When E married Mary, I didn't know B' from of bull's foot, as the saying is; and on tak' ing her the first week's wages, she said, holding up a shilling, '" 1 am going to put by a shilling every week to buy and books for you when you can read." *' That won't be for a long time to come," said I. "" How long did it take you to learn 1" : "Not a great while; about twelve months, I think." *"It seems to me, Mary, that's a long time. But why should I learn to read I" I asked, for 1 did not like even Mary to know I wanted to learn, and was too proud to commence. ; "Never mind," she said, playfully; "' you shall have a spelling-book to-night, and I will teach you myself." " Nonsense, Mary, you've quite enough to do to atterid to the house, to say no- thing of your dress-making trade." **1 can find plenty of time to teach you, Tom," and she came up to me and laid y shoulder and fell to coaximgeme in sucha pleasant ma- wishes no longer, and went straight to the book sel- ler's shop for the spellmg-book, and that verpsame night Mary gave me my first { FEYHIS INVA LUABLE MEDICINE IS that I know a great deal, but I can and | tution is s | moves all ol Angeroun .

"Well, come, and let us have a glass | over it." I didn't make any objection, although I would rather have gone home to Mary. | I didn't like to refuse, or he would have | said that I was under pettigoat govern- ment. That's what they always say when they see a newly sarried man. wants to get home to his wife, and they want him to go drinking. We went into the "Slow and Easy," and called for a pot of beer, | and then several of our chums dropped in, | and I am sorry to say that I drank more than was good for me, © I gdt drunk-- don't look so grave--"'twas for the last time." I thought of Mary at home, ex- pecting me, wondering what ever had hap- Joned, What would she say ? Could she ancy I was getting drunk at the 'Slow and, Easy!". No--never. Instead of giving me the courage I was lacking, this thought made me drink the harder to drown it. In the days when I was courting Mary, I never drank any- thing intoxicating until after I left her § so she did not know--for I never drank at | home--that I was not a total abstainer.-- She told me afterwards she always thought I was one, or she would never have mar- ried me. We stopped at the 'Slow and Easy" drinking, ive hours--in fact, until half- past eleven, and then were turned out by the landlord--prabably because we were too drunk to drink any more. Just as we were pushed like di into the street, against whom should I stumble but Mary and my old master, both hurrying ta the police station to inquire if anybody look- ing like me had been seen during the last few hotirs. They were afraid 1 had met with a most serious accident. If I should live a thousand years, I should never forget the amazement and look of scorn oh cast upon 'me. It made me mad--mad ! I swore at Mary, and called her' such bitter names as I would give the world to revoke ; and with my fist knocked. my employer into the gutter, and! as he was very muddy, he wasn't in a good temper when he found out whose fault it was. "Tom," said he, after a time, during which he had been scraping the dirt from his clothes, " go home, now, with your wife. I shall have a few words to say to you on Monday morning." Drunk as I was, I was too ashamed to say a word to Mary until we got home, and then only to wish her good night. The next morning I awoke in a fright- | ful state of nervousness--to o nervous to leave the bed. Mary, after getting me a cup of gnod tea to settle my nerves--it is | wonderful how drink unmans one snd | muddles the brain--told' me all that had occurred the previous night. Strange to say I hadn't the slightest remembrance of knocking the governor imto the gutter most likely because 1 had been thinking so much about what Mary's feeling must have been to find me intoxicated so soon after'myy wedding day. But 1 found the governor:had not forgotten it, when I went to work en Monday morning. \ #Torhi," said he, "I always thought you a steady, sober, upright workman." He laid particular stress -""sober." "I'thought nd hoped that all my men knew how to conduct themselves with pro- priety and sobriety." And then he gave me a downright good lecture, ii oy saying he would never have a dun) in his eng and gave me a week's notice to quit.

