PBruin’ FIRST WIFE. ywillbe no luneral expense to pay, and Dear, dear! no toast; eggs boiled that is quite a saving.” ’ ■ Mrs. peters lip quivered* and her large, blue eye$ filled with tears. Joe longed to quit his heartless speech and comfort her, but he was fearful the de sired ellect was not yet gained. ‘‘So, my dear,” he continued, “if yon must go, I have been thinking of gening another wife 1 .” “Wbati?* cried Mrs. Peters. “Another wife, my love. The house must he kept in order, and the boy? cared for.” The grief was gone from Maria’s face, but h,er teeith were set with a look of fierce wrath. “Another wife, Joseph ! Another wife !” “Ves, 1 think I have ^lecled a good successor. 1 have deliberated a> long lime, when I,was a bachelor,, between her and yourself. You will Like her; she is your bosom friend.” “What Sarah Jngram ?” “Yes, rny dear, I think that on the dav you ascend, I will tnarry Sarah Ingram!” ~ “What! lhat good-for nothing, si Hy. empty-headed old maid, the mother ol my children ! What!” “Well, my dear, it-seems to he the best that I can do. J don’t want to leave my bushier# lo go a courting, and she will have me, I know.” “No doubt! Oh, you great brutal, hateful—i— “Stop, my dear, don’t fly into a fu ry ! We .will try: to spend our last week in happine&L , Oh, by the way, I have a proposition to make,” “Goon, sir! Don’t spare me !” , “Ah, yes, that is the Very thing I wish to do. I know your mind is en tirely engrossed with your as s ension, and I wish to spare you the care of the house. Suppose you invite Sarah here to-morrow, to stay a week !” “What!” J “Then I can arrange our matrimo nial preparations in the evening, while you pre at the lecture,” “What!”? “And you can leave the house in her charge all day. That will give you plenty of lime to go out, and she can learn theNvavs of the house.” “What !”' ’*' r> “Arid 1 , my dear, one little favor. It may be the last I shall ever ask of you. Stay at home one or two days aud show her around, where you keep things, and so on, so lhat she won’t have arry trouble in keening order after you go. You will do this to oblige me, wonU you ?” Mrs. Peters, for an answer, rolled up the ascension robe into a ball and fiied it at Joe. The cotton, scissor#, work- basket and table-cloth followed each olher in rapid succession, and he was unable to fly. Then Maria’s rage found vent in wotds. “So ! you are going to marry Sa rah ! Thai’s the reason you whistled so nice when you came in ! But you shan’t marry here, sir! You shan’t havethaL gratification ! I will slay, if it is only to spite you ! I won’t go ! I tell you, Mr. Peters, that I won’t go !” “But, my dear, you must go it you are come for.” “I woti’t go!” “But consider, my dear.” “I won’t go !” “But what will Sarah Ingraham think of it ?” "Sarah ! Don’t dare to mention Sa rah to me again ! I—I—I—oh !—I am fairly choking!” and the little wo man threw herself into a chair, in a fit of hysterics. Next morning Mr. Peters met Fred in the street. “Well, old boy, how goes it ?” “Fred,” was the reply, “I am the happiest man in the world ! 1 have regained my wife and domestic peace, and got rid ofa busy, tattling old maid, who, under pretence ofloving my wife, was everlastingly interfering in all our household ari-angefneiit's.” “Then Mrs. Peters will not ascend, will she ?” “If Sarah is to be my #econd wife, and step-mother to my children, Mrs. Peters has concluded that, on the whole she will not go.” as hard as brickbats, and the coffee, stone cold.” And Mr. Peters rose from the table in a temper by no means amiable, and rang the bell violently. There wa$ no answer. He rang again, a third, a fourth lime, and still no answer ! Out of all patience, he went to the door and called—“Marta ! Maria!” A slight, pretty liLtle woman dressed in a a soiled, tumbled wrapper, with hair in a state of direful confusion, an swered his summons. She had one of those bright faces which Nature intend ed should be decked with continual smiles ; but now, all its roses in bloom, it was drawn to its full length, and the large blue eyes had a serious, or rath er doleful expression, totally at vari ance with their usual joyous look. Her voice, too, had lost its melodious, ringr ing sound, and was subdued to a dis mal whine. , ■ “What is it Joseph ?” “Where’s Bridget?” “Gone out for me. 1 want more white ribbon for my ascension robe.” Mr. Peters said a very naughty word and then continued : “Cold coffee, hard eggs, breakfast not fit to eat.”. “I wish,” whined his wife, “you would think less of ternporial matters, and turn your attention to the great end of life.” “Hang it all, madam, I like to en joy my life while I do have it- Here was I, the happiest man in the United States, with a pleasant home, a chatty, cheerful, loving wife,, and good, quiet children; and now, since you have joined the Millerites, what am I ?” “Oh, Joseph, if you would only, only come into that blessed circle.” “Oh, Maria, if you would only come out of it. “Where are the boys ?” “I’m sure I don’t know.” “Are they going to school to-day ?” “No-, dear Joseph.” “For what reason, madam, ?” “My dear, the teacher has given up the school, and is turning her mind to more exhaulted objects. Oh ! Joseph, turn now, while there is time. You have still a week for preparation and repentance.” “Repentance ! Well, whtn I take up the subject, it will take more than a week to put it through.” And Mr. Peters put on his coat and took up his hat.” “Joseph,” said hi# wife, “you need not send home any dinner. I shall be out, and I shall take the boy’* over to their uncle’s to dinner.” Joe made no answer, unless the vio lently emphatic manner in which he closed the door was one. Muttering with anger, he strode into a restaurant to make a breakfast. Here he was hailed by one of his friends, Fred. Sommers, who looked up as he heard Joe’s order. “Hallo !” he cried, “you here !”