happy, gay, but dependent Mrs. Snecks. They
concluded to live. Hi a farm; and a very desirable

"It wonld be impossible," said the newly wed

jto purchase that place. I could not sell my
_ property without a. sacrifice."
-Sell his property without a saerufiee!
Mr. Sneaks proposed that the farm should be
purchased with her money; and this was accor
dingly done. A due supply of stock and far
ming utensils were procured, and thus was in
vested nit less than twe;ve thotuand dollars. In
a town near, by, was a house and lot for sale.
which could be had for three thousand, though
that was not more than half the real value. Both
husband and,wife thought this a very desirable
investment; consequently it was made; and this
consummated all Mn'. reek's ready money.—
This property-6)th the farm and that in town,
was conveyed, as propertr usually is, to thO hus
band. Arrangements were duly made, and this
happy pair commenced their new life, in the

"That new wife shall know! Shall know

heart at orate opireAbett her, a recoil of affection
made her shudder. After a time, her thought'
reverted to other interests. "And so my good
old Jerry, and 31r. Eldridge's watch, and the
buggy, and other things, have gone, to pay Mr.
Sneek's debts. Now, that is wrong" mused the
agitated woman. She felt•lcry uncomfortable
after hearing the above; but be was such a lov
ing, trusting creature, that many days had not
passed before she regained her former spirits.—
The affectionate part of her nature alone had been
developed. Her husband seemed to doat upon
her as at first• and she soon dismissed. all fears
that there had been , anything wrong in his for
mer life. Occasionally that threat would ring
in her ear—" Twill expose youi" but she eon
soled herself, with the flattering unction—"the
best of men have been guilty of indiscreti Mime
time in their lives,'and I presume this was noth
ing very bad."
Scarcely a year 'had passed, however, before
the wife found barbelf restricted in various direc

Sometimes she would attempt to laugh about

She began to feel, ere long that this was a

had lowered herself in her own estimation—it

the spirit that brought her into, circumstance+
that forced her to act contrary to her own con
tigion of propriety?
Mr. Sneeks appeared to have a great passion
for trading; but he generally-made bad bargains.
He urged the selling of the, house and lot in
town,- and the buying of a less valuable place, to
which` his wife consented.. He sold a large
amount of .property and bought comparatively
little. What was done with the balance of
funds, his companion -never knew. He was in
the habit of visiting - the city frequently, which
was poly two hours ride, by •railroad, from his
own home. Although he generally .said - lie
should return the neat day, yet hteften ftal t:

ed her exceedingly. She know dust he always
went-with his pocket-book well-filled and came
back with it entirely empty; but she earedies+

hung over his stay.
Mr. Smocks was not a professed gambler but
he played sometimes; neither was he au habitual

he had his sprees occasionally,'and very high
onee they were. These were. always taken
abroad; and then he not only spent all the fund+
he had with him, but qfteu . involved himself to
a line extent. In three . years from the time',
thetwere married, he had orrand6red not less
than five thousand dollars that belonged to his
wife.

that her future husbausican do no wrong—then
I she needs protection. But, instead thereof, she
is entangled in difficulties, while the bad man
avails himself of the tom

for evil doing.

"Ito Woks not gill to asks opproodoo bitter."
Alice had lived with Mrs. Somas for many
years, but at length she married', greatly to the
sorrow of the mistress,
"Yon must go to-day, Mr. Sneeks," said the
latter, "and get another girl. I can do without
no longer. I never worked half as hard in my
life as I have the last week."
But week after week, and month after month
pawed, and no kelp was obtained. Sire . could
not go beraelf, eke had no bone to go with, and
Mr- Sneaks would not go. 'Whether he ,was
governed-more by avarice , or by ugliness, t it ,was
difficult to tell. Mrs. neeks worked herself
down so thin thavhe seemed nearly as unsub
stantial as a shadow. All through haying and
.harvesting the house was filled with laborers, and
yet she did the work herself; and sometimes
when she was ready to drop with fatigue, with a
trembling in every Huth, and a quivering in ev
ery nerve, he would come and begin t. , ,1 fret.
"Come! come: isn't dinner ready? The .men
are all waiting. 1 could get a rls . fen dinners be
fore this time. Come, boys: come! Pat on the
pudding, wife."
On one of these occasions, when it was exceed
ingly warm, and every fibre of her system had
been taxed to its utmost tension,-he began, very
impatiently—
" How, long before dinner will be scaly' just
tell me that."
"Very: soon , •• replied the wife, laid she step

more. T big tears chased each other down
her cheeks, but she hardly dared take the time
to wipe them away. Then. too, another invec

"Come, down't stop to snivel now:"
Presently Sneeks returned from the cellar,
where ho had been sneaking abOut endeavoring
to-see what ho could find amiss. His face-pbr
tended a still heavier storm.
"Did you know that the beer was out of the
barrel?" said he, almost grinding his teeth with
rage.
".I. supposed it was nearly gone."
"And yet you have brewed no more. The

"Well. Mr. Sneeks, how could I brew this

This was too much. The poor woman grout
