TANNING SnREw.--Mrs. Cheeks was deci-
dcdly shrew, and her unfortunate husband
was what is generally termed a hcn.peckcd
husband. lie was Woodworking, good-heart-
ed honest mechanic, who strove night and day
to support his portable vinegar cruct OF wife
and u large family of children. Mrs. c.
thought vegetable food was unhealthy, and
used to feed her husband upon what the sailors
call "soft tack" mush and milk, and other
"spoon meat" until Mr. c. really had per-
suaded himself that he rather liked it, and was
heard to assert on several occasions that he
thought lean man was more apt to be heal
thy than one well up in flesh. The unceasing
gabblc Of Mrs c. began to do its work, and
prove far more deadly than vollcys of musket-
ry directed at solid column Of infantry
Poor Mr.. c. did everything he rose before
day, got the breakfast, dressed the children
and then woke his wife to open her daily fire
upon him. The only pleasure the hcn-pccked
took, was in his children. At last one of
them, bright-eycd, fairhared little girl,
sickened and died The mother was vehement
in her expressions Of grief, but the father said
nothing--his eyes were moist, and he moved
about AS If in dream. The sad day for the
final parting came--the closed shutters, the
dcath.like silcnce--the measured tread Of the
household, told the melancholy event, the fair
one had been placed in its little coffin. The
father had not been seen all day, and no one
knew whittier he had gone. The cold autumn
nal wind whistlcd in the cracks, aud dried and
cracking leaves fell from the trees, and all was
sorrow in the house Of death The wife heard
a noise in the room where the dead child lay
and rushing into the room she discovered her
husband unscrcwng the lil Of the coilin.--
"Why, what on airth are you doin' on, Mr.
c. 2" she exclaimed, II neccr did see sich Il
man in the hull Of my live long, blessed days
Come away, now, do"
The husband looked up--he seldom dared to
do it-a large glstenng tear stood in each
eye and Others coursed down his cheek
faoe was deadly pale and his lips quivcred with
emotonr He at last said /: "Ivc been hunt
ing all day for white rose, Mary, and want
to place it on our dear ones heart" The wife
left the father at his holy work, and "a change
came over the spirit Of (her) dream. ."-Ners.
