THE CURATE'S FIRESIDE
I have an only daughter,
But she is more to me
Than if I had a score or so
To cluster round my knee ;
And ne'ar by boon companion
Was idler's time beguiled,
As the curate's leisure.moments
By the prattle of hie child
My worthy friend and vicar,
The Bev. Mr. Blount,
Of little rosy children
Has more than he can count;
And good man smiles serenely
And pats them on the head,
With a hearty benediction,
When they toddle off to bed.
My brother curate, Webster,
O'er Mr. Malthus pores,
Thinks only bachelors are blessed,
And babies only bores;
Says curates must not marry,
For 'tis his rule in life—
First get a good fat living,
And then a wealthy wife.
I envy not the vicar,
His patriarchal glee,
When the thirteenth Blount lies choking,
Across its nurse's knee;
Nor yet the unhappy Webster,
-His lodgings lone and bleak,
(With linen and attendance,
At one pound five a week).
I wait for no fat living,
I need no paltry polf,
'Twas not for that I woo'd my wife,
But for her "ELM" dear self ;
Though she had brought a dowry
Were fit for peer or prince,
'Twere nothing to the treasure
That she has born me since.
For oh ! when home returning
Dispirited, unstrung,
There's music on her tongue,
And her dark eyes flash and sparkle,
And the color mounts her cheek,
As words come crowding faster
Than her little lips can speak.
And so, when sad and weary
From scenes of care and sin :
Where foul distiases rage without,
And fouler lusts within ;
Where so much is dark and weary,
Where all is sin defiled,
I thank God for the innocence
About my little child.
Dear to the Christian pastor
The flock he's charged to keep;
Dear for His sake who gave him
The message "feed my sheep."
Oft prays he for the erring :
"Lord, guard them when they roam ;"
But the fondest prayers are aye for one—
The little lamb at home !
THE WIFE'S EXPERIMENT,
Ma, why don't you ever dress up ?'
asked little Nellie Thornton, as her mother
finished brushing the child's hair, and
tying her clean apron. There was a
momentary surprise on Mrs. Thornton's
face ; but she answered, carelessly, Oh,
no one cares how I look.'
Don't Pa. love to see you look pretty ?'
persisted the child. The mother did not
reply, but involuntarily she glanced at her
slovenly attire, the faded and worn calico
dress and dingy apron, both bearing wit
ness to an intimate acquaintance with the
digh-pan and stove—the slip-shod shoes,
and soiled stockings—and she could not
help remembering how she had that morn
ing appeared with uncombed hair, and
prepared her husband's breakfast before
he left home for the neighboring market
town. Sure enough !' mused she, how
Ido look !' And then Memory pointed
back a few years to a neatly and tastefully
dressed maiden, sometimes busy in her
father's house, again mingling with her
young companions, but never untidy in
her appearance, always fresh and blooming;
and this she knew, full well, was a picture
of herself, when Charles Thornton first
won her young heart. Such was the bride
he had taken to his pleasant home,—how
had mature life fulfilled the prophcy of
youth ?
She was still comely in features, grace
ful inform, but few would call her a hand
some or an accomplished_ woman ; for,
alas ! all other characteristics were over
shadowed by-this repulsive trait. Yet she
loved to see others neat, and her house
and children did not seem to belong to
her, so well kept and tidy did they always
look. As a housekeeper she excelled, and
her husband was long in acknowledging to
himself the unwelcome fact that he had
married an incorrigible sloven.
When, like too many other young wives,
she. began to grow negligent in regard to
her dress, he readily excused her in his
own mind, and thought she is not well,'
or, she has so much to do,' and perceiving
no abatement in his kind attentions, she
naturally concluded he was perfectly satis
fied. As her family cares increased, and
she went less into company, she became
still more careless of her personal appear
ance, and contented herself with seeing
that nothing was lacking which could con
tribute to the comfort of her husband and
children, never supposing that so trivial a
matter as her own apparel could possibly
affect their happiness. All this chain of
circumstances hitherto unthought of passed
before her, as the little prattler at her side
repeated the query,—'Don't Pa love to see
you look pretty ?'
