THE TWEEE WIVES.
Mr. Jecluthud Spike was an eccentric bache
lor of fifty. His mother died in giving him

died with her, for from that hour the hhpless
Jeduthun seemed te'llave no perception of

-where the cook and attendants were of his own
sex, and ignored the address of his laundress'
His predispositions against matrimony were
Confirmed and strengthened by the fate of the
brother alluded to, who married somewhat
Into in life, and after ansinhappy connexion of
seven years! duration, left his widow, a per
manent inmate of-an insane. asylum, and - his
three boys to the guardianship of their uncle.
Tlin recipient of this unexpected legacy, who
had till then loved nothing in the whole of his
miserable life, felt - a - strange pleiisure in the,
duties of this new and unsolicited relation.
The docility with which the little fellows ac
commodated themselves to the, oddities of-the
eccentric humarist,_their unquestioning faith
in hie most Startling dogmasi, and their artless;
exhibitions - cif poriiinal attachment, won upon
his isolated-nature to,a degree that surprised
himself. It seemed that these helpless chil
dren were destined uncouscinnsly to fulfill°
the lonely old-man that feminine mission with
out which human life is a failure, and happi
ness a myth. With a devotion and patience
hardly to be expatcl of him, lie reared the
fragile boys to manhood, gave them all needful
advantages of books, and schools, and pocket•
money, and at last saw them aIl established in
_business, and-in-a -wapdo-credit-to-them--
selves and their connexions. Judge, alien, of ,
his painful astonishment when all three waited
upon him in a body, to nniounce that they
had jointly and severally formed the audacious
resolution of committing matrimony. ' Neither
would have dared approach the subject alone,
and though countenanced by each other, they
felt so much gratitude, reverence, and compas
sion for the prejudiced old man, that they
fairly trembled for the result.
When the confession was made to Mr. Jedu
tioni Spike, he turned his haeld on the agitated
young men, and walked quickly to the win
dow. After standing silently for some minutes'
ho turned and said very calmly: .
"Well boys, I have nursed you through the
measles, and the scarlet-fever, and the whoop
ing-cough, and I did my hest to alleviate what
I could not prevent. You are now the vi: time
of a diseash quite as general as the other, and
t for which there is no remedy but experience
...Neither precopt_nor exiiiiite"—here his lips
qtrivCred slightly—" have been of any avail in
your case. Go, then, and marry, if you will
give my full oonrut, on one condition only.
It -4 that you nil present yourselves in three
yeafs from Able day and hour, and declare
Solemnly, upon the worth of your remaining
manhood, whether you are unhap44 why.
The causes of Misery in';fiery
various, but the result is uniform. I will ex
cuse you now, boys, as I have an appointment,
with my tailor."
It is needless to say tltnt tim three ntifih i ews
availed themselves of the ,permission thus
unwillingly given, and that any self-reproaches
they might feel rft defeating tha cherished
wishes of their, ' kindest ' benefactor, did not,
. seriously embitter the lioney-M'oon. The three
years that followed stole a handful of grey
hairs froin the held forehead of Jeduthun
'Spike, and; as if ashamed of the theft, secretly
restored them hidden among the chestnut leeks
of his.young relations. -And as a farther •es'.
Motion, the stone eilsnt agents transferred

his reluctance, lie replied:
"It is is bitter dose to swallow, I confess.
Uncle, you aro revenged."
There was n slight movement of surprise,
for Mrs. Henry Spike was recognized as decid
edly notable.
"•I thought," said the uncle, drily, " that
yours was &pattern wife."
"Only too much so," returned the nephew..
" It is my.belief that she was modelled upon
the most approved patterns and made nib
order. If ever there was a'machitio for per
forming mechanically every col:v[lrd virtuoi
it is Mrs. Ilenry,Spike. She never loses her
temper; indeed, I doubt if •alto has any to
lose. She never betrays nuy flutter of vanity
or wounded feeling,,,To the calmness of a
statue, she adds an instinctive _perception of
decorum, a rigid adherence to rectituslec'.l
leaves nothing to hope or fear, and very little
to enjoy. Nothing can diturlt her. When
our infant was dangerously ill, she moved
about-his cradle with the canto unperturbed
Composure, and dropped his last cordial, as we
thought, into the cup with an untrembling
hand."
't I hardly sec how you came to marry her,'
remarked Edward, par parenthive.
" She was pretty, and 1 mistook her natural
,roses for blushes, and her silence for deli Cato
reserve. I was muck 4 moved whea--uhmonce

