wITALF A loaf is better,than no bread,'
11 Charlie." -•
Little Mabel Castleon said this wist
fully. her' eyes, as she spoke, Waiidereirto
the cradle where two curly heads were
lyihg.
"But when one has had a whole loaf,
Afay oue does not exactly relish, the half
rations you mention," said Charlie,
moodily. But his' eyes followed those 'of
bis wife to the cosy nest:of the twiii ba
bies. • -
"It is' a bad time of the y ar to be out
of a situation, " said Mabel. after a long
silence. "And how many of whom we
know are idle! It would not be easy. to
- find employment now."
"You think I had better remain wjtti
Mr. Muffin ?" ,
"I do ! Tell meexactly what he said
to you." I •
•'The substance •of what he sailt, is
"Business is so very 'diull ,that he is
obliged to curtail his exPensts, and he
must discharge some Of his clerks. I
have been with him for ten years, and he
was pleased to say that I am very useful:
to him, and he is ,unwilling to part with
me. But he can give me but half my
present salary, though he promises to
raise it again as - soon as business pros
p cts brighten. I - don't know what to,
do. We are none too rich at my present
salary." L
"Yet : , we have saved to ething each
. month. Besides, dear, We have not tried
to he very economical.. There are many
ways in which 1 could save? .
"And make a perfect slave of your- ,
self ?"
"Not a bit of it ! . I have plenty of
leisure tune, now. that May and Belle
arous e themselves. Come, Charlie,' ac
e,..pt Mr. Muffin's offer. You may bear
of something better, even if, 'you,.remain
thPre, but don't throw tyourself out of a
‘ituption in the dead of winter, for my
sae, and the children's." .
The last argument conquore-d. Charlie:.
kuew only too well thit it - would be al
most hopeless to look for& new situation,
t , .r the whole town wits echoing Mr.
Muffin's complaint. The small nest egg :
in the bank would 4300 D melt awaywhen

