Lanoastek, January, 18.33. •«» THE TWO MOTTOES. In the coach-ofSue ai Cernay,stood two young men, who had juat taken their places for Kay- Beraberg. They were of the sarao age^ach about fiiur-aDd-tweniy ; but there were remark¬ able differences in iheir phyfiiognomy and general appearance. Tho shorter ofthe iwo web dark, pale, quick in his movemems, and ot an impaiien '*vaciiy of manner, rfhich betrayed, at a firs^ glance his souihern origin. His companion, on the conrrnry, lall, fair, and ruddy, was a perfect type ofihai mixed Alsatian race, in which French expanaiveness is happily blended wiih German good-humour. On the ground at their feet Were two email porimanicaus, upon which cards of address v/ere lasientd with seajing-was. On one ofthese cards was inscribed— He.vry Fobti.v, Marseilles ; and al its four cornera a seal had impreBsed upon the wax the mono jMoji Droit. (.My Right.) On the other card was written— Joseph Mulzen, Strasburg ; and the moito ofthe aeal was Caritas, (Charity.) The office-keeper had entered their names in hia book, and added the words with two portman¬ teaus, when Henry demanded that these should be weighed. They would be weighed at Kay- sersberg, the office-keeper replied. The young man eaid it would be inconvenient to be delayed by thai formality at the moment of ihoir arrival. Il was his right, he maintained, to have ihem weighed at once. The office-keeper, thus hard pressed, grew obstinate in his turn. In vnin did Joseph interfere, and remind Henry that they had barely time to dine hefore departure. In virtue of his motto, the Marseilleee never gave way when he thought he was in the right; and he alwaya ihought that. At laatiheoffice-keep- er, weary ofihe dispute, beat a retreat, and es¬ caped into his dweJIing-housc. Henry would have continued iho discussion wiih tho Borler. but fortunately the porter spoke nothing but German. So he was lain to accompany his friend to the inn, venting upon him by the way lhe superabundance ofhis ill-humour. " By heavena I" he exclaimed, as soon as they were ia the sireet, "you would make a saint 1 swear ! What! you would not back me ogainst | that obstinate fellow!" ^ i *• It seems tome," replied Joaeph, wjth a' smile, " tbat it was raiher he who was in want ofa backer: you brought forward as formidable an array of arguments as ifyour fortune or your honor had been nt stake !" "In your opinion, then, I ahould have done batter not to defend my right?" " When the right is not worth defeDding." "Ah, how like you !" interrupted Henry warmly; *'yoa are always ready to yield.: one muat be walking over your body before you think of defending yourself. Instead of considering the world aa a baitle-field, you lake it lo be a drawing-room forthe interchange of courtesies." '¦ Not 80," replied Joseph, " but a great ship, all the passengera by which owe each other re¬ ciprocal friendlineea and toleration. Every raan is my friend until he has declared himself my enemy." " For my part I consider every man my ene¬ my until he has declared himself my friend," replied the Marseillese. "It is a prudent sys¬ tem, which X have always found anawer, and I advise you to adopt it at Kayaersberg. Tbere we ahall find ourselves faco to face with our uncle's other heirs, who will not fail to appro priaie all they can of the inheritance. For my part, I am determined to concede noihing to them." Thua conversing, the couains reached the White Horse Inn, and entered the public dinSng^ room, which was unoccupied, savo by tho host eaa, who was layinfi, for three persons only, a large table at one end of the apartment. Henry ordered two more knives and forks lo be laid for himaelf and Joseph. "I beg your pardon, air," said tho woman, " but you cannot dine here." " Why sol" inquired lhe youngman. " Because the three peraons for whom we havejust laid thia table deaire to dine alone." •'Let them dine in their own room, theo," replied Henry abruptly. "This is the public room and the public lable; here every traveller haa a right to enter and lo dine." " What matter," said Joseph, " whether we dine here or in another room V '* And what doea it matter to those three per¬ sons whether wc dino here or not?" retorted Henry. "They came beiore you, sir," objected, the hosteaa. ".Then, in your inn, it is the first comers who lay down lhe law?" cried Henry. ibai, lhey are persons whom we foand quitd'^^rtatM^iij but iMr. Rbs^iaa.

" I was juat thinking so," replied Henry quick¬ ly, taking np hia hat. And, without listening to Joseph, who tried to detain him, ho darted out oflhe room, and disappeared. Mulzen knew by eiperience that tha boat phin, in cases like lho present, waa to let hia cousin's ill.humoar bum iuelf out, and lhat any altempt lo recall him to re'ason oerred only to aggravate his pngnacily. He resolved, iherefoie, to let him seek his dinner olsewhero, and or¬ dered hia own to be served up in an adjoining apariment But just as he was about adjourning room.

