A venerable looking old man, who had not seemed to notice the entrance of Mr. D., sat 1 leaning on his staff, his clothes were clean I and whole, but so patched that you could scarcely have told which had been the orig- 1 inal piece. "This is your father I presume," said Mr. A D. addressing the mistress of the house. f "It is, sir." -. "'He seems to be quite aged.". "He is in his eighty-third year; he'has I survived all his children except myself." "You have once seen better days." "I have- my. husband was wealthy; but I false friends ruined me-he endorsed notes -to a large amount which stripped us of nearly all our property, and one misfortune I followed another until we were reduced to a complete poverty. M . husband did not b long survive his losses, and two of my chil- L dren soon followed him." n "lave you any remaining children I" t "I have one, and he is my only support. fl My health is so feeble that I cannot do much, " and my father being blind, needs great ht- 14 tention.

"Ilenry IV-!" reiterated Mr. D., "why b he is my clerk!- I left him at my house not a fortnight since." EI Here followed a series of inquiries, which evinced an anxiety and'solicitude that a mo- ir ther alone could feel-to all of which Mr. o D. replied to her perfect satisfaction. c "You know our Henry," said the old man, a raising his head from his staff. " Well, sir, then you know as worthy a lad as ever lived. 1 God will bless him for his goodness to his at old grandfather," he added in a tremulous voice, while the tears ran down his cheeks. ."He is a worthy fellow, to be sure," said Mr. D. rising and placing a well filled purse n into the hands of the old man.

"I know .the rea ;.n of your parsimony, as'! called it, and I i nor you for it-it is that which first put it nto my head'to give'you Caroline--she will oe yours, and may God -bless you both.". Shortly after this -conversation, Henry avowed his love to. Caroline, and solicited i r iand, an-i it is needless to say- bedid not olicit in vain. Caroline wvoild have defer. ed their union until the ensuing spring, but, er father was indxorable. He supposed lie hould have to own -to one little deception, ie said, and they would have him shoulder wo; but that was too much, entirely too. iuch, and he would not endure it; he had' aId Henry that she was going to marry in 'e weeks, and should not forfeit his word. But perhaps,"' added lie, apparently recol 1ting himself, and turning to Henry, ",per. aps we shall have to defer it after all, for ou have important business in the coutitry bout that time." "Be merciful, sir," said Henry, smiling, I did not wish to witness the sacrifice of y own happiness."

We have'only--to add,-that the -frinds of enry were sent for, and the. nuptials dIennized at the appointed time. HOW TO 1&AZ A WIG. The most bigoted and' unreasonable party an I ever met with was Jack D., now a -osperous and infidential attorney in S. mity, in this State. At the hour of which I -am w'riting, he as a red hot democrat, and his chief Den ire seemed to n -,t it, i ,. . d. - - ts 1araefe y I i loveiiness; and captivated-by her intelli'. 'nee, lie became assiduous in Attention, rgot his " principles," and without in. iring what night be the political profes. on of his " lady love," .imprudently - pro. )sed, was accepted, and they were imar. ed. The vedding was over, the guests had .parted. and they had retired to their iainber, and were snugly ensconced in bed, hen Jack, in the course of a quiet :eon rsation with his wife, unwittingly alluded his favorite subject, by casually speaking r himself being a democrat.. " What!" exclaimed she, turning sudden' ,towards him, "are you a democrat V" "Yes, madam," replied Jack, delighted ithi the idea of having a patient listener to is long restrained oratory. " Yes, madan, am a democrat, attached to the principles f the great progressive party ; a regulair out rd outer, " double dyed aiid twisted in the 'ool." "Just double and twist yourself out of is bed then," interrupted his wife. "I am whiig, I am and I wvill never sleep with ny man . professing the abominable doe. rines you do." Jack was speechless from absolute mazement. That the very -wife of his osom should prove a traitor was horrible ; he must be jesting. He remonstrated in an; tried persuasion, 'twas useless en reaty, 'twas no go. She was in - sober arnest, and the only