however, I am glad you changed your mind. 
Whom did you marry; any one 1 knew ? ■” 
“No, Milly, I married Cora Brand, a Michi¬ 
gan girl, She will be delighted to see a friend 
of mine: she has been very lonely since we 
“I am mortified and ashamed, Milly, that you 
should have witnessed anything like this iu our 
house,” she said. 
I was fully determined now that she should go; 
so i bustled around cheerfully, assisting with 
the work, and very soon we were on the road. 
We rode on a mile or two in silence, and I 
turned to make some observation to Cora. She 
had taken off her hat. and was leaning back in 
the carriage, gazing up at the blue sky, and 
soft, fleecy clouds floating lazily along. 
Her face was pale, and the shadows in her 
eyes deeper and darker. 
“Cora!” I said; and the words leaped right 
out of my heart; “ can't I help you in your 
trouble? I wish I could say or do something to 
make you happier. 1 ’ 
The tears sprang into her eyes. 
“ Dear Milly, your society is the only comfort 
I have, and believe me your love is all that 
keeps me from utter despair. I am very un- 
Otm generous neighbor, over the way, 
Brings us something every day ; 
We know tils whistle, when heard at night 
Thro’ the driving storm, or moon’s pale light, 
We look at each oilier, and stop 10 say, 
That’s our neighbor over the way. 
Our neighbor is neither young nor old, 
His age to us he never has told, 
But seems so merry, brisk, and free, 
And uses no glasses to help him see, 
We’re half inclined to think it wise 
To call our neighbor forty-five. 
In summer, he brought us berries sweet, 
Enough to give ns all a treat. 
In Autumn, he came with pockets filled, 
And on the table the contents spilled; 
The shag-bark walnuts rolled around, 
So under the table onc-balf we found. 
He brings the papers, and takes them out 
Of his great coat pocket, thick and stout; 
And ’tis not strange, before he's through 
If candy and flagroot come to View; 
He laughs, and speaks of rain and wet, 
And still declares, “ I’ve pockets to let” 
So we advise some miserly men 
To follow our generous neighbor's plan 
And borrow a coat of neighbor “ L. ’’ 
If he’s got one to lei or sell, 
And do good acts, and live and thrive, 
And never grow older than “forty-five."

1 was, und the bright intieipatious I bad of the 
future, it seems as if my heart would break. 
31 y married life has been a bitter disappoint¬ 
ment. I know T have done wrong, but if I 
should do ever so w ell now it would he of no 
use. Allen will never be to tne what he has 
been in times past; we have gone too far apart 
ever to dream of happiness again.” 
She was weeping bitterly now. 
“Don’t say that, Cora; don’t loose all hope 
and trust in the future. It looks cheerless to 
you now, but don't despair. You fancy your 
husband's love for you has died out. but you 
are mistaken; it is only hidden for a season by 
pride and selfishness; and sometime, when you 
come to see with a clear vision, and have found 
the only road that leads to true happiness, it will 
come again to brighten your pathway. Be hope¬ 
ful, bo brave, dear Cora. Do not be discouraged 
if Allen fails to commend you for any improve¬ 
ment you may make or success you may meet 
with. Be patient! Thousands of women have 
lived and died unappreciated. It is a gad life, 
but, after all the approval of one’s own con¬ 
science Is worth more than the praise of men. 
I know how a woman's heart hungers and 
thirsts for words of approbation from those we 
love; but. we must not ‘weary in well doing,’ 
must not faint nor falter by the way because 
they are withheld. There’s a reward for us in 
the world that sets this right.” 
We did not drive far—neither were in a mood J 
to enjoy fully the beauty of the day, so 1 turned 
our horse’s head homeward. I set Cora down I 
at the little white gate. 
“Pray for me, Milly,” she said, as she held 
my hand at parting, and there was a world of 
entreaty in eye and voice. “ God help me, I 
will do the right.” 
The days glided on through sultry August 
into September. I will not weary you, my 
reader, with a detail of the changes wrought 
in Allen Ellsworth’s house In those six weeks. 
Cora tolled patiently and perseveringly, seeking 
constantly Divine assistance, and with that she 
could not fail. But I saw with sorrow and in¬ 
dignation that her husband seemed Indifferent 
as ever. 1 could see how she longed for a 
return of the old tenderness, or at least a word 
of encouragement. lie did not find so much 
fault as formerly—he could not. Cora bud im¬ 
proved wonderfully in every respect, but he did 
not seem to notice the pains >he took to please 
him—the care she manifested for his comfort, 1 
was sitting on the west porch one line morning 
with my sewing, thinking of all this. 
“ His conduct is unnatural and inexplicable,” 
I thought; and 1 was so indignant that I thought 
aloud. “Never mind, I’ll wake him up one of 
these days if I have ft chance.” 
I had not long to wait for one. Iu less than 
half an hour I saw him coining in at the gate, 
lie sauntered slowly up the walk, answering my 
“good morning’ 1 with a smile and bend of the 
head; and sitting down on the step below me, 
took off his straw hat, and ran his lingers care-

A RELlGiOCd writer recently spoke of an

A Physician examining a student as to lii.s 
progress, asked him— 1 “Should a man fall into a 
well forty feet deep, and strike his head against 
one of the tools with which he had been digging, 
what, would be your course if called in as a sur¬ 
geon ? ” The student replied *— “ I should advise 
them to let the man lie, and till up the well." 
Bishop Moiu.ky was fond of a joke. Once, 
when the footman was Ollt of the Way, lie or¬ 
dered the coachman to fetch some water from 
the well, to which the coachman made a grum¬ 
bling objection that his business was to drive, 
not to run errands. “ Well, then,” said Morley, 
“ bring out the coach and four, set the pitcher 
inside and drive to the well,” a service which 
was several times repeated, to the great amuse¬ 
ment of almost the entire village. 
A lady teaching her little daughter, four 
years old, pointed to something in the book, 
and asked “ What is that, my dear?” "Why, 
don’t you know?” Inquired the child. “Yes,” 
said the mother; “hut I wish to find out if you 
know.” “ Well,” responded the little miss, 
“ 1 do know.” “Tell lne then, if you please.” 
said the lady. “Why, no," insisted the little one, 
with an arch look, “ You know what it is, and 
1 know what it is, and there is no need of saying 
anything more about it.”
