But ho bos left n son who benrs

His hat is new and gay ;
He cannot bear to view distrotf,

His pants are gaiters fitting snug,
O'er patent leather shoes ;
His hair is by a barber curled
Ho smokes cigars and chews.
A chain of massive gold is borne
Above his flashy vest ;
His clothe aro bolter every day
Than Were old Orimcs' best.
In Fashion's court he constant walks,
Whero hedolijrht doth shod ;
His bauds aro nluto nnd very soft,
Rut softer is bin head.

Histeil. are pearly white;

And sometimes very tiht.
His manners arc of sweetest giaco,
His voice of softest tone ;
His diamond pin's tho very ono
That Old Orimcs used to own.
His mouslnchc adorns bis faco,
His neck, a soiirf of blue ;
lie sotictiiues pocs to church for chahy
And sleeps in Uriuies' pew.
He sports the fastest "cab" in town,
IsuUvaysipiick to bet ;
He never knows who's President.

He iir.s drank wines of every kind.
And liquor o ild and hot ;

Ir. Cnrtnn put up his ponderous goi. t i
eye glatscs ns he spoke, with the air ot an
autocrat whose slightest wishes are law.
Little: Cai lie Lynda nesllcd on tlicsobt, held
tight to her mother's hand nnd regarded the
doctor with wide open blue eyes. Mis.
Lynde sighed softly.
"1 doubt whether Mi. Lynde can nfl'ord
the expense of fun. I'm:; his family into the
country this ecuson, doctor."
"Afford it, mu'tim ! AlW. it I AVhy. all
!ho world knows how fas-t your husbund is
mnking money, and excuse me, Mrs. Lynde,
but I am a plain man all tendencies to a.
parsimonious llie ought to be checked iu tho
hud."
Mrs. Lynde blushed an indignant crimson.
"Dr. C.'aiM'ii, I do not like to hear that
word applied to my husbund."
The doctor took his hat. "The powder
ut eleven perfectly rjiiiet, and my little
patient will do very wall. Ar.d retncmbei
w hat I lecunimcnd lo you ubout the coun

After llie doctor hud taken his departure,
Mr. Lynde sat tuiuking on what he had
said.
"Charles is a poor man," b'iic uuiseil "
man who is dependent on his practice as a
lawyer for daily bread. I knew it when
j mai iied him nor have I ever regretted leav
j ingthe luxury of lieech Grove lor his hum
i bier, quieter home. As for my Charles being
j parsimonious, don't I kmir belter f"
j The rosy glow was still mantling Mrs.
Lynde's cheek at the bare idea, when a
; cheery voice sounded on her ear.
I "Well, how is Carry to night ?"
"Charles, is it you ? How you startled
; nie " I
He was a frank, noble-looking man, with !
clear dark eyes, nnd a smile thut bughtcned ,
hjg whole face.
Am I so stnrtling ?
What does the doc-
! tor say t"
i "lie says the children must all go to the
I caui.try this summer, with as little delay as
j posbible."
Mr. Lyntle siigiitiy contracted ins orows.
"I am not sure that we can afford it Alice."
"That 19 what I thought, myself but, oh,
Charles, if their health perhaps their life
depends upon it, ought we to hesitate ?"
Mr. Lynde sat down, whistling quietly
under Lis breath.
"No. I suppose not but, Alice, it is a
tcrriblo draft on a fellow's purse just now 1"
Alice Lynde felt n cold chill ut her heart
--was it possible thot Dr. Carson' words
had a foundation in truth ? Was her bus
baud becoming a prey to tho terrible dragon
of avarice '( Mr. Lynda went on :
"I supposu I must try to Cud somo farm
house or other whero they wou't charge the
children's weight in gold. Alice, do you
never sigh after tha velvet lawns and shady

the old stone house,

"No!" said Mrs. Lynde stoutly.
"Ar..w, Alice V
"Well, sometimes I can't help thinking
how nice it would be fur the children. 1
wonder if the old man Mho owns it has any
children."
'A childless widower, I believe. Dut nil
this bus very little to do with the question
ot your summer exile. Ol course you'll need
no extia wardrobe to go to a farm-house
where there are no fashionable dames n'ld
demoiselles to criticise your toilet V
"Carry nnd Lucy have quite outgrown
their summer clothes, Charles and Prank has
nothing at all to wear. I Mipposo I might
jjet alnnj;, although I need a new tr.xvtliiij;
dress sadly."
"Try to dispense with it nt present, that's
a dear, economical little purs."
"Charley," said Mrs. Lyudc, speaking up
suddenly from the impulsu of her heart, "is
not your business prosperous just at pre-:

"Prosperous ? Yes."
"Then w hy do you perpetually urge upon
mo tho necessity of economy '("
lie colored a little she thought ho ap
peared somewhat confused at her abrupt
question.
"There are a great many outlet for our
money, Alice, of which you can scarcely form
an adequate idea. Eight o'clock, is it f
Then I must be off. Good night, my love-
I'll try to be borne before eleven 1"
Mil. Lynde was sitting by Carrie's sofa, at
her sewing, the next day, when' Miss Priscilla
Forbes was ushered in.

