‘Where' are you going, Geo'rgel’ asked
Mrs. Wilson, as her husband rose from
the tea- table, and tack his hat. -
_‘Oh, I’m going Out,’ was the careless
response.
'But where?’ asked his wife. _
‘But what odds does it make, Emma?’
returned her husband. ' ‘I'shall bobock
at my usual time. ’
The young wife hesitated, and a quick
flush overspread her face. She seemed
to have made . up her mind to speak
plainly on a' subject which had loin un-
easily upon her heart for Some time, and
she could not let the oppOrtuuity pass.
It required an effort, but, she persevered.
'Let me tell you what odds it makes
to me,’ she said," in a kind but tremolous
‘If I cannot have your company
"here at home, I should as least feel much
better if I knew where you were}.
‘But you know that I am safe, Emmo;
and what more can you ask?’
‘I do not know that you are safe,
Geoige. I know nothing about you
when you are away.’
‘Pooh, pooh! Would you have it that
I am not capable of taking care of my-
- self?’
‘You put a wrong construction upon
my words, George. Love is always anx-

I did not" love you as I do, I might not
be thus uneasy. When you are at your
place of business I do not feel thus, be-_
cause I know I can seek a'ud find you ot
any moment; but when you are absent
during these long evenings, I get to won-

another, until I feel troubled and uneasy.

‘Aud haven’t we got 0110, Emma?’
‘Wo have certainly a place 111 which to

sively.
‘Aud,’ he added, with 8. sort of confident
flourish, ‘home vs the wife’s peculiar pro
viuce. She has the charge of it, and all
her w0rk' 18 there; while the duties of the
husband call him to other scenes.’
‘Well, I admit that, 80 for as certain
duties are concerned,’ replied Emma.
‘But you must remember that we both
need relaxation from labor; we need time
for social and mental improvement and
this save our evenings? Why should not
this be my home of an evening, as well on
the daytime and in the night?’
‘Well, isn’t it?’ asked George.
‘How can it be when you are not here?
What makes a home for children, if it be
not the abode of the parental What
home can o husband have where there is
no wife? And what real home comforts
can a wife enjoy where there is 110 bus-

long evenings. They are the very aco-
sous when I am at leisure to enjoy your
companionship, and when you would be
at leisure to enjoy mine, if it is worth on-
joying. They are the seasons when the‘
happiest hours of home-life might be
passed. Como, will you not spends few

the husband, lightly.
