My tale is one of common life; there are
no ll:tll' hretitlib escapes, no crushing reverses
no overwheluiing vicissitudes to disturb the
quiet course of human events. In :1 country
like ours, where nearly one half of the
rueinbt-rs of every large family are induced
to look abroad for fortune, l.l'lt’S"~l.Illl’lgS are
ofsuch common occtii'i‘cnce.tl1:tt. perhaps I
ought to apologize for offering so coniuion
place a subjet t. to the attention of my gentle
reader. We hear daily of youngttnd enter

home and friends, and alter years of toil,
rg-ti1i'i3i;g,p:, in. tlti.-jr itakjvu land, pru:‘pt'.l'0l1S,‘
and, as it would st cm, happy. But may I
not be purdoricd if I venture to lift the golden
tissue which rests upon the lienrt, and show
the price at which the rich \’t’Sl.lllt'fll has been
put-cliasetl ?
Eustace devoted himstslfto business with It
dcgrt--e of zeal and perseverance that could
not but command t-iigrossing study of all
that could tend to the. accompli.-htnent of
his designs, he gradually lost much of his
poignant regret. His whole soul became
absorbed in the :t(‘.qtiisit.ion of wealtli,an(l his
ideas of a conipett-nt fortune become so ex‘
ptttlflt-(I, that the go rl of his hopes sec-int-d to
flct.-t ftll’l.lit;‘l‘ on the more rapidly he sped tow-
ards it. His letters to I-Iclen were full ofafIec-
tion, and many a f-tnttstic token of rcmem
braricc, carvt-d with the ivonderrful skill of
the singular people timongwhom he sojourn-
ed, caitnt-. over _the wide waste of waters, to
cheer the lonely girl. But alas! it was
with them as with all others :--
"The fondcst tltoitggliistwo hearts can cherish,
\Vl:e.u each is loot.-ly doomcdto weep.
Are fruits in tlesert isles that pt*?l‘l.~l'l,
Or treasures buried in the deep."_
Many a tt-rider thought, manya gentle
fai'ic_v, which if iittercd in the earofaflcclion
would have been as the sweet voice of an
angel, softening the heart which li.‘e’s cares
were iiidiiraiirig, and clit;-eriti_g the bosom

was necessarily lost in

twcen the writing and the re-adiiig of the
precious letters which were like winged
incsserigors of love across the tracklt-ss
ocean.

of those letters. Still tender and aflec

of fragrant fiowers to charm the weary eye;
and ifit be capable of producing not only
the perishing blossoms, but also the rich

as well as the usefulness of both increased.
Helen had no such ideas however. For hgr
life had but one aim and but one hope’;
close attention to womanly dutiesshe wts

lover would fulfil the second.

‘Are you tnarried too, Frank?’
‘Yes, I have one ofthe best of wives, and

‘Then I suppose you have made a fortune
too ?’
‘No, no, Harry, fortunes do not grow
here as fast as they do in tropical countries.
I own a farm whose produce suffices for the
support of my fatnily, and my profession
brings me an income from twelve to fifteen
hundred dollars per annum. I do not count
my salary as mayor, for that is all consumed
in extra expenses attendant upon the office.

old age, but riches I never expect to obtain
My whole estate would scarcely pay for such
a thing as that,’ and Hargrave pointed as
he spoke, to the superb silver table which
stood beside his friend, strewed with costly
Indian toys. '
‘You have comejust in time, Frank.’ said
Eustace. after a pause, ‘this is my ivedding
day, Iain to be mnrrintl this evening.’
‘Ah, I am truly glad of ii; poor I‘]€lt'ti!
she has waited long for you, Hurry; her
youth and beauty have faded, and yet, now
that I look more closely at you, she is not
more changed than yourself. VVhat a bron-

Eustace sighed heavily.
‘Nay, do not sigh about it, Harry, I dare
say you are as handsome as ever in the eyes
of Helen.’
Poor. poor Helen I’ said Eustace, despond-
inglv.
‘Rather say ric/t. Helen.’ cried Frank.
gaily, ‘why, man, you have more gold and

are accustomed to handle in a life time.’
‘Yet would I give all my hard earned

‘Good Heavens! Eustace, with such feel-

‘Why do I marry? Can you ask such a
question, Ftatik? should I not be a n ouster
if I hesitate-d when the path of dirty is so
pluin_? Who condemned her young years to
the blight of loneliness and hope deferred?

