And sigh, that I tarry so long.

And a cord in each heart that awaketh,
Regret at my wearisome stay?
Do they place me a chair near the table?
When evcning’s home pleasures are nigh,
When the candles are lit in the parlor,
And stars in the calm azure sky-
And when the “ good nights” are repeated,
And all lay them down to their sleep,
Do they think of the absent, and waft me
. A whispered “ good-night,” while they weep?
Do they miss me at home? Do they miss me '3-
At morning, at noon, or at night,
Or lingers one gloomy shade round them.
That only my presence can light?

And pleasures less hale than before,
Because one, is missed from the circle-
Because I am with them no more?

IVIISER LINES.
. BY MRS. M. DENNISON.
PART 1.
“Harry. I never before had toask so
many times for a necessary article. I
do believe you are growing stingy.-
Come, look in my face, let me see if
there are any miser lines on your cheek.
Do you know I had an uncle once who
was a miser? He was rich enough to
buy all Philadelphia, they say; I never
saw him, and I’m sure none of his mou-
ey ever came to me. It all went to be-
nevolent societies, queer,wasn’t it '.’ I But
I remember the description at younger
cousin used to give of him, and she had
two deep long lines on either cheek, run-
ning f'rom the root of the nose round to
the chin. She told it-in sucha ludicrous
manner that it always made me laugh,
as it was a peculiarity I called them mi-
ser lines. Let me look at you; no, your
checks are as smooth almost as my own
there never will be a miser line there, I
know. But here are two faint, very
faint wrinkles on this open brow. It
looks ominous,”.continued the gay young
wife, laughhngly shaking her head. “I
wonder what it means; I think you up-
ply yourself too steadily to business."
Young Maitland hardly replied to the
gay speech of the beautiful wife, but
turning listlessly from his paper, learned
his head upon his hand.
“Charles," cried Annie, laughing a
little, "that old uncle, you know. Well
Fred and Charley -you know cousins
Fred and Charley—they've both got
something to remember him by. Now
don’t go to sleep while I tell you, fix
your bright eyes on mine and don’t even
wink. Thev knew as everybody else
did, I suppose, that uncle ’Siah was im-
mensely rich.”
"You know,” put in Harry, smiling a
little.
"There it is provoking that I can’:
break ruyself of that foolish thing; I
can’t think when it became a habit; but
——you—know.”
She paused, blushed, and with slight-
ly petulant manner that was quite be
coming in her, cried, “I will conquer
it,” and proceeded to tell her story.
which, by the way Harry looked for
quite impatiently.
“We.l, one day uncle ’SIah came from
Indiana to visit uncle Henry, and the
boys, Fred and Charley, tried in every
way to please the old gentleman, partly
on account of his age, but ‘most partly,’
as little sis says, on account of their
pockets—-you—-, there I didn't say it,did :
Uncle ’Siah seemed quite attracted '
I?
by their quiet and self denying habits,
and the attention the rattle-brains snow-
ed him; so the day before he was to re-
turn home, he said to them, ‘boys after
dinner come In the library; I want to
give you something as you have been
such good little fellows since I have
been here.’ You may just imagine how
red their cheeks grew, directly, and what
visions of splendor floated before their
eyes. Fred says he remembers that he
looked confidently for fiIl.y.U0l'lars though
he had modestly hinted to Charley it
might only be ten, and on the strength
of their expectations, they both got
trusted at a neighboring toy shop to the
amount of a whole dollar.”
"No: the only ones,” muttered Harry,
“who get trusted on the strength of
their expectations.”
"No, but don’t sigh so dolefully dear.
One o’cloclr came, though theboys de-
clared confidently it never would. At
two dinner was on the table, at three
dispatched, and immediately after, Fred
and Charley, with hair combed smooth-
ly,aud dressed in their holiday suits,
crept into the study with cheeks as red
as poppies.
The old man was there. Two very
small parcels laid on the table at his side
he beckoned them to be seated. ‘Boys,’
he said solemnly ‘I am about to make
you a present cf some money; and I
want you to use it discreetly. You are
young. and do not yet know the value of
the commodity, but do as I did, save your
money. What I give to you now is the
same-amount I began life with, and by
prudence and ener y I have become
rich, I hope you maygdo the same. Be
honest boys,.be virtuous, cautious and
prudent ; never run in debt for the smal-
lest article, (the boys felt a little uneasy
at that) be patient, be temperate and
you cannot fail to become rich. ow,
boy,s_,’,take these, receive my blessing :
go.
"And how much was it, pray?" asked
Harry‘, lifting up his head, and ‘looking
quite animated. '
. "Why it was-—a penny apiece,” re-
turned Annie, laughing heartily. "And
Freddeclared that the old man fhought
they were on their good behaviour for
the sake of the dimes, so took that meth-
od to rebuke them, for he said he hap-
pened to look back before he cot out of
the room, and uncle 'Siah wasalaughing
away to himself. Oh! they were so an-
gry. Charley wanted to go back and
fling the money in his face, but Fred re-
minded him that any want of respect
towards the old man would subject them
to-severe punishment, so he contented
himself with tossing it injo a neighbor-
ing field, while Fred took an axe and
succeedediu chopping his penny to pie-
ces and leaving them in the way.