But to do - all 'upon half the present
income would be'simply
House rent =din %let, . and the sum
remaining each l month would need to be
cuefully calculated to ',meet all the ex
penses;.leavingi but little margin for
pleasure or extravigance'of dress.
Then what would Will say ?
Will .Castleton was Charlie's cousin
..whu 'hid been his life-long companion.--
Tegether they`.had left the school-room
tor a business position. Will entering the.
grain , store of 'Harvey & Russel at the
saute time Charlie had taken the .place
in MiyM.uffin's goods Store. Shoul
der to shoulder the young men bad work-.
ed their way up, till this financial' crisis'
business' men into temporary
difficulties pf , gr eater or Jess
.magnitude.
Will had eipressed the . warmest indig
nation at the proposal made to his cous
in, strongly advising hint to' throw up
hissituation rand 'see how old Muffin
wont(' get ahing Without' him," and Char
lie, before seeing Mabel, was quite ready ,
6 folio*: hia t advice.
He kiiesv Will- would think him Mean
hpirited, to remain upon half salary, and ;
yet Mabel . was right, "halt a loaf was
better thatjno bread."
And While 'Charlie Castleton was thus
weighing the pros and cons of his dens,
ion, Mr. Muffin was listening , to the coun
sel\of iiis old friend and ebbum, the sen
iPrpartner, of , , the firm when it had been.
"Gardner. ez Muffin," and who, ; though
he - had retcred years before,'was - still the
, strong friend and frequent adviser of his
former partner.
"It is a rnistake.Muffin," he saidi. "You
bad better send young Castletoti about
his busineiwatni engage au entirely new
book-keeper. Init. will find half pay
means half service, mirk my words."
"But I might search C-- -from end
to end and; not find *a clerk competent to
take his place. ,
"Then pay him full salary."
"I cannot do it unless I reduce the
number of:salesmen, and I'm shorthand
ed now. There is but one way for rue, to
keep my head above water You -see
Clarke's failure itivolveii me very heivily,
and—" '
And . the; worried man of business en
tered into long explanations of hiadiffi
cnities not , necessaty to repeat here.
It touched Charlie deeply, when en
tering the ',counting house -to announce
his deterniinatiop to remain 'in his old
position - '
td see - how' the face, of his em
ployer brightened. He had bejn sitting
in a despondent attitude looking over
the mails, i thee x lines 'of care strongly
marked upon hie face. As Charlie spoke
the large ~ e yes grew brighter, and he
smiled pleasantly as he said :
"Thank you, astleton. It would have
tiii
caused me seriou - embarrassment to lose
you, and Lam heartily glad. you will stay.
I , trust you will riot , long be obliged, to
take a smaller salary, but circumstances
compel meto economise."
"You have ben an employer to , me for
ten years," answered Charlie, "and if I
am really of any v4lne, mere than anoth
er would be in my place; I will not desert
you.
And looking into the careworn
,face
that trmilile was marking more deeply
than age, Charlie resolved to serve Mr.
Muffin more faithfully in his perplexities
than in h 0 most prosperous days:
It was not.long before the old gentle
man felt !the gentle sympathy of his
young clerk, and looking to him as he
had never done before, tor advice as well
as service. ; He tic:mined him to confiden
tiid relatiOns, explaining the difficulties
caused by the failures of other firme,
some heavily indebted to the house of
John Mitffin, others upon whom he had
depended for, goods obtained upon cred
it. . ' •
Day by day, as the hard trying winter
wore away ; the two grew faster friends,
and so far from lessening his work,. Char
lie found himself" willingly lifting some
of his ernplyer's burdens upon his shoul
ders.
He gave more time to business, and
was gaining an insight -into it that op-
portunily , had never before given hith.
And Mabel, at home, was bravely tak
ing her diminished share of the loaf with
a smiling, face , and cheerful heart. As
far as-might be, She kept from Charlie
Abe knowledge other domeitic economies,
but some of them are ;apparent. 'The
woman-whose competent aid demanded
high wages was dismissed, and a half
giiiwn girl engaged to mind the . babies,
while Mabel cooked,, washed, ironed and
served, meeting difficulties with a coat ,
ag , ous heart. She had never been a
drone in the world's hive, having been a
busy little dress , maker before" .Charlie
wen her heart and took ler to preside
ever his pretty little house. But for three
years of her married life she had been
petted, and there were many pleasures to
be put aside, may dollars' well weighed
before they were spent. ,
. It was with a heart full of pardon , . e
triumph that the young couple, at the
end of the first year of reduced pay,
found they were still out of debt, and
'had not:touched the nest egg in the bank,
though there was a new wee baby boy to
share in the family income.
"You see, Oharlie, *e made 'the half
loaf !go round," said - llabel, 'as they went
carefully over the yor's expense bOok. , '
"There are no 'Crumbs " lie said With
. .
a w_ry face.
"liever mind, it 'was bettey than idlp!
te'
"ton 'are right,.and there inore"than
that, May. II have been ablelo help - Mr.
Muffin MOM' than I-ever could have done
in Our old rdationship to' each other.---
His; perplexities made him long for some
one; to -whom he could- spealc:votifiden
daily, ;and When the ice was broken he
took me fullY into all the business confi
dence. I cciuld often suggest a way ent
of difficulty that had not °corned to
hini, and even when I was of., no actual
uie[to him, it was a relief to_pour out
his troubles to some one'who was in full
sympathy with _ _

Charlie ! I never saw you as -tired, as
you! have often been this year, and your

leaOned,,many, valuable leirsOns in saving"
The second year was , certainly not an.
easy one to iblabel. _ A • wee., baby irrad

they mother's hands busy,, while there
was no deerease in household, work.-
Mapy
littleartmlea of clothing and, house
keeping. tots, that lasted well enough one
year, were past ser vice in the - second one,
and it was not always easy to "replace,
them.
Often Mabel feared the savings `for a
6 'ralny dayl must be broken in upon, but
stie s kept all such fears si* her
heart, and had always a 'bright'Vord . Of
cher for tired Charlie whoa' be,: caime
' . '
4he never told him of the late break
fast, that she planned, to let the' babies
sleep while! he ate his early one, corn
pried none of the little, tempting dishes
of his own ;meal, but was literally bread
and milk six mornings out of the seven.
Shi. never let him know the reason she
suggested 'his lunching down town to
save, the.long walk home,. was really to
swig the price of that meal towards the
dinner, the eainty parcel he carried nev
er posting the price of
. a regular meal for
all {of them'.
She did not tell she was cutting up
her own ; dresses to clothe the- twin
Kills, and .!sewing busily every leisure
minute to keepthe little ones tidy. '•
And yetthere came a day in June,
when six Months of the second year were
almost gone when she had , spent thelast
dollar of the- week's money yet the week
was only half gone. Charlie has given
het long before some signed checks to
m4et.euch an emergency, but it was her
pride to thilik - not one had yet been pre
sented at the bank.
t She took one from the desk where it
had been so long and spread it out before
her, calculating . with puckers on her
p4tty faceplow small . a sum could stretch
over the necessary expenses.
hate to begin," she said hair aloud.
"It once we break in upon that money. it
will melt away like snow before the noon
.daY sun."
But there Wag no alternative but debt,
and Mabel knew Charlie would never be
willing to owe any man a cent while he
had. the cent with which to pay him.—
So,' with a!great Sigh, she dipped the pen
in Ithe inkto fill out the check. Before
it touched; the paper, howeve, she paused,
listening. There was a step in the hall
that was not that of her littfe nurse nor
her charges, and a voice ringing out clear
and full, calling :
i'Mabel Where are you, May ?"
l'Here in my room. Oh, Charlie what
is it ?»

