Her spirit wa« almoaibroken. Where now were all her happy dream*? Dashed, like a temple by some strong wind—their ruins choked up her'heart. The long an any road wet darkened. The Utile cottage with its honeysuckles. its gardens, its lruit trees, struck by pittileas lightning. The priest and the altar, the*manly form of Willism. with his honejtdark rv«r»—shut from her guileless thought by the cloud of doubt-~of horrid accusation. Visions of officers, and jails, and witnesaes, and disgrace floated before her. ..

TERRE-HAUTE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9^853

Tie ScoMii Wills.

6or pen trembles in our haad as we write 'scolding wife.* for of all curses and tor ments on the fsce of the earth, this demon is surely tho greatest. Her horrible temper has driiren her husband long since to She tavern, where, notwithstanding the terrible penalty he will have to pay for the association, he meets, at least, with smiles aod jovial companions.

A man could He down in ilia swamps or Louisiana, with a raisqueto sucking at every pore of hh skin} and bear it with more 'equanimity, than the everlasting clack of a scolding woman's tongue.

What should be her pleasure—the care of the household^—she makes a misery 40 herself and all around her. tnd particularly to the poor hnsband. who has to listen—if he expect* peace and quietness—when he coies home to a meal, to a recital of all the details of troubles ahe has wiih the servnnts bow BiUy dropped a linle oil on the landing which she knows will never come out. and how little Eliza, left to the care of herself whilst she was looking afier the servant, threw her spools of cotton into the fire and lost every needle she bad in the world.

The husband anxious to molify the irritation says "Never mind my dear, let us have dinner. I wil! bring you plenty of spools of cotton and aeedies when I come home this evening."

There that 5s just like you I declare, Mr. B. it is no use my slaving and working and saving to make both ends meet, with your extravagance. H-aven knows your income not so large, that you can piirchase tpools and needles, when mischievous children choose to destroy them, but its just like youf What do you care about your poor wife, working her finger ends oir to make you comfortable? not a bit, as long as votir shirt buttons are attended to and your stockings mended—that's all us poor wo men are worth.' •But my dear— *l)on't dear «*ne, sir I am not to be smoothed down by any of your fine words •or while I am about 1 will have my say.— Do you see that Mr. Oh! you do—its a bit of cigar, it is. Well I'm sure—and so. in spite of all 1 have said, you got to smoking in the bedroom this piorning. after* went down to see about breakfast. Upon my wcrd, what will you do next? As though I didn't worry and vexstion enough with the servants, with their nasty habits, hut you must add to them.

I) it, Madam am I to have any dinner?* There, that's right begin to swear: it is so manly to an unprotected female.'

Soup, Madam!' J»^lf That's right: go on. go on.'

'No, Madam, I will go ofi*.' A very straight coat tail is seen dashing down the street, and in a few minutes afterwards en anxious but quiet looking gentleman is ordering a mattoti-chop at Victor's, and drinking an uncommonly strong glass of brandy and water. Meantime the devoted wile is amusing herself with the hysterics. the only bad feature of ^hiuh js, Ujjat he recovers.—N O Delia. '1 1

Mrs. Illabber—A Hoiae Sketch. Before her dressing glass sat Mrs. Blab ber witb a pale, and moody look. Ifer husband had gone out to the Corner grocery, to get a—no matter what, and she was alone. She was in dishabille, with a morning gown hanging loosely on h6r shoulders, tike a dust cloth on a statue 4Ier features were pale and haggard, intersected with deep itues, that the vulture Envy had clawed there.. Her eyes were ahaded with blue circles, dyed by the contending passions of jealousy, hate, and by corroding envy ol all who supported a higher style than herself. No one that had seen Mrs. Blabber on the previous night at the soiree, in the two story mansion down the street, would have recognised her in the normal condition. The night before she was in the abnormal state, and through powdering and puckering, looked just the thing. *^h!' thociglu Mrs. Blabber, *s1eep and uncouoious rubbing of the skin tn slumberous moments work strange alterations on the face divine, and but that wo all know ouVown agfrs. one might almost persuade one's self thai tnife was growing o!d.? And Mrs. Blabber heaved a sigfi.

With a pale and moody look sat Mrs Blabber before her dressing glass, ami communed silently, earnestly, with herself. Unoonciouwly, and from the fullness of her heart spake her moat it frum her heart if she had one. like an overful lea-kettle, thai from two much boiling cast out bubbles. •There's Mrs. Dimity, now,* said she, the set# herself up for a young widow, and tfednks'*fce*it'cateh a fortune. Young! ha! hat she is at least forty if she is a day! Talk •trout her rosy cheeks, too! Well, would very much like to know where all them empty paint aat-cers came from that 1 saw lying under her window—that's all.'

And saving this. Mrs. Blabber took her dressing case a black pencil, & applying il to her eyebrows, gave them a •light ebony tinge, that they showed their twin arc* of beauty, spanning two circle* of uncertain Hght* They were a feature!

To cultivate a mustache, sport a "two forty1* trotter, or act as amoral exhibitor of coats lor some tailor, seems to be the conception of a dignified and respectable eareeer, formed by not a few men.