I would give a year ol my life that our journey were at an end." ; " Fortunately the bargain ia impossible !" cried the young girl ainiiing and kissing her aunt. " Yes, yes, you laugh at my troubles,*' said Misa Charlotte, in a half grumbling, baif;afiec- tionate tono ; "young girls, now«a-doyB,-fear noihifig ! They travel by railw»y and ateam¬ boat—they would travel by balloons, if lhey could get places. It is the Revolution that has made them so bold. Before that the bravest amongst them traveled only in carts, or on ass- back ; and even then, ooly when they had pres- amg business. I have heard my poor moiher say that she never would travel in any other way thanon foot." " Yes," observed Mr. Roaman, "and there¬ fore, her farthest journey was only to the chief of her canton." * Thst did not prevent her being a worthy and happy woman," replied Miss Charlotte.— "When the bird haa built his nest, ho slays there. Tho present custom of passing one's time upon the high-road, impairs one's love of: home and iamily ; people get a habit of being at home everywhere. It may be more advanta¬ geous lo Bociety at large, bul it renders indi¬ viduals leas good and lesa happy." " Come, come, Charlotte," said Mr. Rosman, gaily; yoor late joltlog has set you againai all journeys, bm I hope yonr disconient will disap pear before this excellent soup, I appeal to your impartiality wheiher a hetter can be got, even at Fontaine." The dialogue continued in this strain of afiec¬ tionate familiarity. Joseph at first maintained a discreet silence, but Mr. Roaman apoke to him several times, and conversaiion had become gen¬ eral, when the waiter came in to say ibat iho diligence was about starting. They paid for their dinner, and hastened to the coacb office. Oa arriving ihere, Joseph sow his cousin hur¬ rying up. Whilst Mulzen had dined. Henry had run from one tavern to anoiher, finding no¬ thing ready at any ofthem, and at last, pressed for time, he had been fain to buy a roll and sorae fruit, which he ate as he ran. As may bo imagined, ihe frugal repast had done little to sweeten his temper. Joseph ob¬ served this, and abstained irom queationmg him. Indeed he had no time, for the way-bill waa al¬ ready being called over, and the travellers were about to take their places, when the office-keep¬ er discovered lhat he had made a miatake, had booked two persons too many, and that ihu coach waa full without Mulzen and Fonin. " Full!" cried. Henry ; but I paid you my faro !" 1 " I will return it you, sir," replied ihe clerk. | "Not at all," answered the young man.— j "Having once taken my money, there ia a con- ' tract hetween us. I have a right to a place, and aplace I will have," And so sl^ng, he grasped a strap and ascen¬ ded the imperial, whore waa a place as yet un" filled. The traveller to whom it belonged pro- tested against ihis usurpation ; but Henry per¬ sisted, declaring that none had a'right lo make him get down, and lhat if any attempted it, he would repel violence by violence. Joseph in vain attempted to compromiso the matier; the Marseillese, whose humor hod bcenby no means mended by his bad dinner, persisted in bla rea- olutiou. " To every ono hia right," cried be ; "lhat is my motto. Your's is 'Charity.' Be os charita¬ ble as you please : for roy part, I am satisfied with justice. I bave paid for this placo ; it be¬ longs to me. I shnll keep it." The traveller whoae place he filled, objected his priority of possession ; but Henry who was lawyer, replied by quotations from the code. There was a sharp interchange of violent expla¬ nations, recriminations, and menaces. Miss Charlotte, wbo hecrd everything from herplace; in the coupe, groaned and aighed her alarm, and recommenced hor diEftribes against travelling in general, and public vehicles in particular. At last Joseph, perceiving that lho dispuie became more and more envenomed, proposed to the of¬ fice-keeper to have a horse put to a cabriolet which stood in tho yard, and in which ho and the disposseseed traveller would coniinue ibeir journey. The expedient was adopted by the parties concerned, and the diligence set off". It was inthe month of November; the air, damp and chilly at the moment of departure, grew colder etill as night approached. Henry Fortln, accustomed to the sun of Provence, waa anything but comfortable in his exposed place upon the top of lhe diligence. In vain did he bution his great-coat to the very chin ; he shiv¬ ered like a leaf in lhe frigid evening fog. His lips were blue, his leeth chattered ! Soon a' small icy rain, driven full in his face by the wind penetrated his clothes. His neighbor, protected by an ample blanket-cloak, might easily have spared him a portion of it, and been no worse off himself; but the neighbor wss a corpulent shopkeeper, very tender of nis own person, and extremely careless of the comfort ot others.