" Come, then, we will go our way with
Ned, and , become before the world what
smare now in spirit, husband and wife ;
and then at once we will take the cars
for the home I have for you—a home
which, though lowly, will make you
happy."
" Whither you go I will go."
They were married in a quilt Wa y in
the - little - watering place cliap'el, with the
wiciced Ned conniving at the mischief,
The next train sped with them to the
city. -
" I will show you the shoji(, where. I
work," said Mr. Meinwell, when' the
carriage they took at the depot in the
city had drawn up before ono of a long
block of brown stone houses in a Splendid
part of the city.
"What do you mean?" she demanded,
as she accompanied her husband up the
broad steps to the door.
"I mean," be replied "that this is the
home, and this is the workshop."
And lie lcd her in. Among other
rooms to which be conducted his wife
was one fitted up es a workshop, where;
as ho said, he was accustomed to indulge
his love for Mechanical work, after hav

Mrs. Mainwell stood and looked at -him

"'Phis is your house?" she. asked.
" Yes, madam." & .
And'you are not poor, but rich?".
" You speak the truth, 31rs.?tininwell."

"But I do."
" Humph :"
• So there was a little family quarrel on
the apot.
" Now invite, your-father and mother
to come and see us," said Mr. Mainwell,
after the clouds luid cleared away, some
what.
"I will," she "replied, "I will. But
first yon must go with me to seti therm
and to pacify them in - view of what we
have done."
"Very well.",
-_lit_a_tow days they -started out in a
carriage. on their errand. Mrs. Mainwell,
gave the directions to the thiveri and
her husband could not help expressing
his wonder at the increasing squalor of
the neighborhood through which they
rode. The - carriage drew up at length
before a miserable looking tenement

" Where the deuce are yen taking me?"
asked Mainwell, looking sharply at his
wife.
" Come and see," was her reply as she
proceeded to step from the carriage.
"Here, Wait," he exclaimed after his
hesitancy, ; "let me got out firit and
help you out. What does this menu?"
"Follow mo," was her reply.
She led him up stairs—Zup, up, through
throngs, and dirt, and Smells, to the
fourth story. Hero she opened a door
without knocking, and the two entered.

A merry party waszathered thht• eve

" I say, GeOrge," said Ned, whisper

that game, can't they?"
Mainwell took Ned's
,jecrin; very so
berly:
" Yes," said he, after a few moments
of thoughtfulness, " and the experience
,has taught me a lesson. What fools the
pride of wealth make us all. I thought
she ought to haVe taken me regardless
of my circumstances, for myself alone,
and without hesitation even. And yet
when she tesced me, I myself was found
wanting. Shall we ever learn to disre
gard a Person's-occupation, and to look
only at the character and soul ?" -
Ned shrugged his shoulders dubiously.
" I think I have learned thik lesson,"
Milkmen added.

In old times, when children were strict

all these, and what he seeks is respose.

No wonder men looked on his poetry
as a new evangel, and. (looted it with
tears in their eyes, for there was in it the
very rest and repoge which the hot, weary

Wordsworth was and still is,the poet
of repose and peace, as needful now as
when he wrote. Ile is, to he. sure, es

spirit of Ms poetry applies equally well

Upon each pier are three solid oak tim

grain from ani one of the 144 bins, upon
endless hell grain carriers, to the bottom
of the elevators, which raise it to„the top

into one corner of each to enable a man
to examine the grain or sweep out the

When wi arp considering the health of
children, says a writer in The Methodist,
it is imperritive'not to forgot the impor
tance of keeping the bpin fallow, as it
were, for SCYCII of the firet years of
their existence. The mischief penetra
ted by a contrary course, is the shape of
bad health, peevish temper, and devel
oped vanity iS.hicuraye. Some infant
prodit,ry, whieh_iii-aanderd of mischief
-through- its neigborhood, misleads them.
But parents, may be' assured , that this
early Work ianot, by any means, all gain
even in the way of work. I suspect it is
n loss, and that children who begin their
education late,;as it would be called, will
rapidly overtake those who have been
in harness long before them. Ahd what
Advantage Can : it be that a child knovia
more at six years old than its compeers,
especialbrif thiairtto tre•gained at)ttaao
•riflce of health that may , never be re
gained'? Tlicro may be some excuse for'
thil, early book work-in the case of those
children who are to Wye by manual' RC
bor. , It is worth while, perhaps to run
the4isk of sonuaphysical injury to th9u,.
having only tboir early years in which
we can teach ihem.hook knolyrodgb. The,
chance of mischief, too, will be less, be
ng more likely_to G counteracted -by.'

has since removed to New York city,
