LIZZIE DALE'S :XPERIMERT.
BY AUslitt C.' Mom..
"If ever I merry," as 'Bertha Drake—
and Bertha patted her lttle foot on the
floor most expressively as she spoke,—"if
ever I marry," she repeated, ".ny husband
Will do just as I wish, hi p to do."
"Perhaps he will," returned Lizzie
Dale,-with a quiet ;
"because you
would not, of course, trip him to do any
thing to which he was *Hy oppposed."
"I'll tell you what,", returned Bertha;
with real determination;"in the first place
he shall leave off vonokAng. 0, Ido bo
abominate that. filthy tobacco _ I Ho must
promise this. Then there are his club
meetings,: he• goes therq once a week, and
spends half his time there;—his "Literary
Club," he calls it . ,— , butrit's only for the
purpose . of smoking tobheco, and teliidg
.stories that, be goes there. Ile must put
a stop to that too.. In short he will ,go
where I go,"
Lizzie Dale smiled.
"I am ikearnest, Lizzie," ebb Hotted
Bertha, "and !et me advise, you to try
some experiment. You, I suppose, will
be married as soon as myself. Now, Mr.
Summer Dean smokes, and goes to the
club too ; and if I'm not mistaken, he
will want to go to the theatre once in
a while without you. You'd better put
your foot-down before you are married.''
And again Bertha's .foot came down to
give strength to her meaning.
For some moments Lizzie Dale rbmaitt
ed silent. She was a loving young girl,
with a soft countenance, light brown hair,
and large lustrous bine, eyes. She did
not look as though
.she could have faced a
very heaiy ditteiiitysTur OP - Lally there
stole over her sunny countenance a sort of
determined expression, and with a mean. ,
ing look, she said :
'"Bertha, I shall, try the experiment."
"Good I" exclaimed Bertha, clapping
her hands, "0, how Udall' teach thent."
But little more was said by the girls.
Bertha Drake rattled away in her usual
happy'style ; but Lizzie "_was thoughtful,
and ere long they separated
It was but a few evenings later, that
Summer Donut - called to see Lizzie.-- lie
had come to arrange for' heir marriage.
"Stop," said Lizzie ) after Some of the
preliminaries had been, arranged: She
looked sober and sternl-4 most strange
look for her. "Stop, thire are some things,
that I have never spokeh to you about."
.gAh," uttered Sumuter, with an ex.
pression of surprise.
"Yes," returned Liitie, with a slight
tremor, "you know I dislike the smell of
tobacco."
"1 was notawaro of it,,Lizzie ; you have
never mentioned it befoe."
"Because it was nuctil, place ; not as
we arc about to be married, the case' is al.:
tered. You must prothise me that you
will leave off smoking,"
Now, Lizzie Dale was What the world
would call rich, while young. Dean had on-
ly an, open profession, with a bare comp
tetiey. Perhaps the young man thought
of this.
, •What elect is there ?" •ho at leagth
asked."
'You beloug to ono of the city club"e.'
"Yea.'' • . ,
"And you smoke there and tell stories."
"Setuotantes.!'
.
'Then you must premise me tbat you
will go to the' club no mere after we are
warned; and'you must promise me, too,
not to go to the -theatre without 1 go
too.". - .
"Are yeti really la earoeety Lizzie'!"
"Certitinly I ain,"said Lizzie
"Lizzie, I fear you do not rightly un
derstand me. I have sought you for in,
wife because I believed you to in a pure
minded, loving, virtuous girl.love you
with my whole soul, and rda'n'gke 'You a
whole generous bean, 1113 honest name, and
an tpitarnished honor. It you become my
vdifell will be my highest aim to make
you, happy; but if light IThitus are to be
set doivn as matters of grave moment, and
if pledges ;of future conduet are to be given,
then
.I•fear we would neither of uslie hap

husband than to distrust him. All -,rea
soncibls, things „I will do to make you. hap
py, but I cannot promise you one .thing
you have just required. Do not think too
obstinate, but ,I should loie sight' of my
own just pride.were Lto take the pledges
yon have just , named." ,
Summer' expected to have seen a dark
looking froWn upon Lizzie'a face,' but was
surprised 'to see in , the stead thereof a
bright, joyous-bmning, half roguish
smile.
' "I have tried my . ctperiment,"uhe cried,
as she laid a hand upon her lova% Shoul
der, "and I am happy 'in' my . SUWCAIN
kne* you loved your social club meetings,
for I often heard you • speak of the •intel
lectual ,treats' you there received j , and
whateier may be the real, character of
smoking, I know that it was a favorite hab
it with you. "If you bail promised to give
these up to please me, I should , have
thought that you had not that manly intio
pendence that belongs to a nohle-hearted
man. I should have thought that, for
the sake of conciliating, you 'would de.
coivo me. No, no, Summer, seek just
such enjoyments as your own .good juk
usent shall tell you are right; and fesi not
that I shall find fault."
Summer Doan was a proud and happy
men, and at that moment, he took a silent
pledge, but one deep in his heart, that be
would never do a thing that would make
Lizzie unhappy.
Lizzie and Bertha had been married
nearly a year. One pleasant Winter even
ing Sumuier Dean and his wife called at
the dwelling of Henry Wilder.. They en
tered and found Bertha all alone.
"Where is Henry ?" asked Lizzie, as
sire laid off her things.
"He has gone to his club," `ieturned
Bertha, in a low tone.
"Then you remain here, and Twill go
and bring him home." said Mr. Dean to
his wife. "Now, that we have come, we
must, have his . company." .As Bummer
spoke he left the apartment.
"Ab; Bertha," said Lizzie, in
playful tons, !'l. thought you ~vzsie .going
to put a stop to this. s •, • • . •
Bertha's eyes 811od , with tears as she
said t "He did promise me, but ho aeociv,ed
me. And • jest smell 'the tlltlig lObiecO

Did you ever trust him .9" asked
zie, ida low meaning tone ; "fully trust
to his wanly honor and Jove .•'• •
4, WitYi what do you mean, Lizzie ?"
"I mean to ask you if you-ever trusted
Henry as a :loving wife ,shbuld trust .-.a

'.‘Certainly I have;'tetatned Bertha:

'But you see how kind ho tittered,

we were married; ' , that, he would cut the

"Did Henry make these promises five- .

' , He made them."
"Thit may be, but they were 'forced,

Bertha, was silent. , ,
"Then,, when he fell bac k art An. mar'

marriage I have puraned the Same course. .

At that moment the two husbands en

There is a town up in New Hampshiee
where So' little is known of the appliadces
of modern days, that throughout the tillage,
until the - debut of Rev. Mr. N who
hadjust moved in from Massachusetts,
there was not a carpeted room. Of this
.
the minister *as not aware, or perhaps
he 'would have hesitated at the idea of
indulging in such an unwanted aitiele of
luxtry.
One, day a young farmer, having cm=
elision to call on the minister, was shown
by the minister's daughter into the "best
room." - •
When the minister came down to sett
him, he found him sitting in settair, on the
door, sill with hie legs extending out into
the entry.
AmaXed and somewhat puzzled by this
nnexpecied sight, Mr. M. asked him why
he didn't go into the parlor.

His amazement may be imagined, when
told that the "blanket" was a permanent
fixture of the room, and was.kept fertile
