'Thank you !' Wl.at a musical ring was in the voice of Mrs. Archer; what a pleasant li{iht shone in Iter eyes. She hail dropped a glove which a gentleman had lifted from the floor and placed in her hand. Mr. Archer the ladvV husband, saw tlie iillle act of courtesy and notiecd its i-v | reward, lie woulil have given almost any- J ill ng for just su< h a musical "Thank j ? on !*?fur as bright a glance as she had thrown upon a stranger. Onee, tones and ; glances like those had been his reward for j nny little attentions lie might happen t<? nfl^r; now, ail the small courtesies of life were withdrawn, and no matter what the net or its quality, his wife received it with i 11 cold itidifFcictice, singularly in contrast ! ivith her manner toward other ini-ri. \Ya* it a delect of love? Did Mrs. | Archer really think more highly of other ; men, who showed her polite attention.*. I ban ?li<* did (if b*>r huslnrid ? Sometimes it chafed fci'linir of impatience?sometimes jf jealousy?and sometimes of mournful egret for sunnier days it) tbe far away >ast. would trouble tbe bnsband sorely.? i^ut these were pushed aside, or suffered to lie for lark of aliment, and the dull, cold outine of every day life permitted to Lave I is usual course. On the occasion referred (o above, Mr. \rcher and his wife were spending an ivening at the house of a friend, where ompa'ty had boon invited. For days preriously tlio countenance of Mrs. Archer lad worn its usual dead calm, its imperturnd placidity?its matter-of-course aspect. >he had talked with her husband in a kind >1 dv'a'd Icvi 1 tone and manner on nil subeets that happened to come up. whether of iist or third importance. Or, if interest lappened to risii into anything approaching tmiiusiasm, it was accompanied by some lung ot sharpness, t !:at left on trio initio of Mr. Archer an tincoinfoi tabic feeling, as if' 10 were hlami'd for fohVytlnng. And this iad been tlie wife's aspect even after she (lad donned her company attire, and up to he moment when she made her appear nice among the guests of '.he fiiond to tthcse house i-lie brought, tied tip, ns it wore, in a closely compacted bundle, her smiles and courtesies fur public dispensa ion. 'As be bad noticed on many previous occasions, so did Mr. Archer notice on thi??, ho iemarkable difference between his wif<jV lomewuid company mannofn^-between her reatment of her husband nn>1 hor treatment of other getitlmn<?fi who happenedito, ?Qter into conversation with her, or<?off?rc ?Yiy polite attention. The answer toHhelr words clways went forth from lips wreathed with smiles and eyes sparkling with pleasure; to his words, from a cold, placid mouth, imd with half indifferent, or nveited glances. And yet, Mrs. Archer was a faithful wife in id I ber dutiful relations, and in heart a lov? injj wife to her liii<l?ind. If smiles did not |>lay in sunny circles over her countenance, us in former times, she made the '? .dio'd *mil? with order and comfort, n- < (1 and secured liy her ever busy hnds. Iler tlmn^hts wuro no wandering truants to other and forbiddc n fields, hut home-guestsj; nor were they busy for hers-elf, but for the bus Leiiii] mid children, in whom her own lift* hgund up. It was not that love for her i hu-band had grown dull ? angering not as mirror answereth lo face?that her courtA . tenance did not light up at his coming? that she did not meet his word and atten- | lions with smiling glances. Had-,she not | given him her hand?had she not promised j to be a faithful wife? Was she not true in j all her relations? What more wis requir- | ed of lier ? It never entered into her! thoughts that her hu*bawl wns weak I enough to detiro a daily repetition of the I love glances with which in the season of young love's ardor, liel- eyes were ever beaming wiieh ih^y turued upon bis countcnaitco. And vol it was even up. Tt:?as be'cattna be bad hoped to live all bis after life in ibe warmth of those glance*, that he bad wooed and won her in the bright days of- her womanhood?"

Not long after this Mr.' ArPJier paw his wife drop her handkerchief. Stopping forward, from where ho stood talking with a lady, lie lifted it from the floor nnd placed it in her hand.

