True love is not tho only steam that docs not ru'n smooth ; there is matrimony. The trifles of rnarricu lite ntje ns plentiful, as bitter, as empty in the end as muse 01 counsuip. ouu.s;. h.vj end in real clouds, but generally they come and go like the morning fo from nowhere to nowhere leaving everything the same, only apparently brighter by contrast. But old John Corson, the engineer, after a little bout with Mary, his wife, tried his best to believe that his matri monial troubles were direst, blackest woes, and labored to convince himself that he bud not only drawn a blank in the lottery of life, for that would only have been urputivo unlinppitiess, but that his luck bad brought him a living, breathing, stubborn thing that was a thousand tiroes worse than nothing at all. lint it wouldn't have done for nny one to have agreed with John in these dire itoughts. It would oot have been pleasaut or safe. It was enough that be should think badly of his wile ; and even no couia not suck io mese thoughts, for ever and anon it struck him that he was a great fool for tryii;g to make himself so miserable, arid that ho didn't believe that Mary was so bad after all. And thoughts of other days came into his mind j how she had boruo with bis frailties; how devoted sho was to thuir humble home, and how sho had watched beside him, days and rii'.i without rest, when be had the fever and he wouldn't get down ngain, until late iu tho night, and who could tell what might uot happen in tho mean time? So John's heart wasn't light, believe me. Gentle, beartful thoughts of homo would come to him - despite everything, and o til jr served to make him more wretched, for ho was bound to be mis erable, and sneered nt evory good thought about his wife, and imputed every kindly action of t!ie p.ist to some base motive.

And, closing his lips tightly together, be turned away again from tho cottage mill his wile and his child, and went on with quick, sturdy strides, to lake hi Haiti at tho aUtiou. It was au up-luiu Altogether he bad .sncreeikd in design perfectly, and was nb.tot wretched ns ho could have wished he.

J'ut nficr awhile, when thcio weu no more) likelihood ol his couiicg nack, she gifts up her notions of independ ence", and throwing herself down at tho child's crib (die cried aloud.

To cultivate love at home requirrs moro skill, patience, and perscvorance than many of us really possess. 13y skill I mean to be able at all times and under all circumstances to mako home cheerful and happy. Often wo meet with trials and vexations in our daily walk through life, and on our return home, nftcr baviug endured tbe fntigue and disappointments of our vocations, it requires all tho ingenuity that we arc capable of exercising to ctiablo us to appear in a contented frame of mind, so that those about us will not feel that in place of bringing pleasuro we cast a shadow over tho household, l'uticnt at all times with those around ut, never to indulge in unpleasant feelings even if everything docs not move along ns smoothly 113 wo would desire. How many homes are rendered unhappy wheu n little patience would work wonders, if I may so speak. Persevere in all things ; surmount every diflioulty that appears to impede our progress, and when those obsticlcs are passed we can look backward to them as so many stepping-stones which lead us onward in our path of social duty. Parents should endeavour to install useful knowledge into the minds of children ; not to be select and unsocial at their own fire- s:uea una the hie ol every company they enter. If tiiey buvo not mciital stores sutiieieut for both, lot them pro vide first for their evn household. It is a poor maxim for parents or children to reserve their social charms for com panions abroad and retain thoir dullness for home. It is better that all should be mndo happy at home than for them to seek enjoyment anions stranicr3 How many men utter careless words to their wives and sisters which seem trifling at first 1 Such things cast their shadows over the hitherto happy throng. Mothers speak haish or impatient to their children. Need wo bo surprised if the chilJ prefers the freedom of the street to its home? Friends speak un kindly to each other, a-id, when it is too late, mourn over thur.2 ba'dy words which have caused an impassible barrier to spriog'up between t'.icm. Men, iti- tte.id of letting so mniy unkind word? pass their hps, should remember that it is not only at homo nor in their places of business that kind words should be uiketij it should bo everywhere How much good a kind word has donol Many n poor outcast has been reclaimed by kindness. It nhould toach us to be kind and courteous to all. Lot us be actuated by geuuMio love iu all our undertakings toward our follow beings.

The accuracy of tho following may be relied upon in all its particulars. Two ladies, sisters, had been for several days in attendiinco upon their brother, who wits ill of a common sore throat severe and protracted, but not considered as attended with any danger. At the same time, one of them had borrowed a watch from a female friend, in con sequence of her own being under repair. Tho watch was ooo to which particular valuo was attached, oo account of family nts 'ciatic as ; and some anxiety was expressed that it might uot meet with any injury. The sisters were sleeping together, in a room communicating with thnt of their brother, whou tho elder of them awoke in n state of great agitation ; and having sroiwed the other, told her that sho had had n frightful drenm. "I dreamt," she said, "that Mary's watch had stopped, and that, when I told you of tho circumstance, you re plied, 'Much worse than that has hap pouod, for James' breath has stopped also !' "naming their brother who was ill. To quiet her agitation, the younger sister immediately got up and found the brother sleeping quietly, and tho watch which bad carefully been put up in a drawer, going correctly. The following night tho very same dreamed occurred, followed by similar agitation, which was again composed in tho same manner; tho brother being again found in a quiet sleep and tho watch coins well. U.i the following morning, soon after tho family breakfusted, one of the sisters was Bitting by her brother, while another was writing a note in tho adjoining room. When ror ncte was ready for being sealed, sha was proceeding to take out for this purpose tho watch alluded to, which bad been put by in her writing desk, when sho was as t inished to fiud it had stopped ; and at tha same instant she beard a scream of uitecso distress from her sister in the other room. Their brother, who had still boon considered as going on favor ably, had been seized with a sudden fit ol buffosiiiun, and bad just breathed bis last. D 0 A N O K.
