Still he did not come, and she was growing very sleepy. She had promised her self never to sleep at variance with her husband, and never before eine() their marriage had she oilseed the good-night kiss upon her forehead, or the whispered blessing, their last parting word. She would dose a few minutes, and then go to him perhaps, she thought ; he surely would not thiuk of sleeping so. She was very tired, and it was very warm , and then one white round arm war thrown over the fair linen sheet, and with Snaked cheek, and lips slightly apart, the little lady forgot her ill-temper and vexation to gether. She woke from an unhappy dream with a fey. erish start, a moment after, as she thought as Snit. But the rooms were quite dark, and there was no sound but a monotonous ticking of the watch under the pillow A rush of ree ' ()Betio(' succeeded the troubled waking, and she put out her arms to be sure she was nor dreaming still—that it was really so late. Her husband's pillow was empty ! She thought of the lounge by the window in the dressing-room ; be certain ly could not intend to sleep there, away from her, all night! A grieved sorrowful feeling took the place of the first resentful thoughts ; mid then pride came back spin, as a sound from the next room confirmed her suspicions. It was her husband turning restlesay upon the lounge, with a long, sobbing sign, as it even in his sleep he felt their estrangement, The first impulse, Ito go to him, to kneel down and wind her arms around him, and ask his forgiveness, was resisted. It was certainly unkind in him to go to sleep without kissing her good night; she should have wakened if he had, and then it would have been all right, A long, rolling crash of thunder broke in upon her reverie : the glare of lightning which accompanied it revealed the lounge and its occupant, and then came a deluge of rain, and she beard the wind beating down the shrub bery before the window The easements were both op. u, the rain came drenching in upon the ut'w Hru.sels carpet, the upon the centre. tablc, her work basket ; end there was Alfred, for whose health she had been so anxious, expos ed to the wind and dampness Should she go and close the casement? No that might waken him, and he would think she had given up to him ; besides, she shrank from crossing the rooms at Intlinight, lighted' retry by those lurid flashes in the black, angry heavens Poor, wretched little wife, miserable indeed in her self torture, lyine upon her " widowed marriage pillow," and lo.tet,ing with straining ayes to the crumb of the storm without, and the heavy breathing of the sleeper near hPr ' Harder than all to bear was the upbraiding conscience, and the dreary lone lines. of the empty room. But, with all this, sbe sank again into a disturbed, unquiet sleep; end when she woke again, the cold, sickly day. light was stealing through the room. At first she could scarcely recollect what had happened ; but, as she sat up leaning upon her elbow, she saw her ornaments thrown in oonfu sine upon the dressing-table, her dress upon the carpet, Alfred's deserted pillow, with the smooth fold of the linen undisturbed, and there be was lying, breathing so heavily that her fears over come her self-will, and she called him to her side But there was no answer but a half moan of pain as he threw his arms out wildly, as one In delir ium. She was at his side in a moment, lifting the damp masses of his hair, kissing his eyes, his feverish cheek, calling him by every endear ing name; but the submission had oome too late— be did not know her, and though he opened his eyes, it was only to close them again, as if the light was painful, with an indistinct, incoherent mutter She had never seen violent inners be. fore ; but she realised in a moment that the fev er she had so dreaded was upon him. The head achee—and he had belts detained in town only by a visit to his physician, which he did not I like to explain to her, fearing to aline his dar ling—bad been the preenreors of.a threaten ing malady, which the heat and sudden change of temperature, lying since the midnight by the open window, had developed rapidly. The cur tains, the eoneh, his clothes, his very hair, were drenched in the driving shower, through which be had slept heavily. Poor little wife! indeed, fearfully punished, as she watched many a long day and lonely nifht ere reason returned; Ilitening to his beseeching tones, begging her not to turn from him, not to be angry at such a trifle, to kiss him once more. And she did rain tears and kisses upon his burn ing forehead, his lips, his hair, without bushing those pleading entreaties that almost broke ber heart. 11 was a long, long trial; but reason came at last, and she sobbed with joy and thank fulness, as she had done with anguish and re more, when she caught the first eooseicrns glance, so full of love for her, the first faint murmur, " My own precious wife!" Henceforth they lived more wisely; and yeses after, when the wife was tempted to give utter ance to impatient moods, fretful and angry words died away on her lips, rebuked by rememberanos of that terrible agony, lest her husband should die with the words of forgivuess unspoken.