— When Fortin refused to give up the place of which he had taken posscaaion, the fat man ap-i plauded, declaring that "every one travelled lor his own account, and should look after his own interests ;" principles which the young man then found perfectly reasonable, and from whose application he now suffered. About the middle of the journey, the stout traveller put hia head out ofhis cloak, looked athis neighbor, and said— " You seem very cold, sir 7" I am wei to lhe skin," replied Foriin, who could hardly speak. Tbe tat man shook himselfin his huge wrap¬ per, as if iotensely enjoying the warmih and dryness it secured him. It is very bad for the health to get wet," said he philosophically, "Another time I ad¬ vise you to_ bring a cloak like mine ; it is very warm, and not dear." Having given this sensible advice, he with¬ drew his comfortable countenance wiihin his anug .garment, and relapsed imo a luxurious doze. It waa long after nightfall whon tho diligence;! arrived at Kayseraburg. Half dead with cold> I Fortin scrambled down from theroof, and sought refuge in the inn-Kitchen, where a large firo blazed. On eniering,'he found a group of trav¬ ellers already assembled round the cheerful hearth, and amongst them, to his surprise, were his cousin and the traveller whom he had de¬ prived of his placo. The cabriolet had taken them by a cross road, which was a short cut.and they had been an hour at the inn. On remarking his cousin's deplorable plight, Mulzen at once gave up his chair to him as for the iravoller whom Fortin had dispossess¬ ed at Cernay, ho could not restrain a hearty laugh; "Upon my word 1,'* ho cried, "I must thank ihis gentleman for having driven me from the imperial of the diligence; for, had he not done BO, I ahould now be wot and hali frozen as he is, instead of being warm and comfortable as I am." Fortin'a position was altogether too bad to admit of a retort ; he eat down before the fire and tried to warm.himBelf. As aoon as he was a litlie revived, fae aaked for a room and a bed ; but tho Kaysersberg fair waa only jusi over, and the inn waa full of per BODS who were to leave next morning. Joseph and his companion, although they had arrived before,the diUgence, had found but one small bed vacant; which the former had generously given up to.the latier. However, after mach mquiry,and,inveatigation, it came out ihat there waa another bed disengaged ; but this stood in a room with four otheraj occupied by four ped¬ lars, who refused to' admit a. strangsr into the apflrtment_. .'.':- "Did they engage the room for themselves alone f" inquired Fortin.^ '*By ao nieaiu," replied the ibn-keeper. "Then yoa have a right .to dispose of the un¬ occupied bed I" "Undoubtedly." , ''Theo wb«, reasons do thJsy^give for refusing' to Bdmit;a fifth perMn lato ^e^ro^ ¦ : ¦ ', }ds3f^ag:U}\amif and^no^iudp^c&rod .to:i]^BTe a qouretwitliUum.V .. - :; ^ ."That IB weakbes's/* cried he.

"Does their brutality entitle them to a make us ait up all night ?" sharply demanded the na- .tive of MraaeiUea. 'ANo, pardieu I I will go to bed in apite of them,".. He-put on his traveliiog cap, and waa leaving the room in company with the innkeeper, when Mr. Rosman, who, whilst seeking a man to car¬ ry his baggage, had overheard the conversationi approached the twb cousins. "I perceive, gentlemen," said he, with his friendly, smilling air, "lhat you have difficulty in finding beds for to-oight." "Ishall not he long without one." replied Henry, passing on. " One moment," said Mr. Rosman. " Those men'will perhaps reply to your reasons with in¬ sults, and you may have difficulty in getting them to admit your right. Had you not bettor accept beds at my house, gentlemen 1 I live but a few yards off, and shall havo great pleas-' ure in receiving you." Fortin and Mulzen bowed, and returned their thanks for this hospitable invitation—but jn verv different tones. That of Mulzen was gratefuj and joyous; tbatofhis companion constrained^ although politu. Henry bad not yet forgotten that Mr. Rosman was the primary cause of the meagreness of his dinner at Cernay. "You are loo obliging, sir," said he, softening hia voice; "but I would not on any accotm^ occaaion you so much trouble. Itis well, be¬ sides, to give a lesson to these people, and to respect the right of travellera." Having thus spoken, he again bowed, and be¬ took himselt to the apartment occupied by the pedlars. Mulzen, fearing a quarrel, followed him ; but whether it was that the hawkera did not care much about the matter, or tbat they were daKnied by the Provencal's resolute mien' lhey contented themselves with a little grumb¬ ling, in spite of which Henry ineialled himself in lhe fifih bed. His coi'sin, relieved of his ap prehensions, then re-deecended the stairs end joined Mr. Rosman, who had been so obliging as to wait for him. Miss Charlotte and her niece Louisa were pre¬ paring the tea before a crackling fire of fir-cones Mulzeo's guide spoke a few words in a low voice to the two ladies, who received iho young man wilh courieoua kindness. They made him sit down at table, and Louisa filled the cups. As lo Mias Charlotte, she had not yet recovered from the fatigue of her journey ; seated in her arm-chair, she fancied she still felt ihejoli 'meaiiingfa|6tild^i> ailen to search for the clothea dfthe'unfortunate wo-1 sued.'.

