The rough rubs of the world never oblit erate them. Thcv are the memories of home—only home. There is the old tree, under which the lioht hearted boy lias swung many a day ; yonder is the river in which he learned to swim, there is the house in which lie knew a parents protec tion—nay, there is the room in which lie romp'-d wirii brother ai d si'ter, long since laid in the yard in which he must soon he gathered, overshadowed by yon old church whither, wiih r joyous troop like himself, he had often followed his parents to wor ship, and heard the good old man whp ministered at the altar Even the very school house, associated in youthful davs with thoughts of tasks, now comes to bring pleasant remembrances of many occasions that called forth some generous exhibition noble traits of human nature. There is where he learned to feel some of his first emotions. There, perchance, he first met tiie b- ing, who, by her love and tenderness in life, has madt a home for himself happier than that ivhicli his childhood had kn>wn. There are certain fellings of humanity— and those, too, among the best—that can find no appropriate place for their exercise only at one's fireside. A clergyman, one Sundav, at the close of a sermon, gave notice to the congrega tion, that in the course of the week, he ex pected to co on a mission to the heathen. One of his parishoners exclaimed "Why mv dear sir you have never told us one I * word ot this before. What shall we do ?" "Oh ! brother," said the minister, 4 1 don't expect to go out of town."

I wish you would let rne have a couple of dollars " Kate Landman spoke very careTllv, for she knew that Iter hnsbaud had not much money to spare; yet she spoke ear nestly, and there was a world of entreaty in her look. "What do you want money for?" asked Albert, not very pleasantly. "I want to get some braid for my new dress." "I thought you had the materials all on I hand for that." "I thought I had ; but Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Thompson both have a trimming of'i braid upon theirs, and it looks very pretty, ' It is very fashionable, and it certainly adds I much to t he dies*." ' Plague take these women's fashions.— j Your endless trimmings and thing a ma- i gigs cost mere than dress is worth, It's nothing hut shell out it om-y when once a I woman thinks of a nerv dress." "Surely, Albert, 1 don't have many new | dresses. I try to bo as economical as i can." "It's a funny kind of economy, at alii events, liut if you must have it, I sup- j pose ycu must " - Ami Albert Landman took out his purse, and counted the the money ; hut he give it grudjongly ; and when he put tin yurse back into his pocket, he did it with an emphasis which seemed to say that he would nut take it out again for a week. W hen Albert reached the outer door, on his way to his work, he found the weath er so threatening that lie resolved to go back and get bis umbrella ; and upon re entering the little parlor he lound his wife io tears. She tried to hide the fact but she bad been caught in the act, and she was a-ked what it meant. "Good gracious !'' cried her husband, "1 should like to kuoAv if you are crying at what 1 said about vonr dress?" "I wasn't crying at what you said, Al bert,'" leplied Kate, tremulously : "but you were so reluctant to grant me tiie lit tle favor. I was thinking how hard 1 work —how I am tied to tiie house—how many little things 1 have to perplex me ; and then to think—" "Oh, pshaw! li'hat do you want to be I so fool sli lor ? ' And away started Albert land on a sec ond time; but not to escape si easily. In the passage he was met by bi< daughter. Lizzie, a bright eyed, rosy cheeked girl, ten years of age. "Oh. pupa, give rne twenti-five cents.'' "W hat ?" "Oh, 1 want twenty-five cents. Do please givd it to rne." "U I.at in the world do you want it far 1" "1 want to buy a hoop. Lliett Kinith lias got one, and So has Mary Allen, Mr. Gram has got some pretty on.s to sell.— May lit I h..veonc?" "Nonsense ! I can't afford to be buying hoops tor yoir to truudle about tire streets. "I'lease papa." "No, 1 till you !'" The bright blue eyes were filled with tears, and as the eliild's sobbing broke up on his ear Albert Landman hurtiett front the house with some very impatient words upon his lips. This was in the morning. At one o'clock, when he catne to his dirtier, there was a cloud over the household. His w.fe was serious; and lie was silent; and even little Lizzie, usually so gay and Lithesome, was sad and silent. But these things could not hist long in that household ; tor the husband and wife luVed each other devotedly, and iure reai ly at heart, kind and lot bearing. When Albert came home to his tea, Kau greeted hitn with a kiss, and in a moment the sun shine came back ; and bad the lesson end ed ilinre the husbafid might have 'ancied that lie Lad done nothing wrong—that the cloud had been but the exaltation of a do mestic ferment for which LO one was par ticularly responsible; though Le might not have banished the conviction that wo men s fashions were a nuisance, as well as a frightful draft upon husband's pockets. Alter tea Albert lighted a pipe aud walked oui. He had gone but a short uis ance when lie met Lizzie. In her right hand she dragged an old hoop, which had been taken ft out a dilapidated flour barrel, while with her left she was rubbing her red swollen eyes. She was in deep grief, for she WH- sobbing painfully. He stop ped Ins child and asked what was the mat ter. Site answered, as well as her sobs would let bur, that the other giris bad lauglicd 1 at her, and made fun of the old hoop. — Tin y a'l had nico, pretty hoops, while hers w;t* homely and ugly. "Never miud," said Albert, patting the little one upon the head—for the child's grief touched him—"perhaps we'll have a ttc w hoop some time." "Mayn't I have one now ? Mr. Grant's got one left —oil ! such a pretty one ihe sobbing had ceased as the child Caught her lathers hand eagerly. "Not now, Lizzie—nut now I'll think of it." Sobbing again, the child moved on to wards home, dragging the old hoop aiter hei. Presently Albert Landman met some of his friends. "Hallo. Albert; what's tip?" "Nothing in particular,"' "\\ hat d'ye v.ty to a game of billiards ?" "Good ! I'm in tor that." An t away Albert \v lit to the billiard room where he had a glorious time with his friends. He liked billiards. It was a healthy, pretty game; and the kfeper of the place allowed no nonsense upon iRe premises. Fhey had p'ned four game*. Albeit had won two, and his opponent had also won two i "That's two and two," cried T-m Piper. 1 1 "What d've say to one more?" t, j "All right—go on," replied Albert, full . I of animation. ! | So they payed for the fifth game, and ; he who lost was to pay for the five games. I. It was an exciting contest ; both mad i capital strokes; bat in the end Albert was • | beaten by thiee points; and with a light j laugh he went up to settle the bill. Five games—twenty five cents a game—a dol j lar and a quarter. Not m-ich that for j such sport ; and be paid the n oncv witli . a good grace, never once seeming to feel J that he couldn't afford it. | "Have a cigar ?" said Tom. j "Yes." 1 hey lighted their cigars, and then i sauntered to another room to watch other ! players. | By-and-by, Albert found himself seated i over against a table at which some of his I friends Avere playing; and close by him stood two gentlemen—both strangers to I him —one of Avhom was explaining to the j other the mysteries of ilie game. "ft is ah althy pastime," said he who I had been making the explanation," and ! certainly it is one which can have no evil i i tendenov," | Alb rt heard the rein-irk very plainly, j and lie had a curiosity to hear what the i other, who seemed unacquainted with bill- I iards would say | "I cannot, of course, assert .hat any game which calls for skill and judgment and Avhieh is tree from the attendant cur-e ot gaining, is ot tt.-elf an evil." remarked the second gentleman. "Such things are only evils in so tar as they excite and stimulate men beyond the bounds of healthful recreation." "That result can hardly f.'How such a game,' said the liise speaker.