MOOILC, .aLiamiests Y?ORIW V, .. (Fran Um, ilreibiacton Calm.; The Wa— A n ges Laber—Mr. Baseasiaa old 's Views Oolong lltqwoeed. In the memorable presidential canvass of 1840, one of the charges against the democratic party by which the people wt ) sra-deceived into the support of the whig nom *Lions was the false allegation, that in advocating the independent treasury system the democrats favored the reduc tion of the wages of the laboring man to " ten cents a day." This, together with other ails representations equally unfounded, succeeded for the time being in effecting the overthrow of the democracy Within less than a year after that result, the people discovered the impositions which had been practised upon them, and there is sow not to be found on the statute-books one measure of general interest which was enacted by the Congress which was elected during the same temporary delusion in the popular mind which caused the defeat of the democratic can didate for the presidency. Experience has so fully , vindicated the wisdom of the independent treasury system, that it has become the settled policy of the government, and no man of any party is insane enough to disturb it. But whilst all men of all parties freely acquiesce in the independent-treasury policy, there are some who indulge the illusory idea, that because the people were cheated in 1840 by the false clamor about low wages they can be cheated again in 1856 in the same way As it was on a palpable mis representation of a speech of Mr Buchanan in support of the independent treasury law that the charge as to the reduction of wages was made, it is supposed that now, when he is the democratic candidate for the presidency, the same charge may be revived and pressed with equal success. So far from objecting to the renewal of this calumy, we are rather disposed to thank the State Gazette, of N J., and other kindred journals, fur the opportunity which they afford us of vindicating Mr. Buchanan's claims to wise statesmanship in the support cif that measure which has become part of the settled polley of the government. The "ten cent" charge had its origin in this wise: On the 22d of January, 1840, Mr Bn• chapati delivered a speech in the Senate in ftvur of the independent treasury bill, in reply to one by Mr Clay, of Ky , against it In that speech Mr Buchanan discussed the measure in its prac tical bearing upon the manufacturing interest and upon the currency tie eutnioed .6e leading objects of the independent treasury as follows : " Our chief Avow to adopting t 6 dent treasury are to disconnect the from all banks, to secure the peopi front the wreck of the banking aril have it always ready t promote the of the cauntry, in peace and defeat Incitlently, however, it will do 1101 checking the extravagant spirit of which is the bane of the country " In the first place, by requiring receipts and expenditures df the govt.t will create an additional demand for gold and silver to the amount of five millions of dollars per annum, accoiding to the estimate of the Pres ident. A large portiin of this sum will be drawn from the banks, and this will compel them to keep more specie in their vaults in proporti* to their circulation and deposits, and to bank less. This, so far as it may go, will strike at the root of the existing evil I fear, however, that it will prove to be but a very inadequate re straint upon excessive banking " In the second place, this bill will, in some degree, diminish our imports, especially after June 1842. I most heartily concur with the senator in desiring this result. What is the condition of the importing business at the pm cut moment It is almost exclusively in the hands of British agents, who sell all the manu• fsetures they can dispose of in other portions of the world, and then bring the residum hole to glut our markets. According to our existing laws, they receive a credit from the government to t h e amount of its duties. They sell the goods for eash; and this credit becomes so much capital in their bands to enable them to make fresh im portations The independent -treasury bill re quires that all duties shall be paid in gold and silver; and after June, 1842, the compromise law will take away the credits altogether. We shall then have a system of cash duties in oper ation, which will contribute much to reduce the amount of our importations and to encourage domestic manufactures. "In the third place, this bill will make the banking interest the greatest economists in the country, so far as the government is concerned. Their nerves of self-interest will be touched in economy, and this will induce them to unite with the people in reducing the revenue and expendi tures of the government to the lowest standard consistently with the public