"Dear, dear J no toust, egga boiled Lard as lirickbats, and tbe coffee stono cold;" aod Mr. Peters rose from tbe bruukl'ust-tuble in a temper by no nifiitns amiable, uud rung tho bell violently. There was no answer. Ho rang again a third, fourth timotitill no answer'! Out of all putience, be went to the door and culled, "Maria, Maria!" A slight, pretty little womnn, drcssd in a soiled, tumbled wrapper, with hair in a state of dreadful confusion, answered bis summons. She had oue of those round, bright faces which Nature intended should be decked with continual smiles; but now with all its roses in in bloom, it wag drawn to its full length, ond the large blue eyes bad u serious, or ruther dohful exprmiuii, totally nt variance with their usual joyous look.' Her voice, too. had lost its melodious, ringing sound, and was summed to a disnml whine. "What is it, Joseph?" 'Where's Bridget?" "Uoue out fur me. I want inoro white rib-bou for my cseensiou lobe." Air. FelerJ said a very naughty word, and then continued : "Cold coffee, hard eggs breakfast not fit to eat." "I wish, whined his wife, "you would think less of temporal matters and turu your attention to the greut end of life." "Hang it all, Madam! fwouldlike to enjoy my life while I do have it Here was I, the happiest mini in the Uuitcd States, with a plensaut home, n chatty, cheerful, loviug wife, uud good, quiet children; uud now since you have joined tho Milluritos, what nml?" r "Oh, Joseph, if you would only come into that blessed circle." "Oh, Maria, if you would only come out of it. Where's thu boys?" "I'm sure I don't know," . "Are they going to school to day?" "My dear, their teacher has given up the school, and is turning her mind to more exulted objeots. Oh, Joseph, turu uow while there is time. . Yo;t have stilt a week fur preparation and repentance." "Kepeutauce ! Well, when I take up the subject it will take more thuu a .veekto put it through !" And Mr. Peters put on bis coat and took op his bat "Joseph," said his wife, "you need not send home any dinner. I shall bo out, aud I'll take tho hoys over to their uucle's to dine. Joe mad uo answer, uuless tho violently emphatic manner iu which he closed the dooi was one. Muttering with anger, he strode into a rcsturant to make a breakfast Here he was hailed by one of his old bachelor friends Fred. Sonnners, who looked up as he heard Joe's order. ., i "Halloo!" he cried, "you here? Why, what are you doicg hero at breakfast time? Wife sick?" . , "No !" "Hud a quarrel?" "No!" ' "Goue totowu?" "No I" ''Then why don't yon breakfast at homo? Chimuey ou Ore?" 'Nof , .. . : "Servants all dead?" ;"No!" , ' Well, what iu the lliuudor is to pay?" "Miiriu'sjoiued the Millerites !" ' ' . Fred, guve a long whistle, and then said : "Going to ascend next week ?" ' ' "Yes, ud if I don't commit suicide in the neiiutunoyou may congratulate me. . I am almost distracted. : Can't get a decent meal; childreii miming riot, servants tuuey, bouse all iu confusion, wife iu the blues, either quoting die speeches of the elder at me, or sewing ou a white robe and groaniug every third stitct Hung it oil, Fred., I've greut miud to take poison or join the army I 1 ': "lira I h'm 1 yon give an enchanting pio-tnre, but I think I can suggest a Cure." "A cure?" ''Yes; ifybu will promise to folio my advice I Will make your home pleasant, your wife cheerful, and your children happy." "Do it," cried Joe. "I will follow your wurd like a soldier under bis officer. What shall I do?" At tea time Mr. Peters entered his home whistling. Maria wua teuted at the table aew-jng oa her wbite robe, and (hire was no signs of preparation for the evening meal. "Maria, my dear," said Mr. Fetera cheerfully, "is tea ready?" , ,i , ''I do not know." was the answer; "have been ont all day attending meeting. "Oh, very weliV never m?nd attending peeling! Yoa are