THE BAMA EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1806. VM ao rdcrly, so well manBRcd, aud your little lrolhers and sl&tpr obeyed jou no lovingly, Tfhat could J think, but that for all occasion you were a little gem of 'lustre rare?' And now, dear, tell me your troubles, that I may help you." "Oh ! I cannot pay Fllen' watres, and I owe for tnis drcsa and ome other thinjts; and 1 am Tiot "tire that I shall be able to pay llardmai:, the butcher." ''Now, then, let us see. Ellen, two pounds ton ,f "Yes; and Hardman quite eight pounds." " Wt 11, aud the dress." "Oh ! tt is not that only, but thre are other tilings that come to sixteen pounds." - My huxband looked grave ay, graver than I lhad ever seen him; his arm relaxed in the grasp in which ttheld me; finally he withdrew it, and Jield hia head between his hands. "8peak, iFred," said I, '"oh! do speak, and do not be unary." 1 am not anpry, child, but this is sad; I did jiot dream of this," was his reply. "But you will be able to pay itf" I acked. "Pray it? Oh, yes; but at what a risk ! You Inow your father would not give his consent to our marriage without I insured my lite for a thousand po:inds, as he considered that, thouarh J might become a rich man when lhad fully entered Into practice, yet death sometimes badly interfered with our brilliant schemes and lie was right. Now, here is the notice from the suwurance office, that my payment for the next Tear falls due in til teen days; if I dicharge your !il:s. 1 cannot pay this without encroaching on our next year's income. It is fortunate that I Jiave reserved the money for the rent ana taxes. Dry up your eyes, dear, and bo cheerful. I cannot bear to see yon thus." "but, Fred, will you pay the bills all through the next year? I don't want to have any jnoney." "Uaiiine, this mut not cannot be. It Is out of my power to order the daily dinners to look utter the scraps, regulate the laundry expendi ture, and control the thousand and one trltlcs which, however, at the end of the year make up the whole sum of two hundred pounds. So cou jage, little one, try the next year; we shall do, If Uod gives us health." And thus the matter dropped. DEBT COMES AT TUB END OF THE TEAS. The end of the next year came, and a little daughter was added to our comfort. The last evening of tae old year came steadily on. 1 will tell my husband now, thought I; he cannot be angry that I cannot pay this bill; I have spent bo much tor our little treasure. And so, aud so, nod 60 it came out that I now owed twenty pounds more than I could pay, notwithstanding that I had pinched here ana there, till sometimes juy lite became an utter wearinees, lighted up riily by my husband's sunny smile and cheerful Jight-Lieartedness. This lime there was no fondling, no half-mea-Bures. "We cannot pay this." said he. "What W to Te done ? We are not only carelees, but sinful; we are dishonest. Tradesmen have trusted us on toe faith of our good name. The wretch who steals biead to eatisly his hunger is not to be condemned as we are." He was silent for some time, then said, wearily, "Put the bills away, and tell me when they are called for." The next 3iigbt, as he was fondling and caressing our little one, he suddenly said, ' "Little wile, would you like to eo to London ?" "Oh, yes, very much; but what do you mean?" "Richard Fenton has been ill some time, and Is ordered to the south of France; he wants me tu take care of his practice for Llm he thinks I jnay like a change, as everybody seems so peace able here, and not inclined to go to law, that I 3nay as well do tome good tor him, and says that he has let his house in some square until his return in the autumn; but he sends me a check for titty pounds. We shall, therefore, have to nd our own residence " " But house-rent will be more expensive in London thau here, will it not?'' " Yes, indeed, it will be trebled, though other "wUe, perhaps, the move might ultimately be of advantage ; but we must come to a tixed deter mination not to spend more than a definite yortion of our income upon ech requisite. You Inow, that here in the country we are getting a tolerable house for twenty pounds, and tne taxes are merely nominal. In London we shall find very indifferent shelter lor that sum, while the taxes may there always be considered at a quarter of the rent." 4 " Now. Fred, will you put down exactly what Re ought to spend, aud we must not go beyond ?" "That's it, little wife," returned my husband ; ' that's iust the point I