'Stephen Thirsko, was a genuine Yorkshire man, long-headed, shrewd and sturdy?serving Mammon with all his might in the great brick the lory where he worked six hundred 'hands.' There everything went on so promptly and regularly that it was evident one dominant will ruled. But no man is absolute; and if Stephen ruled his six hundred'hands' like an autocrat, he shrunk at home into the obedient slave of one little, pell<d woman. Mrs. Thiisko had been a great beauty, delicate and jjrnt'.e. Stephen had begun his mar ried life by a tender submission to the frailty what was such a contrast to his own rude health, and now the little woman he could carry like a baby; ruled him like a czari.ta. It was impossible to retrace tho gl adual steps by which this iuflueutio hud been gained. Thirsko was man crouch to know that it was fata1 to Iiis home-happiness ami his family's welfare, and to make occasional de terminations (o reform things; but us yet they had come to nothing. Ho could not bear his pretty Lydia's tear:; and tho man who would not tolerate the slightest opposition from (he world, sacrificed anything and everything in his home for peace. They had two children, a son and daughter?and as they reached man hood and woman hood, the evils of a household under such natural con trol manifested themselves?for if Mrs. Thirsko ruled her husband, \ninny and Ada ruled her. Ada was a beauty, and had not watched ier mother's tactics in vain. '1 shall rule George Aske, as uoiher rules father,' she said one night to her brother, in reply to his assertion that 'Oeor-ife Aske would make her know her own miild better.' i 'I m'h'i you be too sure of that Ada ?there are men, and inen. I know tiit woman could manage mj that way.' ' I low does Mary Mutton manage you '! Antony, you nughi to be isliaiued of yourself ! A poor go v er ne s.' 'I am hot, though. Why .should 1 Mm have my way as well as you and mother ? You are going to marry for jiorilion; my wav is to marry the girl I love.* 'Father will never consent, nor 1 either/ ? '1 don't propose to ask your con sent. I shall get'mother on my side, and then father's got to yield. As for you, Ada, I should not wonder if your own affairs will very soon k:cp your hands full enough.' 'It is not very brotherly to be look ing fc?r trouble to keep your sister's hands full.' 'You are prepai ihg it for yourself; Ada; any one who is determine to rule George Aske, by petting and sulking. 1 saw his look the other night.' 'Let him look?he yielded!' 'lie yielded then, but one hundred to one he does not yield two weeks i junger.' ' Keep your opinion, Antony, but don't bother mother with Mary Mill ion, until I am married. 1 don't want her to be sick till my affairs aro settled.' 'I am going to ask her to-night?if you don't want to be sick, you had belter say a good word for Mary.' Ada was wise in her generation, and went right to Mrs. Thirsko. ?.Mother,' she said, Antony is com ing to speak to you to-night about Mary Mutton. Don't worry yourself ? it is only one of his fancies. Just promise, him all he wants until my wedding is comfortably over, then you can tell father rthd have ti stop put to his nonsense.' 'O, dear me, Ada ! It docs seem as if no one minded my feelings. You both know I must have pence, and yet I suppose I am to be worried into a fever about this Miss Button.' 'Well, mother, don't make Antony angry to-night; say enough to keep things smooth until next week Hover. I don't want him to be sulky at my j wedding.' .So Antony found his mother in one of her gentlest muods. Sho listened patiently to his confession of love for his sister's late governess, and answered : 'Have I not always wished lb make you happy in your own way, Antony ? If Miss Hutten is necessary to your happiness, why, I will speak to father about her after Ada's wedding. It won't do before il, indeed it won't.' Antony was very grateful. Love is always hopeful, and he wc^*tKo see Mary that night, quite confident in his mother's final success. A few days afterwards Ada was married to the richest commoner in Airedale, and the presumptive heir of Tow ton j baioue.ley. Aske was deeply enamor ed of her beauty, but by no means the man to he its slave. Many things riva'ed Ada iu her heart, even iu the ' earliest days of her married life; his estate, hi.s hunters, county matters, | and politics. lie was an English gentleman of the old order, an J had no very exal ted ideas of women, except as tho mis tresses of households and the mothers of children. Ada's efforts to establish a female autocracy in Aske llall soon came to disastrous failure. At first George 'pooh ! poo bed !' her orders and tried to laugh away her petting and tears. But he was not the man to put him self out of the way for an unreason able woman, and even this concession was soon given up. In three months it had come to a simple announcement of his inten tions, and a perfect indifference as to how .