Caesar, the resource of changing his home.

However, he merely replied "Very well. Csear, you miy refer to me far a character," and with a heavy heart he walked fo his store. That day, resolving to put his threat into practice, our hero did dine at the hotel. His wife, after finishing her dress fitting, shopping, and card leaving, went to take hir dinner, as ihe guests of Mesdames Squandei field and Pinchington, at their hoarding house. She found that both those ladies had gone together up the river; one on a visit to an acquaintance at Burlington.the other to see a relative; living at Bristol. Nevertheless she accepted' the slight invitation of her former hostes. the mistress of the establishment, to stay m.d dine with her, as the dinner bell was about to ring. Towards evening, Mr Woodbridge came home in much better temper: ni was dispos

After a while, she turned to the wall and lhr.w , r handkerchief over her head. "She is touched at last," thought Woodbridge. -To hide her lace and weep in silence is a good symptom. 1 have hopes of her yet." He then "softened h;s tone, and made a tender and powerful appeal to what he called her best feelings. In

A CRUDE PLAN FOR A NATIONAL BANK.

The United States lo be a stockholder to

the amount of ten millions of dollars.

The Slates separately to take the balance

of forty millions of dollars.

The mother bank, at alto its branches, to be prohibited from issuing more paper dollars than three to one of coin on hand. All issues, eilher by the mother bank or branches. to be redeemed only where made payable, and to be recieved by the General and Slate Governments in payment of all dues. The mother bank and branches to be prohibited from making discounts, except upon real legitimate business paper. The directors of the mother bank to be appointed by Congress annually. The mother bank to be managed by twenty directors and a president. Congress (o appoint three directors to serve in the branch of each State.
