▲ TOUVa WIFE'S SOK1CW.
BY T. S. ARTHUR.
“I don’t just like tne tone of Martha’s
letters,” said Mrs. Barton to her husband
one day Martha was a daughter who baa
been man-ied for three or four months, and
was then living several hundred miles
away from the town in which her parents
resided.
“Nor do I,” was the answer. “If Ed
ward is. id any thing, uukin I to her, i
have been greatly deceived in him.”
“There are peculiarities of character
and tempennent in every one, that only a
close intimacy can make apparent. And
Martha has these as well as Edward. It
is not improbable that something, unseen
before lias revealed itself since marriage,
and stands as a source of irritation between
them.”
Mr. Barton siglted lie was very fond
of Martha. Site bad been a pet with him
since childhood, and this separation, m
consequence of her marriage, was a great
trial. The thought of her being unhappy
pained him.
“Suppose,” he said, “that we send for
her to come home and make us a visit. It
is nearly four months since site went
away.”
“1 was going to suggest something diff
erent.”
“What?”
“A visit to Martha.”
“That will be out of the question, at
least tor me,” said Mr. Barton.
‘ I did not mean,” replied Mrs. Barton,
smilingly, “to include you in the visit.”
“O, then you propose to take all the
pleasure yourself. No, it strikes me as a
better arrangement to have Maltha pa} ns
a visit, it will do her a great deal more
good than merely to receive a visit fr»m
you. fcdie will get back, for a litltle while
into her old home, and see father and
mother both. And then 1 will come in I'm
a portion of the enjoyment, which is to he
considered.”
“I’ve thought of all that,” replied "rs.
Barton, “and yet favor the visit to Mal
tha. The reason is this, If 1 go there,
and stay a week or two, i will have an op
portunity to tee how she and Edward air
getting along together. We nnut live
with people, y ou know, to find out all about
them. Thete may be some little impedi
ments to happiness lying right in theii
path, which 1 may help them to pick up
and cast aside; some little want of adap
tation in tbe machinery of their lives,
which prevents a movement in harmony,
that 1 may show' them how to adjust.”
“I guess you are right, taking that view
of the case,” said Mr. B.
The visit of Mrs. Barton was made ac
cordingly. After tbe first brief season ot
gladness that follow ed a meeting with her
mother had passed, Martha’s countenance
showed some lines not written there by
sweet content. The mother asked no
questions, however, in tbe beginning, cal
culated to draw Martha out. She want
ed a little time lor observation. The
young husband was bright, cheerful, at
tentive and fond, as be bad appeared to
her before tbe wedding day. But on tbe
second morning alter her arrival, she no
ticed that he did not talk quite so freely
as usual at the breakfast table, and bad
something very much like a cloud ovet
tbe sunshine of his countenance. Mar
tha’s manner was a little constrained al
so, and her face a little sober. Once or
twice during tbe meal Edw ard exhibited
a feeling ot annoy ance at things not right
ly ordered.
M rs. Barton was already beginning to
see the little impediments and obstructions
to which she bad referred in talking with
her husband. But site did not encourage
Martha to speak on the subject. She
wanted to see more and undetstand tin
case better. On the third day, the cause
of trouble between Edward and Martha
—for a discordant string was jarring in tbe
harmony of their lives—became' more
clearly apparent to the mntliei. The lit
tle external iestiaint which had been as
sumed at the begitiing of her visit by
both of the young people, was gradually
laid aside, and she saw them in the real
life they were living.
The basis of the difficulty lay in tbe to
tal unfitness of Maitlia for tbe position
she had assumed—that of housekeeper we
mean. And in consequence, her young
husband, in w hose ideal of home perfect
order had been included, found every
thing so indifferent from bis anticipa
tions, that a graceful acqutesceuce was im
possible.
“1 don’t know what has ?ome over Ed
ward,” said Martha to her mother on the
morning of the fourth day, after her hus
band had left for his place of business,
iler eyes were swimming in tears, lot Ed
ward had spoken hastily and with ill na
litre at the breakiast table. “lie used to
be so kind, so gentle, so considerate of my
comlort and feelings. But be seems to be
growing more impatient and harsh in his
manner every day.”