— Wbat are you doing here at breakfast time? Wife sick?” “No.” “Had a quarrel ?” “No.” < “Gone to town ?” “No.” “Then why don’t you breakfast at home. Chimney on fire ?” • “No.” “Servants all dead !” “No.” “Weil, what in thunder is to pay?” “Maria’s joined the Millerites!” “Fred gave a long, shrill whistle, and then said : “Going to ascend next week ?” “Yes, and if I don’t commit suicide in the meantime, you may congratu late me. I am almost distracted.— Can’t get a decent meal, children run ning riot, servants saucy, house all in confusion, wife got the blues, either quoting the speeches of the elders at me, of sewing on a white robe, and groaning every third or fourth stitch. Hang it all, Fred, I’ve a great mind' to take poison or join the army. “H’m ! h’m ! you give enchant ing picture, but 1 think I can suggest a cure.” “A cure ?” “Yes, if you will promise to take my advice, I will make your Home pleas ant, your wife cheerful, and your chil dren happy.” “Do it!” cried Joe. “I’ll follow your word like a soldier under his so-' perior officer. What shall I do ?’* At lea lime Mr. Peters entered his home, whistling, Maria was seated at her sewing, and there were no signs of preparations for the evening meal. “Maria, my dear,” said Mr Peters, “is tea rrady ?’, “I don’t know,” was the answer, “have been out all day attending meet* !

By the way, my dear, has it ever occurred to you that I shall be left a widower with three children ? I think I am a hand some man yet, my love,” and Joe walked over to the glass, passed his fingers through his hair, and pulled up his collar. Maria looked up rather sor* ptised. “You see, dear, it is rather a relief for you to go quickly, you know.

It is not merely that this eminently Oriental Scholar claims to have discovered the original records from which the Book of Genesis was composed, bat he illustrates his position by details of the most striking kind. He himself said : The progress now reached in the col lection and arrangement of the Ninevah inscribed fragments, made it beyond a doubt that he would be able to derive the whole of the history given ip the Book of Geuesis, from the time of Abraham, from the original documents; and it was not tQo much to expect that almost the same facts and descriptions would be found in the Bible. He hoped very soon to have ready a paper on the Garden of Eden (Paradise,) in which he would slirfw, that «rt|s the original name of Babylon. The liver bore the 6ame name, and the Baby lonian documents gave an exact geograph ical account of the Garden of Eden. The flood and. the Tower of Babel would be most amply illustrated in Babyloniau doc uments.

To the Honorable Members of Senate and House of Representatives of the Congress of the United Stales : As :he Slate of Georgia is not now permitted to have representation, or a voice in Congress, I adopt this method of addressing you in defence of the reputation, the rights and interests of her people. Under pretense of defending himself against the partial exposure of his crimes by the honorable Judiciary Committee of the Senate, Governor Bullock, in his letter of May 23, ad dressed to certain members of Con gress, continues to fabricate and re peat falsehoods and slanders against the people of the State of Georgia, through the instrumentality of which, and the means of corruption drawn from the Treasury, he has now 1or two years agitated Congress, promoted discord, delayed the restoration of peace and good-fellowship among the people and States of the Union, retar« ded the prosperity of the State, viola ted the constitution ’and laws, usurped the authority, aud sacrificed the rights of our people. The statement made by the Senate Judiciary Committee lhat Gov. Bul lock did “use improper means to influ ence the rote of Senators upon the Georgia question," and the statement of Hon. Senator Fkrry, that, “had Georgia tor the last two years Itcen in the hands of men of h igh yati iotism, if it had been in the ha nds of men who were looking to, the welfare of the ^nation instead of their own pecuniary advancement, we might have had a different slate of things from, what exists to-day," are truths mildly stated, and well known by sad experience to the people of Georgia. . Gov. Bullock, in his letter, with an effrontery which would make Satan smile in approbation, stales that, in bis representations concerning Georgia, he has been careful to avoid exaggeration and to state only the literal truth,” and he challenges contradiction. I do not now think of a single im portant statement made by Governor Bullock, relative to the condition ol affairs in Georgia, which hais not been exaggerated or false. The slanders which bo caused to. be raked from all parts of the Slats and presented to the Reconstruction Committee of the 40th Congress, 3d season were disproved by