CURING A GRUMBLER; Or, Three Days at Heme. 1 —FIRST DAY “There, my dear, I brought you home three warts of berries,’’ seid Jobn Paley, the black- aren as he laid the basket down upon the table. “What in the world did you bring three | quarts for? I can’t use more than two,” re- plied Mrs Paley. | “Ob, well, now I think of it, Mrs. Thomp- | son wante a quart, and wished me to get it for her, if the man camo along to day.’ ‘“*Humph! Now I think of it, I want them myself, and Mrs. Thompson cannet have them!” “Never mind; I left a quart at the shop for luncheon to-morrow ; she can have them.’” ‘Do without them yourself ?’’ “ Certainly ; if she wants them, she can have them.’ ‘You take good care of Mrs. Thompson, ad- ded Mrs Paloy, with a slight sneer.’ ‘Only take a quart of berries for her.’’ “That is more than she would do for you or me.”’ “Oh, no; I guess not.’” ‘‘f asked her to lend me her wash-tub the other morning, and she would’nt do it,’’ re- plied Mrs Paley, rather spitefully. “« Wouldn’t do it?” “No.” “* Wouldnt lend you a wash-tub !”” John Paley was agtonished and indignant Mrs. Thompson was a widow who lived in the next honse, and he had frequently been called upon to perform sundry little chores for her. which her lonely condition required ; and now to have her refuse ts lend his wife a wash-tub, was the highest of ingratitude, and he rc- solved on the spot that Mrs. Thompson should not have the berries. ‘She isn’t an angel,’’ added Mrs. Paley. “T never supposed she was.

John wanted to say that we, like the editoriel singular, only meant himself, but he had no wish to stir up strife. “She told me she had her clothes in it,” continued Mrs. Paley. “Well?” ‘She didn’t seem willing to lend it to me, 80 when she offered to take them out, and let me have the tub, [ told, her ehe needn't trou- ble herself ”’ “Tt was very wrong, ay fe fer you to ask her to lend you her tub on Monday morning " “I suppose eo; if any one was wrong, of course, I am the one,”’ pouted Mrs. P. disgusted by her husband's partiality an jastice. “Never mind, Mary; is supper ready? ’ ‘\No; that wood you got last is such miser- able stuff, it won’t burn at all. “It is the best that 1 could get, and the best there is, for that matter. I gave eight dollars a cord for it.”” ‘* A fool and his money are soon parted.’’ ‘* A fool and her husband ——”’ but John cut the sentence short, thinking it a little too wicked for the occasion. “Just like you! If there is a fool any- where about, I am the one!” “Never mind, Mary. Let us have somo supper as soon as youcan. I am going to the caucus this evening. “You are? You never stay at home even- ings now.”’ “Why, my dear, I have not been out of the house of an evening but once for a month ”’ | ‘* Why need you go at all?” ‘Because I am deeply interested in the election? ’ ‘* More than you are in your wife,”’ replied she, petulagtly, as she opened the stove-oren to see if the biscuit were ready. “I declare! this is the meanest oven I ever saw. It will not bake worth a cent.’’ * Have you just found that out?” “It never was good for anything ”’ And so Mrs. Paley went on from one thing to another, regularly and ony con- demning everything to which she put her hand. She was not suited. Everything and everybody was out of joint. Nothing went right, nobody could do anything to suit her. John Paley was not particularly happy in his domestic relations.

She had all that heart of woman needed to make her happy—a good home, a good and kind bhusband—so that her life might have boen perpetual sunshine, if she chose to have it so. Patience and perseverance overcome all things, and they will overcome the vilest ha- bit that ever clung to sinning mortal With her the palm of victory was disputed inch by inch, and occasionally the husband had to tell hor the tea was dishwater, that the cakes tasted of saleratus, or something of this kind; but the cure at lest was completed. She learned to look on the bright side and to ig- nore the dark side To John Paley belonged the credit of the cure. Another might have become di with matrimony, pronounced the whole thing a humbug, and gone from his home to seek solace in the company of the abandoned and dissolute. To him the remembrance of bis wife’s devotion in his sickness was like an oasis in the desert. It is true, it was herduty to take care of him in sickness; but ber de- votion was not bounded by the mandate of duty, it the off-spring of love. It was the heart’s tribute, and her husband saw that her grumbling was only a dark shadow tbat obecured the brightness of her character, and he chased the cloud away —True Flag Lost Booxs or ras Bisus.—The following books are referred to in the Bible, but are now lost—the number is greater than is generally su) ed : The Proprecy of Enoch ; see Epistle to Jade, 4 The Book of the Wars of the Lord; see Nhe Provhetical Gospel of Eve, which re The Prophetical - lates to the Amours of the Sons of God with the Daughters of Men ; see Origen cont.

She could have realized how much pain her ceaseless and useless grum bling caused her affectionate husband, or sho never would have indulged in the habit. She would not make him unhappy for the world, and now when the lesson had opened her eyes the set a guard upon her ie. Almost always a habitual grumbler is an lindolent person A man or woman whose inind is occupied has no time to be discon- tented. But Mrs. Psley’s was a kind of moral indotence. Sbe permitted her noble faculties to sleep for the time, and discontent stole in while the sentinel was off guard. She had chosen & new course of action, but she had to watch with ceaseless vigilance just to curb the disposition to complain. To be indolent was to lose the battle, and to lose the battle was, pasar, to alienate the affections of her hus- ban But her best efforts were not wholly snocess- ful. Ske would forget herself and grumble before she thought; but John persevered in bis attempt to effect the cure “There, my dear, I have bought you a nice pair of cbickens,’’ said John, one ni, just deforo Thanksgiving, when he came homs from his daily labor. ‘““They are too—they are very nice ones, John,’’ replied she ‘Butdo you think we can afford to have chickens—that is, of course you know best what we can afford ” ‘Once in a while, my dear; we havn't had any this year.” ‘They are very nice "’ ** And cost me only ten cents a pound.’’ “« Very cheap.”’ John sat down to tea.

John Paley was of an easy temper. He was disposed to make the best of things as he found them; but there was no such thing as compromising with incessant grumbling. Un- like many others, he could not be driven to the dram shop, or even the usual haurts of loafers in the vountry places He was obsti- nately bent on staying home in the evening He was fond of reading, and home was the centre of his weet Gee Even the perversity of his wife could not eradicate this deeply seated love of home. Still home was not a pleasant place to him —at least not half as pleasant as it might be Mary loved him—he could not doubt that During a long illness the winter before, she bad been unremitting in her devotion A piece of red hot iron flew into his eye so that the ball of it had nearly run out He had suffered the most intense agony. By day he groaned with anguish, and he saw tho tears of his wife fall as she witnessed his suffering By night, while ho tossed in agony, she watch- ed by him, nor slumbered nor slept for a week. His pain was her’s and while he enf- fered she never complained of the watching and privation that his illness occasioned, she never used an ungentle word, even when worn out with suffering, he became testy and im- patient She loved him; shecould sacrifice all her comforts to him, and why should he not bear with herinfirmity? Should he, who had been 80 tenderly watched over, who had been nursed and cherished so devotedly by her, cast her out—should his affections be alienated from her? It is true, her failing was a grievous one. it gave him a continued uneasiness. It kept him harassed from one week’s end to the other. It almost embittered his very exist- ence. ««T will cure ber,”’ said John, while he was going home one day, as a new idea penetrated The Book of Jeshur; see Joshua x. 15,2 his brain. ‘She will find fault with me when | Sam. i. 18 an 2Chron ix I carry this leg of veal home.
