Not being then sociably impelled by quite the nsual warmth of afi'ectiouate iooliug toward her husband, and conscious, also, that she had already said too much, Mistress Puffer eutered hereupon along projected and often-attempted reform. She did not talk much for two days ; aud the partner of her sorrows, in ferring that she wan sulking upon one of the rare occasions when he waxed conuuen tial told her so. This rojsconceptiou ; did not tend to a healthy healing of the wound, and, long after it was apparently closed and forgotten, there remained yet a pain aud bu-sitiveuess whore it had been. Having shown you whence the cloud arose, and in what manner the first rain fejl, you can imagine how it patlored down, drop by drop, into tho pelting, comfortless showei. "I've been thinking, perhaps, yi.u would be full as happy-by yourself ; you with your things, and I with mine. 1 can't seem to please you nohow," said Mr. Tuffer ut last, in a passionless tone. Just as though he had ever tried to please her ! as though he had ever any thought except to mould her, and everybody else with whom be came id contact, into a foe-simile of himself, angle fur auglo, hump for hump, and wrinkle for wrinkle. Though, as for that, this is only what we are all coutiuually trying to do, more or less, to our fellows j and joy to as that we do not spoil the world by succeeding! .... . . These cold-blooded word?, from which every drop of manifest foling had been carefully wrung before leaving the heart, ftlj with a sickeniog paralyzing weight upon Mistress Puffer's brain ; bnt in the midst of dutrb despair and selfrreproacliful misgivings she waa almost frightened to 'feel a certaiu relief. Now they were likely to be loosened she perceived how heavy and galling they had beon J those chains which are of rosea and lilies while they nro welcome, and of unwrought iron as soon as we weary of tbem. "I think you are right I think we shall be happier apnrt," replied Mrs. Puffer, after ten minutes' silence. '.... 1 This Was the first time in a year the husband and wile had been fully agreed, and it was the beginning of better days. Conrage 1 The sunshiue is coming j but before we see the bow of promise there must be, to bring Out its vivid brightness, a cloud of exceeding blackness.'" i '' 1 " ' ; '' M'he.duy wore on'; tbe husband busked corn, and "the .wife darned his stockings, and put new sloevea into bis old shirts, becanse, cor man there would be no oi to do these things for him by-and-by. ' At cvocU'g, when the lire waa crackling up the brand black chimuey, and a glazing pine-kuot wg flooding the low wnlnscnted kitchen with homely cbeerfiilneerf, throwing off sparkles of light from pilod-ap pang upou the dresser shelves, and niakiog the dnst.pan, hanging o its nail behind the pimtry doer shine like a first-cluss Koh-i-noor ; when the dog luy curled npon the bonrtli. a brindM mass of einbodird comfort; Mr,.' Puffer sat minding a liartiwi at one side of the (iloe-kiiot, nod dog aud Sirs. Puffer gat at the" other, knitting a new heel upon a defective souk. There was an appropriate ness in tho accident nf Bitting separated by the brindled Bosa j for the ring-family had been, iuded, one of tha chief .promoters of domestic schism. ; ; ,,..(,, r j ;.i ,7 Mistmsn Puffer, as it happened, doted On rats and detested dogs, while master approved of dujri sod despised cata. 8o it always fell out the playful, purring kittens whWh mistress poswfst'd herself of, and loved with all her heart, invariably disappeared, sudden and nn'iniely, like Jtluetwwd'i wivts j while a great, la'.y glutton of a dog perpetually fat-toat'd and dicw insolent without let or hind rance, bi'in always Mting, flwnj underfoot. nnd always parking distractedjy at passing travelers. 'I lie group nit thus npon tbe evpnioj f lil fateful dsy, tTksj a pleasant picture of domestic happiness ; bat oue, alas ! which was not founded upon fact. "I've been thinking whether or no Lawycf cabin wouldn't be as good a hand as wa can get to help about, dividing up tbe stuff," suid Mr. Puffer, presently, trying toput a waxed-end through an awl hole. '- ' - ' , "Yog, I should call him as good a choice as any. He is a man of excelleut judgmect aud prudence, aud he isu't of the telling kind, who would be likely to blab all the particulars to everybody," replied Mistress Puffer. I his was the seeocd point of ngreement. Thou followed a long sihnce, filled only by the crackling of the fire, the heavy ticking of tbe gauut eight-day clock, and the snoring of Dose. It was not until tho clock bad ticked half an hour from time iuto eternity that tho Uood-man Bpoke again. ;.. , . "I calculate it will be your best wny to tuke your pnrt and go up to your brother's. William will be glad enough of you for a housekeeper, for he-has had to got aloug most any way since his wile died " ' "Yes, I expect I can be a help to William," replied Mrs. P., for the third time harmonizing. "But what do you lay out to do for a housekeeper?" .