A Psalm of Life.
The following is one of the best poetic versions of the'
48th Psalm that we have ever seen ':
God is our refuge in distress—
Our safeguard in the wilderness—
’ Our shelter from the storm ;
Though winds and waves a conflict make,
Though earth’s foundations reel and shake,
We need not feel alarm.
A peaceful river softly'ilows
In tranquil streams to gladden those
Who put their trust in God ;
Within his holy place the feel
The comfort of his presence still, -
While oceans roll abroad.
Wh t though the heathen madlyrage,
And kingdoms in fierce war engage?
When God sends forth his voice,
110 makes the glittering spear to bend,
, .Sends peace to earth’s rcmotest end,
And bids the world rejoice.
Be still and know that be is God,
He rules the earth with iron rod
And sits enthroned above ;
He dwells with those who own his name, ‘
The God of Jacob still the same—
The God of peace and love. .

BY A. L.
Mr. friend H. married early in life.—
The lady that he chose was a beautiful
but weak-minded girl ; .'H. was a whole-
souied pleasure-loving youth, the lifeof
every circle that he favored with his
company.
The club of which he was a member
acknowledged that he was the wittiest
and handsomest man among them ; but,
as I have already said, H. married early;'
' and now, let me add, only three months
had elapsed when we observed a marked
change in our favorite. .
His bright smile Was changed for a se-
rious, and often sad, expression ; he came
to the club-rooms less frequently than had
been his Wont, and while there he read
his paper and smoked, seldom joining in
any conversation.
' He had been in the habitof taking out
but one cigar during the evening, and
that was sometimes thrown away .hali
consumed. Now he seemed to smoke, as
some persons drink, “ to drive away dull
care.” When the door opened he star-
ted and held his cigar half hidden by his
paper, as if afraid of being caught in some
forbidden enjoyment. .
After I had observed my friend, even-
ing after'evening, and felt courinced that
some secret sorrow was destroying his
peace, I one night left the room with him
offering to walk home by his side. ‘He
drew my arm within his own, and gave
my hand afrisndly pressure ; as he turned
his face toward the gas-light, I saw a tear
stood in his eye. - I said, “ H.,'are you
in trouble ;csu I relieve you? Do you
need pecuniary old? If so, let me have
the pleasure of. bestowing it; You bars
a young wife, and your o'enses must
necessarily have increased, . perhaps'more
than anticipated ; and young lawyers
sometimes have to wait long for their fees.
If you wouldiike to borrow money, any
so ; I have more than enough for an old
bachelor.” , ’ -
“Old bachelor l
0
would that I were—"
. Here he‘paused, and tuning to me: ed-
ded, “ B., reveal not what I'juatutt'ered.
You have always been like a brother to
me, and you shall know the «use of my
l
*—
. me.
distress ; I am sure you will never, make
an improper use of what I tell you.”
After assuring him that he might safe-
ly confide in me, that I would. never di-
vulgebis secret until I receved hisper-
mission, I listened to the following recital:
“ I married too hastily; Clara’s beau-
ty dazzled me, and I saw not her defeats;
the poor girl declares she loves me, but
peferablc would be her hatred. [cannot
leave her presence without being obliged
on my return to account for every mo-
ment of my absence. Any spot is better
than my home, yet I cannot seekx peace
elsewhere without a certaintythat I must
pay a severe penalty. My‘wife forbids
' ,me to smoke in her presence,.therefore 1
must go abroad to enjoy what I cannot
discontinue at once. In deed, the desire
for such indulgence increases with my
' efforts to leave it of.”
Suddenly starting, my friend exclaim-
ed, “ There she is com-with her head out
- softhe window this cold night, though I
have besonght her not to expose her
health in this way; but such is her re-
venge for my going abroad. Can you
wonder- why I am changed? I would
rather die than live thus.” '
Ere I had spoken many words of con-
solation we were at my friend’s door. I
‘ was pressing H ’s hand when the door
opened, and a delicate, but beautiful lady
held a light which showed too plainly the
frown which disfigured her fair face.
“ Well, sir, home at:lastl” and the
door clased ere I had finished saying
“ Good-night.”
_ ' I was en‘raged, and declared that any
man was a fool to submit tb such treat-
ment. I resolved that I‘would marry in
less than a month, to show IL, and other
unfortunates, that a. woman can be gov-
erned.
I lay awake that night-thinking over
all my lady friends, and considering which
should be my victim. Some were too
silly, others too plain-looking; but I re-
membered one that was beautiful, intelli-
gent, and so high-spirited that to subdue
her would be a grand achieVement. .
