One evening Edward Landon returned
from bts busioesa. wearied and harassed in
mind and body by the daily increasing diffi.
cultiea that bung like a storm cloud over all
persons engaged in trader- Stoppage had
occurred in -houses hitherto supposed to
stand so firm as to defy all times, however
unfavorable. MerchanU met as usual, it is
true, on change, but the bustling activity
that formerly characterized such meetings,
was exchanged for suspicious whisperiDgs
and anxiour looks. Confidence between
man and man was shaken, and nothing was
heard but uie cry of " Hard times." Ed
ward returned home on the evening alluded
to, his spirits moro than usually depressed,
which eten the happy home that welcomed
him, the afieclionatt) smiles of his wile, or

ed patiently till tho littlo ones had gone to
bed, and then addressed him
" What ails my husband to.night : what
has happened to make him so dull 1
llcn, have you courage to boar a re-i
verse ot fortune t
" I have courago to bear any thing with
you and for you.
-' uod bless you, dear ono ! - But you
know little of the bitter reality of poverty
" My husband iorgcls Hint it was his
generous lovo that rescued mo from puver
ty."
" Not such poverty, bllen, ns 1 fear you
must now learn to bear. You have never
wanted the comforts and even the elegan
cies of life. You have never lived without
a servant."
But I cm, Edward. Whenever you
tell me that it is .necessary, you shall see
that I can hvo without a servant. Have
no fear for mo ; you know how bravely I
can work. ' Do but explain your difficulties
to me ; let me know all the evil that you
dread : keep back nothing. It is a mista
ken kindness which leads a man, from fear
of giving pain to his wife, to conceal from
ncr, the state of his allairs : or from a want
of confidence in her strength of mind, to
allow her to continue in a course of thought-
less extravagance, which hastens the evils
he would conceal. Many failures might bo
avoided, if men would but bo more com-
municative to their wives, and not keep
every thing locked up within their own bo.
Boms, because ' women don1! understand
such things.' They can learn to under
stand thorn, at any rate : and men would
find their advantage in teaching them. A
true hearted woman hannot but feel inter
ested for her husband. She will gratefully
receive his confidence, and if she does not
at first understand the technicalities of bu
siness, she will have an incentivo to lenrn,
that she may ndviso with her husband upon
what equally concerns both. Upen your
ttcart
to me,-ridwardtellnaall your trou-
Utes, and you shall see how, woman though
be, I will meet them unflinchingly.
" Why, Ellen, you are really eloquent.
You shall know all. I will never kee p any
thing from you. There is a rumor abroad
o( an extensive failure in tho city, which,
if it proves true, will be inevitably followed
by many other. I know that in that case,
Henry's ruin is certain, and my business is
so connected with bis, that mine must
shortly follow. My only hope now is that
tho report may prove false."
"Can Jiothing-be-done I .UannattUe.
warning you have received be turned to ac
count?" No. nothing can bo done, unless I can
rnian n sum of money sufficient to answer
the demands which will bo iinrr.e.uiaieiy

