THE MAGIC OF WORDS
BY t. S. ARTHUR.

Peter Crandall was not an IL natured,
captious, or fault finding man, and yet
the home of Peter CrandalI was not a
happy home. Very little sunshine
streamed in across the threshold.-
Was it his wife's fault? a visitor, who
saw her in her usual mood, might. if his
conclusions were made from first impress
siens. lean TO this opinion. She Inclined
to fretfulness and impatience; and often
scolded the children when her husband
could see iiitlle in them TO blame.
The CraDdalls were poor. Mr. Gran
dali was mechanic, and earned only
mechanics wages. Mrs. Crandsll was
the mother of five children, the Oldest Of
them thirteen years old; but their mar
row income left nothing te spare-for the
hire of a domestic, and so all the work
fell upon her. She was toll worn and
toil-weary at the dying of each day; and
the same although not to an equal ex-
tent, might be said Of her husband. He
had more strength for his work, and,
therefore, could endure greater fatigue.
He had the advantage, TOO. which was
most important one-of freedom from
causes of nervous excitement, aud the
inevitable exhaustion dat followed. He
labored on at one kind of work. uninter.
rupted, all day long; while she was SUBJ
ject to perpetual and annoying interrup-
tions, incident to her position of mother
and housekeeper.
Between Peter Crandall and his wife
there did not seem to exist much alfee-
tion. They never spoke loving words,
nor manifested, except or rare occasions,
any pleasure at peeiing, or any mutual
interest. The little conrtegies of life
were something unknown IN their cheer
less dwelling, Rude. boisterous, quar-.
relsome. the children gres up. brin sing

Portable enough without that disagreea-
bic inmate. The mother scolded and
punished in angel; but saw no good re
suit OF her discipline. The father some
times scolded in concert; but always felt
an unpleasant sensation afterward, as If
he had been doing semeth;ng wrong.

There are many people who consider

a laugh seems called forth by something

We had previously noticed one sweet
girl, arrayed simply and beautifully,

she arose and came toward The object oi