want to bring you to. Remember 'Must mot go beyond.' For these two years we have spent in advance of our in come, and but lor this timely check of Fentou's we must have lost our insurance policy, and this jear shall have'to sell some of our furniture to pay our way." "Sell some of our furniture ! Oh, no ! you do not mean that." "How else shall we get out of debt, little wife? We cannot be so mean as to live on our trades met' 's charity, and I cannot borrow because I cannot pay. You know I have only a life-interest in my property; and this circumstance it was which made me as anxious as your lather on the subject of having my life insured. So that, situated as we now are, I do not regret moving from here." My heart sank in dismay at the prospect before me, while my husband rallied me on ray blank look. In a moment a vital strength seemed to be poured into my soul; I never could tell from whence it came, nor have I ever tor- f often it, though more than this once in my lite have experienced the same in some turning- f oint of my carer. "Fred, let me beg of you o put down Instantly all we should spend, and I vtll keen to it," I said, almost breathlessly, as if afraid to lose a moment. My husband smiled at mv eagerness, iook out nis pencil, ana pro ceeded to make ius calculations wnue l leit the room. On mv return in halt an hour, "Here. Millv," said he, "is tne sum and total of the whole; but you must sien the pledge to keep within the bounds of all here t-et dawn, even belore you look at the list, or there will be nothing more or less than Ruin !" "Read it out, Fred; I shall understand it better " "Urst come the Kent and taxes per annum 25 Coals, candles, and living lor omselvos our little one, and servam,27s. por weak, or 70 Wapes for servant only one, mind 10 Insuranoo lor 1000 25 ClotUtglormvBeli.lt 2a ' wile 15 " labe 5 For warning... v 10 20 For sickness or exigencies 200" I held out my hand for the paper, and again and again I pondered over the ditterent items, and thought the allowance lor each ample; but then, bow was it that I had run into debt? there was the riddle. "What Is it, Milly ?" said mv husband, seeing the fatal scroll bad dropped on the rioor, and I eat looking in the tire, as it reading my future there. "I must think," I replied; "give me till to morrow this time, and I will tell you what it is." : To-morrow came, and even belore I rose in the morniDg I said, "Let us go troni here, Fred; I am determined to spend no more than my allowance; but you must keen the money, and give it to me weekly, as I require tt" "So be it, darling; but only one thing I ask jou to solemnly promise me. ay, as it your life depended on the breaking of your vow, nisvee to oo in debt." i "1 promise," said I, as I held out both my fea&ds to him, and in that same moment my heart went up to God, even betore my eyes had left my husband's face, asking for strength to keep my resolution; and aaain, for the scond time in my lite, I felt au Influence certainly not of earth. , J)1H1"OSINO or prjENITURK AND DEPARTING FOB LONDON, It matters not to relate here all the miser v I endured in disposing of part of our furniture, in mftkinir the necessar preparations tor nnr 1. 4arture, In taking leave ol all our old Ulead (who, bv their frequent visiting at what they ttmed a pleasant home, hid nnconsion.-dy helped to snell oitr debts) and the earlieat asjo ciations of my childhood; every favoriu spot became trebly dear to me as the ume drew neiir tor our change dt hie. My parent were not made acquainted with our real reasons tor quitting the neighborhood, for, Indeed, I could not bear to have rav carelessness canvai-sed; Tor I leit ob, how deeply I that but for the tiouble I nmclf bad made', th's would never have happened, and I knew the vexation it would have cost mj fathpr at the bnre possibility of the insurance being dropped. Truly, I felt like a criminal in learot hourly detection; so tnat when all the adieus were Mid, and we were ready to start, a sense of relief overoowcred me, and my spirits were raised in oroportion to the freedom I felt. Arrived in London, we sought inexpensive lodgings until a house could be found. The discomfort. annoyance, and expense of this mode of liVinsr raarlydrove me wild. In a fonnieht our furniture was to follow. Ibadbiought a young girl from the country wiih me strong aud willing, but .totally inexperienced. A'ld here was my great mistake: I intended to save from the commence ment, overlooking the proverb "Penny