" You are sober ibis evening," sa3d Mrs. LandeUto lisr husband. “I hope nothing has gone yfrong faring the day.” Hr. iLandtil, who hod been sitting with his eyes npop floor, silent and abstracted for some moments, roused himself at these vrords of Me jsife, and looked up at her, smiled in a for<^iif«y.|»hoanswered— S-V «‘Ob, noj nothing at all' has gone strong." “ DoMt yon feel well!” The voice,of Mrs. Landell was just shaded •. hut.not h> comforta ble in ■■■ "[■■■. h ~ ■ ' " Th?n something has gone wrongs" said the "Jfothing more than usual," replied Mrs [independent in everythino.3 L&ndell. The forced smile faded airay fronts his countenance. Mrs. Landell sighed. “ Than usual!” She repeated his words look ing with earnest inquiry into her husband’s face. Then she added in a tender manner— “ Bring home your trouble, dear. Don't hide anything. Let me shave with you the good and ill of life. Did you not know that hearts draw nearer in suffering than they do in joy.” “ Bless your kind heart, Alice I” said Mr. Landell, a broad smile creeping over his face as he caught her round cheeks between bis hands and kissed her. “ There isn’t anything in the case so serious as all that comes to. I’m not going to fail in business; haven’t lost anything worth speaking about; haven’t cheated, any body and don't intend to; it’s only this hasty, impulsive temper of mine that is always lead- •VSA.*vW»^v*vN^.\* ing me to say or do something that leaves a sting.” The cloud passed frCm the face of Mrs. Lan dell. , “You will overcome that in time, Edward 1 .” “ I can’t see that I make any progress. Yes terday I spoke sharply to one of my young men, when a mild reproof would have been more just and of more salutary effect. He is sensitive, and my words hurt him severely. The shadow that remained on bis face all day was my per- petual rebuke, and 1 felt it long after the sun went down. My punishment was greater than his. But the lesson of yesterday did not suffice. This morning I was betrayed into captious lan guage, and wounded the same young man,' and 'threw him off bis guard so much that he an swered me with fueling. This I regarded as im pertinence, and threatened to dismiss him from my service if he dared a repetition of bis language. When feeling subsided and thought became clear again, I saw that I been wrong and felt unhappy about it ever since. I wish that I had more self control; that I could bridle my tongue when feeling it sud denly spurred. But temperament and long in dulged habits are against me.” Mrs. Landell encouraged and soothed her husband, and so won his mind away "from its self-reproaches.. On the next morning as Mr. Landell was leaving for his store, his wife looked up at him, and with a meaning, said to him— “ Don’t.” There was the slightest perceptible warning in her tone. “ Don’t what t” Mr. Landell seemed a little puzzled. “ Don’t forget yourself." “Oh I” Light broke in upon his mind.— “ Thank you, I will notand he went forth to meet" the trials of the day. Almost the first thing that fell under the no tice of Landell was an important letter, which after writing, he had given to a clerk to copy and mail. Instead of being in Boston, as it should have been,- it lay upon his desk. Ne glect like this he felt to be unpardonable. “John,” be called sharply to a young manat the farther end of the store. “ Don’t!” it seemed to him like the voice of his wife in his ear—“ don’t forget yourself.” This mental warning came just in season.— The clerk came quietly towards him. By the time he reached the desk of Mr. Landell, the latter was under self-control. “ Why was not this letter mailed John ?” he asked. The tone was neither imperative nor captious, hut kind; and the question was asked in a way that said, of course there is good reason for omission; and so there was. “ I think, sir,” answered John, n that there is a mistake, and I thought it not best to put the letter in the mail.” “A mistake? How?” and Mr. Landell opened the letter. “ It reads,” said the clerk, “ three hnndred cases of shawls.” “Oh no; thirty eases,” replied Mr. Landell. But as he said this his eye rested on the three hundred. “Soit ia How could I have made such an error ? Ton did right, John, in not sealing the letter at all.” The clerk went bock to bis place, and the merchant said to himself, “ How glad I am that I was able to control myself. If I had spoken to that young man as I felt, I would have wronged and alienated him, and made trouble for myself all day.” Not long after this a case of goods fell throngh the hatchways, crushing down upon the landing with a noise that caused Mr. Landell, whose temperament was exceedingly nervous, to spring to his feet To blame some body was his first Impulse. “IVbat careless fellow h£s done this 7” was on his tongue. ** Don’t!” the inward monitor spoke in time. Mr. Landell shut his lips tightly, and kept silent nntil he could eommandj. himself. He then in quired calmly into the cause of the accident, and fonnd that special blame attached to none. Opening the case of goods, 1 the damage was found to be trifling. - 14 Another conquest," said Mr. Landell, as he -turned to Ms desk.

Reader, if you are quick -tempered, “don’t.” Tbe Mother. Scarcely a day passes that We do not heat of the loveliness of woman, the affection of a sis ter or the devotedness of a wife j. and it is the remembrance of such things that cheers and comforts the dreariest hours of life; yet a mother’s love for exceeds them in strength, in disinterestedness and in parity. The child of her bosom may have left her and forsaken her; he may have disregarded all her instructions and warnings, he may have become an outcast from society, and none may care for or notice him—yet his mother changes not, nor is her Idtre weakened, and for him her prayers will ascend 1 Sickness may weary other friends — misfortune drive away familiar acquaintances, and poverty leaves none to lean upon yon ; yet they affect not a mother’s love; • bat only call into exercise in a still greater degree her ten derness and affection. The mother has duties to perform which are weighty and responsible; the lisping infant must be taught how to live—the thoughtless child must be instructed in wisdom’s ways—the tempted youth be adyised and warn* ed—the dangers and difficulties of life must be pointed out, and lefcsons of virtue must be im pressed on the mind. Her words, acts, faults, frailties and temper, are all noticed by those who surround her, and impressions in the nur sery exert a more powerful influence in fanning the character, than do any after instruction. If passions'are unrestrained—if truth is not adhered to—if consistency is nojt &een —if there be want of affection or a murmuring at the dis pensationa of Providence-; the! youthful mind will receive the impression, and snbsequentlife will develop it; but if aU is parity, sincerity, truth, contentment and love, then will the re sult be a blessing, and many will rejoice in the example and influence of the pious mother.