Now being respectable i# either man or woman is to our notion doing what is duty. The poorest person even in what is ennsidelfed popularly the humblest avocation, who pay* hi* debt* obeys the la^rs, and fulfil his other obligations to society, and his fellow creatures is a thousand times more respectable than the wealthy idler, the educated spendthrift, the callous miser, or the fashionable fool. So the modest female, whether seamstress, presstender, storekeeper, or even house servant, is in the true sense of the word, infinitely mare respectable than the extravagant wife who is ruining her husband, than the thoughtless votary of fashion, than the butter fly-flirt. In a word, worth, not wealth, constitutes respectability, 1

Again. Tt is ^rhat really is. not merely seems lo be. respectable, that men ot sense as such* The milli&niiire, who hss obtained wealth by knavish practices, though he may creep through the meshes of the law. cannot escape the indignant verdict of an honest public he may give grand dinners, drive a showy equipage, inhabit a palaoe. and even subscribe ostentatiously to benevolent puposes yet. with all his outside guilding. people recognize the rottenness within, and from the very summit of his splendor, trace hack the silent path by which he rose. Such man let him do what be will can never become respectable. A gulf as wide as thai between Dives and Lazarus, sepaiales him from the esteem of the good/ So also the low minded in ail pursuits thoise cruel and. unfeeling towards their fellow men. charlatans of every hue, hypocrites, demagogues, toadies, sharpers, and all others of 6f similar kind, cannot be respectable.— Pinchback never yet passed lung for gold or, as the old proverb has it, "you canuot make a silk purse out of a sow's aar

As the people are generally what habit renders them, it is lor the young that these remarks are meant The old cannot be cured, if they are shams now. shams they will remain nothing, alas! can ever make them respectable. But the young have yet their habits to form. Let them take a high standard and become truly respectable.— Philadelphia Ledger.

Do Yoa Love Babies

whenever you find a man that hates 'j*-* hies,you will be quite safe in hating him.— No man that does not deserve to be shunned or disliked ever shows sn antipathy to babies. What? hate a little creature, with a cotton ball head that can only manifest its joy by smiles, kicks and inarticulate gurgle that, in anguish, cannot tell the seat of it* pain, but must endure martyrdom while you are guessing the source ot its agonies that has the holiest of all claims on human sym paties—utter helplessness, utter depend ence? What? hate the thing which you yourself were, and from which you would never have grown lo man's estate if your parents had been like you a baby hater? Fie on it! Even dogs love babiaa, and will sulferthem to bestride them, pull their etrs and buffet them by the hour, without responding to their annoyances a ith a growl Mothers, if vou happen to know any male biped that dislikes the specie* in its infancy, don't if you can help it. suffer him to marry one of your female friendsor arquaintanoes. Be sure he will make a sour morose ice hearted husbahd. 'B-Jt vhst shall tic said oTbaWKatihg women? We have known some of thjt sort— married ones, that had babies, and did hate them and we verily believe would have gladly put them to bed fdr the last time, where they would require neither rocking nor par agoric—under the sod. Ves, we have known suoh—the Lord confound them!

If there be any spinsters who harbors in tier virgin heart, a distaste for tlto fruits of matrimony, may «he never have an oppor (unity of raising any, but bo blossomles* bud less and unproductive, beyond the range ol love's sunshine and never have her sensibilities warmed by a kiss, an embrace, or even a chuck under the chin.' A

Jl'he above, which we clip fnun the New York Times and Messenger looks plausible —very plausible, but likt? many other generalities. it is by no means true. Some of ths kindest-hesrted and noblest men thni ever lived do not like babies. Tney can't help it. Nature has (huught fit. in her wisdom. to substitute a perfectly flit and smooth spot, for the protuberance on tin* ocouput where Gall places the organ of philoprogenitivoness. They dislike babies as sundry unfortunate individuals abhor music—because the faculty is not in them Shakspeare was poetioal but unsophistiuul, when he declared that lie who had no music in iiis soul 'is fit for treason, stratagem, and spoils.' OPS Johnson and Sir Waltur Scott lacked (he power of appreciating the concord ol swset sounds, and were nevertheless tolerably honest trad irreproachable members of society.

In like manner, there are thousands of good well meaning, harmless, persons who Nhritsk instinctively from oouiact with those little squalling responsibilities. Nay wj have known fathers of families who rarely took notice ol their own children, until they

What Ihe Times and Messenger says of baby hating woman is uio*t true. God for obvious purposes, has impltuued in the female breast and abiding atiJ imperishable love for helpless rnd tender infancy. The exception to the rule is uncommon, but when it does exist we are bound to regard il as a monstrosity—a lutus nature—a shocking and unnatural privation of an endowment essential to that maternity which is woman's greatest pride and most exquis ite pleasure. No wo nan ou^ht to marry wilp loves not babies—lor assuredly she will lie but a heartless and neglectful mother. The highest sense of moral accountability snd the strongest suggestion* of reason oa» nol supply the absence of thai mighty instinct which renders woman the peculiar gusrdi an of her innocent and feeble nursling.