wound up at birth, and, her heart pulsates

THE STO.RIII 1703
For ono hundred and fifty 'years past an
annual sermon has been preached in the •Bap
ist meeting house, Little Wild street, Londgpv
on the twenty-seventh of Noyeufber, in com
memoration of the extraordinary- storm of-
November 27, 1703, which' was.constjerecl the
most terrific tempest:throughout Europe which
the world has known since the universal'
deluge. Its moral lessons were considered so
important tliat . a member of the church left a,
'um" of money the interest of which ehould
be appropriatcd,forever to surport a sermon
Vii — eneli anniversary of - the event, which is,
usually delivered by some of-the most-eminent
'ministers in the British metrop,olls, and. has
obtained the name of'"" The Storm Sermon."
Several of them have been printed.
The late Dr. Samuel Stennett; a pastor or
the Little Wild street Church, and author of
the hymns which bear his name, in his printid
sermon on the subject, in endeavoring to ac
count-for the storm, says that, "having most
probably token its rise in America, it made its
may across the western ocean, and, oollectitig
confederate matter in its passage over the
seas, spent its fury on those parts of the world
whither. his army of terrors" was principally
.commissioned." A strong west wind set in
about the middle of the mouth, the force of
which increased every day till the 27th. en
the 24th the storm commenced, which reached
its height three days afterwards. The vio•
lence of the wind produced a hoarse, dreadful
noise, like one continued peal of thunder, and
the' excessive • darkness - of - the night added
horror to the scene
Many lives were lost, especially in London,
not a few meeting death, in its mast terrific
forms. And grOnt, indeed, was the loss' of
property. In London end its i vicinity more
on eight hundred dwelling houses were laid
in ruins, above two thousand chimneys fell to
the ground, end the lead which covered the
roofs of one hundred churchett yin., rolled up
and bustled in prodigious quantities to great
distunoes.!'
Nor ;cies the devastation lees throughout
the country. In one extensive plain on the
banks.ofthe Severn not lees than fifteen thou
sand sheep wore driven into the river and
drowned,; and in the county of Kent alone
Lipore . .tlian two hundred thousand 'trees were
torn up by the roots.
. The ravages of this awful storm were at sea
still more tremendous. It was computed that
pot less than three bundred`ships were entire
ly destroyed, among which were fifteen of the
British royal navy, containing more than two'
thousand seamen, who .. , 'sunk as lead in the
mighty waters," The whole loss of property
ryas estimated at four millions of pounds
money, of lives about eight thousand, and o
cattle without number.
Towards the evening of the twenty seventh
it pleased God gradually to abate' the severity
of the storm, till it became an entire calm;
and men left the retreats in which they had
takeii refuge to. view "the desolation which
God had mado'iti the earth." • It will bo read
ily supposed that this was done with a.variety
of feelings, in accordance with thpir ditTerent
characters. • •
In Many, oases those who had been most

