pleasant pastime It lmd once been, for
we found" H difficult to Mislnln conver
sation on topics of minor Interest, while
Alio one subject which engrossed our
hearts and minds was tabooed.
"Behold how great n matter a llttlo
fire klndlethi" As day nfter day pais
od owny, and the week drow to a close,
a heavy weight settled on my heart.
Jy husband appeared a different person
to me. It seemed to mo that a great
gulf had come between us; oven baby,
Who before had been associated wily
with the purest, deepest Joy, seemed
changed! I could not take her in my
arms without thinking of what I choso
to call my trouble. Friday morning
came. It was a lovely, suntlilny day;
but It seemed to mo tho dreai lest ever
sun roso upon. "Who would think
Itobert could be so obstinate?" I snid
to myself us I locked my little one to
ilcep.
Ju9tbeforo noon our pastor called.
I, was so 111 at ease that lit was with dif
ficulty that I'sustaincd tny part in the
conversation. I suppose he noticed
.my agitation, for be Inquired If I wero
well ds Usual. For an Instant. I felt
'half inclined to tell him all. It seemed
us If it would bo a reliel to open my
heart to some one, but n feeling of pride
restrained me.
Robert seemed unusually silent at
.dinner, and I fr.nclod he was looking
pale and ill. He kissed tho baby, but
Old not toss her in the air and play
w(th her as he generally did; as for my
' self, every word I spoko cost me an ef
fort. When Itobert had gone, I took
my little gfrl in my arms, and rockt'd
.her to sleup, then I U;rew myself in my
.chair again, and silently brooded over
my'unhappluess. It seemed to mo that
,n good, hearty cry, would be a luxury,
but it vns'a luxury in whbh I had de
termined I would not Indulge.
The tlmo passed slowly away, and I
began to wonder why baby did not
wake. I went over to tjie cradle. Her
face was flushed, end I thought her
.breathing very unuatura!. "What If
our darling should be ill?" I cried, and
then with a chill at my heart, "What If
God should tako from us tho causo of
pur dispute?'-'
At that thought a great revulsion of
feeling came over me, I knelt down by
baby's cradle, and wept unrestrainedly.
"Atter'ftll," I thought, "Is it Lot nat
ural that Itobert should uotcaro to have
his .child given so common a name as
3ary? And what right have I to decide
without consulting l,'.n what her name
should be? Oil if lie would only cornel"
iltook baby In my arms, and went to
tho window to look fur him. Then I
remembered his pale face at dinner. "If
r anything should happen, I should never
''forglvo myself," I said. At hist I heaid,
;lils' footstep on the stairs; I laid baby
down, and just rushed to meet him.
"Oh Itnbertl" I cned as I threw my
.arms around ills neck, "name her Laura
.or anything you please, but do let us
love each.otber again." He kissed mo
(n sllenco, and then went into the par
lor. In au instant lie came out, bring
ing with him my father's wedding gift
a large family Bible.
' He opened it, and turning to tho
Family-Record, pointed to a line under
.the head of Jjirttis; it was this: .Vary
Evelyn Spencer, born May 10, 1823.
"I wrote it this noon," he said.
I.canpot tell what happened next, for
I really do not know, but I have seven
children since then, and they havo all
been named' without the least particle
of trouble between their father and
mother, and In closing this lit tin account
ofournri-t real dlftlculty, I thank God
that I am enabled to declare it was not
only, our first but our last.