I was out of work six months. Mary's | dress-making supported us the. first three | | of them. Of course I was ashamed of the | { fact, but what could I do? Ieonld not starve, and no one would employ me. If anybody wanted a hand, they referred to { my late employer for a character, -and ask- | ed the reason of me leaving. And he like | the christian man he is, told the truth. | But he also added that I was a very good workman, : It was no use: we were starving. © Mary had overworked herself, and was now very il. We got into debt, gradually but deep- | ly, and there wasn't a single Shor Koop or | who would trust us further. One by one | every article of furniture except the bed | on which Mary was lying, even the bed- | stead, was either seized by creditors or | sold by me to obtain drink--for I would | have drink, taking care however, never to | get intoxicated--while Mary was dying | for the want of the common necessaries. -- I became thoroughly reckless, and cared | for neither man nor God. | Mary's friends at last heard of her mis- erable condition, and wanted to take her | away from me, Bat, like the brave, true | wife she is, she refused to go until every { means she could think of to make me bet- ter had failed. - They then brought her | money and provisions, which she insisted | upon sharing with me, in spite of their re- | | monstrances, | Still, after all her kindness and self- | { denial, I would not listen to her advice | and entreaties to become a teetotaler, | | When sho became better she said to | me: { "If I were you, Tom, I would go to | your old master, and tell him honestly | | how welare situated; ask his forgiveness for your misfloings, and I'll be bound he'll take you on; again." "" No, Mary, I'd sooner starve," | "Don't talk like that, Tom, or I shan't | | love ycu half as inuch as Ido. "You know | we are deeply in debt and penniless, and the landlord threatens to-turn us into the { street. Do, please Tom, go to your old | | master. I'm sure he'll give you work." '" No, I won't," I answered sharply. | Mary seemed greatly hurt, but said no- | thing.

Do go to the old mastes to-day, and ask him to give you somethifig to do." '* No, I won't," Ijreplied as sharply as I could ;*for 1 was determined 1 wouldn't humble to him. "Then I will gofor you," said she, very quietly. J "" Nonsense, Mary, you go ona fool's errand." "1 can but try," and before I could say - anything further, she was ready to start. Then she came towards me, and putting both hands on my shoulders, in that con- fiding, loving manner which cannot' be re- sisted, and raising her clear, heavenly | eyes, beaming with hope, to mine, she | sweetly said: "Tom, we have be¢n mar- ried only a short time, and I ani quite disappointed in you. = I don't know why, but Ialways thought you a teetotaler ; and as I know you always keep your. word, please promise me that you will be one | now and forever," "It's precious queer," said I, 'if I'm not a teetotaler now, for there's no money to buy drink or anything else with what- ever." - "I know that," she said, but I want, you to promise to be a teetotaler always, or, if you think that too hard, until we live in a house of our own ;" and she fin- ished by giving me one of thuse bewitch- ing smiles all women know 'so well how to bestow when occasion requires. il I'll promise that with the greatest plea-' sure," I answered ; " for when you were so very ill, Mary, I had time to think over matters, and I came to the conclu- sion that, if I hadn't got drunk on that unlucky evening, I should have been at work now, and able not only to} support you, put to purchase those nourishing things the doctor ordered." "Never mind, Tom, all will be right in the end, you may depend upon it, now that you have promised to abstain. The dream I had in the night, though, still haunts me. I wish you would go up to] | the shop." > "No, I won't," like." '" All right," she nodded, with another | smile, and after giving me a kiss, she | | went out. I did not think for a moment | | that she wadin earnest, or I wouldn't "but you may if you | | { have let her go. In about an hour she returned, with the pleasant news that she had been ta the shop, and seen the master, and I was go- ing to work again on the following Mon- day forning, provided I meant to keep | my promise of being a teetotaler. { "Mary, my dear, if I saya thing, I | mean it, and by God's help, I'll keep fast to my word." I believe you, with all my heart Tom, or I wouldif't have gone to the shop so willingly. I'm sure you'll keep your pro- mi And I did. I went to the old shop the next Monday morning a little before six | o'clock, and the governor at once asked mie if it was true I was a teetotaler, and | whether I meant to keep the pledge. | I asked him if he ever knew me to break my word. He said no, and I told him I wasn't going to begin then. And I set to work singing as merrily as a lark, and quite | tried coaxing. How