>lie accepted them. Thus he won hi say : 'Ada, I am going to meet the Tow ton hounds in the morning?you had better go with me?a gallop will do I you good.' Hut if Ada met the request with a nagativc of any kind, he accepted it> without demur?and if this produced tears or complaints, he generally be gan to whistle and left the room. This 'rudeness' brc light on passion-i t c I attacks of hysteria, and George went j to the hunt, and sent .the family physician to watch her through them. \ cry soon poor Stephen had a double burden of household trouble j j to bear. Ada began to bring her wrongs and humiliations home, and Mrs, Thirsko warmly espoused her cause. A complaining daughter and a weeping wife were enough to make the most splendid house miserable, and they were but the elements out of which far greater troubles were to come. In tho mean lime Antony's affairs were equal I) unsatisfactory. Mrs. J Thirsko had spoken to Stephen about Mary llulton, ami for the first time iu her married life admitted a failure. Antony would not believe that she had done her best, and he forgot iu this one denial the ninety and-ninc unreasonable favors she had before pi ecu red him. Stephen's opposition Id Miss Hut ton was sulky and positive. He dar ed not, in the first [dace, disobey his wife's orders to forbid the match. In the second, he was angry at I he authors of ll is new element ?fdis coin fort in his home. In the third, he was not prepared financially to support another household. Ada's settlement bail been a great drain up on his business; he had had other losses, and another wedding and house furnishing, with the increased allowance necessary to maintain it, was really beyond his present means. Ho was quite sensible of this last, reason, but he did not want to admit it even to his wife and son, so ho sud denly and authoritatively forbid Antony to marry any one at present; and for some months there was a groiving feeling of anger between father and 'son. Then one day, after a sib 1 my interview, Antony left his homo without a word of farewell, and Stephen, too proud and angry to seek after him, had to bear, in addition to his own sorrow and disapoiiitment, the mother's fretful reproaches and I anxiety. The very day on which Antony left his home Ada returned to it. There had been between her nnd Gcorgo AsitG a wearisome succession of fierce disputes, and at length, in a moment intense passion, Georg? had struck his wife. Mrs. Thirsko was dumb before two such sorrows, and was really ill, and .Stephen was danger ously angry. Askp suffered three days to pass and then sc til lor Ada. Ada refused to return, and Mrs. Thirskc suppor ted her in the refusal. Jn a week Aske's nicssages became so insolent that Stephen was compelled to reply to I hem, aud the poor lather, against his sense of what was best lor his child and himself, was forced into supporting the refractory wife. In tolerable words passed between the husband ?ml falber, and when they next met they instantly gave each j other the Yorkshircmnn's warning? ri word and a blow, and the blow ?rst. After that it was open enmity, and I Stcpcn was well aware that ho was iil arincd to light so rich and so bitter an enemy. Aske's revenge was a sub tile one. He began within a week to I build on the same stream as Stephen's1 j ti much lager mill. Stephen winced at the coming coin petition but had not at first any idea of Askc's real motive. When the mill was finished he f lochet}' the sti cam, and thus, as his mill stood higher up than Steph en's, deprived hint of the -water when ever he felt disposed to do so. ?lie had no right to do this.' Of cairse he had not. He knew that very well, and quite anticipated the lawsuit which would follow. But in the meantime the Askc mill kept Stephen's virtually idle, Asko was making money enough to defray the expenses of the -weary lawsuit which 'was'' fns'C*cvippTing'-'Stfcphcn in all of his resources. Kvery one knew that Stephen was .l ight and at first ho found many sup porlers. Hut it was A she's policy to wear out Thirsko, and as month after I month and year after year went on, j and Stephen grew poorer and poorer, I and more desperate and unreason able, even his friends gladly seized the j pretext of his imprudence to desert him. At the end of four years ho was ruined nnd the presence of the man's wife who had ruined hi.'ii, in his house, was no peculiar comfort. One night a strange longing for his son came over him; he was in so much trouble that he cculd not put away his anx ieties oven lo soollie Lydia, and leav ing her and Ada to lind what comfort they could in each other, he went to seek Mary 11tittoti. She still lived in a quiet street of Etna!! housed in the lower part of the town, and when khc answered his re nnest to speak to her, be was not as tonished at Antony's love But it angered him nevertheless; and though it was always hard for Stephen to be cross to a beautiful woman,be!suiila sharply : 'Where is my son, lass?' ' I n iNcw York, sir.' 'What is he doing there ?' 'Making a home for mo and my father, sir.' ' Write and hid him come to his own father. You may loll him I'm a ruin ed man?a ruined man, lass. You'll make naught by marrying Antony Thirsko now, Mary.' '1 am very Sony for you, Mr. Thirskc. You may believe nie or not; and I will write and tell Antony what you say.' But before Antony could return, tilings had como to a crisis with Thirskc. lie had won bis case?and been ruined in tho winning of it. He was a complete bankrupt, and mill and homo went under the sheriffs hummer. There may be places where 'illreo failures and a lire make a man's fortune,' but it is not in Yorkshire Even tho personal property of the unfortunate bankrupt was sold, and Ihc ruined wore thankful to accopt in the menntimo tlio? shelter of tho governess's littlo homo. Now, however, that Stopbon had met the worst aud faced it, all his pluck returned. He easily got li posi tion in a friend's factory, aiid began to slowly gather around him again the comforts of a much humbler home. A much happier one, though?for these terrible changes had at length reversed the unnatural order of things. Wbeu Stephen was utterly bowed down, suddenly Lydia Thirsko rose up, and took her true and natural position ns comforter and helpmate. It almost consoled the weary husband for all his losses