She suffered with a chronic cold in the head, which gave her an extremely sympathetic manner. "Able to besilrring," replied Mr. Hinkle, shuffling on in his brown leather moccasins. Even a cabbage head may be, as it usually is, ruffled inside; _and deep in his slow beating heart Mr. Hinkle was annoyed at sight of Miss Niddlings and the em broideredbed-ticking bag which be tokened a week's visit. "Laviny's putchiky enough with out being set on," ~aid he, leaning on his hoe in the favorite attitude adopted by scstre-erows. "Yes, I' really thins: she is," he went on, weighing the proposition deliberate ly. "Not that I mind her being spry-tempered and spitting out at me. It's only a way she has, and comes of her enjoying such poor health. She'll cool down; but that old maid hain't any call to rile her;" and here Mr. Hinkle gave the hoe- I handle a resentful poke, as If it per sonated the spincer aforesaid. Like many men not alfted in public speak- I ing, he was much given to talking I aloud when elope. Indoors, his 1 wife claimed exclusive right of I speech. "And here I've stuck, like a dab of putty, from the day I married with Reuben," ShO was saying to Miss Niddlins. "I've hall to walk on eggs, or his folks would be in my hair. They've had their remarks to make about all my doings, and, you may depend upon it, it grinds." Mrs. Hinkle must have been ground very sharp indeed, judging , by her cutting tongue. "Poor thing !" groaned Mrs. Nid dies, using her handkerchief just then, because it would produce the I effect of pity. "See how I was put upon this morning by his sister Phebe," said Mrs. Hinkle, moving the end of her nose rapidly back and forth with her forefinger, as if she was playing on a jewsharp. "That woman had the impudence to twit me of neglecting Reuben. because I leave him to get his own supper sewing -circle nights!" "Don't tell me so!" sniffed Miss Niddlius. "Did Mr. Hinkle com plain to her?" "Catch him complaining!" cried Mrs. Hinkle; "ho hasn't got spunk enough. Why he's .no wore grit than a haystack, at4he's as soft. 1 couldn't make him break with his folks If I was to suffer.. Wish I was single. then I wouldn't be nosed round by 'ern. Now here you are, free to go when you please' " Miss Niddltns sighed an affirma tive. It was her peculiar trial that her relatives never opposed her go ing. 'lf you were to separate,' suppose you've got enough to live on," sug• Bested she cautiously. Mrs. Hinkle's rocker jerked itself into a full stop. She had often said that "Reuben must choose betwixt his folks and her," that "she would take herself off," and the like; but to have a third person hint zit a separa tion startled her. "Well—yes," said she, hesitating ly. "I've got the property,' brought with me when I was married: I won't deny but what Reuben has done the fair thing there; but then,if he'dbeen some men, lie might have doubled it by this time. The long and short of it is. he's half asleep. I have to keep stirring ..him up, and, after all, he don't appreciate me!" "I believe it would wake him pret ty thoroughly if you Shoaid leave him," returned Miss Niddlins. "He'd begin to realize what a smart wife he'd lost." "He'd clutter the kitchen with his greasy harnmses, and camp down on the lounge in his boots—that's what he'd do—the minute I was off!" mapped Mrs Hinkle. '• He couldn't, manage without you, to save his life," declared Miss Nid dlins, confidently. "He'd go down on his knees to you to get you back." • Mrs. Hinkle seemed flattered by the idea. . "A pretty figure he'd cut," laugh ed she.

