When lambkins sport bcuclath the hill, ’.

‘I was a romantic girl, as you well
know, Kate. Some few friends I had,‘
whom I loved dearly;'but these friend-
ships did not quite satisfy my heart.-
Something more it. craved. I hardly
knew what, until I loved my husband.-
\Vhen we were firsl; married, I used
sometimes ' to ask iiiyself: Now, do I
find in this life all which I expected to
find? Am I as happy as I thought I
should be? My heart always responded-
yes, and more so. With us the romaiice
of -married life, if I may call it. so,‘
held on a long time. For my part,
I was conscious of a pleasurable excite-
ment of feeling -\\"l'!ell we were together.
I enjoyed walking and riding alone with

were those in which we sat down alone
together, to talk or read.
time I felra gentle restraint in his pres-
ence. I liked to be becomingly dressed
and to feel in tune. VVhen dull, I made
an effort to be social and cheerful if he
was present. I had a great fear of get-
ting :in the way of sitting down sin-
pidly with my husband, or of having
nothing to talk about but the children
and the butcher's bill. I‘ made a bus’-
iness _of remembering every plezisani
thing which I read or heardor thought,
to tell him, and when all these subjects
were exhausted, we had eapli of us a
hobby we could ride, so that we were
silent for want of something to- say.-
Thus we lived for a year or two. I think
people were often siirprisedto see us con-
tinue to enjoy each other’s society with
so much zest. ’
But there was this about it, As yet
I had irotliiiig to try me, VVe were boar-
ding, I had no cure, and his tenderness
and interest was a sovereign panacea for
the little ails and roughness which must
. r , .
fall to us in our best estate. I‘li1s could
not last, however, forever. He became
more and more occupied in his business,
and I at length had a baby to look after.
Then, for the firsi. time, our mutual for-
bearance was put to the test. Hitherto
we had been devoted to eachother; "now
the real cares of life pressed upon us so
as often really to absorb our energies. I
was the first to feel the change. . It seein-
ed to me as if sometliing was overshad-
owing us. Sometimes I would get sen-
tiinantal, and think he did not love me
as he once did. As I look back now, I
am convinced that here was my fi7St
wrong step. Indulgence in these moods
weakened my resolution. It was an in-
justice to him, of which I ought not to
have been guilty. It left me, too, with
a wounded feeling, as if I had been wron-
ged, which began to affect my spirits.-‘-
Once, I had for some time carried‘
about this little sore in my lieart. -I kept
the matter all to myself, for I was in

head uched, and my baby had been wea-

I had a cross, igiiorant servant. girl, and
on this particular inoruiiig she. had done
her very worst for breakfast. 'I‘he’bee’f-
steak, was burned to a cinder; the eggs
were like bullets; the bread was hall-ba-.
ked ; and the coffee, which was our main
stay, was execrahle. My husband was
very patient with all this, until it came
to the colfe, and this upset him. He put
his cup down, and said in a half vexed
tone, ‘I do wish we could ever have any
good coffee. Annette, why cannot you
have it made as my mother does P’
This was the drop too much for me,‘
and I boiled over. ‘You never think
anything on our table fit to ‘be eaten, said
I—and -I almost staiteil at the sound of

vide me with decent servants. I cannot

‘I did not know before that I was so

‘O, it is all over with us,’ thought 1;-—
