MEG'S DOMESTIC ZIFEKIKSCK. concluded. Meg likewise resolved to bo "calm and kind, but firm," and show him his his duty. She longed to ran and meet him, and beg pardon and be kissed and comforted, as she was sure of being; but, of course, she did nothing of the sortjand when she saw John coming, began to hum quite naturally, as she rocked and sewed like a lady of leisure in her best parlor. John was a little disappointed not to find a tender Niobe; but feeling that his dignity demanded the first apology, he mde none only cama leisurely in, and laid himself upen the sofa, with the singularly relevant remark "We aro going to have a new moon, my dear." "I've no objection,' was Meg's equally soothing remark. . A few other topics of general in terest were introduced by Mr Brooke, and wet blanketed by Mrs. Brooke, and conversation languished. John went to one window, unfolded his paper, and wrapped himself in it figuratively speaking. Meg went to the other window, and sewed as if new rosettes for her slipper were among the necessaries of life. Neither spoke both looked quite "calm and firm," and both felt desperately uncomfortable. "Oh, dear," thought Meg. "married Mife is very trying, and doe need infinite pationco ,aa well as love, as mother says." ; V : . This was the first serious disagreement; har own hasty speeches soundboth silly and unkind, as she recalled them; her own anger looked childish now, and thoughts of John coming home to such a scene melted her heart. She glanced at him with tears in her eyes, but he did not see them; she put down her work and got Up, thinking, VI will be th'e firat to say 'forgive m8,'". bat ho did not seem to hear her; she went very lowly across the room, for pride was hard to swallow.'and s'.ooi by him, but still be did not tarn his head, for a miouta she felt as if she really couldn't do it; then came the thought. "This is the beginning; 1 11 do my part, and cave nothing to reproach myself with;" and stooging down, she softly kissed her hr.eband on the forehead. Of course that settled it; the penitent kiss w.is better than a world of words, and John had her on his kacc in a minute, saying, tenderly: "It was too bad to laugh at the poor littlo jelly pota: forgive me, dear, I never will again I" After this, Meg had Mr. Scott to dinner by special invitation, aad served him up a pleasant feast without cooked wife for the "first course; on which occasion she was so gay and gracious, that Mr. Scott told Jobn he .was a happy fellow, and shook his head over the hardships of bachelorhood all the way home. In the autumn, new . trials and experience came to Meg. b'allie Moffatt renewed her friendship, and was always running out for a dish of gossip at the little house, or inviting that "poor dear" to come in and spend the day at the big house. It was pleasant, for in dull weather Meg often felt ionely; all were bu5y at home, John absent till night, and nothing to do but sew, or read, or putter about. So it naturally fell out that Meg got into the way of gadding and cossiping with lier friend. Seeing bailie s pretty things made her long for such, and pity nerself because she tad not got them. Sillio was vary kind, and often offered her the coveted trifles, but Meg declined them, knowing John would not like it; and then this foolish little woman went and did what John disliked infinite'y worse. he knew ' her ' husband's income, and she lsved to feel that he trusted her, not only with his happiness, but what somo men seem to value more, his money. She knew where it was, was free to take what she liked, and all ho asked was that she should keep ad accent of every penny, pay bills onoo a month, and remember that she was a poor man's wife. Till now she had done well, been prudent and cxaot, kept her littlo account books neatly, and showed them to him monthly, without fear. But that autumn the serpent got into Meg's paradise, and tempted her, like many amodern Eve not with apples but with dress. Meg didn't like to be pitied aad made to feel poor: it irritated her; but Dhanm asahmed to confess it. and now and then she tried to console herself by buying something pretty, so bailie need not think she had to ecrimp. Bat triUcs cost more than one would imagine; and when she cast up her account, at the end of the month, the sum total rather scared, her. John was busy that' month, and left the bills to ber; the next month he was absent; bat the third he had a grand quaretly settling up, and Meg never forgot it. A few days before she had done a dreadful thing, and it weighed " upon her consciecc-3. Stllio had been buyina- fcilks, and Meg aoLel for a new one jast a handsomo light one for partleB her black silk was go common, and thin things for evonicg wear were only proper for girls. Auat March usually gave the (sisters a present of twenty five dollars apiece at New Year; that was only a month to wait, and here was a lovely violet silk going at a bargain, and she bad the money, if she only dared to take it. John always said that what was his was hers; but would he . think it right to spsnd not only ihe prospective five and twenty, bat another five and twenty, out of the household fund? - ThaS wa3 the qaestion. Sallie had urgel her to do it, and offered to loan tha money, and with the best intentions in lile, had tempted Meg be-, yond her strength. In an evil moment the shopman held up the lovely shimmering folds, and said,-"A bargain, I assure you, ma'am." She answered. "I'll take it;" and it was cut off and- paid for, and Sallie had united,, and she had laughed,- as t it jyaa a thing of no consequence, and driven away feeling as if she had stolen something, and the police were after her,- . . . - , y -When she not homo she tried to as suage the pangs of remorse-by spreading iorth thojovely silk ; bat it looked less silvery now; didn't become her, af ter all, and tho words "fifty dollars," 3;emed stamped like a pattern down each breath She put it away: but it haunted her, not delightedly, as a new dress should, but dreadfully, like the ghost, of a. folly that was not easily laid. When John got out his books that night, Meg's heart sank; and for the first time in her married lifo, she was afraid of her husband. The kind 'brown eyes looked as if they could be stern; and, though" he was unusually merry, she fancier! he had found her out, but didn't mean to let her know it 'The house bills were all paid, the books all in order. J ohn then praised her, and tfien, was nndo.'ng the eld poc'ket-bpok-'Which- they called the batik, when Meg, knowing that it wai quite empty, stopped hia hand, saying nrvSusly:' ; " . "You haven t seen my private expense book yet."