“lias the reason of this never occurred
to you?” Mrs. Barton’s manner was
grave.
“1 can imagine no reason for the change,"
replied Marti.a.
“He is disappointed in something, evi
dent y. lie does nut find in you all he
had expected.”
“Muihei!” The young wife had a
startled look.
“It must be so, Martba, else why slmnbl
he be different from wliat he was? lie
lias had an ideal of a wile, and you have
failed to reach this ideal.”
The face of Martha which had flushed,
became almost pale.
“And 1 am free to own,” continued tbe
mother, “that you fall considerably be
low my ideal, i do not wonder at Ed
ward’s disappointment.”
Teats began to fall over the young
wife’s cheeks.
“I’m sure,” she said sobbing “that I
have been to him all that 1 know how t"
be. if love would draw upon me favors
and kindness, he wonld never look at me
as he does, sometimes, with cold eyes and
a clouded face, nor speak, in angry impa
tience, words that hurt me worse than
blows.”
“But yon have not done for him all
that you know how to do,” said Mrs.
Barton.
“I fail to comprehend you, mother,”
was replied to this.
“You do not make his home as pleas
ant as it should be. There seems to be
no anticipation of his wants, and no pro
vision against discomfort. Everything
is left to your two servants, who do pretty
much as they please.”
“Why, motbei!”
“It is true, my daughter I have
looked on with closely observant eyes
since! have been here; and murt say,
that I am disappointed in yon. In every
case that Edward has shown impatience
in my presence, the source of annoyance
lay in yonr neglect of a plain household
duty. It was so this morning; and so
yesterday.”
“Be was annoyed at tbe burnt steak
this morning,” said Martha, in answer.
“That wasn’t my fault, 1 am sure. I’m
not the cook.”
“It is yonr place to have a competent
cook,” said Mrs, Barton.
“If I can find one mother ”
“Tbe one you have now is not to be
trusted to prepare a meal.”
“I know that, but how can I help my
self?
“And knowing that you never went
near the kitchen to see. that she did not
spoil the steak intended for your hus-
liand’s breaktast. It might have taken
you ten or fifteen minutes to superintend,
personally, the preparation of this morn
ing meal, and so made it worthy of I e-
ing set before your husband; but, instead
of this, you sat reading or talking, from
tbe time you were dressed until tbe bell
rang. When we went down, there was
□o butter on the table; no knife and fmk
to tbe dish of meat,; no salt; nor any nap
kin at your husband’s plate. The table
cloth was soiled, and you scolded the
waiter for not putting on a clean one.
The meal opened in disorder, which you
might have prevented by a little fore
thought, and progressed and ended in an
noyance and bad feeling. Now, who was
to blame for all this?”
“But. mother, you don’t expect me to
go into tbe kitchen and cook?” said Mar
tba.
“The. captain who undertakes to sail a
ship, must know all about navigation. Is
it mote unreasonai le to expert tha a wo
man who takes upon beiself tbe obliga
tions of a wife, should know bow to con
duct a household? Is a woman less re
sponsible in her position than a man? *f
so, what moral laws give the distinction?
1 have not seen them, ’i be captain does
not trust the ship wholly to the man at
tbe liclm. He takes observations, exam
ines cbaits, and sees and knows for him
self that everything is done at the right
time and in the light place. His thought
and bis will are active and predominant
in every pait of the ship, for ou him tests
all the responsibility. And it is so ever,
where in man's wotk. Y T ott ask it I ex
pent you to go into the kitchen aud cook?
1 answer yes. in case there is no one else
to prepare } our husband's food. 11 you
have an incompetent cook, or one not to
be trusted, then it is } our d it ty to make
up her deficiencies by a personal atlen-
liritice in the kitchen just as often and just
as long as tbe case may require. You
contracted to do this when you became a
wife.”
“I don’t remember that tbe subject
was even referred to,” said Martha, who
did not \ et see c early; and who felt
that her mother’s view of the case actual
ly degraded the wife into a household
drudge.
