BI TLER, PA., VVKDNBSD \Y. JAN* AKY 5. 18SI [From H%rp er ' B Monthly for D.ve'ub°r J MRS. FLINTS MARRIED EX-\ PERIENCE. Mutters went on in this way for five a every day being a little more .veary and dreary than the preceding, tie plum col ored paduasoy stjll did uty as the Sunday gown, for none of •c .wi» money ever passed into .Mrs. lint's hands By this time .-he un -io<»d tullv what this ante-nuptial .tract meat. Shr only in this way could she get her living' Her only vivid pleasure was u occasional visits from Ede and Syl via—lovely little creatures in whom .heir mother's beautiful character and heir father's cheery, genial nature -eeraed to combine, aud with so much if Mindwell's delicate lovelines-, her sweet dark eyes contrasted with the fair hair of their father's family that jo grandmotherly eyes they seemed uTiectly beautiful. For them th poor woman schemed, and toiled and .;rew secretive. She hid a comb of toiiey sometimes, when the deacon's '>ack was turned, aud kept it for Syl via, who loved honey like a real bee bird ; she stored up red pearmains in the parlor closet for Ede; and when Sam Pratt went into Hartford with a • .ad of wool, aud brought the children >s far as Bassett to stay at Deacon Kiioi's over night, the poor woman would make for them gingerbread such »s they remembered, and savory cook ont this time a cousin of Deacon Flint's died 'over in York State,' as he said, and left him pruard ian of her onlv daughter, a girl of eighteen. A couple of housand dol lars was all the property that the wid ow Elridsfe had to give her child, for they had both worked hard for their living after the husband and father left them, and this money was the price of ! the farm which had been sold at his death. It was something to get so much cash into his own hands, ami the deacon accordingly wrote at once to Mabel and offered her a home in his house, intimating that the interest of her money not being enough to board and clothe her. he would, out of family ' affection, supply these necessities for that inadequate sum, if she was will ! ing to help a little about the house. Mabel was friendless enough to grasp eagerly this hope of a home, and very soon the stage stopped at Deacon Flint's door, and a new inmate entered his house. Mabel Elridge was a capable, spirit ed, handsome girl, and before she had been a week in the Flint family under stood her position, and resolved only to endure it till something better could be found. In her heart she pitied Aunt Flint, as she called her, as mu<*h as she detested the deacon, and her fresh girl ish heart fairly ached with compassion and indignation over the poor woman. But she was a great comfort and help , while she staid, and though she made that stay as short as possible, and ut terly refused to give up her savings bank book to the deacon, who was un able legally to claim it, since her mother left no will, having only asked him, in a letter written ju.-t lie fore her death, to act as Mabel's guardian. Her three mouths' sojourn in the house made her thoroughly aware of Deacon Flint's character and his wife's suffer i gs. She could not blame Mrs Flint that she snapped back at the deacon's snarls, or complained long and bitterly of her wants and distresses. You don't know uothing what !t is. Mabel!' she said one day, sobbing bit terly. 'l'm put upon so hard I want for clothes, and for vittles, and for some time to re-t, so's't I don't know but what 'twi'll clean kill me ; and if twa'n't for the children, I'd wish to die; but I do cleave to them amaz ingly.' Indignat tears filled Mabel's eyes. I don't know how you bear it aunty,' she said, putting her arms about the old laOy's neck. Can't you get away from Lirn anyhow ?' 'I could, but I suppose I hadn't ought to. There's a house on my farm that ain't goin' to be in use come next Apri 1. lliram Smith, him that's rent ed it along back, wants some repairin' done on't, and Mr Flint won't hear to't. so Ili he s been and gone and bought a piece of ground acrost the road, an' put up a buildiu' 'or himself. He's got a long lease of the land hut tn- don't want the house 110 more and he won't pay or't. I s'pose I might move there for a spell, and have some peace; there's enough old furnitoor there that was father's; hut then, agin, I do suppose I haveu't no right to leave my husband.' •Haven't you got any right to save your life?' indiirnantly asked Mabel. 'lt ha'n't come to that, not quite,' said M rs. Flint, sadly. But before April she began to think it was a matter of life and death to stay ny longer with the man Mabel had left her some months before, and gone into the family of Sam Piatt's m-'ther, in Colebrook, promising her aunt that if ever the time came when she needed her in another home, she would come and take care of her. Toward the middle of February Mrs. Flint was seized with congestion of the lungs, and was very ill indeed. A fear of public opinion made Deacon Flint send for the doctor but nothing could induce him to let a nurse enter the house, or even to send for Mind well Pratt. He was able to do for his wife, he said, and nobody could inter fere. It was the depth of winter, tind the eomtuunication between Basset and Colebrook was not frequent in the best weather, neither place bein the two rooms, while best of all, truder hands fed and soothed the poor woman, and soft filial kisses comforted her starved soul. Mindwell c uld not stay—there was a little baby at home—but Sam would he left behind while old Israel drove her back to Cilehrook, and fetched Mabel Eldridge to take her place. M»b hurst into a passion of tears when she entered the kitchen. 