A dirge that keeps murmuring low,,

No longer their tones can I. save ;
They are damp'd by the spray from the dismal

A Life Lesson.
BY SYL - VANTIS COBB, JR
,"I.Aftelare,!' said Abner Leeds, speaking to
his wife, as they were walking home one even
ing, "Philip Twonibly's house has a comforta
ble, cosy: : appearance." •
"So it has," was the reply of the wife.
"How neat and well arranged Nary Twonably
keeps everything," pursued Abner. "She is
an excellent woman/'' - -
The wife was thoughtful; and made no 're
ply to this.
"I did not mean, Julia, that she was better
than my own wife. Of course you didn't so
understand me."
"No, Abner; I do not think you would find
fault with tue. • 'At all events, I try not to give
you occasion." Julia' Leeds looked •iip with a
smile, and prescutly...she added : "Mary Twom
bly is a good housekeeper, and a warm, devot
ed friend. Still, I think her house is no neat
er than
"Of course it is not," said Abner.
"Only," continued. Julia, "she has more to
do . with. Our house is exactly like theirs' in
its construction ; it is finished in the same
manner, and even the wall-papers are the
same."
"Yes," replied -Abner. - "Our houses were
built by the same man, and from the same
pleb." • •
"It is the addition of those pictures, and
pretty ornaments which make Twatab Vs rooms
look so cheerful," remarked Julia. "0, how
much pictures do add to the•attractiveness of a
home. 'Don't you think go, Abner ?"
"Why—yea, Julia—l think they do."
"And," pursued the wife, "what fine pic
tures they have. How neat and pretty the
frames are, and how tastefully they are •arrang
_
ed. I think I could - arrange some very taste
fully, toe, if I had them."
Abner Leeds did not reply at once to this
but finally he.said, a little dubiously
"I don t know, after all, Julia, as such things
are of any real benefit."
"0, yes, they are,,A.lmer, Everything is a
benefit which helps to make home cheerful ;
and what is there, in the way of ornament,
more cheerful than good pictures 7 'They are
companions. I should not be lonesome where
there were pretty pictures. Think, when you
are tired and weary, or when you are.weak and
sick, how much comfort , you•can take in rest

..
the eye upon a cheerful picture. Pictures
make a room attractive; and surely we cannot
have too many attractions at home."
Abner Leeds liked pictures; and,; he knew
that his wife was aware, of that idet.l so he
could not dispute her phitition. He could only

