THE DRUNKARD’S \VIFE.
Before the altar stood
The bridcgroorn and the bride,
\Vith willing hands and blended hearts
The ho y knot was tied;
And when he spake the words
So welcome and so dear,
There glisten'd in her mild blue eye
That test of lovc—a tear!
it as art-
it
But year has followed year-—
As wave succeeds to wave-
The once loved wife is joy less now,
And he a druukcnslave.
Vice o’cr hint holds her sway,
And from his dark career
She tries to win him, and her eye-
Ilcr dini’d eye drops at tear!
}ler kintlngss pleads in vaiu—-
His heart is st-ar’d and hard
And tauntings loud, and citicl blows
Arc that food wil'e’s reward.
He spurns her from his side,
Willi look and words severe,
Yet for that ruffian’s sake, Ilt r eye
Is gushing with a tear!
That vvift-’sa widow now;
The star ofliope shall rise
No more for licr—-her bosom lord
Died as the drunk-.ird dies!
God help this bruised reed
Her load of woe to be r;
For none but thou can rest her soul
Who cannot shed a tear !
MISCELLANY
MRS. CAUDLE’S CURTAIN LECURES.
Candle /ras been made a flIctson—./llrs.
Candle ‘z'72dr:g*72unt’ and curious.
Now, Mr. Caudle—Mr. Candle, say;
oh! you cau’t be asleep already, I know.
Now, what I mean, is this; here's no use,
none at all in our having any disturbance
about the matter : but, at last my mind’s
made tip, Mr. Candle; I shall leave you.
Eitherl l~llO\\' all you’ve been doing to
night, or two-morrow morning I quit the
house. No, no ; there's an end of the
marriage state, I tliink—an end ofall con-
fidence between man and wife——if a llllS-
band’s to have secrets and keep ’cm all to
himself. Pretty secrets they must be,
when his own wife can’t know ’cm. Not
fit for any decent person to know, I'm sure,
if that’s the case. Now, Candle, dou’t let
us quarrel; there’s a/0‘OO(I soul, tell me
what it's all about '!-5‘. pack of nonsense
[dare say; still—not thatl care tnuch
about it—still, I should like to know.——
There’s a dear, eh ! oh, don’t tell me there's
nothing in it; Iknow better. I’m not a
fool Mr. Candle; I know there’s a good
deal in it. I’m sure I’d tell you any thing.
You know I wottld. VVcll ’!
Candle, you’re enough to vex a saint.
Now, dou’t you think you're going to sleep,
because you’re not. Do you suppose I’d
ever suffer you to go and be made a ma-
son, if I did not suppose I was to
krio v the secret too? Not that it's any
thing to knotv, I dare say; and that’s why
I’m determined to lmow it.
Brit I lmow what it is; oh, yrs, there
can be no doubt. The secret is to ill-tise
poor women ; to tyranize over them——to
male ’cm your slaves; especially your
vtives. It must be something of the sort,
or you wouldn't be ashamed to have it
known. VVhal’s right and proper never
need be done in secret. It's an insult to
a woman for a man to be a free-mason, and
let his wife know nothing of it. But, poor
soul‘ she's sure to know it somehow—— for
nice husbands they all make. Yes, yes;
a part of the secret is to think better ofall
the world. than their own families. I'm‘
sure men have quite an enough to CIITC for
—that is, if they act properly-—to care for
them they have at home. ‘They can't
have much care to spare for the world be.
sides.
And I suppose they call you Brother