'I knew it!' she sobbed; 'I knew that old wretch would kill her!' And it was long before Siun could calm her anger and grief, and oring her into the invalid. In the course of two or three weeks, however, Mali's faithful nursing, and Sam's care and providin, brought bark life and some strength to the perish ing woman And meanwhile Polly's tounge hail wagged well ; fl<-w all over Bassett that Deacon Flint's wife had left him, and ului st died of cold atitl trunvvr. To-day such a rumor would have had some direct effect oil its object, but then to find fault with authorities was little less than a sin, and for a wife to leave her busbaud, a fearful scandal. In spite of the facts and all their wit nesses, the sentiment of Bassatt went with the deacon. Conjugal subjection was the fashion, or rather the princi ple and custom, of the day, and was to i>e upheld ill spite of facts. However, Parson Koberts by this time had heard of the matter, and called deacrtn Flint, to account, thinking it to be his duty. 'This is the bull sum and substance on't, parson,' exclaimed the deacon: 'Miss Flint is a miserable, hystericky teuiale, a dreadful weak vessel, aud noways inclined to foller Scripter in the marriage relation, I've given her the same livin' 1 had myself. I hain't denied her food an' raiment, where with she had ousrbt to !>:• content, as the 'Postle Poll savs: but she is real peniekitv, and given to th lusts of tLie fle.-h about her eatiu,' and I feel it my uutv to 0e a faithful stooard of my substance, and not poni|)er up our poor perishin' bodies, while there is forty million more or less o' heathen ereaturs Ivin' in wickedness in foreign parts. Ye know, parsons, I hain't never stented uiv contributions to them things; I've been constant to means of! grace alius, and I may say ■ pillar—j mabbe a small and creaky one, but J stil! a pillar in the temple, such as > 'tis. 1 don't kuow as I had ought to be disturbed by this strife of tongues.' Parson Roberts was a little con foutided. He himself loved a bit of good eating—a cantle of chicken pie, a tender roast pig, a young chicken broiled on hickory coals, or a succulent shad from the Connecticut, washed down with sparkling cider or foaming flip—and the consciousness of this mild weakness gave undue exaltation to Deacon Flint's boasted asceticism. The parson was too honestly humble to see that Deacon Flint loved money with a greed tar surpassing that of any epicure ; that his own fault was but a failing, while the other was a passion. Besides, be considered that Mrs. Flint bad made light of the sacred or dinance of marriage, and set au awful example to the wives of the parish; so he went away from this interview con vinced that the deacon was a stern 1 saint, and his wife a weak sinner. Next day, however the deacon him sell was surprised by another visit. Pale aud worn, clinging tight to Sam ' Pratt's arm, and followed by Mabel carrying a cushion, his wife entered kitchen, where he sat devouring salt pork and potatoes with the zest of a dog who gnaws his bone uumoles'ed. ; 'I come back, Amasy, to see if we couldn't agree to get along together again,' she said, weakly and meekly. '1 hear there's been considerable talk about my leavin' on ye, and I don't want to cst no reflections I was tired all out, an' 1 wanted to rest a spell. Sam an' Mab have nursed me up, so't I could get aloug now, I guess.' The man turned his cold green grey eyes on her slosvly. t 'l don't know what you want to come back for ; now,' he said. 'Why, I want for to do my duty so far as I can.' •You had oughter have considered that afore you went off,' was the dog ged answer. Tears ran down the poor woman's face; she could not speak. Mable's beautiful eyes blazed with wrath ; she made a step forward ; but Sam Pratt gently put her back, and said : 'Look here, Deacon Flint Mot er left you because she hadn't food, nor care, nor nothing she needed, nyther when she was sick nor when she was gettiu' better. She thought a s|>ell o' rest would do her good; she knowed by that smart contrack you got out of her that you owed her a liviin' any how, and you hain't done a thing to'rds it sense she went to her own house Now I don't call that con duct honest by no means, much less Christian.' 'Judge not, Samwali I'ratt. Scrip ter no less'u statoot law commands a wife to be subject to her husband. Sarepty had what I had. i done what I jedged best for her, and instead of submit tin to her head, she up and went off to live by herself, aod left me to along as 1 could. I wa'n't no wav bound by no law nor no contrack to supply her with no means so long as she went away from her dooties, and made me an astonishment an' a hissin' in Israel, so to speak.' 