Mr and Mrs. Andrews bad trcen mar
ried only a few month?, ajd this was
their fuel New Year's Eve. Theirs
was truly a marriage of affection, and
congenial ta»U drew closer the b.mvis
by which they were un'rted. Familiari
ty with the best authors had developed
the mind of Mr. Andrews intellectually
while a thorough bueine«s education
gave him a confidence in his own ability
to make his way in the world, and left
him ifndisturbed about the future. Mrs.
Andrews had been carefully raided by n
widowed mother, now »cmoved from
her by duaih, and had expereaee |uet
enough of the trials of self-dependence
lo feet the real comforts of her new po«)

of their married life, suited, in all respects
their unambitious tastes. It wa& not
largo, nor elegantly furnished, in the
modern acceptation nl that term but light
frrtm their happy hearta was re Heeled
on every object, mekiog all beautiful in
their eyes.
The intellectual tastes of Mr. Andrews
had led him, in the arrangement of his
new homo, lo Ret apart one «mnll roosr

And it was here they had shut them
selves in from lhe world on their firs
New Year's Eve, the husband reading
aloud iroih a favorite bonk, and the hip
py young wife listening lo hi* jianly
voice, and treasuring in her memory the
sentiments that fell from his lips, whilr
her fingers busied themadves witK seme
elegant needlework.
This home was their Parsdise, into

not reading, though thought seems btisi

wny from that quiet placr, burying ilsell
with some scheme of worldly gain.—
Since last year, he has became-moie ab
sorbed in lrat!e, and snore atubitiou? lo
rian in the world and, as a consequence,
le?s intt rested in things purely intellect

NMW Year's E e, is his wife gone up
to her chamber, after parting with him
for the day, aud wept as it her heart
would break. And wh)? lie had fer
gotten the parting kits, or hid his lip»
to hers so roldly, .that the touch chilled,
instead of warming her heart. Oh! how
ninny times had a doubt o( his love
come over her, filling her soul with an
guild*.
The pleasant library hat anoiher' in

mother beuda and feaBts her eyes upon
its beauty. A new spring ol joy has
gushed forth :n her spirit—-new capac
ties for enjoyment have been created
therein.
ln some things, this evo is happier

••We are oh the last hours of the year,"
said Mrs. Andrew*, with i shade of sad

needlework, and drew near the light,
where her husband eat with a new#pa

She had just returned from the chambers
above, after seeing their three children
safely in bed.
"Yes/' repeated Mr Andrews, gloom
ily, "on the last hours of the year."
•'It has not been as happy a year as
were the previous on«s," said Mrs. An
drews. "You have had more trouble
in business, and, somehow, things have

The new house, new furniture, and
ne.w friends that suddenly sprung up,
absorbed a large portion of Mrs. An
drews' time, as well as thoughts, to the
neglect ol hei children, and loss of real
comfort in the household. But neglected
children are not passive subjects nor
neglect in matters of domestic comfort, e
thing of difference. They will exists as
painful realitiec and this Mrs. Andrew?
soon proved, in her sorrow.
Thi.-', in brief, is a history of the year,
w fhe waning light of which the husband
and wife sat sighing over their disappoint
od hopes.
"Do you remember our first New
Year'* Eve?'* said Mrs. Andrews, in a
voire that some vivid recollection of the
past had made tremulous with feeling.
This was after a long silence.
For a few moments, her husband look
ed at her, before replying. Her ques
tion had thrown his thoughts back, and
now th memory of a happier time was
present
"There have been none like it since
Anna." The word* were tfpolen earn
estly, but sadly. "And yet," he added,
after a thoughtful silence, "this ought
not lo be. '1 he years should grow
brighter with sunshine not darker with
clouds. Something is wrong. Why,
as the time goes on, should thr pressur*'
of care grow heavier, and our spirits,
that desire rest and peace, find the ocean
of life more vexed with storms, as tho
ship advances? Yes, Anna, I do remem
ber that New Year's Eve. Alas! ipw
uulike the present',"
"We were poorer ia this wnrld'»
goods, but richer in feelings," s*id Mrs.
Andrews. That dear littltf library
There was a charm about it, never found
in any of our richer apartments The
heart'* warm sunshine fell aU )round it,
an unde every object bcautiiul.
"Something is wrong" Mi. An
drews repeated the words more earnest
ly. "if, since thai first pleasant Now
Year's Eve, the sky above us has fprowft
colder, t'je path rougher, ai.U our hearts
sadder, we cannot be ou liie road to hap
piness. If, with every advancing step,
the sunshine coutir.ues to fade, we mutt
be on the road to darkness, and not
light."
"The light has grown dimmer, and
yet we hpve been looking for lite morn

trouble in business lo which his wife re
ferred—and of which she had felt at

part, tli« trouble had also been experienc

external things, and hoping to find there
