TUB NEFLECTED WIFE. !.: BY MARY V. OILIKS. , "Shall you be late to-night!" Thia was ask etl iu a low voice by a very pale, but. very sweet young creature, as she parted. Irom her husband in tho street. "I do not know that I shall;" he replied somewhat coldlytas replactnghis cigar between his lips, turned away. There was carelessness rather than unkindcess in his manner, and she looked after him more in sorrow than reroach. Taking the hand of her little boy she slowly bont her steps homeward, with that drooping efthekead which bespeaks sadness of the heart. It was Saturday night: she had been marketing, and the little purchases were con tained in.a basket which iiung on her ami. Oa reaching home, the very uppermost floor of a house in a poor but decent neighborhood, she rousod the fire, seated l'hilip, her little son, beside it, gave him a piece of bread and butter for his supper, aud began to busy herself in puttinjr away the few necessaries Rhe had LouarhtJ Bv the time this wasdone, the droop ing bead of little Philip told her he was ready for his pillow. How .tenderly was he taken to his lonely mother's lap his pretty face wash ed his bright hair brushed, and he arrayed in his snow bedgown.i ' l'ressecl to her bosom she warmed his little feet, her fond band re- turninir W them affain from the fire, to which alio every now and tlien held her open palm.thon pressing tho soft fbot,she. kissed it playfully and provoked the laughter so sweet to a mother's earl These .were Philip's charming loesolis,; thus were gentleness and love awakened .j in hisinfatitspiritby his cnpablo.butiininstrnot ed, unassisted mother. How full' of meaning was his smile how tull ot animation 1 ,111a when kneeling in her lap, joined ' his little hands, and bade hiin ask his Heavenly Father to bless his earthly parent, how sympathe tically ho caught the sweetly genoiis loon tne calm and holy tomrof his instrnctress. When his htth) prayer was said, he flung his "arm about her neck aiid oheck ; they murmured to gether the lulling song which concludod this Ijt'tle drama; for his eyes slowly closed aml,tho srrtrle softly nassed ironi his" face, and then ho was gently consigned to nis snug ana snowy bed.. ' ' , .- t,--i; .- ' ., So far nil was sweat; would it might bo said all was calm; but the aching void in Susan's heart was not calmed, it wasratner a craving for that mental and social aliment which is necessary to every breast, and cannot long be h,;.-ilthilv denied to any. , The more energetic spirits seek such associationsor stimulant as chance presents them ( the gentler submit aod aiiffur often rterish-in silence. : ' ; Susan put a" little fuel softly on the fire, trimmed her candler and sat down with the lonely womaaV Wrlpmiion, beT workbasket.-?-A deep sigh stole from her bosom. Still the careless needle was plied. Now and then she paused rt Was to wipe away the tear loot coaW gather oa her lashes. She was just two-and-twenty, and bad boon four pars inarrkid, during all of which time, Uh the brief excep tion of a few week previous to their settlement in town she had, thus been - loft night; ' JTERMS- ' ' iTI&WSf Wd'LdlXAltS UJ J.-,. ) ' ; ,i v 1853 111" nigKViia Iopelinesi:ulp"lMoi?rU her htu KonT' wm an hohest- in'dustnous than,' tvith a hundred good qualities; sober and solicitous of securing to his uiraiiy au tne eomio u.s meaas afforded, he brought , Lis weekly , earn in ga, with a very small reservation for somo ""'' .!.. l.:..ir 'l,ia oiitn nnil ruling inumgeuces iur uimu, ",. wfth tha'iitmost trust in her rnanascnienl and economy left Uiem to lier disposals Butwbile thna trusting and liberal) he seemed to consi der ibat Jte acquitted himself oall4hat' Susan might demand of him.. .Wl"Ie he sought fin-, hmvament forhimselt ft hover occurred to him that it was her enrjarrififl irotoW he bar equal aavanuige,s 1 wuiie no wuih uioju:iuju"s" of thought with other minds he novjer, reflect ed on the utter privation ot such communion hoihad entailed pn ', her. , lie had taken her from the home,' of her father, a small farmer, where her mother, a pains-taking woman had brought up Susan and several brothers and sis ters, for their station remarkably 'welt. ,'Hor father's heart was one flowiliir with the milk of human kiudness; and thus aided by tho cheer-J ful spirits of their cherwhed children, a moral