I had wealth, position, and (excuse my
vanity) not a bad person. The fair one
in question I had always admired, and
she had invariably received me well. In-
de d, I had been assured by an acquaint-
ance of Miss 0., that I was a favorite
with her. But as I had resolved to lead
a single life, I had never entertained any
serious intentions toward the one I now
determined to marry, if she would accept
I decided to put on the chains of
matrimony to prove that they could not
always enslave. '
In three weeks from that night I ,had
caught my bird. We. were to be united
'toward the close of the following week, in
accordance with my , wishes, that we
might spend the holidays with my parents
in Virginia.
On our return. we took possession of
our newly furnished mansion. We gave
a large party, or rather it was my party,
that 1 might invite all. my bachelor
friends, as well as some poor unhappy
married ones. '- ‘ ‘
I was astonished when my bride agreed
to all my arrangements, though she knew
as well as I did that they were peculiar.
“ Oh, a new broom sweeps clean,”
thought I. “ She will show out when no
longer a bride ; I know she is proud and
spirited enough.”
The evening passed delightfully, and I
confess I was skeptical as to my ability to
disturb my‘wife’s peace of mind. _
The guests retired, after paying me
many compliments on my choice of a wife
and we Were alone. As soon as I could
interrupt Mary’s gay and charming cou-
versation, I said, “ My dear, what do
you think of my having the wine and
smoking arrangement for the gentlemen?’.’
“Oh, it was a capital idea, my bus-
band ; it must have pleased your bachel-
or friends to see that you could not for-
get their comfort, although no longer one
of them. I must. note it down, that it
may never be forgotten when we give em
tertsinmenis ; married people are too in-
difi'erent about the comforts of poor old
bachelors.” .
I was again disappointed; but I de-
termined not to retire until I had called
forth one frown or posting look.
Mywife had been sitting with one arm
around me; I gently drew myself from
her embrace (I .could not do it rudely)
and took a cigar from my case. I knew
that before our engagement she disliked
the habit of smoking. ,
I calmly seated myself upon a lounge,
and pufi'ed away.
“ Did you observe Mrs. M.’s brooch?”
inquired my wife, coming toward me and
seating herself by my side. “ No,” I re-
plied, and smoked away vigorously.
Mary continued. to chat gaily, but sud-
denly turned pale, and dropped her head
on my shoulder. She had fainted. I
rang for a servant, opened the window,
and applied restoratives.‘ We bore’ her
to her sleeping-room, and she soon re
vived. -
I asked, “What made you ill? Was
it the cigar? Why did you not speak
when you first felt its effects i” and I felt
myself blush with shame as I hurriedly
asked these questions.
, “ I wished to accustom myself to your
smoking,” answered my wife ; “ for I
could not bear to drive you from my
presence every time you wish to enjoy a
cigar.” "
“ Angel i” I exclaimed,
smoke again.”
“ Oh, my husband,” said Mary, make
no rash promises ; the habit is not easily
overcome, and I do not, ask you to dis-
continue it; now that I know that I cant
hear it, I can retire to the library when
you wish to smoke.” ,
She has never been obliged to leave
or us ‘; I have never smoked since, and
w d not be hired to take another cigar
into my mouth. A night or two after
the above occurrence. I was sitting by
my wife, who was amusing me by recoun-
ting the events of 'the day which had just
pussed, some anecdotes of her housekeep-
ing etc I was charmed by her affection
and Mimic, and would gladly have re-
mained by‘ her side. But she was to be
subdued in all respects, and in one she
had not been tried. Since our marriage
I had not visited the club-rooms. I look-
ed at. my watch, and carelessly remarked
,“ I shail'go ‘ to the club, Mary ; if you
grow sleepy do not wait for ‘me,‘I’lisve a
k I,
. “ I shall never
O .
YA shade of sadness liitted across her
beautiful face, but it was succeeded by
one other sweetest smiles.-
.Spnnging from my side, she ran to the
hall, brought my overcoat, shoes, 'etc.,
placed them before the fire, and said,
“Do notforget them before vou leave
the club, my husband, and walk fast that
you may not. get cold ; indeed, I have
another reason for wishing you to hasten
home—it will be a. lonely evening without
you; but you have deprived yourself of
better-society so long, that I can bear to
spend an evening in anticipation, instead
of in the enjoyment of your company.”
I hesitated—almost decided not to go;
but it . would not do to yield. I went,
and was almost as‘dull ‘as > IL, who was
also there.” He ‘obs'erved my manner,and
whispered, " In trouble already ?”
