ght loung ' Luck and Labor, Luck doth wait, standing idly at the gate— Wishing, wishing all the day; And at night, without a fire, without a light, And before an empty tray, : Doth sadly say; "To-morrow something may turn up ; T o night on wishes I mtist sup." Labor goes, plowing deep the fertile rows-- Singing, singing all the day ; And at night, before the fire, beside the light, Doth gladly say : "To-morrow ni turn something up ; • To -night on wages earned I sup." Caroline A. Soule, St. Nicholas for .March. - The Cares of Wealth. Once upon a ~.time there wet g two 'brothers that lived in the same - town. The o n e, named Assad, was very rich, for. God bad prospered him, and he had houses, ,and lands, and much money besides. But the mold had. not been so propitious to his brother Selirn, for he had to earn his bread by hard daily labor. Bat for all that Selim was the happier of the two. When his day's labor was done, he would come home and, after a frugal meal, take down his tamborine, and sit under,the shade of the vine in front of his little cottage, and sing and play to himself, or amuse his family and friends; without sorrow or fear. Whereas his rich brother would have people . coming to him at all hours, talking of business and bargains, and would spend long evenings poring over his accounts, and counting up Ins gains. • IL Now both the brothers were married, and, as you will readily 'believe, the wife of each used,to point her husband to the more favored condition of the other. brOther. And so it happened that one evening Selim's wife spoke to him as fol: lows: "Look, my husband, how well-off your rich brother Assad is, he dresses well, has a good table, and keeps his wife like a la dy ; aid well he may with all his riches,.; while you toil all day for wliat, barely keeps our bodies and souls together." "Well, my cousin," said Seim ' so God has ordered it, 'the fingers of the hand are not all of one length,' as people say ; neither is. the condition of all men equal." "That, is very true," she said : "God is above all ;, but there - is also . a saying, that 'the work" rests upon agencies,' and have been thinking that your brother might, out of his abundance, help you a little in the worldi and I hive no doubt he would if. you spoke to him." "Perhaps," said Selim, and struck up another song. The very same evening. as it happened, Asaad's wife said to him.--'--"Ms lord, What is the:good of all this 'care and trouble about wealth a See how happy your brother Selim is, notwithstanding his poverty, while yon have not an hour you can call your own to enjoy the pleas ures of your home." • "Would you likeo see us both equally happy?" asked her )iushand. To which she replied, "Yes, indeed I would." So he merely said "Good i " and turneJ again to his accounts. . The'next.day Assad sent tot: his poor brother, and, after the usual salutations, said 4 o him :,-- s.. • . ¶My brother Selim, I have a tninll .to , do a lavor to you." ,- "May God increase your goods," said Selim ; "I shall always be grateful." , "Well, now," said Assad, "I would like to see you as well-off, in the world as my self; and as :sou know things start with small beginnings, .I propose to give you a small capital to .commence with in some lucrative business: and I have no doubt that, with God's blessings and your own industry, you will soon prosper." "I am at your command, '.said Selim, and shall be ever grateful." . "Nav," said his brother, "there should be no obligations between such as we are ; this is incumbent on . me. Well, tben, let us snppose that I give you (excuse my mentioning it) fifty or sixty piasters to start with. • Let us • see how you may turn over your capital. Yes to be sure"— a new thought struck him—"look at eggs just now. They are selling for six for a piaster in the town. No doubt you could, in the villages, tiny eight, nine, or ten for a piaster, and. sell them in the market at a good profit. How does that appear to you ?" "My brother," said Selim, "as I have already submitted, I am at your service to do as you command." So Assad handed_ him a sum of money, without counting , it, saying. "May it be blessed." To which Selila replied, "The blessing is from you, and may your own goods be blessed. Next morning Selim, having provded himself with a basket and turned his money into,smill change, set out for the villages. Wherever h.e saviehiekens run niag about, he wo.nld call out :-- ` 4 110.! you that have eggs to sell. 1101 such an one, have you eggi to .sell ?" And those Who had eggs to sell, would answer ' "Oorne this way:'' '• If the eggs,offered for sale were strall. he would say:-- • ' "Oh mt., how small they are; these are surely pigeon's eggs; and what, may you be asking for, these ?" "We are selling them ,at seven for a pi aster," they would say., "What do ypn mean, toy seven for a pi aster ? Don't' you kilo* that eggs like fliede are sellin at eight for a piaster in town, and we liave all the trouble of car rying them ?" And so he would conclude a bargain at nine fora piaster. -Or if the eggs were larger he would shake them, hold them up to his eye be fore-the sun and- declare them to be bad, and so forth, till the bargain 'wOuld be concluded at eight for a piaster. But when the price came 'to b l e paid, there wotild sometimes- be an egg wanted to complete the even tale, or hemould not have Et mall change to make the ac count; and as Seiim could not write, he would leave the balance to be settled to riaorrow.or the - next day when he Should again come round. • By ,mid-afternoon lie had pearly' filled his basket and emptied his bag of money, and found It time to retrace his' steps that he might reach home by sunset. And so, as he went along the road, he began to go over the items or outstanding accounts, muttering to himself as follows , "The woman at the well has to giye me one egg; the black woman behind the mill has to receive five paras; thi keep er on the khan owes m`r two eggs ,3 lladji Mustapha received two piasters in ad vance,"-and so on, \going over the, whole day's transactions. At the: door of his house his wife met him with the salutation : ..'Welcome, welcome; please God you have prospered. To which he replied, "God isltind," and depositing his basket he prepared for supper. , During slipper he recounted to her all his proceedings; and when the table was removed, instead of ' taking down his tambourine as usual, he proceeded to lay out his eggs and arrange them for the market and take stock of his money. "There are so many eggs," he s'id, "let us see what they cost me. At the first village I paid three piasters less a quarter —say three—then two-and-a-half;! three and two and-a-half make five-and-i-half; five-and-a-half and one-and-a-quitrter— say one, for there was a quarter before— how much is that ? Six-and-a-half; and and then two-and-a-half:----say two, be cause half a piaster remains due—eight and-a-half." And so on he went for a long hour, counting up the sums spent in the differ ent villages, checking himself and revis ing his calculations, till his head became quite confused, and he said, "Uph! what an account is this !" \TI. The neighors wandered that night whether there was sickness in Selim's house, because - there was no soinid of music aa usual, and the light was seen burning till far into the night.. Slim sat king at his account; and the last thing his wife heard as she dropped off to sleep was : "Seventeen eggs at nine for a piaster, how much is - that? two piasters and an egg short ; twenty-five eggs at eight a piaster, how much is that ? three piasters and an egg over." • Even after !be did get to sleep, his dreams were of his clay's busineSs ; for his wife was wakened by hearing him mutter . . • `'Seven-arid-three-quarters • and. thre;e lessfifteen paras; how much, is that?" So,. when .he got 'hp - in the morning, yawning and ',rubbing his forehead,"he said to her—'. • "My cousin, if this is the way to. be rich, it is geralnly not the way tube hap . - ,py. I think, we 'wele :better-before." "It. may be," :said his wife, who had had a poor night's, rest herself. So he determined, With her hill con sen t: p to wind up this . egg • business, and suck to his old habit of earning his dai• ly bread.—Lekure Hours .E Child's Faith. ..- "God's been here to:day,mam.ma?
