ONLY A TRIFLE.
BY EMILY N. MAY.
‘lt’s only a trifle, uncle,’ s-iid Harry Stuy-
vesant to his guardian. Miss Boyd may be
as you say careless; but it is only a trifle»,
and outweighed by her beauty and brilliant
But he soon began to find‘ that the cup
w -s mixed with Olllt r ingredients than those
of happiness. If to see his wife shine in
company afforded him such pleasure, it was
alas! the only gratification her society nfIitr-
(led hint. for at home she was always tired
and siltnt, and even grew pettish when he
sought court-rsitlion. A
About three months after their marri-ge
H rrry returned home onewet eve-nirigtit'ed
and t:‘Xl'l=2ll8l.et2l by rt day of unusually labori-
ous bu;-ioess. With a senseof I‘-('llt’f be de-
posited his tvet umbrella in the rack and o-
pened the drawing-room door. But instead
of the Clirterful fire he hoped‘ to find therc,all
was cold and COtltf0l'l.lt‘5S. He then went up
to his wife’s sittingroom, but site was not
there. A little. annoyed at finding her out,
he rang the bell for a servattt, but he had to
repeal the sutnmons before any one appear-
ed. At last the cook entered.
‘Where is Mrs. Sl.ll_v\'(‘S7lt'll. .7’
‘Gone out,-’ was the reply. She lI:lS been
out all day.’ I
’ 'I-Itt:npltl
bout .7’
‘Yes sir. The rest lave all gone out too
-—-they di.ln’t cxprcl you in so soon.’
'Isn’t there any fire in the house?’ Said he
.-harply checking himself in a severe uni-
tnadversion on the servants.
‘There comes John.’ said the cook, as the
gate was heard shutting, ‘he will soon make
tip the fire sir, and missus will be home by
and bye} ;
In no very good humor Harry bid to
walk up and clown the hall until a fire was
are you the only servant a-
A-:You Itnriy live to lliinlrdtffererifiy, Harry
said the old gentleman. ‘I have seen thrice
your years, and depend upon it. the happi-
nes of ii married life rests on the little things
rather than the great ones. You can’t all
the time be thinking of your wiles beauty,
but will SOtllt~llm&'S recur to the comforts you
once enjoyed in atidy ltouse, and IM fore a
year has gone over your head, you will be
willing to sacrifice her briliaut talents fornn
amiable disposition. Give me it wont.-in who
has the tact to perceive and gratify onc’s lit-
tle peculiarities of taste or habit—who knows
when to have the slippers warmed, how
mtich to cook the joint of meat, in what way
to do tip out-'3 linen and to attend to all those
other little, every day comforts. You may
despise these trifies now. but they have more
to do with the happiness of a married lift"
than anything else.’ -
Harry kept silent a moment, looking at
the key of his watch, which he kept “hiri-
ing; for he felt that his uncle was eyeing
hint keenly, At length he spoke—--
‘But grainging what you say—how do you
know that Ellen Boyd will not attend to these
Cannot a woman of genius make a
kind and considerate wife ?’
‘Ct-rtairtly—a few may —’
‘Then, interrupted Harry exultingly, ‘that
is giving up your case. I'll run the risky;
she’ll be one of the few—tnd who wouldn"t
rather have it beauty and a bell-espritthati a
mere humdrum.’ and with these words he
bowed himself out of his unclc’s office.
The old gt‘l'll.I€lIlflII shook his head sadly,
as he gaz-d at the young man.
‘It is no use ‘arguing witli“’hini;,,I see,’ he
said to himself—‘tbe boy's crazy ‘with love,
and is determined to throw hirnselfawity. I
can only give him advice and advice, wont
move hint. Well let him try the experintent.
As he makes his bed, so he must lie.’""’ And
with this homely proverb the old gentleman
turned to his desk, and resumed the examin-
ation of his papers. _ »
4 Ellen Boyd was a beat_f_t_v and a wit, but
,her temper was high, and'sl')c was both by
nature and education selfish. The gratifica-
tion of her pleasure was all she. cared for,
and to this she trtonaged to make everything
and everybody subse-rv.ie~rtl. Her splendid
fnce and ‘figure. united to hr-l‘ really brilianl
powers ofconversation. made her a favorite
in every circle in which she moved and pro-
cured her coust.nt admirers, who led her
sell-love with flattery. At home, she was
considered a prodigy of the family, and _in
consequence had been spoiled from her child
hood. Her plainer sisters had learned to
sacrifice a portion oftheir own wi_t_r__drobcs to
srender that oftheir sister more spleridi-d; and
often they, as well as their mother, labored
all day to adjust the dress that Ellen was ‘to
wear at a ball in the evening. for the family
were not WPall.Il_\', and even had some c'ifli-
cttI'_v, rumor said, to make ends meet at the
close of the year. While her sisters were
thus occupied, the proud beauty was usually
lying on a sofa reading the ‘last novel, ‘or
perhaps ill‘-liumoredly finding fault with
them for not performing their task more to
her taste.. But all‘ these things were borne