At this juncture they arrived ak•t4eir,ownt

bright-haired and bright-eyed children. The
apartment was, as neat. and tidy as any in the
town; but the walls were bare; and as Julia
cast her eyes over the vacant spaces, her
thoughts might be easily read. How pleasant
some pretty pictures would look' there ; and
how much more cheerful the rootn would be.
Perhaps, as Abner and his wife sat there,
after the children had gone to bed, 'their
thoughts took the same channel. Julia knew
that Philip Twombly did not receive any more
wage& than her husband did. She :knew that
they both owned their houses, and that they
both had about the same expenses to meet in
She support of their families. Julia thought
of this-; but she would not speak of it ; for
she knew that her husband was not a •spend-
thrift ; and if he had any little habits which
he wished to indulge, she would not find fault.
fie was kind and generous, and true and faith
ful, and she-•prized him as a precious com•
panion. . • ;
"You are thinking of pictures," Abner
said, as he saw his wife's eyes-wandering over
che bare walls.
Julia started, but quickly replied, with a
smile
"Not selfishly, my good husband!" She
kissed him. and then added—"some time when
you can afford it, you will buy me one, I know,
and until, then I shall be content."
Abner kissed his wife in return, and said
that he would certainly buy a picture'when he
had the money to spare.
Only a few days after , this Abner met Philip
Twombly, and the latter had a fine oil paint
ing under, his arm.
"Come home with me and see it," said
Philip.
It was only a few steps to Twombly's house,
and Abner went with him. The picture was
taken from its wrapper, and proved to be a
landscape, from some of the lake, scenery. of
New York ; and when it was hung in its place
upon the wall,,it seemed really to shed new
radiance over the apartment. It was attractive
and refreshing.
"I declare," said Abner, as he cast his eyes
about over the pictures, "I should like -some
such as these, but I don't have the money to
spare. Wbat did this landscape .costl"
"The picture and frame together, cost four
teen dollars.."
"Upon my soul, Philip, I don't see how you
afford. it."
"All," replied Philip Twombly, with a
smile, "there's a secret is that." -
"A. secret ?"
"Yes."
"What is it ?"
"I'll tell you, Abner. Just sit down, and
you shall know how I afford these little attrac
tions to my home."
Abner Leeds sat down, and Philip , spoke as
follows :
"After we bad been married a year, or a
little more, we went to visit my wife's uncle.
lie had a great many very valuable pictures in
his house, and both Mary and I took much
pleasure in looking at them. When we came
home Mary often expressed the wish that we
could have some pictures I wished as much
as she did; but. Ewes not so free in the ex
press;on of my wish, because h felt that I cloud
not afford isuch luxuries. One day while we
were in the ;book store, we saw a picture which
we both fancied. It was an engraving—a scene
from Shakspeare—there it hangs, in that gilt
frame.- The price was ten dollars, for the pic
ture and frame. Mary was very eager, but I
had to, put her off. I had no• ten dollars to
spare. That evening, as I sat alone in. this
very room, looking up at the very place where
that picture now hangs, I: thought how pleas--
ant it would be to have the ornament there;
and I also thought how much it would please
my wife. I -think this last consideration had
the most weight with me then; for Mary was
a precious wife, and did so much for my com
fort. As I sat, thus pondering, I took out a
cigar, and was en the pcknt of lighting it, when
I. remembered that -Mary bad asked me not
to smoke in.the parlor, because the odor of the.
tobacco clung so :long- to the curtains.. I was
in a thoughtful mood, and my thoughts took a
curious .turn—a new turn for me. They ran
in this,way :
"I could not possibly afford to buy the pic
ture which my wife so much wanted, and which
would add so mach to the cheerful aspect of
our parlor. Ten dollars was more than I - had
to spare for any such purpose.. I looked at the
,cigar which I held iu my fingers, and thought
:what that cost. I remembered that I had paid
ifife cents for it, and tfiat•l - wasin the halve
smoking four or five of them a day, and some-
times more. My cigars did not always cost so
much as that, but I did not hesitate to set down
that item of expense at fifteen cents a day.
This led me to another thing: I drank from
three to four glasses of ale a day, making
another item of `at least fifteen cents. So here
was an expense of thirty cents a day for ale and
cigars. I reckoned it up, and found that it
amounted to over two dollars a week, and about
qiie hundred and nine dollars a year'!'So in
a little'Over four weeks, I smoked and drank a
ten dollar pictUre I
"This led me to another thoug,ht : what good
did the' eiirars do me, and what good did the
ale ? I rather fancied that I should be better of
without them - . Not only were they making a
bondman out of me, but I had good reason to
believe that they Were graduplly undermining
my health. I set an hour in this mood, and
when arose, ray resolution for the feature was
taken. I threw my cigar away, and on the
evening of the next day I put thirty cents into
a box, having left my ale and cigars untouched.
On the same day following I di& the same, and
so' I kept on doing. For a few weeks I mis
sed my old masters, and there were some sea
sons of struggle; but.l had an object in view.
and I was firm. At the end of a month I found
ten dollars in my Vox, and I went and brought
the picture . . When I saw my wife's sparkling
eye, and received her warm kiwi of thanks.
I bad reward enough for all the effort I had
Made. But this reward was not all. I not only
had conquered an evil habit, and "gained there
by the'means of adding new attractions to our
home, but I also improved in mental and physi
cal health. That was something over three
years ago. The old box is still in use, and
into it I drop my daily tribute. Thus you see.
the pictures which adorn our walls, the orna
ments upon our mantles, and the little statues
in our garden, are the things which I have
chosen in lieu of gale and cigars. In short,
Abner, in the expenditure of money for the
purchase of What we may term luxuries, I }lave
learned to strive after THAT WHICH BATIS•
FIETH."
When Abnewent to his home that evening,
he had , a new thought in his mind. -He made
a daily use of ale and cigar's. He had never
thought it any harm, and even now he did not
regard' it in that light. But he was le& to ask
himself if - from his limited means, his spare
money might not be spent for something which
would be of more benefit to himself and family.
He had strength of mind enough to keep a
resolution when it was once formed, and, be
' fore he.' pressed his pillow on that night, his
resolution had been taken: . On the following
morning , he prepared' him -a box, with a hole in
the top, and when evening came, he dropped
into it‘three dimes. It was the money saved
from the old chaithel. He had smoked no
cigars and he had drank no ale through the
day. Another day passed with the Same result.
It came hard; theie was a conflict, and a-strug
gle. Such tyrants were not to be conquered
without effort. But Abner Leeds was firm.
His foot- had been set in the new course, and,
he would not yield his manhood to the old ap
petite.. And he triumphed. When the temp
ter was - put away—when the desire for the old
narcotic and stimulant had been wholly over
come. he went to his box, and-he found fifteen .
dollars there. Away tie went to the store where
pictures were sold, and purchased a pair of
handsomely framed . engravings: He carried
them hotne, and hung then' up, and then cal
led to 'seemthern.
Where-did' they come from ? 0, how pret
ty I She hoped he had not inconvenienced him
self in purChaShig-them.'
And then Abner 'told his wife - the whole
story—told her what he had done, and what be
meant to do -
Ah, when the arms of his fond wife were
about' his riecii=irh en she kissed him, and hies
sed him, and told him ho`tv happy and gratifie'd
she was—then he began to realize in a new arid
brighter light the rewaid of his self sacrifice.
Add Abner Leeds was true, to his promise
