| of summer bonnet, and wake it serve
the winter-take the baby blanket for a
shawl, and contriVe new coat for the
boy out of the fathers old one, and more
over, persuade the child, by those in
genious arguments which only straight-
ened mothers know how to make avail
able, that the garment was altogether
brighter and better than new one; and
all this for the sake of seeing said hus'
band and father go TO church, or the club,
or The election, in a new coat and hat.
l cannot call to mind, however, any SIM
liar sacrifices and contrivances elected
by such behavior.
We all know how women violate the
commandment "Thou shalt not lie," by
creating fictitious atmosphere through
which their children behold their fathCr,
not as he is but as he should be. For
instance when the husband spends mon
ey for cigars, which should have bought
shoes for bare-footed child, the wrong
ed and disappointed little one is tod,
most likely. that the father forgot the
shoes; and will buy them Tomorrow.
When the husband "tarries long" at
the beer shop, or oyster-salOon, and the
children grow clamorous for supper,
their gnawing stomachs are quieted by
the delusion, that their dear parent is in
some comforlless situation, coming his
life blood to service; and 50 on, accord
ing to the enormity of the offence. is the
magnitude of the fabrication in defence.
But notwithstanding all this make-be-
lieve, l have often seen cloud OF dis
comfort brought into the house by the
coming home of the husband and father.
1t has, indeed. usually been my misfor-
tune 10 see that much begilded event,
the signal for bushes to take place of fun
and frolic, for the little girl to be set
down On a stool, shamed out of kissing
her doll. and for the boys rocking horse
to be turned out to pasture on the porch,
and himself shut in some dark closet, if
be sought the poor comfort of a whim-
per.
Iwish l could hope that my expert
ence was extraordinary; l wish could
see cause 10 believe there are not thou
sands of women in this very city dying
daily, because no smile meets their smil-
ing. and no appreciation of their efforts
to please.
Women have faults and failings
enough of their own to answer for, and
that they should be made scapegoats to
bear the sins Of their husbands, and that
with smiling, IS an imposition against
which l for one protest. Their ambi-
ton is humble enough, surely-praying
only for the privilege of loving and serv-
ing, and asking no other compensation
than a recognition of that love and SER
vice; but when even this is denied them,
as it frequently is, 1 wonder for my
part. they are as good as they are.
Men, and brethren, think of these
things, and if you would come to pleas
ant homes, come pleasantly to them.
."It is little thing to speak word of
common kindness, yet every one is like
a seed sown BY the way side. springing
up and bearing fruit-some twenty, some
fifty and some an hundred fold.''

the cfice of his friend, the lawyer. 1t
is to be supposed the latter was much
surprised to see his friend, imagining
him couple thousand miles away
After the usual salutations, he exclaim.
ed:
my dear fellow, you are in time to
see the wedding. Miss, your old
sweetheart, is to be married this morn
ing, at eleven o'clock. To tell you the
truth, 1 don't believe there is much love
about it, and the girl really thinks more
of one hair of your head than the fortu.
nate bridegrUom's whole body"
GOOD Heaven Where is she 10 be
married-in church 90
"No, at her fathers house ?''
"My dear fellow-I-I--yes-nc--
yes, will have it. Have you any case
coming on in either of the courts at II
o'clock %
"Yes."
"Then fill me up subpoena with the
bridegroom's name. "Don't stop 10
ask any questions. Itmat:ers not wheth-
her he knows any thing about the par
ties in the suit. By Heavens Julia
shall be minel"
His friend saw the object at once, and
promised to carry out the matter. The
subpoena was made out and placed in
the hands of clerk to serve Oh the un-
suspecting bridegroom the instant he
should leave his residence, and was dis
patched in cab 10 watch the house,
About ten minutes before eleven, as the
soon to be happy man was entering
coach before the door of his residence,
he was served with subpoena.
"Can't help it, said the clerk, in re-
ply to bis gesticuiating about "not know
lag the parties, going TO be married."
&c. "We shan't reach the Hall now
before eleven--imprisonment for con-
tempt" &c.
The bridegroom, who was rather of
tim:d nature, finally consented, particu-
larly as the clerk promised to send a
friend of his who sat in the cab wrapped
up in large cloak, to explain the rea.
sons Of his absence. The reader can
imagine who this person was.
Eleven o'clock came, but no bride
groom. The. guests were staring at
each other-the priest began to grow
impatient-and the bride that was to be,
looked pale and agitated, when a car
riage drove up and the bell rung. There
be is! +" murmured many voices.
A gentleman did enter, whose appear
ance created almost as much astonish
ment as that of Edgar Ravenswood in
the Hall of Ashton Castle at the mar
riage of Lucy Ashton in Scott's bride of
Lammermoor." The lady tainted; pri-
vate explanations ensued between the
parents of the lover, and the result was,
that in ten minuter after, the two real
lovers were joined in the sacred bond of
matrimony, much to the satisfac ton of
all present.
The bridegroom that was -to-have-
been, afterwards made his appearance,
putting and blowing. What he said
and what he did, on beholding his rival,
and being made acquainted with the
condition OF affairs, was really tragi-
comical.
The story of the subpoena shortly after
wards leaked out, and has created SO
much amusement, that the psor fellow
declares he will sue the lawyer for ten
thousand dollars damages in subpenaing
him as witness in case of which he
knew nothing, and by which he lost his
wife. 1t will be novel suit indeed, If
he should do so.-New York Paper.