wise and pound loolifch." Consequently, UstPad of having a help in my difficulties, which I should have had it I had taken an older and better 'qualltied person, I had, in addition to the cure and anxiety of my own baby, tne torment of a young giddy thing who could not be trusted, and who spent every spari moment of her time in the kitchen, gossiping npon all our ways and doings In the f ountry. refore twelve hours bad expired, the .landlady was fully in possession of information' reported to her as , facts, which indeed ex it-ted only in the loinantio brain of our so-called help. Mv husband, day after dnv, spent a great por tion of bis tune in searching tor a house, and the evening brought him home weary and out ot spirits;. LOOKING FOB A HOUSR. "Milly," said he, one night, "I have traversed whole sireets of dingy-looking houses, and can find nothing that will suit you at the rent we have fixed on. To-morrow I shall go a short wav Into the country; n walk of three miles into town and out in the evening cannot hurt me; indeed, I think I shall benefit by the change. You had better go with me lo-morrow; our search may be more succeuslul." Out my Du&y, urea; 1 cannot trust ner wun Ann, she is xo giddy. You really must go alone." "On. for one day surely she cannot hurt. Ask the landlady to give an eye to her.1' 1 saw tnat my nusimiici nau set nis mina on my nccompanxing bun, so 1 consented, though with extreme leluctancc; an ominous foreboding seemed to oppress m?. However, in the morning my buoe looked so well and coccrlul, aud Ann made so many promises that she would be careful of my treasure, aud attentive to her little wants, and the landlady asurpd me again and aetuu that she would takp care ot the dear baby as it it were her own," that I let oat with something of confi dence on our house-hunting expedition. Oil, the misery of that day 1 Muuv miles we must have walked, still unsuccessful in our search. Houses there were plenty, but in what appeared to me such squalid neluuioruoods tue chil dren running In and out of the open doors. munching bread and butter, building grottoes of ovster-shells, shouting and kicking; the mothers gossi plug at each otner's doors, caring nothing for the din, and occasionally audiug to it by calling to their rebellious urchius iu shriller voices, thai my heart sank within me. In such a place I could not live: and not one place only, but all seemed to be alike in thlr noise, dirt, aud to me. misery, l, wuo baa been brought up in every delicate refinement bow slioulo X live tnioiic sucu people? , rue day ended, and we strolled wearily home, but carelully observant ot every seeming out-of tne- wav nook that mient atlord us our wlsuea-ior haven: but without success. Our room nad a cheeriul appearance as we entered; there was a clean uearin, a brtgbt nre, our Daoe tooted quite well as she lay quietly bleeping in her eot. The only thing I noticed was a kind of agitation in Ann that I attributed to her anxiety to have everything rignt on our returu. My husband laughed at my tears, the result, he said, of nervousness produced by our recent removal. "You see," be said, "nothing has gone wrong to-morrow we must go again." The morrow came; I leit my babe, who seemed as well as usual, though not very lively, as she did not care for her loou, which I attributed to her interest in a new toy which we had brought her. At the close of the day we had been somewhat more successful in our search, but it was at an increase of rent. For a small house, pleasantly situated lour miles Irom Lincoln's Inn, we were asked thirty pounds; the rats aud taxes, we were told, would be seven pounds perhaps a little more, call it eigbt and upon the eligi bility of the bouse we agreed to consider, aud come to a decMou lute ou the followiug day. Home was reached with spirits somewhat more buoyant, tuouch seven pound mora than the sum destined for the rent and tuxes was additional expense, to be met how? That we must think about. Our little darling was lying asleep, as belore, in her cot, her face flushed, which I attributed to the heat of the room. Theie was a contused look about Ann's eyes w nich I could not account lor. ANXIETY FOE THE BABE. "How has the baby been, Aun ?" ' "Vpry well, ma'am, only a little cough." "How oid she get it"said I. "Did you take her out to-day ? 1 hope you have not disobeyed me?" ' "I haven't stirred outside the door since you . ... ii weilb. Ilia a ill, i "My dear, you make yourself quite ill about the child.

