"I havo tickets for tho concert tonight, Annie," said James Henley, coining into the sittiDg room, where his wife was working the sewing machine with a busy whirr. "Oh, James, how I wish I oould go!" The light died away, from her husband's face in a second. "Wish you could go, Anuio ! Why, of course you can go," "I can't, James. I must finish these three dresses before Suudav, and it will take every minute." "Three drossos I" "For Jeunie, Susan and Lottie. It is Easter Sunday, you know, and all thoir Spring things are ready but these dress ? cs." "But this is only Wednesday" "I know, James, but look at the work; there are ov??r?skirts to all of them, and ruffles on all the waists: Jenuie's has three fiounoes. All the children in the congregation are well dressed, James.? v~?* ?w.? nr? afford */> put the sewing out, so I must do it. "Let the children dress more simply, then. (Jome, Annie, stop that buss tor once, and come to this concert," ''Can't you go ?" "And leave you ? I oould not enjoy it if I knew you were stitohing here.? Come." . With a heavy sigh, as if Jnmes were ezaodng a sacrifice instead of jgiying her a pleasure, Annie left the room and wont to her own apartment to dress for the oonoeri. ,. All through the evening, whilo her husband drank in the sweet sounds in whioh he delighted, Annie, with h%r face all polite interact, was thioking ef the unfinished work* "Was it not delightful," James said, aa they walked home in the soft spring moonlight*' i . . "Dolightful 11 am glad I went, James. Mrs. Gordon had en her new Spring dress, and her dresses all oome from London. The trimming on her basque b quite a new style, sod I am sura I can put Jennies en in the same stylo." Sunday morning shoneelear and cloud less. Mrs. Henley bad put the last stitch into Lottie's dress ss the oloek struck twelve, and she wakened with a pain in her ohest, and a head aelte, but a feeling ot triumph. Her ohildreu would wear their new things that had cost nothing but the material. Nothing ! Mrs. Hefttly did not estimate the hours spent over the maehine. the weariness, the neglect of many little duties. There had been no actual money laid out in dressmaking, so it was elear gain on the { material. Very protty tho children looked when they were ready for ohnroh. Jennie end Susan, twins of ten years old, were dress ed alike, in delicate pearl oolor, trimmed with bine, and hats of the neweet shape and bine ribbon. Lottie wore oeris trimming, for Lottie Was a brunette uf seven. The cbtrgos at starting fur Sunday school were? "Be lure yon lift your ovorskirte when you ait down. Don't lean back upon the streamer* of your hate, aod walk where you will not spoil your light boots. Don't strain your gloves.' "Overdreeeod, Annie/' remarked Mr. Heoley. "Your owu dreesoe aro pot more elsborato " 'It 1? the fkshion, now, to cut child ren^ dresses liko ladies.'. But you ough t 10 be proud of yoor children, James.? Krorybodv compliments me on the taste with which I drees them.",' "Annie," Mr. Qenley said suddenly, leiding his wife to ? mirror, "look at yoor own faoo." "Well,* she snid, wondering what he could mean. "Your oheeka are as white as ohalk ; thero is a hoary line under your eyes, end your whole air is thet of * woman who is worked to dettlt.' "James, wliat nonsense.' "It is not nonsense. I wish it was ? Fife years ago you had the complexion of a ohild, as olaarand rosy ss Susan's. Your eyes were tlm bright, foil of eni i nation. You had yoong children, a house to keep in order, and just helfour present inoome. Yet you ooutd find leisure then for a daily walk, oould reed In the evening or sing for me, could en joy an oeeasional evening of social pleas ure, or some entertainment, 1 had a wife then.' "James, whet do yon mean ?' ) "I mean, that in the pleoe vf my hep* py, neauny wtfe, i bavo now * sickly, over-worked witraw Those dolls that have just sons oat, hare nooo of the grane of childhood. They ere fast becoming little pieoes of rsohj, ell ab sorbed Id their finery. Their underelo* thing wool 1 do for signs in sa emporium of linen, with the embroidery raffles snd tacks.' "fiat I do it all myself, James.' "Exactly. You are stitohing your lift out, into the garments of Tour chik drcn, who would be far happier, health ier sod better in the simple clothing suit ed to their year*.' "Ob, I am well enough, I am pole to day because I est op late lest night.? But I must dress for church, or we shall be late*" The glad Easier feervioo passed orer Mrs. Henley with bnt little impression. To her chagrin, the