look while his wis sallen and downcast voting as they xcra they had seen better days been well educated up- lo three years previoas to that june morning and then been suddenly thrown npan their own re sources jack fought his way sullen and resentful makingfcw friends and seeking none he hod no woes because his pride hold him aboe them bat he wis hard and bitter ana added much to his tiaters troubles bv faultfinding aud discontent she wis the braver of the two meeting their reverses with quiet courage and bringing energy trust and cheerfulness to the mean cottage home just one week had passed since an aunt from whom they had never hoped for aid liad left them live hundred dollars each and jack had re solved to try his fortune in colorado while jfeg put hers by for a rainy day ill 6uy here until yoa are sure of suc cess jack she said when he urged her to join him and keep a home for yoa in case yoa need one- 10 yott call thitf hole a home he asked bitterly and ihe only smiled aud answered a shelter then but she was not smiling when she sat at the sunday breakfast eating little brood ing sadly until suddenly the cried jack we must do something think what we owe tom king owe him i i believe we have paid him even cent said jack sharply we paid him he money i know hat we can never pay him what we owe him still bah i dont be sentimentalileg it does not suit yoo- common gratitude is not sentiment alone jack jack she repeated are yoa made of stone can yoa forget that bat for tom king mother vroald have starved and been buried in a paupers grave can you forget who come o as in that sore need paid doctor anti batcher and then buried our mother beside oar father in the cemetery- i and do you forget her brothor an swered almost angrily how we worked and saved starved jand perished until every dollar was in tom kings pocket again i know i know but think how kind he was how he helped you and me to get the situations in the mills how tender ly he helped to nurse mother and how delicately he made the loans of money and now oh jack i must do some- i 1 what can you dof if tom kingchose to go california and lose his money in speculating if be was wrecked coming home and lost all he owned how are you responsible i am not but katesmoney every dollar you nave in the world ko she answered i have my wages a noble forfunn dont be a fool meg but meg was a jfobl in the sense he meant all through the morning while she put the house in order while she dress ed in her quiet mourning for church even during the service there she was thinking of what she owed tom king when her mother crashed by tho lot of her husband unable to meet the change from comfort to poverty sank down pros trated when jack tumble to get work in experienced and just- out of college was jack there is aunt 1 wr aw cursing fortune tom king came a their tuosebpagk manager under pretence of boarding with them paid in a weekly turn that kept them from starvation megs heart glowed asvio remembered how often he had an engagement nt dinner time an invitation to ten wlmi her mother required tho time tt would bjmrtakcu to prcparo the meal how often ktfhrought fruit aud deli cacies home how thoughtful lm was about sparing her troublein every way he waa more than double her ago and a grave tcscrved man whom she regarded with lie affectionate respect sho would bavo given her father but with that same reverence sho loved him deeply and when the whole own knew that tom king had been picked up in an open boat with four companions wrecked in midocean and lay in newtown hospital sick and penni less the whole noble grateful heart of afcg morgan went out to him many stories reached her he hod made a fortune by gambling and lost tt he hod invested in mines and made millions and the mines had failed and ruined him he had been engaged according to the kew- towu gosbip in a dozen different specula tions winning vast sums only to lose ihenii butbnebroad indisputable fact remained if all the rest was false he was lung in the hospital rick from the exposure and starvation following the wreck that had put the last stroke to hii ill luck dinner over meg put on her bounet again im goic g- over lolhq hospitiili jack she said only a grunt answered her but she would not be pat off by jacks sour looks and went on her errand it was not such a hospital os a great city affords that re- kivcdthc lickor injured inkewtown the latest inventions of science for the relief of lain were not found there tho best sur geons did not apply for a position there it was a cheerjess frame building divided iuto long wards male aud female whore the mill hands could iiave treatment free of expense in caa of illness or accident lvery oqu of them paid a small weekly sum into the lirapilal fund to secure its privi- leges one hard worked surgeon and a student did the professional duty required and three nurses in each ward dirided its attendance here upon a low iron cot bed pale and emaciated but evidently on the roaj to recovery tom king lay when meg morgan came up the ward with anurse her face so grave and tender that the strong will and patient endurance of its uscal expression were lost ia the pure womanly sympathv that rented there my friend the said taking the wasted handexlcndvd to her and tom king won dered if ever ttvo little words held so much as these two why megl he said presently looking into her etcs misty with tears do not feel so