June 24.—3 t. Jrlert § Tho 4th of July, 1832, witnessed two celebra tions of our National Anniversary in Charles ton, S. C., —the one held by the Unionists, the other by the nullifiera. At the former the fol lowing ode was chanted by a full choir. The effect is said to have been sublime. When the choir came to the last four lines of the last verse, the whole audience rose to their feet, and there was an awful grandeur in the thousands of voices exclaiming: “No I receive our solemn vovr, While before thy throne we bow, Ever to maintain as now, * Union I Liberty I” A NATIONAL HYMiv. Hail, our country’s natal morh!

"Out again to-night ?” said Mrs. Hayes, fretfully, as the husband rose from the tea table aud donned his great coat. "Yes, I have an engagement with Moore ; I shall be in early ; have a light in the li brary. Good nightand with a careless nod, William Hayes left the room. “Always the way," murmured Lizzie Hayes, sinking back upon a sofa. "Oat every night. I don’t believe he cares one bit about me, now, and yet we’ve been mar ried only two years. No man can have a more orderly house, I am sure, and I never go aDywhore, I am not a bit extravagant, and yet I don’t believe he lores me any more. Oh l dear, why is it ? I wasn’t, rich, he didn’t marry me for my money, and he must have loved me then—why does he treat me with so much neglect ?’’ and with her mind filled with such fretful queries, Lizzie Hayes fell asleep on the sofa. Let me paint her picture as she lay there. She was a blonde, with a small, graceful figure, and a very pretty face. The hair, which showed by its rich waves its natural tendency to curl, was brushed smoothly back, and gathered into a rich knot at the back ; “it was such a bother to curl it,” she said ; her cheek was pale, and the whole face wore a discontented expression. Her dress was a neat chintz wrapper, but she wore neither collar nor sleeves - “What’s the use of dressing up just for William ?” Lizzie slept soundly for two hours, and then awoke suddenly. She sat up, glanced at the clock, and sighed drearily at the prospect of the long interval still to be spent alone before bed time. The library wa3 just over the room in which she sat, and down the furnace flue, through the register, a voice came to the young wife’s ears ; it was her husband’s. "Well, Moore, what’s a man to do ? I was disappointed, and must have pleasure somewhere. Who would have fancied that Lizzie Jarvis, so pretty, sprightly and lov ing, could change to the fretful dowdy she is now ? Who wants to stay at home to hear his wife whining all the evening about her troublesome servants, and her head ache, aud all sorts of bothers ? She’s got the knack of the drawling whine so. pat, ’pon my life I don’t believe she can speak pleasantly.” 1 Lizzie sat as if stunned. Was true ? She looked in the glass. If not exactly dowdy, her costume was certainly poi suita ble for an evening, with only William to admire. She rose, and softly went to her room with bitter sorrowful thoughts, and a firm resolution to win back her husband’s heart, and then, his love regained, to keep it. . The next morning William came into the breakfast room, with his usual careless manner, but a bright smile came on his lips as be saw Lizzie. A pretty chintz with neat collar and sleeves of snow muslin, with a wealth of soft, blue curls, had really metamorphosed her ; while the blush her husband’s admiring glance called up to her cheek did not detract from her beauty. At first William thought there must be a guest, but glancing around he found they were alone. "Come, William, your coffee will be stone cold," said Lizzie, in a cheery pleas ant voice. "It must cool till you sweeten my break fast with a kiss,” said her husband, crossing the room to her side, and Lizzie’s heart bounded, as she recoguized the old lover’s tone and manners. Not one fretful speech, not one com plaint fell upon William’s ear through the meal. The newspaper, the noual solace at I that hour, lay untouched, as Lizzie chatted gaily on every pleasant subject she could think of, warming by his grateful interest and cordial manner. "You will bo at home to dinner?” she said as he went out." "Can’t to-day,Lizzie ; I have business out of town, but I’il be home early to tea. — Have somethiog substantial, for I don’t ex pect to dine. Good bye,,” and the smiling look, warm kiss and lively whistlo, were a marked contrast to his lounging, careless gait the previous evening. "I am in the right path,” said Lizzie in a low whisper. "O 1 what a fool -I have 1 been for two years !” “A fretful dowdy.” 