“VVas it stipulated,” answered Mrs.
Barton, “that Edward should engage in
business, giving himself up to daily care
and work, in order to secure for his wife
tbe comforts of a home? I don’t remem
ber that the subject was even referred to.
And yet it was as much implied in tbe
act of taking a wife, as tbe other w as im
plied in the act of assuming tbe relation
that you now hold. L>o yon suppose for
a moin?nt, that he isn’t active in every
part of his business? T hat be trusts an
incompetent clerk, as you trust an incom
petent cook? Thought, purpose, bands,
are all busy in bis work, and busy
throughout every day, busy for you as
well as for himself He can’t find time
for leading during four or five hours ot
every day, nor time for calls on pleasant
friends; no, no. His work would suffer
—losses might follow; and comfort and
luxury fail tor the wife be. toils for. But
this wife is too indolent, or too proud to
go down into her kitchen and see that bis
f od is made palatable and healthy; to be
present in all parts of his household, with
taste, order, neatness, economy and clean
liness. I don’t wonder that he is disap
pointed and dissatisfied.”
Martha’s peiceptjons wo re beginning to
be a little enlightened, the did not make
any reply.
“Let me tell you bow ] have found it
in yonr badly managed household,” re
sumed tbe mother. “Perhaps, seeing
through my eyes, may help you to a bet
ter appreciation of things as they actually
are. Twice, since I have been here,
there has been no water in my room, and
1 have bad to come down in tlie morning,
and get it for myself.”
“Uh mother! That is too bad! To
think that Margaret should have been so
careless!” The daughter’s face crim
soned.
“Now, if you bad been a careful house
keeper, or a thoughtful one, you would
have visited my chamber, to see that all
was right there. You would never have
left your mother’s comfort dependant on
tbe unceitain administration of a set taut
Next, the room hasn't been dusted twite
since I have been here. My fingers ate
soiled with evetj thing I touch; aud 1 am
sUte it hasn’t been swept under the bed or
bureau tor a month. But, this only afl'ects
youi guests—is only so much taken from
their cuifort. Let us look to somethings
that involve the comfort of your husbauo;
(or these are of highest consideration. You
asked him yesteioay morn'tig to get you
some pink-lined envelopes, lie biouglit
ibein at dinner time. He asked you to
dam a tent in a black alupaca coat, so
that be could wearit. Did you do as be
requested. No, you read, and toyed with
tine ueedlawoik all tbe morning, but nev
er touched llie coal; and when be asked
tor it, wha reply did you make. Oh,
you hated darning above all things! and
told hi ui he'd better direct his tailor to
send lor it. The day had become unusu
ally warm, and lie hail to go out atierriin-
i.er, w earing a thick clot h coat, just be
cause you had aitin st wilfully neglected
t<> perform so 1 glit a service tor your hus
band. Do you imagine that be never
thought ot y our failure to do for him what
he bad asked? That he didn’t feel your
indifference to his comfort? Your kiss,
depend upon it, Martha, touched bis lips
coldly; and your loving words, if any
were spoken, were as sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal in bis ears. He looked
past all lip affirmations, and saw the fail
ure in deed.
“And failure in deed seems to he the
rale under your administration of his
househo d, instead of the exception.
Most especially is this the case in what
appertains to the diningroom and kitchen
The meals are always badly cooked and
badly setved. The slovenliness with
which Margaret sets tbe table, is a
disgrace to bet self, and a standing re
buke to her mistress. I havn’t seen
a really clean dish—as I regard clean
ness—since 1 have been here. Nor a
clean kniie or fork. Your cruet stand is
offensive to the eye. There ts a smeared
mustard bottle, with a smeared spoon—a
ketchnp bottle with half an inch of tomato
ketchup at tbe bottom, and an oil bottle
empty. Pepper and Vinegar bottles I
will not describe. The ernet stand itself
is as dark as lead; aud tbe napkin rings
and spoons not much better.”
“Pray, stop mother!” said Martha, in
terposing, with a face rather nearer to
scarlet than white.
“No; 1 must say a word or two farther.
