THERE’S BUT ONE PAIR OP STOCK
INGS TO MEND TO-NIGHT.
An old wife sat by her bright fireside,
Swaying thoughtfully to and fro,
In an anoient chair, whoso creaky craw
Told a tale of long ago !
While down by her side, on the kitchen floor,
Stood a besket of worsted balls —a soore; 1
The good mao dozed o ! er the latest news,
Till the fire of his pipe went out;
And, unheeded, the kitten, with cunning paws,
Rolled out and tangled the bails about;
Yet still sat the wife in the ancient chair,
Swayiog to and fro in the fire-light glare.
But anon, a rniety tear-drop came
In her eye of faded blue,
Then trickled down in a furrow deep,
Like a single drop of dew ;
So deep was the channel, so silent the stream,
The good man saw naught but the dimm'd eye beam.
Yet marveled he much that the cheerful light
Of her eye had weary grown ;
And marveled ho more at the tangled balls —
So ho said, in a gentle tone :
” I have shared thy joys since our marriage vow,
Conceal not from me thy sorrows now.”
Then she spoke of the time when the basket there
Was filled fo the very brim ;
And now there remained of the goodly pile
But a single pair—for bim ;
Then wonder not at the dimmed eye-ligbt;
There’s but one pair of stockings to mend to-night.
I cannot but think of the busy feet,
Whoso wrapplinga were wont to lay
In the basket, awaiting the needle’s tine—
Now wandered so far away ;
How the sprightly stops, to a mother dear,
Unheeded fell on the careless ear.
For each empty nook in the basket old
By the hearth there's an empty scat;
And I miss the shadows from off tho wall,
And the patter Of many feet;
’Tis for this that a tear gathered over my sight
At the one pair.of stockings to mend to-night.
’Twas said that far through the forest wild,
And over the mountains bold, ’
Was a laud, whose rivers and darkening oaves
gemmed with tbe fairest gold ;
Then my first-born turned from tho oakon door,
iLBd 1 knew the shadows were only four.
Another went forth on tho foaming wave,
- And diminished the basket’s store;
But bis foot grew cold, so weary and cold,
They’ll novor be warm any more;
And this nook, in its emptiness, soometh to me
To give back no voioe but the moan of the sea.
Two others have gone toward the setting sun,
And made them a home in its light;
And fairy fingers have taken their share,
To mend by the fireside bright;
Some other baskets their garments fill —
But mine! oh ! mino is emptier still.
Another—the dearest, the fairest, the best—
Was taken by the angels^away,
And clad in a garment that waxeth not old,
In a land of continual day.
Oh ! wonder no more at the dimmed eye-light,
While I mend tho'oue pair of stackings to-night.
THE OLD PLAY-GROUND,
BY HI'.VRY MOKFORD
I sat an hour to-day, John,
Beside tho old brook stream,
Where we were school-boys in old time,
When manhood whs a dronm ;
The brook is choked with fallen leaves,
The pond is dried away—
I scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place to-day.
Tho school-house is no more, John,
Beuoath our locust trees ;
The wild rose by the window slide
No more waves in tho breeze ;
The scattered stones look desolate,
Tho sod they rested on
Has been plowed up by stranger hands
Since you and I were gone.
Tho chestnut tree is dead, John,
And what is sadder now—
The broken grape-vine of our swing
Hangs upon the withered bough ;
I road our names upon tho bark,
And found tho pebbles rare
Laid up beneath tho hollow sido
As wo had piled them there.
Beneath tho grass-grown bank, John,
I looked for our old spring,
That bubbled down the alder path
Three paces from the swing.
The rushes grow upon the brink,
The pool is black and bare,
And not a foot this many a day,
It seems, has trodden there.
I took the old blind road, John,
That wandered up the hill,
’Tis darker than it usod to be,
And seems so lone and still!
The-birds sing yet among the boughs
Where onoe the sweet grapes hung,
But not a voice of human kind
Where all our voices rung. j
l sit mo on the fonoe, John,
That lies as in old timo,
The same half panel in the path
We used so oft to olimb —
And thought how o’er the bars of life
Our playmates had passed on,
And left me counting on this spot
The faces that are gone.
PETTICOAT GOVERNMENT;
The Way to Rule a Husband.
‘ Theophilus, my love, you will not go ?’
said Mrs. Tims, speaking to her liusband,
as he announced tp her his intention of
going that day to a dinner party at the
house of his friend Ralph Rattle.
