“ Ves, r'eare-t,” rejilicd Edward, passing
his arm aflt'Clio lately around her waist— “ves
iVaie.-l. we sii.ill ni(le«.'(l l-e liuppy ; wiioconld
be otherwise with thee ?”
\nd tiiey were happy. Happy as united

I liey had married lor 10-. e, and both loved
sincerely. Deeming that the world, in giving
li.em lo eacaotl.er. had |oured its r.ei.esi

freely i) t e sweet • neha. trnenl oi’lhe pres t.l,
and looked so. wnrd w.l.i t -e eager lio, e ill.
ness of youth to aliti* time of uuiateriiipled fe
licity. Earth seemed a paradise, wlieie all
iirotmd was stilling at t eir deep-felt joy.
T.iey | lucked the fragrant flower.-, and dream
ed l ot of the wilder winds.
Edvvard . wasti.e o ily son of a poor
luit religion, woman, a widow who supported!
her .ell and him by ink.ng in needle wo:k.
Her iitmo-t eflints had hcen umihleto procme
frr him more tlmn a common education, but
she Imd endear oretl to instil into Ins mind such
principles n; might make him a u.-cful ami an
honorable mem her of sou tel y. At-tn cry
age he was humid appieut ce to ti call.let
in .ker. His mother trembled ' t the danger
lit; incurred of having ins morals corrupted bs
evil companionship, but it was i ecesst.rv t ml
he should iu'ijiinn t. e ability of supp'oi ting
hansell, and s.e ml and prated that the
lessons of viiti.e wit ch she li.-ul ii.culeateil,
in ght piu-erve iiini ihiough t! e ordeal he w. s
compel ed to undergo. He ng a lowed to
hu nil at home, he so tunat. ly escaped many
nit' e lei plat,o'is and tdlme.nei is to which
he would ot -otwise have lieen expo ed. 11 is
industry ami i repine ahieeomlue,’gained liir
him ti.e esteem of his mis'er, w nle a hand
some person and p’e s.ng addiess won li e
love of h;s ruasti r’s daughter, a girl nfiilin I
seventeen. On becoming of age. he oft’eied
~nr nis hand, aud was exeepte '. 11 s marriage
was for some time del.ne I, In tile sudden and
in.eXj (si'ted death of h:s i not her ; hut when he
.at leogtn led his voung Inide to the altar, it
was amid begun I wishes of the r mutual
irlends, who pie heled for them ;i bright iiiul
pins; cions eaieer.
'V o t.iat gazed upon them in that hour of
their joy »■ and pride would have ; rndicied -si er
wi.-e? Mo.itus pass and away; spring \ ielded
to summer, and the autumnal Irteezes Imd
g.\e:i a variagaied fo’liage to the trees, w i(hout
a cloud arising to tlisturh t eit liappu ess.
Edward became ti e partner ofhis father-in-law
wlio was driving a prosperous husitess; and
plenty and contentment continued to snide
upon Ins home. Alas a fearful change was al
amid. ******
‘•.Mist ion, indeed, go out tonight?”—
exclaimed Eden, in a to e of diwip|>o:ntment.
o. e evening in Se; tenilier, ns Edward rose
an ! put on his liat. “ Must you indeed go
out 7 On. I expected to pass the time .so
i onFortably !”
