must disastrous, 1 if not falbl. Under’ those
circumstances Dr. Kqtto wfStdy determined
to abandon his brig, and Attempt to escape
to the South .by a combination of boats and
sie.lgos. In accordance with this view they
left tiie brig on tho 17tU May, tliQ. tompura

behind them, andcarryingfour of their siok

All the'fine furniture was soldl'the French
cooksdistfiissM, dressing-maids and chamber
maids were sent: away, ;Mrs t Dexter herself
took' charge of the baby, ,aqd half tbo house let.
Ori6 servant and a small carriage were all the
luxuries they reserved for themselves.
I All day after the coming down. Mr. Dexter
kept out of the house: he could not bear to see
his wife deprived of the elegancies to which she
had been used; he could not bear to, see her
tears—to hear, perhaps, her reproaches.
With a slow and heavy step ho approached
his home, likohim who i
“Lingdfibg, raised his latch at eve,
, Though tired in heart and limb;-
' Who'loved no Cthep place, and yet
Home was no home to him.”
'Two or three limes he passed'and rcpassM
his own door without courbgo to enter; but
seeing one of hia Conner friends approaching.hc
| chose ihe least’of two evils, and went in. ( Along
.. the dark, hall and up the stairs he groped his
' way;..opened .the .door, of Ids wife’s chamber,
approached -the bed.' and. pomn’g l the Curtains.' 1
passed hia hand softly along it. for he expect-1
ed to find bis wife ill. and- woeping; he‘had
found' her so many ‘k time, in consequence of
the failing of a riew'dress or not to come home
at a certain hour, tihe was not there, howev
er,' and. half afraid that she had gone home to
her mother, ho descended to the litttq bpek
room which was now parlor sitting 1 room and
all. Feeling for the latch of the door, he
grdaned audibly, and ns,bp ma ne, tho door
llcw ofcri; and his wife stood beside him.
smityngjand bright checked, ami with such
sweet wpjd!iof welcbmc-qq'hc had never heard
her speak tijl then. TI)o baby sat crowing,bis
gladness in (the cradle, the fire threw its
bright gleam over the china of the lablor—all

arid ns Mr; : Dealerlooked around, ho felt, all

Xb the plain, but good arid sufficient su’ppcf

thO same time is best of nil. One room dark
ened another when we had a great house: now
the light and sunshine came in ail around.—
Our expensive furniture required careful keep

servants; now 1 can keep the little we require
myself, and what was before wearisome is
pleasure. . I have no ceremonious calls to use

‘You arc the best and noblest woman in the
world, 1 exclaimed the husband, interrupting
her, ‘and but for you I should have come down
in verity. Now !am convinced that while we
maintain honesty and self-respect, coming down
is impossible.’
It is sad to think of the great (Inc rooms, pil
ed one over another, and darkening one against
another—too costly for use, and too elegant for
the free trade and merry laughter of inarlilicial
joy—growing damp and mouldy, and sending
to the hearts of lUcir inmates heaviness or stu
pidity, when we know they might be set up

and make such little worlds of comforts. Pity
