I never get a cup of lea or colfee, sweet enough for my taste." " You must have a sweet palate. I am sure ii is like syrup, for I put in several large lumps of super," replied Margaret in a slightly offended tone. " Taste it, will you said Canning, pushing his cup across the table with an impatient air. Margaret sipped a little from the spoon, and then with an expression of disgust in her face, said— " Bah ! I'd as lief drink so much molasses. But here's the sugar bowl. Sweeten it to your taste." Canning helped himself to more sugar. As he did so his wife noticed that his hand slightly trembled, and also that his brow was drawn, and his lipa more arched than usual. " It's a little matter to get angry about," she thought to herself. " Things are coming to a pretty pass if I'm not allowed to speak." The meal was finished in silence. Margaret felt in no humor to break the oppressive reserve although she would have been glad indeed to have heard a pleasant word from the lips of her husbands As for Canning, he permitted himself to brood over the words and manner of his Wife until he became exceedingly fretted. The etening passed unsociably. But morning found them in a better state of mind.— Sleep has a wonderful power in restoring to the mind its lost balance, and in calming down our blinding passions. Duriug the day, our thoughts and feelings, according with our natural state, are more or less marked by the disturbances that selfish purposes ever bring; but in sleep, while the mind rests and our governing ends lie dormant, we come into purer spiritual associations, and the soul as well as the body receives a healthier tone. The morning, therefore, found Canning and his wife in a better state of mind.—' They were as kind and affectionate as usual in their words and conduct, although, when they sat down to the breakfast-table, they each experienced a slight degree of coldness on being reminded too sensibly of the occurrence of the previous evening.— Margaret thought she would be sure to please her husband In his coffee, and therefore put into his cup an extra quantity of sugar, making it so sweet that he could with difficulty swallow it. But a too vivid recollection of what had taken place the night before caused him to be silent about it. The second cup was still sweeter.— Canning managed to sip about one third of this but his stomach refused to take any more. Noticing that her husband's coffee, an article of which she was very fond, stood, nearly cup-full, beside his plate, after he had finished his breakfast, Margaret said— There Were little things in eaoh other that each wished the other would correct, but neither felt the necessity of self-correction* The birth of a child drew them together at a time when there was some danger of a serious rupture. Dear little Lillian, or " Lilly," as she was called, was a chord of love to bind them in a closer union. " i love you more than ever, Maggy," Canning could not help saying to hia wife, as he kissed first her Hps and then the soft cheek of his child' a month after the babe was born. " And I am sure I love you better than I did, ifthat were possible," returned  gar»t, looking into her husband's face with a glance of deep affection. As the babe grew older the parents, love for it continued to increase, and, with thia increase, their happiness. Tt» chord which had several times jsArtd harshly be* f twecn them, slept in profr Dd peaoe.

All at once shouts and cries of indignation were heard on the outside :— Two men carrying a basket had stopped before the shop, which opens on the square, and set it down. After a pause of a few minutes, they went away leaving it.— "their dress was not exactly ihe same as that of the peasants who display in that spot baskets of vegetables and fruits ; and they accordingly excited the attention of a peace officer on duty It is probable, however, that he would not have seriously occupied himself with them, if, fortunately, he had not seen it faint light in the basket.

" Not if both you and James learn to bear and forbear in your conduct toward each other." THEODORE VON DER LIPPE, House, Sign and Ornamental Painter. Not many years ago, a young lad, ihe sou of a poor farmer, living near Crich Church, fancied or rather dreamed, thnt if he would go up to London, by way of Lon don Bridge, he would (ind a fortune.— Now, London was a great way from Crich Church, especially to a poor lad, ignorant of geography and travel, and living in an age before railroads. So lid put the strange dream from his mind ; yet again and again it returned, until the poor lad became so excited that he could no longer delay visiting London. But he told no one of his dream, nor of bis intention to go to London, for he well knew every one would ridicule the dream, and hib father would prohibit him from visiting London ou so foolish an errand. So ho kept his own secret and counsel, and, early one pleasant morning, set out on his adventure. It was a weary long way, but he footed it bravely, only resting by day to eat the simple meal of bread and cheese be had provi. ded in bis small pack, and resting by night wherever road.-ide shelter offered.