-' , . "V ell, I am counting on making a shift somehow with mother's help." returned Mr. P., drawing up his waxed thread. Now the mother was au infirm old body, not over-neat or energetio ut the best, and Mrs. P.'s heart began to swell with pity i but of course it was not for her to object or dictate, so she only knit the faster, knowing well there would bu sore need. ,"I want to finish out my corn to-morrow. What supposing we ride up to Sabiu's the day after and settle up the matter f " suggest ed Mr. Puffer, when the clock struck niuo. "Two, four, six, eight, ten," responded the dame, counting her stitches. "1 don't know but that time will suit mo as wel us any. 1 have been loying out to make up tho quinces lo morrow, and th'n yon ueed a new IVnck, you know ; but I guess I can fetch them both to morrow." T'hero was a shade of sadness in her tone, for 6he was morally sure Mother Puffer would let the preserves mould or ferment or come to ruiu in aomounlioiisewilY-ly way, aud she was thinking, too, of the rug.i to be in thn blue woolen frock. But then it was not worth while to show any such feeling ; so, just to testify to her light-hearted indifference, she began to sing softly to herself while she bound off the heel j meantime the husband, from his sido of the dog, could but confess the sound of her volco was much more musical thuu his mother's asthmatic breathing. The next morning Mr. and Mrs. Puffer were astir long before light, for they had a busy day before them, Mr. Puller husked out bis corn and ate his meals, which happened to be of his favorite kinds of foot), in his usual heavy silence ; and Mrs. P. well I am afraid Mrs. P., though she bustled about with a great show of cheerful activity, mingled a few tears with tho beef-brine she was scalding, and even weut so far as to pat-liose once or twice, and feel a thrill of affection for him in bcr capacious heart when he looked up with a wag of delight. But the busy hours of tho October day hastened to Bpeud themselves, and quito too soon the old skeleton clock pounded out nine of tho evening again. ' "llo you lay out to be ready Tor to go to the Squire's to-morrow V asked Mr. Puffer at lr.ut, fiuding Mrs. Puffer would nut speak according to her wont and save him the trouble of opening his mouth. ' "Ye-es, 1 suppose so," returnod that lady, reluctantly ; "i rather thought whether or no I shouldu't mnuag-e to spin up that little handful of rolls into stocking yarn ; then tho pickle-vinegar needs scalding over ; and I do supposo your winter flanuola ought by Igood rights to have an overhauling j but somehow the time has slipped away, aud I haven't seemed to accomplish half I meant to. The fact is, there is always something to be done iu u bouee, aud I don't know but 1 am as roody us I shall be. Your mother will keep up things the best sho can, I've no doubt ; but the poor old woman is rather whx-zy and shaky, and the can't do as she could once." As a reply was not strictly neceseary, of course Mr. Puffer mnde none, but them was an answering "Amen" deep down iu his heart, which was the fourth time tbey two uiul louna a poiut of agieemeut. The Atlantic Cable. This great inter-natioual enterprise i represented as progressing with success. A letter from Geo. Seward, General Superintendent of construction, to Cyrus W. Field, states that the covering of the copper conductor, with its four layers of gutta-percha, commenced on the 19th of April, and has since then continued, slowly aud with great care, being constantly under electrical tests, by the aid of apparatus, which, if it bad been available when the former cable was constructed, would Have been utterty rejected. The present core, however, even under these searching tests, shows a perfection of insulation in its worst part, more than twice that of the high standard proscribed by the specification, and is undoubtedly tbe finest telegraphic core tbat has ever been constructed up to this period. Of this ahout 800 miles have at present been completed, or in various stages of completion. The total weight contracted is 1,600 tons, of which over ftOO tous havo been delivered. The completed cable U now bo iug delivered at the rate of 80 miles per week. The steamship Great Kastern is at Sheer-rjess, where she is being prepared for the re-ception of the cable. On her lower-deck are to be iron tanks for storing the cable in writer. Tbey will be threo in cumber aad about 59 foet in diameter by ?0 deep. , The cable when finished is placed in water dn board steamers, so tbat ft will be out of th'nt' element but a few minutes before being stretched ou the organ bed. . ; -, --'i . i-- ; Tun minister who divides his sermon into. seven brads finds it difficult to' get attentive ear for ail of them.

