My heart always "sjjrs within me when I read selections mndehy editors" ol newspapers, which are designed lor us mnrried Indies, selling lorth our duty in relation to making our homes happy lo our husbands that we should always welcome them with a cheerful smile when they como in from the cares and fatigues oflhednyand do all wq can to make married life pleasant to them," fcc. Now, this is all well, I acknowledge and I trust I strWe to re duce that theory to practice. But allow me to inquire if tho cores and lutignes of the wife are always appreciated by the husband? Shall I give a short sketch of domes tic life as it is not of course describing a family as it shold be; but I wish to give a lair example ol eveiy day Mo at home. My neighbor. Mr Benson is a lawyer by profession, and is what the world calls a respectable man. His income is small; but he married a lady who was able to furnish their small house hand s6metyalidfhpy:have i",sonle5'olpe'''o1' property in reversion Mrs B has been a wife twelve years, and is the mother of five childern the youngest but a bate and the fum'ly are as hoppy as the larger portion of fam ilies. It is a Monday morning and this speaks "unutterable things" to a New ungland wife, who has been married a dozen years. Mr. Benson has Lad his breakfast in season has kissed the children and gono lo the office, where the boy has a good ore the hooks and papers are all in order, and Mr. P. sits dp,qtoags upon his tnno, which wul4evidenily turn injo cash. -lie goes home to his dinner punctually at one o'clock; it is ready for him he takes it quietly, per haps frolicstenminutes with tha baby, and then hurries back to bis office. . At the hour for tea he goes home, every thing is cheerful, and to quote the sim ple rhyme of on old song; The hearth wae cletn, lbs fire wee elect Th kett! on Car tea Benson was in his rocking chair, A blest a man could be. I But how has it been withMrs. Benson through thedny?She has an ill natiired girl in the kitcken who will do half the work only, at nine shillings per week. Monday morning, at eigh o'clock, four children must bo ready for school; Mrs, Benson must sponge their laces and smooth their hair; see that books, slntes pencils paper, pocket hankerchiefs yes, fonrof them, all are in orderand now the baby is crying the fire is low it is time Sally should begin to wash the parlor, the chamber, the breakfast things are all waiting. Well, by a song to baby who lies kiching in the cradle, a smile to smooth ruffled S.II and with all the energy ahe can summon, things are straightened out and the lolly pile of a week's wearing begins to grow less; but tho time shortens with it it is almost dinner time by some accident the joint of meat is frozen; company calls; Mr. Benson forgot to get any eggs on Snlur dayJMrs. B. must do the nexijbest thing; the bell rings twelvethe door opens and in rush the children from schools John has torn his pantaloons. Mary must hava somo money then to get a thimble she has just lost hers. Wil liam has cut his finger with n piece of glass and is calling loudly for his moth er. Poor Mrs, Benson endeavors lo keep cheerfuland.to look delighted in the hub bub; and now the dinner by her efforts alone, is upon the table; her husband comes in and perhaps wonders why the "pie is not a little belter warmed, and with Ibis comment, and a smile on the baby he is off till it is time lor tea I forbear to hnish the day and 1 shall say the afternoon is made up of - littles, too small to mention but large enough lo try the faith and patience of all the pa triarchs. Now, this wife virely has borne the burden and heat ol the dayr her limbs are wearied; her who'.e energy of mind and body exhausted and she is exhorted to "welcome her husband witn a smtie She does it for woman's love is stronger than death. I would ask should not Mr. B.' cite his wife a 'smile? What has he done to lightenher rare a through the day? How is it? In nine caiesoul ol len, ho wishes' Mr. Benson would put all those noisy children to bed, he should be glad to have her ' tell Uavid logo tothepott office for letters and papers and at length, wheu half iray between sleeping be looks at his pule, exhausted helpmate and fexclaims 'Well, wife, you begin to look a littf fa- turned," . : Editors should be more just and how and theu exhort husbands to do their part tow-art's making home more agree eblo to Uieir wive, when the latter have like Atlas, borne a world of cares and vexations through tha day. JUST LIKE HIM! . Mr. Charles F. Hoffman, Editor of the Littcrary World," in noticing Montery i Life of General Taylor takes occasion to relate some anecdotes of the old hero which refer back to the time when