Mr. Tims had received the invitation
some days before, and had fully made up
his mind that he would go, though he
kept both the invitation and the determi
nation a secret young wife until
the very day be was' about to fulfil it, and
then he only mentioned it in order that
Mrs. Tims might not expect him, and keep
her own dinner waiting on his account.
‘ Why, my dear, I must go,’ replied Mr.
Tims, as he assumed a resolute look and
placed his hat upon the centre table,
though there was a certain nervousness
about the workings of Mr. Tims’ eyes as
he said this, from which one might have
inferred that the use of the imperative
mood cost him no little effort.
Mrs. Tims looked at him with: a glanoe
in which meekness and reproach were
equally blended, and she sighed—a soft
suppressed sigh—though it was uttered
quite loud enough for Mr. Tims to hear.
< You see, my love,’ said Mr. Tims, in
a deprecatory tone, as the aforesaid sigh
fell upon his ear and was transported from
thence to his heart, ‘ that I cannot really
do otherwise, without offending one of
my oldest friends. It is so loug since I
have paid Ralph Rattle a social visit, and
I promised him so faithfully that I would
come, that really he would oonsidcr my
absence an intentional affront.’
Mrs. Tims sighed again, and louder
than before.
‘Now, Louisa,’ said Mr. Tims, as be
stood with the knob of the parlor door in his
hand, ready to go up stairs and make his
toilet, ‘ why will you be looking so miser
able 1 You know that it is not often that
I leave you alone, or go to bachelor
parties.’
‘Am I looking miserable?’ asked Mrs.
Tims, with a ghastly smile that almost
made her husband start.
‘ Indeed you are,’ he replied; ‘so
miserable that any one would imagine, if
they saw you, that 1 am about committing
a murder, instead of merely dining with
an old acquaintance.’
‘ I am not miserable, Theophilus,’ said
. Mrs. Tims ; < I Rm slightly indisposed, but
I am happy, quite happy, I assure you,’
and, as she said this, the tears started to
her eyes. Mr. Tims jfelt his resolution
giving way, but he made a desperate effort
and rushed out of the Mrs. Tims
listened a moment, and heard him go up
stairs, and the next instant, her face,
(which had been the fao simile of woe,)
was brightened by an arch smile.
1 He shall not go, that’s flat,’ said Mrs.
Tims, as she took up an annual and
amused herself by looking over the en
gravings.
Mr. Theophilus Tims had been married
but a very few months to his youog and
pretty little wife ; but even in that short
time he had discovered a great change in
himself—a change which he never antici
pated, and the realization of which he
could scarcely credit. Not that Mr.
Theophilus Tims was a man to be in bodily
fear of woman ! Not he, indeed : for there
was no individual who would more speedily
or vigorously have resisted a direct at- ;
I tempt to assume that masculine article of
dress vulgarly called breeches; and a
word of authority from a rforoan would
have aroused every recollection of his
J being one of tbe lords of creation, and
j would have induced him, for the mere
< support of the dignity of his sex, to have
: resisted and quelled that authority,
j ‘lnever was created to be hen-pecked!’
| was an observation that Mr. Tims had
j made to himself many a time, and oft,
both before and after his marriage, and he
sincerely believed it. But Mr. Tims was
a. sensitive man, a very sensitive man, and
he had a holy horror of doing or saying
anything that might remotely or immedi
ately be wounding to tbe feelings of
another. Mr. Tims anxiously desired to
be happy himself, and he ardently wished
every oue with whom he was connected to
be happy also, and he had a nervous dread
of being a rock on which the happiness of
some one was doomed to be wrecked. This
nervous fear had made Mr. Tims oscillate
fur a long time on the bachelor’s list, and
it was a matter <sf considerable surprise to
him when he found himself seriously pay
| ing attention ro a yoting lady. Ho had
repeatedly argued the matter with himself,
aud almost invariably came to the con
clusion that he should not marry. ‘ For,’
said Mr. Tims, soliloquizing, 1 1 have been
so accustomed to my jovial bachelor’s life
that, to be regular and methodical, will be
absolutely unendurable to me ; and to be
otherwise might cause a wife to be
wretched, which would be something not
to be thought of. ‘lf I could only find,’
Mr. Tims would observe, { an agreeable
young lady who would be satisfied to take
me as I am—to love me, but to be indiffer
ent about my habits—then matrimony
might be tempting ; or if she had a spice
of the termagant in her nature, and
would undertake to control me in such a
manner that I might think opposition a
virtue, even then 1 might be happy ; but
to give pain to a loving heart it is horrible
—it is really too horrible. ‘ No,’ Mr.
