Theirs was truly a marriage of affection, and congenial ta»U drew closer the b.mvis by which they were un'rted. Familiari ty with the best authors had developed the mind of Mr. Andrews intellectually while a thorough bueine«s education gave him a confidence in his own ability to make his way in the world, and left him ifndisturbed about the future. Mrs. Andrews had been carefully raided by n widowed mother, now »cmoved from her by duaih, and had expereaee |uet enough of the trials of self-dependence lo feet the real comforts of her new po«) lion. The home in whirl) they found them selves r»n this, the fir»t New Year's Eve of their married life, suited, in all respects their unambitious tastes. It wa& not largo, nor elegantly furnished, in the modern acceptation nl that term but light frrtm their happy hearta was re Heeled on every object, mekiog all beautiful in their eyes. The intellectual tastes of Mr. Andrews had led him, in the arrangement of his new homo, lo Ret apart one «mnll roosr as a library, and here most of the even ings of the young couple were spent And it was here they had shut them selves in from lhe world on their firs New Year's Eve, the husband reading aloud iroih a favorite bonk, and the hip py young wife listening lo hi* jianly voice, and treasuring in her memory the sentiments that fell from his lips, whilr her fingers busied themadves witK seme elegant needlework. This home was their Parsdise, into which the tempter had not yet found an This wot their world, b« ot»d which thought had not yet strayed, nor imagination pictured a scene more desir able. Without was the desolation of winter—'but w.thin, the «un*hitie of love made all bright as an Arcadmn frnrnmer. EVE THE bECOXD. t Tliey are in the warm library, M**li the latt Mew Year's E*e. Tho husband i- silling with a book before htm, but not reading, though thought seems btisi ed in its pages. Yet, thought is far a wny from that quiet placr, burying ilsell with some scheme of worldly gain.— Since last year, he has became-moie ab sorbed in lrat!e, and snore atubitiou? lo rian in the world and, as a consequence, le?s intt rested in things purely intellect u.l. Many times bince that first happy NMW Year's E e, is his wife gone up to her chamber, after parting with him for the day, aud wept as it her heart would break. And wh)? lie had fer gotten the parting kits, or hid his lip» to hers so roldly, .that the touch chilled, instead of warming her heart. Oh! how ninny times had a doubt o( his love come over her, filling her soul with an guild*. The pleasant library hat anoiher' in mate--a babe sleeping in its warm cra dle. And above this angi 1 Isitaul, the mother beuda and feaBts her eyes upon its beauty. A new spring ol joy has gushed forth :n her spirit—-new capac ties for enjoyment have been created therein. ln some things, this evo is happier than the last yet over the brightness of the scene a fluting shadow passes—for the world has come will its tempting bribes, and iha heart of Mr. rAi»4rew» j" not proof against them. \YIMI we love, come* lajU lipf in speech. Mr. Andrews* desire to achieve lirge auccesk in business, oft n led him to ol wiiat came first in hi*' thiHiglrts. Many times be* had talked with his wife about his future, aed gra dually inspired her mind with something of the ambition that filled his own. Ang iitis evrning. while the babe slumberod, they talked of the coining year, and the large gains that were expected by the husband. More than ouce it was on his lips to spfftlt of a better house, and more elegant home-surfcaflilinge hut a recol'.teslioa of tho happy hours they had spent rn the pleasant room the/ oeau pied, caused him to repress lb* EVE THETHIKD. Three more year* have p«rted witb their jovs and sorrows. ••We are oh the last hours of the year," said Mrs. Andrew*, with i shade of sad ness in her voiee. as she took up some needlework, and drew near the light, where her husband eat with a new#pa per in his hands, apparently reading.— She had just returned from the chambers above, after seeing their three children safely in bed. "Yes/' repeated Mr Andrews, gloom ily, "on the last hours of the year." •'It has not been as happy a year as were the previous on«s," said Mrs. An drews. "You have had more trouble in business, and, somehow, things have been oiag wrong at home all the time. I dou't know wha-.'s come aver ae, but little matters, that onee bad no pfwgr to disturb, now rufik my feelings sadly%~ And, then, there's no concealing the fact, that the children grow more ungoverna ble every day and what is worse, quar rel dreadfully amoeg themselves/' Mr. Andrews made no reply, 4or*kw war da of hi«wife Uruight up ffom th$ sale cheap at ~-|W(*ruioi ni« U*ai'gltl tip Ifom the JA'SrUMkOY,*Sty*" past imagca of homc*«cti^s aij^uUrljg, Jfamilg $htoyafi&&lrt«fal fo JJoWiM, fifcvatiirw in contrast with the real things of the year just sighing out the last hours of its existence. No—home had not been as happy as during ftie previons jrear#. And why nnd he had not HJLU' always true activity, The new house, new furniture, and ne.w friends that suddenly sprung up, absorbed a large portion of Mrs. An drews' time, as well as thoughts, to the neglect ol hei children, and loss of real comfort in the household. But neglected children are not passive subjects nor neglect in matters of domestic comfort, e thing of difference. They will exists as painful realitiec and this Mrs. Andrew? soon proved, in her sorrow. Thi.-', in brief, is a history of the year, w fhe waning light of which the husband and wife sat sighing over their disappoint od hopes. "Do you remember our first New Year'* Eve?'* said Mrs. Andrews, in a voire that some vivid recollection of the past had made tremulous with feeling. This was after a long silence. For a few moments, her husband look ed at her, before replying. Her ques tion had thrown his thoughts back, and now th memory of a happier time was present "There have been none like it since Anna." The word* were tfpolen earn estly, but sadly. "And yet," he added, after a thoughtful silence, "this ought not lo be. '1 he years should grow brighter with sunshine not darker with clouds. Something is wrong. Why, as the time goes on, should thr pressur*' of care grow heavier, and our spirits, that desire rest and peace, find the ocean of life more vexed with storms, as tho ship advances? Yes, Anna, I do remem ber that New Year's Eve. Alas! ipw uulike the present'," "We were poorer ia this wnrld'» goods, but richer in feelings," s*id Mrs. Andrews. That dear littltf library There was a charm about it, never found in any of our richer apartments The heart'* warm sunshine fell aU )round it, an unde every object bcautiiul. "Something is wrong" Mi. An drews repeated the words more earnest ly. "if, since thai first pleasant Now Year's Eve, the sky above us has fprowft colder, t'je path rougher, ai.U our hearts sadder, we cannot be ou liie road to hap piness. If, with every advancing step, the sunshine coutir.ues to fade, we mutt be on the road to darkness, and not light." "The light has grown dimmer, and yet we hpve been looking for lite morn ing to break in brilliant sunshine!" "Our external conditiou is improved,H saiJ Mr. Andrews, NVe have a better home, and my business has greatly en larged yet neither of these changes have brought the anticipated pleasure. You are not as happy amid all these elegant surroundings, aud I am less satufied with large gains in business, than 1 was when my income reached scarcely a thild of its present amount. Yes, «s, something is wrong, and it behooves us to lofdiyirell to our way*. If these are the ofiltUies we pay for an improved worfiHy condition, then wealth must be a curte, instead of a blessing.*'. "If we ael our hearta upon it/' xegfed Mrs. Andrews, "it will prove a curse, And. dear busbaj|4 may ugt yur error Ue just here?" minutes, duting which jime thought verybusy. l|e then said ••Ii does lie jn*t ?Hf' i# I this? There had been trot* blc business, oil tfifc husband's side, thrown ifte weight of care from his spirit at day's dschoe, Lnd brought a cheerful heart and sunny countenauce home with him Yet I.e might have done this for the iiouMt* wat. such as ever er«mes with in creasing business, and should have found a compensation in increasing gains Had he wisely left the day's cares nnd perplexities at hi? place of business when the door* were shut at night, and let liome-afleetion. and a loving interest warm sunshine, dispelling elouds and shadows. But, he was vet- for In the choice of a new house, there h*d beca adilTereuca of opinion between Mrs. Andrews aud her husband, result ing in much unhuppiness on both aides. He preferred one part of the city, and iie another he a roomy, but nut very coAtiy house she one of rather imposing appearance, more ornamental than com fortablo. Her will was strongest, and her wishes prevailed. Out, the cun quest, if it might so be called, she lost more than she gained for she lost a por tion of her husband's afiection. And her heart's quick instincts were not lung in discovering the fact. OTTUMWA, IOWA, DECEMBER 20, 1855: na 1 am building too much on the mere sccumulifiicn of weatth, as a means of happiness, and you are permitting yowr ej ei lo be dazzled by the surface glitter of the world around you. We are plac ?ng our highest good in mere external things, to the almost total neglect of what is internal, an.l therefore more real.— What are wealth and elegance? what are honor and reputation? what ure fine houses and grand villas, if the heart be dissatisfied?

