something clusped tightly in bin hand.
Cuming to uio he placed a dvo coal

Harry picked it up with tears run

" May I go and pluy with Eddie Por

"I doo'tcare whore you po,'' said
I crobsly, to you keep out of my

Harry went to the closet where bis

" Mamma, will you please lunrive

Ho stood by the door a moment, look

took no notice of bim. . I watched tbe

Twice a sudden impulse moved roo to

Ob, would to God I hid I Weill

I could bear this do longer. I rose
and picked up tbe stray litter about
the room to give it a more tidy ttp

Tbeu I went td tbe window, peer
ing anxiously through tbe gloom, but
seeing nothing of my boy. My heart
became terribly heavy j tbli sutpenst

Wo were sliding on tho mill pond
and there was a holo ia tho lee with
snow on it, and Harry didn't sco it,
and"
' Hunh, Eddie I" said bis mother,
looking at bim fearfully. " Hero is
Mr. Loring!"
There was a great silence in tbe
room, broken only by the blithe, sweol
voice of a etnnrv, and the pur ol a
mnttouxo eat. Presently Mrs. Porter
cntno toward mo, and placed her hand
sollly upon my choulder, saying.
" Klla my poor child P
I never moved, but sat with my
wide oioo eyes upon an awful piu

little boys playing upon it, one little

disappearing through the treacherous

wicked sin. ul words ringing through

I here wai a niixt betore my eye, a
ringing of my cars. I remembered
louving the hotie with a feeling of go

Amona-tbe maov unfortunate mis

and observation t
Christopher Goodhue at tbe ago of
forty bad amassed fortune la m
eeotile pursuit, and bad" lost bis health.
Ills f bysielaoe had told him b mast
leave the city, and quit bis present
business. aid tho man of medicine:
'Of course you must have employ
ment ; and that, too, of n kind that

ulties. Now I (limit my dear Mr.
Goodhue, that I have just the thing
for you. You hnvo been at Walker'
Falls up in Fl unk lin ?"
"Yes."
'-Well thot largo mills are for nle
both tho woolen mill and tho pnnor
mill, together with a machine shop be
longing to them. The owner is dead and
hit widow wii-hra to sell. Ono hun
dred thousand dollar cith, I am very
suro will buy the whole property.
You can pay that, and yet have tnough
left to make you indvpeude fit of want
or forced lubur whilo yoa live. An I
these if jou buy, you will naturally
improve twdorlhreo excellent water
privologvs which are now idle. Think
of il, my doar sir a healthy salubri
ous and invigorating mountain air ; a
retired and delightful local inn ; lisli
and game of all sorts ready for your
rod and gun whenever you feel like
relaxation; and tho very bet school
iu the country for your children "
.Mr uoodhue wai taken with the
I lea; but, like a prudent man he said he
would Hpeak with Ins Wilo. lie did so
and she, seniible woman, said. "Let
us got nwuy from the city. W e can bu
very happy iu the free, fresh air ; and
not only you, but tho children and my
self, will bo bolter and stronger."
So Christopher Uoodliuo went U1 to
Walker's Fulls, iu the beautiful vil
lage (timing tho mountains, nud bought
tho mills together with nil the uinui

thereafter ho lemoved thither with bis

Mrs- Cioodhuo smiled ; but the

her heart glad, und she aud tho girls

knew thai a wealthy business man
from the distant city hud bought the
mills; bevause tho.su. huiiiu mill", cm
ploying nearly two hundred hands,
were t lie lite ol the place; nud the
real good and prosiiciity of other bus J
iness depended, in a great measure, up
on their thrill and sueeesslul nmna-u-itirnt.
The principal store nt Wulkcr's FuIIm
wai kept by a mau iiiimcd llalph Sto

with whom bo had ghurcd tho liitlij

with bim honesty was policy, aud uoth

of bis nature, lie bud not laid uji
money. His trading was mostly 3ou
fiued to an old run of customers among
the neighboring farmers, while tboso
persons wbo bad money to pay
for their goods bud been monopolized
by tbe more stirring and schcmiug
Stover.
"I declare," said Slovcr, "I must go
and see Mr. Goodhue, aud make some
arrangements lor focuritig his custom
and bis orders. I culcuhito bis trade
and iofluenoo will bo worth more than
a thousand dollars a year cleur profit.
Ho must bave cot settled down by
this time and ready for business. 1
wish I knew what sort ol a man bo

I can read human nature pretty easi

when a laboring man ontored the store
u man habited in blue overalls and
a frock, wearing upoa bis head an old
straw hat.
'Mr Stovor, I thiok?"- said tho new
comer.
"Tbut's roy name."
The laboring man itartod at the
abruptness and bruskoess of the tone.
Uo was not used to outog answeruu
in that wiy ; nor was bo used to hear
ing traders speak so to a customer.
"I want to get a little paint, if you
please, Sirj I'm
' My boy will attend to yoa j I am
busy'
"liut, Sir, your boy may be as Igno
rant o! tbe compounds I require as 1
am. I am going to paint a floor, and
1 only know that 1 want some yellow
ochre, some litharge, and
"I am note painter, Sir," broke in
Mr. Stovor, roughly. "My toy will
put up whatever you wout."
"Thoo you canuot accommodate a
customer with the benefit of your
knowledge concoruiug the respective
quantitiea cf various articles fie may
require for a specified purpose ?"
"Knowledge isn't one of my trading
commodities. You'll find tbat at the
aoademy. Here, Jobo.. If this man
wants auvthing, aell It to him." And
thus sneaking. Mr. Btover put oa bis
bat m4 left tbs store, svidoatly tblok
iug that his customer, whom ho had
never seen, was either au itinerant
laboring man or n farmer from the
bock region, who would wunt to ray
for his goods in poplar wood or old
potatoes.
Halpli Stover went to the mills
where he found an architect and i
(Jnecr Irom the city supcrintcnilin
ex ensive improvements. Hut Mr
(Joudliiio wn not tjicre. l'hey tho'i
it likely iio was at his boCisc. So to
the house Mr. Stover wended hi way.
where ho wn informed by a hul.v
that if Mr. (ioodliuo had got back
bom an ennnd, upon which be had
been out, ho would probobly bo found
in (he garden.
Next to the garden, whero our en
terprising trader found a man in blue
overalls mid a frock, engaged iu mak
ing a flower bed.
"1 Mr. (Jondhuo about here?''
"Thai is my name, Sir,''
' Hut I menu tho limn who owncs

"I nm the man."
"Yen, eh? ' Mr. Stover beheld the
customer to whom ho behaved so inde
cently at his store.
"lieally, Mr. (ooJhuc, 1 had no idea,
I bud '
"If yyu have business with me Sir,"
interrupted (ioodbuo, respectfully,
but sternly, "I will attend to you;
otherwise my lime is very precious."'
"Upon my soul, Mr. (ioodhue, 1

"if I nidi to trade with you I will
call ut your htoro. I Mift'rr no man to

And whilo Mr. (ioodhue returned to
his work llulpli Stover had rend his

happily away.
Mr'tJooiliino found Khen Shnckford

und accommodating trader, anil with

and happy. The laborers in tho mills
obtained their goods vastly cheaper
than ever before; while llulpli Stover,

In the "Country tieutlonien'' of

For each 100 pounds of pork, weigh