his wife. She came in complaining of ex-
cessive fatigue,and v ith a fit of pevishness.
for the milliner had disappointed her; and
her husband spent one of the most unpleas-
ant evi nings of his life.
Another month passed on, and Harry’s
pleasure in witnessing the triumph of his
wife’: beatity continuel to wear away be-
neaththe thotisarid petty annoyances of home.
He still at times, loved her as passionately
as ezer, and often at an evening assembly. he
would stand apart It-‘llfllllg against a pillar,
cont.-mpluting like a young lover the effect
produced by her trauscettdant loveliness.—-
At other times he would hang.a (‘h:tt‘tita(l lis-
tener on the words with which she was en-
chanting a circle ofdignified and renowned
statesmen. But when he entered his home,
all his happiness had vanished. His wife

that it. is too much trouble to dress for a bus-
band, and uccordinglyshe methitn at break-
fast and dinner, except when there was com-
piny, in an old slovenly dress, and a man-
ner that was sure to be indiflerent. even if it
was not ill hurnored, for as Helen bad mat‘-
ried him for his we_lth alone. and that was
now assured to her. she no longer consider-
ed it worth her while.-to consulthis comfort.
In the some way she met every advance for
an evening's quiet. erijoynierit when there
was no ball or Soiree to attend. though this
occurred but rarely. Instead of striving to
entertain her busbintl, she usually look up a
novel or slept oti the s-ifa.
Sometimes Harry ventured to exposlul-ate
but this only produced ultercations, and he
-was wise enough to givt: it up. Scenes like
'-that which we have recorded,'t-uben he would
return home and find everythingcoutfortless,
servants negligi-nt because the mistress ofthe
house was careless, became too frequent.-
Harry at length did what hundreds of has-
bands have done before, in like circumstan-
ces—he sought abroad for__thut comfort which
he could not find at home. '
There is not now a ntore unhappy couple

her beauty is already’ filling a victim to her
ill-temper. and it is rumored that her. hits-

gambling life, and that daily scenes occur be-

to supply’ her extravagance as before.
‘I feared it would be so.’ said H.trr_v’s tin-

the Post Oflice, and putting his nose close to
the delivery box cried out ‘Louder !' The
clerk supposing the negro to be deafand that
he was making a request of him to speak,
louder, so that he could hear, asked him in
a very loud tone the name of the persons for
whom he wanted the letter. .
‘Louder,’ cried the negro.
-‘What name!’ yelled the clerk.
‘Louder I’ again bawled the negro, who
now supposed the clerk to be deaf.
The Clerk took a long breath and with
all his might be again bellowed out in the
neg'ro’s face the same qttestion,‘ What na.-me ?
This was done in so load a tone, that the’
echo seemed to return from the far of} hills.
The negro started back. in alarm, shout-
ing to the very top of his big lungs ‘Louder

INDIAN ANECDOTE.'
Col. Joseph Dudley, Governor of New
England was building a house on his planta-
tien, and as he was looking upon his tvork-_
men he took notice of a lusty Indian, who,
though the weather wastextremely cold, was‘
a naked as Well as an idlespectalor. ‘Hark-
-»-.-yuu I--.dit'm.’aaid.tlte Govetnor,‘i-.-by don’:
you yvorlr as these men do, and get clolhesto
°°"‘-‘I 3'0“ l’ ‘And why you no work Gov-
ernor .7’ replied the Indian. ‘I work.’ repli-
ed the ‘Governor, clapping his fore-finger up-
on his forehead, ‘with my head and there-
fore need not work with my hands.’
‘Well,’ replied the Indian, ‘and if Iwould
work, what have you for meto do ?’ -go kill
me a calf,’ said the Governor. ‘and I
give you a shilling.’ The fellow did so, the
Governor asked why he did not skin and
dress it !» ‘J-ulf dead, Governor, said the In-
dian. give me my shilling! give-me anoth-
er, and I will skin and dress hint.’ This
was complied with, and away wentthe.Indi-
an to the tavern with his two shillings. He
soon drank one in rum, and then returned to
the Governor. ‘Your shilling bad, the man
no take it." The Governor beleived him
and gave him another; but returning in the
same manner with the second, the Govern-
or discerned that he was a rouge; however
be exchanged tlfat, t_oo, reserving his re.
sentrttent for an other opportunity, tvhice he
thought he should find no great difficulty in
procuring.
To accomplish this the Governor wrote a
letter to the keeperiofthe Bosotn Bridewell, to
take the beater and give him a sound whip-
ping. This letter he kept in his pocket, and
in a few days, the Indian came againto stare
at the workaienv;'tlte Governor took no no-
tice of ltim for some time, but at last l'lt-.’pl1'lI-
ing the letter out of his pocket, said, ‘if you
will carry this to Boston, I will give yoti a
halfa crown.’ The Indian closed with the
proposal, and set out upon his journey. He
had not gone filf, before he met another In-
dian, belonging tothe Governor. to whom
he gave the letter, and told him that his mas-
ter had sent him to meet. and to bid him re-
turn with that letter to Boston, as soon as be
possibly could.
The poor Indian carried it \VlIl1’=gl',9i1l(lIlI-
gence, and received a sou_nd«whipping-for his
pains; at the news of which the Governor
was not it little astonished on his return.
The other Indian came no more; but at the
distance of some months at a— meeting with
some of his nation, the Governor saw the
fellow amongst the rest, and_ asked-'I‘i.im. how
he dtirst serve him such a trick .9’ The Indian
looking him full in the face, and clapping
his fore-finger upon his forehead. ‘head work!
Governor,’ said be, ‘head work !’
