SPEAK NO Hit
Nsy, apeak no ill ; a kindly word
Can never leave sting behind ;
And ob, to breath each tale we've heard
Is far beneath a noble wind ;
For oft a better eed I sown
By chnalng thus kinder plan ;
For if bnl little good we've known,
Let' (peak of all tbe good we can.
Olve me the bearl that fain would hide,
Would fain another' fault efface.
How can it pleaee our human pride
To prove humanity but baao ?
No, let it reioh a higher mode,
A nobler eatiruat of mnn ;
Oe earncat In the aearch of good.
And apeak of all the beat w can.
Then apeak no ill, but lenient be
To other's feeling aa vour own t
If you're tbe first a fault loses,
lie not Aral lo make It known.
For life ie but a pausing flood
No lip can tell how brief the stay ;
Do earnest in the search for good i
And speak of all the beat we may.

It struck Unci Tom, whllo they
sot nt tho table, that thoro war a
gtnvo turn to tho cornori of bia fa
vorito Hetty's rod mouth, and a sad
loook in her syoi, which wero not
thcro at liia but visit, and he missed
her bright, joyoua ways,' exceedingly.
And after supper he noticed that,
whilo they all chatted bo merrily,
Ilt-t ty sut silently knitting and gnz
:n ihDhtfu!ly into the tiro. Now
L' ntlo Tom loved Ifclly so much that
he eoul l not be very fl ippy bimscll
whi!o nho was sod, 60 his iir.:t thouLt
to find out the trouble, that ho
mi-ht apply tho romerly.
He said nothing that oight, but
the next morniug ho was standing n
lono by the sitting-room firo when
Hetty nrept the hoarth, and as she
finishsd, ho put hh hand under hor
dimplod chin, nnd raUiog her Nwect
fa"0 ftuid, kindly :
"''fit, is llio uiatler with
oew oalf the diflleulty.
Later la the evening Wallace Cur
tis camo la, and then unele saw tbe
liphtootuo to Hetty's eves, and iho
bloom to her cheeks, spits of the half
frightened (,'taco he caBt at hir
mother. He glsocod at his sister too,
and saw that sho sat upright as a
post as etero and erim ns she al
ways looked when sho was awfully
displeased ; so bo concluded ha knew
the other half too. . .
He saw fletty jerk hr hand away
from Squire Parker, wbort the risi-
tors dipartcd, ond,taadio(j purposely
between bis irate sister and the youn
ger ones, be saw Wallace Curtis take
the same littlo hand and raise it to bis
lips m tbo shadow. .
.And after they were gone, be saw
that Hetty kept the) other little band
olaspod over the one which bad re
oeived tbe carets,' as t if sho would
keep tbe sweet impress, there as long
as aha eonld, ? , . . '.
Uncle Tom ba4 half aa idea (bat
after aba bad shortly dismissed Hetty
to bod, his sister Maria tuoaot to coo-
suit bin rogardiog the afTatra. But
sister Maria knew soft-hearted Uncle
Tom too well for that. Hoaidea, aba
was provoked at him for not telling
her more about bis own iff airs. Many
tlmsa she bad ti iod to find out whoth-
er or not bie business in tbo city was

Next dsy ho watched for another

ho stood beside hor nt tho parlor win

which tho only answered by a cold
nod, and then Uoele Tom aalcod :
" Well, Ilotty, girl, which is it to

" And Sqnit o I'arkcr ia rich, ia he ?"
" Yea ; and fifty years oM, nnd as

" Yos, Oh, uncle, what shill I do ?
They have determined that I shill

only a week off, What (.hall wo do,

" Well perhaps wo will soo what

ly. " Keen quiet, Hetty, nnd if I
can help you, I Will."
Hetty gate him a tbnnkful glance.
for her mother coming In, sho darol
do no moro. lut she niched ns sho
thought that only money could help

notie to apare.
Uuelo Tom's sympathy did not, in-
deed, seem likely to do much g.iod,
for tho day before Christmas came.
nod he had never even said another
word lo Hetty,- .Early in tho tuorn.
In uuelo went over tj llm villain
lie met Wulluce Curtis, nnd told him
that Hotly wanted him to eomo out
io tho nfiornoon and tako her sleigh
riding. Walluce looked very much snrpri:;.
ed, for Hetty hud never tnndo sueli a
i i quojt of him before ; but he prom
ised lo cotno, and then Unelo Tom
weut homo.
At three o'clock, accordingly, tin
diuvo Wul.ucc, in a Lutidnumo sluigh,
with two stroni? boy horses. Hetty
oould not (jiiito conceal hor surprise,
at which Wallace looked .much puz
zled, Lmtonlv rcneatod his invitation
to go out ridin;'.
Hotty gave n startled glunca at her!
mother. That Iu ly promptly rpoke up.
"Hetty connot yo out this after
on." lloth tho young folki' ciunlcnancc?
'I, but Uncle Tom put in a word :
Oh, yes ; let her go, Marin. I
.uld liko to go with them myself."
" Vciy well, if yon po, I havo no
jjoolions," suid Hetty's mother.
And Hetty said : "I daro say wc
mnko room for three."
id Wallaeo thus urged, could
nelp saying : "Thoio nro two

'meat.
on your prettiest d ma,'' whis-
nclo Tom, as Ilotty passed
poing to dress ; and Hetty
ifly yet willingly obeyed,
a tkey diove off, Uoclo Tom
.tetty occupied the back scat, and
Wallace tho front, at which sister
Maria looked well pleased.
Hut hor expression would hare
changod had she seeo them just after
they left the town, for then Undo Tom
said :
"Mr. Curtis, I havo a fancy for try.
ing your team. I can handlo n horse
if I km a city time. IMcase change

Wallace, nothing loth,' immediately
d)d so, looking very tuuch delighted
with tho change. It was astonishing
to see how deeply Undo Tom instant
ly became absorbed ia those horses,
sad as for the lovers, they really were
so absorbed la each other that they
did not evon notice, which way Unolo
Tom was driving, until ho stopped at
t lame white gate, loading up a snowy
lane to a pretty farm-bouto.
Then Hetty asked : ' ' ; ,
" Why, Uncle Tom, where aro you

"Well, if you are not, yon soon

from the Creek words aik'n;fvini " to

ence tremor, depression, and a wretch

they revive toward night, uro never
quito sober, and, beforo they go to bed,

It is one thing to earn money, and
another to make tbe best uso of it alter

wages make small difference to the
comfort of some homes. The more a
man, who has no idea of thrift or
economy earns, the more he spondd' ,