resolved, Ihen.to leave Die next week?" ' "Oh, Joe. t mnst ko when I nm called 1" "Ye, my dear, of oowm Well, 1 mu3t resign niyseif, 1 wppiifo. I5y the way, my 3ear baa it ever oo airvd to yo that I ahall be left a widowar, with tureo children? I think J ant hncdsonie mat) yet, my lova." . U : Aod Joe walked up to, the glass, ran his fingers through bis hair, und pulled up his shirt coller. ,'; ! Maria looked up rather surprised ' ! ,'Yoi see, it is ruther a relief for you to go quickly, you know; it is so wearing to the nerves to buvo a long Manas; and, bojidos, my dear, thero will be no funeral expenses, and that is quite a suving." ' ' Mrs. Peters' lip quivered, and Imr large blue cyos filled with tears. Joe longed to stop his heartless speech and comfort her, but he i'us fearful the desired effect was not gained yut. "So, my dear," he continued, "if you (mint go, I have been thinking ' of . getting another wife." i ...... . . . , ' I "What?" " ' , 1 "Another wife, mylovi; the I onse must bo kept In order and tho hoys cared for." i , The grief was gone from Maria's face, but her teoth were set with u look of intense wrath. ' "Anolhor wife, Joe another wife!" , ,. "Yoj; I think I have selected a good successor. I deliberated a long time, when I was a bnchslor, between her and youisolf. You will liko her, for she is your bosom friend. Yes, my dear, think that on tho day you ascend I will nrorry Sarah lngrahnm." "What ! that good-for-nohing, silly, empty-headed old maid the mother of my "childred 1 Wliut? ' 'Well, my dear, it seems to be tho beit I can do I 1 don't want to leave my business to go n courting, and she will have me, I know." "No doubt! Oh, you great, brutal, hate-ful""Stop, my dear; don't fly into a fury! Wo will try to tpeud our last week in hnpniuess. Oh, bv the way, I have a proposition to make." "Uo on, fir; don't spare me." "Ah, yes, Unit is tho very thing I wish to do. 1 know yonr mind is entirely engrossed w'lh your ascensions, and 1 wish to spare yon the care of lioufe. Suppose you invite Sarah here to-morrow to spend u week !" "What?" "Then I can arrange our matrimonial prep arntious iu the evening, while you are ut the lecture." "What?" "And you can leave the honsn in her charge nil day. 'That will givo you plenty of time to get out. and she can learu th ways ubout the house." "What?" "And, my dear, one little favor. It may be tho lust 1 shall ever ask. Stuy nt horn1) ouo or two days, wont yon, and show brr around where yon keep tho things and so ou. so that she wou't have any trouble when you go. You will do this to oblige me, won't yon?" Mi?, Peters, for answer, rolled up tho ascension robe iuto a ball and fired it at Joe. Tho coltoD, scissors, work basket and tuble-cloth followed each other in such rapid sue-cessicu that he was umhle to fly. ' Then Maria's rage found vent in words. "So you und Sarah 1 That's the reason you whistled wheu yoti caino in I But yon shan't, have that gre.it gratification ! I will stey, if it h only to soiloyou 1 I won't go; I tell you, Mr. Peters, I wou't go." "Put, my dour, you must go if you arc como for." ' -,J--. 1 i "I won't go !" "But cousider, my dear." I wou't go !" "Hut what will Sarah think?" "Sarah ! Don't dare to mention Surah to m6 again ! '" I I oh, I nm fairly choking!" And the littlo woman threw herself iuto a chair iu a St of hyto'ics. Next morning Mr. Peters met Fred, in tho street; 'Well, old boy, how goes it?" "Fred," was tho reply, "I am the happiest man in the world! I have regained ray wifo and domestic peace, and got rid of u busy, tattling old maid, who, under protenso of loving my wife, was everlastingly interfering with any household arrangement." "Thou, Mr3. Peters will not ascend, will she?" "No. If Sarah is to be my second wife and stepmother to my children, Mrs. Peters has eoncluded thut, ou tho whole, she won't go !"