The moment the doc tor's eye fell on the former, 6he shrank into the darkness of the room. My precious babe was even now in convulsions. Ay, even after the lapse of these many years does that awful scene rise up with the vividness of a credent reality. For many hours the little sufferer re mained in a gasping death-like state, the doctor coming at intervals through the nlht. In the morning, when she fecmed free from pain, he took my husband out ot the room and told him there was no hope the child could not live. "And lor this," continued he,'.VOu may thank that servant of yours. , The day belore yesterday I was called to attend a child laboring under spasmodic croup and wboopiug cough, when, as I entered, I saw your ch.ld in the arms of its careless nurse, who was standing over the bed watching the contortions of the sick child's face; your Infant bud only the girl's apron thrown over its bead. Understanding she did not belong to the bouse, I told her instantly to go home and tell the parents of the child the danger it had beep in. I am eorrv now that I aid not inquire where she lived; this sad sorrow might have been prevented." : Oh I the agony of a mother watching every lite-throb of her dyiug child; tho convulsion which cramps its little frame, the spasm tbat twists us pallid face, the battling of. lit aud death, 19 a sceue, once witnessed, never for gotten. . Mv busband. on his return to the room. looked at me with an expieesion which in oue moment told me I was soon to be childless. "Is there no hope ?" I whispered. . DEATH or TBI INFANT. "None but la God;" and he knelt and took in his the tiny hand clenched with pain. In a tew moments the labored breathing stopped, the diawn form relaxed, all was atillj gently ho re moved the pillow from my lap, upon which my little angel lay, and plaoei) both oa tho sola For myself, I was tearleasj my eyes were hot and dry; weep I could not, neither could I real ize my loss.

"And again I tell you, jou have murdered my child I" The girl looked with such pltltul anguish at rue that I said, "That is enough; you roav go, , Ann." For a long time alter she sat on the step ot tbeptair outside the door sobbing as it her ,heRtt"woul(t break; but mine- was turnedfto stone.' a numbing despair settled on nio, for , welling up withm wad the silent reproach that If I had not gone in debt thi had never been, and, instead ot this suriounding misery of my own making. I had been a hanpy mother in my 'own native village. I could not say 'This is God's haud,"for through my own thoughtlessness hnd this grief ovei taken me. I spoke no words aloud; with that little dead form belfre me, all the past sprung up as a vision betore my eyes. ' The childless lather never attempted to console me; he stood lojking with a strong tixedness upon the death ot his idol, for such she had been. Whether he blamed me at al' I never knew. We were both roused from our reveries by the knock of the landlaiy. She cume to ask us it she could be of any nse. 1 was too heart-btoken to ask any questions, and could only s'leuil.y moiiou my assent. My husband left tue room, ana gontiv and tenderly did the woman perform all the little offices tor the dead; reverently was it carried out, and laid on a spare bed belonging to herself, and close adjoining to our own room. She b;isied herself in every necessary deed; by her summons the undertaker came, and in every way she spared us as much as possible. And so the day passed on. and the wear meLt came; but long ere this my husband had joined me. lie could wcop could even attempt to console me; but his words lell unheeded, my eyes were dry and hot; I could only tlnd relief "in pacing the room, and passing the sides of my handkerchief through my fingers, till bit by bit it was worn awav, aud bit by bit it tell on the floor unheeded. It was near, midnight belore we left our sitting-room; topetber we looked at our hrtle angel, so beauti ful in is holy innocence. I kissed ths little lips, and the icy coldness thrilled through my frame; but sti l no relief came. My husband slept at intervah through the night, but my eyes fixed themselves ou the fan tatic shadows thrown by the ga-lamp outside the w indow, ana, it lor a moment Mumbcr stole upon me, I was instantly wakened by the landed sound ot ihnt cioup cough. Slowly the morning broke; my brain seethed anu boiled; I waspldrty; I could scarcely stand, and could only find relief In motion. Hastily I threw u cloak over my shoulders, and with slip pered led went down stairs, forgetting in my huriy that my cliild was close adioimng. As 1 entered tb sitting-room, the first thing I saw was mv little one's slices side