She. had droopped a glove which a gentleman had lifted from the floor and placed in her hand. Sir. Archer, the lady's husband, saw the little act of courtesy, and uoticed its reward. He would have given almost anything for justsu'eh-a musical \Thank you!\—fur-as.'bright a franco as she had thrown upon a stranger. Once, tone and glances litre those had been his reward for any littlo attentions ho might happen, tii offer; now, all tho small courtesies of life were withdrawn, and no matter what the act or iff duality, his wife received it «ith a eo!d indifference, singularly i u eun- tra»t with her manner toward other muu. Was it a defect of luvo? Did Mrs. Archer really think more highly of other m'n, who showed her polite attentions, than she did of her husband! Some- times a chafed feeling of iu.palieucc— sometimes of jealousy—and .'ometimesof mournful regret of sunnier days in tie- far away past, would trouble the husband »nrely. But these were pressed aside:, or suffered to die for lack of aliment, and the dull, cold routine of every day life permitted to hive its usual course. On the n va-' in referred to ahovc, Mr. Archer anl his wife were \pending an evening at the kou*a of a friend, where company had been invited. For days previously, the countenance of Mrs. Archer had word its usual dead calm, its iinpertiirhed placidity—its matter of course aspect. She had talked with her husband in a kind of dead-level tone and manner on all subject that happened to come up, whether at first or third impor- tance-. Or, if interest happened to rise into au} thing approaching pnthu'<iu*m 1 it was accompanied by something of sharp- ness that left on the mind of Mr. Archer an uncomfortable feeling, as if he were blamed for something. And this hail been tho wife's aspect even after she had donned her company attire, and u p to the moment when she made her appearance among the guests of the friend to whoso house she brought, tied up as were in a closely compacted bundle, her smiles and courtesies for public dispensation. As he had noticed on many previous occasions, so did Mr. Archer notice on this, the remarkable difference between, his wife's hoinc and company manners— between her treatment of her husband, and her treatment of other gentlemen who happened to outer into conversation with her, or offer any polite attention.— Tho answer to their words always went forth from lips wreathed with smiles, and eyes sparkling with pleasure; to his words, from a cold placid mouth, and with half indifferent or averted glances. And yet, Mrs. Archer was a faithful wife- in all hor dutiful relation ; and in heart a loving wife to her husband. If smiles did not play in sunny circles over her countenance, as in former times, she had made the household smile with order and comfort, arraigned and secured by her ever busy hands. Her thoughts wcro no wandering truants to othcrand forbid- den fields, but home-guests; nor were they busy for herself, but for the hus- band anil children in whom her own lifo was bound'up. It was not that love for •fcv liufsbaiid had grown dull—answering .tenance. her; They were dull and spiritless, A Ou the evening referred to, tin eon- littio while tliey lingered upon her, mid trast,between the manner of his wife to then moved slowly Mvay, as if seekiug himself and to other men, who showed souio ubject pleasauter to look upou.— her little attention-i was felt with more For some time Mrs..

