a what you theta considlered her superior

ips ihc idol of' a hannp hone; -hi wmi.s
gay and blithe as the lark, and the brothers
andsisters at her father's fireside cherish
ed her as an object of endearment. Yet
sie left all to join her destiny with yours;
to make your home happy, and to do all
that woman's love could lirompt, and wo
man's. ingennity devise, to mieet your wish
es and to lighten the burdens which might
press upon you imt your pilgrimage. She,
ofcourse, had her expectations too. She
could not entertain feelings which pronis
ed so tmucht withotit irrming some idea of
reciprocation on your part, and she did ex
pect yut wotild after marriage perform
those kind olices of whicb yott were so Ia
visit in the davs of betrothnent. She be
came your wilfe! ler her home for yours;
burst asunder, as it were, tire bands of love
which had bound-her ta hs--ir,aer-a fx
side, aind sotght no other buon that your
afTeetions; lefrt, it may lie, the case and
delicacyolf a itme of imdulgence, and now,
what must he her feeling if she gradually
awakes to Ie consciousness thatyoureven
ings are spent abroad that you otliv come
home at till it satisfy the demands siyour
hunger, atid to find n resting place ioryour
head when weary, or a niurse flor your s.(:k
chamber when diseased ?
Why did she leave the bright hearth of
her youthful days? Wihy did you ask her
to give up tie enjoyments of a happy
home? Was it simply to darn your stock
ing,* mend your clothes, take care of your
childrer, and watir over your sick bed !
Was it simply to condttce to your owrr
comfort? Or wan there some tuide-rstntid

Nor is it a sirlicient aniwer that you re

lCed and clothe her,-Yon do this for vor
help; you would do it for atn indilerent
honekeeper.-But forget not tIht a wife
is more titan a housekeeper. She is your
w;fe, and tnless you attend to her w at

expeetations ytu raised bly attemtitions Ile
fore marriage, you need not wtrtmlier if she

EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF BRIDERY.
One menns extensively used for election

contract system by which a certain pric<
was ta he paid for produce if Van Huret

what would ie the effect of sucha a mod1
of electioneering: it was it direct bribe t
vote lr Harribon. For some monlts be
fore the election we had inbrination tia
time pork merchants at Cincinnatti, Ohili
were contraciing with fie farimers on ilti
principle: they cottracted to give otte cetn

they could do % ho control led the lBanks