by rfidetu the chair in which she was accustomed to be seated at the table, in a moment, nnture burst toriii the tearb rained down in torrents n every limb I trembled and shook;. at last I tell across the chair in a laint, but st It grasping the shoes. Frederick, hearing t he noise, came to me, but for houiB reasf n tottered ou hei throne; all that ten di r attention could do to soothe my grief was done all that love could express in words or acts was lavishly eiven, but still the silna was there; and wb( n 1 was implored not to be rebellious at God's will. I answered so Impetuously, "It is no act of God; I did it tnyseli," then, indeed, it was feared 1 was speaking irom delirium; and as the relief ot tears became no longer such, I seemed to bs possessed with perpetual motiou. I had no rest but in movement; the eicht ot my dead iii'ant brought only remorse, so tbat wheu the day of the funeral came, bo much dreaded bv my hi.sband for its probable effect upon me, I allowed the little colli u to be taken away, and myself placed In the carriage as one of its mourners, without even a struggle. My house seemed on my return even more desolate than belore. Almost tne first words I uttered were, "Let us go troni here." "Shall wi take the house V asked my husband. "What bwuse?" It had entirely gone irom my memorv, to which with some pains it was recalled, "bli, not not tneie; anywhere in a dit terent direction." CHAPTER II. HOt'SE-nUNTINO; ITS TROUBLES EARLY RISING PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT COOKERY. Since m y babe's death there was nothing to keep me at home; I could accompany my hus band everywhere; indeed, 1 could only teel relict Irom sorrow in ihe most rapid movements; no distance was too great, aud fatigue I knew not. Day alter day was passed in the same manner, and thus would have continued (tor all interest in a house had ceased) but for a let ter which we found one evening on our return, announcing that the furniture was sent off, and would hrrive in three days. What was now to be done? .lhad not yet replaced my unfortu nate servant, whom I could not bear the sight ct; we were unwilling to send her home to our own village, wbere, from her lips, our adven tures would have done duty for a "sensation" novel; the landlady soon procured her a situa tion with some one else wba bad no baby, and where her teet were required to be as nimble as the capabilities ot her tongue. Atter reading the letter aloud I abruptly asked, "What's to be done?" "Nothing, dear Milly, while you are in your present humor." "Then wiiere are to put our furniture If nothing Is to be done ?" I asked. Mv husband, with a kindness more freshly remembered alter all these years thau it was heeded then, got up 'from his- chair, gently removed my bonnet and shawl, drew a seal to my side, pouied me out a cup of tea, and, put- ving uis arm rounu my waist, saiu: "Let us cat aud drink, then talk the matter over. lear wile, you must be brave lor my Baae. "For yours ? What can I help you in ?" ' In everything," was the rejoinder; "but not another word upon 'ways and means' until we are botn refreshed." I turned suddenly round and looked at mv husband ; he was pale and caieworn I bad never observed deep lines in hia lace till that moment. The selfishness and waywardness of my temper ODly on that very day rose giant-like belore me, "Frederick, lorulve me." I said. "1 will tto what you wish, and will not repine it 1 can lieip it," i aaueo, in a lower tone. "Well, then," Baid be, laughiiJBly, "let the test of ycur obedience commence. Eat and drink." : ' ' Kverv scene of the evening Is Indelibly photo graphed on my brain a new phase of life seemed to onen ud to me. The meal was taken, and its paraphernalia removed; my husband took the initiative, aia not in me u i ii&eu mis or mui situation, but said, "The house at thirty pounds, which stands in the open space ot parden ground, close to the field of forty acres, will bo just the thing tor us. 1 should mint it would be some ytais betore the now pretty view can be built out. It is only three miles from London, per haps a little mote to the oihce, but that does not signify. - The house Is lust the one lor us; I mean the finished ODe of the four houses near to the church which is in progress. We shall have no Deichbors yet, and I have obervei very com mnn neonle do not live in semi-detached houses they like to congregate, and so ought we, as a matter ot economy, but I think fresh air better than verv cheap lood. So, liule wife, this is setiipd. To morrow I will close with the laud lord, and cro to th wagon-olHce to have the fur niture brought on. ' And now tor help.