"Miss Priscilhi Torbei saw you start."
"I w ish iVIis9 Priscilhi Forbes would bo

Alice was silect a minute then she asked:
"J)id you find a place for the childicu V
"No," was the brief icply.
Alice inquired no further she felt hurt
and resentful, and Charles paid no attention
to Iter silence. If lto could have only wit
nessed the passionate hurst of teatsshegavc

her sleeping ones I
The farm-house to which she. nnd her chil
dicu were to be banished for the summer
was not a very inviting spot, well shaded,
however, with n stream of running Wnter
through the. grounds, and plenty of. fresh
milk am', vegetables. I!al Alice Lynde felt
the lack of cheerful nnd congeiii.d society,
and pined seerel ly, even while Frank, and
Carry, and little Lucy, were growing sun
burned, and rosy, urn! healthy.

scarcely to be wandered : t that she recur

For Charles i.ymte'a sake . -lie had given up

threat. one afterward tvirtied releullc-isly
into i tl'ect ol ilisinheiittiiH c : had submit-
ted to a!! llie
rials a:id evils which must
necessarily surround a poor man's wife
and now Charles left her alone to amuse
herself as best she might.
So while the children grew fat nnd rosy,
Alice rrrew thin ond pale.
' He will co, ue to-night," alio thought, one
Saturday evening, as she brushed her glossy
golden hnir into the shining bunds he liked,
and put on his favorite blue muslin dress,
with a long torqnnic pin in the blue tib-i
bons that set off the Iransparcnt whiteness '
of her throat. "Oh. it seems an a-ro since I
saw him l ist !''
But instead of her husband' presence,
the up train from iSew lork brought only
a note, burned and briel :
"Dkaii Alice: I cannot come up to
night business is too pressing. Love to '
the children. C. L."
The iifte tell from Alice's fingers a sick
ening sensation came over her heart.
And 1 watched for him so unxiously. Oh 1
I can it bo possible Unit lie lias ceased to love ; :mi sue lias noining oi v, nut is called 'socie

i Ou Monday a letter from Dr. Cat'son was nine lo a very hih nndjrare degree iu one of
oiougiiti to .lirs. i.ynoe a iciier luciusnio Ik
letter for her husband.
'Flcuse give this to Mr. Lynde," wrote tho
doctor ; "1 was nt his office twice on Satur
day afternoon, trying to find him, but the
doors were closed, and the clerk told mo he
had gone into the country. Tell him lie's a
lazy fellow to neglect business so, when his
business is making him rich so fust.
Alice Lynde rend the words three times
over before tho fairly took ill their whole
meaning.
'JIu has deceived mc,' she thought. 'It j
was not the convenient plea of business that i
kept him away from mc ! Oh, Charles, L
Charles! anil has it conic to tins r
She sat down, still claspinir tho letter in
her unconscious hand, nnd gazed vacantly
out upon the supny landssapo that lay be
fore her.
'If it were not for llie children if It were
not for mv little oues, I would iro away and
never look unon his face any morel lie I
loves me no longer the affection 1 so blind- j
ly deemed my own is transferred to some '
other object and w hy should I care what
becomes' of nie ? Only the children 1'
And as blue eyed Carry'ran up to her to
ask somo trilling questions, Mrs. Lyude
diew the child closer to her heart aud burst
into tents.
'Mamma !' exclaimed tho astonished little
girl, "why do you cry V Are you sick, mam
ma V
'Sick! yes,' sobbed poor Alice, 'I am sick
of living. 1 am sick at heart, cliild.'
And tho plentiful shower ol tears helped
to relieve her overcharged heart.
'I will endure it for the sake of these little
ones; I will suffer on aud try to be silent,'
thought Alice, pressing both hands over her
aching -bosom,
The next week Mr. Lynde was to come
and bring his family homo. Alice looked
forward to the day with a sick nnticipn-ion
a shrinking expectation. Sho longed for
tho hour oi their meeting, uud yet she
dreaded it.
ln this nervous 6tnto of excitement she
came to the door, leading little Lucy, us the
carriago v, heels grated over the stony coun
try road, and stopped in front ol the old
fashioned portico.
lint Charles wis not there only the driver
who touched his hat with an awkward
attempt at politeness, as he descended from
the box.
'If yoti please, ma'nm, Mr. Lyudc could
not come but he'll be there to meet you.'
More neglect ! Alice answered not it word,
but tho hands with which eIio tied tho tluo

Once or twice the idea ciossed her brain
that the journey was rather longer than sho

"Mr. Kdward Wilson, w hose labors in tho
department of acclimatization are universally
recognised, nud to whom, if 1 mistake not,
Australia owes its sparrows, has ascertained
that no less thnn fourteen hull died cockcha
fers' wings have been found below the nest
of ouo pair of sparrows. Koch female insect
produces about forty grubs, which burrow
for three years in the grottud, preying upon
tho crops during tliM time to an enormous
extent. As many as one hundred thousand
of these grubs have been found on one acre
of land, and as each acre w ill grow about
forty thous.'.nd mangolds nr turnips thero
are about three grubs to each root 1 In somo
years the damage (lone by this single insect
in Prance alone has been estimated at the
astounding sum of 4' 10,000,000 ! A very
simple calculation shows that simply iu feed
ing their young a single pair ol sparrows
annually prevent the production of fourteen
thousand grubs, nnd the account in favor of
tho birds is uot yet complete, for sparrows
by no means restrict themselves to cock
chafers, even when these delicacies are iti
