It was a marvel to many. how they kept up this continual sunshine, without the occasional storms, so necessary, as some suppose, to the purification grille conjugal atmosphere. But "storms" and "Caudle lectures" are not requisite to. the securement of domes, tic happiness in a home where revelius erected an altar, the presiding minister ov er which' is Religion. It was beautiful in the early period of their married life . to see the young husbanthind his Wife bow down to their morning and evening devotiunA - And still more beautiful was it,' as years rolled on, and gentler spirits gathered a round the limne-altar. to see the little white hands clasped and hear the audible res.

As 'time moved ori, how= ever, the demands of a growing lainily pressed heavy (won the father. And then there would sometimes rise n murmur of discontent—a half-distrust in the provi dence which hod ever bleat end sustained them. Yet was the altar of home still sa cred, and their morning and °veal* devo tions went up like holy incense in the throne of the Most High. There was a want of fervor and earnetonees,,however. in the spirit of Herbert's prayers of late, that could not fail to attract the notice , of his wife. and she was somewhat startled one morning to hear hint order brealclast with out their usual. morning devotion. "It will not take MI long. Herbert—can you nut have prayer before you go 2" said 'Ellen, no she entered the breakfast room. "It Seems so strange for us not to have fatuity prayer." -I've no time to pray this morning, EI• len--so hurry breakfast." said Herbert, in an unusually impatient tone. Hurriedly the ••Blessing" was asked, and the meal pas sed over in silence. Surely something is wrong. thought Ellen, as her husband pas sed suddenly nut of the door, withouteven his, usual "good bye." And for the first time a shadow crossed the threshold, and shntoui, one gkam of the heautilld sun• light that had ever gladdened the home of Herbert Harris.

Herbert was unconscious of the change. either in himself or in his family. World ly associations arc being gradually formed, well calculated to lead him . astray. The desire to become ricit—to becylea ill to his family independence—had taken fast hold upon hint. And in his eagerness to ob tain ; wealth, he had well nigh suffered the good angel to depart, with scarce a know-, ledge of its absence. Instead, therefore, of the kind husband of former years L-of the affectionate parent—he was the cold, calculating man of dollars and cents, ever counting over his gait's, as a deVotee i count* his heeds, until his presence had become ,almost a shadow in the limns where once it was the sunlight. • , *id Ellen, the sweet amiable wife. ev en she was changed.

A MOUSE STORY A gentleman who was exceedingly a verse to that little animal, denominated a mouse, was one day travelling in the Northern part of the State, and as night set in. put op at a country hotel. After retiring to his room, he carefully examin ed the corners and crevices to ascertain if there were any boles from which these lit tle marauders might be likely to issue forth, but finding none, he divested him self of his wearing apparel, and consigned himself to jive guardian care of Morpheus. After sleeping soundly for about three hours, he agaimbecame conscious of hie existence in this world or transitory Miss, but being still in a somewhat dreamy mate. he had no clear perception as to what might disturb Ilia ordered imagination. As he was thus lying, midway between Sleep and consciousness, be heard something going pit-pit-pit-pit upon the table, which closely approximated to the head of his bedstead on which he was sleeping. He listened more attentively and observed very softly to himself:— "As' I live, this braise ie beset with those infernal mite, and there is one'now gnaw ing at something on the table." So saying, he clipped as noiselessly out ofked us possible, and feeling for his boot. look hold of the toe part of it, and the heel upraised, very softly approached on tiptoe his intended victim. , When close enough to be within strik ing distance, he again listened, and to his delight found the noise still there.He then raised his arm, and with "unerring preci sion, let fall the heel of his boot upon the unfortunate intruder, exclaiming— "lf you huv'nt got it now !" Upon striking a light to examine the body of the mangled victim, what was his horror nntreonsternation, to behold ! in stead of a poor little mouse, it war his own beautiful gold repeater that he had placed upon the table ongoing to bed, that had made the noise, and which now lay smashed and destroyed. • As-ACTION or mus llextrrirtn..—l have eaid . a great , deal about prospect ant: land- Seape. I will mention an action or two, witicli eppear to me to convey as distinct a feeling of beauty as any landscape whatever. A London merchant, who I - bolieve is still alive, while he was in the country with a friend, happened to men den that he, intended. the next year to buy, a ileket in the lottery ; he desired that be would buy one for hint at the same, time, which of eourse was very willingly . agreed to, : The conversation dropped, the tick et never arrived, but the country getteeman rest:aired ipformation that the ticket pur chased for him by his friend had come up wprixe of : 20,000. Upon his arrival in tmadon he.inquired of his friend where he hat put the tic:tet, and why, he had not in formed him that it was purchased. "I bought them both the same day, mine and your ticket, and [thing them in to.the drawer of my bureau, and never thought nf them afterwards." But how do you distinguish one ticket from the. Other 1 and why am I the holder of the fortunate ticket more than you?" ..1 1 1hy. at the time. I put them into the drawer I fifund the .mie so marked was the fortu nate ticket. —Now this action appears to me perfectly beautiful; it is le beau ideal in morals, and gives that calm, yet deep e within of pleasure which every one so easily receives from the beauty of the ex terior werld. , =Vedney Smith. RECOGNITION OF VOICE Berrwinerf THN Ewe AND THE LANE.—The acuteness of the sheep'* ear surpasses all things in na ture that I know of. A ewe will distin guish her own lamb's bleat among a thou sand, all braying at the same time. Be sides, the distinguishment of voice is per fectly reciprocal between the ewe and the lamb, who, amid the deafening sound, run trii - meet . one another. There are few things that have ever amused me more than a sheep-shearing, and then the sport continues the whole day. We put the flock into a fold, send out all the lambs to the hilloutd. then send nut the ewes to them as they are shorn. The moment that a lamb hear its dam's voice, it .rushes from the crowd to meet her, but, instead of 'finding the rough, well.elad, contforue ble mamma, which it left an hour, or a few hours ago, it meets a pour, naked. shrivelling,—a most deplorable looking creature. It wheels about, and, uttering loud tremulous bleat of perfect despairs flies from the frightful vision. The moth er's voice arrests ito,llight—it returns, flies. and returns again, generally for ten us a dozen times before the reconcilement fairly math: tip.—Loy Sermons ,by. th.s. Mirk* S'hrpherd.
