manly breast of her husband, stood and
wept.
What strong light broke in upon the
mind Of Andrew Lee. He had never given
to his faithful wife even the small reward OF
praise for all the loving interest she had
manifested daily, until the doubt of his love
had entered her soul, and made the light
around her thick darkness. No wonder that
her face grew clouded, nor that what he
considered moodiness and illnature took
possession of her spirit.
s'You are good and true, Mary. My
own dear wife. am proud of you-I love
you-and my first desire is for your happi-
ness. Oh if could always see your face
in sunshine, my home would be the dearest

How precious to me are your words Of
love and praise. Andrew, said Mrs. Lee,
smiling up through her tears into his face
"With them in my ears, my heart can new

cloudy horizon of his home, and now the
bright sunshine was streaming down, and
flooding that home with joy and beauty
