My house Is "liunible, yet within irs Valla Contentment doth abide; And fnmi the wimrs of Peace R blessing fails. Like dew-at eventide Yon think my Sont Is narrow, liko the room Wherein I toil for bread. And thnt, because oblivion in my doom, I Plight as well he dead. Yet arc yon sure the riches arc Hot thine. The poverty your no ? Is he not rich who finds his lot divine, In htfvcl or on throne ? You Judge me by the narrow bonndarios 'Twist which my body moves; lint I behold a wider land that lies Free to the soul that loves. Is that not mine in which I hourly tato My l.-irness Of delight ? Are not all things created for hid sake Who retuU their meaning right ? Is it not mine, this liuidscjipe I behold ? Mine to enjoy and use Tor all life's noblest uses, though no gold II;u made it mine to lose? said the stranger. , "J "Good morninc, sir. IlaTe'awMit?1' Mr. Ti'ipler liad no very strong social ele ments in his nature, so he stilly inclined h'w head and kept on his way. But the first he knew two iron grasps were on In.- shoulder, he felt himself twirled suddenly round, like a huinnn humming top, and seated with more force than was exactly agieeable oq the boulder. 'What do you mean " 'Dear me!"' suddenly interrupted this Uncomfortable companion, "what a very nicohatyou have. Xow, what do you say to My poor little Porothy ! I have been to ha:d upon her. Suppose just snppose I should die without being able to tell how ashamed I am of having been such a brute !" . It was not the dry bread tliat choked Nathan Tripler just then it was the hu miliating ense ot his own sins and short comings. Next morning it was bread and wafer again. Natliau thought of Dorothy's de spised coffee and grumbled at steak. "I've deserved ft,'' thought Nathan V "there's no mistake about that. Pobr, dar ling little Doroihv ! how her heart is aching exchanging hats? Mine is a very uioi straw, j for uie j w jsh j stroi;e Jijwn her hair just once. "Oh, "it's hard to be treated so, even though I know I'm served MAD IN SPITEOF HIMSELF. "Every thing -goes wrongO' said Mr. Trip ler, laying down his knife HHd fork with the fare of a martyr. There are some people in the world with whom "everything'' seems chronically to o wrong there are some who-e first infantine wa4Hs nttcreJ in the minor key, and who go on lamenting through life ; and of this mucli abused class Mr. Nathan Tripler was a burn ing and a shining light. "What's tire matter, dear?'' questioned Mrs. Tripler, who sat opposite her husband with a round eyed baby on Iter knee, and two or th rcc little tines clamoring for their share of the matutinal lueal on either siJa of her. Mf".. Tripler Xvas a trim, nently-mndt little woman, with blue eyes and flaxen hair a woman who might have leeti pretty. could she have divested herseirnf a certain '. frightened, npprehensive look that came j over her face whenever her liege lord spoke or looked toward her. Not that Dorothy , Tripler was actually afiaid her husliand j had lfcvcr "Cither lieateii her or used coercive measures, "hut when a man ljcgins to find fault, a woman never is easy in her mind lest some domestic screw should be wuxing loose. "I can't eat n mouthful, Dorothy,vcroakcd Mr. Tripler, dolelully. "Such ctKjking! and such food ! Ymi may as well turn that new cook of yours into the street at oTH-e." "15ut, Nathan, F I am very sorrj', but I eooked the breakfast myself, dcar this morn ing. Isn't it nice?" "Nice?"' Yes very nice for those who Tan digest leather and drink dish-water!" "The biscuits are fresh and hot, Nalhan." "I don't want to be poi.-oned with hot bread," "And I thought the steak was unusually tender." No reply. Mr. Tripler had folded his arms and was gazing with an expression of abstracted despair at tire ceiling. "Will you have f.rrcthcr cup -of Toffee?" timidly questioned his wife. "Coffee? Is that coffee? Really I thought it was hot water that had got into the uro by mi-take !'' "I will order some fresh made.' said Mrs. Tripler, with her hand oti the b -II rope. "You will do tin such thing, ma'am, if you please,'" said Mr. Tripler, shortly. "My appetite is completely destroyed." "Wi',1 you have an egg boiled ?" "N.b' ."There's some Very nice ham in the pantry." "I dare say there always is when I don't want it." "I am very sorry, Nat'ian," said poor little Mrs. Tripler. despairingly. Yes she was sorry, this faiihful, much en during wife; nor did the frequent repetition of this domestic storm at all abate her peni tence and sense of guilt. S uae women would have got accustomed to the dally til ttirlianee and thrown it off A- si fohin casts the dew-drops from her wSng. Not so Doro thy Tripler. She was too sensitive, too Conscientious too delicately organised to laugh off her troubles as some surface deep characters would have done. So when her husband had departed, still grumbling under his breath, as he slammed the door, sho leaned her throbbing head ujion one weary little hand and murmured softly to her-elf, "Oh, I wish Nathan was different!" Then, as if she had uttered high treason, she started to her feet, checking the .sensa tion or repining, and began industriously to prepare the three apple-c'ieccked, tow-headed little Triplers for school. "It's Monday morning and Nathan don't like them to lie too late," thought the meek spirited wife. Meanwhile Mr. Tripler was slowly walk ing down the path through the wild and solitary gleu that led to the road where, twice a day, the Lcndville stage rolled by, conveying passengers to the train at Martin's Station. It was cheaper to live in the country, and so Mr. Tripler lived there, al though, as far as actual tastes went he didn't know a buttercup from a burdock As Nathan trudged along, thinking how best to get rid of eoine troublesome shares of railway stock that were sinking uncom lortably on his hands, he suddenly became conscious of the presence of a man , stou t and middle aged, with a head as smooth and shining as a billiard ball, who was sitting on .a boulder of moss-grown stone just where the pathway merged into the Lcndville road.

