Hhoprwhcro ho had worked hard all

and out of spirits. : ' ' '
"A Hmiling wife and a cheerful home

drew to himself, as ho turned his eyes
from tho clouded faco of Mrs. hv
and sat down witli knitted brows and
mood' awtjcct. :
Not a -word was . spoken bv cither :
jirs. jjco was j getting supper and she
moved about with a wcarv step. .
"IT T . . '
'tome," she said at last, with a
suie gianco at her liusianl. -
w a '
Andrew aroso and went to tho table.
Ho was tempted to speak an anirrv
word, but controlled himself and kept
nui-uu, iv cou ill liutl HO iauit WllU
the chop, nor tho home-made bread.
nor the fmrant tea. Jlioy would
have cheered his inward man if there
had been a gleam of sunshino on tho
faco of his wife. Ho noticed sho did
not cat.
'Aro you not well. Man- ?"
Theso words wero on his lips : but
ho did not utter them, for tho faco of
nis wuo looked so rcpcllant tmt ha
feared an irribitint' rcnlv.
n f -
And so, in moody silence, the twain
si.t together until Andrew had finished
his supper. .
As he pushed his chair back his
wife aroo and commenced clearing off
the bible.
'Tina is purgatory?" said Io to
himself, as he'commcnccd walking the
floor of their little breakfast room, with
Ins bands thrust into Ins trowscr
iMickets and hU chin almost touching
his breast.
After removing and taking tilings
into the kitchen, Mrs. Leo spread a
green cover over the table, ami plac
ing a fresh-trimmed lamp thereon,
went out and shut the door after her.
leaving her husland alone with his nn-
pleanant feelings. He took a long,
deep breath as sho did so, paused in
Ins walk, stood still for a few moment.
and then drawing a paper from his
pocket, sat down by tho table, opened
the sheet anil commenced reading.
Singularly enough, the words ujsjn
which his eyes rested wero "Praise
vutir wife-." They rather tended to
merca? the disturbance of mind from
w hich he was suffering.
'I should like to find some oecsaion
for pnuViing mine." How ouickly his
thoughts expressed tluit ill-natured
sentiment! llut his eyes were on tlie
paper Ik? fore him and he rend on:
'l'miso your wife, man; for pity's
sake, give her a littles encouragement.
It won't hurt her."
Andrew Lee raised hi.i eyea from tlie
paper and muttered, "Oh ye s, that's
nil very well praise is cheap enough,
but praiso her for what? i or being
sullen and making her homo tho most
disagreeable place m the world ?" His
eyes fell again to tho jiaper.
SSho has made vour home comforta
ble, your heart bright and shining,
your ftKMl r.;rreeable; for pity's sake
tell her you Uiank her, if nothing more.
She don't expect it. It will make her
eyes wider tlmn they havcleen for ten
years; but it will do her good for all
that, and you to."
- It seemed to Andrew as if this sen
tence was written expreasly for him
aun just xor tms occasion, it was a
complete answer to his question.
" Praise her for what!" and he felt it
also a lebnke. Ho read 'no further.
for thoughts came too busy, and in a
new direction. Memoir was convinc
ing him of injustice to his wife. She
had alwa.vs made her home as comfort
able for him as she could mako it, and
had ho offered tho light return of praiso
or commentation ? Had ho ever told
her of the satisfaction he had known
0- the comfort ho had experienced ?
Ho 0s JJt ablo lo io?all tho time or
occasion. As ho thought thus Mrs.
Leo camo in lrom tho kitchen, nd
taking her work basket from tho closet.
placed it on tho table, and sitting down
without speaking, began to Bbv. Mr.
Leo glanced almost stealthily fit the
work in her hands and saw that it was
tho lwsom of a shirt, which sho was
stitching neatly.. He knew that it was
for him sho was at work.
"Praiso ; v'onr wife' Theso words
wero before tho eves of his mind, and
ho could not look away from them.
.But ho was not ready for this yet.. Ho
still felt moody and unforgiving. Tho
expression of his wife's faco lie inter-
Ereted to mean ill-nature, for which
o had no patience. His eyes fell
upon the newspaper that was lying
spread, out before him, and ho read
10 sentence, "A kind cheerful word
spoken in a gloomy house, is tho littlo
rift in tho cloud that lets tlie sunshine
through.'.'
Leo struggled with himself a while
longer.
. His own ill-naturo bad to bo con
quered first, his moody, accusing spir
it had to bo subdued. He thought of
the many things to say, and yet he
feared to say them, lost his wife should
meet his address with a rebuff. At
last leaning toward her, and taking
hold , upon tho shirt bosom fct -which
she was at work, ho said in a voice
that was carefully . modulated ' with
Kindness. : .. .-, ..
"You are doing that work, beauti
fully, Mary."
Mrs. Lee made no reply. But her
husband did not fail to notice that she
lost, almost instantly, that rigid erect
ness with which she had been sitting,
nor that the motion of her needle had
ceased.
"My shirts are made better and
whiter, than those of any other man ill
the shop," said Le, encouraged to go
on.
; "Are they ?" Mrs. Lee's' voico was
low, and had in it a , Blight huskmes.
SEPTEMBER 11, 1869.
She did not turn her face, but her hus
band saw that sho leaned a littlo tow
ards him. Ho had broken tho ico of
reserve, and all was now easy. His
hand was among tho clouds, and a fee
ble ray , was already struggling through
tljo rift it had made.
Ves, Marj, ho' answered ' softly,
"and I've heard it moro than ,onco
what a good wif a Andrew Leo must
have."
' Mrs. Leo turned her face toward hor
husband, There was eomething light
in it and light in her ovo. But there
was something in tho expression of tho
countenance that a littlo puzzled him.
i "Do you thiuk so ?" she asked quite
Boborly.'',''
i "What ftfiuecr ouestion!" eiaenla-
ted Andrew Lee ; starting up and go
ing round to tho sido of the tablo
Where his wife was sitting. "What a
question Mary!" ho repeated, as he
stood before her.
"Do you V" was all she said.
"Yes, darling," was tho warm spok
en answer ; and ho stooped down and
kissed her. "How strango that you
should ask mo such a question!"
"If you would only tell mo so, nw
and then, Andrew, it would do mo
good." Mrs. Leo arose, and, leaning
her faco against tho manly breast of
her husband, stood and wept.
What a strong light broke in on the
mind of Andrew Lee! Ho had never
given his wife even tho small reward
of praise for tho lovincr interest sho
had manifested daily, until doubt of
I us love had entered her soul and made
tho light around her thick dnrknens.
No wonder that her face grew clouded,
and that what ho considered mood:
uess and ill-naturo took possession of
her spirit.
"ou are good and true, Man, rny
own dear wife. I am proud of you,
and mv first desire is for vour happi
ness. Oh, if I could always see your
face m summine, my home would bo
the dearest place on earth.
"How precious to mo aro your
words of love and praise, Andrew,
a sr
Andrew, said Jlrs. ljee, smiling up
through lifer tears into his face. "With
them in my ears, my heart can never
lie m shadow.
How easv had loen tho work of An