Yes, my child,' she answered, and her
resolve was taken,—she would try an
experiment, and prove whether Mr. Thorn
ton was really indifferent on the subject
or not. Giving Nellie a picture-book with
which to amuse herself, she went to her
own room, mentally exclaimed, fat any
rate, I'll never put on this rig again—not
even washing-day.' She proceeded to her
clothes-press and removed one dress after
another,—some were ragged, others faded,
and out of style, and some unfit to wear,—
at length she found one which had long
ago been laid aside, as too light to wear
about the house' It was a nice French
print, rose colored and white, and she
remembered had once been a favorite with
her husband. The old adage 'fashions
dome round in seven years,' seemed true
in this case ; for the dress was made in
the then prevailing style.
This is just the thing,' she thought,
and she hastened to perform her toilette,
saying to herself, I must alter my dark
gingham to wear mornings, and get it all
ready before Charles comes home.' Then
she released her long, dark hair from its
imprisonment in a most ungraceful twist,
mid carefully brushing its still glossy
wives, - she plaited it in the broad braids
which Charles used so much to admire in
the days of -her girlhood.
The unwonted task brought back many
reminiscences of those long vanished years,
and tears glistened in' her eyes as she
thOght of the many' 4hanges time had
wroughtsthes' a she loved, but she
murmured, a What hath sadness like the
change in ourselves we find In that
hour she realized how an apparently trival
fault had gained the mastery over her,
and imperceptibly had placed a barrier
between her and the one she loved on
earth. True, he never chided her,—never
apparently noticed her altered appearance,
—but she well knew he no longer urged
her going into 'society, nor did be seem to
care about receiving his friends at his own
house, although be was a social man, and
had once felt proud to introduce his young
wife to his large circle of acquaintances.
Now, they seldom went out together
excepting to church, and even dressing for
that was generally too much of an effort
for Mrs. Thornton,—she would stay at
home to keep house,' after preparing her
little ones to accompany their father, and
the neighbors soon ceased expecting to
meet her at public. worship or in their
social gatherings—and so, one by one,
they neglected to call on her until but
very few of the number continued to
exchange friendly civilities with her. She
had wondered at this, had felt mortified
and pained heretofore ; now she clearly
saw it was her own fault, the vail was re
moved from her eyes, and the mistake of
her life was revealed in its true enormity.
Sincerely did she repent of her past error,
calmly and seriously resolved on future and
immediate amendment.
Meanwhile her hands were not idle, and
at-length the metamorphosis was complete.
The bright pink drapery hung gracefully
about her form, imparting an unusual bril
liancy to her complexion,—her best
wrought collar was fastened with a costly
brooch, her husband's wedding gift, which
had not seen the light for many a day.
Glancing once more at her mirror, to be
certain her toilette needed no more finish
ing touches, she took her sewing, and
returned to the sitting room.
Little Nellie had wearied of her picture
book and was now playing with the kitten.
As Mrs. Thornton entered she clapped her
hands in childish delight, exclaimed, ' Oh,
Ma, how pretty—pretty !' and running to
her kissed her again and again, then drew
her little chair close to her side, and
eagerly watched her as she plied her
needle, repairing the gingham dress.
Just before it was complete, Nellie's
brothers came from school, and pausing at
the half-opened door, Willie whispered to
Charlie, I guess we've got company, for
mother's all dressed up.' It was with
mingled emotions of pleasure and pain
that Mrs. Thornton observed her children
were unusually docile and obedient, hasten
ing to perform their accustomed duties
withbut being even reminded of them.
