The Wife.
Ytie tretksures of the deep are not ao prccioun
A are the concealed comfort of a uiaiT
Locked np in woman'a lore. I went the air

I havejoften had occasion to'remark
the fortitude with which women sus
tain the most overwhelming reverses of
fortune. Those disasters which break
down the spirit of a man, and pros
trate him in the dust, seem to call
forth all the energies of the softer sex,
and give such intrepidity and eleva
tion to the,.character, that at tjmes it
approaches to sublimity. Nothing can
be more touching than to behold a soft
and tender female, who had been all
weakness and dependence, and alive to
every trivial roughness, while treading
the prosperous paths of life, suddenly
rising in mental force to be the com
forter and support'of her husband un
der misfortune, and abiding, with un
shrinking firmness, the bitterest blasts
of adversity.
As the vine, which has long twined
its graceful foliage aoout the oak, and
has been lifted by it into sunshine, will,
when the hardy plant is nttcd by the
how, beats lightly. in that bosom, will
be weighed down, like mine, by the
cares and miseries of the world.
At length he came to me one day,
and related his whole situation in atone
of the deepest despair. When I heard
him through I inquired, 'Does your
wife know all this ?' At the question
he burst into an agony of teajrs. 'For
God's sake !' cried he, 'if you: have any
pity on me, don't mention m wife ; it
is the thought of her. that drives meal
most to madness !'
The disclosure may be mortifying; but
then it is a single misery, and soon ov
er; whereas you otherwise suffer it, in
anticipation, every hour in the day.
It is not poverty as much as pretence,

caressing tendrils, and bind up its
shattered boughs; so is it beautifully
ordered by Frovidence, that woman,
who is the mere dependent and orna
ment of man in his happier hours,
should be his stay and solace when
smitten with sudden calamity; winding
herself into the rugged recesses of his
nature, tenderly supporting the droop
ing head, and binding up the broken
heart.
I was once congratulating a friend,
who had around him a blooming fami
ly,, knit'togethcr in the strongest af
fection. 'I can wish you no better lot,'
said he, with enthusiasm, 'than to have
a wife and children. If you are pros-
perous, they are to snare your pros
perity; if otherwise, they are to com
fort you.' And, indeed, I have ob
served that p, married man falling into
misfortune is more apt to retrieve his
situation in the world than a single
one; partly because he is more stimu
lated to exertion by the necessities of
the helpless and beloved beings who
depend on him for subsistence ; but
chiefly because his spirits are soothed
and relieved by domestic endearments,
and his self-respect kept alive'by find

is the monarch. Whereas a single man
is. apt to run to waste and self-neglect;
to fancy himself lonely and abandoned,
and his heart to fall to ruin like some
deserted mansion, for want of an inhabitant.
' hose observations call to mind a
little', domestic story, of which I was
once a witness. My intimate friend,
Leslie, had married a beautiful and ac
complished girl, who had been brought
up in the midst of fashionable life.
She had, it is true, no fortune, but
that of my friend was ample ; and he
delighted in the anticipation of indulg
ing her in every elegant pursuit, and
administering to those delicate tastes
and fancies that spread a kind of witch
ery about the sex.
,'IIer life,' said he, 'shall.be like
fairy tale.'
The very difference in their charac
ters produced an harmonious combina
tion: he was of a romantic and some
what serious cast; she was all life and
dadness. I have often noticed the

When leaning on his arm, her slender

seemed to call forth a flush of triumph

as if he doted on his lovely burden for

by a sudden succession of disasters it
was swept from him, and he found him
self reduced almost to penury. For a
time he kept his situation to himself,
and went about with a haggard coun

life was but a protracted ajronv. and
what rendered it more insupportable
was the necessity of keeping up a smile
in the presence of his wife; for he could
not bring himself to overwhelm her
with the news. She saw, however, with
the quick eyes of anection, that all
was not well with him. She marked
his altered looks and stifled sighs, and
was not to be deceived by his sickly
and vapid attempts at cheerfulness.
She tasked all her sprightly powers
and tender blandishments to win him
