rome soon and would repay herfor all her anxiety
by extraordinary evidences of affection.
She summoned bp for her consolation the thousand
kindnesses of her husband, his constant,
changeless love, his resistance of those errors
that marred the domestic, hanpiness of many
families; and like a true wife she suffered the
v lustre of her own purity, excellence and afl'ec
f tion, tq gild the character and conduct of her
husband.
" v ' She was startled from her reiiry of delight
and charity, l>y an unusual outbreak of noisy
* debauchery from the wretched drinking house
* below. She leaned forward and stood fixed in
horror at the sight.
Her husband was in the midst of the riotous
* host, in sickening, disgusting familiarity with
an abandoned one of her own sex.
She stepped back until an angle of her own
house concealed her from the painful scene.
A thousand previous matters that had scarcelj'
excited a thought became then of importance
in what she had seen. She raised her apron to
her eyes, but there were no tears, her hand
dropped on the fence above her, a feeling came
over her hcartj such as she had not before ex
perienced.
She bad felt as a woman regret for the loss
of property?the mother hadmourned the death
of her child?and anxiety had been felt for
some slight errors in her husband; but property
could-be regained by labor, or relinquished j
without effort?every dream of the mother gave
hack to her heart her beloved child, and refresh
ed with a spiritual intercourse; and every waking
thought that turned toward the dead one
was lustrous with the sense of heavenly intercourse
and consoling in the promise of a future
union-the errors of a husband, that do
not imply dishonour, not exhibit themselves as
evidences of waning affection, may he mended
or endured; but when the heart is suddenly
* overwhelmed with the evidence of shame, insult
dishonour; when all the purity of woman's
thoughts-is outraged with the proofs of guilt,
and all the years of her charity and enduring
Igve are dishonored by the unerring tokens of
ingratitude and infamy, and the confiding, the
consoling, the truthful wife, becomes the witness
of the destruction of her domestic peace,
despair sweeps over the heart, like the blastings
of the simoon; and then, all the unmentioiw
ed sufferings of the woman, all the cherished
sorrows o.f the daughter, all the poignant anguish
of a mother are lost, in the overwhelming
torrent of?"The Wife's Frst Grief."
The Enery-day M-irried Lady.?The every
day Married Lady is the inventor of a thing
which few foreign nations have as yet adopted
either in their houses or in langnager. This
thing is "comfort." The word cannot well be
defined; the items that enter into its composition
beingso numerous that a description would
read like a catalogue. We all understand,
however, what it means, although few of us are
sensible of the source of the enjoyment A 1
w idower has very little comfort, and a bachelor
none at all; whilst a married man?provided bis 1
wife be an every-day married lady?enjoys it
in perfection - But he enjoys it unconsciously, 1
and therefore ungratefully; it is a thing of course
?a necessary, a right of the want of which he :
complains without boingdistinctlysensible ofbs
presence. Even when it acquires sufficient
intensity to arrest his attention?when his fea- 1
tares and heart soften, and he looks round with
a half smile on his face and says: "This is comfort'"
it never occurs to him to inquire where it
all conies from. His every-day wife is sitting
!t ekn lwlif.wt I
quiewj iu iiiecuriiri, w.ib nut sue ??u
the fire, or dressed the dinner, or drew the curtainsjand
it never occurs to him to think that all
these, and a hundred other circumstances of the
moment, owe their virtue to her enspiriting; and .
that the comfort which enriches the atmosphere,
which sparkles in the embers, which brood in
shadowy parts of the room, which glows in his
own full heart, eminatcs from her and encircles
her like an aureola.
V _ I
Propamtt.?Once when I was returning
from Ireland (says Rowland Hill) 1 found myself
much annoyed bv the reprobate conduct of
the captain and mate, who were both sadly
given to the scandalous habit of swearing. First
the captain swore at the mate, then the mate
swore at the captain,then they sworeat the wind
?when I called to them with a strong voice
for f'lir play.
"Stop! stop!"said I, '*if you please, gentlemen,
let us have fair play; it's my turn now." At
what is it your turn, pray?" said the captain.?
At swearing," I replied. Well, they waited and
waited, until their patience was exhausted, and
wanted me to make haste and take my turn. I
told them however, that I had a right to take
my timo, and swear at my own convenience
To this the Captain replied, with a laugh,
"Perhaps you don't mean to take your turn?"
"Pardon mo, captain," I answered, "hut I do,
as soon as I find the good of doing so." My
friends, I did not hear another oath ou the voynS?

Dying Dkclakations,?Curiam Decission
of a Judge..? From an article in the Washington
(Wilkes comity) Gazette, we learn that
Judge Baxter, of the Northern Circuit ol'Geor
gia, has recently decided that the dying deela- |
rations of a man cannot he given in evidence ;
on a tiial for murder. This is an important de- ,
eision, and overturn* the conunoii law as tin- j
derstood and heretofore administered. The
point was presented on the trial of Lnvet for
the murder of Bell, in the county ol Warren,
- and was argued by Messrs. Toombs, Cone and
Pottle, for the prisoner, and .Solicitor Weems,
Gartrell and Dawson, for the State. It was
contended by the prisoner's counsel that the
sixtii article of amendments to the Constitution
of .the l'iiitcd States guaranteed to every

right to coerce a State, acting in Iter sovereij

In order, therefore, to a dear understandi
of the Constitution, which hinds us together

which framed it. For the Archite&vpuist c<

purpose, because he was one of the aldest la

ra, Separate State Action.
In another column, may be found an article
ij. which is copied from the Charleston Mercury, and
ue '> connexion with other ma'ters, satisfactorily inns
duces us to believe, that there is no question, as
U<J to the right of a State to secede, if so disposed,
vd alone from the Union. We believe with " Pal',L*
mellu," that the General Government does not and
4 I '
e never did, possess the right to coerce a State, actI
ing in her sovereignty ; and f. at each State, acting
on through a convention of her people, posses-ea the
right ot secession. As the delegates of the several
0? Southern Rights Associations throughout the
?(| State, are at present assembled in Charleston, in
a Convention of the same, and have met, and are
>e- engaged no doubt in the discussion of separate
ol State Action, and kindred questions, in a sort ot
preparatory Convention to that which will assemve
ble in a few months under the authority of the
State, it is well that we should revolve these
*Ui matters in our mind, and each one think, that he
\VI
may be prepared to act for himself, when that isj10
sue comes which will try mens souls. That the
tj issue will come sooner or later, we think there
iVe can be but little doubt; and that we must meet is
ill- not a matter for idle speculation,
he We do not propose at this time to enter into
>is, detail on tho discussion of the important topics,
,v* which vitally affect the interests of our people.
The subject is one of too great moment to be apn<^
proached, other than with the greatest caution.
111' Our cause is a sacred one, and we cannot too
dearlv regard, the lives, fortunes, and honor of
it a 3
to_ our people, which are inseparably connected with
cf the weal of our beloved State. To approach the
?\j- matter of separate State Action, one of grave import
and of the utmost consequence to every
a South Carolinian be l.e who he may. When this
hie question is to be discussed and decided, requires
: qualifications of an extraordinary character, comlW"
hieing wisdom with prudence, inflexible courage
Jn" ! and determination. These we believe are pos|'ul
j sessed generally by those who are to serve on that
^ ! grand inquest which must render a verdict for or
li(l : against separate State action.
