CouIDA,r SET No LONGER. :

COULDN'T SET No LONGER. "A
Young Connecticut clergyman had
lust buried his wife, In the early
freshness of his grief he was waited
upon by one of his deaeons, with
the announcement that Brother
Smith had left his church and gone
to the Methodist, and Brother
Smith does say that you, his own
minister, have hurt his feelings so
that he never can get over it. The
tendor-hearted shepherd was touch
ed by this impUtation, and eager to
atone to the aggrieyed sic P for
any unintentional wrong he might
have done him,
$50 up he took his little crook.
Determined for TO fad him -
which he did, sinking over some
job Of his trade Of house carpentry
After an expenditure Of much affec-
tionate entreaty and skillful cross
questioning, the minister ELECTED
the folIowing:
w ell, the Tact Is, knew there
wasn't much chance of your wife's
getting we'll, and so I went to work
two or three weeks before she died,
so as to have it all ready, and
made just the greatest coffin for her
that was ever turned out in this
town. I'd took her measure a
hundred times sitting right back Of
the persons pew, you know. l
didn't say nothing about it to You
beforehand, cause my woman had
a notion it would sort o. cut you
up. 1 don't know why, but when
I heard that you'd telegraphed to
Boston for one Of them new-fangled

never displays SO much of the Sneak as
in his relations with woman and this
charge of parsimony is one of The exam
piles of it. 1t is not indeed untrue, but
the offence is often involuntary. To do
married men Justice, however, it is not
they who commonly urge this accusation,
but rather bachelors, who easily perceive
that women are penutious, without CUES
ing at the cause.
Generally speaking indeed, in the very
free discussions that take place among
those horrid men when they get together
concerning the other sex, married men
arc it's defenders, and bachelors Eyes, my
dear young lady, those very polite and
deferential persons who turn your head
by their fatlerie$) are IFS detractors. 1t
is they who have had experience of matri-
mony who speak the best Of it, aud they
have reason.
As the real comforts of religion, the
divines assure US, are never known until
we fall into adversely, so is 1t with our
wives. Love, the passion, is a sun-shade,
admirably adapted for fair weather; mar
ried love is an umbrella-nay, a dread
nought, wrapped in which we may defy
the worst of storms.
When pain and anguish wiring the brow,
A ministering angel thou,
is nothing beyond the truth as regards
our wives they can even evInce genera
sity when the evil is of our own choosing:
a good wife will not reproach you for a
next mornings headache (though it
must be only once and away, mlnd), but
will add the lump of ice to the glass of
Seltzer-water, and sigh Poor fellow! [
know it was not the wine; but you should
not excite yourself so in these m~etaphysi-
cal discussions. What does it signify
whether Hamlet was really mad or not 2
You are not quite certain Of what she is
talking about: she is probably referring
to some impromptW explanation of yours
to account for your unusual demeanour
on the previous evening but you accept
her remarks with greatful eagernesS.
This praise of the poet only refers to
our creature comforts-a woman's help
in sickness: how she smooths the pillow,
and soothes the pain. Now, in all adver-
sity, a good wife is the prop and stay of
her husband. Just as folks get half
drowned in the Serpentine for the sake
of the brandy in the Royal Humane So
ciety's clearinghouse, so it is almost
worth a mans while to lose half his in
come that he may appreciate the loving
sympathy that dwells in his helpmate's
heart. what does. it matter, DEAR
says she, $50 long as we can still be
togethern OF course, it matters; but,
believe nae, o cynical ceIibate, it matters
not nearly so much as it would matter
to lyoW.
OF course, there are many points in
which matrimony is open to ridicule, and
many married folks who seem to do their
very best to render it ridiculous in the
eyes of others but, in my opinion, there
are very few men indeed who would not
be the happier for being married. The
Virtuous, though they rarely need such
advice, for most of them become Bene-
diets early, in marriage reap the reward
of their virtue the Vicious are so far

The Blue chamber extended from the rear
to the front of the house. The moonlight,
streaming in through the windows OF the
back, lighted up the black oak furniture,
hanging tangled lights and shadows ON their
sombre angles, and glOating in one brilliant
pool ON the centre Of the hoor, whence il
rolled, with great sweep 81 weltering
darkness, under the shadows cast by the
walls of the room. The easements were
marked in diamond parquetries across the
carpet; and could distinctly observe the
gray simmer of the mantel-piece, and shy
CLEAN of brackets and mirrors through the
twilight of the apartment. The table, at
which the pale young man had been writing,
stood in the middle of the floor, thickly lit
tered with papers. My heart beat violently.
AS sure as the Heavens are above me, that
is Lucy! She steals noiselessly into the
room, her white dress rendered still whittier
by contrast with the dark furniture under
the luminous influence of the moonlight.
She approaches the table, frequently paus-
ing, with bowed head, to catch the sound Of
footsteps. She takes letter from her
bosom. kisses it, aud places ittin the port
folio. Another moment, and she is gone!
Sick of heart, and dizzy of BRAIN reeled
back against the wall. fancied the stars
shotou long trains of fire, which hurtled in
myriad sparks across the Heavens; the
moon suddenly opened, dischargiDg show
er of tiny areolites; the trees quivered to
their roots, the lawn heaved and sunk again;
and, then, came blank insensibility.
