Through the exposure at zecdatitypun my arduous duties, I was attack ed is Sovcrriber last with infloniation of the lungs, and was for seventy two days in the hospital. This was followed by peat debility, heit:htened by an Attack of dyseutary. I was then removed from the White Ilotese, and sent to this city on board the _steamer "Suite of Maine," from which I landel on the 28th, uf June. Since that time I have been about as low as, any one couid and still retain a spat kut vitality. For a wick or more _I was scarcely able to swallow anything, and if I did force a mensal down, it was immediately thrown up again. I could not even keep a & A ss of water on my stomach. ,Life could not last under these riicumstauces: and, accordingly, the, physi visas who had been working faithfully, though unsuccessfully to rescue me from the grasp of the dread Archer, frankly told me they could do no more for me, and advised me to see a c:ergymun, and to make such disposi tion-or my limits I funds as best suited toe.— AL acquaintance who visited me at the hospi tal, Mr. Frederick Steinoron, of Sixth below itch street, advised me, as a forlorn hope, to try your Bitter* and kindly procured a bottle.

By Grantelhis CHAPTER I. [A. Runic PrusE--13eforel Ohm ray,wilfe was married, She was a dainty, dame ; She'd hoe potatoes; beahs and corn, Make butter, cheese;:and cream; She'd hoe potatoes, beans and corn ? She'd milk her cowiand ewe"; And oiler all her work was done She'd spin her pound of to'y." There aro some few person's in the world who have it reca'appreciation of the' dignity 'An fteTa just pricle in labor, independent of , its emolument's—as much pride, no doubt, as the youthful hero feels at the head 'of a "forlorn hope ;" or as a young physi cian feels at the success of his first efforts in medical treatment ; ,or the -young' attorney, in obtaining the first favorable verdict" from a jury of his countrymen ; but; by far the larger por tion of mankind, only labor from neces sity—La necessity,se/f-imposed, SOMEl times, but, as atoll Coming from With out. Indeed, if thosewlio are now la boring in' this world would 'but "stop for a period long enough toireflect upon their motives` of action, it would' be found that by far the larger portion 'of them' are. laboring with.a reserved intent of one' day retiring entirely from labor, and passing the balance of tl`eir days in "rural-indolence and healthful ease." This is as largely the case among thOse of humble condition, as among the-more favoied of • the human -family—as ire tiuefit among the intelligent as among the illiterate 4, as 610.11 among the lus tic as among the romantic or the- ra tional. . more nielanchay still, this secret _intenV often looks to the consummation of that eventfurperiod of life in which .a twain ostensibly become one, for a realizatlon of its cireamings, and concentrates all its efforts and its energies, and puts its "begt foot fore most" in ultimating its thoughts and affections there. Possibly the 'greatest source of unhappiness in this world con sists in the false, the mistaken, or the merely selfish motives, which too often characterize those who have united themselves in a marriage union, or who conteMplate such a union 'at a remoter period_of life. And, although the canto of the rustic song which cpostitutenge introductory of this.chapter on - married life, contemplates a Ivernany yet,the lines are as? applicable -to.rc man;• for the deceptions Practiced :before mar riage, in order to accomplish unholy ends, and advance the most . mercenary interests, are as chargeable to _the one sex as to the,other—to man as ,to wo- man Ephraim Scraps and Sally,Screpings, were just as self-sacrificing, a= couple of industrious and economical individuals as could be found in the entire length and breadth of "Possum-Hollow" and "Coffee-Goss." Indeed - they were re garded, respectiiely; es the very divint ties of those favored localiies ; end-un sophisticated and frugal fathers' abri thets pointed with pride to Ephraim and Sally, as bright exatitplere'fortheir children to follow. No one ever dream . ed that their economy was ofthat quali ty that would "skin a flint stone fora six-pence_ and spoil a knife_ worth a shil ling," and therefore every body, accorded to them riches, a reasonaye old age, and retired ease in the evening of their lives. They had no time, to, fritter away at school, or in reading newspa pers, or attending lectures, or in writing to friends und relations, or in studying music; or-in anything else belonging to thelong , catalogne of accompliihments acid aCqulremeats, that are deemed such essential promoters of social life by many in 'this' world. With theta, it was "work —work —wOrk ; frold-weary, chime to chime," and "work—work—work—as prisoners work for :crime . ;" and to all .external appearance they loved to work for its sake alone. But netwlltikanding all • these ,favorable appearatices, , theY both had a little motive stored ap in a corner of their minds, which had foi object the deception of the unsuspecting outer world..

