S.io was very pale, but there was a
1 jok of resolution in the eye, mid a de-
terminatiOn to express her feelings
tritli bwcwluiiv though tlie effort cost her
lile.'
I stood irresolute, not knowing how
to net.' Sh<j Weht on ¡ " My own feel-
..ngi ot self-respect will not allow uw;
to submit any longer t« Mrs. Latimer's
insolent patronage ; and, if my husband
is unwiliin£ to uphold the dignity oi
his wife, she must do it herself. Mrs.
Latimer's friendship gives me no hap-
piness—it degrades and ' mortifies me.
1 -cannot live in duplicity, and I shall
visit her no more." -i • «d'i
Ho turned to me appoalihgly ¡ " Miss
Danv'c'rs, is nor this cruel and unjust t
Mrs. Ij timer' has been one of my best
I'rimids ; and my wife's unreasonably
dislike places me in tho most unhappy
position."
None could be uioi;e trying than mine
own, just then ; yet 1.,spoke candidly,
though trriolly : i.''M cannot blame Mrs.
.•Mauglin. She acta as 1 should under

knows this to be my opinion."
I. I tinned to go. Itose was wcoping
bitterly, and Harry fooangry to speak.
lAs 1 passed through tile lawn, however,
i was glad to.see that he was sitting on
the sofa, his1 arms around her, and she
weeping ort' his bouom.
Yet he was there !."
1 returned home, tlió Latiuicirs went
aibroad,' and Harry Vaughn was lelt
alone with his young wile. It was tlie
happiest period of her .brief life. His
was one of. those gentle, sympathetic
natures that find happiness in whatever
circumstances surround ttiem. Ho as-
simulated in ta^t^ foeljing, and habits
toHhose with whom lie was in d!wly
intercourse, and was influenced by their
individuality—-a beautiful charaotor to
live with, but not oué tó appeal to in
any .moment of emergency, or when the
soul is perplexed by tlie weight ot life,

contrast site presented to his own lym-
phatic fcelrtg, had so marvellous a
charm, that he lost his own identify in
dnjombiit of her piquant manner, in ad-
miration of her uncommon qualities. >
Their child was born during the surrt-
iner—the little rosebud that sheds grace
and beftuty over my solitary life ; and
Harry's letters to mo were filH of hope
aud happiucss. " Huso was doing so
well ; and the child, libe all first chil-
dren, the loveliest thipé in life."
By and by, however^, tkíe néws wa's
less hopeful : "«he recovered so slow-
ly. Woulfl 1 come and pay them a
visit f' He thought my bresenco would
cheer and enliven them both."
Hé was sitting in the room when 1
arrived, holding in hiii arms, with art
awwkard, hallH-'nibarrassed mantifr,

pleased to call "Ms child." She was
framing on. luith with a h/ok of happi-
Cs ; bat eh how fearfully changed
appeared since last I saw her 1—1
painful to witness,
Did I really think there Was danger?
Was there anything left undone ? He
would have the best physicians up from

Alas, earthly skill was unavailing I
«hall never forget the day she diod.
It was of those lovely Oetoiler
days, so ¿nil .^nd balmy, with so bine
a sl;y, With rifí'o íí."di there a white
olotid floatlng lazilyftirav, tíí«t one felt
mero existence was perfect enjoyment.
The windows were all ojien, and the
room Was filled with the faint odor Of
autttmn flowers, dying like herself.:
She had appeared so much better and
brighter;- the day before, that we hoped
she mipht still rally. Alas, it was only,
tlio fitful sparkle, the last flash, before
tho flame went out I As usual, she
had been taken but of bed and placed
upon the couch by th« open window.—
It had .boon her wont to lie here for
hours,looking at the swaying bruñeres
of tlie chesnut, now graoeful with its
drooping flowers,, and watchiug the
pigpons flitting about in their pensive,
poiseless manner.
I never knew the thoughts that pass-

