The Dying Man's Story.
BY REV. J0m THE0. ETTER3.
You have often asked mo 'for my
history,, doctor, and now that I am ,so
near my ond, yon snail liavo It. Now,
don't stop me, "my dear friend; I know,
what you .would'flay I roust not ex
cite myself or talk much. You see, I
am almoSc as good a 'doctor as you lire;,
but I feel that I cannot last another,
day, and as, a few hours cannot make
much .dlffcrpnco, I prefer dying my.
own way. I may as well keep my
mind employed as pot; so sit down and
listen to what no one has heard but
yourself. i
Six and twenty years ago I was a
clerk' In a merchant's office. I can't
say Hiked tho business, but I stuck, to'
It and got op; (or I loved ray master's.
.daughter, and hoped by hardworkto
one day be able'to make liar rrilne. I
was an orphan, with neither kltli or
kin to look after me, but the love I bore
Mlily kept mo quiet and Industrious.
I rose step by stop In' tbo office, and
Mr, Bruce, the merchant, was never
tired of sounding my praise.
All went, on happily nntll .bo dis
covered that I' loved his daughter,. and',
then his passion knew no bounds. I
need' not enter Into the particulars. I
was turned from his house, but not
alone, for' Mllly and I, had been
crclly married three months before.
We took a quiet Ilitle lodging In the
suburbs, and I went every day into the
city in the hopes of getting another
.situation. I had a little money which
1 1 had saved, on which we llved liv'ed.j
oa-1 sohapplly that even, at ihls dis-
4 luui'U lb ueeius u, ucuveuiy uii-aiu tuu.
bright for earth., Jlllly was always
trustful that1 her father would relent;
and' I always believed that I should
Boon obtain another' appointment, buf,
vve were both deceived.
' Tl'mo rolled on; our llttlo capital, was,
nearly gone, our hopes almost exhaukti
Jed, but bur love bloomed 'as fresh as
eyer. I tried literature, and made, a
fey? dollars; but my manuscrlpta but
too often came back without' being
read. Still I struggled on, and wrote
.several songs, which had a certain
amount of success; and ouco more hope
seemed to beam upon us.
Mllly Heaven bless her fancied
.that I should soon become famous; that
tho whole country would rlng'wlth my
name, and tuen her rattier wouia ue
glad to forgive ns. What might havo.
happened had I not met with such mis
fortunes, Heaven alone knows I can
not say; but In tbe midst of this bright
happiness my wife wa9 taken ill.- It
was consumption. I worked day and
nlnht to, procure the necessary medi
cines, and food for hor;'I wrote to her
father, but received no reply; I went
from publisher 'to publisher hawking
my songs abont; selling them almost
for anything to buy bread. Oh,-how
they ground me down I Men who had
had successful songs from me,- nov
that thoy saw me in poverty, cut' down
the prices until starvation was 'close
npon me.
One. afternoon I shall pover forget,
it I left poor Mllly in bed she could
not rise and went to seek' for work
I called at her father's, but was turned,
away from tho door. I wandered about
from one place to another, but all my
efforts we're fruitless. I could -not-
earn a cent. Jleart-hronen and weary,
I turned homeward. I had not money
to buy eyen a lost ot bread Several
times I paused 'as a' well-drossed man-
approached me, Rod determined to tjeg,
but tbe words choked me, and they
passed on without 'noticing my distress,
When they passed I was" ashamed at
having thought ot begging, aud -yet
ansry within myself that I- .bad 'not
done so.
I was standing at. tho .corner, of a
street, tniniung wnat .i, pnuuiu uo tor

I'recelv'ed a hearty' slap on the about

''Well, Burden,'' he cried, "you
don't seem happy. 'You Icok as' pheas
ant, as though you lad. loit a dollar and
found a cent.'1
"Happy I" 'I exclaimed; "happy I
with a wifo dying ot consumption and
and starvation I"
"Dear roe I that's very sad I Why
don't yon work?"
"Work I I have sought viork far and
near, I have done everything, but
without success."

"The muslo trade is bad, and no
mistake; but still I think something
might be done. Your songs have suc
ceeded pretty well. Now what time
wbuid It take you to write roe four
songs?"
That all depends npon what sort
you want," I replied.:
"They, must be bacchanalian full of
life.: You, understand?" 1
!.Yes."
'(And I must have them tho first
thing u tho morning."
"That Is a short time."
"It Is; but ready.money, yon know,"
be replied.
"On these terms I agree."
"Very we'lli thon. Now, about tho
price.- You know the muslo trade is
very bad at present. I can't give you
much, so we will say 'three guineas for
the loti"
"What 1" I exclaimed; three guineas
for four songs, and one guinea In ad
varJc'o." 1
"I can't give yoii a cent more.' '
Ai he 'spoke,' he drew a sovereign
from his pocket, and1 held It Invitingly
between his linger and thumb. The
sight of the money was too' tempting;
so, without further demur, I agreed to
wrltd the songs'.' ' '
' '"Mlhd, I have them early tomori
row," 'ho said'. "It you do' not bring
jthem to mo by ton I shall send for
.them."
I hurried away to purchaso some
'fdo.i tor ray wife, and also to procure
.some medicine. I bought a roll, and,
ate it, so. that I could.tell her that I had
'dined out; for I, needed all the money
for her.
Among ,tho things I nought was,
some-brandy, 'the doctor havlrigorderod'
Mllly to drink' it. Laden with those
poor things, which to me looked heaps
of riches, I hurried homeward,
Poor Mllly, when I reached her bed
side and showed her what ,1 had
brought, 'met mo with a smile of patient
love that atm6st'broke my heart. She
tasted a little food', and drank a .small
glass ot weak brandy and water, then
fell into a light sleep.
Illneis'at the best times is torrlbte;
but when, wo sit alono and seo all we
love. fading fast, the diseaso hided by
want to see the thin; palo faco so like
death in life to know that before long
even tbe sad pleasure ot tendlne on It
will do. lost, and.bcforo, we .can give it
proper care this, Indeed, is awtu)
s I sat, watchlng'and thinking, I
became desperate; ray brain seemed on
'fire' and. my mouth' parched. Seizing
tho brandy bottle, l poured out; a. large.
class of spirits and drank it oft. It
steadied my nerves, and I sat down to
commence ray song;
For some time I could gain ,no.
thoughts. The dull silence of the-
night, broken only by the heavy
breathing ot, my wire, and a low, pur
ring sound, that rattled at her chest.
palled upon me. The dnllj glimmer
ing light1 of the candle that threw a'
melancholy light over our wretched
room; thin, wodgcd-ll0 face, halt in
shade, that reposed on tho pillow; the
ghost like hand that lay so still,
stretched out oa tho 'cayorlet all'
seemed to.- crush me. How, with such,
thlngs around me, could I wrlta ot
mirth, drink and Jolity 1
I pressed my hands over my eyes,
and, the, 'hot tears forced tbemsolves'
through' my fingers.- I grew hysterical.,
