1YISCELLA11EOUS, Froin Anhaur'sI Home Gazette. THE REFORMED COUPLE, naY LINDA i.iNwooD. CIIAt-i'I: 1 . We begin our story by describin th. possessions of tihe lj' incipal actors thereinl. In one of the. Statheni States there is a pretty white house, halt-hidetn fromt the view by the tilinge of t ree ; lean tifidI gree.w ard la.d various kinds of shrubbery adorn the yard in foint. About thirty yards distatnt, in the background, are three neat cottages for servants, each with a shade tree in front and a garden in its rear. No di lapidated fences, no fields overrun wit h briars, are to be seen. IB ight tassel ed coin is rustling in the sua nner breeze; cotton, with a profusion of red and white blossoms, gives pronise of an abundant yield-a well-t imnaed orchard is bending benteath its Iand of fruit-snow white si.eep, and pliump, sleek cattle are contentedly grazing ill rich pastures, where singing rills run joyously amid beautiful wilIthws, whie bend gracefully over their bright tea tern. IHenry Wentworth is proprietor of this lovely and iell cultivated fiarm, and it is his guiding mind that keeps every thing in such tine order. fle has been for three years as married nana his wife is young and beautiful-they have a lovely bato t who has begun, to saile on his parents, and is the delight of the fatil), which has also an. ther miemiber. the thir and gentle Marion Wentworth, the only sister of the hus band, whom she loves with all the warmth of a sister's heart. lie and his wife, with their child, are all the world to her now, that her parents are gone from earth, and she has no other near relatives. She and Fanny Wa ters(now her brother's wit)have loved each other from childhood, and her presence in the family adds to the en joyment of all. No mercenary motive caused this young couple to unite their destinies, and it seems as though there can be nothing to prevent their enjoying as much happiness as ever fulls to the lot of humanity--but this is not the case. Had Henry Wentworth been as careful to keep a well ordered maind as a neat farm-had lie been as anaxious to root angry passions from his heart as to destroy evil weeds froan among his plants, peace would now be dwelling n his breast, and presiding over his household. Instead of ruling his own spirit, he indulged in a fretful, fault finding disposition. THis anger somne times rose so high, that loud and se. vere language was used. I lis servants were, however, so accustomed to this, that it threw not over their counte nances the gloom of discontent. "Doun't feel bad itf miaster Ihenry does scold mighty hard somietimies,' sail they to the servanmts Fanny brought there. "He's just lijke old master sort o' childish, buit ayou must take care to mind hinm1 or he'll send you oft lie never keeps folks aabouat him that don't do the'ir btest to please him. H-e is a right gooad maaster' iaa saaaie things. lie gives us~ good victuals and clothes, taikes miighty good care of us whean we are sick, and gives us pleni ty of-timie to wvork crops for ourselves. The servaants were tno. mniserable. for each had a family uimele. whiereina they might love anad be baeloved. Mariona was not unhatppy, for she had bent her neck to thec easy yoke of Christ, from whom she received suchl strength, that every burdelun was light for her. But Fannay, havinag loved hera husband with all the warmth of youth ful atTetion, could not, be happy when treated with unikitndness by him. She had not learned to truast in God, and such a heart, wvhen deprived of earthly love, is apt to become a desolate wiaste. Henry WVen twortha lad a re imakable -horror of being governed by a wife. Sincee his aaaarriaage, lhe hand hearid it said, of an acquaiiitanice, that his-wife, led him where she pleased. To be thus spokena of he conasidered a dee'p dis grace, aud resolved niot to botar such a cba'racter- before the worald. In conse quence of-this resolutioni, several dlisa greeabile circumstances took place, one of which weo will relate. Fanny wished to have rose-buishes ln the yard. H~enry said he d.isliked thema, because they were so liale~ tea spread. "We will not permit this," said she; "Marioni and I will be happier if we are permitted to look on the roses, iand enjoy their fr agraunco. I thinak yon can hardly deny uts so inniocenat, a leasuire. As she said this, she looiked so * pleadingly and smiled So sweetliy. thuat he was on the point of yieldinig, but a foolisht fear of losing his authority prae vailed, and he replied. "I shall not peramit thern to growv ini the vard." Wenitworth to drawv a painful con trast between her husband anid her-par ents, who, after she arrived at years' of'disoretion, deniied her no rerb'iest, without miakinag hier uanderstand that to grant it would be impioper. What a pity that any man should detny lh wift eheap and innoacenat gratilientions, 'merely to show the strength of hia wills - At first, when UIenry Wenitwortia be.gan to speak harsfily to his wife, con, science reproved hima; buit ianmb iatnate. * I ~y he had read mnaay~ essaays on tht duties of wiives, and scarcely any good advice for husb~ands.