Children are natural and unaffected lovers
of the beautiful, and their intuitive percep
tions will not often suffer from comparison
with the opinions of mature worldly wis
dom. It was with a feeling of admiration
that these children now looked upon their
mother, and seemed to consider it a privi
lege to do something for her. It was let
me get the kindlings,'—‘ I will make the
fire,'—and may I fill the tea-kettle ?'—
instead of, as was sometimes the case,

can't Willie V
Nellie was too small to render much
assistance, but she often turned from her
frolic with her kitten, to look at her
mother, and utter some childish remark
expressive of joy and love.
At last the clock struck the hour when
Mr. Thorton was expected, and his wife
proceeded to lay the table with unusual
care, and to place thereon several choice
viands of which she knew he was particu
larly fond.
Meanwhile let us form the acquaintance
of the absent husband and father, whom
we find in the neighboring town, just com
pleting his day's traffic. He is a fine
looking, middle-aged man, with an unmis
takeable twinkle,of kindly feeling in his
eye, and the lines of good-humor plainly
traced about his mouth—we know at a
glance that he is cheerful and indulgent
in his family, and are at once preposessed
in his favor.
As he is leaving the store, where he has
made his last purchase for the day, he is
accosted in a familiar manner by a tall
gentleman just entering the door. He
recognizes an old friend, and exclaims,
, George Morton, is it you ?' The greeting
is mutually cordial ; they were friends in
boyhood and early youth, but since, Mr.
Morton has been practising law in a dis
tant city, they have seldom met, and this
is no place to exchange their many ques
tions and answers. Mr. Thornton's fine
span of horses and light ' democrat' are
standing near by, and it needs but little
persuasion to induce Mr. Morton to accom
pany his friend to his home which he has
never yet visited. The conversation is
lively and spirited—they recall the feats
of their school days, and the experiences
of after life, and compare their present
position in the world, with the golden
future of which they used to dream. Mr.
Morton is a bachelor, and very fastidious
in his tastes—as that clais of individuals
are prone to be. The recollection of this
flashes on Mr. Thornton's mind as they
drive along towards their destination.—
At once his zeal in the dialogue abates,
and he becomes thoughtful and silent, and
does not urge his team onward, but seems
willing to afford Mr. Morton an opportuni
ty to admire the beautiful scenery on either
hand--the hills and valleys clad in the fresh
verdure of June, while the lofty mountain
-ranges look blue and dim in the distance.
He cannot help wondering if they will find
his wife in the same sorry predicament in
which he left her that morning, and invol
untarily shrinks from introducing so slat
ternly a personage to his refined and culti
vated friend.
But it is now too late to retract his polite
invitation—they are entering the old
homestead'—one field more and his fer
tile farm, with its well kept fences, appears
in view. Yonder is his neat white house,
surrounded with elms and maples. They
drive through the large gateway, the man
John comes from the•barn to put _out the
horses, and Mr. Thornton hurries up the
walk to the piazza, leaving his friend to
follow at his leisure—he must see his wife
first, and if possible hurry her out of eight
before their visitor enters. Ho rushes
into the sitting room—words cannot ex
press his amazement—there sits the very
image of his lovely bride, and a self
conscious blush mantles her cheek as he
stoops to kiss her with words of joyful
surprise— , Why, Ellen !' He has time
for no more, George Morton . has followed
him, and he exclaims— , Ha! Charley, as

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY, MORNING, JUNE 12, 1860.
Mrs.i Thornton, who, under the pleasing
excitement of the occasion, appears too far
better advantage than usual. Tea is soon
upon the- table, and the .gentlemen do
ample justice to the tempting repast spread
before them. A happy meal it is to
Charles Thornton, who gazes with admir
ing fondness upon his still beautiful wife.
Supper over, Mr. Morton coaxes little
Nellie to sit on his lap, but she soon
slides down. and climbing her father's
knee, whispers confidentially, 4 Don't
mamma look pretty He kisses her and
answers, Yes, my darling.'