good." Mr. Buchanan regarded the United States Bank as the antagonist proposition, and on that subject be spoke as follows : " The Senator ridiculed the idea that the es tablishment of a new bank of the United States could prove dingerons to civil liberty. Such a bank, with a capital of from fifty to a hundred millions of dollars, with branches in every State of the Union, directing, by its expansions and contractions, when prices should rise and when they should fall, would be a most tremendous instrument of irresponsible power. It would be a machine much more formidable than this gov- ernment, even if the administration were as corrupt. as the fancy of some gentleman has painted. Mr. Randolph once said, "Male and female crested be them." Combine the moneyed aristocracy of the country, through the agency of a national bank, with theadministration, and their united power would create an influence which it would be almost impossible for the peo ple to withstand. We should never again see these powers in hostile array against each other. In the days of General Jackson we witnessed the exemption, not the rule. Give any President such a bank u I have described, and we shall hereafter have a peaceful succession. With all the power of the Executive, combined with all the wealth of the Country he would be the most arrant blockhead in the world if he were not able to re-elect himself and to nominate his successor. All the forms of the constitution might still remain The people might still be delued with the idea that they elected their Presi- dent; but the animating spirit of our free in stitutions would be goes forever. A secret, but ell pervading, moneyed legumes would sap the foundation of liberty, and reader it an empty iame. The immense power of such an inatkc am was manifested in the tremendous efforts which it made against General Jackson. Had he sot enjoyed more personal popularity in this ementry than any man who ever lived, times efforts would have proved irresistible. As it w as , the soelliet was of the meet portentous character and shook the Union to its centre.

But this I shall say: If experience should prove it to be impos sible to enjoy the facilities which well regulated banks would afford, without, at the same time, continuing to suffer the evils which the wild ex cesses of the present banks have hitherto entailed upon the country, then I .bould consider it the lesser evil to abolish them altogether If the State legislatures shall now do their duty, I do not believe that it will ever hec•nne necessary to decide on such an alternative " Mr Clay had charged that the fren.l; of tilt independent treasury desired t I reduce the wages of the laboring man As this is the charge which it is now sought to revirt., wo invite sive ial attention to Mr fluchansn'l reply. It was u follows: "We are also charged by the Senator from Kentucky with a desire to reduce the wages of the poor man's labor We have been often termed agrarians on our side of the house It is something new under the sun to hear the sen ator and his friends attribute to us a desire to elevate the wealthy manufacturer at the expense of the laboring man and the mechanic From my soul I respect the laboring man Labor is the foundation of the wealth of every country ; and the free laborers of the North deserve re spect, both for their probity and their Heaven forbid that I should do them wrong ‘. Of all the countries on the earth, we ought to have the most consideration for the la boring man. From the very nature of our insti tutions, the wheel of fortune is constantly revol ving and producing such mutations in property that the wealthy man of to-day may become the laborer of to-morrow. Truly wealth often takes to itself wings and flies away A large fortune rarely lasts beyond the third generation, even if it endure so long We must all know instanoes of individuals obliged to labor for their daily bread, whose grandfathers were men of fortune. The regular process of society would almost seem to consist of the efforts of one class to dissipate the fortunes which they have inberited, whilst another class, by their industry and economy, are regularly rising to wealth \V have all, therefore, a common interest, as it is our corn mon duty, to protect the rights of Ow laboring man; and if I believed far a rnotnect that this bill would prove injurious to hiai , i ghoul!' meet my unqualified opposition. • " Although this hilt will not have as great an influence as I could desire, yet, as far as it goes, it will benefit the laboring man as much, and probably more, than any other class of society What is it he'cught most to desire r Constant employment, regular wages, and uniform, reason able prices for the necessaries and comforts of life which be requires.
