Howard, your wife is a jewel anon


women 2


What a goose ! said the wife, 't


put the money into the firm, Whe


she might have kept her own carr


lge with it = and she shrugged he


)retty shoulders that were covered
I with five hundred dollar shawl.


Thank you, said the relieved
mother, who had warm heart il
her BOSOM, crusted over as it wa.
with the pride of birth and position
as she came and kissed the Young
wife for the first time; and witt
tears that were more expressive
than words, assured her again and
again of her gratitude. You have
removed a dark shadow from our
house, my daughter, and l shall
never forget it.


AS soon as the husband found
business matters progressing smooth
ly again, he proposed visit with his
wife to the old farm house.


Thank you,' she replied; but I
would rather wait a while; nv father
is very busy now. l know that YOU
go only to please me, and two
months from now will please me bet
ter


He was surprised, and a little
hurt. Just as you like; but 1 wish
to thank him in person for the gift
that came so oppOrtunely. / ought
to have gone before


The gift was NINE she said arch
ly, and want all the thanks


After weeks of newspaper squab-
bling, DIR. Henry Dunton, a gentle
man and scholar, and one of the
most popular men in the State, was
elected to be gubernatorial chair
by an overwhelming majority


Thus the party or an announced
the fact, with its record of full re-
turns; and this was the paper reeeiv-
ed by the happy daughter. Her
mother had kept her fully posted
from the time of the nomination /;
and she had thought, if he was sue
cessful, she would enjoy her .tri-
umph, by telling the important news
before them all. But when her wish
was gratifed, her woman's heart
was true to the trust, and alone with
her husband only, could she take
any pleasure in telling il.


Are you a Cinderella 4? she replied
laughing, though her eyes were
moist with happy tears; and you
will love me always, and treat as
your equal my dear, dear parents
who have only me to love in all the
work.


4 have been a donkey, ears, hoofs
voice, and all ! and if you see me
take the character again, Daisy, if
You love me just pull my ears be-
fore you feel my hOofs. / must tell
my mother this, Gomez and together
they sought the mothers apartment.


Mother allow me to introduce nv
wife, only daughter of Governor
Dunton.'


The lady entered into the spirit Of
the joke, without comprehending it,
and bowing in her own stately way
she said:


i am very happy to claim you as
one of my family; and think my son
fortunate in possessing such a good
wife


But mother, congratulate her !!
her father has just been elected to
the highest Office in the gift of the
people Of his native State p


Are YOU still jestlng, Howard 2


No, be is not, mother" and she
stepped to receive q kiss that was
given with a loving embrace.


And can you forgive US for our
neglect of your parents, my dear ?


4 have nothing to forgive! you
did not know them. Ny mother is
a lady, as your good judgement
would decided ifyou knew her


i ought to have known it by the
daughter she has reared


The father was in no haste for
visit from his son in law; but Daisy
aided by her mother, who could
respect any one her daughter loved
managed, with woman's tact, to
bring it about; and it would have
taken a harder man than her father
20 refuse the concessions the morti-
led young man was so eager tn make.


4 have but one cause Of CON-
Dlaint against him. he said to his
laughter, and this is, his goading
ne on until 1 suffered myself to be
ragged from the old farm to this
public life, that so much dislike.
But two years will soon pass away,
and l shall feel like boy again.'


'Jackanspes can hardly forgive
lin yet. Because, forsooth, q man
ives on a farm, he must be of the
.arth, earthly ! Iwonder he and his
-ristocratic family do rot eschew
he use of bread, because it is made !
rom grain raised on a farm, or give |
h.ir diamonds 10 the washerwoman |
'ecause they were plebian enough
o own the earth as their mother i!

But a presuming little hand cur
allied the sentence, and it was not
nished.
