THE DS3EKTED HOMESTEAD.
The garden pnte, with its rusty hinges,
Swings creaking in the idle wind ;
And weeds choko up tho graveled walks
Tlmt erst with pinks nud box were lined:
And thistles flourish everywhere,
And briars thrive where roses blow;
.-lnd opiate poppies make tho nir
Seem drowsy where the lilies grow.
Tho porch, where loving linnds had trained
The prairie bush, whose blossoms red,
Freighted tho air with plensnnt scents,
Is fallen, nnd the bush is dead ;
Wide yawn the wiudows nn I the doors,
The chimney totters on the roof,
And nioss nnd ivy deflly now
Weave ever nil n warp nnd woof.
Untouched, the fruillcis trees decay:
L'ncared for dies t lie climbing vine
No hnnd to pluck tho mellow fruit,
No hand to press tho purplo wine,
And where tho household inmates canio
To ipiatT tho waterclear nnd cool,
Xaught now rcmnins of bubbling springs
Save Blimy stones nud brackish pool.
Here, undisturbed, the swallows come,
And robins, with thcij ruddy breast3 ;
And hero the droning wasp nnd bee
With cunning skill contrive their nests
Tho spider trails its fragile web
Athwart the liesvy oaken boams ;
And constantly the dentli-watcli ticks
Within llio wainscot's dusty seams.
And those whose voices echoed here,
H hose feet had pressed the garden waU-,
Who shall of their long absence tell!
Or who their wanderings can mark?
Their voices may be hushed for nye,
And foot that respite never knew
From weary wnlks in life's long day,
May have tho gates of Heaven passed
through.

Mr. an l Mr.?. Ilobbs had been mar.
rieil nbfuit two years, and durinp; that
time had been very happy. They lov.
rd each other dourly, nnd had never hud
tho least niistindor.standin. Indeed it
was their boast that they h:id never uar
rcllcd, nnd they were honosily anxious
never to do so.
Mr. Ilnbbs was a merchant. He had
beynn business fur himself a few years
previous to his nnrriaire, nnd was doinp;
troll. Still he was forced to live plainly,
r.nd to use eeoiiiiitiv in all thins.
His wife was n prctt-, loving little
body, and devoted to her husband. She
was always ready to enter iiito any of
bis plans', anil to assist him by every
mean in her power. There was one
drawback, however. Mrs. Ilnbbs' mo
ther, who was at heart a y-ood woman,
who really loved her d.utohter, was eon
tintially making trouble for the younjr
couple, which they avoided only by a
determination not to fjunrel. Mrs. lbtw.
son bad always ruled in her own family,
and bciti'j a firm believer in the old ad
ae, " My daughter's my daughter all
the days of her life," theuu'ht tdic had a
riht to overlook nnd exercise her power
in the household of that dauaditei'.
Thus far she. bad produced no real
harm, but there waj constant tinnier of
j her doin; so, for Mrs. Ilobbs had
orown up to rejrard her mother's judj.
went with irreat. consideration.
Mr. Ilobbs dreaded the result of his
motber in. law's course, but, not wishing
to make tmv distiir'nnee. thought it
best to remain silent until he should bo
called upon to speak to his wife about
the matter.
Mrs. llawson did not mean to do
harm ; but she bad rather unforfutnte
ideas on the subject of n husband's au
thority, and believed that in matters
sliietly domestic he bad none at all.
Had she believe 1 that her conduct was
an interference in affairs with which
she bud no rit;bt to meddle, she would
have abandoned it at once. 1'nt was
pot her daughter her own child ? and
did not all that concerned her child
concern her ? Thus she reasoned, and
nnd thought herself perfectly justifiable
in U she did.
One day when Mr. Ilobbs returned
home from his business, ho found Mrs.
Dawson there ot h visit to her daughter.
Unrinjr '.ho evening, Mrs. Ilobbs, turn
iiiij to her husband, fa'd :
" licorice, don't you think wc need a
parlor carpet ? "
" Does'nt tfii.- cue suit you ? " ho ask
ed in surprise.
" No, I don't think it does," she re
plied hesilatintily. " It is quite worn
mid shabby, and I'm ushamed for visit
ors to see it."
" ft seems to mo a very nice one,"
Faid her husband, I think it quite n
pretty carpet, and I think it will ansi er
very well. Besides, Lucy, I cannot af
ford to buy a new one just now."
" -1other raw oue at Smith's this
moruinir," said -Trs. Ilobbs, "which
she thinkb would suit me very well. It
is cheap, too, only a hundred nnd fifty
dollars." '
" Is that all ? " asked her husband,
iauphtnor.
" les, and T am very auxious to have
a new carpet."
"I would like to oblige you, Lucy ;
but I cannot afford to spend" so lar-o a
sum for u carpet when we do not abso
lutely need it."
" You might afford it if you would,
George," said Mrs. Dawson. Lucy is
not cxtrayaoant, nnd s!,Q kno'ws your
household wants better than vou do. T
think hef request reasonable, and I
think you ouuht to gratify it."
"I have every disposition to "ratify
my wife, ' said Gcnrpe. " but I cannot
do so in this instance' 1 know that we
do not need a new carpet, nnd I know
that 1 cannot spend so much money for
one. So hero the matter must rest for
the present, nd j. hope Lucy will sco
bejusttoe of niy position."
" There is very little jtistiecabout. it,"
said Mrs. Dawson sharply. " lour
wife is the )(,?t j,io;o of h?r wants, and
with your income it is your duty to
Errant cvcry reasonable request from
her."
