t 4 90MEST1S STORY. THE THREE ROMES! O OR, .THE. MAGIC OF NEAjTNESS. It had been an unconrtmonly warm and st/f -try day,'and as the coo! air of evening swept onward,,and fanned the brow of‘the healed laborers, they one and all thanked heaven thaltho 101 l of the day was over. . But to nony among the homeward bound did ihe eve ning breeze seem more refreshing then to three whose baskets of tools denoted them Carpenters, At the entrance pf.-the village where they lived, Jones, Yates and Fields, separated, each to seelrhs own dwelling. There was not a cleaner or neater abode in Bell Air than that awaiting the reception of Jones. Not a speck of dust dimmed the brill iancy of the windows ; every arjicle of furni ture was polished till it shone fike a mirror; fresh flowers breathed forth their fragrance from the chimney piece; a spotless cloth cov reed the little supper table, and Mrs. Jones and the children were as neat as it was pos sible lo be. Far different was the scene that! awaited Yates ; his house was in disorder, his children untidy, and bis wJfo absent. The last named evil was, however, soon Remedied, for one of the children, despatched in quest of his moth er, soon returned with her. . , <• You here alrpady, Bill ?” she exclaimed* rushing in breathlessly, in a dim and dirty gown. “ I had no idea it was so late. Light the (ire, that’s a good boy, and we’ll have supper.’’ “I am so tired, Mary, that I had rather do without supper,” said Yates, throwing himself upon a seat.” “ Are? Well, then, I’ll make it,” and as she hurried lo light the Are, more than one piece of crockery was broken, having been put in an improper place.. “Where have you been?” inquired her husband, “ Just next door, to see poor Mrs. Brown’s sick baby.” ' “ Mother has been gone ever since two," chimed in a youngster. “ You abominable story teller, take that,” and here the mother boxed his ears. Off went the child in a crying fit, and off went Mrs Yales to prepare the supper—the children became cross and sleepy, aud when tea was at last ready, she had to go up stairs and put (hem lo bed ; then returning, swall owed her own meal hastily, and putting aside the dirty plates, declared that now she’must go and wash. “ Wash !” exclaimed her husband in aston ishment. “ I thought you washed yester day ” “ Well, so I meant, but Mrs. Brow.n came in and prevented me. And now I must wash, for neither I nor the children have a clean thing to put on.” “ So it seems,” said Yates sarcastically. “ So it seems ! indeed," she cried ongrily enough. I suppose you expect me lo bo as clean and neat as if 1 kept twenty servants.” “ No, Mary," said her husband'gravely, “ I form no such extravagant notions; all J ask is, that the hours I am working to earn our bread, may be spent by you in a manner more profitable than gossiping, and so let mo find a quiet and orderly house on my return, and a companion such as yjou used to be in the earlier days of our wedded life.” But the affectionate tones of the last words exercised no sqftening influence upon the roused spirit of the indignant wife, and a quarrel ensued which ended in Yates taking his hat, and finding at the public house the comfort he could not find in his own. Meanwhile Jones passed through his trim little garden, entered his pretty collage home, and silling down his basket seated himself by (ho window. “ Oh, Jones, you didn't, wipe your feel when you came in." was his wife’s salutation as she entered the room. ' “ Well, my dear, and if I did hot, there could b&no mud on them,” said he. “ No, but I’ll be bound there’s plenty of dust on them,” and here. Lord bless me, if your dirty basket isn’t set right down on the clean wax cloth. What’s the use of my be ing a slave, if that is the way you act.” “ But Nell, I’m so- tired,” “ Tired, forsooth ; and don’t you think that 1 gel tired, working about all day, as I do?” “ You are indeed, a very industrious wife, Nell,” —yet even as he spoke, ha sighed, for his home, though It was very pleasant to look at, was also very uncomfortable, Mrs, Jones was a conscientious and an in dustrious woman, and she esteemed it her du ly to work hard for her husband and children. But she preceived not how her spirit of house worship interfered with her duties as a wife and mother. The latter demanded her house should be a home, the former that it should be an idol, and she bowed down unresistingly to the image she had herself set up, without once suspecting that the magic word home, was in bar keeping but an empty, sound.- Her husband, when his hours of labor were over, felt as if he had fairly earned a happy evening; but he was ever offending against her rules of propriety, and therefore took himself lo the public house, where he was an object of consideration which he never was at home. And thus, though Mrs. Jones was considered a belter wife than Mrs. Yates, they both, by different means, accomplished one end—driving from their homos domesticated . husbands. Fields, too, had gained his home—a neat little collage li)a, Covinglon; 13. M.