1 “William, you shall never say that again.” Lizzie loved her husband with real wife ly devotion, and her lips would quiver as she thought of his confidence to his friend Moore; but like a brave little woman she stifled back the bitter feelings, and tripped off to perfect her plans. The grand piano, silent for months, was opened, and the lin en covers taken from the furniture, Lizzie I thinking, "He shan’t find any parlors more l attractive than his own, lam determined.” Tea time came, and William came with it. A little figure, in a tasty, bright, silk dress, smooth curls, and oh ! such a lovel y blush and smile, stood ready to welcome William as he came iu; and tea time pass ed as the morning meal had done. After tea, there was no movement, as usual, to ward the bat rack. William stood up be side the table, lingering, chattering, till , Lizzie also rose. She led him to the light, warm parlors, in their pretty glow of taste > ful arrangement, and drew him down beside her on the sofa. He felt as if he was court ing over again, as he watched her fingers busy with some fancy needle-irork, and lis tened to the cheerful voice he had loved so dearly two years before. , NO. 26, "What are you making, Lizzie ?” "A pair of slippers. Don’t you remem ber how much you admired the pair I work ed for you, oh 1 ever so long ago ?” "I re member ; black velvet with flowers on them. I used to put my feet on the fenders and dream of blue eyes and bright curls, and wished lime would move faster, to the day when I could bring my bonnie wee wife home to make music in my house.” Liz zie’s face saddened for a moment, as Bhe thought of the last two years, aud how lit tle music she had made for this loving heart, gradually weaning it from its alle giance ; then she said : “I wonder if you love music as much as you did then ?” “Of course I do. I often drop in at Mrs. Smith’s for nothing else than to hear the music.” "I can play-and sing better than Miss Smith,” said Lizzie, half pouting. "But you always say you are out of prac tice whea I ask you.” "I had the piano tuned this morning.— Now, open it, and you will see how it sounds." William obeyed joyfully, and, tossing aside her sewing, Lizzio took the piano stool. She had a very sweet voice, not powerful, but most musical, and was a very fair performer on the piano. "Ballads, Lizzie ?” “Oh! yes, I know you dislike opera mu sic in a parlor.” Oue song after another, with a nocturne, or lively instrumental piece, occasionally, between them, filled up another hour pleas antly. The little mantle clock struck eleven ! “Eleven 1 I thought it was about nine. I ought to apologize; Lizzie, as I used to do, for staying so long; and I can truly say, as I did then, that the time has passed so pleasautly I can scarcely belihve it is so late.” The piano was closed, Lizzie’s work put iu the basket, and William was ready to go up stairs; but, glancing back, he saw his little wife near the fire-place, her hands clasped, her head bent and large tears falling from her eyes. He was beside her in an instant. "Lizzie, darling, are you ill? What is the matter?” "Oh ! William, I have been such a bad wifel 1 heard you tell Mr. Moore la3t evening, hew I had disappointed you; but I will try to make your home pleasant, in deed I will, if you will forgive and love me.” ;; "Love you ? Oh.! Lizzie, you can’t guess how dearly I love you 1” As the little wife lay down that night she thought, ;, "I have won; him back again ! Better than that, I have learned the way to keep him!” - .f Artemus Ward in Richmond. Richmond, Va., May—lß & 65. olonzo WARD. Afore I comments this letter from the late rebel capitol I desire to ciraply say that I hav seen a lew and scurrilous noat in the papers from a certain purson who signes hisself Olonzo Ward, & sez he is my berruther. I did once have a berruther of that name, but I do not recognize him now. To me he is wuss than ded 1 I took him from coilige sum 16 years ago and gave him a good situation as the Bearded Woman in my Show. How did he repay ipe for this kindness ? He basely undertook (one day while in a Backynalian mood on rum and right in sight of the aujience in the tent) to stand upon his head, wharby he betray’d his sex on account of his boots & his Beard fallin off bis face, thus rooinin’ my pros pecks in that town, & likewise incurrin’ the seris displeasure of the Press, which sed boldly 1 was triflin’ with the feelins of a intelligent public. Ido not ever wish his name breathed in my presents I do not re cognize him. I perfectly disgust him. 1 RICHMOND. The old man finds hisself once more in a Sunny climb. I come here a few days after the city catterpiilertulated. My naburs seemed surprised & astonisht at this bravery onto the part of a man at my time of life, but our family was never know’d to