There in an angel over-near, When toil and trouble vex and try, That bids our fainting heart* take cheer, ByaofWyf." the old navigator. Nearly seventy vears had passed nwav, and yet tho memory of his childlove was still tho grccft spot in his heart. lie and Margaret met hattwiccnftcrwards. He dwelt most on tho first of those meetings. Twas traveling, he said. ■■ in ftcoitfinU,- wiicn tho coach stopped to take up a passenffljr.— The moment the door oponeJ, I knew hw at once,,but—sho didna remembor me;" he sighed as he said this. "Then," ho continued, I told her who I was, and reminded her of old times, thirty years before, and of that story of the ink-bottle and the beating sho hail got for my sake. Sho had almost forgotten it but I nover had." Margaret, tho mother of a largo fumily, is now an aged woman, and probably thought little of Johnie Ross after narting with him in childhood ; while he, liternljy vovnging from pole to pole, and having but a passing glimpse of her from time to time, may lie said to have carried tho memory of his child-lovo to hU grave. edits malignant, influence to deepen his natural shyness into a positive and habitual sclfbanishmoat froin his fellow-men. Such is the sad interpretation I put upon lib career." except in the capacity of w'taoCs of his happiness. This, jou will observe, in in the order of nature, and in the recognised fitness of things ( mid he hopes you will see it—and so do I. And he trusts you will sleep well under his (and my) new rojf—and so do I. And he wishes you good night—and so do I." Many, many years have passed since I first learned these truths; but I can never forget the pang that it cost mo to get them by heart at a moment's notice. My old friend lives still—that is to say, I have an intimate acquaintance, who asks me to all his dingers, and who made mo god father to one of his children ; but tho brother of my love, who died to mo on the day that I paid him the marriago visit, has never como back to me since that time. On the altar at which we two onco sacrificed, tho ashes lie cold. 'A roodel husband and father has risen from them, ~li)£d that result is, I suppose, the only one that any third person has a right to expect. It may bo so; but, to this day, I cannot help, thinking that the beautilul woman would have done better if «lio could have made a fond husband without at the same time marring a good friend. Headers will, I am afraid, not bo wanting, who will be inclinod to tell mo that the lady to whom I have lieon referring, only assorted the fair privilogo that was hers by right of marriago; and that my sense of injury springs from the unjustiSable caprice and touchy selfishness of an old bachelor. Without attempting to defend myself, I may at least be ullowcclto inquire into the lady's motive for using her privilege—or, in plainer terms, for altering the reasons in which my friend and I had stood towards one another since Loyhood. Her idea, I presumed to have been, th.it if I preserved my old footiug with hor hi.a'jand, I should be taking away some part of his affection that belonged to hor. According to my idea of it, she was taking away something which had belonged to me, and which no effort on her part could afterwards com ore to her own use. It is hard to make some wo.nen understand that a husband's heart—let him be ever so devoted and afTectionato—has vacant places in it which they can pever hope to till. It is a houno in which they and tliiir children, naturally and properly,ocuupy all the largest apartments and supply all the prettiest furniture ; but there aro spare rooms which they cannot enter, whieh aro reserved all through the lease of llfo for inevitable guests of some sort from the world outside. It is letter to lpt in the old friead than some of the substituted visitors, who are sure, sooner or later, to ontfc'r where thero are rooms ready for them, by means of pass-keys obtained without the perl mission of the permnnont tenants. Am - wrong in making such assertions ai thoe ? I should bo willing enough to think it probable —being only a bachelor—it my vtawfe were based on mere theory. But my opinions, suoh as they are, have been forrnou with tho holp of proofs and facts. I have mot with bright examples of wives who have strengthened their husband's friendships as they never co'd have boon strengthened oxcept under the influence of a woman's care, employed on the truest, the tendered, the most dolicate way. 'I have seen men rescued from the bad habits of half a lifetime by tho luck of keeping faithful friends who were the husbands of sensible wives. It is a very trite and truo remark that the deadliest enmities have been occasioned hy women. It is not less certain—though it is a far less widely aCv»pted truth—that some of the strongest friendships have boon more closely knit by woman's helping-hand. The real fact seemed to be, that the general idea of the scope and purpose of the Institution of Marriage is a miserably narrow one, The same senseless prejudice which led some people, when driven ti? extremes, to the practical confession (though it may not be made in plain words,) that they would rather sec murder committed under their own eyes, than approve of any project for obtaining n law of divorce which shall bo equal it itsopcr a ion on husbands and wives of all ranks, who cannot live together, is answerable alsi. fiirthc mischievous erior in principle of narrowing the practice of tho Bocial virtues, ir married people, to themselves and their children. I man loves his wife—which is, in other words, loving himself—and loves hisoff spring, which is equivalent to saying that h( has tho natural instincts of humanity ; and when he has gone thus far, he has assorted himself as u model of all the virtues of life, ir the estimation of some people. In my estimation, ho has only begun with the best vir tuos, and has others yet to practice before hC can approach to tho standard of a socially Can there bo a lower idea o Marriage than the idea which makes it, ii fact, an institution for the dovelopement o selfishness on a largo and respectable scalo ! If I am not justified in usingthe word selfish ness, tell 1110 what character a good husbani' presents (viewed plainly as a uian) when lu goes out into tho world, leaving all his sympathies in his wife's boudoir, and all his affee tions up-stairs in tbC#nursory, and giving t( his friends such shrods and patches of forum recognition, in place of true love and regard as cC a-ist in asking them tD an occasiona i i iner-party, and granting thdm tho privilogo of presenting his children with silvei mugs? lie is a model of a husband, the lndiei will say.