Can such things be, and escape yonr hus
band’s observation? Can such things be.
and not prove a daily offence and annoy
ance to him? Can such things be, and
not irritate him, at times into unkindness?
He would be more than mortal, my child
were be temper-proof against assaults
upon good nature, like these,”
Martha was not a fool—though there
are too many in her position, we are sorry
to say, to whom the word moat significant
ly applies. She saw through her moth
er’s clearer vision, the blindness in which
she had been, and the folly of her defec
tive household administration; saw that,
in bolding herself above domestic duties
and manipulations, she was governed more
by pride and indolence than a just regaro
for wifely or womanly dignity; saw that,
to hold fast her husband's love, she must
do something more for him than offer lov
ing words; for, life being real and earnest
demanded earnest work trom all—from
tbe delicate wife as well as from the more
enduring husband.
On tbe next morning, as Edward lifted
iiis cup to his lips, he said, with a smile of
plensnre:
“What fine coffee, Martha! I don’t
know when I have tasted anything so de
licious. Your handiwoik, 1 infer?”
And Edward looked from his wife to
her mother.
“No, replied Mrs. Barton; “it is none
of my handiwork.”
"But it’s mine,” said the young wife
who could not keep back tbe acknowl
edgment—her pleasure in seeing her bus
bands pleasure was so great.
Y ts?” Edward set down his enp, and
looked across tbe table in real su.prise.
Yes mine. 1 made the coffee this rnorn-
“You did? Well, as I said, is delicious!
I wouldn’t give this cup ot coffee for all
the stuffthat has been made in the house
sit.ee we entered it.”
The steak was praised next.
“Did you cook this also?” asked the
husband.
“1 superintended the work,” was an
swered.
“It is only necessary for some people
to look at things and they will come all
right,” said Edward, “and 1 shouldn't
wonder, Martha, it you belonged to tbe
number.”
There was a compliment and a reproof
in the sentence, and both were felt.
“Do i need to say another word, my
daughtet?” said Mrs. Barton, when she
was alone with Martha again.
“1 think not, mother,” was answered.
“Since our talk yesterday I have been
looking at my place as a young wife,
from a new stand point, and I find that I
have not understood my duties. But they
are very plain now; and t sLall not need
another reminder. Young gills fall into
some strange notions about a wife’s condi
tion. They think of it as something
more ornamental than useful; as iuvestid
with more queenly dignity than a homely
administration of service in the bouseholti
Hie is to be loved, and petted, and cared
for with untiring devotion and tenderness;
but caring for her husband, in the unat
tractive uses of a family, in the kitchen
if need be, does not enter some imagina
tions as a thing at all included in the
relation of husbaod and wife.”
“And coldness, irritation, ill-nature,
and too often alienations, are the conse
quence,” said Mrs. Barton. “You felt a
'change in your husband. Did not the
cause present itself?”
“Noi until you pointed it out tome.”
“Dan it be possible that you were so
blind, my daughtet?”
“I was just so blind, mother!”
“Do you wonder that Edward was an
noyed at times?”
“I wonder that he had so much for
bearance,” was the reply. “1 wonder
that be did not speak out plainly, and tell
me my duty.”
"You migh* not have understood him.”
said Mrs. Barton. “He could not have
said all that 1 have said. There would
have been the appearance of a selfish re
gard for his own comtort. Young wives
do not always understand a husband’s re
proving words, which aie more apt to
blind than to enlighten; for they are usu
ally spoken under the impulses of chafed
teelings It is better, therefore, that 1
should have helped you to see clearly in a
matter involving so many consequences.”
Thomas TarkackH n Present to the Preacher.
BY J. A. TURNER.
Thomas Tarbucket is a man eminently
“pious”—in bis way !
Whether bis name was originally Tar-
1,ticket or not, 1 am unable to aver. Suf
fice it to say, he has borne this name since
1 knew him : and Hod wot 1 have no dis
position to know him any more intimately
ihan I have, nor to have known him any
longer than 1 have—in older to loim a
pit 'r estimaie of his piety
'i here certainly is a rumor that Thomas
once did not bear the name of Tarbucket.
