Illificalancous • The Newspaper. •. The old farm house wore a quiet pleasant, look, us the setting sun glided its small win dows, over which the luxuriant grape vines were carefully trained. in the open door sat a farmer, with a little morocco•covered btiok in his hand, on which his attention had, been fixed for the last half hour. Ile was a man of method and order—old Richard Heath—and aside from his regular account books, which were kept with scrupulous care,,ho always set down in his little book, in the simplest manner possible all his ex penses (no coinplicotvil arcount, by the way.) and all he received during the yeti., •:., .h.. ¶-Om trade.' The last account had just been reckoned up—and the account wa's highly satisfacto ry; if one might judge from the pleasant ex- j pression of his face, as he turned to his wife and addressed her by-her pretty old fashion cd name. • 'Millicent,' said heothis has been a lucky year.

His wife laid down her knitting work in perfect 'good humor, and gazed over the broad, rich fields of waving grain, which grew so tall around the laden. apple trees that they looked like .massive piles of foli age. Hearing her name thus kindly spo- ken, led her thoughts far back to the past ; for, after the lapse oftwenty-five years, the simple sound of the name she bore in youth means more than all the puling epithets of 'dearest,' 'love,' and • 'darling, so lavishly I uttered in a long past courtship. . Very pleissant was this retrospect to Mil licent Heath. 'l'he picture of the post had on it some places, and some hard trials, but no domestic strife or discontentment marred ire Sunny aspect. There were smiling faces on it—happy children's faces, without which no life picture is beautiful.

This was not spoken angrily. but so firm ly that Mr.' Heath noticed it, thbugh by no means remarkable for discernment in these matters. It sounded so different froni her 1111 usual quiet way, 'as you think best,' that he actually stopped a moment to consider whether it was at all likely she would do as she said. Mr. Heath was a kind husband, as that indefinite description is generally understood ; that is he never beat his wife ; and always gave her enough to eat. More than this, he had a certain regard for her happiness, whith always made him feel half ashamed of his decision, but like many other men who haire more 'Obstinacy than wisdom, he 00.,1d not bear to retract any. thing, and above all, tb be convinced that he was wrong, by a woman. However, with a commendable wish to remove the unhappiness lie had caused he suggested that as the papers were carefully filed, and she had found theist interesting, she would read them all over again. begin ning at January,and taking one a week clear through the year, they would come out even, he concluded, as if - it were a sin gular fact that they should.

Very long the day seemed to him : to go in for lucheon, dinner and supper. and no body to speak to ; to find everything so still.
