The wedding was over, the guests bad departed, and the happy pair had retir ed to their chamber, and were snugly ensconced in bed, when Jack, in the coarse of a quiet conversation with his wife, unwittingly alluded to bis favorite subject, by casually speaking of himself as being a democrat. “ What!” exclaimed she, turning sharply and suddenly toward him, “ are you a democrat ?” Yes, madam,” replied Jack, de lighted with the idea of having a patient listener to his long restrained oratory— “ Yes, madam, I am a democrat; a real Jeffersonian democrat, attached to the great progressive party, a regular out and outer, doubly dyed aud twisted in the wool.” “Jug double and twist yourself out of this Led, then,” interrupted his wife; “ I am a whig, J am, and will never sleep with any man professing tbe abom inable doctrine yon do 1” Jack was speechless from absolute a- nuzement. That the very wife of his bosom should prove a traitor, was horri ble 1 she must be jesting. He sasygep strated—in vain; tried persuasion— ’twas useless; entreaty—’twas no go.— She was in sober earnest, and the only alternative left him was a prompt renun ciation of bis heresy, or to a separate bed in another room. Jaek did not hes itate. To abjure the great and estab lished doctrines of his party, to renounce his allegiance to the faith that had be come identified with his very; being, to surrender those glorious principles which bad grown with his growth and strength ened with bis strength, to the mere whim and caprice of a woman, was utterly ri diculous and absurd, and he threw him self from tbe bed and prepared to leave tbe room. As he was leaving the door his wife screamed out to him— “ I say, my dear, whon you repent your heresy and repent your past er rors, just knock at my door, and perhaps I will let you in.” The door was violently slammed, and Jack proceeded wrathfully in quest of another apartment. A sense of insulted dignity, and the firm conviction that he was a martyr in the ‘ right cause’ strengthened his pride, and he resolved to bold out until he forced bis wife to capitulation. In the morning she met him as if noth ing had happened, but whenever Jack ventured to return to the rapture of the night previous, there was a * laughing devil’ in her eye, which bespoke her power, and extinguished hope. A sec ond time he repaired to bis lonely couch, and a second time he called upon bis pride to support him in the struggle, which he now found was getting despe rate. He vented curses ‘ loud but not deep,’ on the waywardness and caprice of tbe sex in general, and at his own wife in particular—wondering how much longer she would hold out—whether she suffered as accurately as be did, and tried hard to delude himself into the be lief that she loved him too much to pro long the estrangement, and would come to him in the morning—-perhaps that ve ry night, and sue for reconciliation.— But then came tbe recollection of that inflexible countenance, of that unbend ing will, and of that laughing, unpitying eye—and he felt convinced that he was hoping against hope, and despairingly he turned to the wall for oblivion from the wretchedness of his own thoughts. The second day was a repetition of the first; no allusion was made to the forbidden subject on either side. There was a look of quiet happiness and cheer fulness about the wife, that puzzled Jack sorely, and be felt that all idea of forcing her into a surrender must be a- bandoned. A third night he was alone with bis thoughts. His reflections were more se rious and compassioned than on the night previous. What they were, of course were only to himself, but they seemed to result in something decided, forabout midnight, three distinct raps were made at bis wife’s door. No answer, and the signal was repeated in a louder tone, still all was silent, and a third time tbe door shook with violent attacks from the outside “ Who’s there ?” cried the voice of his wife, as if just aroused from a deep sleep. “ It’s me; my dear, and perhaps a little the best whig you ever did see.” Tbe resolution in his opinions was radical and permanent. He removed to another county, became popular, and offered himself as a candidate on the whig ticket fer the legislature, and was elected, and for several sessions repre sented his adopted county, as a firm and decided whig. man heart bade tbe wretched boy go forth in such weather and sueh storm. The condition of a friendless, motherless little one, is to our mind tbe most de plorable on earth, and the being