said Nrs. to' her husband, as he•lean

•" No, thank- you," he answered, in a
halfpeevish tone, and rising abruptly, tools .
his hat and left the room.

married about two years. His wife—one
ola thousand—and ono little, smiling'eher
'ubr:who was beginning to exhibit ' those
winning and playful ways'that parents, of
all others, find so very attractive: And if
their establishment WES not t splendid, ac

there:was something throughout wifich be

owners. They :knew how tti apply and
to enjoy rationally' the' wealth Wherewith .
Providence had blessed them. The tithe . ,
they had spenftegether had rather strength
seed than diminished their attachment,
formed, as it was, on mutu . al • worth, and
'highly cultivated endowments:
But to return :`Mrs. M. followed the re
treating form of her husband with an anx
ious and tearful eye, -and then leaning her
head upon hen hand, 'gave' vent to her ag
onized .feelings in a flOod of tears.. She
did not hope for her husband's return 13 - e•-
fore the .hour for dinner, 'and having Co r r
several - days marked his altered demeanor
she had in' vain striven to fathoin the
causa l and had hoped ere this to have some
explanation ; but it was plain that.he shun
ned her society, and for tlie. first, time shut
her out from his confidence. Yet he- was
certainly - UoLat_easo, and evidently anxious
to evade any conversation on the subject.—
She•had• preserved her equanimity, nay e
ven appeared gay, in his ,presence ; but
now that she was alone, her long suppress
ed anxiety broke forth in agony that took her
long to subdue. Yet - she had in some
measure.regained her tranquility, when Mr.
M. suddenly entered. His heart smote
him for his conduCt to his wife—yet he
dreaded to tell her that he was a—bank
_
rupt..
• He knew her worth and her Confiding
tenderness,, but he wished her dream of
happiness to last as long as possible, and 'he
in vain essayed to tell her.unslirinkingly
that an Unfortunate speculation had reduc ,
dd them from affluenee to poverty: Yet
the traces of anxiety and stfffering,which
lingered on the countenance of Mrs. M de
termined him; and seating.himself beside
her he made a candid ant: full disclosure of
his altered fortunes.
" And is this all," , said Mrs. M. in a
gay tone ; "is it the loss of a few thou
sands—the probable saeritl'ce of a few su
perfluities, that you have feared to tell me?"
" But consider, Ellen," said Mr. M.
"you as yot know nothing of poverty
from actual experience. It is easy. .to
dream of " love in a cottage," and . " rural
scenes devoid of care ;" tint when Povertyi
that biting fiend, comes in person and strips
. us,'One by one, not only of the elegancies
but the actual comforts of life, we-feel that
there is more of bitterness than poetry in
his actual presence." . .
" We shall see," she said gaily, and
treating herself by file piano, poured forth
snail a glad strain Of harmony that-Mr M.
himself 'yielded to its influencei. and don
feteed that tfiey might even yet be very
happy.
" }lnt, said he, " should you be corn

lieved already of half his misfortunes, now
that his wife knew his direumstanbeii i ,and
Hehis alteredmisfortunes so 'calmly.
H --
e ate his - dinner-with- composurti t ' and
,returning to his store set himself to a
thorough investigation of his affairs. He
found them, not so bad as he had at first
feared; and, though his business must be
suspended, and his style of living cbntract
ecl, yet he hoped to pay all his debts, and
trusted to the future to retrieve the'piesent.
• Such were his-communications to Mrs.
M. • " And yet," he said, "when I think
of the advantages you must relinquish—
the privations you may haVe to encounter,
I confess my spirit so metimes.inisgives me
at theprospeCt."- • • • ;
r" We 'will see:" said Mrs. M. "first
here a large house—for__three •of us ;

'house, haw comfortable it looked.

