TheUdy was again posed, and she said nothing. The next morning at six o'clock. Mr. Swallow again informed his wile that it was time to get up, coupling the remarks with ihe suggestion that in future she must save him the trouble of reminding her of so necessary a duty.

Don't you hear, Mrs. SwaHow?' quoth Solomon. Hut atas! a slight consciousness was the only response from Mrs. Swallow.

Now this was a ticklish point with Solomon, but be was prepared for if. •What says my system on this head?' said he to himself, musingly. 'It says that a lazy wife who lies abed in the morning may be'very properly reminded of her duty by the injudicious application of a coercion pin.' And this tnagrjificienl idea scarcely crossed the threshold Of his brain-pan than he inserted the point of a huge pin in the rightarm of the sieeper. As mig'it be expected, the intended effect inslaniiy followed the cause, for the astonished Mrs. Swallow sprang from the bed as though she had been thrown from it by an earthquake. Hut, alns, her agiiity was too strikingly manifested, for sha not only all

but annihilated poor Solomon in rolling over him, but sha dashed his pattent lever from the nail which suspended it to the wall, and broke the dial into a thousand pieces. •What a dreadful dream.' ejaculated Mre.

TERRE-HAUTE, INDIANA FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1853.

•Now/ said the lady, 'it is my lorn aod jumping ap she sent the slop-bowl to keep company with the tea-table companions.

Tills was, of course, tsto much for Solomon it snapped asunder the last remaining chord of the little reason ha had! left, and he sl&pped his helpmate—we use the word in the mast positive sense—on the right cheek but scarcely had the echo of the blow melted into silence ere the indignant dame seized the lea-pot and shivered it into atoms agaiost the bead ot the devoted Mr. S. Nor was this all. for as be was rolling heels over head from the effect of tha awful collision, she piled the remainder of the tea-traps till there was scarcely a bone in his body which had not echoed to the shock of cups and saucers, and roands of battered toasts.

Unable to carry on ihe war any longer for that day, Solomon gathered himself up as well as he could, aod, vowing vengeance be stuck his pipe in his mouth, his hands in his pocket, and then commenced whistling a jig i° the tune the old cow died of, looking as if he could bite a piece of the griddle without setting his teeth on edge His good lady. too. being determined to follow the example of her lord and master in other matters besides the delph breaking, placed another chair back to back with Solomon's, and after providing herself with a novel, sat herself down and began reading away, as if there was no such things as beds to make or stockings to mend in all Christendom.

Here the affectionate couple sat for six mortal hours, each bent npon sitting the other down, and ruminating the while upon their relative position. But it must be confessed that Mrs. Swallow had the best of the bargain, for independent of Solomon's mangled head, and parboiled neck and shoulders. he saw as clear as mud, that the watch dial and (he crockery must be replaced so that the reducing of the first chapter in his voluminous system to practice must be attended by an outlay of at least twenty dollars. This being the case, he might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb thought he. and with that rose from the chair, stole gently from the room, and turned the key upon the gentle Mrs. Swallow.

The turning of ihe key made her aware ofhis intention, when she rushed to the door, but it was too iale. 'Open the door this instant, Mr. Swallow.' •Not until I have kept you here seven days upon bread and water,' returned the victorious Solomon as he went his way rejoicing.

But, alas! how fleeting is human greatness in about half an hour he returned to see how matters were going, but scarcely put his eye to the key-hole when he began roaring like a bull, for Mrs. Swallow had torn every one of his fine linen shirts (that on his back excepted) into pieces, to make a rope to let herself down from the window nor was this all, for upon further examination he discovered that she had also thrown a variety of chair cushions, bed linen, &c., into the dirty yard to make her descent safe.

Oh, chop-fallen, Solomon Swallow!

The archteves of the Swallows ars silent as to the remaining occurrences of this eventful day, but on the very next morning, about seven o'clock, Mr. Swallow popped his head from under the blanket, and said, 'Mr*. Swallow, dear, isn't it time to jjet *Ycs, returned the lady. *an$ you may when you have lit the fir© and put on the kettle.'

Poor Solomon! There was no alternative. So he set about his work with an alacrity which showed that he had the terror of the broken head and demolished body linen running strongly through his memory. In short Solomon was a conquered man. That day he had lo prepare breakfast, sweep the room, &c. The next, his assistance was required in the rubbing of the furniture and the making of beds: and before the week was out he was initialed into the mystery of washing coarse towels.

Degenerate Solomon Swallow! Nay, in after times when the young Swallows began to gather around him, it is whispered that his better half used to employ him at yet more conjugal offices.