The evening passes pleasantly and swift
ly away, and many a half-forgotten smile
of their life-pilgrimage is re-galled by
some way-mark which still gleams bright
in the distance. They both feel younger
and better for their interview, and deter
mine never to become so like strangers
again. Mr. Morton's soliloquy, as he
retires to the cosy apartment appropiated
to his use is, 'Well, this is a happy family !
What a lucky fellow Charley is—such a
handsome wife and children—and she so
good a housekeeper, too ! Maybe I'll
settle down some day myself '—which
pleasing idea that night mingled with his
visions.
The next morning Mr. Thornton watched
his wife's movements with some anxiety—
he could not bear to have her destroy the
favorable impression which he was certain
she had made on his friend's mind, and
yet some irresistible impulse forbade his
offering any suggestion or alluding in any
way to the delicate subject so long-unmen-
tioned between them. But Mrs. Thornton
needed no friendly advice—with true
womanly tact she perceived the advantage
she had gained, and was not at all inclined
to relinquish it. The dark gingham
dress, linen collar and snowy apron formed
an appropriate and becoming morning
attire for a housekeeper ; and the table
afforded the guest no occasion for altering
his opinion in regard to the skill or affability
of his amiable hostess. Early in the fore
noon, Mr. Morton took leave of his hospi
table friends, being called away by press
ing affairs of business.
Mr. and Mrs. Thornton returned to
their accustomed avocations, but it was
with renewed energy, and new sense of
quiet happiness, no less deeply felt because
unexpressed. A day or two afterwards
Mr. Thornton invited his wife to accom
pany him to town, saying he thought she
might like to do some shopping; and she
,with no apparent surprise, but heartfelt
pleasure, acceded to the proposal. The
following Sabbath the village gossips had
ample food for their hungry eyes (to be
digested at the next sewing society) in
the appearance of Mrs. Thornton at church
clad in plain but rich costume, an entire
new outfit, which they could not - deny
made her look ten years younger.'
This was the beginning of the reform,
and it was the dawning of a brighter day
for the husband and wife of our story
True, habits of such long standing are not
conquered in a week or a month ; and very
often was Mrs. Thornton tempted to yield
to their long-tolerated sway; but she
fought valiantly against their influence,
and in time she vanquished them. An
air of taste and elegance, before unknown,
.now pervaded their dwelling, and year
after year the links of affection which
united them as a family grew brighter and
purer, even radiating the holy light of a
Christian home.
But it was not until many years had
passed away, and our little Nellie, now a
lovely maiden, was about to resign her
place as pet in her father's household, and
assume a new dignity in another's home,
that her mother imparted to her the story_of
her own early errors, and earnestly warded
her to beware of that insidious foe to do
mestic happiness—disregard of little
things,—and kissing her daughter with
maternal pride and fondness 'she thanked
her for those simple, child-like words,
which had changed the whole current of
her destiny— , Don't Pa like to see you
look pretty P
Luther Lapel; or, the Want of
Punctuality.
Luther Lapel was apprenticed to a tailor,
and, after seven years of faithful attention
to his master's service, set up a shop for
himself. He commenced business under
very favorable auspices, and everybody
thought that he would do well in the world.
He was a good workman, had some money,
considerable credit, and a great many
friends.
But there was one trait in Luther's
character, which had not previously de
veloped itself, and which was to provo the
ruin of his hopes, and to disappoint the
expectations of his friends—and this was
the want of Punctuality. And here let
us observe, that no mechanic, no trades
man, no person who depends on the good
opinion of the public for a livelihood, can
expect to thrive without the necessary
virtue of punctuality.
Luther Lapel began to exhibit his un
fortunate trait--first, in disappointing his
customers of work he had promised ;
secondly, in disappointing those with whom
he had pecuniary dealings • and generally,
in not being exact in the fulfilment of his
promises in the ordinary concerns of life.
This was detrimental in every way. By
disappointing his customers of their prom
ised work, he lost business ; by disappoint
ing his creditors in the payment of money,
he lost credit; and by failing to fulfil his
promises in the miscellaneous concerns of
life, he forfeited the general confidence.—
Thus he lost business, friends, and credit.
