Unhappily, there are but few in the married

hearts of those who love us, as also what
maybe considered the infant or incipient
state ol that bright existence, warmed by
"sacied flume," which can alone qualify

To love in wint'ry age the tsme '
As first in youth we lov'd."
"A festival was given by-a young married
lady -one of a numerals cireiof acquaint
ances on the return of her birthday, which
was' likewise the first anniversary of her
marriage. A large parly of her yoririg
friends, the greater partof whom had kneel
ed at the hvinenial alter about, the fame
time with herself. Were present to enliven
the occasion. Mr. and Madame Mayland
(for such shall be the name of the host and
hostess J presented a most lenciuous union,
and were noted lor their tender tegard foi
each 6thetj whieb partook more of the ro
mantic, fondness which characterizes the
young and hopeful lover, than that which is
usually observable in the staid realities of
married life, of even less than a year s stan
ding. Happy within themselves, they ne
glected no opportunity to administer to the
toy and comlorl of their Inemis whom they
gathered about them, and possessing the
most agreeable manners, it was rarely that
their efforts to please proved unsuccess
ful.
With such beings to entertain, it is easily
imagined that their visitors at such times
would be under very little restraint in pur
suing the pleasure of the hour; and testraint
in such cases, as all know, is a great bar to
enjoyment. The conversations were anima
ted, and for a time were participated in by
nil After a number of other topics had
been exhausted, the ever prolific theme of
matrimony was brought ttpOn the tapis.
.This, ill some respects, was perhaps pecu
liarly appropriate to the exigence of the oc
casion; but unfortunately, it was suffered to
take a turn, the only result of which; if left
unchecked, would be likely, in time to
grow into unconquerable evil.
This untimely interruption of the general
liarnHiny which marked their intercourse
for a few moments previous, was caused by
some of the young husbands prevent, who
were disposed to . treat the subject - in the
most disagreeable light, by inveighing against
matrimony, and b.v ridiculing that condition
and in vaunted ple&eures, when compared

which would be open to them, and upon

Painful indeed was the result to all but
such as were its active" promoters. Mr.
Mayland, who had withdrawn his voice and
was sitting a ailent spectator of what was
going forward during this part of die con
versation, was justly indignant at the exces
ses of his guests and longed for an 'opportu
nity not only to change the tenor of their un
becoming observations, but to administer, al
the same lime, without involving any breach
of hospitality, some suitable and effectual
rebuke. They, however, continued, their
bitter remarks; and at length, noticing Mr.
Mayland'a silence, one of them approached,
and tapping him upon the shoulder, said
'Well, Mayland, here you sit quiet as a
mouse. What do you think of the matter
the advantages and disadvantages? We
should like to have your opinion! What
would you do if yon were not married?" 1
Mayhmds sweetheart-wife was sitting a
little distance from him when this question
wa propounded. She had been highly de
lighted that her dear husband had abstained
from the reckless flow of words, which had
beeh'pasift
directly appealed to, her heart leaped, and
she rivettcd her eyes upon him with mingled
emotions of hope and fear. It was not at
that moment a matter of much difficulty to
read her countenance. It seemed to ask
"And am I, too, to be compromised by my
husband, as my friends have been by
theirs?" But her suspense was of a shoit
duration.
"What wotild I do?' slowly repeated the
lover huvband, and then turning to meet the
glance of his wife, lie continued, "1 would
go immediately in search of Miss , re
peating her maiden name.) o.tTer to her. my
heart and hsndi be blessedly receiv.ing.hers
ponible." " ' , -
This unexpected reply, so deliberately
and firmly expressed, had the effect to pro
duce instant silence. The satirical pArtion
of the Young gentlemen understood and ai
nfeciated its full force. Thev were sud
denly abashed. It waS a contrast with thi-ii
own conduct too striking net to have its
weight. The young wife who Was the sub-
lectofit, was so deeply affected--'So tilled
with gratitude, that she had been spared the
infliction of a pain she so fervently depreca-
ted-thal she sprung Jrom . her seat and fell
unnn his neck and with a tear of iov glis
tening in her eye, said, in a subdued
tone
My beloved husband, that answer is in
consonance with what, to me. you have ever
been. Would that 1 were more worthy Of
your most devoted affection. ,
"More worthy, my dear wife," he return
ed, "more woithy you cannot be. You
are to me a jewel of ineatimnble worth. De
prived of you, life would be o me but one
unrelieved blank.'
He then impressed upon her forehead an
Impassioned kiss, and seated her gently be
side hi .v.'
But the scene did not end her e. The
voices of those who a few moments before
were londest in vain pi aide, were now hush
ed in silence; and that silence needed to be
broken by some spirit that could suggest a
different and more agreeable pastime than
that in which they had just been indulging,
but which none now seemed disposed to re
new. At this crisis a mariied sister of the
husband who had so suddenly changed the
rd?r of things, which she viewed with much
satisfaction, noticed the kiss, and for the pur
pose of putting an end to the awkward in
termisson, playfully, asked, directing atten

