As Mr. Seth Woodsum was mowing one
morning in the lower baying field, and hia
eldest son, Obediab, a smart boy of thirteen
opening the mown grass to the sun, Mr.
Woodsum looked up towards the bouse, and
beheld bis little daughter Harriet, ten years
of age, rushing towards him with the graar
est speed. As tlie came up he perceived
that she was greatly agitated; tears were run
ning down her ebeeks, aud ehe bad scarcely
breath enough tospiak.
'Oh father, she faintly articulated, moth
er y dreadful sick; she's on the bed, and she
shall die before you get there.'
Mr Woodsum was"a xnau of sober, j-ound
mind and calm nervps; but. be bad, what
sometimes happens in this cold and loveless
world of ours, a tender attachment for bis
wife, which made the message of the little
girl fall on bis heart like a dart. Tie drop
ped his Ecythe, and ran with great haste to
the house. Obediah who was at the other
end of the field, seeing, the unusual move
ment of his father dropped his fork, and ran
with all his might, aud the two entered the
house almost the same tiaie. Mr. Woodsum
hastened to the bedside, and took wife's hand
"My dear Sally sail he what is the maiter
with you?"
"What is the matter?, echoed Mrs Wood
sum, with a plaintive groan. "I shouldn't
think you need to ask what i the matter,
3Ir Woodsum. Don't you seo I'm dying."
"Why, no, Sally, you don't look as if-you
were d ing. What is the matter? How do you
feel?"
Woodsum, without waiting to make further
inquiries, told Obediah to run and jump on
the horse, and ride after Dr. Fairfield, and
get him to come over as quick as he can
come." Tell him I am afraid your mother is
djiog. If the doctois borie is away off in the
pasture, ask him to take our horse and come
riLt over, whilst you go and catch his."
Obediah with tears in his eyes, and his
heart in his mouth, flew as though he had
wings added to his feet, and in three minutes
time he mounted upon "Old Gray," and was
galioplor rith fall speed towards Dr. Fair-
field.
"My deer," said Mr. Woodsum, leaning
his head upon the pillow, how do you fed?
what makes you think yon are dying? And
uq ten JprJ j Jvissti lier firehai Lo epoke,-
aad pressed her hand to his bosom.
1 "O Samuel," for she generally cailed his
Christian name, when under the influence of
tender emotions; "I have pains darting thro'
my Lead, and most all over ne; and I feci
Jizy, and can't hardly see; and my heart beats
a3 though it would come through my side
And besides, I felt as though I was dying.
I'm sure I can't live till tight; and what will
become of n;y pxr children? and she sobed
heavily, and burst ia a flood of tears.
Mr. Woodsum was affected. lie could not
bring himself to believe that his wifa was in
such immediate danger of dissolution as she
seemed to apprehend. He thought she had
no appearance of a dying person; but still
her earnest and positive declaration that she
should not live through the day, sent a thrill
through his veins, and a sinking to his heart
that no language had power to describe. Mr.
Woodsum was as ignorant of medicine as a
chuu; he taerefore did not attempt to do anv
thing to relieve his wife, except to try and
soothe her feelings by kind and eocouragio
words, till the doctor arrived. The hal
bour which elapsed, from tho time Obediah
left till the doctor came seemed to Mr. Wood
sum almost an age. He repeatedly went from
the bcd&ide to tho door, to look and see if the
doctor was anywhere near, and as often re
turned to hear his wife groan, and say she
was sinking fast, and could not stand it very
many minutes longer.
At ltuzth J)r. Fairfield rode up to the door
on Mr. Woodsums ' "Old Gray," and with
saddle bags in hand, hastened into the house.
A brief examination of the patient convinced
that it was a decided case of hypocondria, and
he soon spoke encouraging words to her; al
though she was considerably unwell, he did
not doubt she would be better in a little
whita.
"Oh Doctor, how can you say so?" said
Mrs Woodsum, "don'tyou see I'm dying?
I can't possibly live till niffht: I'm sinkiu?
very fast, Doctor, and I shall never see tho
suu rise again Mv heart sometimes almost
stops its beatmgnow.and my feet and hands are
growing cold. . liut I must see my dear chil
dren once more; do let them como ia and bid
me farewell." Here she was so overwhelmed
with tears and sobs as to prevent her saying
more.
The doctor having administered the drugs
in such cases made and provided, is followed
out by Mr. Woodsum, all anxiety to learn the
real danger of the case. He is assured that
it is only an attack of hypochondria; and the
good lady herself ere long recovers.
Again and again, -however, is our friend
Seth summoned from the plow, and the doc
tor from pills, to administer consolation and
relief in her dying hour, and again and again
does she recover. We give below tho story
of Death's Last Assault.
At last the sober, saddening days of autum
came on Mr. Woodsum was in the midst of
his fall work, which had been several times
interrupted by these periodical turns of des
pondency in his wife. - One morning he went
to bis work early, for he had a heavy day's
work to do, and had engaged one of his neigh
bors to come with two yoke of oxen and plow
to help him break up an old mowing field.
nis neighbor could only help him that day.
and he was very anxious to plow the whole
field.
He accordingly had left the children and
the nurse in the house, with strict charge to
take good, pare of their mother.
Mr; Woodsam was"driving the team, and
hia neighjbor holdings the plow, and things
weot oh "to their mind, till bout ten o'clock
in the Cyennon, when little Harriet came run
ning, to. the field, and told her father that her
mother was 'dreadful sick.' and wanted him
to come as quick as he could for she was cer
tainly dying now. Mr Woodsum without
sajing a word, drove the team to the end of
the furrow; but ho looked thoughtful and per
plexed. Although he felt persuaded that the
danger was imagiuary, as it had always proved
before, sid the idea of the bare possibility
that this sickness might be unto death, pres
sed upon him with such power, that he laid
dowft" 'ioad stick, and telling his neighbor 1
Xo iet Ur cattle brewtho awhile, walked de
liberately towards the house- liefore he had
accomplished the whole distance, however,
his own imagination had added such wings
to his speed that he found himself moving at
a quick run. lie entered the house and found
his wife as he had so often found her before,
in her own estimation almostrcady to breathe
her last. . Her voice was faint and low, and
her pillow wa3 wet with tears. She had al
ready taken leave of her dear children, and
only waited to exchange a few words with
her beloved husband. Mr. Woodsum ap
proached her bedside and took her hand ten
derly as he had ever been wont to do, but he
could not perceive any symptoms of approach
ing dissolution, different from what he had
witnessed on a dozen former occasions.
"Xow my dear," said Mrs. Woodsum,
faintly, the time has come at. last. 1 feel
that 1 am on my death-bed, and have but a
short time to stay with you. But I hope we
shall feel resigued to the will of heaven. I
would gojrheerfully, dear, if it was not for
ruy anxieFy about you and the children. Now
don't you think my dear, she continued with
increasing tenderness, 'don'tyou think it would
bebest for yoa to be married again to some
kind, good woman, that would be a mother to
our dear little ones, and make jour home
pleasant to ail of you?
She paused and looked earnestly in hi? face.
"Well, I've sometimes thought of late, it
might be best," said Mr. Woodsam, with a
very solemn air.
"Then you have been thinking about it?"
said Mrs. Woodsum, with a slight contraction
of the muscles of the face.
.'"J. yes, said Mr. Woodsum, "I have
sometime thought about it since you have had
spells of beiug very sick. It makes me fell
dreadfully to think of it, I don't know but it
might be my duty."