little QoodwinS who had sll their dresses direct from London, had sn entirely new style of over-skirt, thst made Jennie, Sussn and Lottie look quite old fashioned ia tbe sight of their mother. Summer came, and the long Spring days were spout in preparing a seaside wardrobe for the children, for Mr. Henley by the advioe of his physician, was going to take liia wife to the seaside. The pain in her side had become Yery troublesome, and thefe was a Itttle back ing cough, that meant wakefhl nights. Tbe pale cheeks were seldom tinged with a healthy color and her eyes wcro heavy and languid. People spoke pity ingly of Mrs. Henley aa 'quite an inva lid," and her husband mourned over the alb-ration in hia wife. He iuaisted upon having a physician, who advised frosb air and exercise, and a tonic. And Annie obodiontly swallowod the tonic and took a daily walk, and then made up for lost time by siitchinjf at night. For were not the Goodwius, the Wilcoxes, and all the leading fash ionables of Langston going to tho same place where Mr. llcnloy lmd tukeo rooms, and could Susan, Jennie snd Lottio have ono inch less ruffling and tuckiug than they possessed ? Ho only shrugged bis shoulders when bis little girls miaoed along with dainty, finc-lmly airs, inptcaJ of bouuding with the freedom of childhood. Ho boro the steady whirr of the sowing machine in the evening, instead of the voice or mu sio of his wife. But when Annie's health began to give way he exercised his authority, and found he had been silent too long. But, the summer wardrobes completed, the dainty dresses trimmed, the trunks packed, Annie faithfully promised Jam** to rest duriug the summer sojourn at the scaaido. With a sudden consciousness of growing weakness there came to hor au appreciation ofheHjusbaod's growing lovo and pntiJUMttflHMocu- named. She 1>eg*tl to r&mm^uaffl^^ A-a ambition for fires* overshadow her love tor her husband, and that she had. wronged him Ita depriving him of the companionship she had prised so highly. "I will rest while 1 am gone, tad when I come baek, James. I will give my evenings to yon as I did when we tfero first married." That was her parting promise, never to be exacted. Only a few days reat were allowed her before an acute attack oflang fever proatrated her. Jame^ left hie business to fyurry to the seaside a nnrao was engaged, and modical akill did its utmost. But the constitution,' weakened by oonfiaement and overwork, could not resist the disease, and while the summer days were still in their fufltf beauty Mrs. Henley knew that she wae dyiug. It was a bitter thought Life held so rnueh that was precious1*, her kind, lov ing husband, her beautiful children, her happy home, all theee must be left. uA mysterious dispensation of Provi denoe,' aaid Mrs. Goodwin; ' such s good mother, and thoso children are just the age when they moat need a mother's carp." Annie Henley, in the dread hour whon she bade farewell to hope, wound her arms around her husbands neck and sobbed? "If I bad only listened to you, James, I might have boon a guide to our chil dren, a companion to yon for many years, and when I died, have left loving memories, instead of a trunk foil of fine clothing. I have wasted my life." And James Henley, in his widower's weedsuwitb his three little girls in som bre black beside him, wonders mournful ly how many mothers of tho isnd are wusting their live, in tho same struggle for appearance. On the Battle Field. A recent writer truly says : I believe no two good soldiers will widely disagreo as to tlieir sensations during a battle. I take it to be a pieoe of bravado in any man to assort that he had no fears during the progress of a long and Severe engagement. A battle is a veritable bell ? upon oarth; not to be in serious apore henslon while it lasts, is to bo either drunk, orasy or insensible. Tito highest type of bravery is. that of the man who realises the full extent of the peril, but sticks resolutely to his duty. It was my I experienoo, and that of all those about me, repoatod a dosen times, thst shell firiug is not ordinarily near so demoral ising as that of musketry. It is not of* ten that shells are thrown so that their fragments scattor death and wounds, and their loud humming overhead does not oaus??tbat nervous tingling whioh al ways follows the sharp sip of a rifle bul-' let. Tho peouliar euttiug of the sis made by half * dotcn of these at once is apt to give the soldier the idee that the whole air is filled with them, aod that he is certain to be struok by one of IWk _ ' .

