In Mr. Howard I - have perfect • confidence.- His character is unblemished,. and his prin ciples such,as every one must respect and approve: - I do not suppose he is perfect; neither is Helen; but 1 think they truly love "each other, and this will enable them to overlook and excuse each other's defects." "I doubt-not the rectitude or firmness of his principles," said .Mrs: Atwood; "but must confesslhave sonie fears that his tem per may not be suited to Helen's. - Some trifling circumstances have, led me to..2p prebend that he may be self-willed and ob stinate," • "Firm, ydu mean, my dear," said Mr. Atwood; "and I hope 'he will be so. It will do much to. improve Helen; for y.ou know that want of firmness is one o'f the defects of her character." - , "And beside," said Mrs. Atwood, "I have ever thought him somewhat too grave for a7mtiii Of five-and-twenty. Volatility, I shOuld as much dislike as you would; but Mr. Howard would please me better had he a little more buoyancy and cheer fulness.--- I- fear he will be stern." 'Here, too," said Mr. Atwood, "I have thought that a kind. providence selected the very man for our daughter!. His sedate ness will temper her vivacity; and her,' sometimes, too thoughtless gaiety." "I am sorry you_see o eo many faults in Helen," replied Mrs. Atwood. "And is marriage like death," said Mr. Atwood, "that you forget them all, as soon. as she is separated from you? Have We not always seen these defects, and labored to correct .them? know her good quali ties too. She is affectionate, kind, gentle, end forgiving, and always Willing to con fess a fault, though somewhat too apt to re peat it. I know, too, that she' has a fund of deck feeling, hid under a somewhat carele.se.exterior; and that her -temper . was cast in nature's finest mould. All this I know, and much more; and doubt not that Mr. Howard will see these things as clear ly, and , appreciate, them ge highly, as I do. So cheer up, my, dear 'Susan, and instead df spending this weaning' time from your child in sombre forebodinp,'he grateful to a kind Providence for giving her such a husband, and trust her confidingly : to his care."

Ile was 'of the opinion that . praise is always injurious. Ile was not alone in that be lief. Many persons seem to think, that even the most merited commendation must induce vanity and pride. Pity it is that some who have embraced this view, were not equally afraid of continual censure, or even of slander and detraction! Let no one think, from the preceding picture, that Helen was an unhappy wife. She was far from it. - No one could be un happy who loved and,respeeted a husband as she loved and respected Mr. Howard, and who dciubt6il not that her affection Was reciproelted. There were Only occasion al clouds - that crossed the land-scapo, mak ing, the returning sunbeams still brighter. Years as well 'as months glide away; and when Helen was four-atid-twepty, she was. the mother of a son, a daughter, and an other son, In the meantime, she had suf fered a severe alllietion.., Her mother had ' been taken away by death; but site lived long enough to have all her fear's allayed as to pee daughter's domestic felicity. -She saw nothing, heard nothing to s lead her to doubt that it was as perfect as could be ex pected in this imperfect'word. Indeed, she knew not, that so far as connubial hap , pinesss was concerned, a elbud had ever passed over her, ,daughter's path; and it was long-ere Helen herself:was aware that the clouds were darker and-more frequent —the sun-shine rarer, and Of shorter con tinuance.

The power of pleasing, or giving sails= faction, seems to be taken from us, just in proportion as we despair of exercising. it. Helen was almost hopeless of securing her 'husband's apprdbation, and =her ':ileart was depressed by discouragement.", She remitted none of her efforts to please—it had become a habit of her mind, —bot. .she .was scarcely conscious that her endeavors now arose less from the hope of receiving' commendatiou; than from a desire' to es cape reproof and censure.. . For thefirst three years of Helen's mar- . ried .life:,. the sunshine had ,greatly prepon - dented over the-Clouds; for the last three, the clotls•had been gradually gaining the preponderance over the sunshine; 'and be.; fore another closed, they gathered over her head, to be dispersed again,'onty when the sun of life was sitting., - -•• .

"Helen burst into an agntiy of tears, and falling at her husband's feet, clasped his hand in hers. "Do you doubt my sorrow?" she cried, in a voice chocked by the violence of her emotion. "0, do not thus break my heart! Forget that I havc.displeasod you, now, or ever—fqr wilfully I would never do so. 0, say that all is forgiven and -for gotten?" She was looking op into : his eyes, but their expression was cold and unfeeling as ever. In truth ho was moved ; (or he saw the agony of his wife's feelings,. but he thought, that perhaps was be less ready to forgive, he should have loss frequent oc r casion to.do so, and he suffered not a fea ture to relax. • Helen looked steadfastly at Jiim for a moment—while her heart was throbbing; and every luncle of her face was working with anguish—to catch the first indication of forgiveness and reconciliation; but nothing of the kind was visible. A. chailge came over her in a moment. Her muscles ceased to tremble; her heart ceased its tu •multnous throbbing; and she calmly arose. and left the apartment. This was some ,thing now; and for an instant lie was in clined to.follow her; but the.former thought returned—••l have made peace too readily; inure marked displeasure may have a bet ter effect," and. he restrained the iinpulse. There was a voice within which whisper ed that he had - not done quite right; never theleeslie returned to his engagements, and left Helen to hers. When Helen left the parlor; she went to her chamber.. She felt perfectly calm and indifferent. "For nearly seven years," thought she, "it has-been nly' sole study to please him, and what is my reward!" She sat down and mused. „Her entire in tellectual being seemed resolved into me; story, and her whole , married life rushed 'in reView before here She saw 'her own uniform desire to secure his approbation, and to do his . pleasure,—and Mr. How ard's excreting, his fault finding, his unfor- . giving spirit.

Formerly she had been jug like an atibctionate; confiding, dependant child; ev ery joy and every sorrow was poured into hi.sear; her whole soul,was laid bare before him. At once tihe had become the dignifi ed, reserved, self possessed woman. She said 'nothing either of what pleased or trou- Llod her.' She expressed neither hello's, nor fears, nor .wishes. She .conversed freely upon aTrilibjects proposed if themselves were out of the'question,—but here,she re mained impenetrably silent.