who could ill use or neglect an orphan most assured ly suffer^-eit her in tbb world or the future. “ I’m a little bound boy, now,” alas! how mournfully eloquent those few words; “ I’m a little bound boy, now.” Did be remember when tbe light of • mother’s love was continually sunshine to him? when he was the star of her ax- istence, when his little lips wreathed in smiles, were pressed again and again by her lips, and his eyes were mirrors for her love beaming free ? Did he remem ber the time when a place on her bosom on which to pillow his hoad was recom pense for all his troubles, when her sweet voice soothed him to slumber, and tbe depths of her beaming eyea were graves for all bis disquietudes V- Then doubly heart-rending the thought and the feeling that he is “a little bound boy nowhe cannot loap over tho door-step as of yore, and fearlessly cling to the haud of his mother; no 1 he moves with a cringing tread within the stran ger’s dominie; he starts at the smallest request, for the tones of the Btranger are cold and icy; there is no music in them as there used to be iu tbe voice of his mother, tbe sweet request is changed to the peremptory command, and he flies over the pavement to execute the tyran nical order, as if every brick were a live coal beneath his feet Perhaps be remembers the titaff when be harried from school happy bat hun gry, and awe of the welcome slice of good, Bweft bread; bat is almost starving, he dares not ask with the trusting familiarity of one who knows his every reasonable wish will be sup plied. “ My mother Is dead ;” oh 1 the al ter desolation of spirit which a child mast experience on beholding the death- cold brow of an only parent. He stood, perhaps, by her bedside, and felt the heavy pressure of her band, heard her wild prayer, and clung to her cold, life less clay. Then, it may be, he was con signed to the house of charity, from thence he was bound oat, God help him, where the milk of haman kindness flow ed not through human channels for him; bound out; to toil where the children of his own age, in tbe same family, were sheltered from tbe rough winds of heav en, and cared for so tenderly.” The vision of that desolato child, standing in the drifted sno.w heaps, the tears freezing on bis cheeks,- bis poor, hands red and numb, his limbs all trem bling, has often since obtruded itself on our vision ; aud that plaintiff wail, “ I am a jittle bound boy, now,” oh T bow does its searching pathos penetrate our inmost soul. We look sometimes upon the rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes of those near aud dear to us, and picture such a fate for them,' and the blood shrinks back to our heart What! they sleep in tbe broken garret where tho snow sifts through ? they feel the hard hand of anger upon tbeir quivering flesh ? they pass long, terrible days, and dark, lonely nights; and no sweet kite dimple their cheeks, no soft, loving arms enfold them, no heart beat close to theirs? And yet, we shudder while we write, such is the fate of thousands, once as carefully reared as they; no older in years, but in bitter experience, aged— tbeir souls seared, blackened, by unkind- ness; the elements of hatred burnt into tbeir very hearts by tbe crnel taunt, and the unfeeling sneer. Be careful ye who* have charge of sueh unfortunates; be kind to them for the sake of your own dependent offspring, for in God’s myste rious providence, they may in future years be laid hi the grave, leaving tbeir little ones to heartless charities. We had rather be deceived, thank God, than tarn from tbe child-beggar with * cat ting sarcasm, or tell it to go about i’» business, or start back with honor if its soiled garments touch our uugioveaed hand ; yes, we bad rather tew thousand , times be deceived, and pity those unfor tunates who appeal to ns foi sympathy by the very minuteness of tbeir misery —pity and aid them.

The Philadelphia Sun relates that as one of the Police officers of that ci|y was proceeding along tbe sidewalk on Sunday afternoon, wbile tbe snow was falling thick and the wind blowing in eddying gusts and piercingly cold, the sobs of a child attracted bis attention.— He soon found a poor little boy iq an alley standing up to bis middle in tbe snow, and benumbed with the cold.— The little fellow told tbe officer that he had been sent out to clear away tbe snow from the alley 4 “ Go in the house,” said the officer, 44 and tell your mother that she ought lobe ashamed of herself.” “ My mother,” replied the boy, “ is dead.
