in four days I have been to every book
binder in the city, and not a bit of work
can I get." . -
''Bat have vou tried nothing else V
"What eWcati I "try?"
'Why, anything that you can do."
"Yes, I've tried other things. I have
been to more than a ujzen of n:y friends
and offered to help them if they would
Lire me."
-And what did you mean tD do fur
them T , .
''I offered to post their accounts, rrake
out bills, or attend at the counter."
Mrs. Stanwood smiled as her husband
thus frpokc.
"What makes you smile V he asked.
t;To think you should have i magi red
that you would have found work in such
places. But how is Mark Leeds V
"He has nothing in Lis house to cat."
It was a shudder that -crept over the
wile's frame now.
"Why do you tremble, wife ?"
"Because when we have eaten our
breakfa&t to-morrow morning, we sTudl have
nothing."
"Wliat!" cried Peter Stanwood, half
starting from his chair, "do yon mean
that ?"
"I do."
"But our flour ?"
"All gone. I baked the last this after
noon." "But we have pork ?"
"You ate the last this noon."
"Then we must starve groaned the
stricken man, starting across the room.
IV-tcr Stanwood was a. book bindor by
trad.?, and had been out cf employment
over a mouth. He was one of those who
generally calculate to keep about square
with the world, and who consider them
selves particularly fortunate if they keep
out of debt. He was now thirty years .of
age, and had been married eight ye.ars.
He had three children to provide- for, be
sides himsaJf and wife, and this, together
with house rent, was a heavy dr-iught
upon his purse even when work was plenty,
but now there wu ntbi?'"'
- - m10, nc!u, stopping and razing
his wile in the face, "we must starve, I
have not a penny in the world."
"3ut do not despair, Peter. Trv aeain
to-morrow for work. You may find some
thing to do. Anything that is honest is
honorable. Should yoa mke but a shil

"111 m.tke on-j more trial," uttered Pe-t'.-r,
d.-pairing'y. . .
k,jut you must go prepared to do any
thing." "Anything reasonable, Maria."
"Why anything decent."
The wife felt almost inclined to smile,
but the matter was to eerious for that and
a cloud passed over her face. She knew
her husbuid's disposition, and she felt

whk-h would not lower him in the social
scale as he hud once or twice expressed
it. However, she knew it would be of no
use to say anything to him now, and she
let the matter pass.
On the following morning, the last bit
cf food in the' bouso was placed on the ta
ble. Stanwood could hardly realize that
he was penniless and without fund. Pur
years he had been gay, thoughtless and
'oriunate3 making the most of the present,
forgetting the past, and leaving the future
to look for itself. Yet ihe truth was
n-ikcd v.ud clear; and when he lefc the
Louse he said : . .
"Soiiiething must be done."

Then Mrs. Stanwood locked tip her house
and went away. ho returned at noon
bringing some dinner for her children and
then went away again. She got home in
the evening before her LuAand, 'carrying
a heavy basket on her arm. .
"Well, Peter," sLe asked, after Ler
Lncband Lad entered and sat down "'what
luck?" . . '
"Nothing, nothing," he groaned. "I
made cut to squeeze a dinner out cf an
till chum, but I can't get work."
"And where have .you looked to-day?"
"Oh A. .even-where. I have been to a
hundred places, but it is the same evcrv
place. It is nothing but euic eternal 'no!'
I am sick and tired of it." ,
"But what sort of work have you offered
to do?" - -
"Why, ! even went so far as to offer to
tend adirjuor store1 down town'.9, ,
The. wife smiled. . : ,

Low? where ? what?",
Why, first I went to Mrs. Snow's; I
knew her girl was sick and I hoped she
might have work to be done"' 1 went fo
her and told her my story, nml she set me
to 'ivork at ice doing her'washing. She

"Of course T have, and have thereby

"But how about the rent V
"C)U ! I Lave scon Mr. Stimson, and
told just how we are situated, and offered
him ny watcL as a pledge fur the payment
cf the rent within two months, with the
interest on all arrears up to that date. I
told him I did the business because you
were away hunting for work."
"So he's got vour watch ?"
"No he wouldn't take it. He said if
I would become responsible for the pay
ment he would let it rest."
"Then we have got a roof over us, and

Oh! what a curse these hard times

"Just what I saj When Mr. Snow

"And why not?''
"Whv not! Because because "

"Wdl, and so it will."
"Then it is mere honorable to lie ctill
and starve, too, than to earn l;oncst bread
by houcst work.
"I tell you, Peter, if you cannot work, I
must. Vre should li.tvc been without
bread to-night had I not found work to
day. You know that all kinds of light,
agreeable business are seized upon by those
who have particular friends or relatives
engaged in them. At such a time as tL;s
k is not iT r.3 to consider what kind cf
V(p;k v,.j v.'ili do, so long as it is honest.
Oh ! give the liberty of living en my own
desert, a::! the independence to be gov
erned by my own convictions of right."
"But, my wife, only think yoi carry
ing out butcher's stuff! Why, I would
sooner go and do it myself."
"If jO'-i would sooner gV' said the wife,
with a smile, "I will stay at home and
take care of the children."
It was hard fur Peter Stanwood j but
the rr.re he thought upon the matter, the
more he saw the justice and right, cf the
path into which his wife thus led him.
Before he went to bed he promised that
lje would go to the butcher's in the morn
ing. ""And Petnr Stanwood went on Lis new
business. Mr. Snow greeted h'm warmly,
praised his faithful wife, and then sent him
r 'Y two baskets one to go to Mr.
Smith';? a:;d the other to a Mr. Bixal's j
And tflic new carrier worked all day, and j
when i it came inicht lie had earned jusL
07 cents, it had been a day of trials to
him bat no one sneered at him, and all
his acquaintances had greeted him the
same as usual. lie was far happier than
when lie went liome tho night before ; lor
now he was independent.
On the next day he earned over a dollar,
and thus he continued to work a week,
and at the end of that time he had $3,73
in his pocket ; besides Laving paid for all
i-l.-o jfbod for his family save some few
pciccs of meat Mr. Snow had given him.
On Saturday evening he met Mark Leeds,
another who had been discharged from
work with himself. Leeds looked care
worn and rusty.

Mrlt-k mentioned the name' of an
vidual who is supposed to dwell
ni..
some-
where ia a region a little warmer than our
tropics.
"Well," said Peter, "if. I had been in
your place I should Lave taken up with
the ofler." .
Mark mentioned the name of that same
individual aain.
"Why," resumed Peter, "I have been
doing the work of a butcher's boy for a
whole week."
Mark was incredulous, but his compan

what one can see en the plains. .. Stealing
as near to them as possible, we fired, and
brought down eight on the fh-st lire.-
Away they went, the whole mas, bellow

tremble for a mom it. In a little whila;
we were after them .igain, and after an'