he waa a Col onel in the Black Hawk war. Nothing could be more characteristic than the follow ing: "Some time after SulImanV defeat by Black Hawk's band, Taylor, marching with a large body of volunteers and a hand ful of regulars, in pursuit of the hoatile In dian force found hiinxelf approaching the Rock River then asserted by many to be true north wetern boundary of the State of Illinois. Tho volunteers, as Taylor wan informed, would refuse to cross the stream. They were iniltia, they said, call ed out for tho defence of the State, and it was unconstitutional to order them to march beyond its frontier into the Indian coun try. Taylor thereupon halted his com mand, and encamped within the acknowl edged boundaries of Illinois. He would not as the relator of the story said budge ankieh fwtltr withoutordere. - Be. had already driven Black Hawk out of the State but the Question of crossing Rock River, seemed hugely to trouble his ideas of integrity to the constitution on one side, and military expediency on the odier. During the night, however, orders came either from Gen Scott or Gen.. Atkinson, for him to follow up Black Hawk to the last The Quietness of the Regular Col onel, meanwhile had rather encouraged the mutinous militia to bring the proceedings to a head. A sort of town-meeting waa called upon the prairie and Taylor invited to attend. After he listened for some time very quietly to the proceeding it became Rougb ajiiTRcauVa turn toadurcs the chair.. fcWharheardV; sure, the views which several of the speakers hadexprcFsed of the independence and dignity of each private American citzen. He felt that all gende men there present were bis equals in reality, he was persua ded that many of them would in a few years be his superiors, and perhaps in the capacity of members of Congress arbiters of the fortune and reputation of humble servants of the Rcqubtic like himself. He expected then, to obey them as interpreters of the people; and the best proof he could give that ho would obey them was now to observe tho orders of those whom the people had already put in the places of authority to which many gentlemen a raund him justly aspired. In plain English gentlemen and fellow citizens, the word has been passed on to me from Wash ington to follow Black Hawk, and to take yon'with me as soldiers. I mean to do both. There are the flat boats drawn up on the shore and here are Uncle Sam's men drawn up behind you on the prairie." "Stranger," added the man wh had told the story, "the way those militia men slop ed into those flat boats was a caution. Not another word was said, illad Zack Taylor been with Van Renselacrat Niagara River, in the last war, I rather think he l taught him how to get militia men over a ferry." THE WILMOT PROVISO. As our readers hear much of the "Wil- mot Proviso" no doubf they would like to read il for theroarlve. as w ell as the counter resolutions introduced by Mr Cab noun. I he "r rot mo was introduced in. to the last Congress during a discussion touchintr the propriety of the annexation of Mexican-territory to thia country. tiik wiLXOT raovtso. That there shall neither be slavery nor involuntary servitude in any territory on the continent of America, which shall here after be acquired by or annexed to the United State; by virtue of this appropri ation, or in any other manner whatsoever, except for crimes, whereof the paitv shall have been duly convicted; Provided, al ways, that any person escaping into such territory, from whom labor or service is lawfully claimed in anyone of the United State, such fugitive may be lawfully re claimed, and carried out of such territory to the person claiming his or her labor or service. ANTI-WILMOT PROVISO RESOLU TIONS. Mr. CulhoutC ReMolulioni, tubmUled in the Senate, lib. 10, 1847.

The United States steamship Tele graph Cnpt.,Wilon arrived atthe Levee yesterday from Urazos bnntiago, which place she left on the 1st instant. By this arrival we have received the Mnfa moras Flag of the 21sr,23th and 2Sth of August and also a most interesting letter from our valued and reliable cor respondent, 'Greene.' The letter and a number of extracts froth tho Flag, as well as an important order from Major Gen. Taylor, will be found in our columns. The news by thia arri val is exceedingly interesting and will no doubt be perused with anxiety by onr readers. - .Captain Baylor and his party, who were supposed to have been cnt off by the enemy had safely arrived at Cerral vo. ' The orders of the general government which have led lo the ordering off of Gen ralTay lorn troops suggest reflections which we would be hapy to commit to paper but the occupation of our columns prevents lis from doing ' so.