She was very fsilm, only beggitjg thótil,

He promised her, Wit wifli sricli

Prospectus of the" Svlamagaikda " tt Every
body' Paper.
It hftS"heretofore been deemed an inv-
possibility to pnbBsh -a papor 'that
would suit every one. WoHatter onr-
solves however that we have solVed tlie
problem and "squared tho «rolo" i the
following way : One side of the "Sala,
magnnda" will ho devoted to heart
rending storifis, sentimental versas, and
dioico literature generally^ spiced with
an occasional "double entendre" or
racy" anecdote considerably tinged
with, but redeemed from vulgarity by
the happy manner in which they are
told—aud if this, together with plates
of the latest fasliions ''a la Godey" does
not secure the* patronage of tlio fairer
portion of the community, we shall for-
ever after doubt " that a dime is good
fer a horseoakc."
Another side of the Salamagunda shall
bo devoted solely to politics of the ultra
Democratic order, wilt laud Buchanan
and Breckonridgo—pitch into tariff and
secession—defend the "peculiar institu-
tion of slavery"'—free trade and equal
rights, with an occasional flourish in
blank verse in praise of " America the
asylum of the oppressed of every land."
It will hold Know Nothiiigism and all
tlie other isms up to sCorn and ridicule,
defend the character of the Pope even
to his "infallibility," congratulate tlie
country at large upon the influx of fer-
uign population, and prove conclusively
by iialittiu and figurtt the great ad-
vantages that have resulted therefrom
Every "leader*' on this side of the papei
shall glow with the true spirit of nomo-
cracy, and not one article shall bo ad-
mitted into its columns, that does not
contain open abuse of, or covert satire
upon the wilolm Know Nothing party,
upon the worldly principle nnivertally
recognised that wo should ajways sc-
Oeleiate the pace of any unfortunate d—I
— going down hill by a vigóreos impulse
frOiq behind—upon this side ahio we
will now and then modestly advocate
our Own capabilities to fill some ' fet-
eign mission or our fitness at leftst for
tlio appointment of charge' to the
"Hoodoo Island," and if ail this should
fall to secure the patronage of thé
"great unterrifled," all we have got t->
say is " that tho times are wofnlly oát
of joint."

degree abroad, __
We will prove from all The "abridge-
rnents " of history aud other veracious
records, that despotism and Popery have
always gone hand in hand—that the
Iriah are only fit to make bulls and dig
ditches—that the Dutch aro only fit to
smoke pipes and devour "saur kraut"-—
in a word, that " none but Amwdoans
are hi to rule America." Tho balance
of this pago (originally intended for the
advocacy of Know Nothiiigism) will he
devoted exclusively to tho extension of
the principles and glorification of the
party yclepvd Black Republican, wi)l
Krove conclusively from the writings ef
uffoon and other great naturalists,
that the descendants of Ham are far
superior mentally and physically to the
Angola Saxon race, and that it is far
better that our glorious Union should
be dissolved—tho whole country devas-
tated by fire and the «word, jliat thou-
sand and tons of thousands of orphans
and widows should mourn, than that
slavery should Continue to exist as a
biut upon our political escutcheon I We
will prove this to be a "self evident fact*
principally of course by argumenta
drawn from Northern Journals with
which wo intend to exchange. We will
laud northern Industry and enterprise to
the skies, and (on this sheet of the pa-
per) draw' inVitiuons comparisons be-
tween the bard working meohaa'c of
the "land-of steady habits,'' and the ef-
feminate planter of the South, lolling
back upon his Sofa fanned by DinM
and Chloa, and smoking tlie uvomatio
weed of the Cuban Isles. And. here w«
may as well sfcy that we shall boldly
advocate the annexation of Cnba on
every side of the "Salamagunda," prin-
cipally upon the grounds that we, as
TK5P-wT.ÍÍK
advocate the docfrirte of annexation
generally, because we believe it to be
a popular one, more especially since an
many old bachelors of late, and some of
our highest dignatories have practically
shown they are in favor of it.
Tho chief merit of the "S^lamagwnda*
as we opine will consist in the tact that
no matter what assertion or statement
may be found upon one side of the pa-
per, will be flatty contradicted some
where upon the other sidos, so that the
reader having all the bearings
to his
the bearin;
question presented at once
of a
mind
will be at liberty to foj-m his own con-
elusions according to lus prejudices and
pro-conceived notions. Tho assertion
on one side of the paper will invariably
bo accompanied by the denial an the
other.
The"8ulafnagnnda" will discuss "men
nnd measures" without fear or favor,
but whether ih praise or censure wilt
depend entirely upon what side of the
papo; the article may appear.
The suipcription price of the Salama-
gunda will bo three fourths less than
that «f Journals of similar sise he., but
we confidently anticipate an increase of
circulation in the samo proportion. It
will be issued weekly, and will be
edited wholly by d—Is, So that it will
bo useless for any one to take exception
to any thing personal therein, as no one
will l>o responsible. Wbenover any one
with a blood thirsty look, and a bowie
knife, cowhide or revolver in bis hand,
enters the "sanctum" tho d—Is will
rrifxMstly withdraw, and a feroeeoue
bitll dog, always in a state of incipient
hydrophobia, will bo let loose—and
which ever comes off best wont matter
much to the proprietors of the "Salama-
rovided no type ahonM be
"knocked into pi" during the scuffle.
Our mottos shall be " two sido* ta
every question," and " every thing to
every body."
Newspapers throughout the country

ism of Black Republicanism will pleaie
copv and forward their accounts to the
"Dead I*ttef Post Office," as by so doing
they Will probably reach tholr ultimate
dceitination nooocr than if piwitHiiily

We have said enough we think to
give tho public an idea of the plan np-
on which wo propose to publish ti
Salamagunda nnd will conclude with an
appropriate verso from the great Aboli-
tion Poet of the North.