quale in dangers stormy hour. My father was a sutler in the Revoloo tion War. My father once had a intervoo with Gin’ral La Payette. He asked La Fayette to lend him five dollars, promisin’ to pay him in the Fall; but Lafy said “he couldn’t see it iu those lamps.” Lafy wa9 French and his knowl edge of our laogwidge was a little shaky. Immejutly on my ’rival here I preceeded to the Spotswood House, aud callin’to my. assistans a young man from our town who writes a good runnin’ hand’ I put my orto graphy on the Register, and handin’ my umbrella to a baldbeaded man behind the counter, who I s’posed was Mr. Spottswood, I said, “ Spotty, how does she run ?” He called acullud purson, and said : “Show the gen’lman to the cowyard, and give him cart number 1.” "Isn’t Grant here ?” said I. “ Perhaps Ulyssis wouldn’t mind turnin’in with me.” "Do you know the Gin’ral ?” inquired Mrs. Spottswood. “Wall, no not’zackly; but he’ll remem ber me. HiS brother in law’s Aunt bought her rye meal of my uncle Levi all one win ter. My uncle Levi’s rye meal was "Pooh!, pooh!” said Spotsy, "don’t bother me,” and he shuv’d iny umbrella on to the floor. Obsarvin’ to him not to be so tearless with that wepin’ I accompanid the African to my lodgings. “ My brothel,” I sed, “ are you aware you’ve been’mancipated ? Do you realise how glorus it is to be free ? Tell me, my dear , brother, does it not seem like some dreams or.do you realize the great tact in all its livin’ and holy maguitood ?” He said he would take some gin. I was show’d to the cowyard and laid down under th mule cart. The hotel was orful crowded, and I was sorry I hadn’t gone to the Libby Prison. Tho’ I should hav slept comfble enuff if the bed clothes hadn’t bin pulled off me durin the night, by a scoundrul who cum and hitched a mule to the cart aud drove it off. I thus lost my coverin', and my throat feels a little husky this mornin. Gin’ral Halleck offers me the hospitality of the city, givin me my choice of hospitals. He has also vary kindlv placed at my dis posal a small pox amboolance. oy; UNION. SENTIMENT. There is raly a great deal of Union sen timent in this city. I see it on ev’ry side. I met a man to day—l am not at liberty to tell his name, but he is a old and infloo entooial citizen of Richmond, and sez he, “ why we’ve bin fighting agin the Old Falg ! Lor’ bless me, how sing’lar 1” He then bor ror’d five dollars of me and bust” into a flood of tears. Sed another (a man of standin' and for merly a bitter rebuel,) "let us at once stop this effooshun of Blud 1 The Old Flag is good Onuff for me. Sir,” he added, “you are from the North ! Have yon a doughnut or a piece of custard pie about you ?” I told him no, bat I knew a man from Vermont who had just organized a sort of resturani* where he conld go and make a very comfortable breakfast on New Eng land ram and cheese. He borrowed fifty cents of me, and askin’ me to send him Wm. Lloyd Garrison’s ambrotype as soon as I got home, he walked off. Said another, " There's bin a tremendu ons Union feelin’ here from the fust. But we was kept down by a rain of terror. Have you 'a dagerretype ofWeiidell Philips about your person ? and will you lend four dollars for a few days till we air once more a happy and united people ?” R. LEE. Robert Lee-is regarded as a noble feller. He was opposed to the war at fust, and draw’d his sord very reluctant. In fact, he had a larfe stock of military clothes on hand which he didn’t want to waste. He sez the colored man is right, and he will at once go to New York and open a Sabbath Scool for negro minstrels. THE CONFEDERATE ARMY. The surrender of R. K. Lee, J. Johnson and others leaves the Coufedrit Army in a ruther shattered state. That army now donsists of Kirby Smith, four mules aud a Bass drum, and i 3 moving rapidly to’rds Texis. A PROUD AND HAWTY SUTHENER. Feelin’a little peckish, I went inti i eatin’ house to-day, and encountered a young man with long black hair and slender frame. He didn’t wear much clothes, and them as he did wear looked onhealtby.— He frowned on me and se J kinder scornful, “So, sir, you come here to r unt us in our hour of trouble, do you ?” . “Young man,” I mildly but gravely sed, “this crooil war is over, and you’re lickt! Its rather necessary forsumbody to lick in a good square, lively fit, and in this ’ero case it happens to be the United State of America. You tit splendid, but we was too many for you. Then make the best of it, & let us give in and put the Republic on a firmer bassis nor ever. “I don’t gloat over your misfortins, my young fren.’ Pur from it. I’m a old man uow, & my hart is softer nor it once was. You see my spectacles is misten’d with suthiu’ very like tears.

