had to deal with; and following up the impression I had made, 1 finished by persuading him to go home and unburthen his sad heart to his wife. I must confess, notwithstanding all I had said, 1 felt some little solicitude fur the re sult. Who can calculate on the fortitude of one whose whole life has been a round of pleasures? Her gay spirits might revolt at the dark, downward path, of low humility, suddenly pointed out before her, and might cliiigtto the sunny regions in which they had hitherto revelled. BcsidcsVruin in fash ionable life is accompanied by so many gall ing mortifications, to which,, in other ranks, it is“a burden.’ In short; 1 cduld’ not meet Leslie, the next morning, without, trepida tion. He .had made the disclosure. ‘And how did she bear it?’ ‘Like an ahgel! It seemed father to be a relief to'her mind, for she threw her arms round my neck' and asked if this was all that, had lately made me unhappy.' But, poor girl,’ added he,‘she cannot realize the change we must undergo. She had ho idea .of pov erty but in the abstract; she has only read of it in poetry,7whefe'if is allied fo ldvci— She feels' as yet no privation; she suffers nil lossiof accustomed conveniences of elegan cies. When wo come particularly to expe rience its sordid cares, its paltry wants, i(S petty humiliations—then will be the real trial. - ‘But,’ said I, ‘now that you have got over the severest task, that of breaking it to her, the sooner you let the world into the secret the better. The disclosure may be morti fying; but'then It is a single misery, and soon oyer; whereas you otherwise suffer it, in anticipation, every: hour in the day. : It is not poverty; so much as pretence, that liafrasses a ruined man-—the Btruggler.be-' tween a proud mind and an empty purse— the keeping up a hollow show that must soon Come to an end. Have the courage to ap pear poor, and you disarm,poverty of its sharpest sting.’ On this point 1 found Les* lie perfectly prepared. He had hb. false pride himself, and ns to his wife; she was only anxious'tb conform to theifaltered for-, tunes. •' " ' f: ‘. ; , ’ " Some days afterwards, he called upon me in . the evening. ! t Ijte had disposed of his dwelling housW and;taken, a ssmall cottage in the country, a few miles from ; town., 'He had. heeii;busied all day-in' sending out.;fur-i niture, ' The new,, establishment required lew articles, and those of the shnplestkiml.

Just as we approach ed, we heard the sound of. music-:—Leslie grasped my arm; we paused-and listened.— It was Mary’s vuice.-sfriging. in a style of the most touching simplicity, a little air of wliich her husband was pcculiary fond. I felt Leslie’s hand tremble on my arm.' He stopped forward to hear',more distinctly. His step made a noise on the gravel-walk. A’ bright beautiful face glanced out at the window, and vanished—a light footstep was heard—and Mary, came tripping forth to meet us. She was in a pretty rural dress of white; a few wild flowers were twisted in her fine hair; a fresh bloom was on her check; her whole countenance beamed with smiles —I liad never seen her look so lovely. ‘My dear George,’ cried she, ‘I inn so glad you are conie; ,1 have been watching and watching for you; running down the lane, and looking out for you.

The game,was at'an.mtcresting crisis/and Na -1 poleon would no' more permit it to be bus- . .pended_than.would-Charles nfrSweden-leave his chess board when the Turks commenced battering down his house in Bender. Buo naparte.ordered the ambassador to be, shown in, and M. Amcden Jaubcrt was commanded to the presence ns interpreter. The empe ror continued his game with Bcrlhcir, over whelming the astounded Persian with ques tions all the while, in his'usual rapid mode ol asking to gain information. The Mussul man found, it difficult to plant his replies ' suitably; the various topics being Turkey, Tcrsia, Mohammed, and the Koran, Eastern, harems, wivjes and sacks, the vaccine, mili tary discipline, and ten thousand other, mat ters.

The subject was not again alluded to; the game was played out; - but,, the next morning saw forty, thousand French cavalry defile before Napoleon and the Persian envoy,,in all the glittering pomp 'of military decoration.
