Show Published every Wednesday and Saturday. The Husband's L,enon. BY. MISS LOTTIE BROWH. CONCLUDED. At last, Sabbath carao. After a miser' able breakfast, Mr. Allen began to pre pare f.ir church. ' II iv'cu't I a clean shirt, Mary ?" ! don't know. Ask Bridffet?" Bridget was called, and noon made her appearance with the desired article. "Mary, there isn't a single button on it." "Well, get a needle and thread and new them on. Mr. Allen dropped the garment, and looked at hie wife. She was as cairn as though nothing had happened, and Mr. Allen went to work, muttering: "Pretty work this, for a man like me, sitting here sewing buttons on my shirt on a tiun day morning! Confound that needle, X have nearly killed myself with it; and there goes the thread! That's the third time I have broken my thread. Here, Mary, Mary, I say!" There was no Mary to be found at that moment, so he pulled and jerked away, until the buttons were restored to their former places, after a fashion, and he was soon in the parlor, ready for church, and waiting patiently for the appearance of Mrs. Allen. Just as the first bell rang, that lady wept into the room. Mr. Allen had of late resolved to be surprised at nothing; "but the sight that met his gaze made him forget his resolution entirely. Mrs. Allen's costume was generally marked by its neatness and simplicity. y she was radiant in a rich blue silk dress, white crape shawl, and a bonnet that threw Mrs. Fitz.'s far in the shade. Mr. Allen was, perhaps, the proudest man that ever stepped into church, as he walked up the aisle with his lovely wife. He looked around with an air that seemed to say, "I can dress my wife, and have her look equally as fate as Fitzgerald's." There were no questions asked as they walked home, although Mr. Allen wondered what had come over his wife. Dinner was the same disorderly meal that it had been for the past week, and Allen's patience was nearly worn out. Matters grew worse, day after day. Mrs. Allen went shopping and making calls, leaving her astonished children und Bridget to do the best they could, Mr. 'Allen was almost crazy, and he went home night after night, and found Ms once neat, quiet home transferred into a careless, disorderly household, where confusion reigned supreme. Thus matters stood for some time, when one morning as he went down town, he stepped into Lake & Co.'s dry goods store, for some little article. As he turned to go out, a voice greeted him with: "Here, Allen, here's a bill for ou." "For mo!" said Allen, turning around and facing Mr. Lake. "Yes. No particular hurry about it, only I knew you were rather particular about paying your bills, so thought I'd just mention it to you." "Certainly," said he, taking the bill. It did not take him long to solve this mystery. A white crape shawl, fifteen yard of blue silk, cambric, muslin, gloves and trimmings, swelled the amount up to a good sum. He took the bill, and promistd to send the money around in the course of the day, and then turned his footsteps homeward. Mrs. Allen was at home. "Why, Charles, what brings you home at this hour!" This." And he placed the bill in Iier lap. "Why, this is nothing but Lake's To-da- bill." "I know it, but what does it all mean! I want to know what this all means, and why our once happy home is transformed into a scene of disorder and tlovenltness. "Charl.s, I have been waiting for this patiently, and so I am prepared to answer. One month ago, our home was as bright and happy as any in town. You were not satisfied. You began by bringing Mrs. Fitzgerald into all our conversation, and holding her up as a perfect model of ft woman. I tried to reason with you, and mak you understand that no woman in her oiroumstances could foetid her timo and money in tha way hlie did, and still have a neat and pleasant home. You did not believe me, and 1, who value my husband's happiness ubove all else, resolved to teach you your error. You have seen how it is. I nave dtvssed and spent my time as Mrs. Fitzgerald does, and you have seen the result, and 1 hops you are convinced. If you are not, I will still live and epcud my time in making myself 'beautiful,' and you and the children can do as you have for the paBt month." "Heaven forbid!" And Mr. Allen took ihe liUle womaa in his arms, and said, "Mary, you have taught me a lesson that I shall never forget. Put on your le vr little brown dresses again, and I vrill never complain." "Thank you, my husband. I knew you were not such a goose as you wished me U think you, Charlie." And the brown eyas twinkled roguishly. "Are you hungry!" "Almost starved." "Well, you shall have a grand din- ner." One mere Mrs. Allen sat at the head of the table, in her pretty gingham dress, and her brown hair combed back from her white forehead, looking, to her Jiusband, th sweetest woman in the world. The dinner was excellent, and Mr. Alien wondered where on earth his good common sense was, whea he thought of Mrs. Fits, in the same moment with that neat littlo woman before him. There were no more meals or missing shirt buttons, and Mrs. Fitzgerald's name was never nieationed. There are hundreds of young men today, thnt would, if choosing a wife, elect a pretty, howily-dresse- d lady, before a neat little woman like Mrs. Alien; but remember, young gents, that there is something in this world to live for beyond mere outside show, aad ne ver marry a woman with a pretty face, Agricultural. whose wholo soul lies' in her bonnet or A HEW PLOW. dress, and who cannot tell a cabbage from a potato.
