Little Frank was at last fast asleep, and with a whispered injunction to Nancy to "jog the cradle, if baby moved," off she tripped to look over stores of wreaths, satin slippers ' and her wedding dress, to see what she would have suitable to wear at the grand party. .know Matthew will go this time," argued the young wife to herself, " the Wards are great friends of his. Let me see—he thinks I look best in blue ; I guess I'll get a light blue brocade, and have it made so 1 can wear my Honiton. How kind of Matthew to give me those expen sive laces fur Christmas present. He likes to see me well 'dressed, and 1 know he won't object to the brocade, for he's doing such a good business now, and I haven't had an evening dress since I was married." And with a light heart, Annie ,Neil turned over the flowers, trying- on a wreath or spray now and then tb see which woUld be the most becoming. The little wife possessed a deal of tact. She had a practical knowledge of the English adage, which says that "a hungry man is an angry man," so she waited patiently till the soup and fowl were dis cussed, the desert placed upon the table, and her husband's appetite somewhat ap peased 'before she commenced. “Matthew,” said she, "the Wards are to give a large party on Thursday night, and have sent us an invitation." There was not a word, or look of encour agement on the husband. She was going to add, And I want you to give me a new dress for the occasion," and end it ,all with a kiss, but the stolid face prevented that, so she - only said, "I expect it will be a very handsome affair, in honor of their new house." "I know two people who won't be there,' was the reply, as the knife went down with a snap through his mince pie to the plate. Annie said not a word, but the tears al most come, as she sat twirling the water in her goblet. So the dinner ended in si lence. Mathew took up his hat to return to his counting room, and Annie went up to the nursery to play with little , Frank whilst Nancy got her dinner. But somehow the child missed something in his mother. She did not entertain him with her usual light hearted gaiety ; her laugh was not so ringing when his block houses fell down; she did not 'drive horsey, so actively as common; nor play 'peep' with such laughing eyes as he had been accus tomed to. So Frank fretted, and would not be amused, and Annie Neil sighed, 'oh dear,' and with a quivering lip said to herself, 'I am glad I . was spared the mortification of having the dress refused, at any rate." And then in spite of herself, hard, tho' just thoughts of her husband, would in intrude themselves. She even then did not know that her heart pronounced Mat thew selfish, but she thought over the two years of their married life, and remember ed that he had taken her a young gay girl from a large circle of warm friends; had re fused to attend niost of the bridal parties which had been offered to her, and had peremptorily . declined every invitation since. Without intending it probably, he had withdrawn her from most of her young companions, whose society, he declared was not worth having. Poor Annie ! She -had a light heart, and was young enough', and tasted gaiety too seldom, now not to "feel terribly disap pointed at not attendinng Mrs. Ward's party. The young wife had made up her mind to bear this little privation, as patiently as she had borne all the others, but in . spite of herself, her kiss was not so warm as usu al, nor her voice so gay in its welcome, when her husband returned at night. "Well,•Annie ! what kind of dress- are you going to wear at Mrs. Ward's ?" ask ed Mrs. Qarr; Matthew's sister, as her hus band and herseif were spending the eve ning there. "We are not - going, Lizzy," was Annie's somewhat constrainedanswer. Lizzy turned a quick, sharp look at her brother. "You mean IVlatthew won't go, I suppose," said she. "Indeefl I shan't," replied the brother, while a smile of contemptuous superiority curled his lip, "how a sane man spend an evening, at a fashionable party, is beyond my comprehension." "That is not the only thing beyond your comprehension, I suspect," replied the high spirited sister, as she gazed at Annie's youthful face. "One never meets a person worth speak ing to," continued Matthew, not noticing his sister's interruption, "nothing but a parcel of men and women dancing; and making fools of themselves." • "You must have a stupid set of acquain tance, and but little discrimination . and ability to draw people out," was Mrs. Carr's retort. "There is no 'reason why you can not talk as sensible at a party as 'anywhere else. You meet the same set of' men that you are so fond of smoking cigars with in your office, or so fond of talking with at your stag, parties• ' and to one who likes to read-characters by countenances, a good corner at a large party affords one not on ly