Ie then walked to the head of the .a Isle, toal -k the eflree plot an I poured its smoking entenats ont ol the window. F11anny burst into tears and left the roama. "N'w you ar' goinag away to pout," was hais ualeeliag remark. "Oh. harother, how can you do so?" said Marien. "Yu will kill Fanny.'' "I'll tena her to make better coflee,' said he. "liat let me assure you, I shall allow ait) one to interifere iaa the ianageaent of may wife." Lon;g and bittetly did the young wi!e weep, but nt length rectllectitg that her child i'ight.

Naitotn spoke "Little libt ly still leeps; come, cat sinaatethingt bet'f weL he awa!kes." "O' if IItsll ry were like you, how happy shaouihl I lie,' said Fanny, ain.l the tesars againa rainae1 down her thee. iMlarion put her arms artaud her, aid also welt. A a leagth, she said "I believe Ileia ry is lfen grieved with himtsell' 1 r his unkindness to yoi. "If lae \vaidasI only tell use so, iti wtoild he like halan to iy bleeding I heart, fur then I should believe that lh's loved me; but he never expresses any regret." That day was far from being a hap py one ihr ll Ieury Wentworth. lie telt. that he had dhane wrong, but his fale views of things prevented him frua seeing his own cond net in its t rie light. Fanny's tears were a repr)tt. He had never seen his mother this moved, thoagh ofteni treated harshly by his father. IlaI he known how she was b-ought to sifler so gnietly; his feelings iaight. have been different. IIa yeuth. her heart, was warm and ttendaer; buit the ctotlhlabts aof nlakindneltss hadt~ renderel it in it degree cahili towards Iher hisbaind. A sterIn sense of dutV eatisedI her to receive his relproaches in a icek and liet spirit. \V hen lI Inry thtanght how unmoved his asother always appeared, he blaned his wife fir such exlhibitioans of feelipg, aot knowing how often she (his modt er) had thus wept., before her warm and youthi l ati'etions had been chill ed. Iad she continued to love het husbanl, as a first, she would soan have sunk into th i grve, ir, like paois. 'ned aarrows, aire eruel worads froma those we fitidly love.

Had she, hsowev'er, been conscioans of beig beloved biy her husbanad, she would haive been a good, ;:dfectioniate wife. "Love,-andh love only, is the loan for love," is the sestntnet of' a poet, whei speak. isag of fraiendshsp. It is equally true of' that aff'ectiton which is felt ia thae conajugal relationa.

Her miaid, w~hso had grown usp with- her', and once thought noboidy as good sand pretty as ners yotang mistress, said otne day to her mother .Ie .'41 fretful."..' 'I he reply wasi "I always knowed she would not love anybody thant didn't like her. Wt'hen she was a chilbI, if she ever did anyhing naughty to rue, I would say, 'Mliss Fanny, you know aunt Sila loves you, and you make her sorry.' Then she would cine and pat,. my cheeks, and say, '1 love you, too, and won't do so again.'" Marion Wentworth with deep grief saw this state of things. She loved. them both, atd instingtively tinder stood the cause of her sister.in law's unamiable temuper. She still' hoped that her brother could be induchd to act in such a mamner as to win back his wile's love. -'Poor henry I I pity him," she said to herself. -'; le plant ed thorns in lis own path, which now 'pierce him daily." One day, on open nag her Bible, these words lmzet her eve, "If Iany ofyou luck wisdom, let hiim ask of God, that giveth to all men lib. erality and upbraudoth not, and it shall be given him." Encouraged, she prayed continually for that wisdom which might enalne her to lead those dear ones to peace and happiness. CLI A PT ELi It. It is a hnty morn1 ing in Spring. IHCnry W\entwortIh and his sister are ol horscback. A protracted meetina is being held ten miles distant froll their Ione', andl they have started ear ly, to be in i1hne for the morn nig ser vice. Their way is across a retired p art of the country. Now they pass through a beautiful woodland, ringing with the songs of birds, and anon they emerge imto ae open comntry, where cultivated fielda, green meado.ws aced blaossomeling orchards, are smiling in the sunlight, and glistenizn with dew dirap,. - These scenes, so lull of gladness to the peaceful heart, filled IIenry with salness, fur he, felt that there was a painful contrast between his oawn teel ings and the al'ect of natture. 'That morning. Fanny was in a very unhap py rnood, and relised to accomapany them to church, without giving himz any reasn la i chosineg lo ra mil at home. As lie rode aing, thinkiag over the scenes ofstrifte though which he had ;t'ely 1assed, Ilivy nezared a graveyard. The to:nbii=t,.les of their parents were distinetly seen. Si)nt ly and sadly they fatssed tltat. <huiet abo)lie of the dead. hu.ieal n Ith the tha,.Zhts of the past. When M\arIi~on looked at her brother. she saw that Ii, eyes were moist with tears. At length, he said - . If all women were like our mother, how inmi-h happie. would the world be; at least, I shonid be less iiiiserable." M'trioni had long wished i1r such an opportunity. She knew that, to speak to him on the subject which had lately occupied her thoughts, wouli be worse than useless, un less he were in a prop- I er f'urie of mind; but l.e was now sad anid subdued. She told himes hie Iinight Yet. be happy, and, avoiding as mlauchh iSas possible whalt wouli d gi ve him l pat~in, reind aead him aof his han ahizess to his wifae., tellighiml hotw 51he had14 wep't ill her armis, and .sad, if sihe cou'lld on'zly believe t hat lie wats grieved with him z self' for t reat ing her thbus, she caould love him as well ais ever. She ha~d seewPhier exert ionls tao please him i, anda mrked her saddness whlen shze failed, until the t ender.plant of1 love', unbllest, wvithi the dewv aofin d hess, haad withered and died. " Youz spioke of snother,'" said shze. " It was her first, trust, ini Gaoda whiich gave her st reingth to lhear her trials.