across tho cloudy horiaou, aud now
tho bright sumduno was stream in g

ItrsoLvixi AitxsT the Use or To-
HAciti. A eorresjjondent of the Watch
man and Iteilector tells this good story,
with the scene laid in tho Connecticut
valley : "Once upon a time," and this
time was only a couple of years ago,
tho "general association" (ministerial)
met in one of those tobacco raking
towns, and resolutions condemning
the use of toimcco were introduced by
some earnest reformers. A certain
"D. D. ," who both smokes and preaches
well, and (perhaps) against whom tho
resolutions wero intended to play, to
the surprise of all, warmly seconded
tho resolutions, but urged that they
did not go far enough that they did
not reach tho roots of the great "evil.
For if the use of toliaeco was a sin,
then the raising of tolacco was a sin,
and all those who received their sup
port from tho money obtained by tho
raising- of tobacco" wero under tho
same condemnation; it would bo obvi
ously wrong to mako any distinctions.
These suggestions, soberly and quiet
ly made, summarily knocked tho reso
lutions in the head; for were not many
of the best men present engaged in
tobacco culture ? and wore not some
of tho clergymen present receiving
their salary from such culture ? Tho
vote did not pass, and "D. 1." still
smokes and still preaches, and tobacco
still grows in tho valley of the Con
necticut. ..

Bm&sch, the pupil and rival of Lep-

has lately been rendered into Jngiwn
by Mr; Jf. P. Lesley, makbg use of tho
German version: It is the story of a
peasant's love, written in tho time of
Seostris for a voung prince, the Bon
of that king. Like the fable of Cupid
and l'sycne, as whu oy puieius, it m
supposed by Mr. Lesley to have been
nhilosohhv in tho miise of a love-story.
and to have related to tho introduction
: tho sun-worship of Syria into
Egypt. His translation was read a

not. Speaking of Exodus reminds us
to RJIV that ono of the latest theories
about the Pentateuch makes the book
of , Genesis the latost written of the
five. Whether this theory has any
thing to do with Itawlinson's discovery
about the story of Babel, etc., as re-
lated m the Assynan inscriptions, we
cannot say, 1 ' ' ,