sunshine had ever lighted up that lowly home, and given to it a thousaud claims upon tier love and memory. At njomenjts Suan wauld look back on the briej time that naa uecn em ployed to woo her from it as a dream; the worshipped words of love the promises of de votion of endeavors for her happiuess the mighty city 111 wlneu sue was to aweiiwiucii now appeared to her a maze of mud and stoiie, 411-'iclmnffod for tba dufey-llcldar Jiilli-Jhefc sweet breath and brightatmostphere) had all tended to an ondefinable disappointment; yet, in tho ignoranco of hor heart, she cpuldscaree ly have stated of what she had to complaint She loved her husband: she was proud of his superior abilities; and made no mean estimate of his high moral character,, umhibased in the slightest degree, by the gross vices, which, secluded as was her life, she could not but perceive, marked many around her, subjecting their wives to brutality and privation,. Com pared with sueh ofleueo, she persuaded herself that l'hilip's neglect was a very ugutanu veni al fault, and blaming hersolf for feeling it so much. But Susan was one of those flowers of humanitv that would have anplv repaid culti- vation,and that needed the sunshine of sympa thetic kindness, the art of the social atmosphere, to keep them in health and life, Daily.food was icarcely more necessary for her physical nature than the interchange of thought and kiudHnees was to her spiritual nature; all this her husband's habits, and the unsociable plans of life in England, and especially in London, denied hen. It is true, except morally, she was uncultivated, bat had talent nd temperance that would soon have repaid a little kindly care. . Too timid, too ignorant to plead hor own cause, or urge her claims to him who had precluded appeal to others, sheuncomplaiuing ly lived on without change, without stimulus or excitement; shut up within the four walls of her humble home, walking unrelieved the dull unvarying round of her domestic duties- with her spirit full of capabilities unexplored aud nncipaadcd. , She grew norvous aud hectic her appetite and spirits failed, her frame was ted, while, quiet, and unrepining, almost un couscious of her maladyt or its cause, cons'.lmp tiou was rapidiy developed.. Shi) was deemed delicate; .medical advjco and care essayed, while none guessed the quick, feeling that flow ed beneath the quiet bearing of that subdued, decayiiig'womau ; it wore the chiinnel tlutotigh which it made its' secret way, but seetned to brighten tho spirit it was soon to extinguish, i Susan, after a time, felt that she was passing through thq Valley of the Shadow of Death. This' conviction did not depress her energies it awakened them. She had communed with her own meek heart, lifted it to her ' Maker, and remembered with consolation that it is said "those also serve who only stand aud wait," She struggled 011 from day to day iu the per formance of her duties'amid many privations, the worst of all privation, that of .mental ile voloponic'nt and ociiil cheor, yet he had a hWWalU conscious account, in lier own iiean.anuTior-s cere and' unassisted oadeavor had no doiiot a register amid the higher achievements of more favored mi,ij,ds- AYitli Uia.certoiuty that she was not so Ioii for this scene, she redo.ublod her exertions to pnt her little household" into order. She repaired and rnade clothes ftr tlie child, and she laid them away, embalmed with teai-s. .In tho same manner the needle toiled for her husband, aud the savings which her humility effected were employed to' purchase him sundry little comforts. 4 These will keep hiin warm when I am cold, she thought; "he will little think that while ho will forgot mo, for better company, 'tis true my only happiness was w rumomuci unu, a that I shall scarcely ba morg solitary in the grave to which I am going, than I have been iu tho home to whica ne orougnt me. Sometimes a little ink bottle was taken from the nianfle shelf, aud a sheet of paper from her little table-drawer, and thon, with effort a few lines were traced, and -the pf pel hidden carefully away, as if she had committed a crime. One night she made more endeavors ot" this kiud than usual, and the struggling, unassisted spirit of juUlligenee. waa burning in her bright hazel cyVand glowing ou hot !.; taful cheok. vhen she was StaHled bf an unu sual noise. .