•‘l..deed, I must, Elen.” he rcpl’ed— “I
pioui .-ed to tin et some friends, nnd omst rot
break inv word ; b.t trust me, love, 1 shall lie
back In ten,”
He departed, and Ellen sat down to her
woik wit.i a leuling of tn,basil ess wh cli s! e
v.milv eudeavouied to mereome. She could
not co .real from herself t..e fact, that Edward
had of late lieen more alnoad during ti e eve
nings than ns utl, and a natural fear that he
might lie g*row ing tired of her company, in
truded oa her mmd, and» spite her efforts to sup
press it; bring ng a tear to her eve, mid a
s.iade of sorrow to her lirovv. Slowly and
ueavtlv did the time pass away ; and she be
gan to eel verv lonely. Her nrnd wan e vil
fmu her wo k. ands. eliit m and with five i.sh
impal e.ice to t e unceasing ticking oi the
clock upon the mantel pioee. It seemed as if
the hour of his return would never come,
j Sau coulo no longer goon with her wok;
it was thrown as de, and a hook taken up ;
hut tier test less thoughts could not dwell on
it—so she ni.se tn and looked out into t 1 e (ju et
st'cct, anil up to the cleat blue sky, where
tie moon walked with ner myriad bright at
tendant stars. Never had she lelt so uneasy
lefiite, A piesentieent of evil ha I taken
J possession of her mind, and w ould not l»e re
| yelled. 'Fen came, but not Edward. Never
Imd l.e broken bis promise to her befo e.j
Sire ottcued the vvi tdow and looked out. II ;
was no vvheie to lie seen. Her enr cn-'gh'
t. e sound of a distant step, and ie eye strain-j
edit.to the da i k ness, but ti.e form tat emerged
into t. u inooiikgut was not hjs. \V.tit a latter j
sigh, she rutun.od lo l er seat an<l tesuined her.
work. Half past ten came—eleven. S.ej
1 ugan to glow acroasly alarmed, aud at every j
pausing moment ter tears increased. Some*
one ascended tlie sloop. A load acemed taker 1 1
liorn her l.uait, and she rose eagerly—b t lit!;
site would not show liovv ui.easy slm- had l ien . |
so s. e seated bersclf again, mid pr tem'ed to
he busily engaged- Alas it was only a l I’tglt
luir wl o had mistaken t! e door. Sickening j
wns the distipi iniitment. Her lieart fi-ltas dj
t would break, ui ill she was t o longer able j
110 KUpptess Iter tears. One by otto tlie eity .
clocks strike li e midnight hour ; he came at j
lost, and site flew to meet him. WiuU a *ight!
presented itself to her eyes: he was beastly
drunk.
B tier vveie the tears which Ellen shed that
night. They vveie tlu; first of real sorrow that
.she had ever known. It seemed to her n« if
a blight had fallen on her happiness, which
never more could Ik; restored to bloom, f lei
tiushttnd had become a drunkard nnd a I that
was dreadful in Iter imagination centered in
that word. S e saw before them ruin, misery
and shame. \Vi.en morning came, she ro e
from I er sleepless pillow w lit a mind bewilder
ed and oppre->ed, uncertain bow to act.
E ’ward woke with a feverish pul.-e and an
itciimg head. It was his first debauch, but he
felt not as he should have done. He knew
t int he imd acted vv rorig. and feuted that Ellen
would reproach him. He tbeiefore sat down
to breakfast, with a heart hardened to meet tlu;
unexpected storm. But Ell ui was 100 gentle
to complain. S e loolei up timidly in his
face, but sdd nothing. Her hea it was too full
for common remarks. E Ivvard took Ins oof.
fix; n moody silence, which ue maintained for
some ti.ne. Perceiving at last tint Ellen had
tasteil tolling, lie suddenly demanded why
she ditl not eat.
‘•O, Edvvard!”. was all she could reply,
vainly endeavoring to ic-train her tears.
“ VVa it’s teu cof taki gon so said he
g'tiffly. “If I’ve rn.v'e a Idol of myself, you
needn't cry about it.” ’I hen relapsing into
silence he finished Ins breakfast, aud without a
kind orsoothing word, departed for the shop.
Lo g tlid Ellen retain her seat afiei I e was
gone, almost too much stup.fieil to think.
I he in kindness he imd displayed was t. e
Inr c»t how of all. He had ceased to love
her—had grown weary of her love. T,.e
deep tenderness that gusi ed within her bosom,
o cheris! ed that it had become a part of life,
would meet no mote With a return. Oil, what
agony w- sin that thought ! When at engtu
s e liaised herself Miffic.ently to set aliout her
louschold duties, they vveie performed vvit.i
mechanical precision ; hut alas ! they failed in
giving occupation to ..er mind.
Dinner time arrived, and Edward's heart
s.no'e him when lie returned and gazed upon
t .e pale cheek ami tearful eye of ins young
Wife His mind was in a bettor frame—or
rather, its soreness Imd wort, o f, and no lon
ger dreading reproach, allowed affection to
-esume its former sway, lie pressed Ellen
to his bo-otn. and besought fmgiveness for the
suffering l.e had cau>c I, pioniisitig never to be
guilty of the Ike again.