"Tisn't none of her doings," said Mr. Hinkle, slowly, punishing the wheel with his whiplash; "but she's in a terrible nervous way, and I think may be she needs something. What's good for her nerves?" "I don't know, withot it's a sound scolding," replied Miss Phebe. with her mciuth full of clothespins. "Now, sister, you'er hard on Lavi ny," said Mr. Hinkle, in an injured tone. "She ain't tough, like what you be." "Her, temper is tough enough; but I'm suited it you are, poor soul!" and Miss Phebe hunted for both sage and valerian, though inwardly per suaded that all the poppies in the world could nit soothe Laviny when she once got "set out." Meanwhile Mrs. Hinkle had been doing a furious forenoon's work, and, ready to drop from exhaustion, was just hanging up the mop after scrub bing the kitchen floor, whin dear, blundering old Reuben scuffed across the threshold, with his torn paper bags, scattering dried leaves like an autumn wind, and leaving muddy moccasin tracks it every step. Be fore those clumsy foot prints Mrs. Hinkle's feeble forbearance fled. The herbs her husband •htpl , trusted might prove a narcotic ucted. upon hems a powerful Irritant: , • "Reuben Hinkle!" said she, brac ng • her aching back against - your litter?" • "There, there! now don't fret," pleaded Reuben; "I'll sweep it up. You do putter round more'n you're able, that's a fact. You know I'm ready and willing to hire a girl any day. "A girl smouchlng my paint !" cried Mrs. Hinkle, in wrath. "Put down the broom, Reuben; you've made tracks enough. Your folks shall never have that handle, that I spent your money on hired hetp.'• "You're rather hard on 'em, Lavi ny," said Mr. Hinkle; "they mean well by you. Here's Phebe now been and sent you sntnething stilling. I told her what a fizz your nerves had been in lately." "So you've been running me down 1 , to your folks?" cried Mrs. Hinkle, glaring at her husband. "After all I've stood from'you, Reuben, it's too much." Mr. Hinkle Vas a mild man—mild as milk; but even the sweetest of milk will sometimes turn sour in a thunder-storm, and oft-recurring matrimonial tempests had had their effect upon him. "I've always made excuses for you, Laviny, and tried my best to live peaceable," said he, slowly; "but I believe 'taint in the power of mor tal man to get along with you." Then, in state of great amazement at himself, he went out to untackle Dobbin, and sow the turnip seed. Listening in vain for the dinner horn, he returned to the house half an hour past noon to find the fire out, his unlucky mud-prints dried upon the floor, and his wife absent. "Gone off in a huff to her sister Tripp'. I guess," said he, patiently, setting out the Sunday remnant of beans. "I'd have hitched up if I'd had known she wanted to go. She wouldn't speak to me, I s'paie, cause I'd rated her. I hadn't oughter done it—that's a fact." Having relieved his mind by this last confession, Mr. Hinkle ate his dinner with an excellent appetite, and in due time his supper also, his wife not having appeared. "I expect she calculates for me to go for her, and I'd better be off," said he, as he strained the milk with extreme care and deliberation, and by this means let a slow stream tin kle down the outside of the pail on the spotless pantry floor. "\Vhy, if there ain't Azra Tripp now !" and as he spoke, in at the west door came his wife's brother-in-law, with un willing feet, as though goaded on by spears of the setting sun behind him. "Laviny ain't sick, I hope?" said Mr. Hinkle, anxiously. "No; 'tisn't that, l ' replied Mr. Tripp, twisting his forefinger under his collar, as if his cravat choked him —"'tisn't that, but—" "She's getting most out of patience waiting for me, I suppose," suggest ed the unsuspecting Reuben. "Weil, I'd oughter gone afore, only the off ox broke through the fence, and— "Laviny says she won't come back," interrupted Mr. Tripp, des perately; "for she's lived with you as long as she could stand it!" Mr. Hinkle flopped down like a starchiess dickey. "I might have knowed she couldn't bear what I do." groaned he. "This morning when she was blowing of we, I spoke harsh to her; I don't see how I come to. But. Ezra, you don't think, now, she won't never come around?" Mr. Tripp muttered something &sent his sister-in-law being "pretty resolute," and turned away. "I wish you'd carry over Laviny's cough medicine," said Mr. Hinkle, rousing himself. "Lord! to think of her hacking in the night, and me not hearing heel And, Ezra, I'd take it kindly of you if you'd step in in the morning and tell me how she Tasted." Mr. Tripp consigned the bottle to his coat pocket, while Reuben, re turning to the deserted kitchen, whiehalready wore a masculine air, tilted his chair against o the wall and listened to the dirges f the frogs, or gave expression to his feelings by singing, ~ .._ ... . .. , .......„. —,..„.....„..„ ,-, -;;:,-....,,,,,,,,,-,,A-r; r ~,,r f, -i r. : ;- -,; ‘, . .;- , - . , . .4..- -• .- „y - , , ,,,r ;f4;1?., ,r i:;', .. .:-.1Fit:41. : ";":-:•17 -• -:•;.:''.- = -•, " :::;.••-•`..-:: -. • --, r. - ; •',.

