Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1890-06-09

His wife started up hastily with al
expression of alarmed inquiry on hel
face. Her eyes were wet with tears.
The baby, still in its night-clothes
was fretting in the cradle, while g
little two-year-old, partly dressed.
pulled at her skirt.
"And SO you missed the train
breakfast was late-well, can't help
it-Bridget is going to leave, too )
and the poor little woman covered
her face with her hands and burst
into tears and sobs. She fully eX-
pected angry complaints from her
husband, and, in some vague way,
she felt that she was to blame. She
could not compass everything, and
the babies were so troublesome. Oh,
did every young mother have such a
hard time as she did?
"Why, darling, what is the mat
ter?" said Mr.. Smith, putting his
arms around his wife and drawing
her to him. "Come don't mind.
| think it is really mostly my own
fault. | have come through the kitch-
en-, and | find Bridget has so much
trouble with stove being broken and
the chimney smoking, that 1 wonder
she can get breakfast at ALL"
81 ought to get up in time to see
that you have breakfast early sob
bed the poor little woman; ''but
Bridget is so cross this morning, and
[ am SO tired
"No wonder, darling, that you are
tired, with the care of those big ba-
bies wearing on you all the time.
You have no business to have any
care of breakfast at all, and you
shall not have after this. You need
your good morning nap,a and you shall
have it. Bridget is all right. I'm
going to get that broken stove and
cistern mended to-day, and then if
Bridget can't get breakfast in time,
we'll try some other way to do. Come,
now, cheer upland I'll help you dress
these rogues, 1 have plenty of time
before the train
How wonderful is the effect upon
the physical nature of a spiritual i'm
pulse! How quickly can an uplifted
and strengthened spirit energize and
the body! Everything
seemed instantly to change for poor,
detected little Miss Smith She laid
her cheek on her husbands breast,
feeling what haven of peace it was.
How dear and precious was his love
and protection Her eyes frightened
and her cheeks glowed. Her weari-
ness and depression, which had been
utter misery, gave way to delight
full feeling of repose and loving hap
piness. In the midst of such prosaic
her heart was full of
The finest and most inspiring emo
ion.
''Dear, dear love, how good you
ire !" she said. ''How YOU have
the aspect of everything for
ne this morning Had you reproach-
ID me, as many husbands would have
lone, | should have sunk in the deep
est anguish. Now | feel strong
strong and happy"
Releasing his wife with a tender
liss, Mr.. Smith took the baby from
he cradle and merrily drew its stock
ngs and shoes on his little, plump,
rosy feet. Then he brushed
)ut the other little fellows curls and /
)uttoned his shoes. Willie, the old |
st, had slipped out of the house, land
Ir. Smith went to look for him and /
ound that he had taken advantage
# an insecure lock on the gate to
un off up the street. Bringing him
Jack, Mr.. Smith got the Ratchet and
n few minutes had the gate so fix
d that Master Willie could not open
t. His wife smilingly opened the
ront door, and seeing what had been
lone. exclaimed, "Oh, / am SO re-
ieved to find that Willie can not get
ut of the yard 1t has been such
rouble that he could open the gate"
And now it was time to start for
he next train, if he stopped to or
er the stove and pump-man to do
romised work. So gayly kissing
is wife and children, once more Mr..
'mith started for the station. AS
e walked along with light and
heerful heart he mused-
GLOW cheap a thing is happiness,
fter all, and yet how easy it is to
urn it into misery If | had given
'ay to my temper this morning |
hould have gratified momentary
npulse Of unreasonable anger and
1T behind me aching and discouraged
carts. Thank heaven for the infiu-
nee of the song of birds and scent
f flowers and the gentle in
uences and sweet affections that can
lake the most uneventful life bless
1g! Dear, good wife and dear,
recious little children Thank God
have left them happy this morning,