I wot)id not cry down the gain •of hill lands: tor it I understood it I should certainly try you a game now; but whenever I vis.it a p ice of this kind, lam led to retl ct upon a strange and prominent weakness of human nature a developed in our sex. l-'or instance, oh sevve the young man who is ju-f now set tling his score. He looks like a clerk : and I should sav from hi* manner, and tiom the fact that he feels it his duty to go home at this hour that he has a wife and children. 1 see by ids fict that he is kind-lnarted arte generous, and I should judge lie meant to do about a* near ririit a- he can.

Am I not right ?" "L poi. my soul.' responded tiie man who undi rstood billiard*, "vou speak to the. print Ah !it is well lor such wives and children that they do not know where all the money goes !" The game was finished ; the two gen tlemen moved on ; and Albert Landman arose from his scat and left the phice.— Never before had be had just such thoughts as now possessed him. He had never dwelt upon tiie same group ng of ideas.— That very morning his own true, faithful, loving wife had been sad aud heart sick because lie had harshly and unkindly met her request for a small sum of money.— And his sweet Lizzie had crept away to her home almost broken hearted for the want of i simple toy such s her mates possessed. And vet the sum of his little one's wants amounted to not as much as lie had paid away that evening for billiard playing. Albert Landman wanted to be an hon- j est husband and father, and the lesson i was not lost upon him On his way home j he stopped a Mr. Grant's and purchased the best and prettiest limp to he found, with a driving stick painted red and wlfiie and hue; and in the morning when he beheld his chil-l'a delight, and had receiv ed her grateful, happy kiss, the question earn- to hi* mind — ivlneli AAUS die best ai d happiest result—this, or five gam-s of bill iards ?

"Albert, if von could spare me a LAV ihillars this morning." "Certainly mv love. Anything in rea son to make yon happy." And out camt the purse, and the money was handed over with a warm gentle smile ! What!