now the Sl'(‘fIS of disease are sown, and I
know that she will die; yet instead of being
agonized at the very thought of such a catas-
trophr-, I can talk of it cnltnly, and without
one thrill of the anguish which in earlier
duys would have rent my very heart strings.
Am I not then changed? Itell you, man,
my capacities for love and lrappirtcss are
rlertrl wit/tin me. Even as they who delve
the mine lose their rhysical vigor and be-
conw old ere they reach their prime, so have
my ft.-t-lings bvcrittte blighted and blasted by
the poisonous atmosphere ofgold. My locks
are still unbleached, but ’l)1:I/ /iertrt is grc_7/.—-
The necessity of loving no longer exists ;—I
am past all enjoyment of heart and mind --
The €'X(‘ll.(~‘fllt‘nl of money making, like that
of gainblina. iinfits the mind for quiet pleas-
ures; my books, to which Ithought I shoud
return with new zest, are utterly distasteful
to me, — I can never again be the ilb$I.l"riCl.:!d 5;
inianinative student. My early love, which
in all my \vandt=rint__is was like the stars of
hope, now gleams dimly and Idll]ll_\’ through
the mist of yr.-itrs,—I can be the kind hits-
hand but never again the passionate. love-r.—
To exhibit my wealth to admiring and envi-
ous eyes,--to live amid luxuries which I
despise, although habit has made them
necessary to my comfoi‘t,—to watch with
regrctful tenderness over the fading away of
the only creature who loves me, while re-
morse is ever in my heart, because of my
otvn inert affections,——sticli is my future des-
tiny. You pity me, Frank,—ob! may you
never know the pang of self-pit’:/,—the com-
passsion for onc’s own self, which now stirs
within my bosom when I behold around me
so many means of enjoyment, and feel myself
so incapable of appreciating them. I have
made gold my idol, and verily I have my
reward.’
‘You judge too hastily ofyoursclf, Hurry;
had vou remained at home the same changes
might have occurred in Helen, and at the
same length of time might have elapsed ere
you could marry.’ ‘
‘No, no, Frank, Icannot deceive mvself
with any stich sophistry. Had I been here
to watch over her failing health, to guide
her gentle mind to develop her latent quali-
ties, to assimilate her to myself,—we should
now be happy, for [should never then have
learned how unsuited were our characters.
Do you remember the story of the blind man,
who had been accustomed to consider his
wife beautiful, because her voice was one of
extreme sweetness, and who, ivhen restored
to sight felt more grief at the loss of that
delusion, than joy at the arqtiisition of all
the blessings of light? Such is my fate;
"my love has been like the lamp enclosed in
an antique Sf‘plllCltl‘e, burning clear and un-
ditnmed while shut up within my own bosom
but dying out into a feeble glimmer beneath
the glare of open day.’

Resolutions.
Resolved therefore, that we‘ nominate
John Tyler for the ofiice of President in
i844, and Martin Van Buren for Vice Pres-
idc-nt—-wishing the latter Tyler’s luck.
Resolved, That the firmness with which
the President has resisted the attempt of
Congress to 'head him,’ exhibits an indomit-
able courage, worthy of the best courage in
Christendom.
Resolved, That the withdrawal of confi-
dence from the President by a mere majori-
ty oftbe Congress of the United States, ex-
hibits an unwarrantable disregard for a vast
accumulation of wisdom eta lawless attempt
of subalterns to think and act forthemselves.
Resolved, that the records ofall past his-
tory do not furnish the example of another
such a man ‘as John Tyler, and doubt wheth-
er the history of the future ever will.
Resolved, That in otir opinion John Tyler
did not shed tears at the defeat of Henry
Clay at the, Harrisburg Convention. .
Resolved, That by the appointment -zof

of this city. the President has demonstrated
that he has prescience ofthose who will.utt-
der any circumstances support the Executive,
and that he understands the wants of this
people better than they dothemselves.
Resolved, Thatginasmuch as the President
has pressed Congress, in the most emphatic
ut l'(*’$p<~clfUl language he could employ,
'0 na,ss_such laws as suited his notions of the
public interest, uu .., _ __,,_g;,,],, for any
evils which oppress the nation.
Resolved, That it. was consistent for’ the
President to sign the Distribution; although
it was just as consistent to veto it TartffBtll

children.” said John Adams to his wife, “is
