,BY
Some years ago whets 1 was young,
And Mrs. Jones was Miss Delaney;
When Wedlook's canopy was young
With curtains hem the loom of biley ;
I used to paint bit'y future life
With most poetical precision.—
My special wonder of a wife ;
My happy days; my nights Elysian.
I SIM 111 lady rather small,
(A Jr so was my strict abhorrence.)
With fuzed hair contrived to fall
In cake's= ringlets, a-ia Lawrence;
A blonde complexion; eyes that drew
Prom Auntie clouds their azure brightneam
The footle Venus; arras whose htte
Was perfect in its milky whiteness !
I saw a party quite select—
There might have been a baker's dozen:
A parson of the ruling beet;
A bride's-amid, and • city cousin
A fun* speech to me and mine,
(Its meaning I could scarce discover I
A taste of cake, a sip of wine :
Some kissing—and the Beene was over !
I saw a baby—one--no more;
A cherub pictured, tether faintly,
Besides.. a pallid dame who wore
A countenance eatremily saintly.
I sow—but nothing could I hear,
Except the softest prattle, may be—
The merest breath upon the ear— •
So quiet was that blessed baby.
I see a woman, rather tall
And yet, I own, a comely lady ;
Complexion—such as I must call
(To be sleety:a little shady, ,
A band not handsome, yet confessed
A generous one for lore or pity;
A nimble foot, and, neatly dressed
In No. 6, extremely pretty!
I .ee a group of boys and girls
Asseufhled round the knee paternal;
With ruddy cheeks-sad tangled curls,
And toanners not at all supernal.
And onp has reached a manly size ;
And tine aspires to woman's stature;
And one is quite a recent prise,
And all abound in human nature
The boys are hard to keep in train ;
The girls are often very trying;
And baby—unlike the cherubim—
Seems very fond of steady crying!—
And yet the precious little one,
Ills mother's dear. despotic master,
la wOrth a thousand babies done
In Varian a. Alabaster!
- "
‘.l
Anti oft the stately dame and I,
When laughing o'er our early dreaming,
And marking as the years by,
llow idle was our youthful scheming—
CotAas the wiser Power that knew.
How care each earthly joy enhances,
And gives ns blessings rich and true,
And better far than all our fancies!

house of Ezekiel P. It was built of hewed
logs, two-stories, and while children played
on the white fish floor, martins wen- chat

one of humanity's best mould. The brown

Jost opposite F:zekiel's door was the
school-house, and one of the great high
ways to the west lay between. Many a
traveler stopped under the oak to drink of
his well, and the lip‘ of every school-child
had touched the gourd that hung on the
curb. Many a snow-ball had been flung
from his brawny arm as a challenge for the
schcxli-boys to bring out the halls Which
they had soaked in the brook the night

sent 'them on the little fellows as soft as
soda-biscuits, but toward the hale wood
choppers he made them whiz as if his grip
had put with them a few oondenaed flashes
of lightning. His theory was that there
should be a military department connect
ed with the school, and an abler Professor
never trained men for the Mexican cam