But this was not all. His want of punc
tuality not unfrequently subjected him to
the immediate loss of money, of time and
of labor.
For example, having promised a suit of
clothes to an Alderman, who was to dine
on a certain public occasion, Luther was
half an hour too late;. the turtle soup was
in danger of cooling, and the Alderman
went to dine in his old clothes. The new
suit was sent home as soon as finished,
and the garments were all well made ; but
the die was cast—the Alderman was
vexed, as well he might be, and the clothes
were returned upon the tailor's hands.—
What was to be done ? The Alderman
being a man of some twenty score weight,
and of a very peculiar configuration, the
clothes would fit no • other person, and
therefore the tailor was obliged to keep
them. The cloth was of the finest quality,
whieh, taken together with the uncommon
quantity contained in the garments, ren
dered the loss a severe one. Luther en

greater punctuality in future, to prevail

consequence of being half an hour too late
-
in getting to the depot, the cars went on
and left him. ' Hang it!' said he, as he
turned upon his heel, ' what's the differ

season to-morrow.' He did so—he reached
Baltimore without any accident—but alas !
the old gentleman, who was in excellent
health the day previous, had gone off in
an apoplexy, a full hour before the tailor
arrived
In almost every thing Luther Lapel was
too late. He was a regular attendant at
church ; but as he seldom arrived until
the middle of the discourse, he could make
nothing of it; nor could he find a seat,
though he took pains to rent a pew at
considerable expense. He was always
too late at meals, and was thus obliged to
take up with the refuse of the table. The
meat, if any remained, was cold ; the cof
fee was ditto, or run aground ; the toast
had disappeared ; the butter was consumed
—in short, lao alternative remained to
Luther but to make the best he could of
the scanty fragments that remained. The
tailor had a sort of military turn, and few
men looked better in regimentals than he ;
but he was generally on the parade ground
so late as to incur a fine. Alas !' said
he, a stitch in time saves nine, but lam
always too late in threading my needle.'
Luther Lapel was a very personable
fellow to look at, and became quite a favor
ite with the fair sex. He was also a fellow
of some spirit, and laid siege to the
heart of a belle valued at ten thousand
dollars. His success was almost beyond
his hopes ; for he took his measures so
well, that in a short time the lady engaged
to marry him. The day was fixed, the.
wedding-cake was made, the lady was
arrayed in her best, the bridesmaids were
present, the groomsmen were in waiting,
the guests bad assembled, and nothing but
punctuality was wanting to make Mr.
Lapel the happiest man alive. But he was
so late' in coming, that the loved one got
out of all patience ; and before he arrived,
she had struck up a bargain, and was
married to one of the groomsmen.
But, as we said just now, Luther was a
man of spirit, and, though but a tailor, he
called his rival to the field to take an
exchange of cold lead. The groomsman
was at first considerably frightened ; but
presently recollecting the unfortunate trait
of the tailor, he mustered courage and
accepted the challenge. He was punctual
to the minute ; but the discarded lover was
an hour too late, so he lost the pleasure
of shooting his rival.
Luther finally got married ; but his wife
was subject to fits, and he was one day
informed by his negro boy, that misses'
had fallen into the fire. 6 ln the fire !' ex
claimed the tailor, who was just then
pressing down a seam--C in the fire ! did
you say, Pomp 7'
Yes, massa, she's in de fire'
' Well, go back, and tell her I'll come
in a minute.' He finished pressing the
seam, hastened to the house, and found
Mrs. Lapel so burnt that she survived but
a few hours.
The affairs of poor Lapel were now going
fast to rain. Hie credit was entirely gone,
his customers had forsaken him, his friends
were estranged, his matrimonial disap 7
pointments and misfortunes preyed upon
his mind. He became dissipated, shut up
his shop, and resolved to go to California.
The ship was to sail at eight o'clock on a
given morning, but Luther did not arrive
