The Gambhr's WJc.-N;ght after
night the poor wife sits alone, waiting
the return of her truant husband -
Each knock a, the door-each Jar or
Jingle Of the bell--alarms her, until
she becomes nervous from solitude and
watchiullness. The chlrping Of the
cricket on the hearth, or the moaning
of the wind through the easement.
serves only to make night hideous.-
The midnigh, bell tolls, aud still he
comes not. The hour of two strikes
sometimes it is three in the morn
ing-eie his step is heard; and then he
enters, pale, haggard, tormented with
passion and despair, Wild with disap-
pointment, without kind word,
soft look, or an endcaring caress for
her whose love he shorld prize above
all earthly jewels For every pang
thus wantonly inflicted on tender
wife aud mother, whole life Of pen
ance can scarcely atone Noah's
Sunday Times.