Tims would conclude, as he would drop
into a brown study, < it is too great a risk
to run, and I fear I must, threfore, deprive
myself of the pleasures of connubial
felicity.’
But Mr. Tims was not destined to
remain a single man. It was his fate to
fall most violently in love with Miss Louisa
Jennings, a pretty little sentimental
blonde, with blue eyes and golden ringlets.
Miss Jennings walked like a sylph and
sung like a nightingale, and was moreover,
a very intelligent girl. She had always
thought that, whenever such a consumma
tion was brought about, she would keep
her husband in proper discipline. Her
mother had done so before her, and her
father—good, easy man—had been all .the
better for it, and, indeed, had never
suspected that he was entirely ruled by
his wife.
As Miss Jenniugs was all smiles, mild
ness and acquiescence, it is not to be
wondered that Mr. Tims thought he had
found just the lady to suit him—-one who
would love him devotedly, but who had
such au elevated opinion of man’s preroga
tive, that she would not find fault with, or
grieve at his having entirely his own way.
Miss Jennings had heard of the wild
bachelor’s life her lover had been leading,
and she studied his disposition pretty
closely; the result of her investigation,
however, did not discourage her with the
prospect the future presented. She had
suffered the credulous Mr. Tims to believe
everything he chose, while she deliberately
made up her own mind in regard to the
tactics it would bo necessary to pursue in
order to cool down his ardent spirits', temper
his wild notions of matrimonial liberty,
and render him a bearable, reasonable and
obedient husband.
Until the question was actually ‘popped,’
Mr. Tims had matters and things entirely
his own way. This crisis, however, was
not brought about until after some months’
preliminary courtship. It was a delight
ful evening in the month of May when
Mr. Tims asked the • important question
that was to deoide his fate. The moon
was beaming brightly in the little parlor,
in which he sat alone with his enchantress,
and the air was fragrant with the perfume
of spring flowers. Mr. Tims had not
actually and deliberately intended to put
the direct question on that occasion, but
there was something in the atmos
phere, something in the moonlight, sorne
thing, perhaps, in the position he occupied,
that was irresistible. He hesitated a
moment as the dialogue took a turn, as
dialogues between young ladies and young
gentlemen will sometimes take, and then
out it came ! Not a positive ‘ will you
have me ?’ but a suppositious ease, that
might be applied, and which might or
might not be introductory to further ten
der negotiations. Miss Louisa Jennings,
however, had heard something about the
frailty of young gentlemen, and she was
not disposed to understand parables. She,
affected not to know at what the young
man was aiming; and at length, by her
bewitohing simplicity, she brought him
finally point blank to the mark, and he
asked the question in such a manner that
there was no misunderstanding him.
Mr. Tims, though a little confused at
first, gathered up his resolution, and he
offered himself with considerable nonchal
anoe very much with the air of a man who
has no idea of being refused ; for, from
the indications he had had, he thought a
refusal out of the question. He was,
therefore, not a little staggered when his
proposition was reoeived with considerable
hesitation.
‘ What a vain coxcomb I have been! ’
thought Mr. Tubs ; and then he asked her
“THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1859.
aloud if he dared hope that she recipro
cated his affection.
‘ Really,’ said Miss Jennings, ‘ the idea
has been presented so suddenly, so unex
pectedly, that—that—’
‘ 1 see how it is, Louisa,’ exclaimed Mr.
Tims, as the lady hesitated, ‘ you cannot
love me, and you would spare my feelings
by avoiding the confession of the fact.—
This discovery is painful to me, Louisa;
but it is betten that I should suffer pain
than that you should. Farewell, Mias
Jennings—may you ever be happy !’ Say
ing this, Mr. Tims seized his hat in a
very malicious manner, and looked at the
top of it as if he had serious iLteutioas
of knocking the crown in. He then
glaneed the second time at the lovely fair,
and prepared to make a real tragio exit;
but a tender, half uttered ‘ Oh 1 Theophi
lus 1’ brought him immediately to the feet
of the beautiful Louisa again.