Mr. Archer was disappointed. The. drooping flowers in liis heart were pining j for sunbeams, ;ni(] lie liad hoped for a few bright rays. 15tit tin*}' were not given. A lady lo whom Mrs. Archer had been introduce d that evening, and who was a stranger to both herself and husband, sat j by her shIc. They bad been conversing willt some animation, and were interested in each utlior. This lady was struclf by ilie utatked difference with which Mrs. Archer received these two slight attentions ft fin different gentlemen. She had observed the pohte response made when tin- glove was handed tb^fts owner, and was pleased tviili the graceful manner of her new acquaintance. The col?l, almost repulsive way in which she accepted the handkerchief was, therefore, noticed the more distinctly. Slie saw that the individual who presented it was disappointed if not hurt. Her inference was natural. 'That gentleman is no favorite of yours,' she remarked. 'What gentlemen ?' Mrs. Archer looked | furious. 'He w ho lifted j our handkerchief just I now.' 'Why do you think so?' There was a slightly amused expression in the corners of Mi*. Arili.il* mouth. 'Yuu '.rented him very coldly?almost rudely, I thought ?pardon mo for saying so?quite differently from the way in which you treated the gentleman who picked up your glove a few minutes ago.' A smile spread over the countenance of Mrs. Aiclier. 'OIi, lie's only my husband !' she ruade , answer. 'The one who lifted tlis glove V 'No? the one who favu ine mv ImnilL-pr- ! chief.' 'Only your hu>band !' The lad}* sp"kein a tone that Mrs. Archer con!d not hfcln feeling ns a rebuke. 'il^'srfny ^iyj^antl,' she saiJ, 'anil doesn't j gxpcct inc io*be particularly ceremonious. I ?Iib picked up my handkerchief as a thing j jpf course. The other was a mere ncquain- j fSnce?half a stranger in .fact?and a moral acknowledgment at hi* polite attention could not have been omitted without rudeness." I'm afraid,' remaiked the lady guarded- I ly, so as not to give offence, 'that some of, us are scarcely jnst to our husband* 'n this.* matter of exterior courtesy. I know that I have not been ; and a lesson I once receive,! will never be forgotton.' The eyes of Mrs. Archer turned by a kind of instinct, towards her husband.-? He was standing near a brilliant gas lamp, the liffht of which was falling clearly on his face. Ilis glance was upon the floor. There wa* h shadow on his countenance whic'u the strong light, instead of obliterating, made more distinctly visible?a look of disappointment, that was almost sad. A ?e?r thought-flashed into tbe mind of Mrs. Archer, and touched hef wltli a feeling of tender &<*!f upbraiding. Was it possible that her husband had f?:lt her manner as . ? i?' _ - ? i uiiu, hi inniiicifin i ?? as 11 possit'io mat lie had noticed the hlnndriess <T her manner toward one who was but Utile l?j#s than a stranger, anil contrasted it an the lady liad done, with befr8ffetn:ng iDdiflerence to himself? Iler eyes were still oil his face, when he lifted his own from the floor, and , turned them full upon her. They were dull atid ftplriilt**. A little while they lingered upon her, and then moved hlowly away, if sec-king 6ome object pleiisanter to' look upon. Fur some lime Mrs. Archer continued gazing at lier husband, but ho did not look toward her again. Site sighed, and letting her eyes fall, remained lost in thought for 6ome moments. Then turning to the lady who sal by hor side, and who' was observing ber closely, the iaid, with a smile, half forced? ; ^ v 'Yotf roe, to .thinking.? .ja ?.

Away hack through many years, her thoughts went to the May time of their young love, when they liVed in the light of each other's eyes, and thought no tousic as sweet as each others voices. The time seemed long to Mrs. Archer, that they were required by etiquette to re main, for she desired to be alone with her husband. Not much was said by either as ihey walked homeward that uijjht, but the hand of Mr. Archer clung with a closer pressure, fit inly against a heart that beat with quicker pulsations. Doth time and place were soon proni lions. They Mood in their own chamber, I looking with a new expression in their eyes*, into each other's face. 4De?r husband ! I love yon, ami T am proud of you!

