BV ELLEN" ASH TON.
' Why so sad, Ernest V said ihe young wife
io her husband, affectionately twining her arms
around his neck and kissing him.
He looked up wiih a sad smile and replied :
' I am almost out of heart, Mary. 1 think of
all pursuit?, a profession is the worst. Here
have 1 been week afier week and month after
month and I may soon say year after year:
waiting for practice, yet without success. A
lawyer may volunteer in a celebrated case, and
so make himself, but a physician must set pa
tiently in his office, and if unknown, see men
without half his acquirements rolling in wealth
while he perhaps is starving. And it will come
to thai,' he added bitterly, if 1 do not gel em
ployment.' An unbidden tear started into the wife's eye,
but she strove to smile, and said : ' Do not de
spond, 1 know you have been unfortunate, so
but you have talents and knowledge to make
vour vi'flV. h3 soon as yon gel a start
And de-
pend upr.rt she' added with a cheerful look,
' that will cozue when you least expect it.'
' So you havti lold -me often, but tho lucky
hour has never come,' said her husband de
spondingly. And now every cent of my little
fortune is expended and our credit will soon be
gone when it is found we do hot pay. Whaf
ihen is to become of us ?'
Ernest was in a mood which the most san- i
guine sometimes experience when - disappoint-
'riieni after' disappointment has crushed the spir-
it, and the voice of hope is no-longer heard
within. His wife would have given way to j
tearsi if she had been alone, but" she felt the j
necessity of sustaining htm and ans ered !
cheerfully
And what if everv cent is gone 1 Flae ho j
fear that we shall starve. God sent ravens to j
feed Eliiah.aud he will vet iniemosb' for our!
aid: Trust in him, d?ar Ernest.'
The husband felt rebuked, as she thus spoke,
and answered less dcsnondinglv.
'But really, Marv, this want of success I
would try the stoutest heart. The mechanic,
the farmer, the humblest day laborer Is sure of
his food and raiment, but 1, afier having tspent
years in study, have wasted years bendes wailing-for
practice; and now, when all fortune is
gone, if I resort to other means of livelihood, I '
lm.se' all I have spent both of lime and money, - .
SnHlT ms; .forev'er abandon the idea of narsu - l
ftid my profession, ills too hard!- And he !
arose and 'walked the room with rapid strides.
'"His wife sighed, and remained .ileni. JJut
after a moment or two she arose, and went up
tVhtm.ahd fondly encircling him wiih her arm,
Vaid, '