But they 'were deceiving each other ; ; for, the long and short of it was, that. Ephraim -saw that - ,all his hard work did not get him forward any farther than those who worked less and cultivated tbeir intellects the more, and this was precisely the case, also .with Sally ; and so each, resolved to "put the best foot foremost" iw continuing the deception, until it ended in marriage_; when the industry and frugality which each suppoeed - the other posSesse4d— from mere affection for leber-L*ctuld compeniate for any lack 'of thole quali ties, which might be resppetfvel3 , in themselves: Ephraim and Sally had -perhaps as`nencli real love forlabor and fingality es falls to the common 'lot of huManity, but their great' error lay in the fact that they did not labor from the right motives or ends ;'th'eir chief aim being to create an impi-ession'that their affections we're iirlabor; and' that' they did it from alove of use, and in.order that they might acconiodate others at the , same time that they were earning a livelihood for themselves ; whereas, their main otlject was to deceive..the c.ommuloity and thomselves—or rather each other—until the one should be united to an industrious and seltsacrifi- ring wife, and the other to a husband possessing the same qualities ; when each, respectively, counted upon taking their ease' for the rest of their, lives ; for, Ephraim thought that surely such industry asSally's, must bring a "pile" with it, and also increase that pile ; and this was precisely the same thought of Sally in reference to "Ephe." "That's a hard-Working boy,,,and deserves a good, bard-working wife, and some day he'll get such a one, depend upon it ; and then it won.'t be leng before they'll own one of the best farms in Possum-Hollow or-Coffee-Goss," was in the months of every body; except those most intimate ly acquainted with Ephraim, - who imag-' Aped that he was a little "slinking" in his work ; or at least that in fussing: to get forward, he was all the time slip ping, a little backward. Still, "Ephe" Scraps was always •!at it," lute and _early; although for the matter of that, he need not have been so late or so ear ly either, had he had sufficient fore thought or prudence to "have a place for everything and everything in its place ;" or have gone to night school, if he could not find time to attend day school, and have learned to "read, write and - cypher," if nothing else. But'no -Ephraim had Ito time oi , incliiiation for those things, which, 'according to his notion; were 'only for the rich, and ndt -for the poor, and so' be thought he'would first get rich himself and also get a rich 1- wile, and then it Would be time'enough to attend to these things. Filled - with thesd ides of life and its Uses, rphraith plodded-onward;alternately "ploughing and sowing, reaping and mowing" inter -spersed with raging, and threshing, and ,winnowing, and digging, and planting, and hoeing, and-gdlng to mill, and feed ing, and a thousand other lahors er taining to a farmer'S life ; too endless in' their enumeration to, be inserted here.' put any eye that should. have followed ,Ephraim thrOugh all his devious wind ings about a farm, could plainly .have - Been that he was too rlodding to bus "band his energies, or •concentraie his :Strength, or tO lighten his labor by enc.- 'nominal means but in - all yespects,, he must lift - the heaviest, stoop . the lowest, 'reach the highest,_ strain', ,the hardest, and walk the farthest, in everything be attempted to do. 4nd when,, out of his hard-earned dimes, ho made a purchase, he always paid more...thau. anybody else„ got rougher and coarser materialfTand ,was cheated mbre;la the change,- owing' ,to hialvant of .judgearent,-from utifig his intellect, by ..eschewing- boOlaettiin -ing.