. " Then hele, i§ a Aulantity Of

—another material item in the vexations of
life. Again, in our snug little house, none
but our real friends will ever take the trou
ale to find us out—mote time'saved. So,
you perceive on every hand. we must be
•
gainers."
But; though Mrs: affection for her
husband, and her own excellent understimd
_
ing, prompted het' to treat the present pbs
61**
of affairs' so lightly, and though she
held_ berself_ready _to liake_anylsaerifice_
with cheerfulness
. which circumstances
might require,"yet she knew and felt, keen ,
ly that the draught which adverSity cotn-.
pels us to swallow is indeed bitter . _She
knewenough. of societr to be_ well aware
. that in tite circle Which prosperity draws
around us there are . always scoe
with envious eyes on our -condition, and
would_exell..at our fallen fortunes ; but
whatever elle* felt, she saw that her hus.-
band felt more, and...resolved that no repin
logs on her part should add one• atom to
his perplexities. •
Ring, ding! wont the bell, at an early
hour, at did' house of re-: Deborah Green
wood ; and the servant ushered, in Mrs.
Marshal.
"Have you heard the news ?", said she
after a few preliminaries.
"What news ?"
"Oh, only that Mr, M. has failed—pesi ,
tively Ibit every thing !—a great specula=
tor, they say. But do you know that it is
hinted that his habits - are, in secret; quite
dissipated, and that he has lost heavy sum■
at the gaming table ?"
•"Bnt," chimed in . Miss Greenwood,
"what is to liecinne of poor Mrs. M. ? she
will have to lower her pre!ensions; Tm,
thinking.".
"After all it is no such great pity," ob
served -Mrs: Marshall ; "I never could see
what there was in her more than in other
folks,'that every one should-go mad about
Mrs. M.'s good taste, and Mrs. M.'s good
temper,and Mrs. M.'s surpassing abilities.
Trust me, that when it is known that Mrs.
M. is poor, she will be no 'more courted
than any of us."
This very charitahle tete-a-tete was ip
. orropted by the arrival of another visiter
—;;Mrs. Bell. She . had more of genuine
kindness in her nature, and heard of Mr.
M.'s misfortunes with' unfeigned regret,
not excepting:his-habits-of _dissipation_and
the suggestions of wanton extravagance on
the part of Mrs. M. "I have been. a fre
quent visitor at their house," said Mrs.
Bell,_"at all hours, and have thought their
domestic arrangements amongst the best
I have ever seen ; 'and I have looked upon
them as a pattern of conjugal happiness."
After a few minutes spent in miscellane
'ous convet sation, Mrs. Bell appologized
for her short stay,.saying that "as she had
just heard of Mrs. M.'s misfortunes she '
'felt inexcusable in' appearing to neglect
her, at a time, too, when her mind must be
exceedingly sensitive on the subject:
- "Just like yourself," said Mrs. liar
-
shall, "and by your leave I will bear you
company—for really 'I am quite curious to
see how she carries . herself at present:"
."And I, too," said Miss Greenwood ;
"as' the • morning is fine will be of-your
party." ,
We will. not scan more minutely the mo
tives which Severally prompted the ,trio al
they 'started togetherfor a call on Mrs. M.
They found, her at home,
.dressed neatly
but plainly,and were received with so much
politeness and Cheerfulness,.and she con
versed with.so much affihility and even
vivacity, that Mrs. Marshall and Miss
Greenwood often a*Chinged glances;. as

This was a most • welcome communica
tion to Helen; for she ieit'that the judge
meta and experience of Mrs. .Bell would
materially_ aid her in maturing 'her private
plans for the future, To her 'thbrefo - re;
she made a plain and candid statement of
their circumstances ; adding that although
Mr. - M. hoped, by giving up all his effects,
to satisfy all just demands, Yet there
would be but a slender pittance left, and
that considerable time must elapse before'
he could be again engaged in any profit

"And now, my dear friend, continued

CHAPTER 'III
It was -a r pleasant morning in the Month . _
of June.when, MO. Bell's carriage drove
up to a small but genteel looking -house in
the" . upper part of the city, and having 'a
lighted, gave ordprs tq the 'coachman not to
•
call for her until evening . :
She, wateshown into a neat parlor, where
- a-genteci-muLhappy looking, woman was
enghged with a group of young' ladies,.
whom she was instructing in some fancy
work; but as the lesson seemed 'nearly
concluded she begged she might . not.be any
interruption ; and gently seating herself on
the sofa, took a leisure survey of- the scene
around her. The apartment : to some
would have seemed plhinly furnished, but
yet there was such an air of elegance and
refinement throughout, that iii"nZited her
to think of any thing lacking. Then there
was such a display of neatness and order
.
in t he arrangement that at once suggested
to the mind the idea of comfort—and — con=

, Mrs. Z—for she was the lady of the
mansion --:-soon„ dismissed her little com
pany, and prepared. to entertain her guests
With .the same cheerfulness and urbanity
which had distinguished her more prosper
ous days. I will not say she felt more
happy, butlt, was evident the pleasing con
sciousness of performing her duty ant,
lessening the c res of a husband deserved
ly dear to her, more than counterbalanced
the trouble.olperforming it. She was' one
who did not place her dignity in the mere
equipage of wealth ; and it would not have
been less conspicuous even in the most ab
ject poverty.
As the - dialer hour approached, firs.lll;
apologized for a short absence, merely' ob

mestic establishinent was not extensive:—
But little did her friend imagine, when the
well-ordered and well-dressed dinnei ap
peared,. together with the neatly attired
and elegan(hostess, that a single servant
constituted her whole establishment. At
dinner Mr.. M. appeared, net the dejected
broken-spirited man, but the happy hus
band and father, whose home was of all
places ,on earth the one happy place for
him. It was true their house was no lon
ger the resort or promiscupits visitors, for
"they lived solar, so Very far up town,"
that it was not possible. for their fashiona
ble friends to Visit their' often'; but then
the little circle who knevir and appreciated
that worth which coul'd survive the decay .
Of fortune made up enough of society to a
couple mutually happy in each other and
contented it their lot.
