MY HUSBAND.
A SKETCH FROM REAL LIFE.
' My husband ia a veiy strange man. To
think how he could have grown so provoked
about auch a little thing aa that scarlet scarf.
Veil, there la no, uae in trying to drive biro,
I've settled that in my mind. But he cai be
coaxed can't be though? And from this
. time shan't 1 know how to manage him?
Still there ia bo ose denying Mr. dms ia
itianpeman. You, see, it, waxtliif morning at
breakfaat I said' to him. "Henry, 1 must hove
oneoflhoae ten dollar arfat Stewart's
They are perleelly charming, and will corres
pond with my mareon velvet cloak. I want
go this morning and get one before they ere all
. gone. ,
- "Tea dollar don't grow on every bush,
Adeline, and just now times are pretty hard,
you know," he answered if) a dry, careless
kind of tone, which irritated m greatly. Bt
ide that, I knew he could afford to get me
thr scarf, just a well as not, only perhaps my
manner ol requesting it did wot qui'.e suit his
. lorunhin,,.
"Gentlemen who can afford to buy satin
vests at ten dollars a piece can have no motive
but penuriotuness for olijeoting to give their
.. wives as much lor a scari.'f i reioritii, gian
cine at t lie money, which a moment before, he
had laid by my plate, reuueiuing me to procure
one for him; be always trusted me in these
mntlers. I spoke angrily, and should have
been sorry for it the nest moment, if he bad
not answered.
"You will then charge il to my penurious
ries., I suppose when I tell you that you can
not have umber ten dollars." '
"Well, then, 1 will lake thin and get
scarf. You can do without the vest this fall,"
end took up the bill and lelt the room, for
he did not answtr.
I need it, and must have it! was my mental
obaervation, as I washed my tear-swollen eyes
nd adjusted my hair for a walk on Broadway;
but ail the while there was a whispering
my heail, "Do not do it. Go and buy the
vest for your husband," and at last the inner
voice triumphed, I went down to the tailors,
bougnt the vest, and brooch: it home.
"lleie it is, Henrv: I selected the color that
I thought would suit you best. Isn't it rich?"
) said, as I unfolded the vest after dinner; for
somrhow my pride was all rone. I had felt
so much happier since 1 bad given up the
scarf.
He did not answer me, but there was such
Irak of tenderness filling his dark ryes os his
lips Tell on my ti.relirad, that it was much
1 could do to keep from crying out. But the
cream of the story is not told yet. At night,
when be came to tea, he thre a little bundle
into my lap. I opened, it, and there was the
scarlet scarf, the very one that 1 had set my
heart on at Stewart's yesterday.
"Oh, Henry," I said looking up and trying
to thank him, . but my lips trembled and the
tears dashed over the eyelashes; and my bead
to his heart an ) smoothed down my curls, and
murmured the old loving words in my ear,
while I cried there a long time, but my tears
were sweet ones, lie ia i range man,
- husband, but be is a noble one, too, only it
little hard to find it out sometimes) and
seem to me my heart says more earnestly lo
ight than it ever did befoie Gofl bleaa him.
A Cold Greeting.

"You kept some years ago a small tavern in

I did, Mr. Kean. ' Fortune has bten kind to

"Aud I, air," said Kean, jiimptiig, "recol

suffering -wife, and a sickchild, all of us wet

"Hallo friend, can yon tell me the way to

LIFE AS IT IS.
;
Let uK make an excursion down the street
and see whut we can learn. Yonder is the
wreck of a man's son. He was permitted lo
grow up without employment, went and came
as he pleased, and spent his lime in the grat
ification of spontaneous passions, dtsires and
inclination, with no one to check him, when
his cource was evil, or tncouiage him in the
ways ol wisdom. His father was rich, and for
that reason the son thought he had nothing to
do, ncr pari in honest labor to rerlorm.
Well, tbe fail.erdied, and the son inherited
a portion of his abundant wealth, 'and having
never earned money by honest toil, he knew
not the value of it, and having no knowledge
of business, he knew not how to use it, so he
gave loose reins to his appeiiies and passions,
and ran at a rapid pace down the broad road
to dissipation. Now behold bira a broken
down man, bowed with iiifimniy, a mere wreck
of whut he was, bo'h physically and menially
His money is goi,e and l.e lives on the charity
or Ihiie whose whose hearts are open with
pity. Such is the fate of hundreds that are
born to fortune.
And there on the opposite side in that com
finable mansion, lives theson of a poor colder.
Fificen years aco he left the humble room of
his parents, and went forth into the broad
world a one to seek a fortune. All his trea
sures consisted of his chest of tools, s good
knowltdue of his liade, honest principles, in
dustrious habits, oiid twenty live coppers.
Iow ho is the owner ol that elegant mansion,