It is said, (by bis enemies who persecute
him for righteousness sake.) that Le got
ilie appellation of Tarbucket alter this
wise, to wit : He once owned a wood-shop,
in which he had repaired old carts, wag
ons, &c. His neighbor, Josiah Dun
woody, bad a cart which he wished re
paired. The axle was bioken and a new
one bad to be put in. '1 bon as could, and
wonld, have it done in as workmanlike
and cbiistianlike manner as any one. He
uidn’t want any money—just enough to
pay actual expenses. He only wanted to
do good—the pious fellow !
Well, tbe new axle was made for the
cart, and when neighbor Dunwoody came
to take it home, it was urcessary to have
just a little tar upon it, to make the wheel
tun smoothly: The tar-bucket stood neat
by, aud Josiah took out the paddle and
sligbriy greased the axle. When he came
to pay his bill, Thomas had him charged
to one item somewhat as follows :
"Jan. 15,18—. 'J o one dip from
the tar-bucket, $00,06^”
This appeared to Josiah very mean anti
niggardly. He thought that if Thomas
must have the six-and a-qnarter extra.be
had better have charged that lunch addi
tional for the axle. This would have ap
peared broader, and would not have ex
posed the extreme temerity of I homas’s
little soul. The enemies of Thomas say
that he eould not have acted differently.
He only acted out bis nature. His friends
say. that even admittingtbat the occurrence
narrated actually happened, it was only
an evidence of the extreme honesty ot
* bourns. He could not, consistently with
honor, charge the tbrip extra on tbe axle,
when it went to Ihe debit side of the ledg
er, not for tbe axle, but for the little, small
dip of tar. I e on.y charged actual ex
penses anywav, and. long before Gov.
Biown had published his treatise on bonk
keeping, conscientiously kept his hooks
balanced to the quarter of a cent. This
1
was wIimi uiouc nun can.to tue Cfcitp tor
the tar, inatead of <i> a naif dime Bis
one great desire *«, t» do good, even to a
quarter of » ceat.
Thus I have shown what the enemies of
Mr. Tarbneket nay about bis name. They
say that after the charge made agat at
Josiah Dunwoody, Thomas, by comm- h
consent, came to be called Tarbueket. I
have also show n what is said by his friern l
concerning this occurrence. They say t
never happened: or, if it did. it is suset j -
title of glorious explanation upon >’ •
broad and eulightened principles by tLtm
set forth.
So much for Mr. Tarbucket's name.—
Now for bis piety. He has a way of wear
ing a long face, talks with a sort ot wha e
through his pious probosis, and is the murt
meek, inoffensive man on earth. Notwitl -
standing his serious air, he has the most
engaging, winning smile, imaginable. Ha
always meets you with a grin. Some ona
once told me that Thomas said it was
necessary fora man to be a little decep
tive. or deceitful, or something of tbe sort:
it would take him through life so muih
more easily. But I guess my informant
misunderstood Thomas at this point.—
Surely the soul of honor, honesty, and re
ligion, couki never have ottered such s
sentiment.
Tarbucket’s smile has, by some, been
called a hypocritical smile. But this
calumny is too coutemptible to need ref
utation.
it is narrated that old brother Tompkin*
once said that be wished Thomas Tar
bucket wonld quit sitting by him at
church, or quit going so much like a
screech-owl, one of the two. But 1 guess
brother Thompkins never said so—-or else
his indignaiiom got the better of his Chris
tian charity. Bnt what did brother
Tompkins mean, if he did say what it
is alleged he did/ ^Vr hy, he had refer
ence to a habit which 'Tarbucket has of
groaning in a sort of whining tone, all the
time of divine service. Well, the truth is,
the noise he makes does sound marvellous
ly like the voice of the screech-owl: but
then brother 'Thompkins ought never to
have been so wicked as to say so, particu
larly w hen Tarbucket’* groaning is nothing
but tbe overflowing of pure and unadulter
ated piety.