Finding the -Journal.
"I wonder what makes Harry so

her sewing; "I’m sure everything looks
delightful here at home, and Harry seems
to enjoy my society as keenly as ever.-
Hngh ho lsome perplexing business]

her ernbrujdery into a graceful work
basket, that sat at her side, and she arose
sauntered through her beautiful parlors
and out into the passage. There in the
broad light of the sun lounged a rosy
checked chamber fast asleep.
‘,:Whata lazy creature!” thought An-
nie, "really she doesn’t have work
enough to keep her out of mischief, rho’
to be sure she can't do much mischief
asleep, but I wish she had more work to
do. Passing the girl, Annie ran up
stairs to her dressing-room, and for a
while amused herself by re-arrariging
the beautiful dressesin her wardrobe.—-
Then she paused half yawmng before
her mirror languidly rolled her ringlets
wishing Harry could stay all day with
her, was sure she should never weary of
his ‘company, wondered when the up
holsters would come to measure the
rooms for a new carpet, and the win-
dows for new curtains; hoped Harry
wouldn’t forget that absolutely rndispen
sable shawl, and then began to look
through her drawers.
Asmall beautiful gift annual—such
she thought rt—attracted her fancy.--
Shejremembered now she found II. in the
corner of the lounge under one of the
velvet pillowsthe evening before, and
believing it to be a book lent her by a
friend she had carried it to her own room
that it might not receive injury. Me-
chanically seating herself she opened the
pages and found—a blank. Surprise
roused her energy, she placed the book
on her knee. and turned carefully to the
first page to find the owner’s name. In
a \‘.'reaLh of daimily tinted flowers she
reurl "Harry E‘. MarLland’s Journal.”
"\Vhy, It is I-Iarry’s,” she exclaimed,
in surprise, "I did not know he kept a
journal,” and turning the pages hurried-
ly she paused at a passage where her
own name "caught her attention, and
blu.-hing, she read on.

