—what a paradise it would be !" Said
Andrew to himself, as he turned his eyes
from the clouded face of Mts. Lee, and
sat down, with knitted brows, and a u:00-
4 aspect.
Nut a word was spoken by - •ei:her.--
311 s. Lee was getting supper, and she
moved about with a weary step.
"Come," she said at last, with a side
glance at her husband.
There was invitation in the wrrd only,
none in the totem of Mrs. Lee. •
Andrew arose and went to the table.—
lie was tempted to speak au angry word,
but controlled himself, and kept silence.
lie could find no fault with the chop,
nor the sweet hove-made t.tead; nor the
fragrant tea.
.They would have cheered
his inwarctruan, if there had only been a
gleam or sunshine on the face of his wife.
He noticed that she did nut eat.
E. A. tOSE3
"Are you not well, Mary ?" The words
were on his lips, but he did
,not niter
them, for the face of his wife' -looked so
repellant,' that he feared an irritating re
ply. And so, in moody silence, the
twain kat together, until Andrew had fin
ished his supper, As he pushed his
chair. buck, his wife arose; and comusene
ed clearing off the table.
"This is 'purgatory!" said Lee to him
self, as he commenced walking the floor
of their'little breakfast, room, with his
hands thrust desperately away down in
his trousers' pockets, and his chin almost
touching his• breast. • .
After removing all the dishes, and
taking them into the kitchen, _Mrs: Lee
spread a green cover an the table, and
placing a freshly trimmed lamp thereon,
went out, and shut the door 'after •her,
leaving her husband alone with ' his •• un
pleasant feelings, He took a long, deep
wreath as he did so, paused in his walk,
stood still for a few =Meats, and then
drawing a r aper from his pocket, . sat
down by the table, opened the sheet and
commenced reading.. Singularly enough
the words on which his eyes rested were,
"Praise your wife." They rather tended
tt, increase the-disturbance of mind front
which he was suffering.
"I should like to find some occasion
for praising Mine.' How quickly •his
thoughts - expressed that-ill-natured sen
timent. But his eyes were on the page
before him, and he read on.
"Praise your - wife, man ; for pity's
sakp., give her a little enoottragement; it
wout hurt, her."
Andrew Lee raised his eyes from the
paper, and muttered, "Oh, yes. 'That's
all very : Praise is cheap enough,
p 4 t raise her for, what?' Nor being
sullen; and =king your houie the most
disagreeable place in the world?" His
eyes fell again to the paper'. - -
"She has made your home oomfortable,

Mrs. Lee-turned:her face toward her

"Do you think so ?". she asked,'quite

"What a question ?" ejaculated .An

What a strong light broke in upon the

You see, Sir, that whether we go for
or against Slavery anywhere; we naiist
follow Southern guides.. You may change
your pilots with the winds or the. cur
rents; but we, whose nativity, reckoned
wider- the North Star, has rendered us
somewhat superstitious, must be 'settled
for constancy in followingthe guidance of
those who framed the national ship and
gavi us the chart for its noble voyage:

carefully the testimony he h given on
the subject of the hostility—against the
South imputed to the Republican party,
as derived from the relations of-the rep
reseutatiyea of. the two parties at:this
capital. He. says that he has seen here
in the representatives of the lower South
ern States a most resolute and earnest
spirit of resistance to the Republican Par.
ty ; that he. perceives a sensible loss of
thdt spirit, of brotherhood and that feel

tog of loyalty together with that love for
a common country,. which are at last the
surest cement of the Union; so - that. Ti.
the present unhappy condition of affair.,