amusement , but some insight into hu marr nature.' "A man gets enough of that through the day, and wants to rest quietly when he comes home at night," replied Mr. Neil changing his ground. Annie liad heard a cry in the nursery during the discussion, and gone up to look ,after little Frank, so w4hout, the fear of creating trouble between her brother and his wife, Mrs. Carr went on: "And don't you remember, Matthew, that your quiet, patient wife *gets nothing at all of that;' that a woman's mind stagnates by her constant confinement to mere domestic duties; with no recreations she looses'all elasticity of mind, and at last becomes .a mere head nurse and house keeper to her children and husband. It would be equally wrong in Annie to want to go out every night, but surely you might make an occasional sacrifice. 1 tell you Matthew Niel, what it is, were 1 in your wife's place, l'd go without you." - . Mr. Niel opened his eyes, and laughed at the idea of his quiet, gentle wife think ing for herself, and going without him; so he shrugged his shoulders 'at his sister,and turned to Mr. Carr to ask about the last advices from Europe. The night of the party came, and found Annie beside little Frank's cradle, trying in vain to read, whilst her hu4band was down stairs smoking a cigar with a friend. Matthew Neil was not an unkind hus band in the usual acceptation of the phrase only a selfish one, but such men if they care at all fora wife's love, are making one of the greatest mistakes of a life time when they say, "It is only a trifle, and there are a great many more important things than going to parties." . . Invitation after invitation was refused in the same peremptory manner, without once consulting his wife's inclinations. With the usual generosity (perversity if you will, dear reader,) of woman's nature; had he but once have said to Annie, "We will go if you would like to," she would have instantly refused, and had more plea sure in the refusal than the acceptance. The spring came and found the wife worn out, body and mind, with constant atten tion on her sick child. The frightful ill ness and trying convalescence was past, and now Annie longed for some relief from the wearisome routine of every day life. She longed for something that would arouse her from the train of sad thoughts which had assailed her in little Frank's room, but there never came a kind offer to drive her out for change of air, nor an in vitation to go to a concert.or a lecture, or the opera, and she was too proud to ask for what she feared would be refused. But many and many a night during the child's recovery, had Matthew looked into the room and said, “Annie, Frank is so cross that I canndt stand it. As I can't do you any good, I think I will step into the theatre," or else, "as long as you don't mind being alone, I'll go to hear Sontag to-night, I think;" and the gentle reply would be, "Very well, Matthew," and then a burst of tears when he bad gone. Once during the child's illness, Annie had implored the husband to stay at home froth a gentleman's party to which he was going, "I get so frightened when those spasms come on," she urged. He replied that "the doctor did not think them,so alarming; that Nancy could do more gdod than he could, even if he was there; that Annie was becoming as much of a baby as Frank; and thht after the wear isome routine of business, he really needed some recreation." But he staid, neverthe less, sullenly enough to make his wife re pent the request, and for weeks afterward spoke of his having to deny himself _ all pleasure on account of her nervous whims. A change was slowly but surely coming over Annie Neil's love. It was no longer with an impatient waiting on the staircase, till she heard the latch key in the door and then a quick flying to her own room, for fear he should know how foolish she had been, that she received him now; it was no longer a half-hour's study with her, wheth er her glossy hair should be curled or braid ed; it ,'as no longer in selecting a dress that she asked herself, "which would Mat thew like best;" it was no longer that a week's absence on a gunning expeditidn was looked forward to, as if it would be an eternal separation; but her duties were all faithfully performed, and she was as gentle and patient as ever. Annie Neil was no hypocrite. She could not feign the intense love she had once felt, and even if she had tried, her husband was "THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMANDSTHR. GRIMM REILARD."