He had met with some unexpected losses, and more thBn one carefully planned opera tion had entirely failed. This was the trouble in business lo which his wife re ferred—and of which she had felt at home the disturbing influence. On her part, tli« trouble had also been experienc ed. She, too, was setting her heart on external things, and hoping to find there in rest and peace. The home in which, during the earlier years of her married life, she had enjoyed so much of real happiness, grown poor and mean in her eyes ui»der the stronger light of opening prosperity, must needs be changed for oiu larger and more elegant. .Richer clothing, new and costly furniture, and many tilings for show succeeded, all ab sorbing her tltotrghts, and all bringing more or less difwrbing influences. vain?" "Dear husband!" said Mrs. Andrews, "let js begtn the New Year in a wiser nnd better life. Come home lo me, as of old, leaving the world and its cares behing you, and will strive, with an earnest spirit, to disperse all clouds, so that Ihts sunshine nay come in, as of old. fjet us find, in every passing dav, lose the blessings we have, in a vain As they talked, the weight of sadness t»as lifted from their spirits. Even in truer thoughts and better purposes, there come a measure of peace to the troubled heart how much more, if thought and purpose give birth to action? The evening closed moVe brightly than it begun. Peare fluttered again a bove their hearts, seeking thcreju a nes tling place.

Ger.uan silver was introduced into the United States by Dr. Feuchiwanger of New York, who was obliged to pay on his arrival in this country, the custom house duUfes ol silver, the inspectors uol knowing any difference.

He fai'ed never theless, in that also on account of the UQ favorable report from the Director of the United States Mint, who stated ibdt the right of coinage belongs to the Uni ed States government, and that it required some skill to analize the German silver. 0** Barnabus Bates, a professional ina briaie iu Albany, having twice suffered ten dollars costs for indulging, tried to make an arrangement with ihe magis trates to pay the year.
