If jou carod a straw for your wife, you would at-teu J to her wishes a little. Well, did you go to. the stove store to see about having that stove cleaned? It is almost impossible to bake iu it, .as I have often told you. "Xo, I did not." , - . 'I''or mercy' ssuko, Mr. Jayncs, when will you attend to it?" " "I cau't say; anything c!so wautod?" "Yes. Did you call at Lovcll's to see about matohiug that uiloloihT' "No." "Yet I asked you to be sure and reeol-'ect it tho last thing this morning. Was there ever such a careless man before? I Dover saw anything like it." Mr. Jaynes continued his dinner in apparent unconcern, and his wife relapsed into HiionM. Just as ho was leaving the dining room, she started a new theme. - "Charles, Mrs. Duttoo has been iu tljis morning, blie says they are going to the White Mouutaius next week. Why can'' you take me olT for a littlo Journey 1 I should like the ihauge; I thiuk it would do mo good." "Take you a journey, after the coinpli-menttiry things you have said tome this morning! I shall bo very likely to do so. A pleusent trip I should huvol" ';'f hut will do for an excuse; you never do take me any where. There's the Dut- tm'a have beeu away every summer; aud Mrs Dutton says her husbaud would uot think cf kcepiug her at home all summer. She was surprised wheo I told her that I b id never been away from home a week at a time since I was married." "Very likely" in a tone gf irony, an0 Mr. Jaynes left the room. Now Ellen Jaynes was not disappointed iu the lcavt at the result of hor application Iu fact she did not cxpeet her husband to grant her request nnd it is doubtful whether she would have gone had ho giv en his concent, for she well knew their means would not allow such expensive indulgences, tiud Ellen was a prudent, econ omical wife. Hut she wauted to show her husband what other men did for their wives, and what he did not do. Ellen Jaynes wis a woman of good prin ciples aud good feoliug, though she bad an irritable, nervous temperament. In tho good old lime, such were called 'cross,' now, it is genteelly "nerveous." Wrell, Ellen Jayues was very nervous, she bad also a groat regard for trifles, and very ittle power to adapt herself to circumstan ces. bbe bad, lou, a vivid imagination and having but limited opportunity for studying her husband's character before marriage, she had invested him with possible excellence; thoughtrtshe had found a man to reverence, lean upon, look up to in all thiugi. Of course sbo was bitterly disappointed. Charles Jaynes was a man of good nat ural abilities, and could render himself vory entertaining and agreeable when ho h ose;-but he had few of those domestic qualities winch make up the model hue- band. He wis not tidy in his habits, was often thoughtless and inconsiderate, aud rather selfishly fond of his own ease. Such a character was tho very antipodes of Ellen, who was possessed of much energy of character and very industrious with al. As I have said, sho was bitterly disap. pointed; and, though sho loved Charles lamented her mistake iu marrying him with uiuny secret tears. She would, prob ably, have been as miserable with any oth er husband, uuless she bad governed ber own tenipor; as it was sbo endeavored to perform the duties devolving upon her faithfully; yet she was often troubled by the delinquencies of hor husband. They irritated her; she would fiud faultand complain which did not improve matters. Such a course nevsr does. So the years rolled on, and things grew . worse aud worse. Tffe husband's love grew cold and ho became more and more . inattentive, while the cares of the wife kept incriasing and in like ratio, her fretting and fault- finding. A deplorable state of things most assuredly; jet it is not very uncommon.After the conversation wa bare record ed Eilea had so freod her mind that there cam a reaction, and we fiud her uow in her own room repentant aud sorrowful. "I am Borry I was .qnite so cross. . I suid some things I wish I could tako back but Chalcs does try me so. He ia .not bat I expected; hut that can't he he!ped now; be is my husband, and I micht a. wen make tne best of it. 1 am so miser, ble.ao unhappy, and it grows worse uud worse! . What a lifn we are loading! It i wron wrooi?. We are to live together till doath; it were wiser to make the best of my lot. Altar all, things might b worse. Charles is temperate, nnd honest aud virtuous; but who knows how long he will be, if we go on in this miserable fashion? I will begin to reform; God helping my efforts, I will subdue niy unhappy temper.. Fretting at Chadus only inukes him worse. . I will try what patience and obacr ful euduraucu will accomplish." And so Ellen Jaynes formed her first firm and good resolution, '" and - what was better still, she began at once to fulfil! it. Very many good resolutions are made-very few are kept; but this was kept. At the tea'-tublo Ellen made her appear ance becomingly dress (she wsa comelyl womm,) and with a cheerful face;' but' Mr. Jay tics' brow was clouded, aud be was Loot to be drawn into conversation. It required quite an offort to look and speak pleasantly iu the morning, for the husband still remained moody and silent; but she remembered her good resolution, and she kept it, In the afternoon he came iuto thesit'ing room of an orraod, sguin with dirty boots, but this time Ellen did not seem to not ice them. "I declare I am hungry," said he carelessly throwing himself into cnair, in a lounging attitude, which, was the special detestation of bis wife. "Aud wut, too, I perceive," said his wife, kindly; and rising, she went quickly from the room and returned bearing a plate with a tempting luucb iu ono hand; and a brush in the other. The formerhe placed in her husband's band, with the latter she brushed the drops of rain from bis nock and shoulder. Why, Ellen, what docs this all mean?'' And Charles Jaynes looked up at his wife in uuafiected astonishment. "I was afraid you would take oould, was the pleasant answer. He took the plate iu oue band, while Uie other drew the face of his wife dowu to bis for a warmer kiss than she had received for five years.' "This seems like the good old times, don't it Ellen?" "I wish they would come buck again I" was tbe answer, as she returned the kiss. lifter he had gone, our horoiuo brushed up ber carpet cheerfully, somehow it did not seem much of a' task, although there were certainly more spots than the day before, as it hud been raining ever tince. The door mat was not neglected agaiu that day, and the wardrobe came home iu the afternoon, likewise the desired oil-cloth. Ellen kept her resolution, though fiuny times sorely tempted for the habits of years are not easilv brokon up. and Charles many times muddied hor carpet, turnod the new wardrobe iuside out in search ol some articles which were noVcr tbere, aud forgot many errands, important though they wore. Cut Bbe was determined U be patient; many a murmuring word was donied utterance by closed lips. Many times did she pray for . strougth and Self- control; but sho achieved the greatest of nil victories she conquered herself. At tbe end of the month, Mr. Jaynes said ta his wife: "Oome, Ellen, pack yonr trunks, ' and we will pay your father aud mother that long-talked of visit. I have made ar-ratgeuieuts in niy business that we can have a utce loug vacation, and we will throw care (b the wiuds and have a fa. mous time of it" "Indeed, dear Charles, I should like to go; but, after all; we don't need to go from home in searoh of happiness, do we?" . "Like the Du'tous, for instance," said her husband, with a mischievous smile. "Ay, tho Duttons," with an auswering smile. . ' - . "Nevertheless, we will have our journey, though.
