as the virtues, the industry, the economy, and the
womanly excellence of the wife seemed to de
serve, yet she never repined.. I think one or two
instances of excess on the part of the husband
drew largely upon the forbearance of the wife,
butos even the excess was accompanied with ex.*
pressiodß of affection—they, though maudlin,
seemed to compensate. The feeling, then, was

*.The loss of property rendered necessary more

- kept him more from bis home than formerly ; but
the gentle welcome of the wife cheered the toil:
1 Wore husband, and her delicate caress chaoged
•the gloom setting on his brow into smiles of sat
isfacuon. There was perhaps more pleasure in
v the efforts which she was making, to produce the
evidence of gratification in her husband, than there
• • was in the exchange of smiles *of welcome and
thanks.
The wife grew proud of her influence to bring <
; him ba6k to enjoyment; she felt a new conse

reciprocate smiles but dispel- frowns; not only
share in the pleasures, of Horne, but dismiss the
p&ins. How holy is the office of a good wife, and

: highest gratification fay producingthe happiness

to watch for-his approach, and to meet him with

- looked anxiously to the left, and stretched her eyes
along the road in hope that some token of his
approach would, be presented. Bat there was

Even the dogs that had followed her out tailed
g*yenotice of his coming. She leaned over
the railing with distrustful hope—ho would come
Soon and would repay her for all her anxiety by

domestic happiness of so many families; and like
a tfoe wife she suffered the lusrre of her own pu*

- She Was startled from her revery of delight and
by an unusual outbreak ol noisy bebauch*

her epron to her eyes, but there were no tears ;

.... She had felt as a woman, regret for the loss of

her child—and anxiety had . been felt for some i

Hannifmcno, March 15, 1851,
Well, tfae bill to abolish tbe Canal Board is as
dead as a mackerel. It received, its quietus.on
Friday by a pretty decisive vote, on its indefinite
postponement. The debate on it was warm trad
animated, and at one time the probability was that
the bill would pass. The fierce assaults made
upon it by the “ Pennsylvanian” and other papers,
however, produced an impression rather unfavor
able to it, and it now sleeps with the things that
were. ■ . .■ •■••• ■- .
Mr. Penmman, who originated the bill, defends
*d it with much ability, although his speech on
Friday morning was rather a defence of himself
than the bill. He came down on the Pennsylva
nian like a “thousand of brick,” as well as upon
several other papers. He was. followed by Mr.
Scofield, who nobly vindicated the right of the
press to discuss all matters of a legislative char
acter. He contended that it was the only outside
influence which he recognised, and which could
legitimately be brought to bear upon any bill
He denounced the bill before the House as Feder
al in its tendencies—being designed to concentrate
power rather than to divide. He called it a roy«
al bill, and designated the proposed superintend*
ent as the “ Canal King.” The vote was taken
upon amotion fonts indefinite postponement, and
carried in tbe affirmative by a handsome majority
The bill to re-charter the Kaaton Bank, next
came up in order, and strange to say, with a Dem .
ocratic majority of twenty-one in the House.it
passed. It was an impression of mine, gleaned
from the same source from which I first imbibed
tbe principles of Democracy, that a cardinal prin
ciple of tbe party was opposition to the Banking
system. Perhaps !am wrong, and if so, am wil
ling to stand corrected; but such certainly was
and is sull my impression. Perhaps I have taken
a Rip Van Winkle sleep, and have waked up sev
eral generations ahead.
The ten hour bill was next called up ' Mr
Broomall, of Delaware, got the floor, and evident
ly felt determined that no vote should be had up,
oo non that day. He scarcely touched upon the
merits of,the bill, but confined his remarks to
ridicule of the ignorance of the Philadelphians
He told some droll anecdotes of them, and kept
the House in a continual roar during the whole of
the time he was Bpeakmg. He accomplished his
purpose by speaking until the hour of adjourn
ment arrived.
This morning the bill to revise the militia sys
tem was made the order of the day It passed
through a Committee of the Whole, but was de»'
feated afterwords by a motion to postpone indefi- ;
mtely, which prevailed. I waß sorry to see this
bill disposed of m snch a summary manner. It
was elaborately prepared and designed to remedy
entirely the defects of the old system: Every de
partment was provided for, and, had it passed, we
should have had (what we realty ought to have,)
the most complete and effective militia system in
the Union. However much the militia may have
been ridiculed in times past, we have all learned
to know that to cases of emergency they have
ever proven tbe right arm ol our defence We
have always had a militia system of some kind,
but now we have aone. The time may come
(though all must hope it will not,) when the
want of a militia system will be sorely felt It
was a maxim ot one of our greatest and best
Statesmen and Generals that “ in time of peace
we should prepare far war.” Although we trust
that the day when the services of our citizen sol
diery will be needed .may be far distant, in this
strange age there is no telling when they may be
called into nction.
The bilt was prepared by Gen. Brindte, of Ly.
coming, who has always manifested the deepest
interest in all that relates to the military interests
of tte State, and who deserves much credit for
the pains he took to ..prepare -o comprehensive a
bill. It is to be regretted that it did not meet
more favorable consideration. '
Your distinguished .fellow towusman, Judge
Lowne, is here. Ho is winning golden opinions
with the Democracy, and the unanimous voice is
that he must be the Western candidate for the
Supreme Judgeship. The fact is, the matter is
all fixed so far as the wishes ot the people go;
and 1 hope to hear that he is nominated by the
Harrisburg Convention without a dissenting voice

TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA
. Tha t business of iite'Which directly 'occupies. the ■

coucienscious man.-There ia no art oreciende in The
whole circle of human .■ knowledge; which presonis,'
for exploration,.so expansive end interesting a field
as Utat of praotical bgricnjlure, nor one whose dis- ;
coveries already.made have been so little infased
into the ordinary stock of. knowledgeofthoSe who'
ore actually engaged in it, daily and universal oper
ation. The farmer knows tho necessity, for ; plongh. ;
mg his land, but he does not think and sufficiently
understand why her ploughs it; and the latter is quite
as important as the . former,that he may knowhow .
■to plough trill. That mannrb will enrich the soil is
n fact; bat to know what it is, how.and when to use/
it, and how it contributes to the growth of plants, is
that kind of' knowledge which .is only, second to
■the factitaelf. - Tho farmer has a certnin arnouut of
knowledge of seed time and sowing; but if hature’B
operations in the germination brseed and the growth
of plants were to'spme extent Infosed into bisdaity 1 '
observations and re flections, his.vigorousandever ac
tive mind would strike oat snmepew path in his own
pursuit, leading to that profitable result which cm
only be attained and relied'upon, when; it ican; be
traced to the.blended' source of theoretical -reason
and practical experience. ..
The appeal which we now make to those who aim eh*
engaged in the bttaincss'of agricnilurc.and toiall who
npprecialeits importance, is not that yba shiill for a
moment relax those every day occupations of active
life to wbichyou, arc accustomed, add which, ! provoN