She took no time for recreation or even to read her Bible, or anything else; and there was a grave doubt whether she could read at all "Never mind," she would say, "one of i these days I'll get a rich, industrious husband, and then I'll take .my ease, and attendztotthese things to my heart's content." Poor Sally Scrapings—she, as well as Ephraim Scraps, never reflected that "Man,can not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth`cut of the mouth of God." But time wore on, and the mutual deception of these two rustic in habitants of Possum-Hollow and Coffee. Goss worked upon each. other, and, as sisted by Madam - es Rumor and Gossip, as well, as the generll feelings of these localities; a‘"match" was not loni, in be ing made,—a match too, in which 'the hearts, the feelings, and the judgements of the parties had .no part—but the sold idea of ahusbqnd and a wife, who would relieve the other, party, .from the labors 'and responsibilities of life, backed by the aforesaid busy gossip and rumor of the "Hollow" and "Goss," were thus , in stiumental in iconsummating consuating matters; and se, Ephe and Sally - were ma rried. In commo'n with many others in this world, these rustic worthies must have a "time of it ;" and as each thought that the means of the-other were sufficiently ample, therefore 'a grand wedding—in the eyes of Possum-Hollow and Coffee- Goss—was determined' upon, by the worthy,. swains and dames who composed the long list of their quandum friends. Ephraim procured -for the occasion a blue-"swallow-tail" dress-coat, with im mense brass buttons upon it, with the waist disproportionately short, and the i sleeves so tight, that his big fists pro jected beyond the cuffs, as ,if envelpPed in boxing gloves. The balance of the wedding garments of "Ephe" ,tvero se lected and made up with the same want of judgement and taste,—for a similar fashion had not been in use any where else in this world within ten years of the time they were adopted by him— and much trouble and vexation it• gave the storekeeper and tailor in ransacking old nooks and corners in their stores and shops,—as well as in their, mjnds— to exhume and regalvaniza these obso lete ideas, now for the - first time recog nizable by the slow mental and physical vision of Mister Ephraim _Scraps. But Sally Scrapings was infinitely more fas tidious (perhaps fast-hideous would be better) in her peculiar tastes, tb.an'her intended; for, she Soinetiow lacked' en tirely that shrewd perception, that Usu ally belongs to women:in regard to*the .world of` fashion. It was hugely sus pected that the one showed a preference fur the styles they adopted, to please the-other, and in. seeming contemp't for the opinions of all other people, just to make, it appear the more,.that they were entirely devoted to each other. _But-the greatest, blender which they made . in _addition to the extravagant manner in which the wedding was gotten up—ex travagant only for people of their hum-, ble ConditiOn and ntedas—was the want. of discrimination," or rather the faige: distrimination, exercised in "the 'choice ' of their' guests. None of those were invited with whom they might be - ei , . pectecl to associate on terms of perfect equality, - in the future, but "On" the Con trary, only those who were supposecrte .be - the "welt.to-do"—or rather. the iris .tocracy of the "Hollow",and the "Goss" t—were deemedtworthy of being honored with invitations'.; for, be it. understood, that-these retired districts of our Cont. mon country, had their "upper ten ; " as well as those more fortunately and more poetically endowed.. Ephraim .and:Sal iy on this - oncasion est/Med a dignity 16E4 did not fit them at all, and only hung upon them like the regimentals of a revolutionary grandsire upon au ur chla of six or seven summers. ,But they were "bound , to Shine': for one. _day, at least, and therefore without a single.iti , vocation, t,e,„ the alter of wisdom far guidance in-the-most-important wordiy event in human life, they "went it blind," - Priying.their devolionito the Shrine of merely harnan instinct, - and 'mutual' self aggrandizement—land so they married.

Ephraiin Scraps and. Sally 'Scrapings were not sui generii in -their marriage connection altogether,' for while there ,may have been few casecthat approii nrated to theiris in external_ circumstan ces, yet in all of- the interior prinei plea which governed - their actions, they belonged to an .army whose name is -le gion. We may theoretically ignore all those sentiments, affections and opin ions that tend toivards the crawling and fostering of false grades of distinction in society, at the same tune that we ale compelled to practielly acknowledge that there are true gradelor degrees which cawing do exist. Not that these grades are always bled upon prin ciples of equity,lent that it is the eheerest folly to Cultivate social .relations with those with whom we have no mental or Pecuniary affinities.