About five years after the celebration pf his nuptials, a friend called to see him. •You must go with me to the theatre, Mr. Swallow,' said the friend. MMDl•lie shan't,' said Mrs. Swallows •He must,' said the friend, 'and so must you.' may, but Ac can't,' replied the dame, 'for he must stop at home with the children.'

And Mrs.Swallow did goto the play,and Solomon stopped at home. /M O, hen-pecked Solomon Swallow!

Ti» moral of this authentic tale 1*. that "bachelor's wives and old maid's children" are always excellent in theory, but las bad as can be in practice, and that a managed wife is better than no wife at all. Had Solomon only treated his better-half decently in the beginning things might have gone on smoothly to the end, bat as it was, he compelled her to be a Tartar in her own defense, he had to lake li»

A Im*t of FVaskfea.

A day or two ago. say the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, while strolling along Chestnut aireet. we saw.a lady superply dressed, that the eery sight of her &ogge*ted the thought of empty pociets. insi as we panted for a moment before the window of a t«etare store, this 'lady gay' stopped also, aod entered into conversation with several of her fashionable acquaintance*, fas it seemed,} who was nearly as richly dressed as herself. At this instant—horrible to relate!—two children with unkepl halr,# faces, and apparel of the most description, rushed npy *nd their arms around the superbly lady, exclaimed— •Oh! mamma, pappa says come home right away and nnss the baby, whBe be goes after three coats worth of coel to bile teters eriihr

This incarnation of bosnbasi is deJUO^d I* lor some lime, at least, to afford excellent food for the scribbling world. Santa Anna is more ftt&n an ordinary character.

There is no nan who better understands the elements of the Mexican race. He is the only* being who can control that eccentric muss o! humanity. Santa Anna is the

true Phoenix of the limes. As a general thing military defect is political damnation It is not so with the present head ofoursisler Republic. Some years since a small body of Texans. undisciplined, but good marksmen and bold as so many gods, thought proper lo resist the encroachment oi a nation numbering eight millions with this same

duced him down lo Buffalo Bayou, aud their victory was positively laughable. Santa Anna was caught running as a stricken deer. The poor wretch had disguised himself. The battle of San Jacinto which gave liberty to Tex*.s was really comical. The heroes of that strife, even now smTfe at the ease with which a small force captured the large body of their foe. Subsequent to the defeat of ihe Mexican chieftain. Ihe United States in their federative capacity felt aggrieved with Mexico. They waged war and took away from her an immense tract of htsrierr itory. The United States could have absorbed the whole nation and its entire possessions, but the victors were humane. In coniest Santa Anna was in ihe van of the Mexican troops. However fortunate in attaining eminence with his own race, Santa Anna has been singularly unfortunate in his collisions with the Anglo American tribe. Vet his defeats by them does not militate against his heroism or general capacity, should be esteemed a luxury by any nation or warrior to be defeated by our Great Republic England in limes past has twice bowed to the supremacy of our arms. Santa Anna is a great man. He displayed considerable philosophy in going to South America. While engaged in cock-fighiingf he was ruminating about Mexico and the "Barbarians of the Norih." His recal was not, as he would intimate to the world, the spontaneous movement of tho Mexican peo pie. It was tho consumaiion of the secrct working of his ngents for years past. A great and suocesiul schemer is Santa Annn. The bread he kneads i» Mexican mind Under his hand it becomes as plastic as the softest dough of a San Antonia baker. Santa Anna is now the supreme head of the Mexican Republic. Ha owes ihe place lo his individual plotiings. Santa Anna i* a

from circumstances. Napoleon, become Emperior of France, becauso the insar.e workings of superior minds rendered prominent a name. Socialists and the Mountain party distracted the country and the Kiench nation reposed upon the snalest evil. San ta Anna has achieve position from personal labor and individual genius. He is a great man. it ia difficult to tell how he will de* mean himself towards the United States. lie can do what he pleases, with the Mexican race. If he pleased lo.-r,rr0W) j0 clare war njalnst this Republic a nation of Vassals will obey his beheasts nnd arm iNniieives. We do not believe that Santa Anna will involve the two countries in a difficulty. Mexico now owes fifty millions of doliers. Peace is her policy. Santa Anna is intelligent. We think ho will endeavor to establish a strong government, li would not surprise us if the pseudo-republic of Mexico, in less than six months became a monarchy. We aurmise from excellent data, that Banta Anna will lie the Emperor of Mexico.—San AtUonia Ledger.