Candle’! A pretty brother, indeed! Going
and dressing yourself up in an apron, like
a turnpi‘~;eman——for that’s what you look
like. And I should like to knotv what the
apron is for’! There inttst be sornething
in it not very respectable, l’ui sure.—VVell,
I only wish I was Queen for a day or two.
]’d put an end to free-masonry and all such
trumpery, I know.
Now, come, Candle; don’t let’s quarrel.
Eh! You’re not in pain, dear’! What are
you lying laughing there at’! But I am
a fool to trouble my head about you.
“And you are not going to let iue know
the secret, eh! You mean to say—y0u’re
not ’!—Now Candle you know it's a hard
matter to put me in a passion——not that
I care about the secret itself; no, I would
not give a button to know it, for it’s all
nonsense, I'm sttre. It isn’t the secret
that I care about; it is the slight Mr. Cau-
dlel-—it’s the studied insult that a man
pays to his wife, when he thinks of going
through the world keeping something to
himself which he won’t Ittt her know. Man
and wife one indeed! I should like to
know how that can be, when a man's n
mason-when he keeps a secret that st-ts
him and his wife apart! Ha! you men
' make the laws, and soyou take good care
to have all the best of ’em to yourselves;
otherwise. a womanouglit to be allowed a
divorce when a maxi becomes a mason.-
When he‘s got a sort of corner cupboard
in his heart—a secret place in hi's mind-
that his poor wife isn’t allowed to rumage.
‘Candle you shnn’t close your eyes for
a week—no,yon shan’t-—unless you tell
_me some of it. I’m sure, Candle, I would
not refuse you anything—and you know it
or .ougIi_t t_o.lgnotv it by this time. I only
wish I had a secret! To whom should I
think of confiding it, but to my dear hus-
band ‘! I. should be miserable to keep it to
myself, and you know it. 1\'ow, Candle!
‘\Vas there ever such a man ! A man
indeed! A brute l——yes, Mr. Candle, an
uufeeling brutal crcatuse, when you might
oblige me, and you won‘t. I'm sure I don’t
object to your being a mason; not at all
Caudlc:,l dare say it is a very good thing
——I dare say it is——it's only your ma « ing :1
secret of it that vexes me. But you’ll tell
rne—you‘ll tell your own Margaret ’!——You
won't’! You’re a wretcli Mr. Catidle.
‘But I know wl.y——oh, yes, I can tell.
The fact is, that you’re ashamed to let me
know ‘what a fool they’ve been making of
you. That’s it. You, at your time of
life—the father ofa family. I should be
ashamed of myself, Candle.
‘And I suppose you'll be going to what
you call your Lodge every night now.—-
Lodge indeed! Pretty place it must be
where they don’t admit women. Nice go-
ings On, I (lure say. Then you call one
another brethren. Brethren, I am srtre
you’d relations enough, yoti didn’t want
any more.
‘But I know what. all this masonrv’s a-
bout. It’s only an excuse to get away from
your wives and families,tliatyott may feast
and drink together, that's all. That's all.
—’I‘luit’s the secret. And to abuse wo-
man--as if they wcreinferioranimals, and
not to be trusted. That's the secret, and
nothing else.
‘Now, Candle, don't let us qtiarrcl. Yes
I know you’re in pain. Still, Candle, my
love—Caudle! Dearest, Isay, Candle!