to have found at last his true wife. Antony also had written loving and hopeful loiters?and it was likely t' at he would be able lo come for Mary the next summer. They wei c all sor ry now to think of parting w ith her, for she had been so helpful and cheer ful in these dark days, that it was hard to imagine the cottage without her. Adversity has many learned di ciplcs, and Ada h.nl not been to its school without benefit. It was in.pos sible for her not to reproach herself with her father's ruin, and Ihough no one else had done, it, the voice of so- i ciety universally condemned her. She remembered, too, that however re vengeful nr.d hateful Aske had been, she herself had done her best to call forth those qualities?he had al first tried to be very patient an I kind with her. One morning as she was sitting sewing to some such bitter thought as these, she lifted a paper and rca 1 this paragraph : 'On Monday last, Aske, of Aske j llall, while hunting with the Towtoh hounds, was thrown, and it is feared fatally injured.' She sat still thinking a few niinu- j te.?, and then, without a word to any j one but Mary Hut ton, left the house. Two hours afterwards she was iu -ArkerHitH, holpiivg to-r?onthc-roviiTg:r of i s delirious master. Calmly but resolutely she to k her p'aeo, and i:i the long dreary weeks of watching and darkness that followed, learnt many a wholesome! lesson; Her great fear now was that the injury to the brain was permanent, and that her husband won! 1 never know her long enough to pardon lier. But one hii;ht. ns she stood looking tenderly nt the pale, shrunken face, ho slowly opened his eyes and said iu a whisper: 'Ada !' 'Gcerge, dear George f and the kiss that sealed her forgiveness was the remarriage of their hearts and lives; But Aske was many months a help less invalid; and it was almost a year afterwards that Ada was going gently about the room, packing things tor a journey with him to the .sunny skies of Italy lie watched her some time, and then said : 'Ada, I may never come back?1 feel very weak. I wonder if your father would see me lie lore I go.' The next morning Stephen Thirsko stood by his enemy's side, and. his eyes were full of tears. 'You are in belied changed George.' 'Yes, Thirske, you have won at last. Let us shake hau ls. The mill we fought about I have given to Ada, and she gives it to you The papers arc here?I want to see them signed.' But, Aske?' 'Don't deny me this grace, Thirske ?if I have lo die, I shall die the eas ier for it. If I iivd 16 come back, I want to come back among friends. It is your own. No blessing has conic to me since I built it.' So when Antony came to Mary he did not go back again, lie joined his father in the Aske Mill, and in ten years the linn of 'Thirske & Son' were the leading manufacturers of Airedale again*. Thero are evils that, happen for good. Stephen and Ada found iu poverty and anxiety the true relation of man and wife. Stephen never again sohl, 'Anything lor peace'? and Ada learnt that it is better to win a husband than conquer him? better to rule with him than to rule over him. If you can't be a light house, says Mr. Moody, 'bo a candle.' Plenty of lie girls would rather be ball a match. Lovo in Humble Lifo. In Eust Boston, a few woos since, was horny to the grave, a maiden wife id'not less than twenty years of age. Her husband and lover, a young man of twenty-three, was a mechanic. They had loved each other from childhood, and were to have been married some six or seven month.-) since, when she was prostrated by consumption. Nearly all his leisure (rout labor was passed at her bedside, cheering her with prospects of restor ed health ami a life of happiness; but tho fell disease was too firmly im planted in her system to leave any hope of her recovery. When tho physicians informed her that dc.ith was inevitable, she expressed a desire to partake of the .Sacrament of tho Lord's Slipper, and her wish was gratified. Her lover procured a car riage, sat by her side, and bore her in his arms to and from the Lord's table. She. returned to her bed never again to leave it in life. About a fortnight before her death, she said that sho had only one earthly wish ungrati fied; she desired to he united to him who had loved her so long, and so truly, in the hope of being his in heaven. He could deny her nothing ? he married death. Bolstered up by pillows, ami supported by the embrace of her mother, she was united to her lover; her feeble voice was hardly audible in responding to the questions of the marriage ceremony. Sho was his. ami said she could die without re gret. From then unil she passed away, she w s unable to speak above a whisper; but she appeared happy, and though wasted to skin and bone, a pleasant smile left its impress on her face as her soul returned to God wdio gave it. ^ Many cases have becu recorded of people being married on the brink of the grave, to accomplish some mater ial ( iii:?stu b as to give a legal titlo to property, or to render an act of long delayed justice; but rarely or never have WC heard of poor peoplo marrying under such circumstances, purely for love. The stern realities of life press so hardly upon the laboring poor, that the finer feelings of their souls have to make way for the cares and toil of provi ling for the wants of the body. The only legacy which this affec tionate maiden left her husband was a lock of her hair, and a favorite copy of the Bible. Young Positi vist?(Clc rgy in an makes a pastoral call?lady brings forward her son of 8 years to be ex amined as to Ins theological senti ments)- -Pastor : "What is a mir acle?" Boy : "Dunno."