alternative left him ras a prompt renunciation of his heresy, or separate bed in another room. Jack did t hesitate. To abjure the great and es abished doctrines of his .party, to re ounce his alleginneto that faith that had ecome identified with his very being, to the ere wvhim and caprice of a woman, was terly ridiculous and absurd ; and he threwv imself from the bed prepared to quit the As he wvas leaving the door, his- wife creamed out at him, ." [ say, my dear, ihen you recant your heresy and repent rour past ertors, just knock at my door, and erhaps I will let you in." - The door was violently slammed, and rack proceeded wrathfully in quest -of an >ther department. A scene of insulted dignity, and a firm ronviction that he was a martyr in the ' right cause," strengthened .his 'pride, and ae resolved to hold out until he forced his ,ife to capitulate.- - In the morning she met him as if nothing ad happened ; but when Jack ventured to ilude to. the rupture of -the - night '-previous,' here was a "laughing devil"~ in~ her ~ eye rhich bespoke her power, and extinguished' uope. A second time he called.up his pride -support him in. the struggle which- he uow found. wvas getting desperate. ' The second day 'was a repetition of the irst.; no allusion was made tte fdrbidddn ibject, on either- side. There s a look af quiet happiness and- cheerfulness abost iis wife, that purzled 'Jack sorely, and be elt that all idea~ of forcing -her into a' 'sur ender must be abandoned.

GEMERAL SCTT AND EIO PROSPECS.' The following telegraphic despatches ex hibit.the sort of machinery set in. motion to give aid and comfort to the Whigs: - CInKA ro3TON, (S. C) June 23.-The Whig nomination& have been received. The assu. rance of Gen. Scott that he accepts the platform, and the fact of his association with William A. Graham, of North Carolina, is enough for us. Our friends are 'for the nomination. k Mcor, (Geo.) June 23.-The nomina tions of the Whig Convention have come to hand. Georgia has been disappointed in not getting Mr Fillmore, but she will stand by the nominees, especially so since Gen. Scott accepts the platform. The nomina tion of Mr.. Graham aE Vice President meets with our cordial approbation. We have heretofore furnished abundant evidence that Ae nomination of Gen. Scott has been extensively, if not generally, repu diated in Georgia. The thiee most influen tial presses in the State have denounced it as unworthy of the support of, the people, and the. two most powerful leaders of the Geor gia Whigs- have declared they will not' sup port it unless a Convention of the Constitu: tional Union party :shall endorse it. Mr. Daws is the only strong man in-the State who has yielded. As to South Carolina,- the idea of any' support to Gen. Scott here, beyond that of I a little clique in Charleston, scarcely nume- I rous enough to be counted as an element-in 1 a scrub race- for Mayor,-it is simply pre posterous. There are a' few Whigs here, who, we suppose, would go for any sort of a. -Whig Candidate-Seward, or anybody.- I Of course Scott will get these, and, being a- I respectable man, will get sonmewhat more I than these. But not one half of tho.' who t adhered to Clay in '44, will support Scott in '50. And if the whole, 'of themi went for himi of what conceivable value would it e I' There is not one in twenty of the .voters-of the State that does not prefer the election of the Democratic candidates to- the Whig. 'There is no,division on that point, and there will he no contest. As to those Southern States where a con-. test mighi.be1loed'6 t y p esent much, inoic"decided indic ons of opposition to G(o. S-t !.n had anticipated., We -I. would grumble-and' subnitit, as- ' -'*' -C4i did-inthe caseofieating the .