And wilder rosetlio tumult,
And thicker the tldtngi came

Yet higher rose the fury,
And louder Die surges raved,
(Thousands wero savod but to suffer,
And hundreds never wero saved,)
Till out of tho awful burning,
A flash of lluhiulug wont,
As across tu fair Saint Louis
Tho prayer for succor was sent,

When her ej es are closed forever,
And what would the blight ness round mo bo
When my healt will brighten nover?

A wondcrnus song Is singing

For under lho daisies s'ceplDg,
My darling lies Willi ileath closed ears,
Nor heeds my bitter weeping.
And my hands are Idle nil day long,
No work nor comfort Hading;

And Hint duty's claims nro binding;
Hut what care I, when o'er herhrpast

"Toll my wlfol" said Aaron Llttlo,
speaking aloud, yot to himself, In a half
nmused, half troubled way. "Tell my
wife, Indeed 1 Much good that will do!
Wlmtdoes sho know nhout business,
and money matters, nnd tho irlcks of
trado? No, no j thero's no hopo
there."
And Auron Llttlo sat musing with a
porplexed countonnnco. Ho had a nows
per In his hand, nnd his eyes had Just
been lingering over a paragraph, In
which tho writer suggested to business
men In troublo tho propriety of consult
ing their wives.
"Talk to thorn freely nhout your af
fairs," It said. "Let them understand
exactly your condition. Tell them of
dllllcultles, of your embarrassments,
and your plans for extricating your
selves from tho entanglements In which
you nro involved. My word for It, you
will get help in nlno cases out of ten.
Women havo quick perceptions. They
reach conclusions by a nearer way than
reasoning, and get at tho solution of a
dlillcult question long beforo your slow
moving thoughts brlngyou near enough
for accurato observation. Tell your
wives, then, men In troublo, all about
your affairs ! Keep nothing back. Tho
better they understand tho matter, tho
better will bo their perceptions.
"All a very lino theory," said Aaron
Little, tossing tho newspaper from him,
and leaning back In his chair, "But It
won't tlo In my case. Tell Betsey I
Yes, IM Iiko to sco myself doing II. A
man must bo hard pushed Indeed, when
ho goes homo to consult his wlfo on
business affairs."
And so Aaron Llttlo dismissed tho
subject. Ho was lu considerable doubt
nnd perplexity of mind. Things had
not gone well with him for a year past
Dull business and bad debts had left his
affairs In rather an unpromising condl
tlon. Ho could not sco his way clear
for tho future. Taking trado as It had
been for tho past six months, ho could
not lmaglno how, with tho rcsourcos at
his command, his matured payments
were to be made.
"I must got moro capital," ho said to
himself. "That is plain. And witlt
moro capital must como In a partnor, I
don't llko partnerships. It Is difllcult
for two men to work together harmon
lously. Then you may get entangled
with a roguo. It's a risky business.
But I seo no other way out of this trou
hie. My own capital is too light for
the business I am doing, nnd as a meas
uro of safety moro must bo brought In
Ltwrcnco Is nnxious to Join mo, and ho
says ho can command ten thousand
pounds. I don't llko him In all respects:
ho Is a llttlo too fond of pleasure But
T want his money moro than his aid in
business). Ho might remain a silent
partner If ho chose. I'll call and seo
him this very night and h.tvo a llttlo
talk on tlio s ulject. If ho can bring In
ten thousand pounds I think that will
settle tho matter."
With this conclusion lit his mind,
Aaron Llttlo returned home, after clos
ing his warehouse for tho day. Tea
being over, ho mado preparations for
going out, with the Intention of calling
tip-in Mr. Lawrence. As ho reached
his hand for his great coat, n voice
beemed to siy lo him
"Tell your wife. Talk to her about
It. '
But he rejected the thought Instantly
mid commenced drawing on his coat.
"Where mo you going, Aaron '."' ask
ed Mrs. Little, filming forth ftont tho
dining-room.
"Out for n llttlo while," ho replied.
I'll bo back in half nn hour or so."
"Out whero'.'"
"Tell her, Auron. Tell her all about
It." laid tlio vtiico, Mieaking In his
mind.
"Notuetiso ! Sho don't understand
anything about biisintbs. Sho can't
help me," he aiiswcied (Irmly.
"Tell your wife!" Tho words wero
in his mind, and would keep repeating
thoin solves.
"Can't you say whero you nro going,
Aaron V Why do you make a mystery
of It V"
Oh, it's only a matter of business.
I'm going to seo Mr. Lawrence!"
"Edward Lawrenco V"
"Yes."
"Tell your wlfo !" Tho words seemed
almost us If uttereil uloud In his ears.
"What uro you going to seo him
about?"
"Tell her!"
Mr. Llttlo Btool irrosolulo. What
good would tolling her do !
"What's tho matter, Aaron? You'vo