"I wish you had some of my spir it. Reuben Hinkle," said she, coil ing her back hair with a rapid circu lar motion, as if she were winding herself up; •'if you had, you would not go near Laviny for one while. She's contrary, and depend upon it she'll be a. great deal more apt to come if you don't tease her. I'll keep home for you, so don't you be a mite concerned. ' Mr. Hinkle groaned in answer. As dough is without yeast, so was be without Laviny. "He neeeed her to keep him up," he said pathetical ly, and though tortures would not have wrung from her the confession, it way equally true that Lavine needed hiiii to keep her down. Some leaven is safest hidden in its three Measures of meal. Certainly, in her husband's presence, Mrs. Hinklehad been a patient tiriselda, compared to what she now s was, freed from home restraints. She fretted and fumed in an explosive manner, raising an un wonted fermentation in the Tripp household. She hated his folks, she hated Reuben for not hating them, she hated herself for having borne their interference so long, and declar ed she had not had "the temper of a fly"—bich, Indeed. was quite true. . But the ,week wore on without brlngin the Coveted vision of - her husban t her-feet, the effervescence of her mood wasiast subsiding, when 4ilifh.s-Wo./.,W be crowded out of her lie ' — fit; folks! She knew now why Reuben did not come. They had been set ting him against her. What if he should never come? For the first time this thought intruded itself, and in her anguish she sought relief in the camphor bottle. What right had Phebe in her kitchen, solacing Reuben with delec table cookery, when he'should have been hungering in solitude after his wife. She declared such conduct would provoke a saint, though she . did not give her authority for this conviction. One thing was sure, Pheimashould not have the washing of her teaspoons, and without delay Mrs. Hinkle sent a juvenile Tripp to remove these and other personal val uables, choosing the dinner hour for the errand, that the scenic effect might be greater. When Mr. Hin kle was forced to stir his tea with a fork, perhaps be would be in more haste to conciliate his wife! The plan was well laid; but it failed in the ex ecution through the tardiness of little Joe, who, having a woodchuck to at- I tend to on the way, did not reach his uncle's till the remains of the dinner lay cold on the pantry shelf, and Mr. Hinkle was half a mile away at his afternoon ploughing. Miss Phebe sent the spoons obedi ently, inwardly resolved that Reu ben should not know of this proof of "Laviny's ugliness;" for she was well aware that only her own -re peated assurances that Laviny would soften toward him, if left to herself, and kept him passive thus ftr. "Seeni's if I wasn't doing the handsome thing not to go nigh her," he often said. 'I wonder whether or no she ain't counting on my fetch ing hell" "It she comesof her free will she'll he likely to stay, but," Miss Phebe would answer; "but try to drive her, and you know what Laviny is." Mr. Hinkle did know, unfortu nately, and, knowing, schooled him self to patient waiting. Thus the days wore on, and he plodded through the spring work, cheered a little in spite of himself by Miss Phebe's earnest efforts at ma king him comfortable, while Laviny, mortified and alarmed by his non appearance, worried herself into a course of exasperating sick-head aches, and in every sense shut out the sunlight from the house of the Trippa. In the midst of paint-scrub ping Mrs. Tripp found no leisure to devote to her complaining sister, but left one of her children to wait upon her. Mrs. Hinkle felt abused. When had Reuben been too busy to bathe her aching temples? Little Joe made her nervous as a witch, and one day she told him so, and a mo ment after had the satisfaction of hearing him say to histuother in the kitchen that ho "couldn't get along with Aunt Laviny nohow. Why, that was just what Reuben had said—Reuben, who had never spoken hastily in his life! Was she an uncomfortable person to live with? " 'Taint in the power of mortal man toget along with you, Laviny." The words came back to her with the startling force of a proof-text. and haunted her afterward continu ally. it must have been in rhubarb time, for dandelion greens had gone by, when ono morning little Joe rushed in with the terrible tidings that "Uncle Reuben had fallen ker chunk from a beam in the barn." Mrs. Hinkle tore the bandages from her head and started up.. , "Where's my bonnet, Susan: . l'in going borne!" "Maybe ho isn't badly injured. Wait till we hear further," urged Mrs. Tripp. "I tell you I'm going home, Susan Tripp! Where's nay bonnet?" , and snatching it by the string, Mrs. Hin kle sprang into the wagon just vaca ted by her nephew, and drove itway at a doctor's pace.