ihe unanimous testimony of more than one hundred judges, ordinaries mayors of cities, and sworn witnesses, who were among the best citizens re siding in different parts of‘the State"; and many of whom were amonjg the 1 best Republicans in the State. The false statement of his con versa tions with President Grant, whfcfr fc telegraphed over the coantry to ini- fluence legislation against Georgia, were dented by authority from Presi dent Grant. His fate letter, and his testimony before the Judiciary Committee, are made up of exaggerations and false hoods. . ,n t y In bis letter, be repeats the now de- mo istrated falsehood, that there were “thirty or more” ineligible meenhers in the original organization of the Geor gia Legislature. He .then knew that of the fourteen “flagrant” ca3e$ tried by General Terry’s Military Commis-' sionet, but three had been declared ineligible, and that eleven were de clared eligible. ■ He also knew, that the sixteen men who declined to qual j- ify,were induced to do so by his threats aud promises, his falsehood and ireacfi- ery. In his letter he refers to his official communication to the Legislature, on the expulsion of the colored members. In tha' communication he denounced the seating of the minority Candidates, as a violation bT the Constitution, the laws of Congress, and ihe principles of republican government, and he threatened the Legislature wilh C011- gressional action. But circumstances change,, and so does Gov. Bullock, In General Ter ry’s teporl (Senate doc. No. 41) is an argument oi twelve pages, which he sa ys> [page 12] “is a presentation ‘of the law of the whole case in Behalf of Bullock. In this argument he says: • * “Without question ifa person nominally elected is lotted ineligible, lhat body [the Legislature] wouid declare the next highest elected and give him the seat. * # Indeed, there has never been, in the Stale any doubt of the application o> thi^law to the Legislature until the present crisis ha3 given it birth.” General Terry, was finally convinc ed (see his report) that he could not legally seat the minority candidates, but he allowed his acknowledged stib ordinates, Governor Bullock and the Legislature 4o seat seventeen of them, thus giving Governor Bullock control of the Legislature which he now seeks to perpetuate. Gov. Bullock, in his letter, refers to an examination into his official con duct by a committee of the Georgia House of Representatives in January, 18G9, and says, lhat they “finally re ported hack a resolution to the effect that they could find nothing affecting my official or personal integrity.” Rj. this Governor Bullock has suppressed facts, which is the equivalent of inten tional falsehood. The majority of this committee made a “white-washing” re port. The minority ol the committee reported in substance, the fact that Governor Bullock was guilty in nume rous instances of appropriating the public money contrary to law. The minority report was adopted In the House by a vote ol 86 yeas, to 37 nnJjts and to-day he stands cbaDged by that action with impaachable offences for violations of the Constitution which he had sworn to support. Governor Bullock', in his letter, boasts lhat he “shall leave the office of Governor of Georgia with clean hands,” but with his “private fortune' greatly diminished,” &c. If public reputation and the tax-books can be relied upon, he had no “private lor- tune” when he took the office of Gov ernor; and even now the State Trea* urer, N. L. Angier, who has published eleven diilinet charges and specifica tions against him for violations of the constitution and laws in the use of the public funds, &c.‘, states that “the Governor neither gives in nor p.ays any. State, county, city, or revenue (income) tax and yei he spent SI4,* 500 in YVashington between the fifth rtf March and the twenty-first of April last, using “improper means” lo influ ence Congress against the State. This rale of expenditure for the twenty-five months which he has been Governor, would have required a private fortune of $246,800. Read the report of the thirteen pages of Governor -Bullock’s testimony be fore the Senate Judiciary Committee for an i.lustration both of the “unwill ing” and the ‘swift’ witness. In an swer to the third and fourth questions he denies all distinct knowledge of why the colored members of the Geor gia Legislature came to Washington, la his fourth answer he says : “I do not know that I can say that I knew ol any dispatches sent to have them come;” and it required the twelve lol lowing questions by the committee to draw from bim the fact lhat he did telegraph to Atlanta for them to come to Washington with the ‘design’ and ‘purpose ol exercising an influence in opposition to the Bingham amendment.’ Such was the general character of his testimony until he came to Chapman and Senator Pomeroy. No candid man can read carefully Governor Bullock’s testimony concern ing Senator Pomeroy Irona page H3 to page 148, and eajteeially in theJjglitol Senator Pomeroy’s statement on page. 149, \yithout a conviction, too strong to be re«isted,|that the whole story iseitbefr the result of a conspiracy between Chapman and Governor Bollock, or a cold-blooded tpaligiant fabrication to ityure the jreputHtiun aud destroy the* influence of an honorable Senator }vho. had opposed some of his wicked de signs upon Georgia.