My sister, vou know, always gets the beat she ran for the same . money, and' declares It Is false economy to hire as a single servant an Inexperienced girl, even if she could be had for nothing." ' "Yon; n. mother was much averse to mv having Ann, and said tbat I should find her far more expenalve in oareioasness, ureaaage, ana idleness than she would like to have encoun tered. Dont let us revive the unhappy reeollec tion, or I shall be unnervel aeain." " Well, well, let it pa-s: 'us hard for the young atrip, bat' neither vou por I can be any further made martyr- lor tneir fcakes; though, if every body thought al'.ke upop this point, it would be sad tor them." ' t , " We always had a young girl under old Magsie, jou know, ami she used to say that a yonna servant should never enter ser'ioe but to b" placed under an older one. If Magmo were here but for a day, she would say that women, however poor, want rome little relief, to take their baby otf iheir hands, and he'p in some way, so that it would be impossibly to act alike In every case." Not to lengthen out (his story with potty detail", interesting only to myself, becauss they, were my first experiences, 1 will ineulion that I found a healthy, biicht-looklng Irish girl willing to be servant of all work. She had a good character tor honesty, sobriety, cieuulincs-i, ami intelligence, and was only pared irom becaure the mistress desired to have one ot lower wages. She could ah-o come to me direoly, which was a ereat blessing. We had taken our apartments for a month, and. by an oversight, had omitted to etioulut lor another week alter we had arrange! for the house; consequently, on the day our month's term expired we had to vacate the rooms lor a new occupant.' We net out with our luggage trom the house which bad been tne scene ol so much woe, and, accompanied by Liridget, who , seemed rather to enioy the excitement ot re moval than otherwise, we arrived at our new borne; but we had all forgotten that it was to an, en.fty domicile we were coming, without pro visions and without coals. Bridget's services were speedily iu requisition, to exploie the neighborhood, and tlnd out shops, "for they must be Somewhere," as she remarked, though 1 could bnlv see on the one hand tall houses being erected, and on the other, hall a mile dis tant, by the road-side, a small shed looking place, trom w hose solitary chimney the blue smoke was curling with a bravado exultation of comlort. "An' which way will I go," said Bridget, as she stood In the road, looking up and down, lor iu front was a large expanse of market garden, and bch'nd a field called Forty Acres stretched far away, and in the distance wo could see men and horses ploughing. "Well, there's men at the house out there; they'll tell mc," and oil she set as last as her feet could carry her. In ball an hour she returned, with her iniormation that coals and tea and bread could be obtained at "Fyshe's' where the smoke pioclainied that it came from comfortable quar ters. "Run, Bridget, and get all you want; tell them to bring it here, and your mistress will pav, for I must go and look atu-r the furniture," said my husband. "It Is getting neatly dark, Milly," he con tinued; "you are not afraid to wait here alone till Bridget returns?" "Oh, no! But " "Now, little wife, be brave; nothing can barm you. 1 will send for fome wood and kindle a fire, if I cari but find a match; down in the lower regions is the most likely place to look, 1 think." And away be .nulled, singing, "There's a good time coming." He soon returned with an arm ful ot shavings and some pieces of wood, left behind by the workmen, but no match. I tuen bethought myseli ol some in my writing-desk. so we unpacked a trunk and found them. Even at that moment I could not but think how much pvcii oue single match could add to our com forts. The fire crackled and biazed up tue chimney, and a sense of returning warmth (tot it was a cold Marcn day) made me leei less irri table. "If we only had -omethine to eat now, It wonld be lolly." A' that moment Bridget entered, breathless and Indignant. "The spalpeens won't let me have anything w.mouiApay lor it down, ana letcu it away mvscli;nd how can I bring coals ?" "Bridget, come wltii me." said mv husband. snatching his hat Horn the table; and betore I could remonstrate, both were gone. I or one hour I waited patiently, a prey ta sad thought and grieved retrospection. How di lerent irom a month ago ! Hearing a noise in the road, 1 looked out on the dimncsa of a mtslv evening, and could just discern Bridget carry ing a weu-iuaen oasKet, ana a ooy v. una narrow. The latter was soon about to enter the hill with a sack on bis back, when Bridget cried out, "Stop, till I see where I'll put the coal?." "Then I'll just drop 'em here." was the reply: ana oown went tne corns on tne aoor-siep. I bpard a smack given, and others followed. I then went out iust in time to save the contents oi tue basket trom mingling with the scattered coai. "Bridget, come in directly, and send the bov awav."