"Sister Harriet" took the, threadbare garment, and holding it at arm's length, gave it a long and critical examination,. Bat while they are peering about the button holes and sighing over the secession of warp from woof r let us look about the house a little. It does not differ materially from other farm houses in Rhode Island. It is very old, with a tong, low roof. Outside, large boulders of almost collossal size, everywhere greet the eye. One stands at the corner of the fence, and is used for a horseblock. Within the house how very primi tive is every article of furniture. In that great fireplace wood was cheer ily crackled for more than a hundred years in delightful unconsciousness of stoves. Oh. well, it rests my eyes to look into that old-fashioned apart ment. Bat the most antique thing of ail is that giant man so anxiously eying- his Sunday coat. He might have come over in the Ark: indeed, now that I think of it, he does re-' semble Japheth in Rossiter's pal* Ind; of Noah and his family, which I once had thepleasure of seeing. But he is dressed in a blue and a white overfrock, is barefooted, and holds his oxgqad over his shoulder, from which is suspended a pair of hoots. "Will it dew, Harriet?" The sis ter, a true New England woman, and fertile iu theart of "making do," probed the wounds of the forlorn garment, and spoke hopefully of Its recovery. "I guess I can make it last a spell, Gideon; I'll try." And taking down her shears she went at her work with the zeal of a martyr. Gideon Lamb, unlike the original Japheth, was an old bachelor, nor was he as poor as his nervous anxiety about his Sunday coat would seem to indicate; for if you will follow him on his journey you will see that he has a good yoke of oxen, and a load of ship timber which he is drawing to "The Pint"—the nearest seaboard town. .On he trudges, fur he is too thoughtful of the oxen to ride; not speaking a kind word to old 'Duke. now an admonitory one is old Darby, and then relapsing into silence, and perhaps thinking of "Harriet", at home, r, so!:!*:!PYlsweOt -y s g =t ette, Mrs. Ham, have played the coquette with him before the flood ?

He trudges along, pittying the poor oxen, wondering if the birds are going crazy with their singing, wishing the "folks weren't so extrav agant, and then there would be so roach want," until he comes within sight of 'The Pint," and then he be gins his toilet. He sits down on a stone and draws on his boots; he takes off the blouse and displays a second Sunday coat that baffles de scription; he runs his fiagers through his grizzly hair, jumps on his load, and is away. Having disposes! of his timber, he walks into the bank— don't be alarmed for his sanity, dear reader. lie is a bank director, and owns shares in this and other money institutions to the amount of thirty thousand dollars, and his head is a little clearer in financial matters than any one's else. And so, his bus iness done, he starts for home, stoo ping at the old familiar stone to take off his boots, and then, eating his luncheon, he and the oxen trudge along in right good fellowship. On his arrival Harriet triumphantly displayed his coat. "There, Gideon, mother couldn't have beat that; now could she? "Wa'al now, Harriet, I'blieve you've got a knack at dewin' things. I like to look respectable, but' I tell you what, I don't want to be extrav agant. You know it says in the Bi ble. 'Consider the lilies of the field, they don't stand fun' up—they put on just what comes handy, and yet Solomon in all his glory was not ar rayed like one on 'em.' " Some might have thought his allusion to the gorgeous raiment of the lilies very unfortunate, but it did not strike Harriet so. She patted a johny-cake on a board, and put it down before the coals to bake, she hUng the iron teakettle over the fire. and busied herself with her brother's supper. "Harriet," said Gideon. "I've seen Elder Cole down in "The Pint' to-day, and guess what he wants us to dew. lie wants us to give him an outline of our family history—, our father's and mother's death—for sotnethin' he is gitten' up. I knew I couldn't make nothin' of it, but I knew you could, Harriet—you can do anything.' " "Why, Gideon said Harriet; "but then if he wants it we'll both try." There had been a time when this now lonely house had been quite a sheepfold, for the family of Lambs was originally numerous, hut tnese two were all that now survived. Harriet, in the eyes of her brother, was the embodiment of all that was desirable in woman. There was no thing she couldn't do that was Worth doing. He had never denied her anything, but her wants were as simple as his. She was fifteen years younger that he, with a clinging, de pendent nature that was winding it self every year more closely around this giant brother until they two seemed to o one. So. after supper they began talk over what year it was that sister Sally died, and broth er Joshua, and then the dear old mo ther, and what father said last, and altogether it ended in a fit of weep ing. Parsimonious as Gideon Lamb was, to his praise be it said, no one in the neighborhood ever lacked a load of wood or a plenty of meal; but velvet bonnets for the minister's wife, and gold watches as a surprise gift to the minister were his especial apomi nation. The family history progressed slowly, for Harriet's pen was un couth, "It when it was done, Gideon said, t couldn't be beat." was ._,.....—.,,....: , Arra looms - , k lirerst it *olit o fu : .t, haw williirtistor, iks kt. 5 1 ** , • . - P a r h t lid vai! 4 * ' , F tia ii k is on til#l,ol - of focal ' . ,4141_ _ Jrili.

