THE WIFE.-It needs no guilt to break a husband's heart; the absence of content, the mutterings of spleen; the the untidy dress, and cheerless home; -the forbidding scowl, and deserted hearth; these and other nameless neg lects, without a crime among them, have harrowed to the quick the core of ma - ng a nyan, the germ of dark despair. Oh! may woman, before that tong, sad sight'arrives, dwell on the recollections of her youth, and cherishing the idea of - that tuneful time, awake and keep alive the promises she then so kindly gave; and though she may be the injured one -the forgotten, not the forgetful wife -a happy allusion to that hour of peace and love-a kindly welcome to a com fortable liome-snile of love to banish hostile words-a kiss of peocO to par don all.the past, and the hardest heart that ever locked itself within the breast of selfish man will soften to her charms, and hid her live as she had hoped, for years in iatchless bliss-loved, loving and content-the soother of the sorrow ing hour-the source of comfort and the spring of joy. PATENT INDIA RUnBER OIL.--Of all the substances of modern applica tifo, that of India rubber seems to be one of the m6st useful. One of its mIost recent, and probably one of its most useful applications has recently been made in using it as an oil, or rath er in so combining it with oil, that it -O4olds it in such a condition as to ren der it capable of increased fluidity, at the same time that it has a sort of toughness, or a fibrous .quality like -glie. This composition is called "Del phan'8 Patent Oil.' We have seen it tested, and have been shown several certificates from responsible parties, tending to prove that besides having all the useful qualities of the best of sperm oil for bearings of machinery, it has still greater- lubricating qualities, and not so subject to evaporation or waste. If so, it will introduce an important saving in the expense of working machinery. To railroad companies and machine shop~s, it is a niatter of great importance. .Railroad Journal. SAGACITY OF A MONKEY.-The ser vant of a medlical gentleman, wvho was sometime in India, caught a young mon key, and brougnt it to his tent, where every care was taken of it; but the moth e r wvas so greatly distressed with the loss of her pr-ogeny, that she never cea sed uttering the most piteous tones, night or day, in the immediate vicinity of the tent. T1hre doctor at length tir-ed otit with the incessant howling, desired the servant to restore the young onle *back to its mother, which he did, when it yery chee fully retired, and sped its ray to the community to which it had belonged .-Here, however, she found she could not be received. She and her progeny had lost caste, and, like ftbe hunted deer-, were beaten and. re jected by-thp flockc. A few days after, our mnedical friend was greatly surpris ed to see the monkey return to his tent of its own accord, apparently very mug.h exhausted; and having deposited its young one, it then retired a few yards from the tent, and there laid itself down and died. On examining the -carcase'of the poor animal, it was found in a tnost emaciated state, starved, wounded, and scratched all over, so that there can be no doubt that it had bcen'drea4 fully maltreated by its comn rade and, finding no safety for itself or its ' fpujng, returned the little one into the ban4 coftho-whro wero the cause of itsiisifortanes. VYnO WAs1TonSAITHPOL.!0 '-1' MBASTEtI. DY- WM. WIfIT0R). In the bleakest: and mosti bairen por tion of the County of Derbyshire, Eng land, there'lived a lanj timd'ago, a man and his wife of theriame of Pollard. The former was a.keeplr of the Turri pike-gate, and lie had only been. mar ried some two or three months, whoji the circumstances occurod of which we are about to write. , The small Toll. House in which lie lived, was situated at a point, where the roads ieet, and in a place where the, seenery was'singn larly wild and dreary. It stood in a deep hollow formed by two chains of high hills, whose sides were covered with naught but a continuous surface of dark brown heath, or occasional bushes of prickly gorse. Not another hoise was to be seen for miles, and the only evi dence of life were in the few filocks of sheep, which were here and there brow sing along the mountain's sides; or the mail coach, and a few carrier's wagons which at wide intervals passed aloig the road. The only person who ever paid a visit to the Toll-House was a butcher named Gonfrey, who called on each Saturday for the purpose of sup plying the Pollards wvith fresh meats. Mr. Pollard had lived in his i-resent abode during several years previous to his marliage; and being of a very cour ageous disposition, and having become accustomed to the lonelinems of his place of residence,. he was not much af fected thereby; but his wife, who had ever been accustomed to living in a populous town, and being withal of a very timid nature, and now lived in a constant state of alarm and dread; more particularly whenever her husband paid a visit to the neighboring town for such necessaries as they required. And what tended to increase this feeling of alarm to a still greater extent that part of the country was at that time infested by a band of lawless men, who almost nightly robbed and murdered some un fq9tunate traveller, or broke into and plundered some lone farmhouse, n~r could the utmost vigilance of the author ities succeed in detecting them. Of these men she lived in daily dread, lest they discovering that her husband was possesed of a large sum of money-the saving of former years-should