‘ Then do you love me V exclaimed the
now delighted Mr. Tims.
‘ Only too well 1’ sighed Louisa.
‘ And why, dearest, would you Dot say
so 1’ asked the transported Theophilus.
‘ Theophilus,’ said Mias Jennings, 1 I
have struggled with myself to overcome
this feeling, and to regard you only as a
friend.’
‘ And why have you done this V asked
Mr. Tims, giving away to all the astonish
ment, he felt. i
‘Oh! Theophilus!’ exclaimed Miss
Jennings, ‘ have you looked into your own '
heart, and have you studied mine, and !
can you still ask the question V \
Mr. Tims intimated that he had done
both, aud he modestly declared that he
oould still ask the question.
‘ 1 have feared your constancy,’ said
Miss Jennings, gravely; ‘for know, Tho
ophilus, that I should be exquisitely
wretched if I did not meet with an equal
return for my affection. My nature can
,not be contented with ordinary love;
nothing but boundless devotion could
satisfy me, a devotion as limitless as my
own would be to you, aud which I have
feared you could not render.’
3 Her views were further explained on
tbe subject, and'what is a little surprising
Mr. Tims appeared to be perfectly delight
ed with them, and., was as ready with
protestations as she was with suggestions
that oalled for them. The engagement
was therefore entered iuto, to thetr mutual
satisfaction, and for that night, at least,
they were both perfectly contented and
happy. Rut Mr. Tims was destined to
find that this incipient state of matrimony
interfered mightily with his bachelor
habits and his bachelor parties ; for when
ever he absented himself from her, Louisa
would know his whereabouts ; and if he
had been anywhere he slnuld not have
been—in any place in which an embryo
married man should not be—he was sure
to meet with suoh glances of woe, such
looks of tearful sorrow, that he invariably
concluded in his own mind that he must
be a monster, and he would promise
amendment, not only to the lady, but also
internally to himself.
One by one he dropped his gay and
dissipated friends. He gave up his card
parties, his billiard tables, bis boating
clubs, his gunning excursions, uad all the
littlo maaouiine amusements ho had been
wont to delight in. He did all this, how
ever, not without a great struggle ; but a
word of reproachful sorrow from Louisa,
and a glance of her tearful eyes, always
decided him.
‘Never miud,’ he would say to himself
sometimes, ‘we shall bo married, and
then all will be different. Louisa will not
be so exacting, and I shall hardly feel so
complying.’
They were married soon afterwards,
but the performance of the oeremonv and
the lapse of the honey-moon did not alter
either him or Mrs. Tims. At length he
began to grow restive when he found him
self sobered down into a respectable and
dutiful husband, and without any assump
tion of authority on the part of hia wife.
‘ It won’t do,’ said Mr. Tims to himself,
‘it won’t do at all ! I must consult my
own feelings, and act as I please, without
regard to the consequences. I have ne
glected all my old friends—all fine fellows,
too ! —except Ralph Rattle, and I never
mention his name but Louisa looks as if
I were about to plant a dagger in her heart.
’Tis true he is a little wild for a married
man as he is, but still his wife loves him,
and takes no notice of his slight eccentrici
ties. Would to heaven Louisa was like
her! ’ and Mr. Tims sighed as he fell into
a reflective mood, the result of which was
that he thought it behooved him to disen-
thrall himself, and, as a commencement,
he determined to accept an invitation to
a bachelor dinner party, th be given the
following week by his friend, Ralph--Rat
tle.
It so happened that of all his friends,
Mr. Rattie was the one most feared by
Mrs. Tims, as well for her own habits of
freedom as for the influence he possesed
over her husband. ‘lf 1 can only put an
end. to this acquaintance,’ Mrs. Tims
would say, ‘ I shall be able to do what I
please with Mr. Tims, and I need not be
alarmed for the future.’ This was the
state of feeling between the young mar
ried couple when Mr. Tims announced to
his wife his engagement to dinner. After
the preliminary scenes we have witnessed,
Mr. Tims had gone up stairs- to dress.—
Both parties had made up their minds, but
Mrs. Tims was almost determined.
Mr. Tims came down into the parlor
with his party suit' on. His linen had been
changed, his boots had been varnished and
his hair had been' brushed off from his
brow, as of yore he had been accustomed
to brush it. Mr. Tims held his gloves in
the same hand with his neat littie whale
hone cane, while with his other hand he
prepared to seize his nat-, which still lay
upon the table where he had left it. The
hat was smoothed and properly adjusted
ten his head, and then for the first time Mr.
