Uhler that her husband expected too much from her; that he regarded her as a kind of upper servant in his household, and that he considered himself as having a right to complain if things were not orderly and comfortable. At first, she met his looks or words of displeasure, when his meals, for instance, were late, or so badly cooked as to be unhealthy and unpalatable, with
Uhler excused his conduct on the ground that he wasn't going to tie himself down like a galley slave to the oar wasn't going to stoop to the drudgery he had employed clerks to perform. This was all his wife could gain from him in reply to her frequent remonstrances. Up to this time, Mr.
Uhler asked this question in a hesitating manner; and, for the first time, she saw that her request was not favorably received. "How much do you want?" inquired the husband. "I should like to have a hundred dollars," said Mrs. Uhler. "I'm sorry; but I can't let you have it," was answered.
There came, now, to be a sort of tacit emulation of good offices between the wife and husband, who had, for so many years, lived in a state of partial indifference. Mr. Uhler urged the procuring of a domestic, in place of the girl who had left them, but Mrs. Uhler said no their circumstances would not justify the expense. Mr.

"I lost five hundred dollars day before yesterday through the neglect of one of my clerks, while I was riding out with some friends." "Riding out!" exclaimed Mrs. Uhler. "Yes. You can't expect me to be always tied down to business. I like a little recreation and pleasant intercourse with friends as much as any one.
Few words passed between him and his wife; but the latter was active through all the evening, and, wherever her hand was laid, order seemed to grow up from disorder; and the light glinted back from a hundred places in the room, where no cheerful reflection had ever met his eyes before.

Of course, under such administration of domestic affairs, causes for dissatisfaction on the part of Mr. Uhler, were ever in existence.