'Stop right there!' broke in Mable, furious. -I've beard say the devil could fetch Scripture to further his o*n purposes, and I b'lieve it Didn't you have no duties to your wife? Don't the bible say you've s*ot to love and chirish her? Dont tell me! I lived here long enough to see you starve and browbeat and torment her ; 1 know your mean, hateful, crabbed ways, and 1 don't know how she lived with you so long. She ought to have run away years ago, and il folks do hiss at you, it's more'u time they did. Christian! —>/ou a Christian! You're a dyed-in-the-wool hypocrite. If vou're pious, I hope I shall lie a rep robate ' 'I ha'n't no doubt hut what you will be, young woman,' answered the dea con, with cold fury. -You'd ought to be put under the pump this ininnit for a common scold. (Jet out of my house right of!' And with this he advanced upon lit-r. lint Sam Pratt, lifting the old lady in his arms, carried her away, and" gently shoved Mable, glowing with rage, before them till they reach ed the wagon. Then he himself went back and tried to make terms with the deacon. At last, moved by the word- Iv wisdom of Sam's argument, that it would put him in a bad light before people if be refused to do anything for his wife, lie di . agree to let her have half of his shore of the produce from her farm, it Sam and Mitidwell would provide for her other wants; and making the best ot a bad bargain, tLe poor woman retired to the old house, which Sam had repaired so that most of it was habiiab'e ; and Mabel, who had agreed to teach the district school the next year, took up her abode with bfer Td ffr C TdnTPnuml.

She is the head of the Church; she convenes and dissolves all ecclesiastical synods aud convoca tions, and nominates to vacant bisho prics and other Church offices. She sends ambassadors to foreign states,re ceives ambassadors at home, makes treaties and alliances, and declares war and peace, though her power in these respects also is in a large degree limit ed by the power of Parliament to en act or reject such laws as may be necessary to make it effective. Previous to the Revolution of 1688 the government of England was main ly carried on by virtue ol what was called the royal prerogative, that is by the King in person, with the advice of ministers appointed by himself, who were only responsible to their sover eign for their management of public affairs. One of the results, however, of that revolution was the transfer of the power of the state from the crown to the House of Commons. Instead of a government by prerogative, there was then established a government by Parliament, from whom all laws must emanate, requiring only the approval of the crown as a condition of their enactment. As is well known, the Queen ap points her own adviseis,irrespective of the wishes or approval of Parliament, and though popularly the Ministry is supposed to possess the whole execu tive power, no important measure is presented by them to the consideration of Parliament without her sanction and approval. It is not, however, essen tial that all acts and mea ures should be presented to Parliament through the channel of the Ministry, and Par liament may originate anu pass acts at its pleasure, subject to the constitution al right of the Queen to nullify them by her veto. The Queen can convene Parliament and terminate its sessions at will. There has been but two instances in which the Lords and Commons have met by their own authority, namely, previous to the restoration of Charles 11., and at the Revolution in 1688. There is one contingency, however, upon which, under authority of law, Parliament may meet without sum mons. It was provided in the reign of Anne that in case there should be no Parliament in being at the time of the demise of the crown, then "the last preceding Parliament shall immediate ly convene and sit at Westminster, as if the said Parliament had never been dissolved ' Such a Parliament, how ever, by a statute in the reign of George 111., can only continue in ex istence for six months, if not sooner dissolved. This, then, is the power of the Queen She may, with the advice of her Ministers alone, assemble, pro rogue, and dissolve Parliament, de clare war, confirm of disallow the acts of colonial legislatures, give effect to treaties, extend the term of patents' grant charters of incorporation to com panies or municipal bodies, create ec clesiastical districts, regulate the Board of Admirality, and make ap pointments to offices in the various de partments of the State, c-eate new oifices and define the qualifications of persons to fill the same, and declare the periods at which certain acts of Parliament, the operation of which h;.s been left to the Queen and Coun cil, shall be enforced. With regard to the expenditure of money, it is express ly provided in the act of settlement, to which reference has been made, that money levied for the use of the crown without grant of Parliament is illegal. Thus the crown is entirely dependent upon Parliament for its revenues, but, though dependent, it has a direct control over all supplies when raised. The crown, acting with the advice of its responsible ministers, is charged with the management of all the reve nues of the country, and with all pay ments for the public service.