Now, he had not had occasion to wet himself where the body was found; for the water was there two feet below. the rock upon which it waa discovered. There was a coroner's inquMt—how managed we know, not; certainly the circumstance reflecia very little credit upon the corener or the jury.who invesiigaied the cise,-7butby 8omehoi:uB-pocus or another, a verdict of "Accidental death" was returned. Poor Mrs. Kirwan was buried in' the cemetery at Glasnevin, iii the wettest place that could be selected, - so that the body was so de¬ composed,' even iu the short time that had elaps¬ ed since he'r niurder, that medical testimony could scarcely be bronght to bear upon the case, Bul the circumstantial evidence was too strong.

The caae oi Mrs. Kirwan will retain a powerful notoriety even in the dismal annsla of Irish crime. the dilligence, and heard the rattle of the wheels in the singing of the kettle. She did not forget, however, to inquire what had become of tbe young man who had carried the imperial of the dilligence by assault at Cernay, and Mr. Rosman related what had just occurred at the inn. "Bleas me!" cried Miss Charlotte, "he pos¬ ses his lifo in search of quarrels and litigation ! He Is a man to be avoided like a pestilence f" " It is impossible to have a beiter heart or moro upright character," replied Mulzen ; " hut he makes a point of acting up to his motto : To every one his rights.** 'Whereas your motto is Charity." rejoined the old lady wilh a smile. " Oh ! I overheard all lhat passed at Cernay." "You travel togelher ?" inquired Mr. Ros¬ man. " We are cousins," replied Mulzen, " and we have come to Kayseraberg to bc present at the opening of a will, which takes place to-mor¬ row." " A will !" repealed Miss Charlotte,in atone of surprise. "Tho will of our uncle, Doctor Harver." Thc two ladiea ond Mr. Rosman looked at each other. " Ah ! you are the doctor's relatives V eaid Mr. Rosman, gazing at tbe young men wiih a certain degree of interest. " Chance could hardly have directed you better, sir, for I was his oldest and most intimate friend, Thia sort of mutual recognition nalurally led 'the conversation to the aubject of the deceased doctor. Mulzen had never seen him, but he felt for him that sort of respectful regard which in* stinct establishes between membersof the same family. He talked along time of the doctor; listened wiih interest to details ol bjs life and of his last moments; and at last, after one of those intimaie conversations in which heart and mind throw off disguiee, and diaplay themselves as they really aro, he retired to bed, delighted with his boats, who, on their part, were equally pleased with him. Tired with hia journey, it wos Iato when he awoke next mornmg. He hastened lo dreas himaelf, in order to seek his cousin whom he was to accompany to tbe notary with wbom the will was deposited^ But on going down into the breakfast room he found the notary there, with Mr. Roaman and with Fortin, lor whora a mes¬ senger had been sent. Miss Charlotte and Lou¬ isa toon appeared. When all were easembled, Mr. Rosman tamed to the two young men, and said, wilh a smile: All here present are interested in the mat' ter which brings you to Kaysersberg, gentlemen; for my sister-in-law, Miss Charlotte Revel, and her niece, Louisa Armand, wbose guardian I am, have come hither, like yourselvea, to wit nesa the opening of tho will of their brother and uncle. Dr. Harver.' The two young men bowed to Miss Charlotte and Miss Louiaa, who reiurned their salutation. I Since accident has brought togelher all the parties conceraed," continued Mr. Rosman, I thought the doctor's last wishes might be made public here as well aa at the notary's of- i fice." Fortin made a sign of assent. Everybody sat down, and tbo noiary was about to break the seal ol the will, wben he checked bimself. This will," he said, " is of old date,and during the latier moniha of his life, Dr. Harvei told me several times that it was hia intention to destroy it, so that each of hia heirs might re¬ ceive the share regulated by law. Tho non-ex¬ ecution of his intention I can explain only by the suddenness of bia death. 1 deem it my du¬ ty to declare this ; and now I ask all the inter¬ ested persona hero present wheiher ihey are dis¬ posed to fulfill the doctor's expresaei intention, and to cancel this will wilh one consent, before any know whom the document enriches." This unexpected proposal waa followed by a pause of some moments' duration. Mulzen was the firat to break silence. *' As far as I ara concerned," said he, raod- eatly, "having no particular ,claim-upon the good will oflhe deceased. I cannot consider that I make a sacrifice in agreeing loan equal division of the property, andl am quile willing to consent to it." "For my port," said Miss Charlotte, "I make no objection whatever." "Inthe name of my ward," said Mr. Ros¬ man, "Igive my consent." " Then,^'siiid the notary, turning to Henry, there is only ihis gentleman .... .". Fortin seemed somewhat embarrassed. " Like my cousin," he at last said, " I have no ground to expect thai the will favour me, but thatia the very reason why I ehould be guarded in my decision. Whatever may have been the doctor's intentions, his will alone can now be conaidered to express tbem; to neutral¬ ize beforehand his testamentary dispositions, ia to infringe both on the rights of the will and,on] those of the unknown legatee." ' : *' Let US say no more about' it," ¦inien-upted the notary. ** Proinpt and "¦perfect- unaninuty could alone make legitimate my proposition.— Let us remain within the Btrict'limits of legal right—as yoa, Bir, propose; and now-be pleased to listen." , ..':": With these'words he tore the o|ivielopa, open- ed tho will, and read as follows:— .