Editor. -Not seeing in any of the papers that the Government employees at this place, aro represented as being at the battle of Johnsonville, I write you respecting that matter. Not only were the Government em ployees there, but were the first to has'en'to tho scene of conflict, aud likewise stood op bravely and hold their grouud resolutely, but I am sorry 1 cannot say as much for the employees that were at work in Johnsonvillo at thistiiuo. ' ' On the 2d of the month, we received iutol-igeuco tRut Jchnsonville was about to be iu vaded by Forest, und her military stores carried off or burned, nnd there beinj no military forcoiof uuy Btreugth, only one regiment of colored troops and four companies of the 13d Wiscousin. Capt. Irviu here immediately issued au order, culling upon employees to volunteer for 6 days to go down there and hold tho enemy in check till, troops could be scut there; accordingly about 600 of us volunteer ed and arrived tbero on the 3d-tayed in tho laigo ware-house there that night. Next morning could occasionally seo the guuboatiUndine which the rebels had previously captured from us, came out from behind a bend in the river, as if offering battle; when our guubouts moved down towards her, bhe would dodge behind the bend and disappear, thinking this wus but a maneuver to draw them iuto a trap, they would return to Johnsouville. Friday, the 4tb, wus the day of tho hard fighting. That morning tho Undine, came out from behind the beud and presented her brondsido as if offering battle. Our guuboats, 32, 29, 52, dropped down the river, and opened fire upou her, when tbe Undine dodgod behiud thu bend, our boat following her up; they no sooner made the turn of the river, than a large land .battery inuno-diately opened upon them, of 12 twenty-four poaut parrot guns, strongly supportod- At this time the gunboats turned to come up the river, but coutinuiiif to fire npon the rebel gunboat till she wus so crippled, that they run her ashore and burned her. It is reported we had 4 gunboats down the river but wero unable to get up past the land batteries; in the meantime sharp shooters were exchanging shots across the river, with some effect on both 6ides. About 2 o'clock P. M., as our gunboats turned to come down to tho lower landing, where lay our trausports, nnd bargesi filled with Government freight, when immediately one after another of their masked batteries opened upou them (idling them with shots killing and wounding several of their crew; at tho same time they turned their attention to the transports and ware house, and buildings near the levee, completely ridling them with shells. By this time the guuboats were dos- royed; it was deemed essential that tho trans- potts aud barges, should be fired, to keep them from falling into the hands of the enemy, and in short time were in a sheet of Dames. Government property to the amount of ?600,- 000 was destroyed; one lurge ware houso was also. All this'time our forts were firing into their land batteries, and the enemy turned their attention to them, but with no effect; aud likewise pitching shells over at as, as r.u luy in the entrenchments, killing two of our num. bet and wounding one. Hqw many were killed of the other troops I cannot ' tell, several no doubt. At this stage the inhabitants com menced a regular stenipoed down the railroad towards Nashville, bat wjien nig-ht set in aud put nn end to the conflict, many . returnod.

That night ' rumors wero to the effect that the enemy wero crossing above and below with the intention of attacking r.s, but uo enemy rppeared. In the meantime, more troops hod arrived and kept coming all day aud night. That morning (Sunday) we were ordered into the fort. It was manned by a colored battery of two 12 pounders.

Sieze your pitchforks, your scythes and axes, your bludgeons, anything' rather than submit to this damnable despotism. Why he has robbed us of everything ; our liberties are gone trampled uuder his bloody heel : our property is gone we havo uo property" Uere he proceeded to state "that tho property in the United States all told, and including the Uoverumeut bonds, amounts to eleven thousand millions ; the debt which is lyingiy placed ut eighteen hundred millions, is fully six thousand millions : this taken from the $11,000,000,000 leaves 85,000,000,000, or a thousand millions less than the debt tbe property it under mortgage for. I tell you that if every dollar of gob nnd silver, every acre oT land and every dime's worth of personal property in the United States, were to-day sold for'its full value, it would not pay the national debt by a thousand millions of dollars. Therefore you ure bankrupt, evory man of yon. We have no govemmeut but a des potism, no courts which are not under mili tary durefs tlieir decisions coutroiiea by the tyrant's bayonets. We Lave no churches, our preichers have converted themselves into holy butchers, and go as army chaplains, to incite the soldiers to deeds of horror from which humanity revolts.

These scoundrels have a dreid of majorities, aud iu the face of tho mighty voice of the poople they will crawl into their holes, aud will never be heard gf again, unless the people dig them out, nnd emsi them, as a warning and example to all such reptiles in the future. We copy and endorse the following conimcuts of the American on tho infa mous speech: Wo notice that the Cornmercial, and some other sheets are disposed to ridicule this man Dean, und his inceudiary harangues. . He is uo more a fit obiect ol derision than were Danton nnd Robespierre. His object i3 infinitely worse than theirs. They struggled through anarchy to power. IJis object is simply anarchy am! blood for the sake of plunder, aud tho graliucation ot tne uoiiisn passions of his heart. The ignorant, bigoted crowd which packed the Court House wero evidently wrought up to frenzy by thete appeals. They believed them aud cheired them to the echo. We have no donbt that men of property and intel- hceuce flinonif them, such as rollett, Wmo- garuer, Kvans, and others, were alarmed a, this most infernal and murderous effort to let tho tiger loose upon our cities and citizens ; but ho enme and spoke with their endorso incnt, ond concluded and left without their condemnation. Mr. Follett spoke an hour and a half to hold the audience till Dean could arrive, and then introduced him with a glowing eulogy. - What do theso meu niean t Do they suppose they can conjure diabolism and iufernnlism up from the deeps of ignorance and nassiDn, and tain them loose with torch aud knife, and they themfelves escnpe f Do they suppose that the blood which Dean oromiscd should flow so freely will have none of theirs commingled with it! .