been dull for somo tlmo past. Nothing
L'olng wrong with you, I hope?" And
his wlfo laid her hand upon his arm
nnd leaned towards him In a kind way,
"Nothing very wrong," ho ntiswcred
la an ovaslvo matinor. "Business has
b.'endull this 6easou."
"Has It? I'm sorry. Why dldn
you tell me?"
"What good would that havo done?'
"It might havo dono a good deal of
good. When a man's business Is dull
his wlfo should look to tho houschotili
expenses but if sho knows notliln
about It, sho may go on In a way that is
really extravagant undor tho circtim
stances. I think that men ought alway
to tell their wlvos when auythlii;
goiug wrougl"
"You do?"
"Certainly I do. What better reason
can you want than tho one 1 havo glv
en? II sho knows that tho income 1
reduced, as a prudent wife, slio will en
deavor to roduea tho expenses, lladn
you better tako off your coat, uud si
down nnd talk with mo it llttlo, before
you go to seo Mr. Lawronco?"
Mr. Llttlo permitted his wife to draw
oil' his ovoieoat, which uho took Into
tho passage aud replaced on thu hat
rack. Then returning Into lho parlor,
she said ;
"Now, Aarou, talk to mo as freely as
you choose. Don't keep any thing back.
Whatoyertho troublo Is, let mo know
It to tho full extent."
"Oh, thero's no very grcnt trouble
yet. I urn only afraid of troublo. I
seo It coming, and wish to keep out of
Us way, Betsy."
"That's wlso and prudent," said his
wlfo. "Now toll mo why you nro going
to sco Mr. Lawrence."
Mr. Llttlo let hla eyes fall to tho
lloor, nnd sat for somo momonts In si
lence. Then, looking up, ho paid
'Tho truth Is, Betsy, I must havo
moro capital In my business. Thero
will bo no getting on without, for nt
least ho says ho can command, ten
thousand pounds. I think ho would
llko to Join mo. Ho has Bald ns much
two or tlireo times."
And you wore going to see him on
that business?"
"I was."
"Don't do it," said Mrs. Llltle, cm-
ihatlcally.
"Why not 1" asked Aaron.
"Bccnuso ho Isn't tho man for you
not If ho had twenty thousand pounds."
Because Is no reason," replied Aaron
Little
"Tho extravagance of his wife," It
was answered llrmly.
"What do you know about her?"
"Only what I havo soon. I'vo called
on her two or threo times, and havo no
ticed tho stylo In which her liouso Is
furnished. It is arrayed In palaeo nt-
lro compared with ours. And ns for
dress It would tako tho interest of n
llttlo fortune to pay her milliner's nnd
tnantau maker's bills. No, no, Aaron,
Mr. Lawrenco, Isn't your man, depend
on It. Ho'd uso up tho ten thousand
pounds lu loss than two years."
"Well, Betsy, that's pretty clear
talk," said Mr. Llttlo, taking a long
breath. "I'm rather afraid, after what
you say, that Mr, Lawrenco Is not my
man. But what am I to do?" and his
voico fell in n troubled tono. "1 must
havo moro capital ; or" Mr. Llttlo
paused.
, "Or what?" His wlfo looked at him
tcadlly, and without any sign of her
anxiety. I
"Or I may becomo bankrupt."
"I'm sorry to hear you say that,
Aaron," and Mrs. Little's voleo trem
bled perceptibly.
"But I'm glad you'vo told ino. Tho
now parlor carpet, of course, I bhall uot
order."
"Oh, ns to that, tho amount It will
cost can mako no great diflcrenco," said
Mr. Little. "Tho parlor docs look
shabby; and I know you'vo set your
heart oti n now carpet."
Indeed, mid It will mako a dldor-
crouco thou," roplied tho llttlo woman
In her decided way. "Tito last feather
breaks tho camel's back. Aaron Llttlo
shall nover fall becauso of his wlfo's ex

carpet If It wero ollered to mo nt half

"You aro a brave, truo woman, Bet

glow of a now burn feeling of admira
tion. "I hopo that I shall ever ho a truo
bravo wife," returned Mrs. Little,
"willing always to help my husband,
ellher in saving or In turning, as tho
case may be. But let us talk moro
about your affairs ; let mo sen tho trou

"Tlio money would como dearly at
tho prlco of tho man, if you took Mr.
iwrenco for a partner. It least that Is
my opinion. But I am glad to hear you
say, Aarou, that you aro In no Imme
diate danger. May not tho btorm bo
weathered by reeling sail, as the sailor's

"By reducing expenses."
"Yes."
.Mr. Llttlo hhook his head.
"Don't say no too quickly," replied
his wlfo. "Lotus go over tho whole

"Supposo you hid llvo hundred

That sum would mako all btifo for

"It would bo a certain gnin, Anron.

Why, I can hardly tell. I'vo seen

"But If I havo my houso to keep,"
Mrs. Llttlo answered to this, "how can

"Don't you think that Annlo coold

"You mny bo right, B3tsy : but I

"I was afraid, Betsy; but am no long

ho was on tho street for nearly half of

In tho work of money raising ; now his

ho could glvo more attention tu busl
