MRS. FLINT'S MARRIED E -
PE R1 HNCE.
"Weir, Mindwell, I have counselled a
good deal about it. I was happy as the
day is long with your father. I don't
say but what I cleaved to this world
considerable more than was good for my
growth in grace. He was about* the
. best. But it pleased the Lordto re-
move him, and it was quite a spell;be-
fore I could really submit ; the nateral
man rebelled, now I tell you 1 Yon can't
never tell what it is to lose a oompan-
ion till you experience it."
A faint color, vanishing, as rapidly as
it came, almost as if ashamed that it
bore witness to the emotion within her,
rose to N indwell Pratt's face as her
mother spoke. She was a typical New
England woman—pale, serious, with
delicate features, grave dark eyes, a
tall, slight, undeveloped figure, graceful
from mere unconsciousness, awkward
and angular otherwise. You could cbm-
pare her to notliing but some delicate
and slender tree of the forest that waves
its fragile but hardy branches fresh and
green in spring time, and abides un-
daunted the worst, blast of winter, root-
ed in the fissures of the rock,`fed by the
bitterest showers, the melting snows,
the furious hail that bends but never
breaks it ; perfect in its place, fitted
utterly to its surilbundings. Her mother,
the widow Gold. was externally like
her ; but deep in Mindwell's heart lay a
strength of character and acuteness of
judgment the eider woman did not pos-
sess, and- a reticence that forbade her to
express sympathy. even with her Moth-
er's sorrow, further than by that reluc=
tent blush, for.sympathy implied an ex-
pression of her love for her husband—
a hidden treasure she could not profane
by speech, which found its only demon-
stration in deeds, and was the chief
spring of her active and devoted life as
wife and mother.
Mra. Gold had been a happy woman,
as she said, while her husband lived,
and had not yet ceased to reproach her,
self for 'mourning him so bitterly. The
religion of New England at that time
was of a stern type ; it demanded a
spiritual asceticism of its followers, and
:'virtually forbade them to enjoy the
blessings of this life by keeping them in
horrid 'and 'continual dread of "the
pains of hell forever," as their catechism
expresses it. l It was their purpose to
work out theijr own salvation with fear
and trembling under the curse of the
law ; the Gospel was- a profound and
awful mystery, to be longed for afar off ;
no more daily bread than the show
bread of the ,temple.
They lived, and worked, and suffered,
and died, with few exceptions, in an
awful sense of flying tine, brief proba-
tion, an angry Godes, certain hell, but a
very uncertain heaven. No wonder that
they were austere and hard ; the won-
der was that even natural temperament
and mental organization should ever
resist this outside pressure, and give
play to humor, or fancy, or passion of
any sort. Yet in this faithless faith lay
elements of • wonderful strength ; the
compelling force of duty made men
nobly honest, rigidly upright, just as far
as their narrow views allowed, and true
to the outward relations of this life,
however they violated their inner prin-
ciple and meaning. Speculation, de-
falcation; divorce, were crimes they
called by other nares than these, and
abhorred. Gan we say as • much for
ourselves? However we may sneer et
Puritanism, it had its strong virtues,
and its outgrowth was honesty, de-
cency, and respect for law ; a share of
such virtues` would be worth mach to
us now.
Mrs. Goldwas a "professor," and it
behooved her;to submit to the will of
God when her husband died. He had
been a strong, generous, warm. -hearted
man ; and though undemonstrative as
his race,his wife had beenloved and.
cherished as the very' blossom of his
life.. She was a sweet, fair girl when
Ethan Goldmarried her, clinging and
- dependent by nature, though education
had made her a hard worker but her
fragile beauty, and soft temper had at-
tracted the strength and fervor of the
man, and their short life together had
been : eacep:tienally happy. Then fever
struck him clove i in his full prime, and
their only chilld, a girl of Isix, could but
just remember all her life that she once
had a father whose very memory was
saered.1 Fifteen years of rnourning,_at
first deeply, then steadily, at last ha-
bitually, and rather as a form than a
feeling, passed. away.
Ethan had left his wife with "means,"
so that poverty did not Vex her ; and
now Mindwell was a grown woman,
and married to Samuel Pratt, a well-
to-do young'r€ farmer of Colebrook—a
hearty, joviall young fellow, whose fun
and animal spirits would bubble over
in spite of reproving eyes and tongues,
and who came into Mindwell's restrain-
ed and reserved life like a burst of sun-
shine. Are the. wild blossoms grate-
ful to the sua_:'that draws them
with powerful ai traction from the cold
sod,
"Where they together,
Alt:th e cold weather,
Keep house alone" ?
Perhaps their odor and color are for
him who brings them to - light and do -
light of life. Minclwell's great fear was
that she made an idol of her husband ;
yet he certainly bad not au idea that
she did. -
If the good sbul had stopped to - au-
alyze the relation between them, his
cousoiousuess would have been found,
when formulated, to be that' hls wife
bore with iiim as saints do -with rather
amusing sinners, while he worshipped
her a,s even the most humorous of yin-:
Hers do sometimes secretly worship,
saints., But what the wife did not.
acknowledge or the husband perceive`
became in a few years painfully per -le
ceptib;le to the mother's feininine and!
maternal instinct. Miudwell treated
her with all possible respect and kind-
ness, but she was no longer her first
object. There is a strange hunger
in the average female heart to be the
one and only love of some other heart,
which lies at the root of fearful tragedies;
and long agonies of unspoken pain -a
Godsgiven instinct, no doubt, to make,
the monopoly of marriage dear and de-
sirable, but, like all other instincts,:
fatal if it be not fulfilled or followed.,
'Utterly wanting in men, who grasp the
pluralities of passion as well as of
office, this instinct niches itself deepest
in the gentlest of women, and was the
ruling- yet unrecognized motive in the
widow Gold's eharacter. If Mindweil
had not had children, perhaps her
mother would have been more neces-
sary to her and more dear, but two
babies had followed on her marriage
within three years, and her not
was a true passion.. This the
mother perceived with a tender
fast growing acute. She llo