It oppretvie4 him; but how can it be relieved ? Helhiuks of that willful woman that always boasted she could marry him, but he shakes his head. Harriet's place would still be empty. Then there was poor old Widow Lane; but-he said to himself, "he b'lieved he'd rather - find her in wood and meal, and let her stay where she was." As to young girls, they were out of thequestion. "They would Jest laugh at him and use up his money. No, indeed, he wouldn't be bothered with,one on 'em." It happened one day that Gideon was down on the bank in his usual style. lie had been reckoning up his aeopunts to see how much he was worth. "I must be wutb," said Gideon, "Not fur from fifty aunisand dollars. I wish I hadn't got so much. What shall Ido with it ?t At last the rebellion broke out, and it was really a godsend to "tipor Gideon. He loved his country,- and now, in its sore tribulation he took it to his heart. True, he could not fight for it, for one foot had given out, and every joint had a touch of rheumatism, but he could worry about it, and prey for it—for Gideon was truly a praying man. As far as an idea could, it seemed to tilt Har riet's vacaut ''At last he made up his mind to give all his income for one year to the families of volun teers, "purvided," us he said "they'd promise not to he extravagant." Every day he went to "The Pint" to get the news. It happeded that just after the defeats on the Peninsu la, being sore at heart, be stepped in at Elder Cole's to get a tittle "medi cine for the mind." "I tell you what, Elder, things Wok. pritty dark. I'm alluvia glad Harriet's out ofthe world afore she knowlii about this trouble. Wa'al, ten years ago or so it wasn't a bad time to die." "You're just the man I wanted to see," raid the minister. "You've got a clear head, and here's a ease I want you to look through. There was a member or my church by the name of John Clark who felt it was his duty to , enlist._ :Heltad. .AlCer he'd been gone three months of sick and died, and now poor `. John has just been killed at Malvern Hill. He died like a hero, tno. Now what's to be done with the lit tle ones?" "Is it fur over there?" said Gideon. "No; do you want to see them?" "Wa'al sposin' we walk over there?" So they went to an hum ble dwelling in the outskirts or the town, and there they saw the six or phans—the eldest, Amy, a girl of twelve sears of age, doing all the work, and everything about looking so poor. Wa'al said Gideon, "there don't seem to be nothiu' extravagant about 'em. I b'lieve I'll take 'em home with me—and save the Gov ernment a pension. A penny saved is a penny arned, you know; and be- - sides, ever since Harriet died"—here the voice began to falter—"its been kinder lonesome !' So the children tied tip their scan ty bundles, and, jumping into the ox cart, rode home with himlhat very day. I dare say it never occurred to them, as they watched the old man, barefootted, and limping along with his rude white oak crutch, that there was anything singular in his appear ance. They rather liked his looks. Grave and thoughtful as his face - was, the curves of his lips had their bits of dry humor about them that told as plainly as words that he had not forgotten his boyhood. He ask- • ed them if they loved but' nuts, and if they '•posed they'd know huckle berries if they was to see 'em When at last they reached the old homestead their delight knew no bounds. They frolicked and laugh• ed as much as they chose, for there was nothing in Uncle Gideon's man ner, a silent man though he was, that rebuked them. Uncle Gideon took great pains to send the children to school, for, as he told them, "A little book larnin' comes good, for who knoWs but one of these days some on you will want to be writin' up a ilimlly history of your own, just as sister Harlet did?" It is Sabbath morning, and old Un cle Gideon has on his "ineetin' coat." It Is the identical one that his sister mended ten years ago, and looks about as fashionable now as it did then. Amy Clark is affectionately brushing it, very much as Harriet would have done. A kindly look lights up Uncle Gideon's benevolent grey eyes. He gazes on the little group, and fancies he sees in each Child a "Utile look like Barriet." Who will say that our venerable friend was not in the highest sense a patriot ? And if We had a regiment of the same stamp would it not be it blessing to our country ? Volatility of words is carelessness in actions.—Laster.
