Wife and ].

We quarrepd this morning, my wife and I,
We were out of temper, and scarce knew why,
Though the cause was trivial and common;
But to look in our eyes you'd swore that we both
Were a couple of enemies. spiteful and wroth-
Not a welded man and q woman.
Wife, like tragedy queen in play,
Tossed her sweet little head in as lofty way
As so little woman was able;
She clenched her lips with a sneer and frown,
While /, being rougher, stamped up and down,
Like q careless groom in stable.
You'd have thought us the bitterest (seeing III
them
OF little women and little men,
You'd have laughed at our spite and passion;
And would ne'er have dreamed that a storm lik'
this
Would be rainbow'd to tears by that sunlight,
kiss,
Till we talked in the old fond fashion.
Yet the storm was over in less than an hour,
And was followed soon by a sunny shower,
And that again by embraces;
Yet so little the meaning was understood
That we almost felt ashamed to be good.
And were blush our faces.
Then she, as a woman, much Drawer became,
And tried to bear the whole weight of the blame
By her kindness, her self-reproving;
When, seeing her humble, and knowing her true
all at once, became humble, too,
And very contrite and loving.
But, seeing acted an humble part,
She laughed outright with frolic heart
A laugh as careless as Cupid;
And the laughter wrangled along my brain
Till almost fell in passion again,
And became quite stubborn and stupid.
And this was the time for her arms to twine
Around this stubbornest neck of mine,
Like the arms of maid round lover;
And, feeling them there, with their warmth, you
know,
laughed quite different laugh; and SO
The storm Gas 1 called i'll was over.3
So then we could talk with the power to please;
And though the passing of storms like these
Leaves a certain fond facility
Of getting easily angry again,
Yet they free the heart and rebuke the brain,
And teach US a rough humility.
You see that we love one another so well,
That we can find more comfort than you can tell
In jingling our bells and corals;
In the fercer fights of world SO drear,
We keep our spirits so close and clear,
That we need such trivial quarres.
In the great, fierce fights of the world, try
To shield one another, my wife and l,
Like brave, strong man and woman;
But the trivial quarrels O. days and nights
Unshackls our souls for the great, fierce fights,
And keep us lowly and human.
Clouds would grow in the quietest mind,
And make it unmeet to mix with its kind.
Were nature less wise as mother;
And with storms like ours. there must futter out
From the bosom the boarded up darkness and
doubt
The excess of our love for each other!

Love in the Valley of the Juniata...A
True Tale.
By GRACE GREENWOOD.
CONTINUED.

CHAPTER III.
When Elbridge had been a few
months in the valley of the Juniata, he
was called to administer spiritual conso
lation to woman dying of consump-
ton. A small lad, with slight Irish
brogue, and eyes swollen with weep
ing, poorly but cleanly dressed, con-
Quoted him two or three miles up the
valley, to a house built of logs, but as
neat cottage or,aee, and nested in the
most luxuriant::shrubbery. EIbridge
could scarcely believe this to be the
home of James Blair, the wretched in
ebriate whom he had often remarked,
staggering from bar room doors, or ly-
ing by the way side in state of brutal
intoxication.
When he entered, the dying woman
was sitting upright in bed, supported
by young girl whom he had before
seen at his meeting, and noticed for the
Nadonna-iik like sweetness and purity Of
her countenance. This was Elizabeth
Blair, the eldest daughter of the house.
Her sister, an exceedingly beautiful
girl, of sixteen or seventeen stood at
her side, weeping passionately. The
husband and father, for once in his
right mind, was kneeling at the bed
side, his face buried in bis hands, and
his whole frame quivering with convul-
sive sobs. Opposite, stood DR.. N,
a young physician, late from Harris
burgh, already partially known to Ell
bridge.
To his Joy the clergyman found that
his ministrations were only needed by
the husband and children the wife
and mother awaited with fearless and
saint.like serenity the swift coming of
the angel of death. In the brief con-
versation which he was enabled to have
with her, he saw that she was remark
ably intelligent for one of her station,
and possessed of the clearest and tru.
est understanding of spiritual things.
At the close of simple and fervent
prayer the sufferer beckoned her young
er children to draw nearer, kissed them
tenderly, and family murmured-"Eliz-
abeth, your mother-now." Then, for
the first time, James Blair looked up,
and in a voice husky with remorseful
anguish, exclaimed
"Forgive me, Mary, before you got"
Alas the power of speech had left
the poor wronged wife, but she
stretched out her thin hand and laid it
tenderly on the head of her repentant
husband, and then let it glide down up
on his neck. He understood the ac-
ton, and drew closer to her; she bent
forward, pressed her cold lips to his,
and so died.
On his return to his boarding house,
Elbridge ascertained, to his surprise,
that the family With whom he,wss do

CHAPTER ".


Before progressing with my story, /
must tell my readers something more of
the Blairs. So reculer pour mieuc
sauter, James Blair, an Irishman of ed
ucation, and some property, married
the girl of his heart and came immedi-
ately 10 this country. Having an eye
for the picturesque, he purchased a
farm on that loveliest of American riv.
ers, the Juniata. But James Blair,
bred to mercantile life, had no "fac
ulty" for farming; then he met with
sickness, losses and discouragements,
and-oh, 'tis the old, old story-be-
came drunkard, and all was over with
him. But Mary, poor Mary Blair, was
a jewel Of wife, for saint or a sim
ner,-only she would have lasted long
er, if her "Jamie" had more of the
former, and less of the latter, in his
composition. But, as she wasted away
in her patient Observation-Disclosures,
there was one to take her place. Eliz-
abeth Blair was one of those rare char
acters of whom "the world is not
worthy" A spectacle for angels vas
her life of INC blrusive, unwearing, un-
murmuring goodness. From the age
Of eighteen, when her mothers health
failed utterly, to her twenty-frst year,

busily engaged in perusing the volume.
He noticed, however, that she held the
book with the letters reversed, or in 9th
err words upside down. After the usual
courtesies, the minister inquired what
she was reading.
'Oh, bout the old prophets, was the
evidently satisfactory response.
1T is very edifying TO read of the
srfferings and death of Christ, said the
minister.
