Ii was tt cold dismal evening in November, that two laborers might have been seen wending their way along the streets of a large manulac turing town. Slowly they proceeded, with de jected countenances, not exchanging a word until the one whom we shall call Smith, hailed before a neat lit tle house and unlatched the gate. — Then there was such a look of utter misery and despair gleaming from his eyes, that his companion mur mured, “We must trust in God, Smith.” ■“Yes,” he articulated gloomily, and going to the cradle took up the six weeks’ old baby, and sorrowful ly pressed it to his heart. •and do wish you would put that child down and gel ready for sup per,” exclaimed his wife, after en during his gloominess lor some time. lie slowly obeyed, and then seat ed himself at the table with a sigh. “What in the world is ihe mailer with you to-night ?” she asked, as she sat down opposite him. His voice trembled as he replied, “I suppose you might as well know first as last. I have, been discharg ed.” “There!” exclaimed his wile quickly, pushing hack her chair ; “just what 1 might have expected ! I’d like to know what we are going to do now. Winter coming on arid all. I declare, Smith, you will tor ture me to death.” “Sorry ! No, you are not sorry at all. You would just as liefseeyoun wife and children starve as not. It’s nothing in ihe world but your poor managing.” “Lydia, you are cruel. Instead ol helping me to endure my great trouble, which is hearing me down to die very earth, you make it ten times harder for me to bear. 1 was not the only one discharged. There was Jim Ilawley and ever so many others. Business is dull.” “Business is dull!” she mimicked after him. “Always an excuse for a worthless man. To think that you should be discharged now, just as our rent is due ; and then we are out of wood ; and look-at my shoes, won’t you ? rny feet almost on the ground. I wish I had never mar ried you,” and a dark look accom panied the last words. The poor husband now covered his face with his hands and groaned aloud. This seemed to encourage his wife to go on ; for she uttered words more and more bitter, until at last, driven al most to a state of freenzy, the wretched man rushed from the house to the tavern, and there sought to bury the thoughts of the past and fu ture in the rum cup. In the meantime James Hawley, his companion in labor, entered his home with a very sad countenance. But before he had stepped over the threshhokl a loving pair of arms were thrown around his neck and a pair of sweet lips were pressed to his.— He returned the salutation sadly, and then enquired for the baby. “She is sleeping sweetly in her cradle. She has been a perfect lit tle darling all day. Supper is wait ing, so make haste. Here is warm water and a towel. Are you not later than usual to-night ?” “Yes, Mary; I bring bad news to you.” “Bad news!” she exclaimed, turn ing pale as, for the first time, she no ticed that something was wrong. “Yes, I was discharged to-night, and I do not know as I can get any thing to do before spring. Business is so dull. “Is that all ?” asked his wife, with a sigh of relief. I thought it was something terrible enough ? What will become of us this winter, if I am out of employment ?” “The same God who feeds the sparrow and clothes the lilies in the field, will not let us suffer, dear James.” “God bless you, dear Mary.— There is sweet comfort in your words.” “And now let us have supper,” axel aimed his, wife, cheerfully.— “See, I have your favorite dish— shortcake and toast. Do not let your troubles impair your appetite, and then, after tea, will talk it over. God doeth everything for the best. And as our day, soshall our strength be.” In the evening it was determined that the quarter’s rent should be paid immediately, anew supply of coal obtained, and the remaining portion of the money placed in the wife’s hands to be dealt out as spar ingly as possible. Then Mary suggested that all her pretty parlor furniture should be put away in the garret, and the front room let out. Further than this they could lay no plans, and as the husband went out to pay the rent, the luiure looked so datk to the young wife that she could nut altogether restrain hei tears; but seeking stiength from on high, her face wore the same clvertul smile when her husband relurnt and, and lit tle did be know that during all that night long, while he and his baby were soundly sleeping, his wife lay awake planning out the future. Three months h ave passed with out a day’s work all that time, and now another quarter's rent is due. In vain ihe laborer thrusts his hands into his empty pockets, and in vain racks his brains for some solution of i/ie problem how the rent is to be paid. The lodger had paid his money monthly, but then tint was not enough to meet the sotn, if he had it, and of course his wife had spent that as fast as she had receiv ed it, and it was an everyday won der to James how Mary managed so well. .With feelings of deep despair he entered the house. The table was spread with the same favorite dish. There was the shortcake and toast, flanked with a golden lump of but ter, a plate of honey, and a deep dish of roasted apples to be served with sugar and cream, while at his wile’s plate sat the steaming tea pot. As James took it in, alt at one glance, he greatly wondered at the frugal yet comfortable way of living. How his wife had been able to make the small amount ot money last so long was a mystery to him and yet he could not help wishing inwardly that she had been more economical; then, perhaps, the rent might have been paid, and he felt that it would