Folds her dewy wings with happy heart

And sleeps and dreanlsthe hours away.

The Husband's Present.

BY >'\'l.\'.\Nl.'S CORR JR.

 

 

It was a bitter cold night upon the 2-ltb
of December. The S'll0\V lay deep upon
the’ frozen earth, and the bright moon,
riding half way up the bright heavens,
lent. a chrystaline lustre lo the scene.-
Ill "the high road a short distance from
a quiet, rcposing village, stood the fornl
ofa human being——His garmelus were
scant and tattered, by far illsufflciellt to
keep out the biting frost. ; his frame shook
trembled like the ice-bound bouglls ofthc‘
weeping willow that grew near him, and
llislface as the nloonbeams now danced
upon it, exhibited all the fearful foot-
prints of the demon Illtemperauce.—
Poor, wretched, debascd be_ looked, and
such in truth lle‘was. _ '

Before him, at the elld of a neatly l‘:‘ll~
ced and enclosure, stood a small cottage.
It was -‘elegant ill its simple neatness, and
just such all one as the" humble lover of
true ‘comfort and joy would seek for a
home. Tlle tears ‘rolled down the bloat-
ed .eheeks_of the poorinebriate as he ga.

zed upon the cottage; and at. length, as
helclasped his‘llands in agony, he mur-
muted -1‘ ‘

.--O, thou folld home of my happiest
days, thou lookest like ll heaven of the
. ast. Belleatll thy roof I was married to
the idol of my soul, and within thy walls
God gave me two blessed cllildreu.—-
Tllell peace and plenty were lllille, find
loveand joy. _My wife, God bless her
.geui.le soul‘, was happy tlen; and my

' ell'lldreu——may heaven protect tbem—-

lauglled and played. in gleesome pleas-
ure. Gladness smiled upon us then, and
every hour was a season of bliss. But
I lost, thee, as a fool loosetll his owll sal-
vation! Six years have passed since the
demon that I took to my heart drove us
from your sheltering roof. And those
six years! 0, what misery, what agony
wlla! sorro\vs,_alld what degrarlntioll
have they brought to me and my poor
family!‘ Home, health, wealth, peace,
joy, gone all, all gone! Oll thou fatal
cup, no I will not blame thee! It was I
I who did it!
ed with thy deadly sting, when I knew
that destruction‘ lurked ill thy smiles.-
But, blll," and the poor man raised his
eyes to heaven as he spoke, there is room
on earth for another man, AND I wu.L as
THAT nzlu !” ‘

VVulliu' the only apartlllellt of a mis-
erable and almost broken down hovel,
sat a woman and two children, a boy and
agirl.
lllrlouglra llulldred c,r_e,,vi,ces, as itsbitillg
guests swept tllrougll the room, the
mother and her children ‘crouclled~-llear
lo the few elnbers that ‘still smoulder-
éd upon the hearth. .’1‘hc only furniture
were four poor stools, a rickelty table,
alld a scaullly covered bed; wllile ill one
corner, nearest to the fire place, was a
heap ofstraw and tattered blankets, wllicll
served as a roosl.ing place for the broth-

‘ er and sister. Part. of a fallow candle

was burning upon the table, and by us
diln ’ light one might have seen that
xvretclled mothers countenance; it was
pale and wall, and wet with tears. The
faces of her children were ‘both buried
‘Ill her lap, and they seelned to sleep
peaceful under her prayerfully guardi-
anship. »

' At length, the sound of footsteps upon
the snow-crust, broke upon the -mother's’
ears, and hastily arousing her children,
she lll.l|'l'lEd~l.llefll to their lowly. bed, and
llardley had they clonclled beneath the
thin blankets wllen the door was open-
ed, and the man whom we have already
seen beneath that pretty cottage, entered
the place. With no trenlbling fearful look
l.,h,c,,wife gazed into her‘ husband’: face,
alldseellled ready tocrouch. back fronl
his approach -wllell the mark of a tear
drop uponllis cheek caught her eye.-
Could it be, thought she. that that pearly
drop wasiu truth a tear! ,No, perhaps
a snow flake had fallen there and melted

to his wife, but--at length he lurlled slow-

alul:soon after his weary linlbs had touch-

Long and earnestly did Mrs. Wilkins
gaze upon tllgfeatures of her husband,
There was

‘sound as of prayer. issued from his lips
while he yetslepl. ’ ‘ ’

A faillhllope, like the misty .vapol_' of
approaching morn. flitted before the heart
broken wife. But she could llotgrasp
it, she lladllo foundation for it, and witll
a deep groan she felt the plmlltonl pass."
She went to her children and drew the
clothes ‘ closely about -tlleln ; then she
knelt by their side; "and ‘after impriutillg
upon their cheeks a mother's kiss, alld ut-

Year after year I tamper- .