The trial of Mr. Kirwin, at Dublin, for the murdnr ofhis wife on the 6th of September laat haa terminated in a conviction. Tho wretched man has received sentence ol doath, and the presiding Judges held out no hope of mercy, aa the evidence was ofso conclusive a nature as to leave no doubt upoti their minds of bia guilt. The case is o curious one, not only from the re¬ spectable position in life occupied by the parties to the tragical occurrence, but from the manner and the spot in which the crime was corried into effect. Ail persona who have visited Dublin muat be familiar with the appearance of a little rocky islet which Is situated at about the dis¬ tance ofa mile from Howth, and which is point¬ ed out to the traveller aa ''Ireland's Eye." It is a wild spot enough, and ia seldom visiied but by an artist m search of the piciuresquo, or by an occasional party of merrymakers, who would find additional freshness in a summer's after¬ noon. Such is the apot which will henceforth have gained additional notoriety aa tha scene of one ofthe most hideous murders recorded in the annalsof our criminal courts.? .The only parallel to the case in modem times wbich occurs very readily to oor recollection ia that of the Duke ot Praslin, which shed so lurid a light over the cloaing scene of Louis Philippe's reign. In that case, aa in the one before us, it was the husband who murdered his wife. Nor does a certain analogy fail even in the minor details of | the case. In the Parisian, and in the Dublin iragedy, it is evident enough that the lawless' attachment of the husband to a woman not his wife led to tbe conception, and finally to ihe completion, of the bloody act. In both cases the unfortunate ladies appear to have struggled for some time against the violence of that bond which should have shielded them from aUharm. In both casea a chain of circumstantial evidence led to the conviction of the murderer's guilt. One {loint, indeed, of difference exists between these two inslonces of unbridled passion and lerocity ; ihe Duke de FrasHn died by his own hand in prison, Mr. Kirwan will no doubt expi¬ ate his crime upon the public scaffold. The story appears to be briefly this : William Burke Kirwan is about 45 yeara of age. He was married some twelve yeara back to a very beautiful young woman, with whom It would not aeem as ihough he had lived on terms' from lhe first; nor, from the circumstances of the case, can we well come to any other conclu¬ sion than that the fault lay on lho husband's side. From the firsl hour of his union with hia wife^ Maria Kirwan. he lived with another woman, Theresa Kenny, by whom he had a family of eight children. The strangest feature perhaps, in the whole story is, lhat during the whole' of these twelve years neither of the two women bad the slightest idea that sho had a rival,—nor, in¬ deed, was Mrs. Kirwan aware oftbis fact until about six monihs back. It may well be:sup¬ posed how the embarrassments Inseparable from such a situation would embitter the feelinga and infiuence the conduct of Kirwan towards that one oftbe two women who did not stand tbe highest in his favor. That woman wos his wife But when the atory had reached her ears, and she had apoken and acted as women will act and speak in such situations, Kirwan's feeling to¬ warda her appears to have been converted into mere ferocity. This being ihe posilion of Mr. and Mrs. Kirwan, in ihe month of June last they went to lodge at Howth for change of air, and from lhe first, accordmg to the testimony of the woman at whose house ihey lodged, Kir¬ wan's conduct to hia wife was brutal in the ex¬ treme. Thus matters wont on until Sunday,the Sth of September; on Tuesday, the 7th, they, were to have reiurned to Dublin. On lhe Sun¬ day evening Kirwan went down to two boatmen, Patrick N angle and Michael Nangle, and en-i gaged them to carry him and his wife over the ! next day to "Ireland's Eye." Whether or no the awful purpose which he finally carried into eflect was then preaent to his mind it ia not for UB tosay,bui it cerlainly would appearas though the desire to get rid of his wife in some way or other had been long present to hia mind. On Monday, about 10 o'clock, the unfortunate lody and her murderer went down to the boat. They had a bag and two botlles of water with ihem. Mrs. Kirwan, besides, had a reticule, and Kir¬ wan a swobp-camb and sketching-book. The boatmen rowed theni over to the Islet. At about 12 o'clock tbey conveyfid a second party across, whoni they brought back at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. By tbat parly, and by the boatmen, Mra. Kirwan was seen alive at the hour named, when she desired the men to come back for faer husband and herself at 8 o'clock in the evening. The boat went on ita way. At about 7 o*clock cries were heard from "Ireland's Eyo" as of a person in distress. Not only were these cries heard upon tbo mainland, but by the crew of a boat which waa returning from fishing. At tbis time Kirwan and hia wife were the only people 00 the laland. According to orders, the boat¬ men returned at 8 o'clock, when they found the hnsband aUmding alone at the landing place. In reply to their inquiries, Kirwan elated that his wifehad, left, him about an hour and a half befqreT-and.baknew not what had become of her. ' The party then proceeded to find the lady, and contiouei iheir aearch until they arrived at a.'plece called the "Long-hole." which is out of sight of Howth Harbor., This apot,la. always covered with water" when the tide ia in, but un¬ covered when the tide is out. Upon a rock in this'apot the desd body of Mrs. Kirwan "was found at 10 o'clock. The incident is thus de¬ scribed by" the boatmen:—"Her bathing dress •was tip ¦tinder hbr armsi' arid thore' was' a sheet •underher; herliead waa lyfng back in a hole, 'and her feet we're ina pool of water about the 'lull of my hat—about half a gallon.'