I UUIIU wjr ins winning Mucniiur.?', IIU le.ss I than by bis 'peculimly brilliant hazel ! eyes.' He is quite a beau, and a 'very j graceful and accomplished dance-,' ns lie proved by the way he whiiled the ladies through the mazes of 'paetry in motion.' lie set them right when they went wrong, and every now and then he called out the different figures of the dance. His da ic-ing was 'repeatedly cheered,' arid every time he danced he tcok a different partner ?half a dozen in all. Ho>y they must have been captivated by so sweet a prince, __ I. . 1 l! l l -i its iic uurrrcieu meir i blunders.' "^r~ - Probably the Indies of Newfoundland do not know nfltch about such matter*, and'tliesex in Canada are but little in advance of them. But when the Prince comes i-ere he will the ladies posted up? fully atqhninled with aU the neft figures and the most intricate step9. They have perfectly at their toes' ends the latest pas from Parip, and perhaps may be able even to teach hU R yal Highness something he does not know. We advise the ladies, therefore, to he prepared; armed at oil points, that they ''iay show the Prince of Wales that th^gcan dance better than the dimgpls of ti e British Provinces. Let ihem also be ready to be taken captive by the 'Mdviah' charms of nineteen years.? Little 'Tommy.' of the Jnpane?p TJ-nhassy, upon whom the w^en of Washington made such a rush, was, after all, not a real prinre, and he cannot compare for a mo ment in good looks and accomplishments with the son of the British Que >.n. Who can aay that the young scion of royalty may not he smittnn by some one of our Ameiiran beau?.te?, and marry her, too> as Matie Theresa married the youth she fixed her eye upon, in spite pfrj^yery remonstrance, and as Queen Vifct^frjnarried the man of her chflicejiCiaiSglish princes generally hare had $hf?r\m<irrtage contracts made for thiam by flien4 Miniotere, | without being consulted dn tub subject.

Edward G. Palmer. ? Your nex?. objection to granting aid to ( the Blue Ridge Railroad Company is sta- ' ted ilius : You bring to notice the South' Carolina Railroad,extending from Gourdin's |1 Station on tlio Northeastern Railroad to;' Charlotte, which, you say, 'will p'aue Char j' lesion in connection wtili the INorth tJaro-1 lina Western extension nt Staleville, a road j' penetrating to that very region of lountry j where the blue Ridge is attempted to bo;1 built. Let tne ask why this connection will 1 not fubserve all the purposes of the 131ue 1 Ridge road ?' 1 This is an assertion, though it is finl interrogatively, as you frequently !o in your, letter, when you intend to be emphatic. i The 'very region of country ( where the Blue, Ridge is attempted to bo built,' is . down tho valley of the Tennesseo liiver to 1 Knoxville. nnd nnnmnehi's nt niuvton wiili in one hundred and forty miles of Chalta- 1 noogrt, which is iho focal point of the Western roads, whose tra<Je is diverted to Charlesion ot Savannah. Your assertion is, that llie Stateville connection will put Charleston in r:oniiecliou*\vil| this rogion of country in a manner, so advantageous as to sub- j' servo the purposes of the Blue Ridge road, j The advantages of one railroad over an- ' o'Jier, is estimated by the comparative ' length *>f the roads, for the cost of trans pollution is generally io proportion to '.he ' length of the road, and yo? must, there- 1 fore, be understood to assert that it will not bo further by the Staleville connection from |' Charleston to Knoxville and Chattanooga, than it will be by the Rlue Ridge Road. From Charleston to Kuoxville, by the, Blue Ridge Read (via Aiken), is 410 miles and to Chattanooga by the lliwastee Branch (when built), will be 415 miles. I will now staio the distances from those places to Charleston, by the Stateville connection. The distance from Cliat'nnoogn, to Knoxville is 115 miles; Knoxville to Morrestowr, on the Virginia-and Tennessee liailroad, 42 miles; Morristown to l'aint Itock 35 miles; Paint Rock to Statesville, 162 miles. This distance is token from the re port of Col. GwfNX to the Governor of Noith Carolina, in 1854, of the survey locution mil estimated cost of the extension of the North Carolina Central Railroad from Salisbury to l'aint Rock, which wore ordered to be made by the North Carolina Legislature. From Statesville to Charlotte, measured on Poor's llailroad Map, .nut less than 50 mileage sum of these distances shows Clutrlotte, by the Stateville connection, (o be 289 miles from Knoxville and 404 miles from Chattanooga. The distance from Charlotte to ^Gourdin's Station is 142 mile*, and from that Station to Charleston is 50 miles, which would place Knoxville, bv the Stateville connection, 481 ...:i f f\ I. ..._ i r>\ _ inius iiu 111 v. uai icmoii, i?uu ^iiauanooga 596 miles. The excess of these distances would present serious objections to your proposed substitute for the Blue Ridge Uoad with the t-ilizent of Charleston ; but I slip pose you regard it as insignificant, when it is opposed to the Statevillu connection. But itjo greater distances from Chattn nooga ana ivnoxvuie by ilie siatev.llu connection than by the Blub Ridge Road, do not present the most btrious objection to your statement that the Stateville connection wil! subserve all llie purposes cf the Blue Ridge Road. Before your Stateville connection can be available, North Carolina rtnlst finish its road across the Blue Ridge mountains to AshenjUe, and from AsLevillcc<jto> I'aiiit Kock, which is on llie western boundary of North Carolina; and tben the Tonnessco Company must finish the road from Pairtt Ilock to Morristown; Col. Gwynn estimated (ho cosl of the road*froro Faint Itock to Flat Creek, near Asheville, lo be $1,140,000; from .Flat Creek across the mounlains to be $3,-000,000 ; tlie Piedmont Section $88tf.000f and thgnce to SdlUbiiry $1,400,000?making a total of nearly $7,008^60. Col. Gwvnn's locution yra? through tbe Swannaooa Gap. t do not know that tbe extension wbioh is in progtess of conftrfietion wilt cross that Gap. B^t tliu figures I have shown inuit be a near approximation of the cost of ibe .several natural divisions of tbe road from Salisbury to Asbeyille, which fein-^progress. Wtyh what assurance can you affirm, that iMtPfiopl? o^orth Carolina will'construct the. road across the mountainsf, Jp*> ypq, Iwheve tliHt they "Will f'.'fbo undertaking pf the Blnd^Ridge Railroad -Company to l>?Hd a road acron the same Blo?