" Kxctiso me." Faid Oeorp;e, " but we
will not Orsue this subject now. I have
decided not to buy tho carpet. There
the matter must end.
jVrs. Dawson flushed anjrrily. but said
nnthinir. Phe went homo quite early,
and thoroughly out of humor. It was
the first time she had met with any de
cided opposition, and hho wns indignant
at it, Sins rcsiilvod that she would car.
ry her point nt all hazards.
"fJeorfsi.' paid .1rs. IToMis ns they
Fat in the parlor in silence after her
mother's departure, "you ouaht to have
been more pontic with mother she doc3
not mean nnv harm."
"I nm always anxious to treat your
mother with the highest respect," said
her husband, but I cannot allow her to
interfere with my domestic affairs. She
will only make mischief."
Tho next day .Vrs. Pawson beyan
her attempts to carry her point. She
was determined that her daughter
should have a new carpet now at all
hazards, if it was nnlv to be revenr-cd
upon Mr. ITobbs. She iirtjnd upon her
daughter the necessity of having a new
carpet, and above all of managing her
affairs her own way.
"It is your business to look after
your own house," she said, and your
husband has no rijrht to interfere,
f 1 corse is fully able to o-rati(y yem in
this matter, and. T must say it, dear, he
is acting very badly in refusing to do
so."
Mrs. ITobbs was in a most unenvia
ble position. She was a devout be
liever in her mother's infallibility in
household matters, but also a pood wife.
Nevertheless she was not a womae of
independence and was easily influenced.
Mrs. Dawson, on the other hand, was a
woman of strong wdl and determina
tion, uml she pressed her attacks vigor
ously, so that she soon succeeded in
convincing Mrs. Ilobbs that her bus.
band was deuyiug her tho carpet, she
wanted merely to exert his power over
her. This was a point gained, and
fiom this Mrs. Dawson succeeded iu
persuading her daughter to get tho car
pet 011 her own responsibility, and say
nothing of it to her husband until it
was put down on tho floor.!
'dieorgo will never refuse to pay the
bill." she said, ' aul it will do uo harm
to teach him a lesson."
At lirst Mrs. Ilobbs revolted at the
idea of deceiving her husband in such
a manner, but her mother succeeded in
persuading her that there vras no barm
in it.
The carpet wat bought, charged to
Mr. Ilobbs, and scut homo. Mrs.
Dawsou came d.iily, aud assisted her
daugh.cr in makim; it up; and, in a
few days it was ready to put down. This
was fully six weeks from the titno when
the subject was first mentioned.
Mr. Ilobbs had heard nothing more
of the carpet since the night on which
he had declined to buy it. His if hole
silence on the subject he construed into
a cheerful ac piiescnce on her part in his
decision, and ho loved her all tho bet
ter fur her conduct. At lust, having
succeeded in some speculations in which
he was engaged, and having realized a
largo sum from thciu, ho determined to
reward bis wife, for what ho supposed
her noodness, by giving her u new aud
handsome, carpet for her parlor. Aud
so it happened, that on the very day
on which Mrs. Ilobbs and her mother
were engaged iu putting down the new
carpet. Mr. Ilobbs went to tho store
from which they had bought it, to se
lect one, haviug resolved to surprise his
wife with it. His ustoiiishiuctit was
very great, when, upon asking to seo
soiuo carpets, ha was told that Mrs.
Ilobbs had puruhasod one a few days
before, lie ufked for the bill and paid
it in sileuee. Ho was shocked and
puiued de"ply to find that his wife,
whom he trusted so entirely, should do
ceive him so grs.--ly. He thought tho
matter over, and saw at last tho causj of
J. F. MOOIiE, Publisher.
TEIl.lIS-l no IVr IVnr fit .fff l nre.
his wife's conduct, and quietly deter
mined on his own course.
When he went home that evening,
he found his wife and Mrs. Dawson in
the dining-room, waiting him. Mrs.
Ilobbs was pale and nervous. Tho new
carpet was down and she knew that her
husband must know all about it that
evening. She dreaded the disclosure,
for shb felt that tho had done wrong.
Mrr. Dawson, however, wan smiling and
triumphant.
Alter tea, Mrs. Ilobbs, instead o! go.
ing into the parlor as was his custom,
took a seat by tho dining.room fire, and
called his wife to him.
"Lucy," he said, without lookiug nt
her, "do you remember asking me, about
six weeks ago, to give you a new parlor
carpet?"
"Yes," nuswered Mrs. Hobb faintly.
"I refused to do so then," continued
her husband, "because I could not nf.
ford it. I was very hard pressed for
money, and could not spare so largo a
sum. llecently, however, I have been
fortunate iusomc speculations, and I de
termined yesterday to reward you for
your goodness in so quietly and cheer
fully giving up your fancy, by buying
you a new carpet."
"O George don't," cried his wife,
bursting into tears. "Don't talk to me
so. I don't dci.ervc it. "I but she
broke down.
"I know all about it, dear," said her
husband kindly. "I paid tiie bill this
morning. Kut tell me," ho added, "did
you do this of your own accord, or in
compliance with your mother's urging?"
"I yielded to her, but I felt all the
while that I was doing wrong," subbed
Mrs. Ilobbs.
"I know it, said her husband, but it
will not happen again." Mrs. Dawson,
he continued, addressing that lady, who
sat looking on with a decidedly crest
fallen air, "you see what you havo ac
complished. You have made, my wife
deceive nie, and wounded me deeply.
You havo interfered where you had no
right to do so ; and until you learn that
iu my house my authority, which will
never seek to deprive my wife of any.
thing I can give her, is supreme. I think
it will bo best for all parties that you
reiu-tin away from us. When you visit
us in a proper spirit, wo shall always
be glad to soo you ; but if you come
only to produce such harm as this, you
had better not come at all."
Mrs. Dawson left the house without
speaking. She was completely humbled.
