I didn'ljike tho “my dear Mrs, Sunder* land I’’, nor the particular solicitude expressed by not a few Ih anything that concerned by.wife's welfare; when.she talked about Mrs. Jones being such a sou), and Mrs. Peters being so disinter* eslod in everything, 1 shrugged my shoulders and reserved the privilege of a doubt In . regard to all i being gold that glittered. | Not having been raised in (lisbionabto life, wo had ; no taste fur display, and, although' we had our share ;of company, whether wo oarod about it or, not, we I had never ventured so far to sea as to give a parly, | although we bad accepted several Invitations to as semblages of this kind. But some of Mrs. Sunder land's good friends and acquaintances insisted upon it, lust winter, that she must give un entertainment, and they used such cogent arguments that she, good soul! was won over. I remained for a long time in corrigible; but as nothing could pul it out of IHrs.

Our circle uf acquaintance hud been considerably enlarged within two or-'three years, and when wu went over the Hal It wus Tound'lo bo very largo. “ You will have to cut it down considerably,” said “To 80 without giving offence will ho difficult,’ replied my wife. “ Better cut ull off then,” was on my tongue, but 1 repressed the words, Ceding it would bo. unkind to throw cold water upon the affair at this stage of its progress., .

Both wore dress-makers apprentices. They were learning a trade in order to relievo their father, an industrious, bat nut very thrifty man, from the burthen of their support. I liked them very much . £ l hclr good,sense, agreeable manners and strong 'affection for their parents. “bhall wo iuviio thoni 7" inquired my wife. “Certainly*” i replied. Why not? “ Will they bo able to make u good appearance ? You know that a number of fashionable people will be bore.” If you doubt it, wo will send them each a hand.

Tho pruning down of the invitation list was no. oasv matter, and it was not without many fours ol giving, offence that my wiCu at last fixed upon tho precise number of persons who wore to honor us with their coihpany. Tho exact character of tho entertainment was next to bo considered, mid an estimate cost, made, Sev eral ladies ati fail in such mutters were consulted; and their opinions compared, digested apd adopted or rejected us they agreed with, or differed from what wo thought right. “ It will cost ut leant & hundred dollars,” .said Mr. Sunderland after wc had come to some understand*’ hig as to what wo would have.

And I Kept my oyce upon the ladies as Intently as they did upon Fanny and ,Ellen. .presently t saw one pf them toss her head With an air ofdigolfied contempt, and rising, up made her way across • the room to where her hnabarid stood. She spoke to him in evi dent ezcUcmenl, and directed his attention to my nieces. The sight of them did not see'm to produce any unpleasant effect upon him; for• he merely shrugged his shoulders*smiled and answered in a few.worda that I could scewore indifferent. But his wife jvtis in earnest; and placing her arm within his drew.him towords tho door. . He remonstrated; but she was not in a humor to listen to anything, and with surprise I saw them retire from the. parlors.— My first impulse was to. follow .them, but the truth flashing across my mind, I felt indignant at such conduct, and resolved lo Icllhem do as they pleased. In a little' while tho offended lady bonneted and cloaked and boaed, came sweeping past'the parlor doors; with her husband in her train; attracting the attention.of a third part of tho company. A moment and'she passed.into the street. . ' “Whoislhol? What lathe matter T” Went whis pering about (ho rooiii. ■ V' It is Mrsl L r . n ; ” Mrs, L—is she.sick?" “ Why has she gone 7 U ;’ .

About ono'hulfoflhe ladicspresonl did not exactly seem to know whether they ought to follow the example of Mrs. L. or not;.and there was a portentous move* nicnt. whcn almost \hd waving of a finger would have caused our party to break up in disorder. The moment tny niccfs understood the feeling that.had prompted tiio lady to withdraw indignantly; they arose, and were retiring, frohrl the room, when I Intercepted (hem and detained them with as little ceremony as possible. 'l’hey begged hard to be per* milted to retire, bat I said no for my “ blood was op,!' as (ho saying is. “Ellen and Fanny nro worth as many Mrs. L's. said I to myself, “ as you can find from here to Je. rlco." - . ■ , i The disaffected ones noticed, I suppose, my dcoi sion in tho inullor, and thought it prudent not to break with Mr. and Mrs. SnndorUnd, who could af ford to bo independent; Money is a great thing!— Humph! There was u time in oar history—but no mailer. We are people of character and standing now! •’ • Wo had rather a dull time after the .withdrawal of Mrs.lj, For a while the spirits of liic company ral lied, under (lie effects of wine anti a good supper, but they soon (lagged again, and a .sober east of thought' settled upon utmost every. countenance. My poor wife found it impossible lu rcluin a'cheerful exterior; and my nieces- looked as if almost any other place in the world would have beena paradiscincomparlson At (cost on hour earlier than we hud, anticipated; our rooms were deserted, and we left ulono with our thoughts, which upon the.whulo were not .very agree able. Mrs. Sunderland the moment the lust guest had. retired, went buck into tho bnlUunlly . parlors, and setting down upon a sofa hurst lnlo\tears.—‘ She' had promised herself much pleasure, but alas i ppointed!. one a and indignanvenongh to say almost anything, vad . a dOzen times as I paced the room backwards sndTarwards; did I check myself from uttering words that Would qnly have mode poor Mrs. Sunderland feel (on limes worse than she did. “The ncxl time wo give a parly ” ** Wo won'l !” said 1, taking tho words out of my wife’s mouth.

