A FAMILY JAR. BY A. C. BURDICK. Once in a while there may be a ‘‘ household war, when the fault is all on one side, but this is not generally the case. If all the wars of thigdeseription could be thoroughly sifted down, it would be found that the whole trouble has resulted from some slight cause to begin with, though this might not always be the case. It js amusing. a3 well a8 mortifying, to observe how sympathy can sway the public mind in re- to such matters, and how ready people are to denounce this one or that one, according as mere sympathy or prejudice may dictate. Among my early friend was a Ned Cruden. Fle was @ steady, industrious, noble-hearted fellow, and one of the most faithful and true friends. Among our school mates was a girl named Abby Bicknell. She a kind playmate, a warm-hearted companion, anda good-natured, loving, secommodating friend. When she grew up she became Ned Cruden’s wife, and the newly married couple moved away. Some years passed, and we that had been shool-mates in youth, had become separated, and amid new scenes and new associations the friends of earlier years were gradually passin from memery, when one spring, business call me to the village of L- »in Vermont. I had been there some days. and was entering a store one afternoon, when I met a@ man coming out whose countenance was familiar. He passed on without noticing me, and I went into the store. For some time my mind was busy trying to recall the face I had just seen, but ere I could solve the question, my attention was called to a conversation which was going on among a number of men who sat on some boxes and barrels in one corner of the store. “I know anybody wouldn't suspect such a thing to look at him,” said a dried up man who was smoking 2 pipe, “ butit’safact. I hadit from his next door neighbor. He actually kicked his wife out of the house only three days “0, they live drefful onhappy,”’ chimed in a tall gawkyish looking fellow, who reminded me of an old cider barrel. ‘Ned beats her and kicks her the worst kind. Oneday when I was there to work—ye see we'd just gone in to din- ner—I seed Ned take her by the nap of the neck an’ chuck her into the little bed-room. By mitey, he was savage, now, you'd better be- lieve.” “ Well, I guess his wife ain’t one of the best women as ever was,’ remarked the third speaker. “Gee-whittaker! I reckon she ain't,” ex- claimed a youthful smoker. “My eyes, ebouldn’t I like to have the handling of that woman about a month !”* “And what would ye do?” asked the first speaker, rather dubiously. “Do? Why, Idtrim her down. I'd larn her manners.’ «Ireekon she’d larn you manners, or ele@ take the hair out of yer head,” observed an- other. “Why, I tell ye she’s a perfect satan —a real she-levil—when she gets a goin’.”’ I stood and listened to the conversation, and ere long ¢ made out that they were talking about J Cruden, and then I knew that it must have been Ned whom I met in the door- way. I was assured, from what I heard, that Ned and his wife lived unhappily together, and the thing surprised me not alittle. If Ned Cruden and Abby Bicknell make an unhappy mateh then what sort of people must be re- — for a happy one, I thought to myself. knew that Ned was a proud-spirited, inde- pendent fellow. but then what possible quality could Abby have that should come in contact with this? [could think of nothing. In short, I began to discredit the truth of what I had heard On the very next day I found where Ned lived, and called uponhim. I found him in his barn, and he was glad to see me, and after awhile his joy inereazed beyond all thought of care and trouble. “ And how is Abby ?’’ I asked, after we had conversed on other topics. His countenance ran in a moment, but I could see that he was struggling to hide his real feelings from me. Q, she’s so-so,” he replied at length. She'll be glad to see you.’’ In a little while we wont to the house, and when I saw Abby, I was at first struck with the wondrous change that had been wrought in her countenance. She had grown older, to be sure, but then she looked twenty years older than when I had last seen her oP ag It required but a single glance for me to see that there was difficulty somewhere. At length, however, after Abby had got warmed up, she was as kind and genial as of old, and her eyes sparkled with the sane old fire It was new in the forenoon, and they would not listen to my going away that day. Abby assured me that the: room for true friends, and declared that I should not escape her so easily as to come and go on the same day. I ne particular business to call me away, and, as soon as I was assured that I should have a pleasant visit, I agreed to stop. The afternoon 1 spent with Ned along the trout brook, and the evening we spent at homo. Whea [ went to bed I had made up my mind that Ned and his wife were two good souls, and thas they ought to live happily together. And cS I knew that they did not. Awake to every ok and motion, I had seen enough to assure me that they were miserable at times. I could translate every look, and I knew what it mount. I knew all the while how Ned’s thoughts were Tanning. while he was silently wishing that his wie would always be as good as she was then. And Tcould read Abby's every thought while = was wishing that her home might ever be as There was only one di le thing in the to me, and that was the strong stench of phason smoke that pervaded every part of it. ‘ven my chamber smelled so strong of it that I Was forced w sit at the open window some time On the foils akfast, following morning, after bre: I ™ a —_ Ned to the “nals and I resolved um the question that lay upon me with — force.

