"TflE WIFE'S APPEAL. The clock fruck "eleven. A woman sat by-lhe fifceiJe roekmg her baby to sleep. The room wu a sinjill one ; it vva a poor workman's homt! ; yet there was an air of nealneM and cufuforr about it. Tbc floor waa awepl cjenn. the fire burned bright and crackled in the ehimney, niwl the few Rtliclee "of furcMinre whirh were neatly placed about 1 fie room lione in the firelight, their clear lisb reflecting the merry blase of the flame. Yet the woman-seemed to be eaJ at heart. Though the element of comfort were aboot fur. She iglied from time to rime ag she jjlancf.d at the cot;Ja which her baby wa vltJ. The child moaned uneasily in ita sleep, lor it was sick--!!. -U She stooped down to gaze at ii. A hec tic rpot burned on tilbt-r cherk, while its lips were parched and pale. The oor babe tossed its heiiiT uneasily froii s'de to side, -aod seemed all unconeaous of the rocking of the cradle, which now ceard to lull it to its "wonted slumber. The distressed mother wrong hr hands and wailed within herself. But suddenly she started and rose up at the sound of a footstep ob. the pavemrnt without. She listened, the step passed by; and she sank bark in he-chair aitin. Alas !' she sighed, 'it is not lie ! When will he come V She listened again. She approached the door, opened it. and looked ouu All was iill in the lonely street.; the hum of the rity. though subdued and rauffl-il by the falling night, still reached he- ears from the distant thoroughfares. Over and above all - st-eeto. lamps. And cily thoroughfares, hung higb up in, the heaven--iiihone the cluftteiing fields of stars,- Jookiitg "down, in their eternal, unpityiog gaze, on the turmoil, the sorrow, and the suffering of this 1 .wer world- The sight of those cahn watchers unvarying, imperishable; eternal, is at. limes full of sadness end melancholy: at least, so now did this lone woman feel, and sadly she turned back into her little nook, where lier child lay.- She closed the door, and sat down again by the cradle. All was hushed again, and now she listen ed to another distant step in the street with out. Again she stood by the door. Tlie clocks of the city were booming the hour of twelve lar ami near. The step approached ; it was unsteady ! She knew that step, and her heart quailed at its sound. She knew its me.atiinr. Ah haw bright she oijce looked at hearing the elastic tread of her lover, and ;d"ier that ol her husband, for it was he ! Bui now it brought with il ouly sadness, despair, mid a grim forebodtjiff of sorrow to come. Yel she received him as of old kissed him a he entered, and welcomed hira home again, as she had always done. ' It is very late. William.- she sa:d. Well ! what of that V ll?s lonely sitting up.' 'And who told you to sit op? Nobody asked you. What bufines han: you to s.t up V and he hiccupped. The poor woman burst into tears. Crying again, woman ! Well, what good will that do 1 You don't think I care for your cr ing V I'm afraid not, William. But go to bed. and we shall talk things over in the morning ' Talk things over 1 What have you goi to say, that you can't say it now? You're going to scold me, I suppoee; hut ils all of no use.' 4 No, William ; you know well enough I am no scold. I have never spoken an angry word to you yet. since I became your wile, and t will not. il a husband cannot be got to love his wife and have a regard for her -omnrt without scolding, it were better to give him up at once,' she said, seriously. ; Why, Kate ! what do you mean ? I know you have been a good wife, and an affection ate one; but can't a man stay out when he likes, without hi wife setting n crying when he comes home? But come let's to bed.' 