Suffice it. to say, as--I said before, my mind was made up; . . • 11y the way—in pasmog—l wits forty, My eldest son was fifteen, already lidquiriug false notions, false habits, false everything. • My daughter, Ella Eugenie, alwayscalled Ella, was in her fourteenth' year, and my pet, Alexis, bad already Writikii t io a bold, school boy hand—" I am ten to-day,"_ In my wife I had *confidence. She was a noble woman ' strict, but gay, honorable and very beautiful. That she loved me I never doubted. I raised from a position of .almost, absolute beggary to independence. Yea, I could not doubt that she loved me, but. yet, the human heart is. a * strange thing; mine Was—is. 'I wisbeeto'test her. Row .often. had she said—"lf you. die; Alexia, I - will Der- - er marry." Well, I wanted to tee if there was one woman—bold I I have said before that a hallucination possessed me. I bad made some precioularrangements . — I bad left everything for my wife and chil dren save smile linnet' and in extra suit or two of broadcloth.- I had now kiared her for the last. time, perhaps. I won't *n tic ipa t e-- don't like authors who do. Oms my library shelves I left a great deal of sheep's braids done up in calf-skins. 'Candidly, I never liked books of any kind.- Pisrbaps you won't think any the better of me for that. I Garet say that. I care much whether you do or not. But to my story. I 'left dune' auperbe statuary that.,cost a small' fortune. I left pictures whose prices would have beggared some men; they had helped beggar me, but, as said before, I had-made my Wife comfor table. So much I put out of the hands of my Creditors, and .yet they were recompen sed more than ie.usual in such cases. • • After .1 bad written the, note I read it sev eral lilies, and each perusal made me better pleased with it. I sat idly. looking from , my bedroom window, a few minutes after. There was some commotion in the street. Oppo kite dangled three golden balls. often [had wished that some friendly-fire - might turn that place into ashesl--it seems son.at oral that ashes' Should be the end oreveryr thing. Now a cart rattled dowis and stood fronting the door; A few bundles were thoan in, a chair or two, and an old desk, and the window stood' blank and .deserted. The broker bad broken. •He had dead-failed, only in a !esti ambitions way than myself. • That very moment a strange thought took possession of ' Me. If Strange thought were devils, 'I abould . ofted, be' in a worse strait than was'Mary Magdalen—for there are some times more tha,n seven iueme. • My tho - ught was this: I would turn broker. I left the note I had sealed where my Wife would be su're toaee it when she carne home. Ella and my pet bad gone visiting with her, and I knew they sioultl stay tO'tea.. I hur ried off to an old Jew by the° iame of Elam, and found him at home. • " Well, • what d 3 you - watit he,cried, wrinkling his long nose, his eyes like two un cut diamonds abinieg straight - • .

He laughed, and wrinkled his long nose and twinkled his bright eye!. All this was very. queer work for a Mall 'who contemplated his own funeral. "When will youi friend take the ihop," asked Elam. - "Perhaps in two days." . "And , if he not pay me goist when the two -months gol" • ° "Turn turn him' out," I Teplied. "Ab I I turn him,".
