Andrew Leo came home from bis shop where he had worked all day, tired and out of spirits; j came home to his wife, who was also tired and out of spirits. di b*/ i! ad tv "A smiling; wifo and a cheerful honje-r?a paradiso it would bei" said Andrew to himself, as he turned his eyes from thojclouded face of Mrs. Lee, and .sat down with knitted brows and moody aspect. Not a word was spoken by either. Mrs. Lee was getting supper, and sJjo moved about with a weary 'step. ??Come," she said at last, with a side glance at hor husband. ?? I I (Andrew arose and went \b the table. He , was tompted to kjienk an angry Worth but con trolled himself and kept silent. lib"could find 10 fault with the chop nor * tho homC-nindc bread,/iiqr the fragrant tea, They would'hayo cheered -his in\yard;.niau if thcrp had boou aj gleam of sunshine,on the. face of his, wife. lie j noticed she (lid-not cat....;. - ... 1 "Are, 3*ou not well.

And so, in moody silence,.the twain sat to gether until Andrew had finished his supper As he pushed his chair back, his wife arose and eonniienccd'lcLc'aviiig off the table. "This is purgatory !" said Lee to himself, as he commenced walking the floor of their little breakfast room, .with his bauds thrust despe rately- away down into his-trowsers' pockets,, and.his chip, almost touching his breast.. After YctWOving all the dishes and tuklhg them'into the1 kitchen, Mrs. Leo spread a green cover on tliojab^e, and placing a,fresh trimmed | lamp'th,ere9p, wept out and shujt(th^c doQrafjtcr,! _nerJ;.slea.ying;hor-husband ;nlonc 'with,'hi? tnw\ pleasant-fcolingfo-v >H>c took aiongdcop'breath* as ho did so, ?palts?lV ^hIiis1 walla'st'oo'd still:fi>r some mdmontsy and'wh'dn drawing a paper itf&al his pocket sat down by the table, opened., the sheet,,, and . commenced reading.

It was a coinploto auswer to his question "Praise her for what nnd he felt it iilso n rebuke. IIo read no further, for tlidught came too busy and in a now direction. . Memory was convicting him of injustice to his wife. S' e had always.made, his homo as comfortable for ?him ns her hands could - make it, and had he offered th,p )ight return of praise or oommonda tiou? ?' Had he over told lior of tho Satisfac tion he hauukiiown, or the comfort he had ex pericuccdi' lie was not able to recall the time or occasion. As he thought ,thus.

But bo was not ready tliis yet- lie Still felt moody .and unfor giving, i The .oppression; of bis yvifc's. fiice ho Interpreted to mean ill-nature, .for which) he had no patience. His eyes fell upon the nc\Vsr\apcr that lay spread but before Him, and bo'read the sentence: : '' I -F'A kind; gentlei word, spoken in a gloomy house, is . the little .rift in the cloud that lets the sunshine through.". \ <ti i .. . i ?. >v.: fit1n. m . .'-.i'... Lee struggled with himself a while longer. I His owu ill-nature had to be conquered first; his moody, accusing spirit had to be subdued.

At last, lean ing toward, her, and taking hold of the shirt bosom upon which she was at work, be said in a voice carefully modulated with kindness; "You nre'doing the'work beautifully, Mary." Mrs: Lee made no reply. But her husband did uot fail to notice that she- lost almost in stantly that rigid crcctucss with which she had been sittinir, nor that tltc motion of her needle boused. j <;My shirts arc'better liinde, ;md whiter than those of any man in'tbc shop," said Lee, en couraged to go ou.

She did turn her lace, but her husband saw that she leaned a little towards him, He had broken the ice of rcsei ve. and all was easy now. His hand was among the clouds and a feeble ray was al ready struggling through the rift it had made. uYes, Mary," he answered softly ; "and I've beard it more than once what a good wife An drew ?JjCo;must have:" Mrs. Leo turned her Face towards ,her husband. There wa.s light in it. and lischt,.in bar nyn. liut tbo>-> mus ?r>Mip_ thing lit the expression of the countenance that a little puzzled him. :"Don't you think so?" she asked, quite so berly. '?What a .question !" ejaculated Andrew Lee, starting up, and going round to the side of the table where his wife was sitting. "What a question. Mary !" he repeated as he stood before her. "Do you r" Tt was all she said. '?Ye.^, darling." was his warmly spoken an swer, and ho stooped down and kissed her. 'jllow strange that yuu should ask nie such a question!" ''If you would only tell me so now and then. Andrew, it would do me good." Mrs. Loo arose, and leaning her face against the manly breast of her husband, stood and wept. What a strong light broke in upon the mind of Andrew^ L'cciVi.