'No, William; I must nurse our child. - He's very ill.' What! III? and I didn't know of it ! What's.the matter V 'I can't tell ; but he's feveru-h and resiles., -and I must watch by him for the night. Go to bed now, like a good, kind fellow. I hope it w.ll be all well in the morning.' Well, bfe it so. But I must have a kiss of the baby before I jjo." And he approach the cradle for the purpose Intoxicated though he was, he could see how much the child suffered ; iJ moaned and tossed about as if in pain. He would, how eve!, have lilted the child up in his arms, but the mother dissuaded him it was too lil (or that. He stooped down, and, staggering, would almost have lailan over the cradle cut the wife held him back. Oh, William,' she cried, leave the ch id ttloue ! You are not fi to touch him. See you frighten him ! Go now.' He staggered back, looking confused nnd ashamed. "Well, I am sorry for this, but I'll e'en go. Poor dear little Willie.' He was about to retire, when turning back he said hastily, as if the thought had for the moment sobered him 'But if the child should die V 'Then, God's will bo done,' said the mother sobbing. Oh, Jet me fetch a doctor.' he cried with Soot of alarm, ' I'll bring one in a few min tites ; Itt me go V ' I have seen to that, William ; the doctor lias been and done what he could. Now go!' And he went staggering to his steeping chamber, from whence theeound of his labor ed breathing shortly proceeded; and the -drunken snoring of the husband, the wailing (no&nor the "sick-xhrld. and the occasional deep sighs of the watching wife and mother, were" the only sounds that broke-the stillness of the night in that sad little household. The morning's light peered in through the window-blind's, and still found the mother by the child's cradle,' She watched there by her first-born calling to mind its sweet win ning ways, its prattle, and its bright look. But now', aIasiC;tbere was bat the quivering clammy lipsthroogh whfch the child's soul seemed flattering - Ils shortmins breath la bored on, and its tiptofned eyed wera-ha1f veiled by .the convulsed ua cnseiesa, un conscious, and helpless, never had thai child been more dear to the mother's heart than now ; yet love oald not save it ; sorrow could not ransom M. .There. was a long; breath, a sigh, a gurgling sound in the throat; and then quiet; it was 1 he quiet of death. ;T i i be mother watched for him that ' could not hear her weeping, f-t , At lengththe morning faTrty broke.. It was broad daylight, a'nd -the husband rose from-bis coach . with ' red eyes and heated brain. His step was unsteady a he entered the apartment where stifl tat the mother and her dead child.; 4 f &kt. ' IV late, said the husband, advancing ; 4J fthait not he In time For work. Why did you let me sleep s long V Poor little Willie!' was all she could sob out iii reply. ' What's the matter he asked ; and then pausing a moment, he seemed suddenly to recollect the events of the past night. -I think you fcaid the child was iM.' 'He's dead !' O. God V he eiclaimed, i it cannot be.' He looked down into the cradle, ami there lay I he child, oa Inland placid its if in sleep, yet 'breathing not. and with the hue us' death upon iis cheek. He groaned, and sunk into a chair by the cradle-gide, unable to speak. But suddeuly there passed through his mind the visions ol the past ; and he thought of the sweet praitle ol" his child on the eve oings of his return from labor, id the de light he'had fell iu watching his g owing in telligeuce, of his arch iles and playful ness und then of the patient love and care of his wife, now bowed down in silent griel beside him. O, Kate, thi is a sad sight. Our poor, dear child!' aud the strong man hid his face in his hand-, and sobbed audibly. She look his hand. He looked up through his tears, and said ; I have been very cruel and selfish towards you. Do you not hate mo.?' No, no !' said the weeping wife ; no, Wil liam, but here, by ihe body ol this, our first born, let me speak -tt you ol the past.' 1 Not now. not row !' William, 1 must: I have thought of il during ihe night, while I waited for you. and watched by your child and mine ; ami now I feel il to be right' lo speak to you, though it is in sorrow ' ' Be mei ciful to in-' !' 1 I have no word of reproach lor ju Wil liam ; but I would speak to you as your wile, whom you promised to love and cherish till death.' I did ! I did !' 'You took me, a girl, from my lather's house and home, vvheie I was happy. You loved me.' True! and I love mi now.' I believe you. William. Well, I was young, with linle knowledge of ihe world, but I tried to make your home as happy as mine had been before. I labored to make it chee ful and bright for yon. I sought to at tract you to my side, nnd keep you at home with me and thedear child there, after your hours ol daily labor were over.' You did. 