stands out in bold relief. Look before

lam not sordid, . Mr, Blair.' The
'young man's fine face glowed; and hie
eyes flashed with a repressed indigna
tion.
Not sordid enough, Adrian, for the
marriage, as society is now constituted.
There are • two sides to the question of
marriage ; the sentimental side and the
matter-of-fact. side.. Now have you • look
ed only on the sentimental side-; suppose
we consider the matter-of-fact aspects.=
You are a clerk receiving a -- salary of
81,000. How oituch . have you saved ?
Nothing to speak of.' • _ •
Nothing ! So much the worse. If it
Cost you $l,OOO a year to live,froin whence
is to come the means of supporting a
wife and family ?'
Oh I've been careless and wasteful in
expenditurea, as most men are- I had
only . myself to provide for; and was
selt-indulgent. But that must cease of
course.'
'Granted, for argunent's, sake. Tim
young lady you proppse .to--marry .is
named. Rosa
A charming young girl ; well educa
ted, find). accomplished ; used 10 good
society, as we say; and:just suited for my
friend Adrian, if,she had money, or he an
income of three or four thousand a year.
But the idea of making her a liappy wife,
in the city of New York on a thousand
dollars, is simply preposterous. ea,n't
I.)e done,- sir and the attempt wilfr prove
ruinous to the happiness of both parties
to so foolish an agreement. It is a matter
of the . easiest demonstration, Adrian; and
I wonder so Bond affacconntant as you
aresliodn't ere this have tried the question
by mathematical rules: Let me do it for
you. And first welook . at Rosa's present
sphere of life. She has a home with a
Mr-Hart, an nude, and is living in rather:
a lttxuri6us way. Mr. Hart is a man who
thinks a deal of appearances, and main
tains a domestie establishment that does
not cost less Than four thousand dollars a
year. His house rent is equal to your
salary..- Now, in taking Rosa from this
home ' into what kind (la one- can you
place her' , '
A sober hue of - thought came over the
young man's face.
' You can't afford to rent a house at
even one-half the cost of Mr: Hart's • even
if )ou. - were able ,10 'buy the faAtiture,'
-
continued Mr. Blair.
We will board of course,'said Adrian.
`Housekeeping is not to be thought of
in.the beginning.'
lf not in the beginning, how after
wards ?'
The yoting man looked qnite bewildered
but did not answer.
What are you now paging for board?"
'Five - dollars a week.'
You would require a•patlon and bed
room after marriage.
!Yes'
''At acost of,not less than fifteen dol
lars'a week'
We could hardly afford the parlor.'
Harkily,' said his friend. ' Welli give
up the parlor, and take a pleasant-front
chamber on the second floor, at - twelve
dollars a week. But the house is not first
class nor the ideation very - desirable. 7 :-
Theseare not to be had in .New York at
twelve dollars a week. . You cannot. afford
for Rosa the elegance of her present
home. Three dollars more- a week - for
washing and etceteras, and your income is
drawn up at the rate of , seven hundred
and eighty dollars a year. Two hundred
and twenty left for. clothing and other ex
penses.. And, so far, it has taken nearly
three times that .sum to meet -your own
demands. -It has a bad look,-Adrian.'
I was wasteful and' self-indulgent,'
said the young man, in a voice from which
the confident : tones. had departed. •qt

' Say two hundred,• including boots,

Yes.' • • - .
' You could hardly, get this below ti

Perhaps not.
The young Man's voice was
.growing
husky.
That will leave- seventy dollars for i
your wile's - clothing, • and -nothing for'
pleasure, recreation, little luxuries. And