We cannot ljut deijloro tho publica
tion of a narrative such as that which
Mrs. Stowe has thought proper to lay
before the' world. It sets no question
at rest, and consequently it will not
oven witisfy tho morbid curiosity of
those persons who aro moro interested
in tho scandals of Lord Byron's life
than in his works. Mrs. Stowo has
boon made tho means of circulating a
revolting aspersion on Lord Byron's
half-sister lister Sirs. Stowo calls her
of whom all that is known is that
she was faithful to him in the darkest
hours of his life, and followed him
with her sympathy in his exile. It is
no justification of the eourso which
Mrs. Stowo 'has unfortunately been
advised to adopt, that Lord Byron or
iginated tho calumny on an innocent
lady. Lady Byron pursued tho .poet
with a systematic malignity which was
sometimes scarcely compatible With
tho theory of her sanity. Thero
no offonco o! which she did not accuse
him. It was only after he and his
lialf-iustor had been dead for years
that she ventured to link their mfmes
together in infamy. Then it was done
in a conversation with a comparative
stranger, and no proofs whatever were
given in mipport of the odious charge.
Mrs. Stowo was not tilled upon to re
vive thif miserable story of domestic
unhappiness. She can'produco no ev
idence in substantiation of the narra
tive. All tho facts and all tho proba-
imiucH coiiiranict it. Jiespect lor tlie
memory of Lady Iiyrfn would certain
ly have fitiggcsUd the propriety of al
lowing a mystery which can never be
cleared up to sink into oblivion. She
has now stepped fonvard with nr.su?-

little etknuation of her fault that she
eufflred herself to 1 imposed upon
by a woman of implacable disposition
and rfjlentkss t nqxir.
Is is ouits evident tliat Mrs. Stowo
approached her task in the spirit of a
novelist. Her account of Lord Bv-
ron h affection for Mks Chatworth is
ol tho gushing and sentimenal order
which certain writers of fiction hsbitu
lly affect. Her moralizing, her elo
quent digressions on the subject of an
gola, her reactions, which aro meant
to bo pipus and narrowly cscapo being
profaneher ecstatic account of hsly
Byron's struggle with "fiend. of cUrk
neHs" for the redemption of Iier "hus
band's soul" may also be tolerated on
tho ground that they aro part of the
stock in trade of an imaginative writer.
When Mrs. Stowo comes to derd with
facts wo get upon ground whore we at
once discover her singular iccautious
ncss in dealing with a subject of ei
tremo delicacy. Every detail of her
story is contradicted by tlie circum
stances attending tho "fieparalion of
Lord and Lady Byron. She is wrong
in her quotations, wrong in her dacs,
wrong in the account she gives of tho
mode in which Lady Byron quitted
her husband's roof. Sue speaks of
Lady Byron having lived two years
with her husband. The truth Li that
they were married oh the 3d of Janu
ary", lBlo, and on tho loth of the fol
lowing January they were separated.
She states that Lord Byron wrote a
note to his wife, ordering her to leave
him. "lie could not and would not,"
says Mrs. Stowe, "have her about him,
and when her child was only five
weeks old he carried this threat of ex
pulsion into effect." This is quite
contrary to tho actual facts. The
child was lorn on tlie 10th of Decem
ber. Lady Byron went to her father's
house at Ivirkby Mallory in the ensu
ing month, for the benefit of her
health. She wrote a letter from thence
to her husband which has always been
deemed a strong presumptive proof
that Lord Byron was guilty of no gross
offence towards her. Leigh Hunt,
Captain Med win and Tom More read
this letter. A writer in a recent num
ber of Ulaclneood'a Magazine recalls
their testimony in regard to it. Leigh
Hunt says it "was written in a spirit
of good humor, and even fondness,
which though containing nothing but
what a wife ought to write, and is tho
better for writing, was, I thought, al
most too good to show." Moore de
scribes it as "full of playfullness and
affection." Captain Medwin states
that it beran "Dear Duck. A few
days afterward Lord Byron received
another letter from his wife's mother,
invitinr? him 'to Kirkby Mallory. The j
very next letter ho received was one
. . 4"U1. !
irom her latner, miormmg mm.
Lady Byron had left him forever. j
Let it be remembered that Lady By- j
ron parted from her husband on good
terms, that she wroto to him in a very
affectionate manner, and that without
seeing him again sho suddenly cast him
off. These are facts which have never
been disputed. Now listen to the ro
manco which Lady Byron appears to
have foisted on Mrs. btowe,
"On tho day of her departure she
passed by the door of hi9 room, and
stopped to caress his favorite spahid,
which was lying there j and she con
fessed to a friend the weakness of feel
ing a willingness even to be something
as humble m tnat poor utue cre&mrtj,
might she only be allowed to remain
and watch over him. She went into
his room, where he and the partner of
his sins were sitting together, and said,
Byron, I come to say good-bye of
fering her hand the same time. Lord
Byron put his hands behind him,' re
treated to the mantel-piece, and, look
ing around on the two that stood there
with a sareastie smile, said,, 'When
shall we three meet again ?'Lody By
ron answered, 'In heaven, I trust; and
these were her last words to him on
earth." . . '