Mrs. Morgan's husband was an excellent work¬ man, and had the best ot wages, but he would drink, and like moat men of hi6 claes when in liquor, generally beat his children aud someiimcH his wife. Mrs. Morgan waa a noble woman and loved her husband in epite of all, but after years of patience ond forbearance, ehe came to tho con¬ clusion that Jimmy Morgan, as she called him, should atop diink wheiher or no. In other words, she would manufacture a private Maine Law ofl her own. The occosion was on one day when Jimmy came home to dinner, balf tipsy, wbich always happened when he atopped at the tavern on his woy, and he did thia on an average about twice a week. "Now you Morgan," said she, as soon as ho entered, "you've been at the whiskey bottle again. You needn't deny it, for I know it by your looka. And by your breath, too—go away you nasty beast—how dore you try to kiss ime when you've been drinking?" Jimmy had assayed this matrimonial caress, hoping it might conciliate the good wife, but finding his purpose foiled, he atood upon his dignity. "Holty toity," said he, "how you put on airs; give us some dinner, and don't sulk." Mrs. Morgan did not often get roused, but she was now. She put her arms akimbo, and an¬ swered— "Not a mouthful of dinner do you get in this houae to-day, nor any other day, till you come home sober. So the sooner you ore off tho belter." The half iipsy huaband looked at herin amaze¬ ment. For a moment he thought of enforcing hia wHI, as he had often done before, but wheth¬ er ho had not drank quite enough to arouse his courage, or wheiher ihe blazing eyea of hia helpmate frightened him, he turned, after a liule hesitation and left the house. Ofcourse he went straight to tho tavern, aa Mrs. Morgan raiher expected he would. And ofcourse when night ci^ne, fas woe led home thoroughly inebriated, as she rather wished he would be. Ho hed just sufficient reason left to wonder at the extraordinary care with v/hich hia wife, after assisting him to undress, lacked hira in bed.— But this like everylhing eke, waa soon forgotten in a stupid sleep. I 1 She waited until Boilsfied thot he waa entirely Insensible, when she proceeded to sew the offen-' der up In sheets, exactly as if he had been a mummy. Tho sliiches were not email, but ahe knew they were taken wilfa treble thread, and they would hold, especially as he could now neiiher use hands nor arms. Once or twice he grunted, as if he was about to awake, but ehe stopped a moment at snch a time. At mat the proceeding waa completed. And now ahe brought forth a large cart whip which she had borrowed that afternoon from a neigh¬ bor. Now, Jimmy Morgan," said she, apostro¬ phizing him, "I'll cure you ofyour beastly hab- its.or—pleasa God—I'll whip you till you'll be aore for a month. Down came Ifae lash, aa vigorously as her brawny hand could lay It on; again, again, and yet again, and yet it seemed as ifshe was never going lo stop. And very soon tfae offender roused from fais stupor, saw wfaat il was, and began to beg for mercy. "Not lill you have promised me to leave off drinking," was the answer, and the blows de¬ scending more vigorously than ever. "Oh! you'll kill me, you'll kill me—" "No it will do you good. To think how drunk you were ten minutes ago, and now to see you rolling ahout so lively—never tell me« Jimmy Morgan, that I am killing you after that." "Mercy, mercy, mercy," roared the criminal. How can you, Polly, uae your husband so?" "I can and will," and another shower of blows descended. *'HolIoo as much as you pleaae, for it will do yoH good; oi.ly I can tell you one thing, it will not rouse tho neighbors. I told them what I was going to do if you ever came home drunk again. Havo you hod enough yet ? Will you promise at once, or are you going to hold out still? "Ofa, ofa.oht" groaned tfae faelpless husband, twisting and turning in every direction, but un¬ able 10 eacape thc cataract of blows. "Will you promise? You'd belter do it quick," reaumed his inexorable spouse, "or I will beat you intoa jelly. Tbese six years I've borne your drunkenness, but I'll bear it no longer, I've tried coaxing and I've tried everytfaing, and now I am trying wfaipping. You've beaten me often enough,and I'm paying you back. Promise me at once, the quicker tfae better, tbr I'll not let you up till you do, even ifit keepa me here all night, and il you're sick for a year after¬ wards." It waa a good while before the criminal gave in. He thought his wife would lire out at laat, bul when the castigator had proceeded