John ceTer tksi to soa it; but she always insisted ca his doing eo and used to enjoy hia masculine amazamcnt a the queer things women wanted, and make his giess what piping wa?, demanded fiercely , the name of a hog rce-tight, or wondered how a little thing composed of three rosebuds, a bit of velvet and a pair of strings, could possibly be a boanet, and cost fivo or six dollars. That

night he looked as though ho would like the fun of aaizzins? her figures and pretending to be horriSed at her extravagance, as he often did, being particularly proud or his prudent wife. The littlo book was brought slowly out, and laid down before him. Meg got behind his chair, under pretense of smoothing the wnakle3 out of his tired forehead, and standing there ene saia, wun tier pamo increasing with every word: "John, dear, I'm ashamed to show you my book, for I've been dreadfully extravagjnt lately. I go about so much I must have things, you know. and bauie advised me to get it, so 1 did; and my New Year's money will partly pay for it, but I was eorry after 1 d done it, tor 1 knew you d think it wrong in me. John laughed, and drew her round beside him. saying, good humoredly: "Don't go and hide, I won' beat you if you have got a pair of gillmk boots; I'm rather . proud of my wife's feet, aaddoo't mind it she does pay eight or nine dollars lor her boots, if they are good ones. That had been one of her last trifles. and John s eyes had fallen on it as he spoke. ; "Oh. what will he t-ay when he come? to that awful fifty dollars! thought Meg. with a shiver. "It is worsa tLan boots, it's a silk dress." sho said with the calmness of desperation, for she wanted the worst over. " vveu, dear, what is tha total as Mr. Mantalini says. - That didn't sound like John, and she knew ho was looking at ber with the straightforward look that she had always been ready to meet with one 83 franc till now. oho turned the page and her head at the same time, point ing to the sua that would have been bad enough without the fifty, but which was appalling to her with that added, lor a minute the room was very still; then John said but she could feel it cost him an effort to ex press no displeasure: - utir ii r . . t i . wen, i uon c Know that nity 13 much for a dress, with all the furbelows and qainnydinsles you hive to famish it off theso days." "It isn't made or trimned," sighed Meg, faintly, for a sudden recollection of the cost still to be incurred quito overcame her. "Twenty-five yards of silk seems a good deal to cover one small woman. But I've no doubt my wife will look as fine as Ned Moffat's, when she gets it on," said John dryly. "I know you are angry. John, but I can't help it; and 1 didn't mean to waste your money, and I didn't think those little things would count up so. I can't resist them when I see Sallie buying all she wants, and pitying me because I don't; I try to be contented, butit is hard, and I am so tire 1 of being poor.". , The last words were spoken so low, she thought he did not bear, them, but he did, and they wounded him deeply, for he had denied himself many pleasures for Meg's sake. She could have bitten her tonguo off the minute she said it, for John pushed the books away and got up, saying with a little quiver in his voice: "I was afraid of this; I do my best, Meg." If he had scolded her, or even shaken her, it would not have broken her h'eart like those few words. She ran to him and held him close, crying with repentant tears, "Ob; John 1 my dear, kind, hard working boy, I didn't mean it! It was so wicked, so untrue and ungrateful, how could I say it! Oh, how could I say itl" . lie was very kind, forgave her readily, and he did not utter one reproach; but Meg knew that she had done and said a thing whioh could not bo forgotten scon, although ho might never allude to it again. She had promised to love him for better for worse; and then she, his wife, had rcproached him with his poverty alter spending his earnings recklessly. It was dreadful ; and the worst of it was, John went on so quietly afterward, jast as if nothing had happend, except that he stayed in towa later, and worked at night after she had gone to cry herself to sleojp. A week of remorse nearly made Meg sick ; and tha disoovery that John had countermanded the order for his cow greatcoat, reduced her to a state of despair, which was painful to behold. lie simply said, in answer to ber surprised inquiries as to the change, "I can't afford it, my dear." Meg siid no more, but a few moments after he found her in the hall with her face burijd in the old greatcoat, crying as if her heart would break. They had a long talk that night. and,Meg learned to love her husband-better lor his poverty, because it semed to have made a man of him giving him the strength and courage to fiht his own way and taught him. a tender patience with whioh to bear and comlort the natural longings and failings of those he loved. Next day she put her pride in-htr pocket, went to Sallie, told the truth, and asked her to buy the silk as a favor. The good-Datured Mrs. Moffat willingly did so, and had the delicacy not to make her a present of it, im mediately afterward. Then Meg ordeied home the great coat, and when John arrived, she put it 00, and asked him how he liked l.er new silk gown. One can imagine the answer he made, how he received his present, and what a blissful state of things ensued. John came home early, Meg gadded no more; and that great-coat was put on in the morning by a very happy husband, and taken off at night by a most devoted little wife.