VOL. X. The whole truth flashed upon me now. “‘ Who were those men that worked for you ber: day ?”’ I asked aS named them and I recognized three of them as men whom I had scen in the store. “ T see it all, Ned.” ‘And don’t you think she is to blame?”’ ‘*Why—you'll pardon me, I know—but I think you gave the first deep cause of trouble. I know Abby’s taste, and I know that tobacco smoke is disgusting to her. Why, Ned, as sure as I am alive, I could not live in a house which smelled 80 strong of tobacco smoke as yours does. Even last night I had to open my window and sit by it half an hour to get a little sweet air. I have been blamed by my friends several times because I would not allow them to smoke in my house. The smoke of a pipe is a sure sickness to my wife, and I will not allow it. Now think of it. Think of your wife—with a delicate frame, & more sensitive organization than yours—déoming into her kitchen and find- ing four great, dirty men, puffing out clouds of nasty, filthy smoke, each whiff of which is enough to sicken her and make her head ache. And more, too; she knows that you are aware of her wishes, for she has told them to you a hundred time. When you are gone, she sees the ipes laying upon her shelf. With an aching head and sickening soul she looks at them, and knows that she must pass through the ordeal again and again. She is not herself—she is but a passion and disgust wrought up by passion and tobacco smoke—and she takes the filthy abomination and breaks ft at once. Now, tell me truly, Ned, isn’t this the result of your pipe?” He looked down upon the barn floor, but gave no answer. ~~ _, | 1 know it is,"’ I resumed, “and I know that if you would drop it you would restore peace.”’ , Stop, stop,”’ he cried. “I can’t give up my Pipe just to suit a woman’s whim. t won't be tied down in that way.’’ * Then why not smoke out of doors?”’ “Suppose it rains? And then what shall I do re fh “Why, if you must smoke in winter, let your tobacco smoke go where you make all wig eda smoke go. Stick your head into tho fireplace and smoke up the chimney.” Ned fairly smiled. + Dm in earnest,’ I added; “for I can as- sure you your pipe smoke is as offensive to your wife as the smoke of burning wood is to you. But I ask you candidly—how can you expect Abby to be happy when she is continually an- noyed by a nuizance which is absolutely sick- ening to her, and that, too, when it could be all remedied simply by your taking your pipe out of doors or into the Woodhouse? “And cer- tainly you cannot expect a person to be pleas- ant when they are continually unhappy. Now mark me, Ned, I don’t mean to say that you are alone in the wrong, but I ask you—Do you love Abby well enough to foregoa little comfort of an evil habit for her real good ?”” Ned hesitated. He twice made up his mouth to speak before he made out. “Tea pipe offensive to your wife ?”’ he asked. “Not only offensive, but it is absolutely in- jarious. She cannot be in a room where an old pipe ia nace smoked five minutes without a eadache. [used to smoke, but at length be- came so digusted with the stench which per- vaded my house, and moreover I found that my wife was so opposed to it, that I gave it up Her mere fussing about the smoke would never have moved me had I not been assured that she was really annoyed by it. And surely, I thought, if my wife must stay in the house ne all the time, and if her place of duty must be there confined, I will not, to ratify a mere whun, make her suffer. I used, after that, to smoke out of doors, but it was not always convenient, and I gradually gave it up.’’ Just at this moment one of the neighbors came in, and our conversation stopped. I remained to dinner, and promised to call on them again before I left town. f did so at the expiration of a week. I then walked out to Ned’s place, and got there just after dinner, and I found him on the chopping- block, smoking. “Ha! Ned,” I uttered, “have you moved your pipe?”’ “Don't saya word,”’ he replied, while a = moisture gathered in hiseyes. “I haven’t smoked in the house since.” “And Abby ?” I said. “T told her that very night that if she’d never 8 @ cross word to me again, I would never low another pipe to be smoked in our house.” “* And what did she say ?”’ “She looked me in the face a moment—I smiled—and then she burst out a crying. She hang around my neck—told me she'd done wrong—begged me to forgive her—and—and— we bad a regular scene. By the powers! she's improved already.”’ * [should think she improved at once,”’ said I. “Oh! I mean in health and looks. She hasn’t had a headache since.”’ When I'went in I found Abby singing as merrily as a lark, When she saw me, she dropped her towel and started towards me. She did not speak one word touching the joyful turn affairs had taken beneath her roof; but I knew what that quick, warm grasp meant, and Icould read the language oft that glistening tear. I went away shortly after that, and in three — from that time I visited L—— again. y first call this time was upon Ned Cruden, and again I found him in his barn. Never moved a friend to greet me more ee “Ab,” I said, as I took hath and, “ then ou ve given up the pipe altogether.’ 7 “Who told you ?”’ he asked. “* You did,”’ I replied. “ Me—I told you?”’ “ Yes, with your breath. It doesn’t amell as it did before.” ** What—and was it so bad ?’”’ Ned asked. “To tell you the truth, Ned, it was; for if there is anything that cap make a repulsive mouth, it is an old, black tobacco pipe.” “Then Abby told the truth. But I’ve done with it now. Haven't touched a pipe for two ears.’ “And don’t you feel better?” “Don’t I? T'd like to see the man that could hire me to go at it again.” We went up to the house, and the first look told the story. The room was clean and sweet, the walls white, and the hearth was free from the filth of tobacco spit. And Abby—ah, she was Abby once more—Abby of old—happy and joyous, and true as steel. And as I sat and gazed upon the happy couple, I pondered upon that strange element in human nature whict-will make misery and discord more and more, —— than gs one degree to simple reason. But the good dame’s merry voice soon dispelled my deep thought, and [ was content to know thatin that home, at least. the demon of discord had been exer- cised by a very little spirit of reason.— Pag of our Union.
