PIl? Jntel?gentrr. Husbands at Home. A RACY SKETCH FOR THE LADIES. $fra. Patsey Spangle, a charming cor? respondent of the Louisville Courier, ad? dresses the following to "Tuba Dam," another correspondent of that paper.? There are many ladies, we dare wry, who think with Mrs. Spangle, if they do not speak out. To all such this letter will prove a great treat: I first met Spangle at a country fair. "Wo were introduced to each other about ten, o'clock in the morning, and if you will believe mo, I did not get a chance to , speak to any other gentleman that day. I never saw a fellow so struck at first sight. I don't think, he saw a horse, or in jact anything that was on exhibition that day but mo, although there were present many of the most beautiful and aceorn , plished youug.ladies of that section of the country. As he wasextromely good look? ing, .of good family, and of unexceptiona? ble habits and character, I of course, felt flattered by his marked preference. I had to take him to dinner, and introduce him to pa and ma and the whole family. He made a good impression. In fact Spangle can shine when he tries. I re? member the fact with pride. Well, it is the old story. He became infatuated, and obtained my permission to visit me at my home arid spend a day there in just two weeks from the day we met. During 1 theso two weeks I received daily long let-1 :..tersfrom Simon, closely written and cross written. (I wish I had kept them.) At length the day of his visit arrived, and lo and behold, the servant girlawoke me in the morning with the pleasant infor? mation that Spangle was waiting for me in the parlor. Here was a lover for }-ou. Well, well. As I said before, it was the old 6tory ever recurring, ever sweetly told, and ever listened to by willing ears. ? Suffice it to say that from that da}' I saw aio peace until I became Mrs. Spangle. r Oar honeymoon was, I suppose, like all honeymoons, short and delicious. And then came the realities of life. It . is my belief that this is the most trying period of a woman's life. However kind and attentive her husband may be, a yoang. wifo, when she enters upon the ac? tualities of life, has disclosed to her a State of facts rf which she has little or no conception before marriage. When she leaves an atmosphere of romance and ad? ulation and enters upon the realities of life, it is like stepping out of a garden of summer flowers into the regions of per {)otual winter, and unless she brings all ier good sense and philosophy to her aid. her affections will become chilled, and she will regard herself. a;disappointed. if not a deceived, woman for the balance of her life. It is the. hope that our experience jnay be of benefit to young wives that induces me to reveal some of the domes? tic incidents and infelicities of twelve years of married life. After our brief holiday., Spangle?to use his own expression?took a tilt at the world, determined to wrest from it not only a competence, but a fortune that would place me in the most beatific atti? tude to bo.obtained by opulence. The dear fellow did work hard, and if He. met with obstacles, and difficulties, and trials, the world never knew it. Here served tbem for his fireside, and. although he did not accuse me as the cause, yet ho recounted them in a tone and manner so different from the joyona and buoyant language of courtship, that I could but feel I was in some-way or other account? able for bis-troubles. Although I never seriously doubted his love for me, yet he certainly permitted many excellent op? portunities for manifesting it to puss un? improved. Before wo were married, ho seemed to havo a perfect mania for hold? ing my hand, and I used to wonder if he would ever give me the opportunity to do any needle-work after marriage. But, bless your soul! after marriage, when op? portunities for iudulging in that delicious pastime were abundant, it seemed to have lost its charm. Poor, foolish me! I was often aggrieved at his apparent coolness, and would a.-k him twenty times a day if he did'hot love me. "Why, certainly I do, my dear little puss; I thought you knew it." Yes, he thought I know it! ? Perhaps I did. I also knew that we had plenty of flour and bacon in-the pantry, but that knowledgo did not satisfy my hunger. It is true that this affection manifested itself sporadically with all the warmth and ardor of tho old days; but these ebullitions were the exceptions. The rale was, "I thought you knew it.'' Yes, . girls, when you get husbands they will expect you to know it, and my advice to you is, that you get all the courting yon want before 3*011 are married, for after that event what little courting is done in the family will have to be dono by the wife. We have six chiklrcn, all beautiful and j good. Spangle takes a great pride in them, loves them, and growls at them like a dear old bear. You must not think that | Spangle regards the -mew comers" as bur? dens. Quite the reverse, lie goes into ' ecstacies over each one; dilates upon its beauties and perfections for five minutes, I and then seems to think it ought to be laid away to grow up, and be no further trouble to him until the}* want to many. If one of them has tho colic and cries at night, Spangle thinks that the puiu is a special, hardship to him, because it keeps him awake a few minutes. The fact is undeniable that the best men arc selfish brutes so far as babies are concerned. I will say, though' that of all tho chil? dren I have, Spangle is the biggest baby. 'Tis true he was through most of the a ' ments I havo en' merated before I got him, but in a thousand other respects he is still, and ahvuj-s will remain in that chronic stato of babyhood which ever at? tends over-indulged and spoiled husbands. When wo were first married my old baby would almost break his back to pick up my fan and ho would kill a fly in a min? ute if the fly manifested any disposition to alight on my nose. Now I havo to almost literally dress him in the morning. ? have to get his boots together, one of which he generally fcioks under the bureau, tho other uiuler the bed. I always have to find Iiis cravat. If I go to bed first, iu the moruing I fiud ? h:s" 1 1 111 = oulva'ips Kciiuered over the room as. , never \)U can stutter clothes.