be belter to have subsisted on one crust of bread rather than be turned out doors homeless. lie refused to sit at the table plead ing that he had no appetite. And a large tear arose in the strong man’s eyes as he informed his wife that on the morrow they would be turned from their home, to go he knew not where, as he had not a dollar in his pocket to secure them a romn else where. “Is that itexclaimed his wife, in a soli tone, and tripped up stairs, and soon returned and placed two len-dollar bills in his hand. “Where did you get them ?” he asked eagerly, turning them over on his hands as though to ascertain whether they were really genuine or not. “I earned them,” replied his wife, gaily. “I knit afghans, shawls, chil dren’s hoods, sacques and socks; at first only for those whom I provi dentially heard wished articles of the kind, and afterwards was em ployed to furnish a trimming estab lishment with my work.” “And kept it a secret from me?” “Yes, because 1 thought you would be worried for fear I was doing too much. I love to knit dearly, and consider it more of pleasant pastime than labor.” “God be praised for giving me such a wife !” exclaimed her hus band earnestly; and pressing his wife and child closely to his bosom, said : “Her children rise up and call her blessed ; hei husband also ; for many daughters have done virtuous ly, but thou excellest them all.” Twenty years have passed, and James Hawley is a rich man. But Joseph Smith is a confirmed drunk ard, while his wife has long since passed from earth, a victim of mise ry and want. Why will not wives assist their husbands to bear their trials with helping hands and hearts ? If they would but do so, how many families would be saved from ruin, and how sweet would be their reward, not only upon earth but in heaven. From The South. SOUTHERN CHARACTER. We gave some reasons last week why the Southern people possessed a more unified and harmonious char acter than those of other sections of our country, but we did not particu larize these characteristics, intend ing to return again to the subject. They are a generous people. Liv ing in a country where nature yields her gifts with a bounteous hand, growing rich from the prolific pro ducts of the land, havingan abun dance, the Southerners’ home has always been synonymous with hos pitality, and their large-hearted and generous disposition furnished an ever ready means of their identifica tion wherever they travelled. There is nothing little or mean in theircom position. They are an honorable people.— Among business men the credit of Southern merchants has always ranked first, and even under the terrible wreck of fortunes brought about by the war, that credit has been maintained with wonderful steadfastness. It is a very rare thing for a Southern merchant— “one to the manner born,” to j seek to defraud his creditors. In their transactions amongst them-1 selves the credit system formerly at tained proportions which it never could have done with people Un scrupulous concerning their pecuni ary obligations. They arc an honest people. Such a thing as tho stealing of public mon eys through political party machina tions was an unknown thing in any of the Southern Stale Governments until since the close of the war, and the standard of mercantile honors was so high in most of the Southern cities that a man’s word was as good as his bond and one who failed to com ply with it, was as rigidly excluded from mercantile circles as he would be here (New York) from the jMvi leges of the Stock Boat d'under simi lar circumstances. And it is only since the changed condition of affairs in the South that it has been thought necessary to provide- more than the most'ordinaty precautions against the visits of burglars or thieves. We have left our doors wide open or un locked for months at a time in one of the principal Southern cities, without having the least apprehenson of a visit from a ihiel. Wo could noi recommend the same course there now. Even (luring the war, when the temptations to dishonest practices were so great, very few instances occurred of peculations or defalca tions amongst the public officials of the Confederate Government. The demoralization which sweptoverour entire country, as a result of the late civil war, touched more lightly the South than it did other sections. They are a cultivated people. We are aware that this declaration may not meet with as ready an as sent as the previous ones; but we know whereof we affirm, and we mean it to its fullest legitimate con clusions. YYe have enjoyed oppor tunities of comparing the’ intellectu al, moral and social culture of the Southern people with that of ether sections, and. as a Southerner, are entirely satisfied with the result. There is a degree of true refinement ot manners, based upon and grow ing up from a proper educational, social and religious system of train ing, for which all the" best < haruc- terislics ot her people are favorable, to be found amongst the Southern people alone of all the people of this country. In no other section will be found better educated men and women, in the true sense of the term, better schools and colleges for this purpose, better read people, more earnest and thoughtful men, more polished and refined women, more eloquent and effective public speak ers, more conscientious and devoted Christians, than in the South. Our readers may think it immod est to speak thus in praise of our selves, but really it has been com mon so long to hear every one speak ill of the South, to think and say that no good was in her, that her people were heathens, or uncivilized des