MAKING IT UP.

"But married women, dear," she said, " Are not exempt from aoenes like these. True lovers vex you, heart and head, And quarrel on capricious pleas ; And I, though long a wife, am yet By such sweat, charming ills beset. ll Tou think 'tis wicked, weak, and wrong

To let temptation lore me bo ? Ah, women's heart is none too strong. My child, 'tis but three days ago That, sitting jast where you sit now, I heard a lover's prayer and vow. « Oh I — yea , he was a married man ! At first I toould not listen. Then He drew quite near mo, and began To plead and pray. I snubbed him when He caught my hand ? Well, no, dear Muy ;

I did not draw it quite away. " I should have done bo ? But, you see

He kissed mo, and — that made me cry. We'd quarrelled terribly, and he Was dying to make it up ; and I — I said he was my lorer ? True ; But then — he was my husband too."