--Buchwam CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 20, 1854. too selfish, not soon to have detected the counteifeit. "It is enough to make one dislike chil dren,"' grumbled -Matthew Neil, one night to his sister, "when one's wife's whole soul is wrapped up so in them, that the husband is a mere secondary consideration. I really believe Annie has not a thought to spare from. Frank. She would a great deal rather sit in the nursery with him than in the parlor with me. It isn't that he needs her care either, for Nancy is a capital nurse, and I have offered to hire another if she has not enough servants." "Annie has been accustomed to the con finement of the nursery so long, that I sus pect that she only looks upon herself as a head nurse," retorted Mrs. Carr, "but she must come to our party whether you do or not, that's settled," nate was not exactly the same satisfied smile on Matthew Neil's face now, that there Was on the night on which Ward's garty was discussed, as' he replied, "very well," for he felt that his wife was not the same unquestioning creature that she was then. And Annie did go to the party; and not only, to that but to others, and still others; to the, opera, to the theatre, to concerts with her sister-in-law and Mr. Carr; and night after night, sometimes after spending a long, lonely evening, her husband heard her bid adieu, to her laughing companions on the door-steps, he thought how gay she was, to what she used to be, to all but him, and he sighed that now their roads were so separated. There was a great unsatisfied want now, in Matthew Neil's heart. Prom sheer des peration, he followed, rather than went with his wife into society; he almost sick ened at her innocent gaiety; and at times, loathed his child on whom she bestowed such prodigal caresses. There was no lack of wifely duty. Annie - was ever gentle and patient, a good housewife, and a faithful nurse in sickness, but the warmth with which! her love had touched all things, had gone.. Her husband knew she loved no one, else, but alas, he felt that she could never love him again, as she once had done,. and to thiS day, Matthew Neil is mourning over his MISTAKE. CHOOSING HUSBANDS "When a girl marries, why- do peopt talk of her choice? in . ninety-nine cases out of a hundred has she any choice? Does not the man, probably the last she would have chosen, select her!" A very clever correspondent has sent the editor ()fan exchange, a letter contain ing the query, and she makes out her case very ably, sbe says: "I have been married many years: the match was considered to be a very good one, suitable in every respect—age posi tion and fortune. Every one said I had made ti good choice. Why no, dear Mr. Editor, 1 loved my husband when I mar ried 'him, because he had by unwearied assiduity, succeeded in gaining my affec tions; but had choice been my privilege, 1 certainly should not have chosen him. "As 1 look at him in his easy chair, sleep ing before the fire, a huge dog at his feet, a pipe peeping out of one of the many pock e is of his shooting coat, I can but think how 'different he is from what I would have chosen. My first penchant was for a fashionable clergyman, a.perfeet Adonis; he was a flatterer, and cared but little for me, though I have not yet forgotten the pang of his desertion. My next was a bar rister; a young „pan of immense talent, smooth, insinuating manners; but he, too, after 'talking, walking, dancing and flirting, left me in the lurch! Either of them would have been my choice had I so chosen; but my present husband chose me, and there fore 1 married him; and this I cannot help thinking, must be the way with half the married folks of m i T acquaintance." There is both sound sense and truth in this; but is it not better that men should choose than that they should be chosen ? And is not our correspondent probably much happier with her present husband, shooting jacket, pipe and dog inclusive, than she, would be with either the fashion able clergyman or the clever barrister? Men are proverbially inconstant; and, af ter marl- . +=re, when the trouble and incon venie ce children begin to be felt, and when most trying time of all,) the wife egins to neglect her husband for her chil n, unless there was originally a very s 9ang attachment on the husband's side, th eis little chance of happiness. Awe's affection, on the contrary, al ways increases after marriage; and if indif ferent'before, no well disposed woman can help loving the father of her Children. Children on her side are a bond of union, and 'though she may appear to neglect some of those little attentions which men seem naturally to expect, it is only because the child is the more helpless being of the two, and the true woman always takes the side of the feeble. It is a strange but melancholy fact that when young girls fan cy themselves in love, they are seldom if ever happy, if they marry the object of their choice. The fact is, in most cases, they find the husband they have chosen quite a different person as an individual from the imaginary object he appeared as a lover. The imagination of most girls is strong er than the judgment; and as soon as the