The following is no less admir&blo as ? description of a baby than as an ^cam ple of a koen eense of the proper place at which to pot a full atop : Did you over watch a dear little babj waking from its morning nap ? It is one of the pi etticst sights >u the world. Thero is the crib with its small preparations and buowj drapery that covers somcthiog, outlined round add plump. There is nothing to reveal what it is, not the slightest movement of the pillowed whiteness that is visible?no sound to indicate keeucst actual life, until the hour hand of the clock, that seutincl, j like yourself, bus twice inado its circuit, j Then thero is a slight pulsing in the white drapery, a small, pink, tremulous hand, fair pa a rosobud, is thruxt out, and from the nest thus broken into ap pears a round dimioutivo face, with wide eyes that have uot much speculation in thein. Soon, howovcr; they ccaso to stare, and become questioniug, serious as if wondering what kind of a world it is they open upon; and tho head lifts itself just a little, and two soow white feet stand up spasmodically, with a jimul tancous movement, each toe of which has an Attendant dimple. But the head is too heavy?it fulls baok on tho pillow with its own sweet weight, the hair all damp and golden?the checks peachy? the mouth pouted, as if tho angels kiss it in dreams. A first lingering go o o comes from its rosy depths, 6wccter than any bird's soug| for it has a spirit tone and yet retains a thrill of its native skies. Tho cubby hands aro lifted im ploringly, peisuusively?tho baby is awake and ceases to be au augel. French Household Economy.

Tie houscwifo orders just enough fur each person, and no more, even to the coffer. ir a chance visitor drops in, somebody quietly retires and tho extra cup is so provided, but nothing extra by careless. dobs or inattention.

The egg kid to-day costs a little moro than the one laid last week. Values aro nicoly estimated,and the smallest surplus is careAilly saved. A thousand little economics are practioed and it is respectable to praciioe them. Cooking is an economical art, as well as a sanitary and gustatory science. A French oook will moke a franc go as far as an American servant and nobody knows ?should probably be greatly astonished oould the computation be made?how much of the financial, recuperative pow or of France is owing to her soups and her ohcap food; better living, after all, than the heavy bread and greasy failur es of our culinary ignoranoe. II ATINO.-Hate no one. It is not worth while. Your life is not long enough to make it pay to oherish ill will or hard thoughts toward any one. What if this man has cheated you,or that wo? man played you fulse ? What if this friend has forsaken you in time of need, or that oue having won your utmost o in fldence, your warmest love, has coucludcd that he preform to consider and treat you as a stranger? Let it all pass. What diiTerenco will it tnako to you in a few years, when you go to tho undiscov ered country? A few more smiles, a few moro pleasures, much pain, a little longer harrying aud worryiug through the world, some hasty greeting ana abrupt farewell, aud our pluV* will be "played out," tho injurod will bo led away and ere long forgotton. Is it worthy to hato each other? A Touching Incident.?A noble man who died a few years since, had a chest %Jl locked up, but marked 'To be moved first in ohso of fire.' When he died, his friends openod that chest, supposing, of course, that some valuable document or deed of property, rich jew elry or oostly plato would bo found in it. But what did thoy find ? They found the toys of his little child who had gone before him. Richer to him were they than all tho world's wealth, richer than his oofonct; brighter thau all the jewels that sparkled on its crcst. Not bis estate, not his jewols, not his equipage, nothing glorious and groat iu this world ; but the dearest objects to him wore the toys of his little chili. Mutual Tot.kration.-~T)io house will always be well kept in turmoil where there is no toleration or lenity shown to each other's failings, no woek submission to injuries, no soft answers to turn away wrath.