Joy once mo o became an inmate of their
dwelling, hut it in.lv ptoved a tr nsc.ent guest.
Again and again was Eden lortmed by tl e
ab-euce o' Edward, las neglctct, nnd finally bis
iibu-e. He bail fiillen u.to evil company, arid
rttpid indeed was bis downward course. He
quartelled w ith his father-in law. He plunged
into excess till he gtew teckiess o! the cou.-e
--qt.'euces T e bottle imd the grog shop occu
pied the time that Imd formerly lieen devo'cd
to his business, fie was ua the high road to
ruin.
In the mean lime the hour of Ellen’s con
finement approached. The shocks occasion,
ed hv ti eil coaduet of her husband imd
gieatlv impaittal Iter health, and she look'd
forward w.th gloomy forlHj hugs to the event.
It was an awful crisis. She prayed fiu vet tlv
for support, but .ter fears were stlonger than
Ik r hopes.
The time cn >'.e—passed—and she was safe.
But vy' ere was Edward ? It could not lie
concealed from her; lie had gone out, and
lelt i o word when he should return. Ti.e
morning was far advanced lie hire she saw
him', ami when he found his way lo her bedside,
his teeliiig gait and broken speech proclaimed
how he Imd spent the intervening time. The
shock was more tii.m t e unhappy invalid
could hear ; convulsion followed convulsion,
till till hope of bet recovery had fled.
“S r.” said the physician indigently to Ed.
waul some-Fours niter his ictur i—-•• S.r, your
bruttil conduct has murdered yom wile.”
•* I know it ! I know it!” groaned E'lward,
completely sobe.ed by alarm. “God fotgive
tie I iiever shall forgive myself.”
Bitter, bitter were his reflections, as lie sat \
tliiough the remainder of ti.e day, l.s'uuing tu
i tie steal I y movements of tao-e around him.
and-striving to cateli the slightest .sound that |
esc a j ied fiont his wife’s apur* incut. Ile would
tiave given worlds to have kt elt beside !.er and
implott-d forgiveness, but l.e was forbid her
presence. Tumble was bis icmorse. He
Imd stint k tlie dentil Wow to da- heart that
loved him : Ik; had murdered her whom he had
vowed to honor and pro cut. She Imd trusted
I her all to him. and he Imd wantonly destroyed
II er. Cold drops of ago ay gathered on his
j Irmv, as he thongal over ail the eonsequeiici s
! of bis lolly, and groans of anguish burst ftom

BLIND MAN S BUFF—SPOONS.
Truth is st rant e —stranger than fictiun—[Old Adage.
It never rains but it pours.—[Old Adage.
We know not whether it is that the land
lords in the vicinity of this good city, either for
|extortion, or selling had eider for good chain
! pagt.e, are doomed to suffer or not; hut re
cent occurrences show very clearly that
they have been the prpy of the designing.
It is o:tlv a short lime since the story of the
Old Ciook told how completely a landlord tit
Harlem, was taken in and done for. We are
inclined to think that the case with which the
trick was managed, induced the following to be
played.
Tliere is on Long Island n very pretty and
fashionable hotel well known to many of our
citizens fond of recieation in hot weather, and
! liked not less for the coolness of the sea view
than fur the admirable entertainment that the
hotis - affords— the choiceness of tin; wines,
nnd the agreeable manner of tlie obi ging land
lord.
At this hotel a s! ort time since, arrived a
carriage with four voting wee. The land
lotd was at the dour, the gentlemen alighted.
Ah. Mr. how are you 7” asked 0.. e.
“ How are you 7” inquired the rest.
Mr. . repl.ed quite well, and hoped they
were the same.
It appealed they were till quite well, and this
point lie ng settled, they m'journed to the bar,
and took a drink.
“ We want to dine here,” said one of the
gentlemen.
•• To dine,” said the landlord, lifting up his
evc-biows and les voice at the same time
•• To dine, dine,” said the thiee other g< n e
men in as quiet and natural a manner as it t uy
really meant what they said, which tliev really
did.