first idea of love is awakened in the female heart, the imagination is set to work to fan cy a lover, and possible perfections are as sembled together in the young girl's mind to endow the object of her secret idolatry. The first man whose appearance and mau- hers attract a girl on her entrance into 'society, is generally invested by her with he halo of these thoughts, and she fancies herself in love with him. No wonder, then, that if she marries him she is miserable. The object of her love has vanished, never to return; and she finds herself chained for life to a man and she fancies she has been deceived in him. On the other hand, the man who, with very pardonable vanity, fancies himself loved for his own merits, and who was per fectly unconscious of the secret delusions of the girl, becomes, when he finds her change after marriege, quite indignant at her caprice. The friends and relatives on both sides share in the same feeling— "what would she have? they cry—""she mar- ried for love and for the consequences." The consequences are- indeed, in such cases, generally sad enough. When the first delusion is dissipated, and the truth in all its hard and stern reality, comes' forth from the veil that has been thrown around it, both parties feel indignant at the. false position in which they find themselves. Mutual recriminations take place, each hc cusing the other of deceit and ingratitude while the apparent injustice of those- accu sations, which is felt by each party, alter nately, first wounds the feelings, and then, if repeated, rankles in the wound till it becomes incurable. SELFISHNESS--Live for some purpose in the world. Act your part Well. Fill up the measure of duty to others. Con duct yourselves so that you shall be mis sed with sorrow when you are gone. Mul titudes of our species are living in such a selfish manner that- they are not likely to be remembered after their disappearance. They leave behind them scarcely any tra ces of their existence, but are forgotten el most as though tney had never been. They are, while they live, like one liebble lying unobserved among a million on the shore ; and when they die, they are like that same pebble thrown into the sea, which just ruf fles the surface, sinks, and is forgotten, without being missed from the beach.— They are neither regretted by the rich, wanted by the poor, nor celebrated by the learned. Who has been the better for their life ? Who has been the worse for their death Whose tears haVe they dried up ? whose wantss upplied ?—whose miseries have they healed ? Who would unbar the Gate of life, to reamit them to existence or what face would greet them back again to our world with a smile ? Wretched, un T productive mode of existence . ? Selfish; ness is its own curse ; it is a starving vice The man who does no good gets none. He - is like the heath in the desert, neither yielding fruit nor seeing when good coin eth a stunted, dwarfish ; miserable shrub. CURE FOR CORNS.-Mr. Cooper, in his "Dictionary of Surgery," has the follow ing infallible cure for corns : Take two• ounces of gum ammoniac, two ounces of yellow wax, and six drachms of verdigris; melt them together, and spread the compo sition on soft leather ; cut away as much of the corn as you can, then apply the plaster, and renew it every fortnight till the corn is away.

Beware of Impostors and swindlers. In order to prevent a repetition of the frauds so extensively carried on during the last two years, by a set of scoundrels who travelled over the country, and represented , themselves as my agents, and in many instances exhibited forged certificates of agency, I now give notice that all my agents, carry with them printed forms, author izing them to act as my agents; legally executed and acknowledged before Alderman Henry Sirup son, of Philadelphia; they have also, my name and place of business on their wagon,. I believe them all to be strictly honest, and fully acquainted with the business of putting up Lightning Rods, which they will do at as low a price as they can be ob tainet, at the Factory. As many schemes have been resorted to, to defraud myself anti the public purchasers should be on their guard; thousands have been grossly deceived by purchasing useless articles in the shape of Lightning 'Rods, having tie wter, lead, copper, zinc and iron points, either, or all of which are good for nothing. My Electro Magnet Lightning rods, have been examined by many of the most scientific men in the world, who have pronounced theta to be the only rods that they have ever seen, which are calculated to save lives and property from destruction by lightning— among these are Professors Henry M 2 Murtrie, James M'Clintock, Walter R. Johnson,-of the U. S. Patent Office, E. J. Carr, Dr. T. E. Waller and many others who recommend them in the highest terms of approbation.