that is impossible." i.
" We can at least reduce our household
expenses, and be prepared for the worsti"
" Well, you understand about tliat Dctter
than I do ; I leave it all to your judgment."
What a blessing jsTgood wife t VV ell
may they be called a crown to their husband.
Edward's heart-seemed lightened of half
its burden, after his conversation with ISIIcn:
A good nights rest restored his usual spirits
and decision of character. Ho left his
borne in the morning, his mind nerved to
meet the difficulties that threatened him,
and to overcome or bear them manfully.
Well for him that he was so prepared, for
he had trials to encounter that called for the
firmness of which he was master. The
report of the preceding day was too soon
confirmed. The distress which ensued may
be imagined. Hundreds whose prospects a
few months before had" been bright, were
involved in utter ruin. Henry's failure, as
Edward anticipated, soon followed, and his
own camo quickly after. So far the situa.
tion of the brothers was similar; their for
tunes lost, their jro8pects darkened ; a like
gloomy fate seemed to hold them in thrall.
But in Edward's heart there was a joy un
known to that of his brother, in the thought
of his wife, his Ellen, who in weal or woe,
he knew would ever smile his welcome
home1. Of her cheerful resignation to
whatever fortune awaited tbem, he was
equally certain, and this assurance kept
alive hope in his soul. 1 Already his fancy
was sketching plans for tlie, tuture, wnen
his brother entered, his pale and haggard
looks proclaimed the warfare within. He
poke as he entered
Oh , Edward, this is dreadful ! v nat
aro we to dot"
"Do! why. as othr men dolevhp are
similarly situated. We have the consola
tion of knowing that no dishonor attaches
to our name. We" are unfortunate; but let
us not despair ; brighter days will come."
" But our families, Edward: 'what will
become of theoi T"
" Why, Henry, this is unlike you. Are
our families the only ones who. amid this
general distress, experience a reverse of
fortune T Cheer up, my brother ; we must,
as the song says, try again.' "
" How can you, Edward, talk so ealmly
upon such a subject 1 I thought you loved
your family."
- "And do I not love thcmT For my
children, I would peril my lifo ; and my
wife, my beautiful devoted Ellen ! Henry,
if you knew the consolation she has afford,
ed me during these trying times the firm
ness, tlie fortitude she has displayed, when
with faltering tongue 1 have told her my
fuars : her generous self-denials. If you
knew my wife, you would not ask if I loved
her." ;
" How tlien can you speak so calmly of
distress, beneath which she may sink 1"
" Because I know that she will not sink
beneath it. I have unbounded confidence
in her. Ydu will see how she will meet
tho distress of which votl sneak. Thoughts
of her children's blighted prospects may
for a moment cause her lip to tremble, and
a tear to dim her eye, but it will be only
for a moment that she will allow regret for
the past to hinder exertion for the future.
Come let us go home."
" 1 cannot co home. Would that 1
could foci tho same confidence in Amelia.
that you do in your wife. I dread seeing
her. I dread tlie burst of grief that will
follow the announcement of our misfortune.
I cannot go home. I cannot hear her re.
proaches."
"Reproaches! sorely, Henry, you do
your wife injustice. She cannot reproach
you for tho misfortunes which you had not
the power to avert. She cannot bo so un
just,' so unfeeling."'
I do not know that it could bo called
unjust. You know Amelia had a handsomo
fortune, from her father. It is but natural
she should feel tho loss."
" Undoubtedly she must feel it, but she
mus' also feel that it is as great to you as to
herself. Moreover no blunio attaches to
you.
Edward's representations were in vain ;
he could not prevail Upon his brother to go
Borne, until he ofTered to accompany him,
and break the intelligence to Amelia. I
will not attempt to describe the scene that
followed her becoming acquainted with her
husband s failure, and loss of property.
She absolutely raved, accused him of swind
ling and robbing her ; called upon him to
restore her fortune, to givo her back her
situation in society ; declared that sho would
not live to bo scorned and mocked at by
her former friends. Henry at first endea
vored to calm her, to represent to her his
own innocence, one would not listen to
him, and finally wearied and despairing, he
seated himself, and bore in silence the-itu-
pc ration WUII wnicn sue luaueu mm.
Edward turned with pity and disgust from
the scene, and hastened to his own home.
There all was peace. Though tho whole
world was dark and the horizon black with
gathering clouds, there shone within his
quiet homo the undying light of affbeticn.
" Ellen Had heard the oao news ociorc ne
arrived, and was prepared to sooth and com
fort him. She was notl insensible to the
extent of their misfortunes, nor tho trials
which awaited them, but she had been early
taught to bow her head in uncomplaining
I resignation to whatever her Ilea vealyxa
thcr sent. Tho lessons learned from tho
lips and practice of a tenderly beloved mo-
ther were tot forgotten In the hour ot trial
Sho thought of her children deprived of the
Tmrnntrijrf Tyi' prrwfnn
went. Then came thoughts ol her hus
band, of bis disappointed hopes, of the
disgrace which she feared his quick sense
of honor would attach to this failure, how
much he would need support and comfort ;
and she kneeled at tho footstool of her God
and prayed for strength, not only to bear
own trials, but alleviate those of her hus
band. As she prayed a calm fell upon her
heart, and the remembrance of many bless,
ings still mercifully spared to them, arose
before her; and prayer commenced in sup
plication, was ended in thanks and praise.
Sho sought her children, and went with
them to the liiftleparlor, where, at evening,
Edward was accustomed to find his lamily.
Sho arranged the room to give it its ordioa-
ry appearance, drew, up her work table to
the fire, as if she had, been employed as
usual ; and then joined the sports of her
children.
Ellen was thus employed, when Edward
entered. For a moment he "had hesitated
before opening the door. He heard the
merry voices of his little children, ana
sweet tones of his wife. They were happy,
and he must mar their happiness. His
thoughts were becoming extremely painful,
his ol.l st child asked his mother, ' what
atlier staid away so late for 7" Tho answer
determined him. " Your father, my child,
will soon como, I hope. I cannot think
why ho stays so late," then continuing,
as if to herself, r,IIe surely does not doubt
me ; he cannot fear to tell me what has
happened. I trust his confidence in me is
not weakened." Edward now opened the
door, and she rose to meet him. "lam
so glad you have come home," sho said ;
" I know all, and am ready to redeem my
promise, to bear any reverse of fortune for
and with you. I have already given the
servants warning Poor things f1felt
moro for them at that moment than for my-
self. They all begged, that if 1 ever re-

ever be in a situation to take them again.

having made his escape from the calaboose
in Santa Fe, in April, and then travelling
the entire distance to Independence, M.,

According to his own story, ho was at
first liberated after the other prisoners were
sent on towards the city of Mexico, as were
also several other Mexicans who accompa
nied the expedition as servants. One of
them had some ill-will towards Martias, and
manifested it by informing tho authorities
that Tie was a regular Tcxian soldicryaud

tier with Col, Hayes in his spy company

Upon this he was arrested, and confined
during the winter in the calaboose at Santa

On one occasion, some thirty or forty

somewhere this side of Bun down, in Mis.

seventeen men, twelve horses, four wagons ,
and fifty cows and calves with an intent to
traverse the immense plain near the Rocky
Mountains, in search of young buffaloes.
After reaching tho scene of operations,
tho hunters would select half a dozen of the
fleetest horses and dash off. Arab-like t..

up and cautiously approach tho animals,
keeping well to the teeward, as seamen snj ,
to prevent tho animals from taking alarm
which they usually do when tho hunter is .

lassos, tho Mexican mode of catching culila

be secured. The hunters aimed at the cul vi-m
but if they missed them and happened ti
catch a tartar, that was likely to prove nn

request immediately, and the animal dis.

Such of the young as were secured woul li

her young offspring, at the same time, hav

become so much attached to " mully," that
it would be loosertcd and suffered to run at',

taken and domesticated. In a few weeks
they will reach New York where if not dis