In the I'st, tho family of tho Trollopes arc conspicuous, and tbuir : "Villa" was the centre' Of a circle of geuiiH und cultivatien. Among them, th ' irotbiir, Mrs. Frances Trollope, receives n kind und appreciative 'notice. As this lady becume prominent by beV residence in Cincinnati, aud her book ou America, some twenty, five years ago, mid us her character id net regarded vory favorably l)y -the infi?3 of 'Aliieii-cans, we copy this notico of her by one who hud a good opportunity to know her real worth : . Frances Trollope, daughter of tho Reverend William Milton, a fellow of New College, Oxford, was born at Stapletou, near Jiristol, where her father hud a cun.ey She died iu Flotnce, on the sixth of October, 18C3, at tho advanced age of eighty three. In 1803 she married Thomas Anthony Trollope,bar-rister-at luw, by whom she had six children : Thomas Adulphus, uow of Florence, Henry, who died unmarried ut Binges, in Flanders, in 1834, Arthur, who died under nge, Anthony, tlie well known novelist, Cecilia, who married John Tilley, Assistant Secretary of the General Post-Office, Loudon, and Emily, who died under age. Mr. Thomas Anthony Trollope married and became the father of a family 03 presnmptivo heir to the good estate of mi uncle. The hit ter, however, on becoming a widower, unexpectedly nmirii'd a second tiniC, and iu his old ago was himself a father. The sudden chango thus caused ia the position and fortune of Mr. Trollope so materially deranged his tifl'iiirs as to necessitate the breuking np of bis establishment ut llniriiw-on-the Hill, near Loudon. It was at this time that Miss Fanny Wright (whom Mr. and Mrs Trollope met at the country-house of Lnfayelte, when visiting the Uouerul iu France) persuaded Mrs. Trollope to ifirocucd to America with ihe hope of providing a career for her second soil, Henry. Miss Wright was then bent on founding nu establishment, in necorilnncewilh her cherished principles, ut Nashnba, ivar Memphis, aud ihe career marked out for Henry Trollope was in connection with this scheme, the fruit of which was disappointment to all the parties concerned. Mrs. Trollope afterwards endeavored to establish her son iu Cincinnati ; but these attempts were ill managed, aud consequently proved futile. Both mother aud son then returned to England, tho former taking with her u mass of memoranda and notes which she had made during her residence in tho Doited States. These' wero shown to Cuptaiu Basil Hall, whose thou recent work on America had encountered bitterly hostile criticism und denial with lespect to many uf its statement, Fiid-iugthat Mrs-Trollopes uccount of various matters was corroborative of his own, Basil Hall for this reason, as also frcm friendly motives, urged Mrs. Tiollope to bring out a work ou America. "I'ho Domestic manners of the Americans" was the result und so immense was its success tliut at tho nge of fifty Mrs. Trollope adopted literature as a profess'ou. lathe eyes of the patriots of thirty years ago Mrs. Trollope committed the onpnrdou-able sin, when she published ber book on America ; aud certainly no country ever rendered itself meru ridiculous than did ours, whej it made tho welkin ring with cries of iu-dignatiou. Tho sensible American of ifoday reads litis same book nud wonders how bis couutrymcu lashed themselves into violent rage. In her comments upon America Mrs. Trollope is certainly frequently nt fault, but unintentionally. . She firmly believed all that she wrote, uud did irot romance, us Ameri. cuiis were'wont to declare. When she huds fault with tho disgusting practice of tobacco-chewing, nssails the too common custom of dram-driukitig, and complains of a want of refinement in some parts of the country, she eer-tainly has the right oil her side. Wheu she speaks of Jefferson's dictum, "All meu are born free und equal," ns a phrase nf mischievous sophis ry, uud refers to his posthumous works us a mass of mighty mischiefs, when she uccses us of being drearily cold nud lack ing eutbusiasm, nud regards the American women as tbe most beautiful in tho world, but the least attractive, we may naturally differ from hor, but we have no right to tyrauize over her convictions. That she bore ns no malice is the verdict of every on who knew her ever so slightly ; and her sons, who were greatly subjected to her iuflueuce entertain the kiudest and most frieudly sentiments towards t .e Uuited States. - ' Mrs. Trollopes works, beginning with the 'Domestic Maimers of tho Amei icons," pub lished iu 1832, and ending wish "fans and Loudon," which uppcared in 1856, amouut to one hundred and fourteen volumes, all, bo it remembered, written after her fiftieth year. Of her novels perhaps the most successful and widely known were the "Vicuror wrextiill, a violent satire on tho Evangelieal religionists, published in 1837, "Widow Barnaby," iu 183!), and "The Word of Thorpe Combe." in 1847, "Michael Armstrong," printed in 181U, was written with a view to assist the move ment iu favor of protection to the fuctory-op- cjaiivcs, which resulted in the famous "Ten- Hour Bill." 