Artemus Ward. The Land to Live In. The returns of the income-tax, make an interesting revelation of the wealth of t£e country and its general distribution. The number of men who enjoy fortunes, is prob ably greater in this country than in any other on the globe, and, in many instances, the amoant is equal to those of old aristo cratic houses in England. In New York, according to the Herald, there is one gen tleman enjoying an income of a million, who came to this country a poor Irish boy ; another, who has an income of three quar ters of a million, the founder of whose fam ily came here from Germany a penniless youth ; and yet another with an income of a half million, who commenced life as a Whitehall boatman. This is the peculiarity of American wealth. It is seldom derived from one’s ancestors, but is the result of individual enterprise atfd sagacity. There are no bars here to the exercise of the talents which command wealth, and, in tho race for it, the shoeblack has as good a chance as the merchant, if he has trained his thoughts, educated his mind, practices the industry and enterprise, and exercises .the fore thought which are necessary to its success ful accumulation. This equality is what makes a country prosperous, and its insti tutions respected and supported. A Tough Story. —The Springfield Repub lican's correspondent is for the following. Last week in a village hard by, where ministers are not so plentiful as io larger places. “Squire F , a justic* of the peace, a man of good common in nuo and sterling integrity, remarkable forblunt ness rather than blandness of manner, and whose literary attainments extended to tho writing of his name, was called in by a col ored family to make a few remarks at the funeral of their son, in the absence of the only clergyman of the place. The weeping friends were seated about the room, when be rose and said: “It’s pretty bad, but if I was you, I wouldn’t take on so. It’s all for the best. S’pose he’d lived and grown to be a fat healthy boy—why he’d never been nothing but a d—n nigger anyhow.” fgy A few years since the noted Tom Marshall was delivering an address before a large audience in Buffalo, when some one in the hall every few moments, shouted “Louder ! louder!” Tom stood this for a while ; but at last, turning gravely to the presiding officer, said : “Mr Chairman, at the last day, when the angel shall with his golden trumpet proclaim that “time shall be no longer,” I doubt not, Sir, that there will be in that vast crowd, as now, some drunken fool from Buffalo, shouting, “Louder! louder!’’ The house roared;— Tom went on with his speech ; but there were no more cries of “louder !” A Child’s Idea of Heaven.—The fol lowing dialogue speaks for itself: “Papa, has Mr. Lincoln gone to Heav en ?” “Yes, my dear child, I think so ; yes, I have no doubt he has gone there.” “Well, papa, won’t they all get around him -and give three cheers ?’’ fjg*A gentleman at the Astor House table, New York, asked the person sitting next to him if he would please pass tho mustard. “ Sir," said the man, “do you mistake me for the waiter ?” “ Oh, no, sir,” was the reply, “ I mistook you for a gentle man.” why were you out so lato last night?” “It wasn’t late—only a quarter of twelve.” How dare you sit there and tell me that lie ? I was awake when you came in, and it was three o’clock.” “Well, isn’t three a quarter of twelve ?” moments are the gold-dust of time. Of all* tho portions of onr life, spare moments are the most fruitful iu good or evil. They are the gaps through which temptation finds its easiest access to the soul. <g“Spare the birds, for they are great benefactors to famera and gardeners. Do nothing to frighten them from yeufrgroQnds; they destroy legions of insects that are ready to injure your fruit and fruit trees.
