He was proud of his wife's glossy ringlets, her brilliant eyes, and, last of all, her small white hands. He never once asked himeelf if these same hands could iron a shirt, make bread, or mend a pair of socks. Not he; it was enough to know that they could make trills onthe piano, work worsted dogs and horses on crickets and ottomans, and paint something styled a landseape. She was not literary cither. Henry Thornton could’nt tol- erate that kind of absurdity __ In his opinion, a woman had much better be asleep, than putting her thoughts upon paper. He thank- ed fortune, too, that she never took to reading dry disquisitions, tedious essays, or egotistical stical books. Besides, his Helen didn’t care about politics, being a reg- ular ‘‘ Know Nothing”? in regard to the item of who stood the best chance of being the next President. As to the war in the East, she could not tell positively whether Sebastopol was up or down, or whether it was in the the Allies or Russians. Reformation she uever broached, either; temperance ly fit for drunkard’s wives to talk about. it will be perceived that Helen Thornton as not @ ‘‘strong-minded’’ female; a fact upon which her husband felicitated himself not a little. We have said that two months comprised the married life of the latter. It would be grati- fying to add that his happiness was ecompicte. that he had nothing to wish for; but candor compels me to say that he had discovered a little alloy in his gold. To be sure it would pass for pure metal, but close examination dis- closed the fact. In a word, his coffee had been erceedingly muddy for more than a week and when he cautiously dropped a hint to the cf- fect that if her personal attention was given to the matter, the evil might,be remedied, she rather tartly respon that ‘‘coffee-making was net her busin oreover shutting her- self up in her chamber in a miff, thus deprir- i of her precious company for the rest day. A kiss and a new scarf set the matter right the next morning, however, Mr. Thornton throwing in gratis an apology for his ill-timed suggestion. He remembered that all (and we may as well include an- n attain to perfection; the roses a! ways grow in the immediste vicinity of thorns and that rainbows and black clouds are often seen together. Itis a curious fact, but no less true, thot love scarcely ever outlives bad bread, smokey tea, thick coffee, hard boiled eggs, discolored silver, and soiled table linen After all the romance and rhapsody laid to his charge, the little gentleman deals in practicabilities. He likes bread and butter, and he wants the bread light and the butter swect. Heisa little exacting, too; insisting that gaiters lock better neat! ced than when open and flap ping at the sides, with the strings trailing on the ground. He was even known once to take an abrupt leave of a lady on the ostensible plea of dissimilarity of disposition; but shrewd people suspected that the true reason was because she wore dirty collars. He may be whimsical flighty, aud extravagant eome- times, but he is just as sure to leave his air- castles and settle down quietly to the three meals a day and a cigar in the evening, as a feather is to obey the laws of gravitation. He writes tender poetry, too; but generally in- spiration seizes him after eating heartily of roast beef; the sly rogue knows that an emp- ty stomach is not fayorable to smooth rhyme or soft sentiment. The honeymoon had just expired, or, rather, the months allotted to that interesting period ; for it has been ascertained that that season can be protracted by proper means to an in- definite length cf time The twain were seated at the breakfast table. Mr. Thornton looked dubiously at the burned and dried steak on the platter before him, made a wry face at his cup of coffee, took one mouthful of the clammy, Rectiery toast, and then spoke : ‘My dear Helen.”’ “Well, Mr. Thornton.’* ‘Did you ever eat any of my mother’s bread?" “ No—why do you ack ?”” ‘* Because she makes the best biscuit I ever saw.” ‘Undoubtedly! A man’s mother is gener- ally his wife’s superior in everything. I onl wonder he is ever persuaded to leave her !*’ nded Mrs. Thornton dryly. twas the first time she had ever spoken sarcastically, and Henry was puzzled. ++I merely referred to my mother because she superintends the bread making herself. I wish you could be induced to do the same,”’ The lady lifted her taper fingers. ‘Do you really wish me to putty my hands with pie crust, and bury my arm in dough, Mr. Thornton?’ “‘No—not that exactly, my love; but you could overlook Biddy, and teach her to make better stuff than this,’’ ho added, pointing t» the toast, ‘+ That wouldn’t spoil your hands, would it?” Rm “*E don’t know how; besides, Biddy don’t want me in the kitchen, and I’m not particu- larly attracted there. I don’t mean to id my life doing housework, or fretting at servants. I’m not ableto do anything more than wait upon the table and entertain vie- itors.”” The bride sighed and leaned back in her chair. “«But your cousin Mary keeps no help and still gets time to—”” ‘*My cousin Mary is very foolish to do so ae more thes. she used to. And then her ands are as brown as a 3.” “T never happened ytd them. I onl. remember she makes delicate pastry, an: plays.the plane nearly as well as yourself,"’ rejoined Mr. Thornton, peerage ¢ «I wish you wouldn’t quote sin Mary. I don’t like comparison.

That his ado- rable Helen could be ‘perverse when it suited her, he well knew; but that she should ‘‘pat down ber foo” so determinedly, set him to thinking.