that, my dear, for I assure you I shall be
very particular. The pjrson I shall probably
have Ls'cne of the kindest and best tempered

"liut have you been thinking of any one

with a niauifest look of uneasiness.

"But, Mr. Woodsum, you must tell me
who it is. I never could die iu peace until
you do."
"It is a suhiect too painful to think about.
and it don't appcur to me that it would be
best to call names," said Mr. Woodsum.
"JJut I insist upon it." said Mrs Wood
sum, who had by this time raised herself up
with creat caruestuess. aud was leaning ou '
her elbow, while her searching gUiieo was
reading everjr luuide in her hu.sbau'a face,
"Mr. Woodsum, I insist upon if"
"Well," said Mr. Woodsum with a sigh,
"if you insist upon it, my dear, I have thought
that should it be the will of Providence to

have thought I would marry tor my second
wife, Hannah Lovejoy."
An early fire once more Sashed from Mrs.
Woodsuru's eyes she leaped from the bed
like a cat. walked across the room and seated
herself in a chair.
"What?" she exclaimed in a
trembling
voice, almost chdked by agitation "what:

Ther? are few families, we imagine, Any
where in which love is not abused for furnish
ing a license for impoliteness. A husband,
father or brother, will speak harsh words to
those whom he Ijvcs the best, and to those
who love him the best, simply because the
security of love and family pride keeps him
from getting his head broken It is a shame
that a man will speak more impolitely, at
times, to Lia wife or sister, than he would

The
man who, because it will not bn resented, in
fiicts his spleen and bad temper upon those
of his hearthstone, is a small coward, and a
very mean man. Kind words are the cir
culating medium between true gentlemen and
true ladies at home, aud no r olish exhibited
in society can atone for the harsh language
and disrespectful treatment too often indulged
in between, those bound together by God's
own ties of blood and the still more sacred
bonds of conjugal love.
Human Mature. An Eastern paper tells
a good anecdote of au opulent widow lay,
who once afforded a queer illustration of that
cold compound of incompatiblcs called "hu
man nature." It was on a Christmas Eve of
one of those old fashioned winters which were
so cold. The old lady put on an extra shall
as shj hugged her shivei ing frame, she said
to hT faithful Dcgro servant: "It's terrible
cold to night, Seip. I am afraid my poor
neighbor, widow Green, must be suffering.
Take the wheelbarrow, fill it full of wood,
pile on a good load, and tell the poor woman
to keep herself comfortable, lint before you
go, Scip, put some more wood on the fire, and
make me a nice mug of flip." These last
orders were duly obeyed, and the old lady
was thorough! warmed both inside and out j
And now the trusty old Scip was about to
depert on his errand of loercy, when his j
considerate mistress interposed again: "Stop, I
cap. i ou need not go now. Ihe weather