Maslher Dermott M'Foy. a merry-faced
Kly-looking rogue, who appeared, from his
isyle of dress and most unintelligible brogue
to have been very recently imported from
the land of botheration, appeared on a peace

Last week, commenting on the! Keporl of
the secretary ofthe Treasury, (which-it fg
norandy calls the Report of the 7VftMurrrof
the U. a.) the Standard sys that the result
of the present Tariff is, -'a serious diminu
tion or the amount or money received from
customs." The Report, on the contrary,
shows, that the amount received from cus
toms in 1842, (excluding nearly five mil
lions from bonds taken in 1811.) was ouly
thirteen millions, in round numbers, and the
amouiH received and estimated under the
new Tariff in 1843, is ''mora than sixteen
millions," and the Secretory estimates the
receipts from customs in 1844.-at twenty
millions. Thus, should the Secretary a an
ticipation be realized, there will be an in
crease of seven millions a year from the Ta-
rin. i ha standard also misrepresents tne
Secretary as recommending that the duties

THAT SAME OLD COON.
During the campaign of 1840, the foco-

lamented Harrison, by designating him as
the "Log Cabin and Ilard Cider candidate"

men, good humordly adopted the cognomen

aristocratic sneer against an old veteran

REARING APPLE TREES. 3
A gentleman if Bohemia, has established
a beautiful plantation of the best , sort t)f ap
ple trees, which have neither sprung from
the'secds nor from grafting., ; Hia plan la to
like shot)ts from the choicest sorts, insert
each of ifiein into a potato, and plunge both
into the ground, leaving but an inch or Iwo
of the shoots above the surface. The pota
to nourishes the shoot whilst it pushesout
roots, and the shoot gradually springs up snd
become a beautiful -tree, bearing the best of

CURIOUS ACrRICULTURAI -'
EXPERIMENT., , .
Tlie following novel and interesting at
perimenl has lately been successfully made "
by Mr. A. Palmer of Chram, Suirey: In'
July, 1842, ba put one grain of wheal in a
common gandenot In August, the Sams' .
was divided into 13 plsnts. In Seplemlier,
these 'i plants were divided into S3, which
in November weie divided into SO plants',
and then placed in open groiTM. In July.
1843, 12 of the plant failed, but? the remain
ing 38 were bealihy,-. On the ', 10th of Au
gust they weie cut down, and counted 1,703
stems, with an average of 50 grain lo a
stem, giving an increase of 98,600. Now,
if this be a practieable means of meagnrm-j
wheat, h follows that most of the grain now
used for soed may be saved, and will infinit
lymoro. than : cover . tlie extra expense of -sowing
ss the wheat plants can be raised by
the laborer in his garden, his wife and chil
dren1 oeing emplojed in dividing and trans
planting then. One of Jhe stems was rath
et more than six feet long, and stout in pre-'
