Il is too hard!” and ho arose and wulkcd the room with rapid strides." His wife sighed, and rema ned silent. Hut after it moment or two she arose, went up to him, and fondly encircling him with her arm, said, “Dear Ernest, you must not worry yourself ro. You think il puinful lor me to bear poverty, I know, hut n woinun never regards such things when she loves. A crust of bread, a log.cabin, would he preferable to me if I shured them with yuu,.thana palace with any other. But it will not come to this. Something within assures me you will yet bo great and rich. Huve patience only for it little while longer. There—there is a knock nt the dour now —it may be for you.” As if her words had been prophetic, the little girl, the only servant, appeared at this crisis and suid Ihe doctor was wanted in a great hurry. With an exulting sinilo his wife ran fur his hut, uud then •at down, with a beating heart to await his return. It was almost the first summons that the young physician hod received, though lie had resided in tlie village for more titan it yonr. The place too, was large and populous, hut there were several medical men of large practice, and all these com bined to put down their young rival. More than once heretofore E nest would have abandoned tlie field in despair ; but his young wife cheered and encouraged him, though sometimes her own heart fell ready to give up. Mary Liu wood was, indeed, that greutest of all blessings a good wife ; she sympathized with her husband, economised to the utmost, and hv her sanguine words chused despot). deucy from his heart. Hour after hour she sat there, awaiting her bus. band’s return, yet still lie came not. At lust durk- ness set in, and site began to Icel uneasy. She was about rising to go to the door, when she heard her iiuslmmi’s loot on the step, und hurrying out she met him in the hull. "God bless you, Mury for an angel ns you are,” were his first words. ‘‘If it had not been for yo 1 I should have given up lung ago, and nuiv my for tune is made." Breathless with anxiety to hear ull, yet not un. mindful of his probably wearied condition, Mary hurried her husband into tlie little silting room where the lea tilings were laiJ, and began to pour out 1 he refreshing beveragu with a trembling bund, while Ernest told the history of his day’s absence. ‘•1 found,” ho said, ‘‘I wns sent for to old Gover nor Huston’s—tlie richest und nicsl influential man, you know, ill tlio country—and when I got there I learned, to my surprise, that the Governor had been thrown from his carriage and was thought to he dying. All the physicians of the town had been sent for, one nfier another, but none could aid hint. In despair, bis wife, without orders hud sent for me. I saw his only chance for life depended on a new and difficult operation, which none of the older physicians had ever seen performed. Lucki. ly I li,id assisted atone when a student. I stated w hat I thought could ho done. The old Governor is a man ofiron nerves, und quick resolution; so when lie heard the others say they could do noth ing for him, he determined to commit himself to my hands. 1 succeeded beyond my hopes : even (lie other physicians were forced to acknowledge my skill; und there is now nothing but care required to make my patient as well as ever. On parting he put this roll of notes in my hand.” Mary was in tears long before hcrliushnnd fin- islied his narration; but iier heart went up in thunk- fulness to God for having thus interposed just ai tlie crisis when liopo seemed gone. From that day Ernest Linwood wasn made man. The fame of his skillful operation wns in every one’s mouth ; and, by the aid of his patient, who now become his patron, lie stepped, nt once, into a practice among the families of the place. Weulth ns well ns reputation flowed in upon him ; hut he always attributed his success to his wile, whose af fection, lie suid, had clieercd and sustained him when out of heart. “There is nothing," lie would say,“like n faith ful wife : under God our weal or woe lor this life depends 011 her. If she is desponding, your own sanguine spirit catches the infection; but if she is full of hope and energy, her smiles will cliecr you on in the darkest hours und enable you to achieve wlmt you, at first, thought impossibilities. Our success in this world, ns well ns our happiness de pends chiefly on our wives.

The people of this country wore so virtuous tlmt a lung time passed and no one Imd complained of injustice or ingratitude; nnd meanwhile the build ing began to go to decay. Its doora hud rolled from their hinges; brambles Imd begun to choke up its eutruiicc-wny; while tall grass sprung up from the crannies of its pavements, nnd spiders festoon ed the capitals of its columns. The good king wns dead, and so were many of his successors; and tlie uses of the pluce itself had almost come to be remembered only as some old legend, when, Into one night in the inidst of a howl ing winter, the tolling of the bell was heard. The inhabitants of the city a! midnight surroun ded the place, and found, to their surprise, only an old horse, which, seeking shelter from the snow, hud strayed there, and whoso feel had become oil- tangled with tlio bell.ropes, and so by chance hud rung it.

Il is one of the privileges of our sex to make fun of those we like best.’ •Alt ! Kate ,thnt is a fatal apprehension. If you would think twice yurt would see how foolish it tiling you Imd said ; fur il* you ubuse him before those who know your reu! opinion, they will laugh at your vum attempt to blind them, while if you make fun of him hetorc strangers, you lower him in their estimation.’ •Pshaw !