'I'be descriptions were the fruits of u personal visit to the priocipul scats of faelory-UOor. At tue time, tuts dook creaiea considerable sensation. '. , -: I'wo works of ti'nvcl and social sketches, "Paris and the Parisians," and Vienna and tho Austriuus," were also xory extensively read. With regard to tue second we Cemit proper to observe that Mrs. Trollope suffered herself to bo so far dazzled by tho very remarkable cordiality of hor reception iu the exclusive society of Vienna, aijd by tho flat tering iutimaey witn wuicn sue was uouoreu by, Priuce Mettetnich and bis circle, as to have been led to regard tbe (hen dominant Austrian political aud social system in a more favorable lisrht tbna was -consistent with (he generally liberal touo of her sentiments and opinions. Mrs. TroilOpe reaiiferj imm tier writings the lurge sura of one hundred thousand dollars; but generous tastes and a numerous family created as laige a demand as there was cm-ply, sud kept ber peu constantly busy. She wrote with a rapidity wbich seems to have been inherited by both ber sons, more particularly by Anthony Trollope. Oo of ber novels was written in three weeLs ; another (he wrote at tho bedside of a ton dying of consumption, sho being bound by contract to finish the work at a given time. Acting1 day and night as norso, tbe overtasked mother was obliged to stiwulute her nervous system by a constant nso of stroaj coffee, and be-tweenwhiles would turn to the unfinished novel and write of fictitious joys ond sorrowj while her own heart was (deviling lor the beloved ton dying beside her. It wai oo doubt pning to tl.'i coLitnl taxation cf the brain that her intellect was but a wrtck of its former self during the last four vcurs of her life. During this time her condition was but a living death, though nhu was physically well. She was wutcbod over aud cared for with the must unselflih devotion by ber son Thomas Adolphus and his wife, who gave up all pleas. ura uwiiy from home to be near their mother. Thefuvoiite reading iu these lust days was her son Acthony's iirvola. And Thomas" Trollope, writing of his mother's death, says : "Though wo bavo been so long prepared for it, and though my poor dear mother bus been in fact deud to us for many mouths , past, and 'though her life, free fr Jin suffer iiig us it was, was such ns those who loved ber could not have wibhed prolonged, yet for all this the last separation brings u pang with it., Shu wus as cood and dear a motharus ever man had ; uud few tons have passed so largo a portion of their lives in fucIi intimate association with their mother as I havo for more than thirty years." 'ibis is a noblo recwrd for both mother and son. To. ber children Mrs. Trollope was u providence and support in ull time of sorrow or trouble, a cause of prosperity, a couli- j dunt. a friend, nnd a comnnnion.

Oh Lord, if thon art not an Abolitionist, wo will contiuuo our supilicutiou uuto thee, but if thon urt mi Abolitionist ond Bay it is wrong to keep tho Diggers in bondage, and admit them into thy heaveo, we utterly repudiate thco and thy church, uud will establish fcr ourselves a now church, n new relioion und a new heaven. Oh Lord, we desire a pure church, anil holy people people that have no more regard for the nigger than for a dumb brute : we dou't believe they have any souls, aud if they have, a nigger's soul is uot worth saving. Oh Lord God, protoct nnd tlefeud slavery give us peacs, but don't let the Abolitionists interfero with slavery. In mercy, oh Lord, restoro the Democratic party to power, and every hfi'rnal cuss of a nigger to his master. Lord, dou't let fho niggers como North, lest they become our equals ; and iu much mercy doo't abolish slavery, lest they become our superiors, n Oh Lord, if there is a Lrrd, restoro to us our much beloved Vullandigham. but don't cripple slavery ; let George E, Pughhavoen-tiro liberty of speech, but d .n't give the niggers their freedom.

The enemy in the meantime began strengthening his advance line with le-euforccments. This determined Wood, who had been ussicned this duty, to carry this lino without delay.