fifteen hundred dollars a year, could see I
no possible chance for a happy marriage
in the city of New York, and 'preferred
celibacy to the - embarrassments which. he
anti hundreds of friends encounter in their j
attempts to - live in style out of all propor. I
tion to their resources. 'I am sorry !for
you" he repeated ; but &you will bend
your 'leek to the yoke, you must not com
plain of the burthen you will find yourself
compelled to bear.' -
Strange as it may - appear, the Toting
clerk, henry Adrian, had never before
looked this matter ofikOme, expenditure,
and style of living, fair in the front. The
actual aspect of the cue, when. eleirly
seen, threw his mind into a state of troub
led bewilderment. fie went over and'
over again the calculations suggested by
Mr. Blair, a book keeper in the establish.
meat where he was employed, cutting off
a little from one proposed' expenditure
and another, but not being able to get
the cost of living down to the range of his
salary except when the style was . so 'far
below that in 'Which . his wife Must move,
that he turned half sick from its contem
.pistion. The more steadily he looked' at
the truth, the more heavily came the pres
sura:of its stony weight upon his .heart ;
to fig forward was little less than madness,
and :vet how could he hold back now ?
ROSa sat alone, reading, in one of her
uncle's parlors, waiting for her lover.—
He was later than usual, so latd that—the
book began to lose-its interest, and at
last lay closed upon hei lap;while a shade
fell over her expectant face. A• single
glance at toss's cauntenance,revegled the
fact that she was a girl of some character.
There *as. no' soft voluptuous languor
abOut her, but an erectness of position as
she sat ; and a firmness of tone in all. her
features that indicated an. active mind and
self-rCliance. An hour later Oar: usual
Adrian came.
' Are you sick, Henry ? asked Rosa as
she took his hand, and - fixe'd her eyes on
his sober lune:
Not sick but troubled in.mind,' he re
plied without evasion.
' Why are yon troublek Henry ?' And
Rosa drew an arm tenderly . around her
lover.
',Sit down and I will • tell. you. • The
trouble, concerns us both, Rosa. •
The young girl's face grew pale.
_They
sat down close together, holding each
others hands. But in Adrian's counte
nance there was a resolute expression
such as we see on the countenance of a
main wlio has settled a question of difficult
solution.
`The day fixed for our marriage is only
two months distant,' he said. The tone
in which he spoke chilled the heart of
Rosa. She did not answer but kept' her
gaze upon his face. .
• Rosa we must reconsider this matter.
We have acted without forethought.'
Her face beearne paler,he lips apart,
her eyes had afrightened expresion.
• I love von, Rosa, tenderly, truly. .3IY
'heart is not turned from . yoo. I -would
hasten, rather than retard, the day,a our
marriage. But there are considerations
beyond that day, which have presented
themselves, and demand sober considera
tion., In a word, Rosa; cannot afford to
marry. illy income. will not justify the
.
.
step.' • , .
The frightened look went out of . Rosa's
eyes. r
7 It was wrong in •me to have sought

Her hausl tightened on his, and she sank
close to his side. •
am a clerk, with only a thousand dol
lars of income, and, I do - not see. much be
yond to hope for. Rosa, the furniture iti
these parlors cost twice tliee amount of my
salary. The rent of the house in which
you now lire, is equal to what I receive
in a year. I cannot take • you from all
this elegance iuto a third class boarditig
house . , the best;my means will proyille.--
No, no, Rosa, it would be'unjust, selfiSh,
wrong, cruel. How blind in me even to
lee thought of so degrading the. one I
love
The young man, was _strongly agitated.
. 'And is this all that troubles you 'Hen
ry !)'•
'ls it not enough ? Can I look at the
two alternatives that.present „themselves,
and not grow heart-sick? If we separate,
each taking different ways in lile—oh,
Rosa, I am not strong enough to choose'
that altertiative !' •
And his form trembled under the _pres
sure of excitement.
'You love me, Henry?'_` - '
The voice of Rosa was calm yet bur
dened with feeling.
'As my own lifo, darling! ,Have I not
said so althndred !tithes ?'
. .
'And even as my life do I love' you,
Henry!' I .
. 1
For. several moments her face lay bid

said : ' I
'I am glad yob have spoken on -this
subject,- Henry. I could not approach it
myself; but now that we have it before us

'Yes.: • •

•On the "day aft r Adrian's wedding, he
was at his usual lace in the Counting
room. He reeeiv d from his fellow clerks
a few feeble Gong atulatios, and most of
them thought him a feel, to burden him
self with a wife upt worth a dollar. .
'When I marry', I'll better my .condi
tion--not make it worse,' was the tin Sp
oken 'thought of more than one.' -
'Where are you boarding, asked Mr.
Blair, indifferently, two' or three weeks
after Adrian's marriage. ,

.
'What?' •
'At housekeeping.'

Mr. Blair accepted the invitation: go
had met Rosa occasionally befor her mar--
riage, and knew Ter to be a . ' bright, ac
complished young woman; fittecite, move
in refined and intelligent circles and he
felt some curiosity to see-her in the new.
'position of mistress and maid to her own ;
household. The Third. Avenue cars--bore
the two men a long distance from the city's
throbbing. heart, to the' more quirt exteri
ors, whine they alighted. and after a short I
walk, entered a modest. looking ;house I
'with well attended shrubbery hi a little I .
front garden. To the third story. ascend-.M
ed, and there the young wife'
: met them.
.Not blushing and With stammering apolo
fortheir jioOr -home but With such
ease and sweet Self possession, ;and such.l
loving smiles about her lips that Mr. Blair I.
found-himself transferred to an earthly
paradise. As soon witime came far °biter- I
vation, he took note.ot what was around'
-
The furniture of the room- into which
.he had been-ushered, could
. svarrely have,
been plainer: In the center stood .aimall I
breakfast table, covered - with *.snowy
cloth and: set for three perso4s: Your
cane seat ehairs, a work stand, q -hanging
shelf for books, and a-mantle ornament or
two, of no special value; an ing4iriciarpet