'K ite. No vv.ile could have been more kind and good.' William. I prayed lor you; 1 thought but of you. I lived but for vou.' Oh, spare me. I know. I feel, how cruel 1 have been.' ' .V. only ihouglnless. When sober yru h ive always been kind and loving ; bin when iou have spi-nt your uvenings away from us. and cone in late ' I have been harsh and cruel 1 know it now.' J)ear William, one other word and I rim done Let me. have i-omc of your evening leHUie spent bet-ide me. I will try l make you happy. Sit hiide me while I work; and if 1 do not so much as the com (.anions whom yu nreet with elsewhere, teach mc. and I will learn.' O'i. Kite, said" William, sobbing. ;I never fell your love so dear to me as now. Here by the body of ibis dear ehild. 1 solemnly promise that il shall be na you say I will forsake those haunts of dissipation in whi'-h my soul had well nL'h been lost, and seek peace, and pardon, and happiness, again, by vnur side.' And as lime passed on. the memory of the dead infant waa guarded ns a precious trea sure ; for ils death had been sanctified in boih. The promise soiemnly made by its cradle-coffin, had been kept, and pence and blessings descended in rich abundance upon ihe happy collage home. THE TRI-YVEEKLY COMMERCIAL.

K.KAD AND BE CONVINCED. The-'Piil.idelpliia Saturday Gazette," says of Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters. 'It is seldom thit wj recommend what are term ed Patent Medicines, to the confidence and patron age of our readers; and therefore when we recom mend Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, we wish il to be distinctly understood that we are not speaking of the nostrums of the day, that arc nois"d about for a brief period and then forgotten after they have done their guilty race of mischief, but of a medicine long established, universally pri2ed,nnd which has met the hearty approval of the faculty itself." 'Scott's Weekly,1' said, A ug. 25 : ''Dr. Hoofland's ernian Bitters, manufactured by Dr. Jackson, arc now -ecommended by some ofthe most prominent men.--.

We have taken the contents of two bottles, and wo have derive! more benefit Iron) the experiment than we derived previously from yearsof allophalictreat mentat the hands of our first physicians." Hon. C. D. HIneline, Mayor of the City of Cam den. N. J., says : "Hoofland's Germ ass Bitters. We hive seen many fl ttlorinff notices of this medicine, ind the source from which they came induced us to make inquiry respecting its merits. From inquiry we were persuaded ;o use it, and m.st say we found it specific in its action upon diseases of the liver and digestive organ, and the powerful influence it exerts upon nervous prostration, is really surprising It calms and srrengthens the nerves, bringing them in to a state of repose, making sleep refreshing. If this medicine was more generally used, wc are satisfied there would be less sickness, as from the stomach, liver and nervous system, the great major ity of real and imaginary deseases connate. Have them in a healthy condition and you can bid defi ance to epidemics generally. This extraordinary medicine we would advise our friends who are at all indisposed, to give a trial it will recommend it self. It should, "n fact, be in every family.

MARYLAND. Hi Established in order lo afford the Afflicted sound and scientific .uedicul Aid, and for the suppression of Quackery. DR. 1. B. Smith has for many yrars devoted his wholea;tention to the treatment ol Private com plaints, in all their varied and complicated forme. His ijreat success in those long standing and diffi cnli cases, such as were formerly considered incur able, is sufficient to commend him to the public as worthy of ihe extensive patronage he has received, V ithin ihe last eight years, Dr. ci. has treated more than 29,500 cases of Private Complaints, in ihcir ditierenl forms nnd stages; a practice which no doubt exceeds that of all other physicians now ad vertising in Baltimore, and not a single case is known where his directions were strictly followed, and medicines taken at reasonable time, without effecting a radical and perAanent cure ; therefore uersons afflicted with Hiaiuva nf ,ho k, ' ' no matter how difficult or sending th case' 1 may be," would do well to call on Dr. Smith at his 1 UUU.C.HO, 10, ouuui r reaencK oi., ana l not effec tually relieved no remuneration will be required lor his services.
