UNDERWOOD, Guardian dt Agant. January 8th, 180. 389L ▲ 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.” March 17th, 1861.