“ The fact is.” said the first speaker, tlmt
tempted by tl e fineness of the day. we thought
vve would take a drive over to see if you were
in the land ol tiie living. So give us the (test
sou have got for dinner, and do.i't waste time
in making apologies.”
“ You could not have come more fortunate,
ly,” replied the landlord, “ I go to New-York
market once a w ek only in the dull season,
and I nave only thisdnv leturned with a week’s
supply. If you ■will amuse yourself'with fish
ing for an hour or so, I will he ready tor vou.
You may perhaps catch something.”
“ Perhaps vve may.”
“ You ate fond of sport 7”
“ Very.”
Tito gentlemen proceeded to amuse them*
selves, hut thought inoie of getting the land
lord into ti line than the fishes. Tibet landlord
meantime bustled about, rubbed bis bands in
delight, and thought tnal tlie early commence
ment oi business argued a good and piosper
otis season. He accordingly did bis best, tint)
to conceal his lack ofrlishes, covered me table
with a great profusion of plate, as modern
f" J h.ion»bie.3 do. who feast the eye, rather than
ti.e appetite. It was a splendid afTur. The
' ell rang. T.;c gentlemen oU-ved its summons.
Tney stit down to dinner. After soup t.iey
drank sherry ; with their meat, champagne;
and with the desert, claret. Toe landlord was
convinced, from t..e delicacy oftlte r palates,
they must Ik; gentlemen. At first be wonder
(id that t .ey knew him so well, as be bad no
I recollection of having seen litem before, but lie
Jafervvurds reineuilKtred that they had been
!several times at his l ouse durit g the last sum
liter, and drank a great cl al of wine. Tni.s
! remeiiibran e was the mine extraordinary as
ti e gentlemen hud actually never been there
previously.
After dinner the company requested the
landlord to join them. He did so—and right
j jovial fellows lie thought t .cm and lojinl tuem.
jtiucli jokes tiiey cruckcd—such songs they
|sung—such stories they told, at.d sueli a
j quantity of wine they drunk. They were
| something like gentlemen.
“ What do you think of the clock Story that
has made so much noise in Yuik ?” inquired
. e.
“ Capital, capital, nint it?" said they.
“ Olt, capital,” ne rejo.ned.
“Such ti neat slime, such a clean suck.
To ttike in a landlotd. Capital, capital.”
“ Yes, but lie would’t have taken uie in.”
“ Hi; wouid’i-t 7”
“ No.”
“ You’re r.ot to lie done, elt 7”
“ H-*yther—not.”
“ Not o lie d0..! ?” said the first of tl e gentle
men.
“Not to tie doue?” said the second.
“ Not to be done !” said a third.
“Not to lie (in e. no how you can fix it !”
exclaimed ti:e landlord, in a decided and digni
fied tone of voce, winch served to imply that
the other landlord was not g.f ed w itti quite
so much brain as himself!
“ 'Veil, am-ther bottle of claret, nnd the
b. 11,” said one of t e gentlemen. “It is get
ting late—we must return to town. Order the
carriage.”
The bill and bottle were brought, and the
carriage announced us It-iiig ready.
’ *• It is my turn to pay the bill, I believe,”
| said one.
i “ No, Tom it in’nt. li’» mine.”
“You’re mistaken Harry,” said Tom, “ you
pa id t Ik- last.”
Tom appealed to Joe for tlva correctness
of his statement, who sided with him, and
Harrv appealed to Bill, who bore out his state*
ment.
“ This is a regular fix.” said Tom. “ Th*
feet is Mr. Landlord—but you don’t drink.
Come, gentlemen, bumpers round ! Tlie fact
is vve go rfut a great deal, and take it in tuma.».
to pnv. Capitol plan, w’nt it 7 Fill your *
glass •” '9.
“Capital !’• said tlie landlord, drawing ofTthe
contents.
“ Now, whether it is,” continued Tom, “ the
potency of your wine or not, I don’t know, w®
can’t agree whose turn it is to pay.”
“Never mind.” said Harry, “ we can easily
manage that. Let tlie landlord t« blindfolded
and whichever he catches shall pay.”
