A yonng wife had busied herself for many days |
In preparing a pleasant surprise for bar husband.
"The work was finished at last.; ood now she
awaited his return, with -a heart full of warm
emotions. A dresefogqrowo, ewd a {pair -of elegantly-fmbroldered
slippers, wrought "by her

To men in the world of business, few days
pass without their dtsafpalutwuiAa and penpfoxitiea.
It fa men's business to bear these in a
manly spirit They form but a portion of life's
discipline, and should maka them stronger, bra*?r,
and wore enduring. Unwisely, and wa may
say unjustly, too, many men fail to leave their
business earsa and troubles in their work-shops
or eouniing-housea, at ths day's decline. They '
wrap them in bundles, and carry them home to
shadow their lnraseholda.
It was so with the young husband on Oriaparticulsr
occasion. Tlie stream of business had
taken an eddying whirl, and thrown bis Teasel
backwards, instead of onwardn for a brief space;
end, though it was still (a the entreat, and gliding
safely onward again, the jar %nd disappointment
bad fretted his mind severely. There was
no heart-warmth in the kits he gave his wife,
wet because lows hod foiled in an* degrse, but
because he bad let ear# overshadow Vera. Bej

Both ton# and manner betrayed her eeeret, or, (
rather, the pocscarion of eeeret with which her i
husband wee to be surprised. Scarcely bed her

thought returned, with n single bound, to the un- I
pleasant events ot the day j and the waters of i
bit life were again troubled. lie had actually
arisen and crossed ths floor one# or twice^ moved \
by a restless concern, when hie wife came back i
with the dressing gown and slippers. She was 1
trying to fores her countenance into s grsve ex- i
pteaelpn, to hold back the smiles that were oon- i
tlnualiy striving to break the truant circles
around her llpa, when a singio glance at her tins- i
band's faee told her that the spirit, driven away t
by the exorcism of her love, had returned again ?
to his bosom. He looked at her soberly as she
came forward. "* i
"What are theeet" ho asked, almost coldly, I
repressing surprise, and affecting an iguoranoe <
that he did not feel In rwsrd tn ih* huniiSil i
present the held io her hand* \
" They are for you, dear," was the reply. N I 1
made them."
" For me 1" he exclaimed; nonsense 1 what do i
I want with each jiracrsekery T This la woman's 1
wear. Do you think I would disfigure my feet 1
with embroidered slippers, or drees up in that <
gown T Put them away, dear. Tour husband <
Is too much ol a man to robe himself io gay ool- j
ore, like a elown or an actor." And he wared s
hie hand with an air of contempt. i
There waa a cold, entering manner about htm,
partly affected and partly real; the result of his
unoomfortable state of mind. Yet he lored bia
sweet wife, and would not, of est purpose, hare
wounded her for the world.
This unexpected repulse, this eruel reception
of her present, over which she bad wrought patiently,
io golden hope, for many days, this dashing
to the earth of her brimful cop of joy, just
m it touched her lipa, was more than the fond
yeung wife could bear. To hide the tsars that
caine rushing to her eyes, she turned away from
her husband; and, to conceal the sobs she had
no power to repress, she went almost.hurriedly
from the room, and, going back to the chamber,
from whenoe she had brought the present, she
laid the articles away out of srght in a closet
Then covering her face with her hands, she eat
down, and strove with herself to be ealm. But
the shadow ml too deep, the heartache too
hewvy.
In * little while her husband followed her,
and-Jieoeveivng, somewhat to his surprise, that
he *m weeping, said, in a slightly reproving
voice, "Why, actually In tearal Whet a allly
little puss you are! Why didnt you tell me
you thought of making ? dressing gown and a
pair of slifpersf I would have vetoed the matter
at once. You oouldn\ persuade me to wear
such flaunting tbioga Oome back to the parlor,"
he said, taking hold ?f her area, and lifting
her from the eh ah-, ? and sing end play for me."
Almoat by foroe he led her back to the parlor, <
and pltotd her en the ususfo itsel He eeleeted
a favorite -piece, and laid It before her. But
tears were In ber eyes, and she could not see ?
note. Over the keys ber fingers passed in skillful
touches; but when she tried to take up the <
words, utterance failed, and nebs broke forth In
their stead. , . , 1
"How foolish 1" said the husband. In n vexed
tone. "I am surpris. d at yon." And he turned
from the pianos aod walked across the room.
A little while the ead young wife remained ?

The little child was dying. Ilie weary limbs

had been for weeks drying up his blood, was

Tmutmett or Pasi* TS?s?.-~-R. Se?mans, of
Cecilton, Maryland, thus gives his plan of treatment
of peaeh tree*, which he cultivates on a
Urge eeele:
"They should be cere fully examined every
year, and all the worms and ova destroyed. A
shovelfull of wood ashes throwmaround the roots
every spring is beneficial. When six years old,
Uie soil should be cautiously removed for about
two feet around the trunk, so as to examine the
root A strong wash of lime and some salt
should then be applied to the top of the root nt
the trunk and for about eighteen inebea above
it, prior to which application the rough lmrk
should be scraped off. The removed soil is left
open for one .week, then placed in its former position.
A yearly examination for worms, o rich
soil, and careful cultivation are nil necessary for
the prosperity of the peach tree."

by a friend and neighbor, a most incorrigible
wag, who recalled to mind his recent ministrations
in the State Prison, and with the utmost
gravity informed him that every one of the men
to whom he preached was under conviction.?
The clergyman, thrown off his guard by the
sanctity of the day, an I the apparent seriousness
of the wag, expressed 'tis great pleasure at the
news, and warmly shook his hands with his
friend. It was not until some time after that the
truth dawned upon his mind. We do not know
what his feelings were when ho made the discovery
; but venture to gners that h*e would have
deemed conviction and sentence to the State
Prison a punishment none too harsh for so atrocious

hut half a man. Without trial you cannot guess
at your own strength. Men do not learn to swim
on a tahle ; they must go into deep water, and
buffet the surges. If you wish to understand
their true character?if you would know their
whole strength?of what they are capable,
throw them overboard. Over with them, and If
they are worth saving, they will Bwim ashore of
themselves.
Jxfteraon's Opinion or Ardent Srrnrre.?The
habit of using ardent spirits, by mea in publie
office, has occasioned more injury to the publie
service, and more trouble to me, than any other
circumstance which has occurred in the internal
concerns of the oountry, during my administration,
and were I to commence my administration,
with the knowledge I have acquired from experience,
the first question I would ask in regard
to every candidate for public office would be?
is he addicted to the use of ardent spirits.
