A TRUE WITE.-Sae is no true wife
who sustains not her husband in the day
OF calamity, who is not, when the world s
great frown makes the heart chill with an i.
guish, his guardian angel, growing bright
er and more beautiful as misfor,unes crowd
along his path, Then is the time for trial
of her gentleness, then is the time for test
ing whether the sweetness of her temper
beams only with a transient light, or like
the steady glory of tho morning star, shines
as brightly under the clouds. Has she
then smiles just as charming? Does sho
say, 'aflliction cannot touch our purity, and
should not quench our love? Does she
try by happy little inventions to lift from
his sensitive spirit the burden of thought?
There are wives--nay, there are beings,
who, when dark hours come, fall to repiu-
ing and upbraiding adding to out
side anxie.y, the narrowing scenes of do
nestle s,rite--as if all the blame in tho
world would make one hair white or black
or change the decree gone immu,able forth.
Such knew not that our darkness is heay-
ea's light; our trials are but steps in &eoll-
en- ladder, by which if we rightly ascend
we may at last gain that eternal light, and
battle forever in its fulncss and beauty.
is that all? aud the gentle face of the
wife beamed with joy. Her husband had
been on the verge Of distraction-all his
earthly possessions were gone, and be fear
ed the result Of her knowledge. she had
been SO tenderly cared for ali her life!-