unreasoning and lavish toed

while yet the; demands on` it
satiable—the widow Gold won
had at least one sympathetic b
appeal to ; but as it was; she
more and more 'uneasy . and
and began to make herself
with all the commonplaces s
think of—about her "room' bei

Old Israel's wrinkled face, j ckered
mouth, and deep-set eyes twitch d with
a furtive laugh. He was the village
fool_,. yet shrewder than any n who
stoppedsto jest with him, an a fool
only in the satiric sense of je,>r for.
though he had nothing of his.o 'h but a
tiny brown house and pig- a -In, and '
made his living, such as it w::. by do-
ing odd jobs, and peddling ye: s' from f
the distilleries at Simsbury, h as the j
most independent man in Bass:t , being
regardless of public opinion, a not at
all afraid of Parson Roberts.
"Well, Aunt Polly," he a. wered,
"you stay by a spell ; the deao. won'_t

"Miss Flint!" screamed Au : Polly.
"Why, Isr'el Tucker,, you give i. a such
a turn ! Poor cretur, she's sa under

shall go when she comes, but ' on't be

"Then the day _o' judgment's ear by,
Aunt Polly ; and I reckou it i or one

t "For mercy' sakes ! you do t sup -
'pose Sarepty Gold would look t him,
do you ?" t
``I never see the woman t that
wouldn't. look at a man when axed.
her to," was the dry answer. : t Aunt
Polly was too stunned with r new
ideas to retort. She went on a., if the
sneer at her sex had not reale b d her
ear. _ . _ --
"Why, she ha'in't no need to marry
him. She's got a good home t i Sam
Pratt's ; and.. there's that fa ifl here
that Hi Smith runs on sh:Iies, end
money in Har'ford bank, t ey o say.
She won't have him ; don't ye ¶ell ane
so."
"Women are mortal q eer,'Irephed
old Israel. ,
"If they wa'n't, there yy ould n't no
men get married," snapped'AunPolly,
who was a contented old, in 'd, and
never suspected she was . " uee " her-
self.
"That's so, Aunt Polly. Ma ' be it's
what Parson Roberts. calls di pensa-
tion, and I guess it is. I ay 't, a
woman must be extry quee to marry

'et Israel; was right in ids 4;proph-
