In sunshine and in shade; •

Our heavy hearts grow light;
And liather strength , in woe or weal,
To tread the path of right. - •
It whispers o'er the cradled child.
Fast lock'd in Nacettil sleep,
Ere its pure soul is sin4hegailed,
Ere sorrow bids it weep.
It soothes the mother's ear with hope,
Luke sweet hells' silyer chime,

Of dark mysterittue u Time.

And n ee. the vtul to might.
When I t ( blue. forth with fullest ray,
Forma filing least of night.
It speaks of noble ends to gain,
A world to mend by love.
That tempers strength of hand and brain,
With softness of the dove.
-
It falls upon the aged ear,
Though deaf to human voice;
And when man's evening closgs drear,
It bids him still rejoice.
It tells of bliss beyond the grave,
The parted soul to thfill ;
The guerdon of the truly brave,
Who fought tbe power of

lowing day.
Mrs. Warren was in. appearance a fee't4e wo
man, but she had endured hardships which !woe!!
have destroyed the constitution of one more anbust.
Day 'after clay her strength failed her, yet she matte
no'complaint. Raymond saw that She grew pale,
and was often disturbed with fears in regard to her,
but he was too easy to mention the suliject.and the
useful wife became more and moriVfeeble, mod

was one day thouglutuf enough to speak to the,vil
lage doctor as he passed their house with his pon
derous medicine portmanteau on his arm, and the
benevolent gentleman, who had iorne knowledge
of Raymond's peculiar feelings, lett the woman an
innocent tincture, and torbai%!expostitelto the cold
atmosphere under any circumstance's'. and also de.

For a few days Raymond remembered the doc
tor's counsel, and as' he had , rejpeei fur the physi-•
ciao, he obeyed him as nearly as his mist' mional
failitigs permitted, bat sou i the wife was again
obliged to chop wood and feed .caate, and taking a
severe cold, she fade; as would fade the summer
rose in a frigid climate.
When Raymond Warren's house was trasolate
and his fireside cheerless, he saw what had been
his great error during:the two years of his married
life, and he mourned has wife deeply,. it must be
said in his favor, both as a helpmate and a com
panion. He rented his farm and managed to ex
ist " easily" for ode year, but he was a' domestic
man—he was not satisfied with a cNildless Widow
-1 er's solitary lot,arid he began to look about him for
a second helpmate and companion. Iln a few
months he took to his home a woman ! whom he
confidently felt wound fill the place left 'vacant by
his first wife.. Sadly was Raymond disappointed.
A few weeks elapsed and he into his old
habit, with comple.e abandon. L
, Leaving his town
work in a neglected state, he kyorkeil dilligently
one day to assist a neeghbar in getting wood to his
house, and he returned to his home, late at night,
hungry, and fatigued, expecting that hi4ltife would
have !early for his rekeshmeni an inviting supper
in this hope, he had refused to take supper with
the neighbor whom he had assistthl. Poor fellow !
the kitchen, where was to have been his excellent
supper, attended by a smiling wife . , was cold and
unoccupied No frugal board was ihere, and Mrs
Warren was in bed ft:iyiriiiii.l w.c. much astonish

Was Raymond dreaming ? W.IA this a voice of
reproach that came to him to his sleep, with rec.
,ollectiOns of the wife that had gone before tom to
the Spirit Land ? Not so—it was a voice from the
wile that dwelt with him mthis sphere of existence,
that cams to remind him of duties, tiESt discharged,
upon the performance of which depended the sat.
Isfaction of those desires which had intruded visions
of feasts upon his hours of rest. Allt this he felt;
still he did not oiler to leave his couch.
Raymorld Warren," again said the voice
, t you left me yesterday without woral, to help a
neighbor get vernal for his wife. and 'von went to
bed last sight willow your supper Yriall not get
a bite to eat ir9 this house till you bring me' worst
to cook it with."
"There's plenty of chips," said Raymond, 111
palliation, rising on his elbow as he spoke..
"'Get up, doll, and bring them into the house."
said the resolute wife "I didn't know you when
we were married. but I know you 110 w. I know
what killed your first wife You want to make a
slave of Me. I'll attend to my duties ; but if 3on
don't do your chores, the cattle may sta r ve, m i d
you'll never get a bite in this house unless you take
it uncooked, it VII don't cut wood yourself or get
somebody toslo' it for you."
Raymond started bolt upright. and it was not
many
o rniliutes,before he was at the wood pile—
Diligently did he work until he had cut an armful,
which, like a tlntituLhasband, for the first time in
his life, he carried into the kitchen.
His wife made no allusion to whet had passed
between them, and Ramond, although b - Mning with
curiosity to know wlferiEshe had learned what she
had revealed to him, dared not commence conver
sation in relation to it. The train of evils it might
.revive was fearful p 3 the easy man's mind.. His

'When the Invitation, same, he hastened to his,

mond was not a cannibal; he looked at. his• wife
inquiringly; she appeared to be waiting patiently'
to be served. He lilted the cover of Unifier dish ;
there were potatoes just as they had been dug from
the earth. All the dishes that usually contained
victuals were covered. Raymond:grew suspicious,
ilnd he lifted the covers hastily. There was bread,
as it had come from the tray t there were turnips
.thiit had never been under the influence of fire;
there were apple 4 handsomely sliced for sauce, and
there were numerous other edibles, but nonts of
them could Raymond eat. He turned for-consida
ti,ot to a cup of tea his wife 11n1 deposited near his
pf..te. Thole were tea leaves floating in' the cup,
but the tea- looked remarkably rale; nevotheless,
Raymond, by force of habit, blew it vigorrably to
prepare it for his pals e. But when he put it to his
itps, he found that he had Wasted lie breath ; for
the water was as cold as when it came from the

Raymond was not a Wtty man. He pushed

Mrs Warren, whose co6nrettaiice during this
scrne had worn a sober asirect," now smiled and
answered
(The victuals were all on the stove the usual
lime."
" It's strange they are not cooked," said Ray
mond.
" Not at all," replied Mrs. NVarren ; " there was
no wood to cook them with."
In an instant Easy Warren then saw what a
it moral" there was in his novel dinner, and with a
keen appetite, he went to work on the wood pile.
He took his dinner and supper together on that day,
and remembered what Mrs. Warren said :
" Now, Raymond, whenever you leave me with
out Wood you must eat victuals that have been
.cooked on a cold stove."
Many women would have stormed' anti scolded,
but Mrs. Warren knew there was a better way to
correct her easy husband's carelessness, or shiftless-
ness, as the reader I leases.
One day there was no floor in the house, and
Raymond was about to go with some neighbors to
a town meeting, when his wife hid his best coal,
and reminded him of the empty flour barrel. An
other day his corn was to he gathered, when a
neighbor desired him to assist hint with his horses

favors, brit seldom rendered them. Rut, when he
went to hitch hi. horses before hittwagon, he found

YATCEI 1t 46ING.—Alnwst every body knows
what a watch is, am' moat people understand its
use ; hot afar all, very few are aware of its curious
mechanism, nor have they any idea of the number
of pieces of which it is composed. It is in fact one
of the greatest curiositiekthat !Inman invention ev•
er produced.
" Mr.. Dent, in a i 4lectore before.the Londmi Royal
Institute, made in allusion ta the formation of a
Watch, in whichpe slated that a watch consisted of
992 pieces ; and stated that 23 trades, and probably
215 perserts are employed in malting one of those
machines.

the first flock of sheep into that place. He brought