plainityle'of which showed it to be '.no I

After a pleasa s tit talk of some • minutes
Rosa left the room,
.and - not'long after re
turned, bearing a tray on_which'were tea,
toast, bfitteri biscuit, cold topgue • and
sweetmeats. There was a beautiful glow
on her race as she entered,but nothing of
shame or hurt pride. With her own fair
hands she_arranged the table, and then•
took her place at the bead to serve her
husband and-his friend. The.heart of Mr
Blair glowed and stirred with a new im
pulse as he looked into the pure, sweet,
happy face of the young wife, - as she
poured out the tea and served the - meal
which she lied prepared.: •
After supper . Rosa removed the things,
and was absent 'nearly half in hour. '-• She
returned through her. climber, whichad
joined their little parlor, breakfast anti
sitting room,all in one,with just theslight
est. change in her attire, and lookin! , .. as
frish, happy and beautiful as if entertain
ing a drawing room full ofcompany.: The
evening passed in reading and pleasant
conversation. - -•
- As Mr. Blair was about retiring, Adri
an said.:
'Rio you think, now, that we were foGis
to marry?'
Rosa stood with her hands drawn with
in the arm of her husllind and clasped,
with a face radiantly happy. j ;
. A shade crept over Mr. Blair's counte
nance. •
'Nut fools, brit wiseas others might be
it they were courageous enough to , do as
you have done, Mrs. Adrian ;' and he took
the- young wife's band. I honor yonr
brarery,your independence,your true love
that was not overshadowed
. .by world:
liness, that Mildew of the heart e zthat
bright on our social life. You are'a thou
sand. tunes hapPiet - in yourj)edutiful sec
lusion 'than any fashimWoving rife, or
slave to external appexancs, can ever be.'.
'I love my buslynA, and I live for him.'
RoSa leaned elos te . the manly form by
her side.- 1,-Mtderstood, when we were'
married,-that he was a lrfe toiler ; that our
home/as to be established and sustained
byihe work of his band and I underitood
as well, that I was not Lia superior, but'
only his equal, and that if it was right
and honorable for him to work, .it would

Wa.s I to. sit idle, and have' a servant , to
wait on me when his was a lot of toil?
No, no ,
no! Lhad, my part to . perform as
well as he, and lam performing it to the
best of my.ability?
'You are a true woman, a wise *'onion
a good woman,' said Mr. Blair, with ardor
and you will be as happy as you deserve
to be. I thought Harry , a tool to marry
on a thou4and dollars, and told .him so.
But I. take back my words.: If such
women as you. were - plentiful we curial all
marry, and find our Salaries ample. Good
night, and may. God bless you.
And the bachelor clerk, who could not
afford to Marry on fifteen hundred a year
went to' his. lonely Dome — lonely , though
I peopled.thickly—and sitting down in_ his
desolate chamber, &canted of the • sweet
picture of domestic felicity he

Disunion Years Ago,.
The abolitionists, says a cotemporary,
are entitled to a large share of the odium
of the doctrine of disunion and secesion.
As early as the third of March, 1843,when:
the question of the 'annexation • of Texas
was pending. Josh.' Q. Adams; John • R.'
Giddings - and -otlier abnlitionn-ts . ;ben in
Congress,isued an address to the I people•
of the free States of the Union,' in which
they said: - . • -
"We hesitate not to say that annexa
tion, effected, by any act or. proceeding of
the Federal overnment or. any •ofits.De
partments, would be indentieal. with disso 7
lution. It would`be a violation' of our
national compactits ohjects,designs,and
the great elementary principles which en
teied into its foundation—of a character
so deep and fundamental, and would be:
an attempt to authorize an institution and
a power of nature so unjust. in themselves,
so injurious to the interests, and. abhor
rent to the'feelings, of the. people of the
Free States as, in our opinion, not only
inevitably to result in a disSolutiou of the
linion;•but.fully to justify it; and we only
assert that the people of the Free' States
'ought not to submit to it;' but we say,
With confidence,. they. would not submit.
to-it:'
Here was a distinct and deliberate dec-.
laration,that the admission of Texas would .
not only: lead - to disunion, but •_would aim°
'fully justify it'—also that ,the free States
'ought-not to, submit to
and