for some lime, and ho saw no symptoms of either fatigue or relenting, he waa compelled to succumb. "I'llswear, I'll swear," eaid he at last, "I'll do anything; only let me up. That's a dear good Polly. Oh! Lord, don't whip me any more, for I've said I'd swear. Oh!" Mra. Morgan gave him three or four sound cuts more, to "make assurance doubly sure." before ahe administered, the.oalh, whicfa she did at last, with the Bible in faer handa, completing tfae ceremony by making him kiss the book. From tbat momeni Jimmy Morgan was never known to taate liquor. He told his neighbora that he had been so sick after hia last spree ths^ he had resolved to join the temperance society; but he did not tetl.ihem what had made him iU. Mrs. Morgan, too, kept the Becret, nursing him Ihrough his bruises, which were neither few nor slight,' However, aa she said-tp.herseir,. "des perate diseases require desperate remedie8,"and so she never repented of -the thcdicine ehe had administered, even though her huaband did not earn a dollar for three weeks* A word more and tfae tale is told. Perhaps other wives'might work ciires as miraculous if they would try Mra- Mohgxk's Mains Law. ..Irethey'f Suppose you, ar,d a certain pair of blue eyes, that you would give balf your pat¬ rimony to win, were joint ^proprietors of that baby ? 1 shouldn't dare to stand very near you, and call it" ahuisanco."

POLITERESS BET^IM BeOTHEBS AND SiSTEES. —By endeayortng to acquire the habitof polite-: ness, itwillsoon become familiar, and sit on I you with ease, if not,wiih elegance. Let it never he forgotten that genuino politeness is a , great fosterer of family love ; it allays accidental irri¬ tation, by preventing harsh retorts and rude coDiradictiona ; it softens ibe boiaterouS, slim ulates the indolent, suppresses Bslfishness, and by forming a habit ofconslderaiion lor olhera, hormonizeg the whole. Polltenegs begets po; liieneaa.and brothers may be easily won by it, to leave off the rude ways they briog bome from acfaool or college. Slaters ought never to re¬ ceive ony little attention without thanking tfaem for it—never to ask a favor of tfa^m but In courteous terms, never to reply lo their ques. tions in monosyllables, and they will soon be ashamed lo do such thinga themEelves. Buth precept and example ought to be laid under contribution, to convince them that no one con have really good manners abroad, who is not ha¬ bitually polite at home. \.- Didn't Reao the Papers.—In one of our churches, yeaterday, an incident occurred, some- wfaai out oflhe usual line of devotional proceed¬ ings. An old lady from the counlry was listen¬ ing with great atlention to a sermon on the death of St. Stephe^. by the paaior, who woa more than usually eloquent. At the end of theaermon, the old lady Inquired of faer next neighbor, "Who ia that he saya was stoned to death ?" "St. Stephen." waa the reply. "You don't say Why we never heard a word of ifaat before; but.we live in ifae country, and don't take tbe papers, and tho half of the world migfat be dead before we'd hear it. Wa3 it In New York ii happened?—there's auch rowdies ihere !" She went faome, deiermined to read tha papera, par¬ tioularly tfae deatfas and marriagea.—Eagle 22(2.

Through airy fielda eubUme ; What power melds in harmonj
BimeDBioQB v&ii. as thine.
What dark, dtep, and unmeaaurM eh&iOi
What sacred spell profound; Control** thee in obedience
Wilhin.thy circled ronodl There is a band—thai gaidea unwen
Through starry wastea thy way; There is a law—divine eupreme—
Thy ponderouB realmi obey.
There is au ejo—that never sleeps,
A voioQ—in sorrow's hour, A faith—that heals the wounded heart,
And reora.the broken flower. 'Tia He—who chains tby swelling aurg*
Upon tho Ocean strand. And holds thy stormy waters in
The hollow ofhia band.
'•~' At his command, thy yearly round Hi" For a?P6 thon- hast roU'd; t-.-. Through endless space's uniathom d void, Midst kindred worlds untold. Relentless Time's destroying wave, |
0*er thoe has passed in vain; Protected by his mighty arm Thou jonrncy'flt still the same.
Though Tast, thine nli ia naught withiu
The great celestial band; Of syBtema upon systems
Wnich move at his command. Thou art but a pilgrim lonely
On deeert sands of lime , With Qoisclesa footsteps wandering
Towarda the distant shrine.
What then! if thon art hnt a speck
Witbin creation'aplan. What then! ambition's prondeat boaat;
What life! what mortal maul A thread that snapswithiQ the hand—
A foot-print on tbo sea— A falling leaf—by ocean's wavo

THE TWO MOTTOES.