CAN'T AFFORD IT.
"Can't afford it, Maria."
"But you might if you would only think
so, Walter," pleaded the young, wife.
"I can't do it," the husband retorted,
very emphatically. "It would oast ten or
twelyarshillings at the very lowest, to put
up such a rite, and the old bars will an
swer every purpose."
"No, they wont, Walter. The neigh
bors' children very often leave the bars
down, and then stray cattle come into the
gar4en. We may lose more than the price
of agate in one hour, if a cow should hap
pen to get in when I am away."
"I should like to know who leaves the
bars dOwn," said Walter, very threatening
ly. '"The same children might leave a
gate open."
"But we can have a gate made to close
of its own accord, with a weight or a spring,"
suggested the wife. "John Niles has had
a gate put up in his yard."
But I ain't John Niles, my dear," Wal
ter wished his wife to remember.
"But his family is as large as yours, and
his wages are not so high."
. "Never. mind about that. I tell you I
can't afford it—at any rate, not. at. present.
And with this Walter started off for his
work.
Waiter Gray was a young man, about
thirty; an industrious mechanic; had been
married some eight years, and had an in
teresting family. He meant to provide
well for those who depended upon him,
and in a measure he did so. But there
were many little comforts which at times
they really needed, and which in the end
might have proved a source of saving.—
And more too ; it might have added to his
own happiness had he felt able to grant
these little requests. But he couldn't af t
ford it ; at least so he thought, and wheth
er he thought so with sound judgment the
sequel will prove.
The gate which his wife had been so
anxious to have put up, was needed at the
entrance of the garden back of the house,
where there were only a pair of short bars.
The children often came through there,
Wi l er at illin4ftiegewM rnWwayTisl
which those bars were apt to be left down,
and_it was only by extreme watchfulness
on her part that the garden was preserved.
She had spoke several times to her hus
band about it, but he felt that he couldn't
af f ord it. She must keep her eyes upon
the spot, and see that the bars were kept
shut.
Only a few dayi after this, Mrs. Gray
asked her husband if he was going to hire
a pew in the church for the followmg year,
and he told her that he did not think he
should.
"But you can hire half of one. We can
have half of Mr. Niles' pew for a guinea."
, ; ,"I can't afford it," was Walter's reply.
"I should get no great good from the ser
vices any way."
"Don't say so, husband. You certainly
Wouldn't wish to live, and bringitp your
children, where there was no religious in- .
tluence. If you reap the benefits of good
Christian institutions, you ought certainly
to reel willing to help support them."
"So I would be willing if I could afford
it : but 1 can't."
Mrs. Gray looked very serious, and seem
ed to hesitate, as though there were a sub
ject upon her mind which she felt delicate
about broaching.
"Walter," she said at last, tremulously,
hut still resolutely, "you have two pounds
a week ?"
-Yes"
"And bow much does it take of that to
feed us!"
"I don't kOw. I'm sure. I only know
that it take' all to feed and clothe us, and
pay up the interest on the house."
"I haven't had a new dress since last
autumn ; and I was reckoning up yester
day bow much we had spent ibr the child
ren, and found it to be only three pounds
for the last tea months, I have worked
over some of cousin John's clothes for
Charles, and Lucinda jumps into Mary's
dreolea as the latter outgrows them."
"That's all very well," replied Walter,
a little te.tily. "I understand my own
business, and know just what I can afford,
and what I cee't. While I have the pay
ments to make on my house I must econ
omize—l must enerosomize," he repeated,
very decidedly. d o,
"And I would have you economize," re
turned the wife ; "but do not forget that
all is not economy which many call so. I
think it might be a source of great -saving
to put a gate up at the baclre
"Stop I" interrupted Waltee, with it ner
vous motion. "You've said titough &bogie
this. I know my means."
"Let me say one word," urged Maria.—
There was an earnestness in her tonewhich
caused her husband to stopand listen. "If
you will
.give me a guinea a week, I will
agree to furnish all the provisions for the
household, and clothe myself and chil
dren. I will do this for one year. That
will leave you seventy pounds with which
to clothe youpelf and make rim payment
on the house. On the house you have only
to pay '-twenty pounds, !int interest for
two years, which will leave you twenty

Walter was upon the point of denying
this result of the 6180, but he seer, upon a
moment's reflection that from his wife's
statement the deduction was correct, so he
denied the statement.
"You cannot furnish the food and clothe

"The words smote me to the heart. I

for the useless entertainment of others.—
The crown which ray needy wife could not
get when she asked for it, I paid away, al
most twice-told, for nothing. But it taught
me a lesson. I opened my eyes, and I have
kept them open. On the very next morn

They had reached the prden fence,. and
by the dim starlight, Walter could see a
horned beast trampling among his sweet
corn. The bars had been either left down.
or hooked down, and a stray cow had got
in. They drove her out. and then Niles
went home. Walter saw that the beast
had done considerable damage. but he was
not angry, for he had something of more
importance to think of. He went and
sat down beneath an apple-tree and pon
dered.
"Bless me. if hehasn't put the ease down

end of some minutes of meditation. "Let
