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.

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.

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.

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 'his tortured breast. There was no palliating j | eircum.-tai.re to extenuate his guilt, or cheek | ' tin* reproaches of awakened »onsciei ce. If Ellen d.eil, l.e was ler inurt'e er. If. I perhaps she might recover! He threw him- I self on liis ki cus, and lilting his hands to Hea ven, swore so'emidv t ever again to toi ch a drop of intoxicating 'iqnor if Ellen were but spared.

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.

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.

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!

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 t.Kit iiltlKiugh he htid assurances ftom Governor Clinton of safety for his person and property, yet there vvere some c\|>euted visitors that he dal not wish to see.

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 hoys. I was in the second story, and oil step ' ping to the window, saw a tall figure in tar nished regimentals, with a large cocked hat 'and nit enormously long sward, followed by a ! crowd of boys, who occasionally cheered him with huzzas, of which he seemed insensible. He came up to my door and stopped. I could see no more—my heart told me it was Ethan NO. 29. Allen. I shut down mv window and retired behind my table and bottle.