D~uring that day's ser-vices they heatrd a sermnon in which thet speaker dt welt mueh onl the ad vantages of meek netss. "' The mzee.k shall inhea.rit, the earth," said he, "is provead by observa hiin anal every daty's experiene.

Meekness *proves a shield algainst insult, cautmny iand ridlicule." But we need naot, follow tihe sp~eaker- any further. It, is sullicait, to say, that before the servies closed, lieury Wentworth had resolved Lu beeomle a betatir man11. WVhen thaey arrived at haume they found little Eddy alatrmingly ill. Fan. ny had sent fur a physician, whocamuue in soon1 after their return. At Mr. and Mrs. Wentworth's earniest reque-t, he remained with themz all, aighit, anld afterwards visited him duily. Ilt i.oa earthly powetr could arrest the pro gress of the disoase. In a few daya their"home'was'dark, for h'u whi)- had been the delight of all hearts, (inelhi. ding the servants,) was sleeping in the silent grave. On no one did the night of sorrow settle with such blackness, ats on the young mother. Since she conceived the thought t hat her husband loved her not, she had felt for her beautiful boy an affeetion uncommon even for a nmother, for he wats her only joy. Du. ring his sicknoes she could scarcely be persuaded to take rest or food, and when she saw him breathe his last, she .fainted to the floJr. Hours elapsed before she was restored to any degree oftconciousuess. - Partial deliriumn suc ceeding, a physician.was sent for, who pronouced that she was suffering with brain fever. After consigning his pre cious child to the timb, Mr. Went worth took his station by the bedside of his wife, and did everything in his power to alleviate her suitlerings. The most of thr time, she lay in a kind of stupor, sometimes noaning, sometimes talking. Deep anguish filled his heart when he heard her say "They have taken away my child, I have no one to love me nion, llen. ry loves ine not-lhe never did love ine. This was more thai he could bear. Ie hastily left her in the caret f Mlari on, and sought a place where he might unseen, give vent to his feelings. lie there prayed for his own figi veness for her recovery, and vowed that if' her lite were spared, he would dedicate the renainder,of his Iife to the perflrm ace of every duty required of him by his Heavenly Father, towards that niow stricken one-towards every creature which lie had made, and to wardsl God. After weeks of suffering, the tever and deliriumi had subsided, but she re manined as feeble as anl iii aut, whose life is only numlber]ed by days. Then first she l'erceived how uanti ing was her husbanid in his a:ttentio ns. It wa. he who oltne. st ehaft d her i old htands and applied to her sips the lie preserv. ing stinhttaa. It was he wvho, lilled her so tenderly ito anotheraeb csniioh, t hfat hers maighit be niaoile morea co~arnortable. It was lie whos watched her f'eebie palle Si conastaiilly, lest the flickering flatme of lifi s1hould suddsfenly go out, (which is som iet imies the case in this disease, allaer the fever leaves the pa tie et.) 'Tae feable to converse, she 'itt'on lay liking at her pale but liudiisome bsushmaaal 'tlb a kind of wt a. der.