Ratification Meeting of the Americans in
Washington—Speech of Lewis D. Campbell.
city of Washington op Friday night, a ful re
promises port of which we Und in the National Orpan,
The Americas party bad a meeting in the
ol baiiiruay. j ne nrsi speaker was Hon. An
drew Stewart, formerly member of Congress
from Pennsylvania. When he concluded,
Hon. Lewis D. Campbell was loudly called
for, and took the stand and spoke as follows:
He said lie haa just come in, and did not
exactly know, what the meeting was doing and
what Ifiey were laming arjout; but il the ob
ject was to perpetuate the great principles of
American liberty, be was wnii them. luheers.J
It seemed to him that the old parties were
now in that particular aituation known as
"confutioa confuzzled!" Laughter. He
had labored wjfci his eminent friend from
Kentucky, (Mr Crittenden, who sat near him
on the stand,) in the old Whig party, shoul
der to chouldei; but that was now said to Le
defunct in the abstract. As to the old Demo
cratic party of the days of Jackson, he believed
if all Pierce's marshals and deputy marshals
should be armed with warrants, and should
take a year for the search, they would return
the warrants endorsed as did the Kentucky
constable when be treed his man in a swamp:
"jMon tti mernrus, oxer emmuui in ttcampi
lui up a itumpo." Laughter and cheers.
Here there was some disturbance in the
meeting, and cries of "Put him out," "Sag
Nichls," when Mr. C. cried, "No don't put
him out; but give him a teat on the stand!"
Order was soon restored, and be went on.
Mr. Campbell now went into a lucid and
eloquent, as wellsshumorousdefenceofsome
of the prominent principles of the American
party. He was rot a member of any church,
but be was inclined to the Protestent faith
because he was brought up in it, and because
history taught him it was the faith of freedom.
The American party wished to keep Church
and State aeparale, and they would do it in
spite of Jesuits. i Cheers.
The American nation were not as weak as
they once were. The Indians who once in
fested his own State, and who at one time
were near the place where he lay an infant;
these Indians who were hired by British gold
to murder the women and children, thanks to
the bold hcar't of Kentucky wl o marched to
the teller or Ohio, bad been exterminated.
The nation was nowstrotig, and in ended to be
on equal terms with other nations. They in
tended to give their citizens a right to travel in
foreign lands without having their baggage
ransacked by Papal authority to find and lake
away the Bible they kept for their privatene-
votions, even '.hough that Bible was the gift of
a dying mother, as the myrmidons or the Pope
do now. And we intend, when Sam gets
strong enough in the knees, and he seems to
be getting stronger eveiy day, to have our cit
izens buried decently when they die in a for
eign land. Nuw, an American Protestant dy
ing In Italy is not as decently buried as you
would bury a Newfoundland tog.
. He said e could and would manage ourowc
internal affairs 4osu.it ourselves also, without
any of the proffered aid ol John Bull, Patrick
M'Plaherly, or Huns Bergerakiterhopen either.
W e, like other people, had our troubles iu the
camp, but that was none of other people's bu
siness. The trouble w as about a colored gen
tleman on the fuel, or, in o' her words, a linger
in the wood pile. (Laughter.) On this mat
ter he had his own opinion, and should con
tinue to think for himself. But be thought he
could retire to an a me-room now with his
friend from Kentucky and his friend from
North Carolina, (Mes.srs. Crittenden and Haugh-
toii.) and though they were two lo one against
him, they could hx that matter up in ten min
utes, if it would only slay fixed. But the nig
ger business was an outside issue. It hsd no.
business in the American party, and, for his
pari, ne wtsneu io seep me gemmen ou color
out. (Laughter and cheers
Somebody had talked about the dissolution
of the Union! All he had to say about thai
was, "the thing can't be did!" (Tremendous
cheering.) Ho knew thut many of the gallant
Buckeye boys had waded the Ohio river, and
and wooed, won and carried home some of
Kentucky's fairtst daughters. Do you .-think
they want to split? No, sir! It's no use talk
ing abvut that. "The thing can'l be did!"
(Cheers and Laughter.)
You have mel to night to ratify the nomina
tions oflhe American party. Bui 1 don't care
for the men. They arc insignificant compared
with the principles. Men and platforuu are
nothing; that is. the details of the plallorms.
The great thing is the preservation ol the great
and glor'ous principles those men ore nomina
ted to suppurl. Americans! you now" have
your work before you! Your priueipJie. are
before the people. Your candidates are in the
field, and it only remains for tnu to do your
duty, and you will be victorious. (Great
cheering and long continued.)
Air. Crittenden, of Kentucky, and Mr.
Haughion, of North Carolina, afterwards ad
dressed the Assembly. Resolutions were
passed endorsing the candidates and platform.
We think the good people ofUluo will be
SDinewhal surprised al the speech of Hon.
Lewis D. Campbell. rw members ol Con
gress have had more to do with the "nigger
business" than the honorable gentleman.
Lin. Uazette,
Benefits of Advertising.
The Toledo Blade furnishes the following
instance of advertising which is by no means
remarkable; but is nevertheless worthy of at
tention i .
"Some ten years since, when Detroit was
a very Mule, if a- y, langer than Toledo, two
voui't: men irom the bast, where the true prin
ciple of advertising ts belter understood than
it the West, having taken store centrally
situated, opened with the determination of ex
pending their enire pro tits except rent and
clerk hire, lor the first year, in advertising nnd
printing- .They did so, expending about SI,
400. The next year they set apart half the
profits For the same purpose, but long before
the year expired, the senior partner told the
writer of this srticle that they could not expend
as much aa they had anticipated, for