BOLD WORDS BY A BACHELOR. We liear it nt our mother's knee; With tender smile and love-lit oye She grants some boon on childish pica. In these soft accents—" Bv-and-by." It occurs to me that, whilo jjreat stress is laid in ordinary books and ordinary talk ou D the personal inlerost which a man has himself, and on the family Interest which his near , relations have also, in his marrying an affectionate and sensible womnn, sufficient importance has not been attached to the interest of another sort, which tho tried and worthy friends of his bachelor days ought to feel, and for tho most part, do feel, in his getting a good wife. It really and truly depends upon her, in most cases than I should liko to enumerate, whether her husband's friendships are to bo continued, aftor his marriage, in nil : their integrity, or aro only to be maintained us a mere social form. It is har.lly necessary | for mo to repeat—but I will do so, in order to A avoid tho slightest chance of misconstrue ti in i —that I am hero speaking only of the wort hi- I c.»t, tho truest, the long-tried friends of n man's bachelor duys. Towards these every sensible married women feels, as I believe, that sho owes n duty for her husband's sake. ■But, unfortunately, there aro such female phenomena in the world as fond wivos and i devoted mothers, who aro anything rather , sensiblo women the moment they are requiri od to step out of the sphore of their conjugal and maternal instincts. Women of this sort I have an unreasonable jealously of their liusi bands in small things; and on the misuse of I their influence to serve tho interests of that jealous, lies but two ofton tho responsibility of severing such friendships as nDD man can hope to form for ihe second time in the course of his lifo. By the severing of friendships, I do hot mean the breaking otT of all inteicourse, but th«s fatal changing of tho torms on which a man lives with his friend—the casting of the lirst slight shadow which alters the IihHc of the whole prospect. It is astonishing by what a multitude of slight threads the firm continuity of brotherly regard Is maintained. Many a womun has sanpped asunder all the finer ligiaments which oncn connected her husband and his friend ; aud has thought it enough jf sho left tho two still attached by the coarsor ties which are at the common disp sal of all the world. Many a woman— delicate,affectionate, and kind within hor own narrow limits—ha* committed that heavy social offence, and has novcr felt afterwards a single pang of pity or remorse. These bold words will be unpopular enough I ain afraid, with certain readers ; but I am an old bachelor, and I must have license to speak tho whole truth. I respect and admire a good husband and father, but I cannot shake off tho equally sincere revorence that I feel for a good friend; and I Biust be allowed to tell some married ladies—what Society ought to tell them a little oftoner—that there aro other affections, in this world, which arc noble and honorable, besides those of conjugal origin. It may bo an assertion of a very shocking and unexpected kind, but I must nevertheless be excused for saying, that some of the best wivos and mothers ill tho land has given tho heart-ache to some (K the best friends. While they have been behaving like patterns of conjugal propi iety, they have been estranging men who would once have gone to the world's end to serve each other. I, as n single man, can tay nothing of tho dreadful wrench—not the least dreadful because it is inevitable—when a father and mother lose a daughter, in order that a lover-may g:iin a wife. But I can speak freely of tho shock of losing a dear friend, in order that a bride may gain a de'votcd husband. Nothingshall ever persuade me (possibly because I am not married) that there is not a flaw of some sort in the love for a wife which is made complete, in some people's eyes, by farced contributions from tho love which belongs to a friend. I know that a man and woman who make a happy marriage have gained the summit of earthly felicity ; but have thov never reached that enviable cmincuce, without having trampled under foot something venerable, or something tender by the way? Bare with me, indignant wivos—boar with me, if I recall the long-past time when one of the handsomest woman I ever saw, took my dearest friend away from me, and destroyed, in one short day, the whole pleasant edifice that wo two had been building up together .since wo were boys at school. I snail never bo as fond of any human being again, as I was of that ono friend, and, unti 1 the beautiful woman camo between us, I believe there was nothing in this world that ho would not have sacrificed and have donft for mo. Even while ho was courting, I kept my hold ou him. Against opposition on the part of his bride and ber family, ho stipulated bra\ely that I should bo his (jest man on tho wedding-day. The beautiful woman grudge mo my one small corner in his heart, oveu at that time, but he was true to me—he persisted—and I was the first to shake hands with him when he was a married man. I had no suspicion then that I was to lose him from that moment. I only discovered the truth when I went to pay my first visit to tho bride and bridegroom at their abode in tho country. Ifuuud a beautiful house, exquisitely kept from top to bottom; I found a hearty welcome; I found a good dinner and an airy bedroom; 1 found a pattern husband and a pattern wife : the one thing I did not find was my old friend. Something stood up in his clothes, slyxik hands with mo, pressed wine on me .called rae by my Chriftinn name, and inquired what I was doing in my profession. it was certainly something K .a; h .1 a trick of locking like my former comrade and brother ; something that nobody in my situation could have coinpluincd of with the smallest reason ; something with all the brightness of tho old ring; som etliing, in short, which made me instinctively Jake my chamber-cnndle-stick early on the first night of my arrival, and say good-night, whde the beautiful woman and pattern wife was present to keop her eye on me. Can I ever forget the language of that eye on that occasion I the volumes it spoke in ono glance of cruel triumph 1 " Xo mora sacred secrets Uotweeti you two , " it said brightly. "When you trust him now, you must trust me. ?ou may sacrifice yoursalf for your love of him over and over again.still, but he shall make no sacrifices now for you' until he has first found out how they affect my oonvenieuco and my pleasure.

I lay down the pen, suggesting to some ladies—afiectionately suggesting. if they will lot me uso the woid, after some of the bold things I have said—that it is in their power to deprive the bachelor of the sole he has left to social recognition and preeminence, by making married men what many of them are, and what more might be— the best nnd truest friends that are to be found in UDe world.