lrecollect nothing more, says Candle,

HONORABLE EMPLOYMENT.
We find the following in an exchange paper
without credit, and we therefore adopt the lan-
guage, as our own,as the sentiments mostcer-
tainly are.
' VVhat is the most honorable employ-
ment’! Is it to carry a green bag and
talk on knotty points oflaw in open court’!
Is it to amplify a yard-stick with graceful
dexterity’! Is it to wear a cockade as a
sign of successful office~seelritigl Is it to
sit at a shattered table in the garret, with
a goose-quill behind the ear, and a fore-
finger between the eye-brows, supporting
an editoi"s acltincr head over a blank quire
oi‘-‘paper 2 All these employn'ieiits'may be
honorable so far as they are useful in so-
ciety, and no farther. Do you agree to
this’! Then you will also agree to this
plain rule: whatever is the most useful is
the most honorable employment. Apply
this rule to the skilful, industrous ani]
honest: cultivator of the earth. Who
could live but for him ’!—Who produces
so much of what is absolutely indispensa-
ble to the wants of his fellows as he’! Is
not this employment, then, honorable, in
propoiuion as his labors are the most use-
ful of any in the world’! Let him be rep-
resented accordingly. Next to him is the
scientific Mechanic, who bttilds our houses
and ships, and makes ourhouschold goods.
He too, should be honored. Lawyers, that
prevent, rather than encourage litigation;
Prcaclicrs, who labor to promote “peace
on earth and good will toward men,” rath-
er than to excite the sectarian antipatlties
of their hearers; Doctors, who seek to
prevent disease rather than tamper with it
for a fee; merchants who sell at fair pri-
ces, deceive not their customers, and keep
true accounts: these, and indeed all other
classes, are useful classes, and are useful
and necessary in society, and sbotild be
encouraged and honored accordingly: but
it is time the notion was done away, that
farming and hantlicrafzare not respectable.
They are on the whole more useful, and
therefore should be regarded more honor-
able. The mcii who own the soil they
till; who can live indepently by their own
productions and then supply other classes
of citizens with the means of subsistence,
are the true nobility ofaRepulilic. They
are the “bones and muscles’ which must
keep the body politic together. “To re-
spect them.——VVould that there were more

VVhen the Prince Bishop of Leige was
riding to battle at the head of a finc body
of troops, he was asked by a spectator,—
‘How he, a minister of religion, could en-
gage in the iniquitics of war’! ‘I wage
war,’ replied the prclate, ‘in my character
of prince, and not of archbishop.’ ‘And
pray,’ continued the interrogator, ‘when
the devil carries off the prince, what will

Cuc»umbers.—-A correspondent of the
Boston Cultivator, an excellent Agricultur-
al paper by the way, gives the following
directions for improving the culture ofcu
cumbers :
‘As soon at there appears several flower
-buds on a plant, bend the second or third
joint or branch below the bloom, fasten it
{firmly intlie ground, and cut offlhe capil-
liary point of the plant. The vegetable
lspeedlly takes root, when you separate it
5from the parent stalk. Proceed thus with
most vigorous plants; and as each root
has only to support a few fruits with
monrishment, you both save labor and pro-
"cure a constant succession of cuctitnbers
fora number of months, from one sort,
and which are not likely to degenerate as
if they were raised from a variety of seed.
Circulation of 1i’c/1'3.-',r:t.'s Pu]2ers.——At it
late iucctiug of the Sunday School Union
of the Mcthodi.-t Episcopal Church, the
Secreta.y reported that the circulation of
the Sunday School Advocate, was already
-l-8,000, and was rapidly approaching. 50,-
000 ;—-“and therefore the largest in the
country.” __ '
VVe have received an anonymous com-
munication which says that the circula-
larion of the American Messenger is 47,-
000; that of the Day Spring, over 50,000;
and of the Youth‘s Penny Gazette, over
h0,000.—C0m. flclv.
The Secretaries of War and of the Na-
vy, to.whom the subji-ct was referred by
the last House of Representatives, have
arrived at the conclusion that Colt’s sub-
marine battery is notliing‘ new; that he
is entitled to neither praise or reward ; and
that he ltas only availed himselfofFttlton’s
stationary torpedoes and Prof. Hare-’s gal-
vanic currcnt. It appears from the com-
rnunicmion of the Secretary ofthe Navy,
however, that all l\'Ir. Colt’s labors have
not been for nought. He has received
from that department over $l:'),00O, on
his own account, and over 2,000 for experi-
ments——amounting in all to upwards of

The R,,,;’[u,-gy.s~ and the .Maz'l.—The Act
just passed by the Legislature, requires all
railway companies in the State, on appli-
cation of the Post Master General, to con-
,-ev the U. S. mails on their roads; and in
the event of a disagreement with the Post-
master"on the part of any company, as to
the time, rate of speed, manner and condi-
tion of carrying the mails, the Covernor
is to appoint three commissioners, who, or
a majority of them. after fifteen days no-
tice in writing, of the time and place of
meeting to such company, shall determine
and fix the prices, terms and condit'ons.