Tims dared to look at his wife. The An
nual had been thrown aside long before he
eame down stairs, and in its stead Mrs.
Tims held her oambric handkerchief in her
hand. Her eyes were red with weeping,
and she dually sobbed as Mr., Tims
glanced at her.
‘ I suppose I am a brute ! ’ murmured
Mr. Tims, as he prepared to make a dash
for the door, < I will be back early, my
love,’ said he, by way of a oonsoling fare
well.
‘ Theophilus, dear Theophilus !’ shrieked
Mrs. Tims, hysterically, and in a moment
Mr. Tims was beside her.
‘ You will go, Theophilus V asked Mrs.
Tims, in a low, plaintive voioe, which
seemed to indicate that her life depended
upon the answer.
‘ I really must go this time, my love,’
replied Mr. Tims, who looked quite une
qual to the task before him ; ‘l at if it
causes you so much pain, I will not again
accept an invitation from Rattle.’
‘ Why, Oh ! why did I ever love V cried
Mrs. Tims, wildly ; ‘ or if I must love, why
was I doomed to love so passionately, so
intensely, with a love that could never be
returned ?’
‘ You are nnjost, Louisa,’ said Mr.
Tims, who, as usual, found himself on the
defensive. ‘You know I love you, and
sinoerely.’
‘ And yet,’ said Mrs. Tims, sobbing,
‘ you refuse to sacrifice a dinner party to
my happiness!’
‘I don’t see, my love, how your happi
ness is affected by my going or staying,’
plead Mr. Tims, apologetically.
‘ That is because you will not, Theophi
lus,’ replied Mrs. Tims, ‘ because you
will not believe that my happiness is
interwoven with yours, and I feel- that
your happiness is threatened.’
‘ Everything I do causes your unhappi
ness,’ said Mr. Tims, peevishly, and Mrs.
Tims sighed audibly. ‘ Rattle,’ continued
Mrs. Times, ‘ can do as he pleases, and
his wife never finds fault with him.’
‘ And would you be satisfied, Theophi
lus,’ said Mrs. Tims, ‘ if I could look with
indifferenoe at your every action J Oould
you believe that I loved you if I could
uncomplainingly see you pursue a oourse
I knew would render "you unhappy I 0 !
Theophiius, I have thought that yon ap
preciated the fond affection of this throb
bing heart, but I find you do not, and I
am pouring the treasures of my best love
upon a desert soil.’
Mr. Tims endeavored in vain to excul
pate himself.
‘ Ho, Theophilus, go !’ exclaimed Mrs.
Tims in an agony of grief, ‘ seek Mr. Rat
tle, and be happy with him. *1 will never
again imterfere with your pleasure. Hence
forth I will conoeal my feelings from you.
I will suffer without a murmur, nor shall
you ever again have cause to feel that my
love is tiresome—is an annoyance to you.’
Before his wife had finished, Mr. Tims
had almost forgotten Ralph Rattle and his
party ; and, as she concluded, he took off
his hat, he put down his gloves, and he
plaoed his oane quietly in one corner of
the room. Still Mrs. Tims urged him to
fulfil his engagement, but he positively
declined, and the more that she insisted
the more resolute he became, until at
length he declared, unequivocally, that he
would never more visit Ralph Rattle.
‘ Am I not a foolish creature to be so
fond of you, Theophilus I’ asked Mrs.
Tims of her husband, some half hour after
wards, as he demurely sat by her side, in
stead of rattling away, as he anticipated,
with the ohampagne at his friend Rattle’s.
It is needless to quote Mr. Tims’ reply ;
suffice it to say that he did not dine with
Mr. Rattle that day, nor did he ever again
pay him a premeditated visit. He had
been thoroughly broken, and ever after
ward the mere insinuation from Mrs. Tims,
that he did not love her, was sufficient to
make him acquiesce in any arrangement.
Notwithstanding all that has been rela
ted, Mr. and Mrs. Tims live together very
happily. She is conscious (without hinting
at the fact) that she has her own way in
everything, ghile he thinks that in yield
ing to her notions, he is paying only a
slight tribute to her intense affection for
him, and he has not the most remote idea
that he is one of the humblest subjects of
Petticoat Government.