And '
24th—I am getting deeply involved,
I fear. Have borrowed five hundred of
my cousin,must return it in three months
—a bad beginning. And Annie must
have her shawl ; if I told her all, per-
haps she would be contented with those
she has already, but I cannot gather the
courage. When I think of it in her
presence, I am a very coward. I must
borrow still more and trust to fortune
I-low guilty and how cowardly I seem
to myself! Oh Annie, I wish I was
more worthy of you, sweet wife--for
your; sake would I have a mine of gold !"
For a moment, Annie closed the book.
Tears filled her eyes, and her good gen-
erous heart ached for her erring hus-
baud. ' "He shall‘ see,” she murmured,
rising as she spoke, “that I am no vain
selfish creature.”
Instantly throwing on her graceful
bonnet, and a shawl, that though not
quite fashionable, was still very elegant,
she set forward to the splendid store of
M. Gerry, the popularupholsterer.
"I am very sorry," exclaimed the po-
lite clerk, before Annie had a chance to
speak, "that I could not send my men
today, but a counter order.”
"It is no matter,” replied Annie, "I
called to say that you need not take the
trouble and if the damask is not cut-”
"It shall be directly; you wished or-

“Certainly, certainly, madam, just as

bowed her out

Lessening Expenditure.
Annie’s next move was towards her
father's house, in a beautiful avenue,yet
green and blooming. though the leaves
were turning sere upon the trees.
Her mother sat alone employed
writing.
“Why 3 how fortunate!” she cried,
“I was just about sending you a IIOIB,
begging you to loan me your set of agait
to-morrow night E”
"What will you give me for it, moth-
er ?” said Annie laughingly.
“Give you? why? would you sell it’?
You must need money. Doesn’t your
husband provide you-—-’’
"With everything I wish, mother; but
I want to give a great surprise, and-—
in fact it’s to be a. secret, so I’m perfect-
ly willing to sell my beautiful agait;
come what will you give me? Buy
them now I’m in the mood; you know
if [need such things I can get plenty
in
‘more?’
“VVell—-there are five hundred dol-
lars at my drspos-al—-the set is fully
worth a thousand, I suppose—-at least I
know that is what your uncle gave for
it-—bur he is dead, poor man. I'll give
you five hundred now and two at some
future time; say a month.”
Anme’s cheeks flushed with pleasure,
and she left her father’s house with the
bank notes tightly folded up and deposi-
red in the end of her purse.
Harry came home later than usual
and his wife pretended not to see as he
went straight to the lounge and lifted
the pillow, looking carefully about.
"I suppose the men came here to
measure the floors,” said Harry, butter-
ing his muffin with an air of abstraction
that seemed totally foreign to his appe-
me.
“No,” said Annie, sipping her tea,
and trying‘ her best to seem perfectly
unconcerned, “I was looking at the car-
pets to day, and they do seem entirely
too good to rip up and send to auction.
And then the curtains; I’ve really gor
attached to them. I’m sure Gerry has
not so pretty a pattern in his store, so as
afit of economy, or perversity, or call
it what you will, came over me, I deter-
mined to go over to Gerry's and tell him
I had changed my mind.”
“You did-!” exclaimed Harry, looking
up so bright and animated, that Annie
felt doubly repaid for her sacrifice. And
if was asLoui.=hm-__: how quickly the muf-
fins disappeared! Annie laughed quick-
ly to herself; indeed she enjoyed it
thoroughly.
"You shall have the shawl to-mor-
row.” he said in the course of the even-
ing.
“Thank you for nothin-_{," replied Au-
nie laughing, “I’m not going to be bur-
dened with a shawl The fringe is al-
ways carchiug in smnething, and my
shoulders dou’t droop enough to carry
one gracefully. I found that our to-day,
all of a sudden. And you know that
beautiful satin you lxotlght me last fall
for a dress, well, I am just goingro have
itmade into a stylish cloak, it will not
cost one-eighth of the sum, and look
much more beautiful and becoming.”
‘Harry drew a long sigh, but it was :1
sigh of relief, and his wife knew it.-—
Never seemed an evening to fly so rap-
idly. Harry was himself again, danced
to his wife's music, chatted gully as was
his wont of old, and retired a happy,
light-hearted man. He found his jour-
nel oddly enough in one of his pockets
that we-ry mg/zt. ‘
The next day at dinner Annie said——
“Don’t you think. Hurry, Mrs Lynch
has been here to get us to go to the new
church. Several families have gone
with a perfectly good understanding ex
isting between them and our pastor.-
Now I've been thinking our church is
so dreadfully crowded, and we both ad-
mire Mr Elder. the new preacher, so
much hadn't we better go there? Be-
sides there will be a difference of nearly
forty dollars pew rent in a year.”
Harry looked keenly at Annie, and
sheinuocently returned the glance, so
although he wondered at the spirit of
calculation that had come over his little
wife, he never even dreamed of the
cause.
"I'll go there, certainly, my Annie,”
he replied. It will encourage Mr. El-
der, and show that we do not attend
church to indulge in pride and ostenta-
tion, since it is a very plain meeting-
house, and I presume the poorer part of
the congregation will branch off; but
do you think how far it will be for you
to walk in winter ?”
"Never mind that,” she replied.