An Exciting Fight.
A Few days ago a couple of men got into a
fihl, and as a consequence, il being nattirolliy
Hie case, a ring ot excited individuals got
around the parties, and each ar cording to his
own feelings in the matter, gave bim advice:
Teg it into him," said the ihoemnl;er,
"hammer his upper leather for him thut's it!
wax him, my In J, beat his soul out for him?"
"Cut into his fat, oid fellow, said the butch
er, "knock hun on the head! Say! why don't
yer punch his ribs! xou're n regular calf, you
arel Knuckle him now yer gut him u.ske
mince-meat of him!"
"Dress him well," said the tailor, "see how
he pants! fall him! give him a stitch in his rise!
button up his lip, and knock hun hangup!"
"Tan his hid," said the currier; "peel the
batk off his nose, aud damage his skin!"
"This suits me exactly," said the lawyer,
"get his head intnehoucery' and bleed him (ill
he pleads, then he's a good case." Then ad
vancing lo the other one, he si;d: "He's do
ing you an injury he's perfectly ferocious,
take the law ou It mi, and I'll look oul or the
remainder."
"1 saw him strike you first," said the car
penter. "Nail him! Knock his upper rights
from under him! cross cut him until he lies
dormant! I'll bet a basket of shavings ou you,
old chip!"
"Pmg him in the eye," said a tobaccoist.
"Gel a double twist on biin, and then chaw
him up. I'ou't let him stump you, give him
one on his nigger headl"
"Hit him between the eyes with yourU","
said the Printer, "show him no i's till you t
kill him! batter ins bald face aud knock his
form into pi."
"What's the row?" aaid the police, coming
up after every one iiad gone. "Show us a
chance to have a gtabal somebody!"
The Dog who had no Owner.
We were traveling through Canada, says the
cotemorary, in the winter of 1839, and after
a very long day's ride, slopped at the Lion
Inn; and the contents of the stage numbering
about nine persons, soon gathered around the
cheerful fire. Among the occupants of the
room we observed an ill looking cur, who had
shown its wit by taking up its quarters in so
controllable an apartment. After a few min
utes the landlord enteredand observing the
specimen of the canine species, remarked:
"Fine dog, that ! Is he yours, sir ?" ap;
pealing to one of tbe passengers.
"No, Sir."
"Beautiful dog I Yours, tir f" addressing
himself to a second.
"No," was ihe blunt reply.
"Come here, Tup, perhaps he ia yoursslrf
"No," was the reply. 1 - '
"Very aagacious animal belongs to you I
suppose, sir ?" ,
"No he dosn't." . '
"Then he is yours, and a you have a treas
ure," throwing the animal a cracker.
"Nothing ol tbe kind."
"Oh ! (with .a smile,) he belongs to you at
a mailer of course ?" addressing the las: pas
senger. '
"Wouldn't have him as a gift."
"Then yon infernal, dirty, mean, contempt
ibltwl.elp, get out I" and with that, he gave
him aucb a kick that sent the animal bellow
ing into tbe street amid the roars of the com
pany. '...-
("How dore you," aaid a yoong squirt to
a mechanic, as they were both crowding in st
the Tremont Temple, to hear Jenny Lind,
"how dare you come lo hear the Nightingale
without a shirt collar?" :
"How tlieduce could I have a shirt collar'
when your mother hasn't sent home my wash
ing?" was the reply. '
