His gold chain had lost its charm. It did
not look so well, even in his own eyes, as
had the simple black cord which he had
worn before.
At length the end of the quarter camo

which was thirty-two dollars. The next
was the butcher's bill, which came to thir-
ty-six dollars. Charles was astonished to

"How much shall I lay up?" he repeat

about the matter, and let his wifo know all.
The slate was brought, birst she put

"Now you may put down twelve dollars

take all that from my quarter's wages.

She performed the sum, and gave fifty-

"Fifty-two dollars!" uttered Charles,
sinking back in his chair, "and wo have
