On Mr. Caudle'$ shirt-buttons. f,
There, Mr. Caudle, I hope you're in a little bet- i.
ter temper than you were tnia morning? There? n
you needn't begin to whiatle : people don't come to 0!
bed to whiatle. But it'a like you- 1 can't apeak, u
that you don't try to insult me. Once, I used to jc
stay, you were the best creature living: now, you tc
get quite a fiend. Do let you real? No: I won't let "
you rest. It's the only time I have to talk to you, tc
and you shall hear me. I'm put upon all day long : H
it's very hard if I can't speak a word at night; and dt
ii jsn i oucn i open my niuuui, ^oouiien Known: ?i
" Because once in your lifetime your shirt wanted th
a button, you must almost swear the roof off the R
house! You didn't swear? Ha, Mr. Caudle ! you th
don't know what you do when you're in a passion, hi
You were not in a (Mission, wer'n't you? Well, th
then, 1 don't know what a passion is?and I think I ti<
ought by this time. I've lived long enough with te
you, Mr. Caudle, to know that. hi
"It's a pity you huvn't something worse to com- m
plain of than a button off your shirt. If you'd some st
wives, you would, I know. I'm sure I'm never a(
without a needle and thiead in my hand. What
with you and the children, I'm made a perfect slave
of. And what's my thanks? Why, if once in your
life a button's off your shirt?what do you cry 'oV M
at? I say once, Mr. Caudle; or twice, or three times,
almost. I'm sure, Caudle, no man's buttons in the
world are better looked after than your's. I only p
wish I'd kept the shirts you had when you were j(
lirat married. I should like to know wnere were 0,
your buttons then? ^
"Yes, it is worth talking of! But that's how you
always try to put me down. You fly into a rage, '
and then if I only try to apeak, you won't hear me.
That's how you men always will have all the talk to j
yourselves : a poor woman isnt allowed to get a f0
word in. ,j(
"A nice notion you have of a wife, to suppose ^
Bite's nothing to think of but her husband's button's. 8U
A pretty notion, indeed, you have of marriage. Ha! ^
if poor women only knew what they had to go
through! What with buttons and one thing and Qf
another! They'd never tie themselves up to the an
best man in the world, I'm sure. What would they ^
do, Mr. Caudle? Why, do much better without
you, I'm certain. M
"And it's my belief, after all, that the button L
wasn't off the shirt: it's my belief that you pulled ^
it off, that you might have something to talk about.
Oh, you're aggravating enough, when you like, for
anything! All I know is, it's very odd that the button
should be off the shirt; for I'm sure no woman's
a greater slave to her husband's buttons than I am. nc
1 nntv mav. it's vfrv mirl. of
"However, there's one comfort; it can't last long. D
I'm worn to death with your temper, and sha'n't w
trouble you a great while. Ha, you may laugh !
And I dare say you would laugh ! I've no doubt of "
it! Thai's your love?that's your feeling! 1 know ^
that I'm sinking every duy, though I say nothing
about it. And when I'm gone, we shall see how ?'
your second wife will look after your buttons^
You'll find out the difference then. Yes, Caudle,
you'll think of me then: for then, I hope, you'll ^
never have a blessed button to your back. P'
"No, I'm not a vindictive woman, Mr. Caudle ; P*
nobody ever called me that, but you. What do you m
say? Nobody ever knew so much of me? That's a*
nothing at all to do with it. Ha! 1 wouldn't have 81
your aggravating temper, Caudle, for mines o< gold. nl
It's a good thing I'm not as worrying as you are? tr<
or a nice house there'd be between us. I only wish
you'd had a wife that would have talked to you! then w
you'd have known the difference. But you impose
upon me, because, like a poor fool, I say nothing. M
1 should be ashamed of myself, Caudle. 11
"And a protty example you set as a father; you'll
make your boys as bad as yourself. Talking as ?'
you did all breakfast-time about your buttons! And C
of a Sunday morning too! And you call yourself a
Christian! I should like to know what your boys
will say of you when they grow up? And all about
n paltry button off one of your wristbands: a decent Si
man wouldn't have mentioned it. Why won't I th
hold my tongue? Because I won't hold my tongue, di
I'm to have my peace of mind destroyed?I'm to be (,
worried into my grave for a miserable shirt-button,
and I'm to hold my tongue! Oh! but that's just like q
you men!
"But 1 know what I'll do for the future. Every P
button you have may drop off, and I won't so much
as put a thread to 'em. And I should like to know P
what you'll do then? Ob, you must get somebody P
else to sew 'em, must you? That's a pretty threat
for a husband to hold out to a wife! And to such a
wife as I've been, too : such a negro slave to your F
buttons, as I may say! Somebody else to sew 'em,
eh? No, Caudle, no: not while I'm alive! When
I'm dead?and with what I have to bear there's no
knowing how soon that may be?when I'm dead, I
say?oh ! what a brute you must be to snore so!
"You're not snoring? Ha! that'a what you al- I
ways say ; but that's nothing to do with it. You
must get somebody else to sew 'em, must you? Ha!
I shouldn't wonder. Oh. no! 1 should be surorised li
hi nothing, now! Nothing at all! It's what people c
have always told me it would come to,?ana now,
the buttons have opened my eves ! But the whole
world shnll know of your cruelty, Mr. Csudle. After
the wife I've been to you! Somebody else, in- '
deed, to sew your buttons! I'm no longer to be mis- (
tress in my own house! Ha, Caudle! I wouldn't
have upon my conscience what you have, for the
world! 1 wouldn't treat anybody as you treat?no, '
I'm not mad ! It's you, Mr. Caudle, who are mad,
or bad?and that's worse! I can't even so much as
speak of a shirt-button, but that I'm threatened to 1
be made nobody of in my own house! Caudle, '
you've a heart like a hearth-stone, you have! To '
threaten me, and only because a button?a but- 1

"I was conscious of no more than this," says i
Caudle in his MS., " for here nature relieved me I
with a sweet, deep sleep."
THE CHES8 PLAYER. J
There has beep some inquiry lately, in the news- i
papers, for the present whereabout of the automaton i
chess-player, wnich once excited so much wondering
speculation in Europe. It was generally re- |
incmbered, that after the death of Maelzel, the automaton
was sold, with his other ingenious pieces
of mechnniam; and a rumor had got abroad that
the chees-player was lying, dilapidated and neglect- 1
ed, in some lumber-room of Philadelphia or New i
York. This, however. aoDears to be an unfounded
lory. A communication on the Newark Daily Ad- |
vertiser tella us that when Maeliel left this country,
(he died at sea) he took the chess-player to pieces, (
and boxed up the parte in several cases, which were .
stored at Philadelphia. Recently Dr. S. K. Mitch- (
ell, of that city, after careful examination of these (
W"t'rta mtmkrn, discovered the secret of their con- (
Htnictton, and haa succeeded in putting them togettier,
and the machine is now exhibited at Peale'a .
Museum.
But a more interesting disclosure has been made,
it seems, at Pans, hy one Monsieur Mouret, who .
was Meckel's player in Europe. Ha reveals the