Thomas Tarbucket is a class leader in
bis church. Year before last he bad a
new preacher sent him. Every one was
anxious to help fix up the preacher and
ihe parsonage. Some gave their minister
one thing, and some another. Some sent
c.hickei s, some sent tin kies, some a barrel
of floor, and some a bag of meal. Tar-
bncket’s present was a sow. 1 he preach
er would want to raise a few pigs while he
remained at Wlritenak Chapel, and so the
grit of the sow came in \eiy apmspes.
Everybody spoke of what a fine sow 1 rother
Tarbucket had given brother Ramsay, the
minister. Brother Ramsay was truly
thankful for it, and so was sister Ramsay.
But by aud by. when the bens which
Lad been given sister Ramsay, had
hatched ont some fine broods of chickens,
what should Taibucket’s fine present do
but incontinently devour the whole of
them 1 Not a chicken could sister Ram
say save, on account of tLe chicken-eating
propensity of 'Tarbucket’s old sow. 1 say
old sow, because as soon as it was discov
ered that she was a chicken-eater, instead
of being called a fine sow. sire was known
as Tarbucket’s old chicken-eating sow,
with which he had cheated the pieacher.
Epon the death of her chickens, sister
Ramsay became very indignant, seut off
and procured a gun, and had the old sow
murdered. » rother Ramsay complained
of the way in which he had been cheat
ed, to old brother (Jroome—told him how
much he had thought of brother Tarbuck
et—how thankful he was f»r the sow—how
much brother 'Tarbucket had pinfessi d to
have his interest at heart—how much he
w*>u!d do for him—and then to send him
that old, chickeu-eaiiug sow—it was out
rageous !
“Ah !” said old brother Croome, “you
will find out, brother Ramsay, before you
have been here very long, that there is a
great deal of talk in Tom Tarbucket, but
mighty little eider!”
But you see old man Croome was pre-
jndiced against the class-leader, and ought
never to have spoken such blasphemy
against so sacred and divine a personage as
'1 homas Tarbucket.
Upon investigating tbe matter it was
found ont that 'Tarbucket knew his sow
was a chicken-eater, and gave her to the
preacher for that very reason. Borne
wicked and malevolent people were so
lost to all sense of decency as to say that
Tarbucket tried to cheat God and the
preacher both. He was expected to give
brother Ramsay something, and by giving
him the cbicken-eating sow. he could thus
rid himself of a nuisance, and make the
preacher a present at the same time.
But such was not tbe case. Admitting
that he gave the preacher the sow because
she was a chicken-eater, his conduct is
susceptible of explanation upon high, hon
orable. praiseworthy, and religious prin
ciples.
If Tarbucket had not given the pieacher
the chicken-eating sow, the preacher
w »u!d Lave raised too many chickens.—
'Then his parishioners would not have had
an opportunity of showing their Christian
liberality by giving him part o' tlieir chick
ens: and, in the next place, brother Ram
say instead of going ronud to eat fried
chicken with the sisters, would have stay ed
at home to eat his own chickens, thus cut
ting off' many • t the pastoral visits wLich
he wonld have distributed among his
neighbors, for tbe purpose of eating fried
chicken, and doing good.
When 1 arbucket's conduct concerning
tbe sow is susceptible of explanation upon
such obvious principles of right, and jus
tice, it affords another glaring example of
the deep depravity of poor, tallen, human
nature, that there were'persons found so
lost to shame as to misconstrue the motive
of the divine Tin-mas 'Tar bucket, in giving
• he preacLer the chicken-eating sow. No
one can he so pure as to be above sus
picion.
Another evidence of how the wicked
persecute the righteous is to Le found in
the following:
There was a factory boy who, from
some cause, very much d sliked the meek
and lowly Tarbucket. Upon being told
of ibe occurrence concerning tbe sow, be
spoke as follows:
“I had a dream the other night. I
thonght 1 was at tbe place where they
were moulding men. I he 4*ing who
handling the moulds cried out for more
mortar, 'ihe hod-carriers told him that
all the mortar was gone. “’Then.” said
he. “I will put in the leavings of all crea
tion, and make it into the shape of a man.”
He did so. and when he turned it ont,
“1 bat.” said he, “1 call Thomas Tarbuck
et.”
