Yet there «s some things' that ren dered this smell- salary a hard trial to' them—circumstances with whjplr liU' employers were unacquainted. Hi 6 mother was k widow. 1 The' death of Mr. '.rones' had thrown th’e'en-. tire family upon their own, resdiirces, ami these weie indeed but slender.' 1 Tbeir was au older slstet'whbAssist ed, her mother to sbtv, arid this With' Edward’s salary confijitutedthe entire L iWa«Wlflf th* family,' 1 •Afei .fejp -tffMyibiifc untiring industry, the)' had coptinuetf thus far to live, I'using stricrecanomy' of course. Yet they had '‘tyahtednone of the absolute necessities of ‘life! But Mary .Tones—Edward’s Bitter— grew sick. She had taken a severe chid which terminated in a fever. This noi, only cut off the income arisirig from her own labor, but also prevented her mother from accomplishing as much as she would otherwise have been, able.' to do. On the morning of the day on which our story commences, Mary, had «r -pressed a longing for an orange. In her fever it would have been most grateful to her. ■ It is hard indeed when we are obliged to deny to those w.e love that which would lie a refreshment and a benefit to them. Mrs. Jones felt this, and so did Ed ward. “I only wiah I could buy you one, Mary,” said Edward, just as he. set out for the store. ‘‘Next year I shall re ceive a larger salary, and then we won’t have to pinch so much.” ‘‘Never mind, Edward,” said Mary, smiling faintly,. “I ought not to have asked tor it, knowing how hard you and. mother find it to get along with me.” “Don't trouble yonraelf about that; Mury.” said Mrs. Jones soothingly, though her heart sank within hlr at the thought of her empty larder. well, aud we Bhall get along well enough atterwards.” It was with a memory of this scene lhat Edward went to the store in the morning. .m. All around were boxes of "rich goods, 1 representing thousands of dollars in money. . “Oh,” thought he, ‘if I only had the value of one ot these boxes, how much good it would do poor Mary.’ And Ed ward sighed. The long day wore away at last, and Edward was then about to close the warehouse. * But as he passed the desk of his em ployer, his attention was drawn to a bit of paper lying on the floor beneath. lie picked it up, and to his great joy found it to be a ten dollar bill. The first thought that flashed upon him was, ‘How much good this will do Mary. I can buy her the oranges she wants, and she shall have some every day; and perhaps she would like a chicken.’ But a moment later his countenance fell. “It isn’t mine,’ he sighed. ‘lt must be Mr. Hubbard’s. This js his desk, and he must have dropped it.’ “Still,” urged the tempter, ‘he will never know it. And after all, what are ten dollars to him? He is worth a hun dred thousand.’ Still Edward was not satisfied. Whether Mr. Hubbard' could spare it or not, was not the question. It wasTigbt fuliy his, and must be given back to him. “I’ll go to his house, and give it to him this very night,” said EdwaTd .Otherwise I will be tempted to keep it.’ He determined to go toMT. HuDbard’s before he went home. The sight of his’ sick sister wofild perhaps 'weaken his resolutions and this mußt never be. ’ He must preserve his integrity at all haz ards. He knew where Mr. Hubbard lived: It was a large, flue looking ■ house; oh a fashionable street."He had' passed it several times, and wondered whether a man must not feel happy who Is able to live in snch style.'- Without unnecessary delay, therefore be went’ to the house, and, ascending *the steps, rang the bell.