A little more than three huDdred years ago, there lived in Eugfoud a young girl whom the world yet remem ber, tor her beauty, hor goodneeand death, llcr name was Lady Jano Gray, and she waa the daughter of Heory Grey, mar. quia of Dorset, and great grand daughter of Henry Vll, former kiug of England. Though the Lady Jane was scarcely more than a ehild in years, she waa an expert needle-womau, aa accomplished musician, could speak and write French IaIiq aod Greek, and koew something of Hebrew and Arabio also. She loved study so well that it waa with difficulty she could be persoudod to join in sports suited to hor youth and station. When she was sixteen she was mar ried to Gailford Dudley, a boj of sov euceen, the fburth son of John Dudley, duke of Northumberland. This mar riage waa not of her own choioo, bat she consented to it beoause it was tho desire of her friends. When the cercmony was over, she begged to bo allowed to return homo to her mother uutil elio and bcr young husband should becotno olJor, and to this they oousentod. When my young readers get older, they will read about the wicked king, Henry VIII, of England, who had six wives, and divorced or killed five of them. This king, when he died, left one son and two daughters. His son, a mer* boy, and in delicate health, wrs now king. If this king should not live, it was uncertain whether his sisters would be considered by Parliament as entitled to the throne. If Parliament re fusod to rccoguire either of the young princesses as a proper successor to her bio. her, then tho legal heir to the throne of England was this young maiden, the ijady Jane Grey. A few weeks after the Ijady Jane's ninrriagc, King Edward VI died. Her husband's father sent for her, and upon her arrival tho great lords of the royal council dashed in, kneeling at her foet proclaimed her qneen. . She was so shocked ot this sudden news of the death of the king, her dis tant cousin and dearly-loved companion, that she fainted away. When she re covered from her fainting fit she refused to accept the crown, saying that she had no right to it while the priuoe*sos Mary and Elizabeth were alive. But she was told that tho lato king had signod a de* croc making her his successor. Then with modesty, humility and piety, she accepted the crown, though she would much rather have been left in her quiet retired and studious life. And now sco the reason why hor marriage was forced upon hor. Her father-in-law, the duko of Northumber- , land, expected by this marriago to make I his son a king. When sho discovered that this was his intention, she positive ly refused to permit it to be done, and said to her husband, who began to whimper over his disappointment: MTue crown is not a plaything for boys and girls. I can make you a duke; none but 1'arliamcDt nan make you a king." Though sho waa scarooly more than a child, she remained firm to her decision agaiust the remonstranoes of the duke, ber father-in-law, and the npbraidiors of the duchess, his wife. When she was proclaimed queen all the people received her with joy. Only ono person, a boy, dared to object, and he lost his ears in oonsequenoe, Never theless, in but nine days after, the Eng lish people proclaimed the princess Mary, the eldest daughter of Heniy VIII, the rightftil heir t? the throne, as sho undoubtedly was. Alter Mary became queen abe reluo tantly signed the warrant for tho death of the lady Jond and hor boy husband. So, seven months after sho asoended the throne, this queen of nine days found hersolf accused of high treason, a prison er in tho Tower, and oondemuod to die. On the morning of their execution, the 12th of February, 1554, her hus band sent for hor to take a last farewell. She sent word baolc that there was no use of such parting. '-Toll him," raid she, "that in a few hours we shall meet in heaveu." She calmly watched the cart which bore tho body of her husband away from the place of execution. Then dres s *1 in black, with a prayer-book in her hand, "a heavenly smile on her fitoe, a tender light in hor gray eyes," she pats* ed modestly through the files of troop ers and ascended the scaffold. Turning to tho spectators, she acknowledged her* self guilty of treason, but declared it was not by her own will, "but by the council of those who appeared to have better understanding of such things" than she. After bogging the prayers of thoso present, and making a prayer herself, sho laid her head upon the block; the execur tiooer begged her pardon for what W was about to do, which she freely gave him : the blow fell, and hor earthly troubles wcro over.
