There was an ardor about the young lover that showed how deeply bis heart was inter- cstt d, and his betrothed might also te said to live only in his prcseuce. He flew to her fiuc, liKe steel to the magnet, wbeu evening set bim free from business ; and f he awaited bis certain coming with a trembling joy that It i t. question of economy," said Wil pervaded her whole being. The days were i Hams. long that kept them apart ; but lightning- j If tha. ;, all, the question may as well footed the hours of evening. How eagerly ef p," replir d his wife, almost indifferently ; they looked fornard to that blessed time, !" for it costs quite as much to live in a first when they would bear the wrd spoktu class hotel or boardiug-house as in your own .uti, nnc i ui g c iiitm uue, auu iub i i hi e enme at la-t, though with alow-pacing steps. Hand in band, and heart beating to heart, tnrv entered a new pain ot He. carpeted with floner.s, aud moved onward with tpring ing feet, that took their measure to love's i delicious mu.-ic. Swiftly passed the firat season of their tie txi.itence. It was the warm, fragrant blossoming spring-tiuic, aud the sunshine filled the air with verual warmth. " Shall we ever grow cold to each other?" said the young man. lcauing towiwds hi bride, and speaking iu a tone of peculiar tenderness. This was occasioned by the fesrncc, in a small company, of a married couple, not two years wedded, who were known to have lost much of love's young ardor. Their in difference was so apparent, as to have be come a sul jeet of remark with their friends and acquaintances. "Never, Leonard, nevr!'' was almost tremulously whispered bacV. " Tat is im possible! Those who truly lore, love on for ever." "And with us it is true," said the bus band. " True, warm, eternal love." And each believed it was so. Let us fol low tin in a little way on their life journey Leonard Williams was a young, ambitious merchant, who ai trying, unwisely, to do a lan-e bu-iness on a small capital; and Leonard W illinms anil his wife were a young i couple who thought rather more of making an appeararcc in the social world than was consistent ilh their means and prospects. He had ton lart a Mora and too many goods in it; and they lived in too large a house, with too much furniture in it. A tranquil spirit is not possible under such circum-tances. Overwearying mental labor aud absorbing care mu-t attend them. It has ever been so it was so with Leonard Williams. Kveu beforo the waning of the first year, his brow began to wear a shadow, and bis eyes to bare an absent expression. There was a fainting warmth in bis manner towards his bride (bat chilled her heart at times, as if cold airs had blown upon it sud denly. She was too young, inexprricuced, und too ignorant of the world to comprehend thfl causes that are at work, undermining, daily, tho foundation of their happiuess. She ouly felt that her husband was chang ing;, thti warmth was diminishing, and the cloud and the shadow coming ia the place of sunshine. Daily and weekly and monthly the change went on he getting more and more absorb ed iu busiuess, and she Cuding a certain poor compensation for heart-weariness ia dress, gay company, pleasure and fashion able dissipation. The coldness of feeling, as well as of exterior, was mutual. A few years longer, and all the littie tender cour tesies that marked their intercourse, when alone, failed utterly. Williams would meet his wife, oo his daily return from busiuess, ftiihout a changing couijteiiot.ee or tender word; and she met hiui at evening, aud parted with him on each succeeding morning, with au air of indifference that iced over the surface of his feelings. And so the years went on ; ho struggling ' and striving with the world in the arena of business ; aud she, trying to find in tho un substantial, gilded exterior of things, that pleasure she failed to extract from the real. How like mould ou a rich garment, or rust upon burnished steel, did indifference creep over the pleaf ant surface of their lives, dimming the mutual attraction. Willi nur bal eDort of vlatac'xr, tad Uiu4 tlat found new strngth in diffioulty. A man of feebler intellect, lesa hope, and less supges tioo, starting wrong, a be ld, would bave been driven to the wall in a few yeara. But Williams tliccovered his error in time to prepare Limself fer the impending eonsc quencea. At tbe clone of five yeirj from the day of bia marriage, be rtsolutelj looked nis anairain tbe tace, and aaw that, instead of beinc worth man? thousands of dollars. be was juat on tbe veree of banltrontcv. It took him two years to tet safely past tbe dangers that beset bia way. One cause of bis trouble lay jo tbe extravagance of bia stylo of living. It rather startled him to End, on examining his own private account, that twenty theusand dollars had been drawt for personal eipeoaes. One-balfof that sum, added to bia capital, would bave made all safe. " Tbia will never do," he said to himself. " We are living too extravagantly. There mut-t be a chanjre." But what would