More earnestly than ever, the ladies now appeared to enter upon the various themes for conversation that presented themselves, all of which were very frivolous to the mind of Canning, who was exceedingly dialed by his wife's indifference to his suggestion about going home. He determined, however, to say no more if she sat all night Toward eleven o'clock she made a movement to depart, and after lingering in the parlor before she went up stairs to put on her things, and in the chamber after her things were on, and on the stairs, in the passage, and at the door, she finally took the arm of her husband and started for home. Not a word was uttered by either until they had walked the distance of two squares, when Margaret, una* ble to keep back what she wanted to say, any longer, spoke thus : " James, I will thank you another tims, when we are spending an evening out, not to suggest as publicly as you did to-night, that it ia time to go home.

Foreman's Hotel, present BOOTS, MIS iLiMirai8a, FRESH AIR. James Canning was a young lawyer of some talent, and the possessor of a good income independent of his profession. Like others, he had his excellencies and his defects of character. Naturally, he was of a proud, impatient spirit, and from a child, had been restless under dictation. As an offset to this, he was a man of strict integrity, generous in his feelings, and possessed of a warm heart. Aunt Hannah also had known him since he was a boy, and understood his character thoroughly ; and it was this knowledge that caused her to feel some concern for the future happiness of her niece, as well as to speak to her timely words of caution. . But these words were not understood. PITTSTON, PA August 10, 1850.—tf. Gentlemen and Ladies, open your windows—let in the fresh air. Light, physical or moral, is not more essential to vision than air is to health and happiness.— Yet how caretul are most of us to exclude it! You close up the windows, nail list around the doors, and appear to do all in your power to exclude Heaven's free gift of fresh air ; and the reason why people are not smothered is, that the air is so subile it will work its way through every little crevice, so that it is almost impossible to get it shut out altogether. But, if people do not get themselves quite suffocated, they continue to get pale, stupid, nervous, and heavy-headed for want of pure air which is so anxious to force itself into their rooms, but which they contrive to keep barred out. What would you think of a man coming down the river on a raft who would get a little basin of water and keep it for weeks to wash himself every day, when the broad river was running level with his feet 1 You would say he was a fool.

I wish every one of you knew what a enrious piece of machinery your lungs and heart are, and how well the atmosphere is adapted to our use. If you are afraid to have the fresh air blow upon you while you are asleep, break a pane of glass out of the top of the window until you get used to fresh air, and then a stream of it hard enough to blow the quilts off the bed M ill not hurt you.

By dint of persevering inquiry, he found the bridgp, determined to cross the Thames in no other way. Once on the bridge, he looked on every side, but no fortune appeared. He only saw crowds ol people going to and fro, never minding him.

Not one syllable did he utter during their walk, although his wife said much to irritate rather than soothe him.— Nor did a sentence pass his lips that night. At the breakfast table the next morning, the husband and wife were coldly polite to each other. When the meal was completed, Canning retired to his office, and his wife sought her chamber to weep. Th» latter half repented of what she had done, but her contrition was not hearty enough to prompt her to a confession of her fault. The fact that she oonsidered her husband to blame, stood in the way of this.

Only a month or two passed before there was another slight collision. It made them both more unhappy than they had been befoie. But this trifling breach was quickly healed.

The dreamer caught a sudden light from litis confession, and, without more ado, bidding the stranger-boy good bye, strode back for Chuckstone Cross, which was near by iiis father's house, " for," said he to himself" perhaps this is the fortune I was to find on London Bridge." Hope made his feet light, and he was soon at Chuckstone Cross. When night came and all was still, he crept from his bed, in his father's house, and stealing out slyly to the cross, he fell to work, removing the stone and digging up the hard earth. It was not long before he struck upon something chinky, and directly out came a bag of gold pieces, in all many thousand pounds. THE SWEARER AND HIS BOY A man in the State of New York, who was extremely addicted lo profane swearing, was one day at work with a yoke of oxen near his house. The oxen not working to suit him, he began whipping them severely, at the same time uttering volleys of most blasphemous oaths. The oxen breaking loose from their burden, ran to the house, while the owner in a passion pursued them, and coming up with them at the bouse, began whipping them again, and swearing aa before. His little boy, at this time just old enough to begin to talk, began to prattle bis profane oaths after him. No sooner did the father hear this, than his feelings were wrought up to a lively sensibility. He paused for a moment, dropped his whip, sat down and wopt bitterly. A flood of keen reflections at once rushed uron his convicted conscience, which produced such an effect that he found no rest in his mind until his sins were forgiven. LOOK TO YOUR INTERESTS !