“ Yes,” I answered, and I shall be in
trouble until I acknowledge myself-con-
quered. I married to enjoy the pleasure
of “ taming a shrew ;” but I find myself-
wedded to an angel; I must confess my
mistake, and make myself, worthy the
wife that God has. given me. Some
other old bachelor must woo a woman
to show that a woman can be ruled. I
am vanquished, and gladly do I‘ yield to
‘such a victor.” '
Poor H. sighed, rose and walked the
floor for some minutes ; then approaching
me he said, “Why this difference ? Your
wife is beautiful and eceful, so is pine.
Your wife says she 1 es you, So oes
mine. Yours-J ‘ ‘
“ Hold interrupted I “ your wife says
she loves yon—mine proves it by consult»
ingmy happiness. You warned me against
my wife’s pride and spirit; I grant she
possesses a large share of both and what
would a woman be without these traits?
Mary has excellent sense and fact. These
teach her how to control those character-
istics which might make us both unhappy
Yes, 11., any man that has brains at all
must not choose a beautiful wife without
intellect, rather let him wed one with a
plain face, a wa cart, and good sense.”
I shook hands with poor H. and pitied
him sincerely, then- crossed 1‘ . , hall
to the room where were abs mbled
many members of the club. I made
a farewoll address, in which I advised
them to follow my example, and shook
Lands with all. Some ,bantered me ; but
the greater number said their acquaint-
ance with my wife had half induced them
to look around for an opportunity to do
as I had done ; and they nil.promised to
accept my wife’s invitation to come freely
to our home whenever they felt like hav-
ing quiet domestic enjoyment.
I hastened home, entered the dining-
room, where I saw the gas burning ;' my
slippers were worming before the ,
near Which-Was drawn a great armzchairf;
on the table were a cup and saucer, be-
sides other arrangements for a comforta-
ble supper.
I rang the ‘bell, andthe waiter appear»
ed I asked him who had placed my slip-
pers there. He smiled and said, " I saw
mistress put them there, sir.”
As it was not a late hour, I was sur-
prised that my wife was not Waiting, al-
thOugh I requested her to retire, if sleepy.
I asked, " Has Mrs. C. retired ?” The
servant replied, “ No, sir, she is in the
the kitchen teaching Nancy and Ellen to
read." ,
I toidthe .waiter not to disturb his
mistress, but to wait in the buttery until
I called him.
I then stole quietly dOWn to the kitch-
en, and peeped through the gloss over
the door. The large pine table contain-
ed books, slates, etc.- There sat my wife
between two black females ; one was
reading to her, and the eyes of the other
were gazing on the face of her mistress,
as if she considered her a being from a
better world. .
I returned to the dining-room, rang
the bell, and when the waiter re-appear-
ed I bade him inform his "mistress that I
had arrived. I fear some long word was
left half pronounced, for in less than two
minutes she was in my arms.
“Oh, how good of you to return so
early !” cried she ; “ but why did you i”
Was it not pleasant with your club ?”
"No, my wife," I replied, “ I shall go
to it no more. It answered veryweli
while I had no home of my own; but
now I have a dear, sensible, loving wife,
who is more attractive than all the clubs
in Christendom}! ‘
Mary blushed at the compliment, and
burying her face in my bosom to hide the
tears that would come in spite of
the smile, said, “ May I ever deserve.
such praise and love from~ you, my bus-
band ; when you left me this evening, I
sat one moment on therlounge and shed a

, A Good Letter.
It is a very suggestive fact that the follow-
ing able letter to the New York “ Union mee-
ting,” in response to an invitation to be pres-
cut, from Millard Fillmore, a man whom .no
one accuses of radicalism or sectionalism, was
Nor READ l The managers doubtless thought
such a letter would destroy the harmony of
the occasion. ‘ Will " Union savers” in other
cities please read it?~ Can they peruse it
without "a consciousness that meetings from
which such letters are excluded are not like-
” to do anything but harm, either North or
South ‘2 i . '
The Object of _the New York meeting, as
well as of others got up in pursuance of the
: same Democratic scheme, was to create an
impression in the minds of mauv people that
the Republican party of the North 'sympa-
thized with unlawful assaults upon the system
of slavery, such as that of John Brown; 'This?
slander, Mr. Fillmore emphatically denies.—
lEIe declares that the people of the North are
ready and willing to guarantee to Southern-
ers their constitutional rights, and we all
know that this is the fact But Mr. Fillmore
goes yet further. ' He jushy ascribes all the.