his fashionable wife say to this t Would she be willing to civo up ber laeinenauie nonie. ana retire iroui tier irav . DOMtion ? A fctli n? of d ihCOUra reille D t eaine i n e over him as these questions arose in bis mind. " She mut give it op she must retire," he said to himself with some warmth. But he did not wieb to male known tbe fact of bis deep embarrassment ; for be bad no confidence in her nower to rndure reverses. If she sunk down in weak distress, tbe bur dens be bad to bear would be ao much tbe heavier; and they were quite heavy enough already. After viewing the matter en all sides, and pondering it deeply, Williams came to the conclusion that tbe onlv eeonomi- cal change likely to meet his wife's approval, . - -1 -. . . .1 t . : a ciiaiii'B ironi mcir own noine to own borne to a fashiouablo boarding house. A close calcu lation satisfied bim, that, to do so. would nnnaal expenses about one thousand dollars. "Anna,'' be said to her one evening, breaking through his cold, ab stracted silence, " we are living at too costly a rate." Mrs. Williams turned her eyes npon his face with the manner of one who bad heard unpleasant words, but did not fully coinpre- bend their meaning. ,, b , , , .

No change in the style or cost of living took place. That heavy burden he had to carry, iu addition to his other heavy bur dens; and it required all his strength. During the to years that elapsed before his feet were on firm ground again, he ap peared to have lost all interest in his home, his wife or his children. Mrs. Williams frequently aaid, lightly, speaking to her friends or acquaintances, that she had no husband now ; Mr. Williams had united hitii self to busiucss iu a secoud marriage. If she f poke thus in his presence, be would part his lips in a forced smile, or, perhaps, say, jocosely, that she had better bave bim be fore the courts for bigamy. Fashion, show, pleasure, filled un all tha time of Mrs. Williams which was not devoted to maternal duties and household cares; Und business was the Moloch at whieli Mr. I ivi.iiams sacnuceu an social ana nome af fections. At forty, with a family of interesting children springing up around them, they wero but coldly toleraut of each other. Never having seen, from the beginning of ! : her married life, any good reason for econo my or self-denial, Mrs. Williams had failed to practice these virtues, but had suffered the opposite vices of extravagance and self indulgence to grow rankly as offensive weeds. Herdemauds upon ber husband's purse had, the re fore, always been large, and they steadi ly increased, until he was learning to hold tbe strings more tightly, and to question and object whenever she made what be thought largo requisitions. Thus, alienations were constantly engendered ; nod, at times, there was strife, between them. Roughness on hi: part, and petulance ou hers, often came iu lo help the work of estrangement. Twenty years of a false life twenty years in which two married partners, warm, and loving at the first, went on steadily growiag cold toward each other through tlie iutcr positiou of sordid aud worldly things twenty years of a borne intercourse but rarely brightened by love's warm sunshine breaking through the leaden clouds of care and folly what a sad heart history is here 1 Aud is it not the history of thousands of over-earnest businessmen, aud their thought less, uusyinpathising wives, who seek outside of hearts and homes what they can never ti iid that tranquility of soul after which all aspire, but to which to few attain? Alas, that it is so ! Ah, that we could write, from henceforth, a better record of Leonard Williams and his wife ! That vrc could tell you, how, growing at last weary of their vain existence, they turned back, othirst for the pure waters whose sweetness had once refreshed them. finding again the fountain of eternal youth ! But it was not so. Habits of thought and feeling were hardened into that second uaturo which is rarely broken up. If, oc casionally, the restless heart returned alonj its life journey, seeking for some of tho lost flowers and vaniahce fragrance. their aweat- i &. r;rxiosl coly as tbo disn delight of a dream; not real enough to inspire an effort to acek restoration. And so tbey moved on in tbe coldness of twilight. Age found bim a sordid, irritable, unhappy man and she a nervous, restless, vain, disap pointed woman. There are such, reader, all around you. But keep your heart warm. Do not fuller it to grow cold towards your wife or hus band. Shut out tbe vain things of the world. ! The home-lores are warmest, tho home- licbts brightest ; and they will grow warmer i and brighter with years, if you feed them with tbe pure oil of unselfish affections. Cal'oiit tub Pasic. A tall, lanV, Je rusalem sort of a fellow, pretty well under tbe influence of Mr. Alcohol, was observed swinging to a lamp post on Fifth street last night. He was talking quite loudly to the aforesaid post, when a guardian of the night approached him. " Come, air, you are making too much said the watchman.