Harry had begun steadily to retrieve

heart. He calculated to be able justly
to meet his bills, the rent of his expen-
sive house and store, "and next year,”
thought be, "I'll go alone. "How fortu-
nate things have turned out so in accor-
dance with my means and wishes. An-
nie is thoughtful, heaven bless her, I
never gave her credit for so much - fore-
sight. She has saved me.”
“What ! move into that barbarous
section of-the city!” exclaimed Harry,
though secretly delighted. “You’ll lose
all your fashionable friends.”
“No, Harry, none of our friends-our
acquaintances, mere calling automatons,
may think it just ground of neglect, but
I am tired enough of them already. Let
them go——I have you.”
“Bless you," was the reply, with a
look of unutterabie love, and again An-
nie felt repaid for all her sweet sacrifi-
ces.
“I saw the prettiest house today,”
she continued, “not near so large as this,
but quite large enough, the dearest little
house, and perfectly genteel, in thor-
ough repair, and twice as convenient.-
Besides, my reason for wishing to take
it is, that we shall be so near the new
church; and won know since I have had
charge of a class in the Sabbath school,
the walk seems more fatiguing.”
“But what will your parents say T”
“Nothing, of course, since it is for
my convenience, you know they are
neither of them unreasonable,”
"True 1‘ Annie, what a treasure I have
in you! To tell you the truth, these
great rooms do not look pleasant to me.
They are uusocial unless filled with com-
pany?’ -
“And these glum stoves, ’ added An-
nie,tapping one with her pretty foot,
“there is no cheerfulness about them.-—
Now many of the rooms there are fur-
nished with those dear, delightful, old
Franklin stoves, In which one can enjoy
the blaze of a wood fire——and that will
be such a lessening to our expenses that
we can afford to keep one or two wood
tires, cau’t we 3"
“Lesseuing expenses,” thought Harry
to himself. “Annie has suspected, yet
how brave and delicate she is,” and his
cheeks burned consciously, while his
heart burned at the same time with grat-
itude aud love.

nished wirh taste and elegance, it was

more comfortable than the last. To have

rious Aunie’s beautiful face was, and
how radiant Harry’s, as he looked up
sometimes from the volume he was read-
ing aloud, would fully have satisfied the
bitterest ascetic that hearth stone flappi-
ness was more sacred than fashionable.
The Debt Liquidated.
Nothing now troubled Harry but the
debt of five hundred dollars. "I'll get
an extension of time,” he thought, as
the day of payment drew near. “I am
doing so well. now, that two months

Still in deep astonishment Harry held
hi- cousin's note. ~.Every moment his
wonder grew. VVhat unknown friend
had he, thus anxious to save his credit,
thus able to do so.
In a moment the thought flashed over
his mind that Annie was his unknown
friend, his good guardian angel. But

returned home. He was silent from

“Do you want a shawl ?" hsked Har-

"No,” and Annie blushed and shook
her head, “but,” said she, “in.-‘t.ead, I'll

“Mine, or a new one ?” asked Harry.
"Yours, of course ; I want to see
what you have been doing since I gave
