Harwood looked up; he caught tho
eloquent gaze Of those beautiful eyes;
he saw her start and instantly avert

emotions thrilled his heart. The hour
had come. Love, the high-priest, had

CHAPTER V.

For three months, Harwood was
devoted lovcrand husband, and Har
riet was happy in his love; but he coulc
not all at once, and forever, forego The
glorious dreams of his youth--and by
degrees he returned to his political du'
ties, and grew gradually stately and
cold, and apparently indifferent as be-
fore.
Andnow Harriet was more wrctchcd
than ever. Now, that she had at once
experienced the happiness Of being
loved, caressed admired, she could not
endure life unblcssed by tenderness and
hope. By nature, ardent, susceptible,
dependent upon those around her for
happiness, and clingng to all who
could offer her affection, it had been on
ly by violent struggle that she had
forced herself into state of apparent
apathy, during the first few weeks Of
her marriage; but, once aroused from
it, she had abandoned her whole being
TO the enchantment of Loves happy
dream, and henceforward life was lost
without it.
Her husbands returning coldness and
neglect had wounded, but not subdued
her heart; and what was she to do with
all the now unemployed feeling and
fancy awakened in its depths?

"More close and close his footsteps wind,
The magic music in his heart
Beats quick and quicker till he find
The quiet chamber far apart"
At an unusually early hour, tho next
evening, Harwood returned to his now
happy home, and, hastening up tho
stairs, paused at the door of his wife S
boudoir, arrested by her voice within.
She was singing, IN low and touching
voice, and with exquisite taste, SIM
pie song which he had never heard be-
fore. Though naturally very fond of
music, it had happened by somc strange
chance that he had not heard Harriet
play Or sing, indeed ho did not know
that she possessed the accomplish
ments. The words of the song. went
straight to his heart, and thus they ran:
knew it felt it he loves me at last
The heart hidden anguish forever is past
Love brightens his dark eye and sottcns his
tone;
He loves me--he loves me-his soul is mine
own!
Come care and misfortune-the cloud of the
storm
I've a light in this heart all existence to warm;
No grief can oppress me, no shadow o'ercast,
In that blessed convction--he loves me at last!
Echoing, with his rich, manly voice,
the last five words, Harwood opened
tho door and held out his arms, and his
happy and beautiful wife flew to his
embrace, with a fresh and artless de.
light, peculiarly fascinating to the
world-worn man she worshipped.

TO YOUNG WIVES.
PUBLISHED BY REQUEST.

The first error of many young wife
is this. The husband perhaps, docs
not regard her wishes in some trivial
matter, as much as she thinks he ought
She begins to W ep, and says,
"You do not love me, ifyou did, you
would do otherwise"
Now if q lady tells her husband re-
peatedly that he does not love her, if
it is not true when she first says it,
she may be pretty certain that it will
be true before long, for nothing is more
directly calculated to ALLEVIATE affection
than to express doubts of its existence.
Not only should your oxpressins be
guarded in this pa! ticular, but even
your thoughts. You should fortify
your heart against the admission of the
first doubt ofyour husbands affection,
with as much care as you would bar
your doors against an enemy that
threatened your life, for such " doubt
is an enemy which will rob your life
Of all th:t renders il desirable. If
there is any thing in his words or acts
which you deem inconsistent with his
former professions of devoted attach
ment, attribute it to prcoccupation of
mind, to bodily inf nifty, to any thing
rather than q diminution of regard
Cultivate the same disposition to palli-
ate his errors that you manifest to pal
late your own, and be as blind to his
failigns as you would wish him to be to
yours. Cupid is represented as blind
god, and there is great danger, if he once
gets his eyes fairly open, that he will
take fright and fly away. 1t is more
difficult, and far moro important to re-
tain heart than to win it, and to 90
this, your own thoughts and feelings,
as well as your words and actions must
be carfully guarded l cnce heard a
bereaved husband say, that during
nineteen years his wife lived with him
before being called to rest, he could not
remember that she had ever spoken n
cross word to him, or found fault with
him in single instance. Let it not
be supposed it was tamencss and stu
pidity on her part that enabled her
husband to say this, for she was a
woman possest of superior abilities and
great energy and decision of character.
Such a eulogy from her husband is
more to her praise than volumes in
laudation of her beauty and accom-
plishmcnts.
Let me urge you to beware of the
first cross word, and beware of spirit |
of fault finding. know lady whose |
husband at first was much devoted to
her, and seemed anxious to please her
to the extent of his power, but sho ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with nearly eve-
ry thing he did, until his feelings be-
came SO alienated that he did not care
whether he pleased her or not; and life
ia now to them o cheerless sceno in
whice no rainbow ofhopc spans their

How the following gem saddens our
heart, which has long known
What is Home without a Mother]

What is home without mother,
What are all the joys ws meet
When her loving smile no longer
Greets the coming of our feet.
The days seem long, the nights are dreary,
And time rolls slowly on;
And o, how few are childhood's pleasures
When her gentle careis gone.
Things we prize are first to vanish,
Hearts we love to pass away,
And how soon, cen in our childhood,
We behold her turning grey;
Her eye grows dim, her step is slower
Her joys of earth are passed,
And sometimes, ere we learn to know Ler,
She has breathed on earth her last.
Older hearts may have their sorrows,
Grief that quickly dies away,
But mother lost in childhood
Grieves the heart from day to day,
We miss her willing hand,
Her fond and earliest care,
And o! how dark is life around U.s.
What is Home without her there!
