Eight long months have passed, and I can scarcely yet believe that she is indeed gone I have left and : returned to my desolate hearth-stone and found i j,er (,(. I used to do so, and when she was not there, my chamber looked deserted in vain the fire blazed cheerful on the hearth, or the evening sun gleamed through the window, and my books lay upon tho table ; I could not read ihem. I could not sit down I restlessly wandered from room to room till she returned, and restored light and hapiness to my apart ment, and I could sit .till my nervous rest lessness being allayed by her presence and quiet joy diffused through my heart and read, i m.. .. :r ..i write, or pursue my UUSIUOS9. iviy wue a cuuui- . u(ij was uiy aiuuv, uiy umto ui i , 1 ...A.. ..... .r ill lui.imxn the prattle or noise of my children disturbed me not--it only served 10 booth my constitution al and restless impatience.

An angel' hps could not have spoken more sweeily, nor smiled so affectionately---for an angle could not tiave Known ine icming u. a uy g . ....... yife and mother. Ho could not know them, and could not give expression to them. She was the companion of my earliest youth -the stay, the guide, the comforter of mv ma ture years ; and I had fondly believed, would close my mortal eyes, and continue to live af ter me, the guide of those equally near and dear to us both. From the begining the most miserable ormen, she had made me the most happy for a score and more of years. She had wiped the tears of sorrow from my eyes, when I wept upon her neck as an infant, in unspeak able anguish and despair, and bade me remem ber, that " the days of darknes3," though many, would not be perpetual. Her own heari seemed never io be darkened the shadows of life passed lightly over it, and left no trace behind, like the clouds fluting across a bright sky, which only leave it more smiling and beautiful. Perpetual cheerfulnes, and good temper, and good sense, and good feeling, and high prin ciple reigned there which eanh could not con laminate or darken. No cloud ever shaded her serene sky, except the shadows cast from the gloomy spectres that ever and anon passed over my own. She was one " among ten thou sand, altogether lovely." And yet I did not duly appreciate her. How bitterly do I regret the pain 1 have given her --how bitterly remember words of unkindness and peevishness. I would that I could for get them, but I connot the more I try the more they cling to my memory. Reader, hast thou a wife ? Then love and cherish her be kind, and do not be peevish. Thou know cst not what a treasure thou hast; perhaps thou canst not fully know thy casket, like mine, is broken, and the jewel is no more till then thou wilt not know its whole value. Hst thou a wife ? Again I say love and cherish her. I would that I could speak to every man in the wide world, I would but repeal the same words. Presb. of the West. The National Intellegencer publishes a let ter from Gcvernor Burnett, of California, in which he says : "Our country has neglected and even oppres sed us ; but there is not in our hearts one feel ing of revenge, or one sentiment of enmity. We feel as dutiful children towards a kind pa rent, who has for once been in error, but whose uniform kindness we have so long enjoyed that we can never forget it. We can only complain, that our wrong miy be redressed ; but, as for making war upon our country, oh, never." Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.'- There is no earthly object that 1 so idolize as that Union." Thai's lhe talk. Cape May. It is asserted that the total number of visiters al Cape May, during last summer, was seventeen thousand. Putting the expense of each at an average of 820, we have a sum total of $300,000 expended in three months in that remote part of New Jersey, Cure For Summer Complaint. The following recipe by a lady is said to be an effectual and certain remedy for summer complaint " Take one pint of new milk, one stick of ciuamon, three tablespoons of fresh mutton tal low, melted ; one lablespoonful of starch. Boil to a half a pint. To be taken at one or two do ses, as the stomach will bear. It will be more palatable if taken warm. Tho above never has failed to cure, even when given ovor by the physician. Very many instances of children teething have been cured of the bowel complaint by using the same." A Negro Woman without Ears. The Rev. B. Benton, in a letter to the Lon don (Va ) Chronicle, says : Strange, but not less true, I yesterday saw a colored woman without ears ; not only was she without the auricle or "the external pait of the ear, but there is no trace of a foramen or pasage for sonorous vibration the meatus is entirely closed, yel she can converse with oth ers, and distinctly hear the words, for which purpose she opens her mouth. Now, is the sound transmitted to the brain by means of the tympanum, or does it act on the auditory nerves without the intervention of the drum and appen dant organs? This is an interesting question for physiologists. The woman belongs to Mr. James Broaddus, near Caroline Court House. r"I say Pete, does you know how dey keep oysters from smellin' in de hottest ob wedder ?"
