THE TRU.7. VT HUSB.A Nd.

The painful vigil may never know,
That anxious watches OF wandering heart"
MRs, TIeHIE.
1t was past midnight, and she sat leaning
her pale cheek on her hand, counting he dull
ticking Of the French clock that stood on the
marble chimney-piece, and ever and anon lift
ing her weary eye to its dial to mark the lapse
of another hour. 1t was past midnight, and
yet he returned not! She arose, and tax ng
up the lamp. whose pale rays alone ilIumina-
ted the solitary chamber, proceeded with noise
less step to small inner apartment The cur
tains of his little bed wee drawn aside, and
the young mother gazed on her sleeping child !!
What vivid contrast did that glowing cheek
and smiling brow present, AS he lay in rosy
slumber, 10 the faded, yet beautiful face that
hung over him in tears, 'Wll he resemble
his father! was the thought that passed foI a
moment through her devoted hear, aud sigh
was the only answer!
IT'S his well known knock-and the steps
of the drowsy porter echoed through the lofty
hall, as with murmur on his lip, he drew the
MASSEY bolts and admitted his ,houghtIess mas
ter. "Four o'clock, Willis, is it not!" and
he sprung up the staircase-another moment
he is IN her chamber-in her arms!
"JnIia, have been wandering husband"
But you are come now, Charles, and all Is
WE'LL"
And all was well, for, from that hour,
Charles Darvers became an altered man. Had
his wife met him with frowns and sullen tears.
he had become a hardened liberline; but her
affacliondte caresses, the joy that danced In
her suGken eye, the hectic flash that III up her
paIlid cheek a, his approach, were argnu ents
he could not Withstand. Married in early life,
while he felt all the ardor, but not the esteem
of love; possessed Of splendid fortune, aud
having hitherto had the entire control OF his
OWE pleasures, Danvers fell into that common
error of newly married men-the dread of be-
ing controlled. In vain did his parents, who
beheld with sorrow the reproaches and misery
he was heaping up for himself in after life,
demonstrates; Charles Danvers turned deaf
ear to advice, and pursued, with companions
every way unworthy Of his society, the path
Of folly ii not of absolute guilt. The tavern,
the club-room, the race-course, too often left
his wife solitary mourner, or midnight
| watcher.