When fifty or sixty people cat an elegant supper and drink costly wino at my ox* pense again, they will behave themselves better than some of our high bred ladies did to night. As for Mrs. L. Fanny and Ellen are worth a hundred of her. It's my opinion If she know everything she would curtail her dignity a little.

The bills were over one hundred and fitly dollars, exclusive of a hundred as before,intima ted for parlor ornaments to graco the occasion. ' “So much paid for worldly wisdom,” said I; after all was over. “ 1 don’t think wo need (ogive anoth er parly.” Mrs, Sunderland sighed and shook her head.— Poor soul! Her kind and generous nature was hurl. She had looked upon a now phrase of character, and (ho discovery hnd wounded her deeply. A few months after (Ilia unfortunate party, from which so little pleasure and so much pain half sprung, I said to my wife on coming home one.dny— “ IP® a*'| dxpecleiJ.i ’Pride-must have a fall.” “Why do you soy that?"

But my wife in* stonily reproved my levity. Shu .cherished no ani mosities, and had.long since forgiven the offence. So much for My Wife’s Party ! THE OntTOU AND THIS NEWSPAPER* . Compare tho Orator, uno of the noblest vehicles for the dtfusion of thought, with tho Newspaper, and wo may gain a faint glimpse of tho latter. Tho'oralor speaks to a few hundred; the newspaper addresses millions. Tho words of tho Orator may die on the air; the language of the Newspaper is stumped on tablets imperishable as marble. The arguments of tho Orator may follow each other so rapidly that the majority of tho audience may struggle in a net of ratiocination j -.(ho reasonings of tho Newspaper may be scanned at leisure without a fear of perplexity.— Tho passions of the Orator inflame an assembly; the feelings of n Newspaper electrifies a continent.- Thn Orator Is for nn bdifico; the Newspaper fur a world; tho one shines for an hour; tho other glows for a (lino. The Orator may ho compared to tho light* nlng, which flashes over a.valley for a moment, but to leave it again in darkness; tho newspaper to a Sun blazing steadily, over a whole earth, nhd fixed “on Hie basis of its own eternity. 1 ’ , Printing has been happily defined “the Art preservative of all Arts. 11 Printing makes the Orator more than an Or* utor. -It catches up his dying words and breathes into them the breul(i of, life.

It Is a trite, but at tho same lime true remark, that incidentsoflifo constantly occurring around ds,possess a far more romanlio interest than funci fur.pries conceived in the teeming brain of the nov. .Of this the “o*er trdo tale,” told us in brief byijlhe steward of tho packet boat Louisiana, bn Saturday, will furnish an illustration. - £ome ten years ago, as our readers will remember there was what was termed a rebellion, in Canada; after tho "patriots” were subdued; some were summarily executed, and a portion banished for a lopgterm ofyeara to Aoslrolla. Most of these latter, wdre men with families,'from whom they were lorn ■without mercy, lo expiate, in a far distant land, by imprisonment and hard labor, tho crimbof having fajlcd in tho attempt to rid thqir.country of the evils oft miegovornment. Wdfthlnk they acted very un wisely in proceeding tothb length they did, but this point wo shall not stop lo consider. With one of the expatriated men our tala has chiefly to do; . For or eight years he had borne the hardships of a Iqhcly’ captivity, hopeless of ever seeing home, dr friends again; when a general amnesty wtis. pro claimed by the British government in regard to all, flitli .one or two exceptions of those who had Dsan concerned in the rebellion. Our hero was now at- libcrty and his first thought wds inf}eek'his.lion(e. But he had no means to pay ,fiis passage there, and h|f accordingly shipped on board a whaling vessel, Which at Hicend of two years more; landed him upon his native shore; fWifii, children and friends, filled his Ihodjriils, and mjrhastencd to his old residence in Canada. Every . thing remained as it had been—friends und neighbors glecled him as ho passed—but now hia heart sunk VVithln. him to find tho homestead deserted, and .to learn that his wife had been married two years to ohother, supposing tho “husband of her youth” to be djifad. She and her newfound male hud loft that j»n of tiic country and settled somewhere in Illinois. 3-Thu poor man felt desdlale indeed, and.dctormined tp.eee, apdi if possible, to reclaim her. After a wca travel, and, many enquiries; he traced her W Knox oahnly, Illinois, where they were comfortably settled inMhelr now home. There, ho, presented litmaclf’ a fow days since. The wife could not have been mare Ifttprlsed or pained to see ah opparation from the fitavc./or she. had long considered hi>n as dead.— The now husband, too, was father disagreeably sur mised to see .before.,him ,a his Wife.— What should be done 7 The first husband was anx- Itfus to obtain the lady—the second was disinolincd JAgive her up, looking, upon his claim os good. vpThey were rbasonublo people all. around. Tho ipriginal claimant remained in lho*noighborhood two £eeks daring which lime, the matter was frankly diked over.

