put her apron to her eyes and began to
cry "
or course, the husband could say no
more He had often, very often, suffer
ed all this before he had tried TO make his
wife see how much real unhappiness she
was making fer herself; but She would not
listen. or If She Ilia, the impression was
not lasting. hlnfaot, she had no patience
with her children, and The single ruffla of
a moment was saro 70 make uhhappiness
for her. She loved her husband Iondly;
and her children she loved, too. She !
WAS proud Of them, and for their com
fcrt their comfort she would sacrifice any
amount Of personal convenience. Many !
and many an hour Of blissful Joy did She
pass wifi her husband when The sky was
clear; but cloud was sure to bring the !
storm For years not day passed that
had not seen some unpleasant passages
between herself aud children, and She
would not understand that her very
mode Of trestment-the disposition she |
manifested aud the language She used
was surely warpiug the minds Of the liz, |
tie ones, In pain Of anguish, her hus-
band had tried to show her this, but sc
would not listen; and then when she was
calm and reasonable, Albert could not
find Il in his heart to destroy the peace
by such illusions.
On The present occasion supper was
eaten Almost IN silence The husband
was panied aud the wife angry. The
child once cried for lump Of sugar, and
the mother jerked piece apon her plate
with the words:
There. take i'll You wNnt everything
you set your eyes on.
- The little one ate the sugar ih silence,
while the mother felt more dismal still
from this new ontburst And thus mat
ters went on for an hour, and at The end
Of that time the door bell rang, and
some company was utroduced II was
aneighB6r aud bisNife. In moment,
the whole expression OF Abbey's face
was changed Smiles took the place Of
frowhs and her words were as sweet As
could be; and dnring the whole evening
she was AS happy and gay as though
cloud had never rested on.her brow.