The cold wind found its entrance-

powerfui emotion stirred up his soul and
made his chest heave, "he murmured;

"Kiss me Lizzie.”

Tightly that wife wound her arms
about the neck of her husband, and as
tllougll ill: love of years were centered
ill that one kiss, she pressed it upon his
lips. .

"There——no more,” he uttered. as he
gently laid the trim of his wife fronl his
neck ; these things I haye brought are for
you and our cllildrell ;'-and he as spoke he
left the house. - ‘ ’

Mrs. Wilkins arose froul her bed, and
trenlblingly examined the article upon
the table. She found lllc loaf, apackage
of tea, and one of sugar, and ill the pail
slle foulld milk, while ill the remaining
parcel she found a nice lulnp ofbutl.c-r.

“ O," murlnuretl the poor wife and
mother, as she gazed upon the food lhus
spread before her, “whence these’! Can
it be that Thomas has stolen tlleul '! No,
he never did that! And then that look!
that kiss, those kindeweet words! 0, my
poor, poor heart, rattler raise not a hope

“Mother at this moment spoke her

“Yes, yes, he did!” cried the mother
as slle flew to the side of her boy and
wound her arms‘ about lliln.

That mother could not speak, sllecoull‘.

Was Lizzy, Wilkins happy as she eat
her children dowll to that morlliug's
meal? ,-At. least. a ray of sullsllillc was
struggling to gain clltral.c:c to her bosom.

'l‘owards the uliddle_of.llle afternoon,
Ml‘. Abel Walker zl retired sea-captain
ofsolne wealth, sat ill llisconlfonable par-
lor engaged ill reading, when one of his

"Tell him to come in, then returned

"-But its that miserable \Vilkius, sir.”

a ulouleul's llesltalioll, “show him in.-
Poor fellow, he colllilllled alter the ser-

‘ \Villl a trembling step and a down-

The :__rloomy sllailovvs that ushered ill
the night of the tl_lll'ly first of December
had fallen over the sllow-elzul eart.ll.—
Within the llIl=t'l’al)l6 dwellillg of Mrs.
\Vi|k~ills there was more of comfort than
we fou_nd when first we \'l:.llCLI llerblu.
yet nothing had been added to the fur-
niturc of the place. For the last ‘six
(I ays her husband had come home
late every evening, and had gone away
before daylight every luorllillg and du-
ring that tune she knew that he ll-all not
drank no illl.uxical.ill-g beverage, for al-
l'cady'llis face began to Z1._SslllllL: the stamp

he had spoken had been kind zIllll_1lll‘el‘-
liullutc To his cllildrcll he bougllt new
shoes and warm clothing, and to her self’
he had given such things as she stood ill
ilnlnedizlte need of, but yet, with all this
he had been luciturll and l.llOllglIl.flll,
sllovving 3-. dislike of all uueslious. and
only speaking such words as were neces-
sary. The poor, llcvolillg, loving wife
began to hope .’ And «. why should she
not‘! For six years her husband had
not been thus before. Ollc week ago
she dreaded his appcarallce, but now she

The wife took the paper, and she ope-
ned ll. Slle realized its contents at a
glance ; but she could not read it word
for word, for the streaming tears of a
wild frantic joy would not let ller.—
\Villl a quick nervous ‘movement she
placed the priceless pledge next to her
bosom; and then with a low murmur,
she fell into her‘ husband's arms.

“ Look up, look up, my own dear wife.
uttered the redeemed mall, “ look upaml

my dear children gather about your fath-

“I678 I-‘S llappilless on earth, it sllall

forgotten, and with this, the dawning of
a new year. let us commence to live in
the future.”

Gently the husband alld wife sank up-
on their knees, clasped ill each others
arms; and clillgillg joyfully to them,
knelt their conscious, happy children.
A prayer from the llusb;lud’slipswended
its way to the throne of grace, and with
the warm tears‘ trickling down his aged
face, old Captain \Valker responded a