“ Capital! capital!” exclaimed the gentle,
men.
•• But, gentlemen,” exclaimed tlie landlord.
“Capital, capital !” shouted tlie gentlemen,
nnd the more the landlord ex;>ostulnted the
more the gentlemen shouted “capital, capi
tal! ”
“ The table!” ot length the landlord was
heart' to exclaim.
“Nonsense! when you get near the table,
we will cry s/tottus /”
“ Sfioons !” said the landlord, and laughed.
“ Spoons !” rei'eatt-d the gentlemen at.d
laughed. Never Itefore was heard such laugh
ing.
At length the landlord was blindfolded.
He hail not lieen long in the interesting and
and gnified attitude whch a man assumes under
such circumstances—his head bent forward—
his hands stretched out—his knees crooked,
liefore one of the gent'eme i, transfeiru g tlie
silver soup-lade! from the tureen to his own
pocket, exclaimed “ xp iovs /”
Thu landlord, thinking hu was near tlie table,
turi ed round and went grouping in an oppo
site diiection. The second gentleman than
si- zing all the spoons on the table, shouted
aloud, “ spoons /”
Again the landlord turned round, when the
third, who hnd been finking tlie silver fo;ks
with wonderful despatch exclaimed “ spootu /”
The laudlotd turned again. Tiie fijnrth
gentlemen men t while transferred four candles
ftom tlietr silver sticks to the recks of sot r
champagne liott'es, which were quite as useful
but iot quite so ornamental. He then put the
candlesticks mto his coat pocket, and all four
went quietly out. In the hull they met a
waiter, nnd told him that the landlord wanted
him to help clear away. The gentlemen tlw-n
hastily got inm their carriage nnd diove off”.
The waiter went immediately to the dining
room, and great was his astonishment nt find,
ing his master playing a “ blind man’s buff”
by himse'f.
“ I letr you,” exclaimed tlie landlord, “Don’t
forget to cry tpoane /”
“ Spootu! ' cried the more and m >re as.
tonis ed waiter.
I) reeled by the vo'ce.theland'o'd approach,
ed him. au<l catching him in his arms, exclaim
e I —“ You have got to -inv !” nt the snme in
stant. he rrmovfd the bandage from It's eyes
ami discovered himselfembr. cing his waiter!
Too gontlumen had decant; ed—his plate
vnnishol—his champagne bottles converted
into candlesticks! In his first rage lie threw
the waiter from him with such violence that his
head came in contact w ith the table nnd over
threw it— It - I’ght-i wore uxtingu : ->he I —plates
and glas cs broke—ami the pair for a second
ot so, were playing ut blind man’s buff in*
del’d.
The landlord, when he recovered himself,
ordered a horse to lie saddled, to proceed to
town nnd lodge a complaint lo tlie police;
hut st this instant tlie gentlemen return
confessing the joke, restored the plate and
paid the bill and the damage.
The landlord is now not quite confident
that his wisdom is not to be (lone, and he con.
fusses that he has learnt a good and cheap
lesson ftom blind, mon's huff and the spoons,
EDITORIAL ADDRESS.
Rivington, the King’s printer, it is known,
i was a terrible tory during the revolutionary
war, nn< was always assailing the rebels,
Ethan Allen, the dare devil of Vermont, de
termined to give him a licking, and some
reminiscences ju the New-York Express,
show the cleaver manner in which Rivington
igot rill of tlie unpleasant affair.
He had been bold in his misrepresentat’ons
of the “ Rebels,” nnd so personal in his remarks

Clinton of safety for his person and property,

was Ethan Al en. R vington was a fine iwiit-
Iv looking man, and wore powder. At last
Allen nppemed. His cleik who first saw
him. vve I knew his master’s horror for Allen.
Rivington afterwards gave to Mr. Dunlap the
following account of the meeting :—“ 1 was
sitting after n good dinner, a'o ic with my bet-
Itle of Madeira before me, when I heard tut un.
i usual noise in the street, md a huzza from tlio

nished regimentals, with a large cocked hat
'and nit enormously long sward, followed by a

with huzzas, of which he seemed insensible.