In the coach-ofSue ai Cernay,stood two young men, who had juat taken their places for Kay- Beraberg. They were of the sarao age^ach about fiiur-aDd-tweniy ; but there were remark¬ able differences in iheir phyfiiognomy and general appearance. Tho shorter ofthe iwo web dark, pale, quick in his movemems, and ot an impaiien '*vaciiy of manner, rfhich betrayed, at a firs^ glance his souihern origin. His companion, on the conrrnry, lall, fair, and ruddy, was a perfect type ofihai mixed Alsatian race, in which French expanaiveness is happily blended wiih German good-humour. On the ground at their feet Were two email porimanicaus, upon which cards of address v/ere lasientd with seajing-was. On one ofthese cards was inscribed—
He.vry Fobti.v, Marseilles ; and al its four cornera a seal had impreBsed upon the wax the mono jMoji Droit. (.My Right.) On the other card was written—
Joseph Mulzen, Strasburg ; and the moito ofthe aeal was Caritas, (Charity.) The office-keeper had entered their names in hia book, and added the words with two portman¬ teaus, when Henry demanded that these should be weighed. They would be weighed at Kay- sersberg, the office-keeper replied. The young man eaid it would be inconvenient to be delayed by thai formality at the moment of ihoir arrival. Il was his right, he maintained, to have ihem weighed at once. The office-keeper, thus hard pressed, grew obstinate in his turn. In vnin did Joseph interfere, and remind Henry that they had barely time to dine hefore departure. In virtue of his motto, the Marseilleee never gave way when he thought he was in the right; and he alwaya ihought that. At laatiheoffice-keep- er, weary ofihe dispute, beat a retreat, and es¬ caped into his dweJIing-housc. Henry would have continued iho discussion wiih tho Borler. but fortunately the porter spoke nothing but German. So he was lain to accompany his friend to the inn, venting upon him by the way lhe superabundance ofhis ill-humour.
" By heavena I" he exclaimed, as soon as they were ia the sireet, "you would make a saint 1 swear ! What! you would not back me ogainst | that obstinate fellow!" ^ i
*• It seems tome," replied Joaeph, wjth a' smile, " tbat it was raiher he who was in want ofa backer: you brought forward as formidable an array of arguments as ifyour fortune or your honor had been nt stake !"
"In your opinion, then, I ahould have done batter not to defend my right?"
" When the right is not worth defeDding." "Ah, how like you !" interrupted Henry warmly; *'yoa are always ready to yield.: one muat be walking over your body before you think of defending yourself. Instead of considering the world aa a baitle-field, you lake it lo be a drawing-room forthe interchange of courtesies." '¦ Not 80," replied Joseph, " but a great ship, all the passengera by which owe each other re¬ ciprocal friendlineea and toleration. Every raan is my friend until he has declared himself my enemy."
" For my part I consider every man my ene¬ my until he has declared himself my friend," replied the Marseillese. "It is a prudent sys¬ tem, which X have always found anawer, and I advise you to adopt it at Kayaersberg. Tbere we ahall find ourselves faco to face with our uncle's other heirs, who will not fail to appro priaie all they can of the inheritance. For my part, I am determined to concede noihing to them."
Thua conversing, the couains reached the White Horse Inn, and entered the public dinSng^ room, which was unoccupied, savo by tho host eaa, who was layinfi, for three persons only, a large table at one end of the apartment. Henry ordered two more knives and forks lo be laid for himaelf and Joseph.
"I beg your pardon, air," said tho woman, " but you cannot dine here." " Why sol" inquired lhe youngman. " Because the three peraons for whom we havejust laid thia table deaire to dine alone."
•'Let them dine in their own room, theo," replied Henry abruptly. "This is the public room and the public lable; here every traveller haa a right to enter and lo dine."
" What matter," said Joseph, " whether we dine here or in another room V
'* And what doea it matter to those three per¬ sons whether wc dino here or not?" retorted Henry.
"They came beiore you, sir," objected, the hosteaa.
".Then, in your inn, it is the first comers who lay down lhe law?" cried Henry.

"All other travellers must Bubmit to their caprices?"
" Your dinner shall be kid eliewhere "
"Yes, with the broken moat from your fa¬ vourites' tablo, I supposo ?"
The hostess waa hurl by this imputalion upon faer establishment.
'•If thegenlleman is afraid of getting a bad dmner at the While Horse, there are other inns at Cernay." said she.
" I was juat thinking so," replied Henry quick¬ ly, taking np hia hat. And, without listening to Joseph, who tried to detain him, ho darted out oflhe room, and disappeared.
Mulzen knew by eiperience that tha boat phin, in cases like lho present, waa to let hia cousin's ill.humoar bum iuelf out, and lhat any altempt lo recall him to re'ason oerred only to aggravate his pngnacily. He resolved, iherefoie, to let him seek his dinner olsewhero, and or¬ dered hia own to be served up in an adjoining apariment But just as he was about adjourning