If your >piiiioi) respecting the Hiuc Hidgo road bo jorrecf, must riot yon, and all tho people of South Carolina, have reason to fear lliat lie light of your wisdom my iihine upon lie people of North Carolina, and that hey may adopt your opinion thai their unJertnking is one of tho veriest humbugs that ever engaged the attention of a sensible hut deluded people ? Hut if we may depend on the continued delusion of the North Carolinians until lliaf veriest humbug, their road across tho mountains to Afiheville, shall be completed, f?t this point two routes present themselves, iibout which, to say the least, tho people of North Carolina are divided. One descends ihc French Broad to Paint l.ock, having Morristown for its terminus, ami forms your Stiitevillo connection wilb Knoxvillo ; llie other route proceeds, southwardly, to Diicktown. The latter \vouU seem to bo ihe route preferred, because (lie engineers tre now engaged in the survey and location of it. Should litis route be adopted, it may bo a long time before the French Broad rotltefa tompleled. If tlie FreriTfi; Broad route should bo chosen, your difficulties are not then ended, How c|i;ill the road from lV.ini Rpck Morristown be mailt!? I know from the oath of the President of that Company, to fi creditors' bill, filled against the Stockholders for payment of their judgments, [hat that Company is insolve:.t. Under these eireii instances, and with the "pinion you have c-xpressed ri spocting the- * Blue Ridge Road, is it not a delusion worse, even than you think the Blue Ridge Road to be, depend on the Stateville connection as a substitute for the Blue Ridg? Road, and to ur<?e tho availability and sufficiency O J - - J of the former, ns an argument for abandoning the latter ? The last of your objections which 1 will notice, is expresscJ by inteijections of amazement. 1 You advise the people of Edgefield District not to waste their energies "upon ohe of the veriest humbugs tit at ever engaged the attention of a sensible but deluded peo pie;" and thus close the paragraph : "Was there ever before so monstrous a folly attempted to be perpetrated by a sensiblo people!'? ' . The Blue Ridge Railroad Company havo undertaken to connect, by railroad (the only practicable connexion) the State of South Carolina #JtH thti navigable waters and system of railroads in the Mississippi valley. The States of Maryland, Virginia and Georgia, at a cost manifold greater than what is solicited from South Carolina, have effected that connection. In every instance the completion of the roads havo been followed l>y cvei flowing prosperity.? The entiro population of those States, high nnd low, rich nnd poor, wise and simple, commend the wisdom of those undertakings w^ich experience of thcfr benefits has made manifest to all. Statesmen and patriot?, whose virtue and wisdom are canon ized in the memory of the people of South Carolina, devoted all their energies twentyfive years ago to the accomplishment of tjio great national work. Tf^the authority of the multitude of wise and virtuous rheii, who have exhausted their energies in efferting, or in the attempt to effect, a connection between the Atlantic ai.d the Western States by railfftads?the universal commendation of snjuh a connection when it has b$$n completed?the experience of its benefit, which has forced conviction to the most stubborn adversaries?if all these ibincs cannot persuade O m yoti, nothing can. It may be that you are wiser than all the wisdom collected of those who caodcd through.Jlie Southern Atlantic Railroaus across the mountains. You may be wiser than experience.