THE; HANK OF' ENGLAND:
A correspondent of the N. Y, Observer says:
"I have been making..a most interesting, and,
instructive visit to the Bank of England. For
admission into thelnterierof this remarkable
building, to observe the operations of an insti
tution that exerts more moral and political
power than any sovereign in Europe, you must
have an order from the Governor - of the Bank,
and this was given to me through the Borings,
whose kindness, especially that of Mr. Stur
giss, I have constantly experienced." , The
Bank building occupies an irregular area of
eight acres of ground; an edifice of no archi
tectural beauty, with not one window toward
the streets, being lighted altogether from the,
roof 'of the enclosed areas. The ordinary
business -apartments - differ - from those in our
banks only in their extent, a thousand clerkEt
being constantly on duty, and driven with.
business at that: But to form en adequate
idea ofmhat the babk is, we must penetrate
lts_recesses, its vaults and offices, where we
shall see such operations as are not known in
Well street. I was led, on presenting my card
of admission; into a private room, where the
notes of the bank received yesterday were now
examined, compared with the entries on the
books,'and stowed away. The Bank of Eng—
land never issues the same note a second time. It
receives in the 'ordinary course of business
about £800,000,•er $4,000,000, daily in notes;
these are put up in - parcels' 'according to their
denomination, boxed up with - the date of their
reception•and is kept ten years: at the expir
ation of which period they are 'taken out end
ground up in the mill which I saw running,
and made again into paper. •
_ If in' the course of those ten years any
disputeln business or-law-suit tthould arise ,
concerning the payment of any note, the bank
can produce the identical bill. To meet the
demand for notes so constantly used up, the
bank has its 'own printers, its own engravers,
all at work under the some' roof; - and it even
makes the machinery by which the most of its
-own work is done. A 'complicated but beauti
futl operation - is a register extending from the
printing offices, which marks.. every sheet
which is struck- off,from the. press, so that the
printers cannot Print .II single sheet Of blank
notes that is-not recorded in the bank: On
the name principles ef expelness a shaft is
•
made to pass from one apartment to another,
connecting, a clock in sixteen business wings
of the estahlfshment, and regulating them with
such precision that the whole of them are al
ways pointing to the same second of ttxtie.
"In "another room was a machine exceed•
ingly simple for detecting light gold coins. A
row of them-drop 'oho by one upon a spring
scale : if the piece was urtheat:lndard weight,
tho scalnyose c to.a certain Ilight; and the coin
slid- off Upper ne lido into boil if less than
the standard weight, the scale rose to a Cer
tain height, and the coin slid off , upon the
other side. I asked the weigher_what_was
tho average number of light coins that came
into his hands, and strangely enouglibe said
it was a question he was not M o tored to
answer.
The next room I entered was that in which
the notes are deposited which aro ready for
issue.' 'We have thirty-two million pounds
sterljn thi s_ ream:. the . °filo en.r.emacked .to
me; " will you take a little of it ?' I told him
it Would be vastly agreeable, and ho handed
me s. million sterling, (about five millions of
dollars,) which I received With many thanks
for his liberality ; but ho insisted on my de
positing t uh him agaiti, ns it would be
hardly sarAto carry so much money into the
street. I very much fear that I shall never
see that money again. In a vault beneath the
floor was a director and the cashier, counting!
the
: bags of 'gold which men were pituhing
down to them, each bag Containing a thousand .
pounds sterling just from the mint. This
world of motley seemed to realize the fable of
Eastern wealth, and gave me new and strange
impressions of the magnitude of the business
done here, and the extent of the influence of
this one institution on the Commerce of the
world." •
HIGHLAND MARY
Highland Mary Ives Mary Campbell, from
Campbelltown, in Argyleshiro, and lived in
Colßalch], in -the humble situation of dairy-
Maid to Col. Montgomery. She also lived at
one time as nurserymaid in the family of
Burns' friend and patron, Given Hamilton,
where ho visited her. Mary bad gone to the
West,llighlands to make arrangements among
her friends for her .marriage with the poet,
and on her return to Greenock—where it was
appointed they should megt—she was seized
with a fever, 'of which she died, a few days
bofoi'o Burns over heard of her illness. This
was 'the cause of their sudden separation
Although Mr. Denham travels over some of
the groupds touched upon by "Heating Jack,"
yet nehe relates the incidents, many of them
unknown to the, general reader, we belleyeit
will repay for the time lost in the perusal:—
" Most people, most reasoning People," writes
fithrefle Denham, " nro more orles9 acquainted
with the bard's two beautiful effusions,—High

Heaven.". :Poor highland Mary was a beau
tiful, interesting end innocent young creature
—for humtin 'loveliness, goodness and great
noes .
"Can ne.tle In the lowly _

And ,though' brought up in humble\eireum
stances, Mary had charms which 'attracted
many 'veers ; "and" says Allen

There is somethitig exceedingly touching in
this phase of poor Burns' existence, and the
pathos and deep feeling evinCed in these two
admirable poems can well attest how the sen
sitive heart must. have writhed under the har
rowing affliction which wrenched the tender
est, dearest chords. Leng songs pall upon
the ear, and 'tis customary to abbreviate them
in singing; but I cannot see bow one link of
this sweet chain can be spared without morring

taste that can mutilate "Highland . Mary."'
A VALID.DEFECNCE.
Roaring Ralph Stackpole was one day ar
raigned before a country court in Kentucky,
On a charge °fliers° stealing, and matters
went hard against him,, his many offences in
that line having steeled the hearts- of all
against him, and tbo proofs . cehis - guilt. in
this particular one instance, being both strong
andmapifolk_blanylut mum and n 4441,11;
eye was bent upon the poor fellow, whin his
counsel rose 'to attempt a defence, which he
did in the following terms: ,
" Gentlemen or the Jury," said the man of
law—" here is a man, old Captain Ralph
Stackp'ole, indicted before you ottthe 'charge
of stealin' a horse, and the affair is purty - well
proved on him." .-Ifere there-was a murmur
beard throughout the 'court s evincing much
approbation of the counsel's:frankness. •
"Gentlemen of the Jury," continued the
orator, elevating his voice, "what, I have to
say. in *reply is, first, that the' man that', old
Captain Ralph Stackpole, - - did, in the year

letter from a lady in Pittsburg, which led to a
cot respondence, and"tben a visit en his part.
I The . courtship was, however, broken , off .by
tho "old folks," who put a veto on the pro
ceedings. Some time after the object of his
unrequited passion addressed him a note re.,
dewing her protestations of affection, and of
fering to elnpe,if desired. She fixed a time
for the affair to. ccute 'off; but as her father
wae opposed to the match, he wouhCfurnish
no funds for the necessary preparation, and
she hence suggested that her. adorer should
forward the needful. Ile promptly responded„
by transmitting $4OO by mail to her address,,
to procure jewelry, dresses, &0., &a. The
gentleman, at the appointed time arrived in
Pittsburg—having heard • nothing from the