~"ad of cursing'and saalow-0 see in m mofre diesposed 16 curset ri..Qeutry of $ennessee for e nouncing it before hand, weclose thistotRee by giving an extract from the powerfdl* speech of that gentleman in the House,' two 1 days before the Whig Convention assem-' bled. It covers the whole ground. I "I believe that the nomination of Gen. I Scott cannot now nationalize the -Wlig party, even if you pass such a resolution as I -have indicated, and he shall write a letter . putting: himself, -now distinctly upon that platform. Events have already transpired connected with his-aspirations for the Presi-: dency, which have infused. into the Southern' mnin everywhere a distrust, which cannot be eradicated and though he might be placed 1 in such a position that the Whigs might feel bound, perhaps through all the States of the I South, to make a struggle for him I believe that it would not be six weeks after lie was nominated before it would be a manifest fact to the eyes of every man that lie could not receive the rote of a single Southern State not one. . That is my opinion. You may talk about Bridgewater, and Lundy's Line, and Vera Cruz, and Cerro Gordo and Che pultepec, and Molino del Rey but it is a very unphilosophic mistake to suppose that the glories, of those fiels alone can satisfy the people of. the South upon the. questions to which I refer. 0 a . 0 e- .0 0 " Under Sewvard's auspices Gen. Scott became a candidate for the Presidency; and if Gen. Scott is nominated at Baltimore, he will ou-e his nomination to W illiam H . Se war-d; and therefore, Gen. .Scott's nomina tion, cannot, under any circumstances, na tionalize the Whbig .party. As soon as the compromise. measures passed, all the papers wnder Mr. Seward's control rhiised up the name of Gen. Scott at the mast head as their candidate for the -Presidency. Con ventions were called at the earliest possible time in Newv York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, which formally nominated him for the Presi dency.. But no resolutions passed those conventions, recognizing the series of mea sures to which I have referred as'-a compro mise, to he adhered to and executed by the North and the South. "-But General Scott is said to be really in favoi- of these measures. All the worse for him if that be true. " If he was in favor of these measures when this mighty struggle wans being made before,. the tribunal of public opinion, the result of which involved the best interests of the Republic, present and prospective, why did he not come up and give to Webster and Fillmore the influence of his mighty name, and aid .them in harmonizing the, country, and brin'ging Northern men to' a sound po sition upon this question?' Why 'did he not do. it i It canronly' be accountedfor by as" cribing. to-him that sort' of ambition' which made the angels fall fromn heaven. He want ed the Presidency; 'and in his extreme de sire to be President,~ he. forgot thelhighor and'noblcr duty wyhich ho owved.'to his conn try.. This js. the whole of it. 'Nonman is 'so glorious in this country,- when he aspires to te'frst'lance in.the Republic; as to make it sacrilege to speak freely- of his position and of the'- tendencies-political tendences likely to result from his success.. We have a right to speak fre.ely. I elaim that.uightr andsna man shall make me. afraid. 'Now, sir, I1 have read in some old books' whiclt described the usages. and custonis in the4 barbarous ages of- the, world, that~ when sokenfrtnaeubject .ineurred -the dis lpi'asured .ofhiKing,the order, was prompt .gjen to behead him, aid to. stick his 1iii upon i pipnestaf, and c-arry it through the ,streets. On such. occasions all lol. subjects were required to fall into the train to testify to the justice and power of their Sovereign, who had exterminated his eniiemy by shouts and hussas. Now, if Gin. Scott,, is nominated at Baltimore; what a triumph for Seward! ' What a 6liut of exultAtion Hill burst from 'liis lips, and from the lips of all his faithful and hopeful followersl Some willing mercenaries will be ready, Agurative. ly speaking, to raise aloft upon their pipe staffs the: heads of Webster and Fillmore, and all Northern Union-loving Whig'who Lave stood by them, and bear them in tri umph through the streets armid the shouts and huzzas of their victorous enemies, and ive shall have a grand jubilant, exulting glo rification, to celebrate the occasion. As a nyal Whig pafty, myself and my Southerro Whig friends will be required to fall amica b~ly into line, and constitute the rear guard )f Mr. Seward's 'colunin, and g1'ehiv .our oice to swell the jubilant exultation. Well, perhaps IUmay try. [Laughter.J- But -my )pinion is, that my utmost effort to shout, will resolve itself into a grban of despair. I cannot do it. I will not. Put that down in your note book. " Well, what willyou io ?" "Join the Deniocritic party I" [Laughter.] ' I do nof think I shalL. I do iot knoW what I shall do. But I know I Aill do what I believe- to be my duty..