He tears, and groans, af. imints over a slight attack of colic in j manner to keep every one awake in the house. At such times lie always believes he is going to die, and will not suffer me to leave him for a moment. Yet with all his faults I?well, you know the quotation. I believe he is the best man living, and I would not give him for a ten acre lot full of men like the scapegrace of a husband which your fool? ish, credulous correspondent "Dolly Dash" is so silly ab< ut. Another Pious Rascal. A false prophet has lately been unearth? ed in St. Joseph, Mo., with a historj' re? plete in thrilling inteiest. J. N. MeHen ry came to Eidgely, Platte County, about one year ago, from Iowa. It is supposed that he is originally from Ohio, but his early career is unknown. At Ridgcly he started a school, and met with success ; he was at the head of all reforms, and particularly interested in the subject of temperance: he formed a large temper? ance society, and by his own individual efforts had an enactment passed by the authorities of the town, prohibiting the sale of alcoholic drinks within its limits. From the first he was a constant atten? dant on divino service, and in a few months he became a communicant of the Methodist Church; his zeal was unboun? ded, and his advancement was rapid; 60on he was appointed pastor of the flock, and was looked upon by all as the very personification of virtue and.holiness. As a matter of course this pious man was freely admitted into the first eircles of society; in facta friendly rivalry for his favor sprang up in the community. To one house, however, were his visits es? pecially directed, to the residence of a much respected and comfortably provided for widow lady, who lived iu retirement with her only daughter?a young gir! just budding into womanhood. His suit was a warm one, and his attentions were received with satisfaction ; her love was soon gained, and her-mother was but too happy to confide the future welfare of her daughter to the care of her beloved pas? tor; the marriage was forthwith consum? mated, and the newly wedded pair took up their residence with the mother. During the honeymoon, McHenry brought his bride to St. Joseph on a visit to her relatives, where his hypocrisy and wickedness were first manifested. He deserted his wife and sought the society of publicans and sinners; he was found by the police in the company of harlots, and in a stato of extreme intoxication. His wife was mortified and grieved be? yond measure- at this exposition of the true character of her liege lord, and con? templated an immediate separation. The husband, however, professed the most deep repentance, and pleaded that it was his first offence, and was pardoned. ? Satiated with his triumph at Eidgely. he panted for a new field of action. Un? der plea that he, being known as a Union soldier, was obnoxious to the rebels of Platte, he persuaded his wife and mother in-law to go with him to Watbena, Kan sas There he established a flourishing school, and his wife soon regained full confidence in his worth. During the latter part of September last he borrowed all the money in the pos? session of bis wife and her mother, and left home, as he staled, on a business visit to Ridgcly. Since then he has neither been seen nor heard of. From circumstantial evidence, his old associates are convinced that he is a vil? lain of more than ordinary baseness, and are anxious to obtain information of his whereabouts ami former life, in order to bring him to the punishment he deserves. They are confident that he has several wives now living in other places. Horrible Occurrences. Xever in our experience 'as journalists has it been our duty to chronicle an oc? currence more horrid in its details than the one we are about to relate. The sad affair that left a widowed mother childless, and for the time being almost bereit ot reason, happened about the Kith tilt., in the adjoining county of Alton, a short distance from Warren Co. line, and in the vicinity of Anthony's Al ill The heart-rendering details, as related to us by persons ot unquestionable veracity, are about these: Some two months since Mrs. Blankenship, a lady of respectability, iost her husband by disease, and v.as left with three children, two interesting hoys and a little infant girl, just large enough to walk alone and beguile the lonely hours ot the mother with its innocent prattle. On the lGth alt., the mother, -Mrs. Blankenship. lor the purpose of washing clothes, repaired to the spring branch near the house in the localit}- re? ferred to, taking her three children with her, the house dog following behind. She had been engaged in washing but a short time when the dog was heard barking in? cessantly on the hill nenr by Thinking that the dog had possibly treed a rrfecoon or had a rabbit at bay, the two little boys proposed going at once to secure the game With the mother's consent the little fellows started off in high glee.? Alas! better had the}' never been born. On reaching the spot where the dog was barking, they saw it short distance from the dog a large object coiled at the foot, of a stump, in a hostile attitude, keeping the dog at bay. They looked but a mo? ment. Eager only to capture the sup? posed game and not thinking of danger, nor knowing the nature of the prey, they sipproaehed the hideous monster ihat in fatality of attack "outvenoms all the worms of Nile." The oldest of the two boys approached first: with his little hands outs retched and his face aglow at the prospect of his prize, he said, ''I'll get him, brother' One step more and ho rushed to a death more terrible and speedy than were the tortures of fabled Laacoon. With one dart of his forked tongue, with one death-rattle of his tail, the huge rat? tlesnake?for it was nothing less?drew back his scaly folds and with ono dart forward planted his envenomed fangs in the flesh of the boy, and left the deadly poioon coursing hot through his }*oung veins. Again and again was the boy bit? ten by tiie fatal reptile till he fell ex? hausted in the coils of the monster. The other little fellow rushed forward to the relief of his little brother, and he also received the deadly fangs of the ser? pent in several place.*. The screams of I the b(>3*8 alarmed the mother, who was ?still wash in if at the branch, and leaving fr babv girl she ran frantically to the I Piu ' ?Vhat a sight there met her gaze ! i bitLe'.'.wiUi poison, swollen, black, anil! was ulrY/nany plaeos, ono of her boys from thov dead and the other dying crawled avvl-e cause.