recent agitation of the question of- slavery to
the repeal -of the Missouri Compromise, and
lays the blame fbr any trouble or dificulties
that may arise, just where it belongs—upon
the Democratic party leaders who carried
through that repesl. Nor is this all. Mr
Fillmore shows that the series of outrages in
Iiausas caused the outbreak in Virginia, and
that therefore the repealers of the Compro-
n xse are the men who are responsible for the
foray oiJohu Brown—that-this was but one
of themsny plagues that have issued from
this Pandora’s box—the repeal of the time
honored Compromise. In this just and states-
maulike view sensible men of all parties will
coincide. , .
- It is not strange then that the managers of a
meeting got up to favor the sectional views
of the disunion Democracy and to strengthen
the falsehood that the Republicans of the
North are untrue to coastitutioual obligation
should refuse to have such a letter read.—
But any man can see that had their protes-
tions been sincere—had they truly desired to
allay existing excitement and to remove pres
ent difficulties and danger—they would have
regarded this letter as the wisest and best of
the many that were written, and would have
given it the hearty endorsement of the meet-
ing.
The material portions of Mr. Fillmore’s
~ier is as follows :
“ All must remember that in 1849
and ’50, the country was severely agita-
ted on this disturbing question of slavery.
That contest grew out of the acquisition
of new territory from Mexico, and a con-
test between the North and South as to
.whethcr slavery should be tolerated in_nny
part of that territory. Mixed up with
this was a claim‘ on the part of the slave-
holdiug States that the provision of the
Constitution for the rendition of fugitives
.from service should. be made available,us
the law of 1793 on the subject, which de-
pended chiefly on State officers for its
execution, had become inoperative, be-
cause State ofiicers wore not obliged to
perform that duty. '
After a severe struggle, which threat-
ened the integrity of the Union, Congress
finally passed laws settling these ques-
tions ; and the Government and the peo-
ple for a. time seemed to acquiesce in
that compromise as a final settlement of
this exciting question ; and it is to -be
exceedingly regretted that mistaken am-
bition or the hope of promoting party
triumph should have tempted any one to
raise this question again. .But in an evil
hour this Pandora’s box of slavery ‘was
again Opened by what I conceive to be
an unjustifiable attempt to force slavery
into Kansas by a repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, and the flood of evils now
swelling and threatening to overthrow
the Constitution and sweep away the
foundation of the government. itself, and
deluge this land with fraternal blood,
may all be traced to thisunfortuuate act
Whatever might have been the motive,
few , acts have cvgr been so barren of
good and so fruitful of evil. The cen-
test has exasperated the public mind,
North and South and engendered feel-
ings of distrust, and I may say hate, that
'I fear it will take years to wear away.
The lamentable tragedy at Harper's
Ferry is clearly traceable to this unfortu-
nate controversy about slavery in Kansas
and while the chief actor in this Cl‘llllllllll.
invasion has exhibited- some traits of
customer that challenge our admiration,
yet his fanatical Zeal seems to have blind-
ed his moral perceptions and hurrpd bun
into an unlawful attack upon the lvrs'Ql
a peaceful and unofi’enuiug community
in a sister State, with the evident inten.
tion of raising 'a servile insurrection,
which no one can contemplate without
horror ; and few, I believe a very few,
can be found so indifferent to the conse-
quences of his acts or so blinded by fu-
nntical zeal, as not to believe that he
justly suffered the penalty of the law
which he violated. I cannot but hOpc
that the fate ofJohn Brown and his as-
sociates will deter all others from any
unlawful attempt._'to interfere in the du-
mestic adults of a sister State. But this
tragedy has now closed and Virginia has
vindicated the supremacy of her law and
Shown that she is competent to manage
'her own affairs and protect . her own
rights. And thanks to an overruling
Providence, this question about slavery
in Kansas is now also settled in favor of
Freedom. The North has triumphed,
and having triumphed, let. her by her
maguanimity and generosity to her
Southern brethern show that the contest
on her part was one of principle and not
of personal hatred or the low ambition of
a sectional triumph.
Finally, if I had the power to speak
to them, I would say to my brethren of
the South : ‘ Be not alarmed, for there
are few, very few, at the North I who
would justify in any manner an attack
upon the institutions of the South Which
are guaranteed by the Constitution. \Vc
are all anti-slavery in sentiment, but we
know that we have nothing to do with
it in the several States and we do not m~
tend to interefere with it.

“let-