seize an opportunity when lie was from home, and murder her to obtain it. She frequently prssed her husband to give up his situation, and remove to some other place of abode, but lie in variably laughed at her fears! assuring her that there was not the least danger, as none but themselves were aware of the fact of his possessing the money in question. One day in December, lie received a letter informing him that his father was lying at the point of death, and who earnestly wished to seehin be fore that event took ice. This let er gave him great uneasinesi; fur, apart from the grief it occasioned at his fa ther's situation, if he went lie could not -possily return before the foll wing'day, as his parent's residence was more than thirty miles distant, and his wifle would be obliged to stay aiid take cam-e of thne "gate." lie must go however-he~ could not refuse his father's d3 ig re t ion to his wife, she was seized with the utmiost ter-ror, earnestly entreated him to forego his -eslution; inor was it un til after a long time, during which he had used the most strenunous endeav ors to sooth her and to calm her- fears, that lie could venture to pr-oceed on hois jonurney. It was Sat'urda;, . sorning when lie star-ted, and one of. the drear-iest days of the season. Tihme snow lay thick on the ground, and still conitinnued to fanll heavily, causing the face of the sur rounding scene to look morec wil and lonely than ever. As Mr-s. Pollar-d at in the small front ni artmnent of the house, her- fears gradually increas~ed more and morec, as her imagination con juredl up a thousand dre-ad ibrebodings and almost fancied that each sound of the wind whistling through the valley, was some one even now about to break into the place. Time sped, w'heni at length, as Gonfrey the butcher ap proached, her terror had attainied to such a height that sho determined to ask him to stay in the house with her, until her husbatid's return. This Gonfroy was a tall, powerfully built man, about forty five or fifty years of age, and wi4th a rough countenace by no means pre-possesing. iei resided in a house some five or six miles distant, and which was at least that distance from any other. Hto had occupied it for varn- foalawls . as lx...n.. Athj evicinjy; ' Irs.-Pollard had been acquaintA.d vith lWin. until the time o1 her marriqg; butthe failiai:ity arising gomii1is weekly visit to lier house,:alit . the ,cordriality, witllp 10ich her husibanld invaribly received him,. now inspired* her vith more confidence towards him, than fromhis looks.sho would have otli erwiseliave donte "I am so glad you are coe!" said Mrs.. Pollari :as. tho, butcher .entered her dwellilig. :lJhn has gone to se& his f'athien- who issnot expee'l to ,hivv' and ivid not return until to .Uorro;i and 1-am nearly frightened to death;.: for we have got more than a hundred(. sivereigns in the house, and if at. or them robbers w ere to comie the; would imur.cr.mo. Won't vou stay and kelt, Ile -comiany uttiil John coines nt.]e" During the first p:art of this addre4. G..enfrey did not appear to lis!en % th Much allarent interest; 11nt tie m. ment Mrs. PoIllard iiertioiiicd the mP noy, hn face assuued an expresti f singular imapors , and his gen yesj.sh .d quick glances frum ben-ath hjit pent aud s'mggy brows as though soeitu, had suddenlv moved him. "I'm very s irry," ho replied, and s; caking. in slow, deliticrative tone- -"but I cannot pussibly stay-I've got to call at two or three more phaces with meat, - yet, and be 'ore I could return it would 10 e.ast midnight. But I tell you what I will d .-ther's Dash-a better dog IIeVCI lived-I'll lave him with vou: an I'll agree to forfeit my head if he lets any one enter the house while he's here. With many thanks Mrs. Pollard ac cepted his offer; for she had often heard her husband speak of the courage and sagacity of the animal in question. "Stay here," said Gonfrey, now, as he looked at his dog, anQ pointed with in the room with his fingers, "and see that you don't let any one cone near." The dog, which was a very large one, and of the breed called "MastiIT," an swered this command of his master by wagging his tail two or three times, and looking up into his face with an in telligent expression; and the next mo ment crouching down by the side of Mrs. Pollard, stretched himself at full length on the hearth, as though at home. When the butcher had departed, Mrs. Pollard began to caress the dog, and for a long time endeavored to at tract his notice; but in vain, he contin tied to lie mute and motionless, as though devoid of life. This circumstance ruis el her fears anew; for she began to think that if the dog lay thus passive now, he ,vould (o so if any one chanced to comie to the place. Again she renewed her caresses, and finally offered him a p.iece Of' meat; but still with tl.e same success; the dog would neither appear to recog nize her presence, nor would ho touch the menat. The Toll-House consisted of two roonis, with only one door of entrance, and which was at the frcvnt. The back apartment was used as a bed-room, and was lighted by a snall window at dhe iot of the bed. The front one had two windows; a toler-ably large, one nmear the door, and a small lattice w~hose dhiamond~i~ shaped squarts ofu ghuas were eneased withiu thin plates of le::d. To non~e of the windows were there any shutters, ni ith the exceptLion el the one in the bed room. A t the usual time. Mrs. Pollard re tired to rest, hut in vain endeavolred tn sleep.; the dog still remainng in the same~ imumovale poisition .ias whecn his master left him.