Tlu mother's cup of misery was full; not another drop could bo added. Bereft of children, and almost of reason, she sank under the accumulated horrors of the hour. Assistance was procured the heart-crush? ed woman, and the remains of her little nestlings were taken charge of and cared for. A short time after a large rat? tlesnake, with thirteen rattles, was killed near the spot where the boys was bitten. The event created a profound sensation in tho community, and has scarce!}' a parallel even in the exciting annals of our earl}- and hardy pioneers.?Bowling Green (Ky.) Democrat. Outside of the Constitution. If, as Thaddens Stevens, a Jacobin leader, saj*s, and as all Jacobins believe, the Government of the United States is acting outside of the Constitution, what legal obligation'is there upon any one to obey its behests, to sustain it in its usur? pations or to defend it in its acts of des? potism ?' There is not any obligation whatever, wo dare to say, and we dial Ici'e contradiction of the principle that outside of the Constitution there is no le? gitimate Government, nor any other but a de facto Government, which every one is left to Iiis own conscience to obey or sustain, or not, as he prefers. Let us illustrate. A government out? side of the Constitution undertakes to im? pose onerous burdens on the people to enable its supporters to enrich themselves at the expense of their fellow-citizens. Ate these citizens b'.nnd by any obliga? tion of morality or law to pay these bur? dens, to submit to these exactions? We say not. And why? Because taxes, to be a moral obligation on the peivons taxed, must be imposed by competent authority, not merely by despotic power. This despotic power might enforce the collection ot the tax, but this enforcement does not change the obligation of the citi? zen nor make him the more liable, mor? ally or legally, than he was before. What? ever right the Government has morally or legally, and not by virtue of its physi? cal power, is derived from its const itu tional existence and its constitutional in? vestiture. The Federal Government is a constitutional government, or it is noth? ing. As a constitutional government it has constitutional rights anil is subject to constitutional duties, but the moment it says, either by act of Congress or by Ex? ecutive act, that, it will not confine itselt to the exercise of faculties given it by the Constitution, but go outside of it and beyond it to do its own will, it becomes both a usurper of unauthorized power and a despot in the exercise of such pow .er, and cannot lay moral or legal claim to obedience, submission, support or subjec? tion. If we are living as a people, in our re? lations to Government, outside of the Con? stitution, and in making returns of in? come or busides, we answer to these re turns, are we obliged to swear truly to a Government which exists outside of the Constitution ? Or, rather, what right has such a government to impose on us the obligation of taking an oath under any circumstances; and if it does so im? pose upon us, against our will, and with? out being vested with the right by us to do it, are we obliged in conscience to com? ply with its exactions? We wry not. Hence it is no crime to deceive the Gov? ernment, if. as it assumes by the mouth ot its administrators and legislators, it acts outside ol the Constitution. To put it plainly?it the Government becomes a usurper, despot and tyrant, it is no crime to disobey and deceive it; but, on the contrary it might he a meritorious duty in the citizen to weaken it even by decep? tion. We have not examined the public lists for these doctrines, nor do we need to do so. There is no necessity of referring to hooks of authority for what it is the right of man to do who is way hi id by robbers. Now, if the Government becomes a rob? ber, cither of one's property or of his rights, the relation of the citizen towards it under theso circuinstances is analagous to that of the individual to the highway? man. JPreciKery so; Governments, no more than highwaymen, have the right to be unjust, the right to go beyond the restraints of law with impunity, the right to do that which it is forbidden to do by its creators. Outside of the Constitution of the Uni? ted States there is no government except of the individual Slates to which the peo? ple owe allegiance or fealty. Partisans may, if they will acknowledge, try and sustain a Government instead of the Con? stitution, but this docs not bind others to follow their example, nor impost) upon others the performance of duties to this Government. On the contrary, those whii do not favor the usurpation have the better right to withhold their allegiance, and, if they can, to restore the deposed i Government, ami subject to its lestraints ' all those who would traitorously over? throw and supersede it by usurpation. -?? ? Pride cannot bear reproof, but lui ' ruility bows before it. J NEW DRUG STORE. THE UNDERSIGNED OFFER A LAEGE AND C?3IPLETE STOCK OF Pure Drugs and Medicines, AT THE LOWEST CASH PRICES.