In infancy ho saw. again, the old arm chair where sal his lather-with the biblo upon hie knee, and seemed to.hear again the sweet tunes of his mother’s Voice, as she, laid her hands upon (he head of her darling boy, and prayed that C»od would .bless him, and preserve him from evil. /.Long yenrp had passed away, yet teara came into the eyes of the drunkard at-lhe.recollection of his mother's love., '* Poof,'in,other/' ho muttered, “ it is well that th'oii, art sleeping In the grave I it break thy. heart I°. kpow that thy, son is a wretched and degraded being—a miserable outcast, from society/' .

Thither the drunkard bent his steps. It had been bis favorite haiinl in days of his childhood, as he threw himself upon the, soft green sward, the past scenes came crowding over his mind. tie covered, his face with bis hands, and tho prayer of the prodigal burst from Ids Ups—“ Oil God! "receive a returning wanderer!” Suddenly a soft arm wus thrown around his neck, i and a sweet voico murmured— ‘‘ He will forgive you, father.” Starling lochia, feet, the incbfiato saw islanding before him,'his youngest daughter, a child six years old.. “Why are you hero, Anne?” he said, ashamed that the innocent, child shudld. have' witnessed his grief. “I came to gather the liitics which grow upon (he banks,” she replied: “ see I have, got my basket fall, and now I am going to selPUiem.” “And wiiai da you do With, the money 7" asked the.father, as he. turned his.eyos to the basket, where among (he broad green loaves the sweet lillles of the valley were peeping out, ; The child hesitated, she thought she had bald too much; perhaps her father.wotild demand the money, and spend It in the woy in which all his earnings went; “ Yqu are afraid to tell me, Anne,” said her father, kindly* “ Well, ido holbUme you, 1 have no right to my children's confidence.” - Tim gentleness of tone touched the heart of tho affectionate child. She threw her arms around his neck, and exclaimed; " Ves, father, 1 will tell you. Mother buys medicines fyr poor little Willie.

She throw batik her golden, ringlets, raised her large blue eyes, will) an earnest look to.his face—” Will you never drink any more rum?” she whispered timidly. “ Never! dear Anne,” her father replied solemnly. Joy danced in her eyes. “Then we will all bo so happy. Oh, father, what a happy home ours will bo!” ' Years passed away. The words of little Anno,the drunkard's daughter, hndproved true. Tho homo of tho'rfefonned man, her father, was Indeed a happy one. Plenty crowned his board, and health and joy beamed upon the face of his wife and children— where once squalid .misery alone could bo traced. Thu pledge had raised him from his degradation,and restored him once more to peace and happiness. * An Affecting -Anecdote* A oorporal'of tho rifle brtgade,/or rubbing a Span iard of tome, bread , was tried by a drum head court martial, and, brought out immediately afterwards for punishment.- When the brigade was fanned, and tho unhupny corporal, who tilt then bore an excellent character was .placed l,n (hq centre of (he square,- close to tho. general said,! in a stern voice—“ Strip, sir,”. The'.corporal .never uttered a word till np, his. hqad round,* so/ar os ins humiliating position enabled him, ho said, In a firm and ,iospoctful voice—“ General Crawford, spare mo.!’ ,Tho general replied, “it con not be; your crime is too groat.!’ The unhappy man, who was sentenced to bp reduced to (Ijq puy and rank;pf o private, soldier, and to receive two Aun dred lathe*, then added—“Oh, General’ do you ru collect when we were both taken prisoners hi llnanos Ayres 7 Wo were confined with others in a sort of a pound.

I biscuit with.you—on tlmt occasion you shook me by tho hand, swearing never to forget my kindness—it is now in your power.— You know that when I committed the net fm which I am now made so humiliating a spectacle to .my comrades, wo had been short of rations for some lime.” • Not only the, general; but the whole square was affected by this address. Thu busier, who stood behind the corporal, then, on a nod, from the bugle major, inflicted the first lath; which drew blood frpm os bravo a fellow os ever carried a. musket. The general started, and turned hastily around, said, “Who ordered that bugler to flog? Send him to drill! send him to drill! I romejnher it well. !”ull the time pacing np and down the square, wiping his face with his handkerchief, trying to hide umnlions that were visible to tho whole square. After recovering his noble feeling, the gallant general uttered with a bro ken accent —“Why does a bravo soldier like you commit these, crimes?” Then beckoning to hi* or* derty for his horse, ho mounted am) galloped oil'. In a few.days tlie corporal was. restored to his rank, and f saw him a year afterwards a respected serjonnt.— Hud (lie poor; fpllow’s sentence been carried'out, a valuahlp soldier vynuld huye top.t (o the service, and,a good man converted into a worthless one.