that all care seemed to have slipped from
it forever.

of cheese and saw the -1141oviing - lines

newspaper wrapper
"Every man who wishes to cherish the
loving hearts of his Sol:who'd' will lay off
the cares of b siness with his working

• "Now that's a right sensible piece, "
observe . William,•critically. ;I'm blamd
jf I don't try , that thing and see if it
Won't help the old woman's , jaw and 'the
young one's yowl."
As' e came near home , in the:evening
he put on a smile that , -ma'de his smutty
face look like a potato .the wheelbarrow
had run over, and going into the house
slapped* down his blickey, jerked off his
dickey, and danced a small hornpipe on
the kitchen floor, all the time gritining
like a mane having a tooth pulled
and ending by throwing his arms,around
his wife, as she prodded half a shad in
the frying pan, as he shouted , ::
"COMe give us 'a bass ole %Oman. •
For I'm just as happy as a stump-tailed dog,
That's found a bone in the garden. • ,
But he never got' any further. Mrs.
Crownsheet rose up and glared at him
like a lioness at bay. a
"William Crownsheet! and has it come
to this 1 Have I made. your fires, cooked
your meals and wash: your shirts 'for fif
teen years to have you come h)tne drunk
before supper." •
"Why, Mollie, heaven bless you, I'm
not drank • I'm only cheerful; '
•
"Cheerful, yes a cheerful looking ob
ject You are to come ;home to a houseful
of innocent children: Just look at that
poor little

sheet, sitting there Staring his eyes out
of his head at his idiotic old father. . Oh,
I'm ashamed of .you."
"You're all wrong, Mollie ; I'm only
_takin' off my cares along with my clothes
and bringing cheerfullness home to the
loving hearts of my household."
"Why, bless my heart if I don't believe
the man has gone clear crazy. Here,
Matilda, run over:and' ask one of the
neighbor men to come in here. Tell 'em
your father has got something horrid the
matter with him," and she shoVed the
girl out of the backdoor, and grabbing
the baby. by one arm she .led upstairs.
The neighbors came in and looked sus
picibusly at William, as he washed his
face in the back - yard ; then they went
into the house and he heard them corn
fortifig his wife, who. was crying by the
apronful—they guessed he would 'be all
right directly—be'had only, taken a lit
tle too much on an empty stomach.
William says, this morning; that he
never saw a newspaper receipt that w as
worth a cuss..
The influence of the good man.ceases
not at death; he, as 'the visible agent, is
removed, but the light and influence still
remain and,the moral elements of this
world will lone sho'w the , traces of his
vigor and purity ; just as the western
sky; after the sun has set, still betrays
the glowing traces of the departed orb.
It is very indiscreet and troublesome
ambition which cares so much about
fame; about what the world says of us ;
to be always looking in the faces of oth.
era for approval ; to be always anxious
about the effect of what we do or say ;
to be always shouting to hear our own
voices. .•

Having occasion to, go on the Aoki*.
waha boat, I noticed a pate; elderly wo;..
man, with very white hair, ,who kept
herself aloof from the excursionists ; and
by accident I learned that it was. the wife
of Henry Ward Beecher:: She was going
up the river twenty,six , miles to a settle
ment on the St. John's called Beecher,
in honor' of her 'omens husband. She
called to Palatka on Saturday—possibly
from the residence of , Mrs. Stowe4liandl
min ; though I wouldn't like to ,vonch
for this- 7 for . "the Beechen are peculiar!'
This member of the family, is said to
have her peculiarities. She is an old -wo'-
man,'now—probabls not' less 'than soli
enty—(for she is considerably older than
her husband)—and as 'her .aspeotis that
of a woman, who suffers from, an inwar4

sitting ciere alone on the steamer,- might
Say she was borne down by grief and