Clrious Physical Phenomenon. .1 Yam's Man struck l)cnf, DmuU '' lSlimt. Ansel Brown, a young man residing in Westerly, R. I., was tbe subject of a curious physical phenomenon a bhort time since.

In a momeut more he lost tho use of his speech, so that by all his endeavors he was abso- : lutcly unable to uller a single sound. j To crown all, his calamities were iucres-ed , by the loss of his sense of hearing, which instantly left him and then he was without tha nower to see his wav. to call for assis- ! tauce, or to evade danger by getting out of the way, not knawing what was next to hap pen. He stood like a stone, till luckily one of his companions, passing that way, saw Brown, and went to speak with him, but ho received no answer. He shook him; he turned him round ; but he neither spoke or opened bis eyes, but poiuted to bis tongue, and anon to his eyes and cars, lie was conveyed to his home.

The treaty recent'y concluded between the Unked State and Nicaragua, if iti terms are correetly utated, amouuts to a qualiGed protectorate by tbe United State of the Nicaraguan Tranit. The treaty pro vides that the United States rosy protect tho Transit a.'nint any interruption front any quarter, foreign or domestic, in caa Nicaragua should lack tho ability or dispo sition to afford such protertion. Under al! ! circumatanecs, therefor.', this important in ter-oceanic communication is to be mado secure and open to the commerce and travel of tho citizens of the Uuited States. This importaut atnp is in conformity with the decli'ation of iha De.ni' ci atio Cuiivcn tion nt Cincinnati in reference to the com munications, between the Atlantic and Pa cific, viz : that the United Htateg has a pre ponderating interest iu regard to them, aud that they should be protected against inter ruption by any power whatever. Aain, this treaty is a decided step to wards tbe establishment of an American policy in regard to this continent. It ia al most the Ort udvanee towards an applica tion of the Monroe doctrine. It is not to bo understood that tie treaty will involve us in the present or futuro wars between tho belligerent little States of (Neu tral America, or nry of their factions; but that while we stand aloof from such com plications, we are to protect and delVnd tho Transit route, and those who rnsy be re cognized as the legal agents for conducting the mails, passengers, Xc, therein. It i" presumed that Cent Rica will s. sent to this treatv, though it is inconsistent with her control of the Transit. It cm- cedes to hor the ri lit of free navigation of tho .'s'an Juan river, which ii iodi-pensihlo to her commerce, and, in common with tbe rest of the world, she will enjoy the privi lege of the Transit without interruption. It removes every cause or pretext th:it she niiirht have for the assumption of a hostile attitude, such as she has lately bld towards I Nicaragua It affords to ber and her neigh bo rsa better opportunity than they bave heretofore bad. siuce their iudepeudencc, r. , , i It is presumed that, inasmuch as the ' British Minister has given his assent to tha ;' arrangement, we shall hear no more of j British intrigues in Costa Rica, or any rtt- : tempt, through that State to f-xrcise a eon. i trt'i;.... tt.ftiion.., to Ctitr-it American af ...,..b iu..r.. ... ........... i fairs.