peradoes, and to talk of the superi ority of other portions of the coun try, that we arc determined to re main silent no longer; but shall, so far as we have the means to do so, spread abroad the truth about the noblest people and the most magnifi cent country that the world con tains, and if our word reaches homes where there may be aspirations for life amongst such a people, and in such a country, we can in all ear nestness assure them, going with such feelings, such a hearty wel come and a cordial greeting as will prove the truth and sincerity of our declarations. From the Southern Pretbylerian. My Creed. I believe that a religion that will not make a man happy in this world, will not make him happy in any other world. I believe there is no piety at all in a long face, any more than in a long nose. I believe that Christ and His peo ple have a better right to the good things of this world, than the devil and his people. I believe that a minister of the gospel has as good a right to drive a fast horse, and wear a fashiona ble coat, and eat a good dinner, as any other sinner. I believe there is more religious ness in the Church, than there is true religion. I believe that the man who won’t trust his business to God, won’t trust him with His soul. 1 believe there is no overplus of honesty anti fair dealing among pro fessors of religion. I believe that a great deal of what is called evangelical religion in this day, is no better than the Pharisee ism of our Saviour’s time. 1 believe that the man who does not know that he is a Christian is in a very bad way. I believe there is more devotion showed, in many a country ehureb, to fashion and manners, than to the Lord. I believe that the outfit of one No. 39 girl, lora communion occasion, often costs more than all the money given by the whole congregation into the Lord’s treasury. I believe that the salary paid to many a faithful pastor is less than what is given by the same people for whiskey and patent medicines. I believe that generally a minister had belter be in his study preparing food for bis people on next Sabbath! than going about condoling with" every old woman who has cracked her sugar-bowl; or some old fogy who beleives that these are the very worst times that ever were. I believe that the poor widow, who cast her two mites into the treasury of the Lord, had more real happiness than all the millionaires in New York city ever expeiienced. I believe it is foolish to expect in children the gravity that is proper in great-grandfathers. 1 believe that to encourage young people in amusements that are inno cent, is the best preservative from those lhat are vicious. I believe that Christian people have to do with secuiarilies as well as sanctities. 1 believe, at the propef time and place, there is no sin in a good joke, or a sparkle of wit, or a bubble of humor. I believe there is sometimes more virtue in a heariy laugh, than in a box of pills. 1 believe that debt is a sin and a shame, and a source of a thousand miseries in Christian people. I believe thal nothing is so sure to end in disaster, as an attempt to rob God. I believe that he cannot be a healthy Christian who gives less than the Jews gave a thousand years before Christ came. I believe there is wealth enough among our Southern Presbyterian people to increasej.be present ave rage rate of giving among them ten fold ; and, if they would thus give, they would lie ,r happier than they are or than t • are likdy ever to be. * n vet has and '■ ’o e that are mns to sup i'«rt ; ' I b< fd ul of ignornm-o ■ .. who preach the gospd, u .. oat the gospel realy is. I believe that no man can make his own heart better by all the patch ing and tinkering he can bestow upon it; and that bis only safely is in getting a new heart. 1 believe that sinners are saved, not 6y using the means of grace, or reforming their lives, but by be lieving the gospel. I believe that the man who tries to believe, or tries to do anything else to recommend himself to God, is working on a treadmill, and will never make any progress. I believe that all doing and all try ing to do something as a means to secure God’s mercy is contrary to faith, and will end in death. I believe that the true Christian is already pardoned and already saved, and a knowledge of this fact is his joy and his strength. I believe that a minister can no more preach instructively without laborious study, than my lamp will" continue to burn without being re plenished with oil. I believe that the language in which the gospel should be preach* ed, is the language which people use every day around their firesides and in their business, and not the—- to them—unknown tongue of the schools and books. I believe that one of the best rules for making sermons is the utter dis regard of all rules. 1 believe that red tape and a want of common sense have wrought a world of mischief in the Church. I believe that this is a pretty good sort of a world after all; and lhat it is a blessed thing to live and work and suffer here if these are done for Christ. I believe that the man who is not hated and slandered by somebody is not of much account. I believe that he who is always whining about tha hard times and bis personal troubles is a disgrace to Christianity. I believe that the first step towards repairing a broken fortune is to make a generous offering to the Lord. I believe that the “wisdom of this world” is as much at fault in managing money matters, a3 in devising a scheme of salvation. 1 believe that decided convictions and their feat less expression will command respect even from the bitterest opponents.