"You are quite welcome, ir," faltered the tremulous Nathan, speaking nil the more rapidly in that the freakish maniac had al ready, deftly affected the change. "And your coat, too nice cool linen. Upon my word, now, that coat is 'infinitely '(preferable to this swallow-tailed concern of mine, with the brass buttons. Yes it fits me very nicely. I hope you don't object sir, to the accommodation?'" "N no!" faltered Mr. Tripler. "Well, good morning." said the stranger, looking round with a liewildered air. "I i exactly right. If I ever get out of thie hole alive, Dorothy will find me a changeS man." The eonfued current of thoughts wasjust eddying vaguely through his mat when there was a sound of steps and voices in the long corrodor witltout. "I suppose they're going to put on a etraft waisfcoat now," thought Mr. Tripler, With a resign dnlr. "Well, there's nothing left for me but to endure.

"It's all a mistake, my grrtd fellows a ridiculous mistake' he erclaiincd "I'm net a mad man!" "No, of course not ; we know you're not," responded the larger of the two, with a wink at his coinpanion-"Diive on, Tom." "But I am not, indeed ; yo;i are mistaking me for somebody else a man who just forced me to exchange hats and coats with him, nnd went down into the woods he is the madman !" "Oh, no I gncss not," said the big keeper, with a fearful attempt at pleasant irony. "My good men, you are lalairin under some very singular delusion." remonstrated the victim, trj'ing to speak plainly between the jolting of the wagon and his own excite ment, "I am Mr. Nathan Ti ipler, of No. , John Street. "Oh, Yes,' tid the keeper, lighting a cigar, "yesterday you wa Napoleo Bona parte, and to-day you're Nathan Tripler, and to-morrow-likely a not you'll lie the king of the Sandwich Islands-. I've heard this kind o' talk afore" Tif pier's heart began to standstill with un defined horror. Was this a hideous dream? or was he to be actually immured within the high stone walls of the asylum he had so toften Walked past with a feeling of dread and horror licyond all description, the life long victim of some scarce credible mistake ? In vain he reasoned, argued, protested? his words fell on the unheeding ears of his two conductors like drops of rain pattering on the stony surface of Table iWk, until at length he was carried more dead than alive into a narrow apartment at the end of a long row of simitar ones-. It was lighted and ventilated by an iron grating in the" doorv with a corresponding window high up on the wall, and furnished with only a narrow Couch and a stand built into the Wallj and there, Mr. Nathan Trip ler, released from his confining bonds, was left to enjoy the uninterrupted society of his j own cheerless meditations. "It can't be possible!" I must be asleep arid dreaming!' thought Nathan. But it was possible, and he never was wider awake in his life ! Toward evening, a pitcher of water and a piece of bread were dealt out to him. Mr. Tripler ftte it under a sort of mental protest to relieve the gnawing sensation of faintness that was at his vitals. "What would I give for one of Dorothy's hot biscuits," thought the wretched captive. cumstnnces is rather a doubtful question But Mr. Tripler was mistaken about 'the strait waistcoat "it wa-s his keeper instead, accompanied br two or three gentlemcu all profuse in apologies and sympathetic ejaculations. "Such a mistake !'' said one "old gentle man, wftha bald head. "So awkward for you, my dear sir !" said mother middle-aged gentleman, with a Roman nose. "But entirely unintentional, I assure you, sir," chimed in a third. While Mr. Tripler looked vtiguely from one to ftnotlrer he said, 'Then I'm not mad, it seems?" ho demanded-. 1 ""Not a particle, sir'!" cried the three committee men in chorus. "Oh!" said Mr. Tripler, 'Tra glad to hear it?" Then the committee proceeded to inforrr. their involuntary guest how the mistake had liapperred by which his identity had been confourfded with that of his mysterious ac quaintance of the woods. "We are very sorry," said the first conV-miftee-nfan, shaking Mr. Trailer's band us if it had ljcen the town pump. "So t in 4," said Mr. Tripler, laconically. "Here is your hat and coat, sir," said the Fccond committee-man. "We had great difficulty in getting them away from our poor fiiendinthe Ineiirnble Ward, who fancied Ihey were tlielast dying bequest of President Lincoln." "And anything we can do to make any atonement for the awkward mistake would be a pleasure," said the third ; while the keeper eyed Mr. Tripler dubiously, as if not altogether certain but tliat he was a little mad after all. When Mr. Nathan Tripler reached his home, all was the wildest grief and con fusion there. Dorothy had had the woods Fcarfclfed, the river dragged, a.nd the whole vicinage ransacked, and was now in hysterics in tire nursery. Nathan walked straight in, and put both arms around her. "Here I am, Dottie!" Don't cry any more." But Mrs. Tripler cried more than ever. "It's only a dream.'' she sob:cd forth. "Nathan is dead." , "No, I'm not d.-nd," said Mr. Triplcr with ft grim sense of humor, "only I've Iieen mad.1" Anxl quieting hs V, tie's obs after 1 a while, he told her nil his adventures. "And now is dinner leady?" he asked, "for ' Tain as hungry as a bear." j "1 haven't a thing in the house fit to cat, Nathan dear," wailed his wife, j "I don't care if it's nothing but dr3' bread and molasses, Puttie," said the husband. "I can tell yon thata-ylnm took some of the nonsense out of me. I shall never grumble ! ftg, d.m't he afraid-." And Dorothy brightened up. tt Was the first time he had called her "Dottie, or spoken so tenderly, since their honeymoon was in its crescent glow. lie adhered to his gOod resold Hons he never did grumble again.
