ONLY A HUSBAND.
'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were withdrawn, and no matter what the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?" And when he saw the liglrt
growing d*ily dimmer and dimmer; and
felt its genial warmth diminishing, a shadow
fell upon his ppirit. Very kind, rery
aitemivej^ue. DyROAQrt regained, but bu

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. His eyes ?vero fixed upon
her countenance, but she did not so much
as return his look, nor make the slightest
acknowledgment, merely receiving the
handkerchief with a nniet indifference, in
striking eorlrast with the way in which
i....i ?..i <i i r. .1?i
Tine iifwi iiinni iiiu nijui uuuuivr .*) i
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? ; ^

Otcitted tbe-form of acknowledgment, be
cause he must know that the feeling whs in
her heart.
"What a change came instantly in her
husband's face ! What a looked of pleased
surprise almost grateful in its expression. j
Veril v she had her reward ! How tender- ;
Iv he leaned toward her. and what n new j
meaning was in his tones, as ho remarked !
on some topic of the hour. And did not j
her heart leap up at these signs of the af- ,
fection that was in Ins heart, still warm'Suid I
lover-like?still pleased with tokens of kindnci?s
and ready to reward them twenty
fold. 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! You are not like oilier
iripr..' Mrs. Archer drew an arm around
his neck, and laid her lips upon his lips.
'God bless you for tho words!' ho answered,
with ft joyful ihrill in hi* voice.
'You did not doubt my lo\-e?' sho said,
in half surprise.
.\T _ 1 % . % * . * "
-j*o--no. jjui worns and toKensot love
are always grateful. Yon are dear to me
as my life. Let us keep the golden links
thai bind our hcatts together blight as in
the beginning, burnishing tl'em with small,
sweet courtesies. Forgive me if, in aught,

THE PRINCE'OF WALES AND THE LADIE8.
It seems, eays the Herald, that the
Prince of Wales is a ladied' man, and produced
a sensation among the fair at St.

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,

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

Who can aay that the young scion of

From the Charleiton Courier. i
To the Hon. 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

aod by the offer of thit #ub#tilute, endeavor

>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.

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.

and virtuous rheii, who have exhausted their
energies in efferting, or in the attempt to
effect, a connection between the Atlantic

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

make a suggestion. -Whatever you think,
do not proclaim it so publicly.