Jones Popped the Question. Too bashful to "' pop the question" in the usual way, Major Jones persuaded his sweet-heart to put up a stocking which will hold a couple of bushels, pov 1 night that Santa Claus pays his visit, receiving her promise to keep forever what he gave her. Into this, the gallant and love-lorn Major contrives to introduce himself at the *' witching hour of night." Be we will let the Major speak for himself. "I remained up till midnight, and when they were all gone to bed, I softly went in at the back gate and went up to the porch, and thar, shure enuff, was a great big meal bag hanging to the jist. It was monstrous unhandy to get to it, but I was determined not to give up. So I sot some chairs on top ov the bench, and got hold ov the rope and let myself down in the bag; but just as I was getting in, the bag swung against the chairs, i down they went with a terrible racket. But nobody didn't wake up, but Miss Stalliness' grate big dog, and here he cum, rippin and tarin through the yard like rath, and round and round he went, trying to find out what was the matter. I sot down in the bag, and|didn't breathe louder than a kitten, for fear he'd find me out. The wind be- gan to blow 'bominably cold, and the old bag went swingin' round, so as to: make me sick as the mischief. I was afeared to move for fear the rope would break and let me fall, and thar I sot with my teeth clattering like I had the ager. It seemed as if it would never come day- light, and I do believe if I hadn't loved Miss Susie so powerful I would have froze to death, for my heart was the only spot that felt warm, and it did not beat more than twolicks a migit, only when 1thought how she would be rised in the morn in', and then it went on a canter. Bimeby that 'bominable dog came on the porch, began to'smell about the bag, aud then he barked like he thought he traced somethin'. " Bow, wow, wow!" sez he. ' Begone, you abominable fool, sez I, and I felt all over in. one spot, for 1 'spected Lie'd nip me ; and what made it worse, I didn't know where he'd take hold® of me. * Bow, wow, wow!" Then Come here, good fellow, sez I, and I whistled a little to him, but it was no use. There he stood, and kept up his eternal whinin' and barkin' all the night. I couldn't tell when dalite was breaking, only by the chickens crowin', and I was monstrous glad to hear "em, for if I'd had to stay one hour more, I don't believe I'd ever got out of that bag alive." They got him out in the morning all | covered with meal, and almost frozen)-- But Miss Mary did not refuse his present, 'And he says, "I tell you what, it is worth hangingiin a bag from one Christmas to another; to feel as happy as I Jhev ever since. # Frav~oe will prohably never cease to as- tonish the rest of the world in a thousand ways, but there is nothing in all Gallic history so entirely marvelous asthe rapid financial recuperation which has marked the few months of peage since the close of the war. During the struggle with Ger- many fabulous sums were expended by the extravagant incompetents who had possession of the national purse-strings, a whole year's industry was lost, and the | financial future of 'the country seemed even more hopeless than its prospects for military rank among the great powers. -- Added to this was the Communist insur- rection, enough in itself to bankrupt any ordinary national borrower. Yet the mountain of debt to Germany diminishes more sapidly even than the exacting cred- itor demands. French loans are eagerly taken in Berlin, and now the French peo- ble answer the request of Paris for money with a subscription of thirteen times the amount asked. In view of these facts the redictions so freely made that the future as no promise of greatness for France, seem a little hazardous, to say the least. | Mz. Mecuz of Tiptree Hall, now as well known for his farming enterprise, as form- erly for his Magic Strop, complains that out of 45,000,000 acres of farming land in | the United Kingdom only 5,000,000 acres should be used in raising grain for daily bread, the average under wheat being about nine per cent: On his own farm his average is 38 per cent., with an'annu-_ al average yield of ten to twelve bushels in excess of the general average of the kingdom. Mr. Prout has the same pro- Joction with equally results, and Mr. Villiam Smith of Woolston has 49 cent., the yield being equally large. Mr. Mechi's farm was orginally a sand and has been brought to its present fertil- ity by good farming. = Tue Wigan mine, in England, contin- ues the source of grand display and de- struction.

The villagers are in a panic of excitement, and all the fire companies of the Kingdom would seem impotent to stay the march of - the furious flames. Alike catastrophe occurred some years back, in Penunsylyan- ia, and the burning mine was only ex- tinguished by turning the course of a large river and pouring its volume of water into the shaft.