Kale was always the cureless and rattling crea ture we have described her. Gifted with high an* itnal spirits, a good hour', warm impulses, and considerable hriilancy of mind, she might have made an almost faultless being but fertile un happy faculty situ had imbibed, of turning into ridicule every person and thing situ met with.

Tlie fact is, she wus fund of mystifying—or quizzing. as she called it—tlmt she niudu it a point to say things of'Georgc which no Indy could he suspected of saying uguiusl (he man she loved. •Dear Kate,’ said Agnes again to her, a few days; after tlie preceding conversation, ‘you really musk curb your propensity to satire. Did you notice hotv George colored, when you made such fun of him to his face; and alter his back was turned you said tilings of him tlmt certainly will offeivd lain, if they ever come to his ears.’ ■Let him get offended then,’ said Kate, tossitq; her bend. ‘He is loo sensitive und ought to in i cured.’ •Yet you would not cure a flush wound by irri tating it wiiere most sensitive, would you?’ ‘Oil ! logic again.

The fact is, he serves us a safety valve to me—as long as 1 liave him to ridicule, you are all safe—hut, lorhid this and them will he a general explosion in which everv one will suffer.’ Kate accordingly went on as she had begun. She wus beautiful uud accomplished, and Imd flat- lerers without number, so tlmt she could do many tilings with impunity that would not have h enover- loulted in girls less admired. She deceived many as to Lor true sentiments for George Alcutt. Hut- lover cured little fur this ; hut ho really was an noyed ul tlio severe things which often came to liis ears as having been said of him by Kate. He was too proud to remonstrate; hut lie showed by Ids manner how much lie wus hurt. At ouch times, by a few concessions, Kate would restore him to good humor; hut, perltups, on the very next dav, she would commit Iter old fault again. ‘Alt ! Kale, you ure found out at lust, sly ns you Itnve been,’ suid one of her companions to her. •You are engaged to George Alcutt—you neudn’t curi your lip, fur you can’t deceive me any longer —I imd it ifonr his own sister.' Now if there was any one whom Kate wished to conceal her eugaireineiit from, il wns this gossip- ping girl, who Imd annoyed Iter excessively by try ing to pry into her trflairs.

And now only to think that tire the cup tun over, lie fell that lie had home miieli from her—more, indeed, limit 11 high spirited man ought—hut liis love, which amounted to idolatry, hot! constantly invented excuses for her hiihorto. Now, however, the long accumulated conviction that, tviili siic'.i 11 woman lie could never lie happy, forced itself irresistibly upon him. ‘No, 1 must he loved by one, w ho will never make a jest of me,’ ho said. ‘Henceforth, Kate, though once so dear, you and I must he only disinnt acquaintances.

He used to ' relale, with thrilling effect, liis sensations during the lime of liis supposed death.

At lust he heard Mrs Doddridge cnll lor the brandy, tviih a delight and rapture of love for her which the hor rors of liis situation may easily explain. Ho felt tlmt ho was suved, and lie was saved.

Mr. Lewis heard it, and thereupon wrote Mr. Polk us j I’ul'ows : Washington, May 8, 1843. fciiH :—l learn from a private source that you Imve intimated lion my removal from office was rendered necessary, because the position 1 occupied wus dangerous to iho Government, inasmuch ns i| ■ would enable me lo impart information to u foreign ! power to tin: disadvantage of my own country. 1 hope there is some mjstuko in this—you had tlie tight lo take my office Irani me, hut not mg I reputation—I beg, therefore, lo ho informed whelh- j or you have mude lliu impulutioii against me to j which 1 have referred Your obedient servant, [Signed.] W.

The French Minister in Washington, tho Louis, villu Journal Stutes, is sun.in.law lo Major Lewis, and Mr. Polk’s rensbn for dismissing the Major was Dial he fumed lie might give seme improper informa. lion to a foreign power in consequence of liis con nection witlt its wiiihussudiir lo litis country. Of course this suspicion wus exceedingly offensive tu Lewis, us i' at once implicated liis honor as a g eu . tlernnn und liis fidelity as an officer of tho Govern ment. The Journal adds ; One of General Jackson's latest letters was ud- dressed vo Maj. Lewis. Tho following extract from that letter is very significant of the General’s f. eliogs in relation lo thu coursu pursued by Polk towards Major Lewis: "My dour Major—l regret your removal us well as tliu inunnnr of it. 1 did suppose that die mag. uaniniiiy nf Col. Polk would prevent him from the removal ol any officer without giving iiim notice 'Hereof, ihut the nltio- r might make arrangement* to hand the office to ins successor. You know, Mu* j'i'', 1 hut I neither beg for myself or friends, und i{ 1 hud boen in tlio liuhii, it was too late—you were removed.’’ Ju»l before the General died, lie gave directions that when iio wus dead. Major Lewis should taka charge oI liis body and superintend its funeral olr. seqmes. Jackson’s feelings wore warm and nf. leclioiiiitu towards Lewis to tlie last, and if Mr. Folk Inis liny sensibility, this fuel wiil be like iho point of a poignant in Ins heurl.