Stepping forward from wwr e he stood talking with a lady, lie lifted it from the floor, and placed it in her hand. Ills eyes were li>.ed-.upon her Countenauce, but she did not in much as return his look, nor make the slighte-t acknowledgment, merely re- ceiving the handerehief with a quiet iu- diror\ii'-' in striking contrast with the w ,y iu which she had taken the glove from another's hand. Mr, Archer was disappointed. A lady to whom Mrs. Archer had been introduced t: ..t evening, and who waa a stranger to both herself and husband, oat by bj.r side. They had I con conversing with sjmc animation; and were iutetvsr- ed iu each other. This Kdy was --'truck by the im.rl:cd dineret ce with which Mrs. A filler received 'be*c two slight at- tentions from different'gentlemen. She l.ad observed the polite response made when the gloves was nanded to its owner, and was pleased with tho graceful mannci- of her new acquaintance. The cold, al- most repulsive way iu which she accept- ed the handkerchief was therefore noticed the more distietly. She saw that the in- dividual who presented it, was disap- pointed if n'ot hurt./ Her interference was natural. \ The gentleman is no favorite of yours,\ she remarked. \What gentleman?'' JMrs. Archer looked curiou*. \ lie who lifted your handkerchief just now.\ \ Why do you think so?\ There was a slightly amused expression in the cor- ners of Mrs. Archer's mouth. '• You treated him very coldly, almost •rudely, I thought — pardon me for saying so—quite differently from the way in which you treated the gentleman who picked up you glove, a few minutes ago.\ A smile spread over the coimtenaiise of Mrs. Archer- \Oh he's only my husband!\ she made answer. \ The one who lifted the glove?\ \ No—the one who gave me my hand- kerchief.\ \ Only your husband!\ The lady spoke in a tone that Mrs- Archer eould not l\>lp feeling as a re- buke. \ lie's my husband,\ she sail, \ and don't csnect me to be particula-ly cere monious. He picked up my handker- chief as a thing of course. Tho other was a mere acquaintance—^-half a stran- ger, in fact—and a more formal ackriowl- , edgment of bis polite attention could not have boon omitted without rudeness.\ \I'm afraid,\ remarked the lady, guardedly sons not to give offence, \that some of us are scarcely just to our hus- bands in this matter of exterior courtesy., I know that I have not been, and a leeson I once received will never be forgotten.\ Watching fur a good opportunity, tvlm she knew her husband was near her, and could 1 not help noticing the fact, •ho purposely disarranged a light scarf that was laid over hor shoulders. In- timtly he stopped forward, and drew it into place. Thank you,\ she said, quickly, a smilo on hor lip and a pleasant light i-i htr eye. They were not counterfeit, but real; for Mrs. Archer truly loved her husband, and wa? pleased with any little attention at home or abroad'. 1? it he be big \ only her husband,\ *ho hail like far too many others, on.ittod the form ot acknowledgment, be ause ho must know that the fr.-nnp wis in her heart. What a cha..ge ca.no instantly into her husband'-; faop ! What a look of pleased surprise almost grateful in its CK- prcB'iinn ! Verily, she had b;i reward! How tenderly he leaned towards her, and what a new meaning was in bis tone a'. lie remarked on some topic of the hour. And did not her heart leap up at those signs of tho affection that was in bis heart, still warm and lover-like—still pleased with tokens of kindness, aud ready t o reward then! twonty fold. The time seemed long to Mrs. Archer, that they were required by etiquette to roniain ; for she desired to be alone with h?r husband. Not ii.jch was said by either, as they walked homo that nitrht; but the hatul of Mrs. Archer clung with a closer pressure th-ji usual to the arm of her husband—and tho arm hold the hand with a returning pressure firmly against a heart that beat quicker pulsa- tions.

EVIDENCE TPON EVIDENCE.—An ex- change says that Mr. came home late oilo night from the \ meeting,\ and was .met a t tho door by Lis indignant spouse with the usual reprimand oil such occa- sions—the same probably used by Mrs. Noah wlon her husband stayed late at the vintage: \Pretty t'mie of Night, Mr. , for you to come' home—pretty time, three o'clock in the morning; you, a respecta- ble man in the community, and the fath- er of a family.\ \ Tisn't three —its only one, I hoard it strike ; Council always sits till one o'clock,\ \ My soul!

FORBEARANCE.—It is not so great a matter to live lovingly with.good latured A Goon COKBOIEKCE.-^-A good con- science is to tho soul what hoalth is to tho body; it preserves a constant ease and serenity within us, and more than countervails all calamities and afflictions whieh can befall us.

Turning around, Davy very formally tioiiarked: \I'll bo linngRd, Major, if I whose pardon to ask yours, or thomon. key's,\ THE WIPE.—Some one offers tho fol- lowing:-*-\ How many men ai*o aware that their position depends upou the place which society assigns to the wife. If sho makes her husband's home cheerful arid respectable, by her intelligence, graces and virtues—indeed a pleasant place to visit and to call—he receives tho.bgnofit socially, of her dignity and good manners. Thus a man may marry into a good social position, or ho may marry himself out of social conventional society. It matters less what the refinement of the husband may be, or the want thereof if the wife posses- ses those qualities of head and mind that light u p tho home with cheerfulness, : graee and comfort. In a larger sense than; tho common idea, is home tho castle snd pro- tection of reputation, aiiilth*. tost of posi- tion.\ TAKING IT iN Ti-it.v.—A clerk was as- sisting a clergyman to ro'.e he'o-- the * know The eyes of Mrs. Archer turned, by a iiumble and meek, persons; bn'. he that I service commenced, and said to him: kind of instiLct, towards her husband.—' can dp so with tho immoral, the willful and He was standiug near a brilliant gas lamp, | ignorant, the peevish and perverse, ho the light of which was falling clearly ou ] only hath true charity; always, remem- his face.
