liked Mr.. Snow; and thinking it would be
a very fne thing to be the wife Of an editor,
said Yes as pretty as I knew how, and
became Mrs. Snow. -
Ihavo seen ten years of married life, and
find my husband to be an amiablc, good ma
tured man. He always spends his evenings
at homo, and is in that respect very mo-
raj, but he always brings with him pile of
exchanges, which are limited only by the
length Of his arm; and reads while patch
the knees and elbows Of our boys panta-
locus. After We have had Quaker meet
ing Of an hours length break the silence
| by asking. 'Mr. Suow did you order the
coal spoke 10 you abauip
'Whut did you say my daarr he asks, af-
| ter few moments silence. &5
Did you order the coal ] spoke 70 you
abou.''
| 'Indeed, ny dear, m very sorry, but l
forgot ali about it. It shall come to-mor-
row.
/ Another hours silence, which IL relieved
by the baby's crying; and rather liking 10
hear a noise of scme sort / made no effort
to quiet him. = %
My dear says Mr. Snow after he cried
a minute or so shad'nt you better give the
baby soue catnip tea TO quiet him. He
troubles me.
| The baby is still, and another hour pas
ses without breath OF noise. Becoming
tired Of silence, / take lamp and retire for
the night, leaving Mr.. S. so engaged with
his papers that he does moi even see me
| leave the room.
Towards midnight he comes to bed, and
/ just as he has fallen asleep the baby takes
a hotiJn to cry again. / rise as quietly as
possible, and try tostill him while | am walk
/ ing the room with toe small Snow in my
arms, our ncxt--a boy OF three years--5e-
gins to scream at the top Of his lungs -
What can / dca There is no other course
but to call Mr. Suox: so call oct, 'lr.

Mr.. Snow makes desperate effort to
rouse hiuiself as Tommy s;ops to take breath
he falls asleep again, leaving the pacing the
room IN as much sexalien us ! ean eomfor'