badly im gaining every da- the doctor says he will have me aroand in a week and im oj to california again 1 when yoa have been so unfor tunate there eh oh i see he said with an odd look in his eyes youve been reading the newtown afar uulucfcv wasnt i yes but tom i came to tell yoa thewords came slowly that i liavc same money that that is of no use to me bless me i t heard of sach a thing money of no cse aunt kate left me five hundred dohars it came last week but e never expected it aad im getting good wages if it wul start you again vou want me to take it yoa can borrow it anxioas not to hart his pride and some day when you arc rich yoa can return it yes i slc have you gut it with you i thought i would bring it she said her face flushed with pleasure and here it is he opened the white envelope and took took out one note just as the lawyer had tent it to scefj tom king laid it on the broad palm of his hand and stroked it tenderly all your worldly wealth meg he asked not while i have lhee and she held up her bauds i am so glad though that i have it fie lay very quiet looking steadily at the note for waic minutes then ho began to speak bis eyes still fixed upon the money ins voice steady but monotonous as if he was reading a story there when i weut to california nearly three years ago he said i went 0 see if i could shake myself awake from a dream i had i dreamed that i could win the love of a child amere slip of a girl who was forced into premature womanhood by trouble she was utterly unconscious of my love this gentle yet noble chfldwomou bat i knew i coald not hide it if i stayed beside her oat of her sight farrfrotn the sound of her voice the dream instead of fading became clearer more vivid i dreamed of a home where her step made music where her smile greeted me when i came to it i dreamed of a fireside wbert she sat facing me of a table over which she presided day and night i dreamed but i worked as well i put what money i had into investments that promised well but there i will not speak of that i started for home believing myself to be a rich man and still the dream followed me when i lay in an open boat death hovering near starvation and thirst tearing at my life the dream was most vivid for the face of the woman i loved seemed ever near me and the bitterness of death lay only in the fear of losjng her but providence was merciful i am alive at least he paused there but a low sweet voice took up the story and the dream will become reality this voice said the childwoman djd not read her own heart nor understand why nothing in her life met or filled the kmging there she knew well hat she had given gratitude and reverence where they were due bat love was a sealed book to her not until sharp sorrow came and she heard of him she loved lying ill in poverty and pain did she understand that he took all the love she can ever know away with him and now meg it shall be as you say- i love you i am young and strong and i think i can be a help and not a burden to you these last years have taaght me how to meet poverty and how to work and you think i could ask you to take poverty and work from my hands f lightening both by love 1 y6u will bo my wifo meg whenever you will meg did you think dear that i put my fortune in my vest pocket when i left call- fordia 1 lost by the wreck only such baggage as i needed for a few weeks and price tfibee ceaifr you see how i hoped myj dream was to coma true 1 am a rich man meg but i mean to keep this and bis hand closed over the note you shall never have it again meg i am content she answered and even jack was satisfied and willing to accompany them back to california and share in torai business something of his sullen temper being lost when once more lie found himself on tho road to prosperity the art of public speaking i besrd a public speaker a mm who for five andthirty years addressed large audiences frequently a man eloquent and powerfal of ppeeoli 1 recently heard him say that be never arose to address astrance audience without feeling a sense of dizziness and fear bis limbs would ihike and bis beart would for a little beat with a force that was painful theiiie marquis cf lausdowue who waj one of themost accomplished speakers in public on- the other side of the water once remarked to thomas moore that he never arose to apeak in the house of lords without feeling an approach of the loss of self possession and he only way in which he could ar- mount it was to talk at all hazard he added what appears highly probahlo that those commonplaces those little nothings which most men long accustomed to public speaking have ready cut and dried to bring in on all occasions were be thought in general ased by them as a mode of getting out of those blank intervals when they do not kuow what lo say next bat in the meanlimemaat pay something oca thing is sure says a celebrated english speaker scarcely any per sou has ever become a greatdebater without moch practice and many failures it was by slow degrees nfd barke that yot be came the most brilliant and powerful de bater that ever lived fox himself attri buted his own success to the resolution which heformed when very youngof speaking no mauer whether weu or ill at least once every nighu daring five whole sessions he used to say i spoke every night bat one and 1 regret only that i did not peak that niht too those who hive heard edward everett speak and have been charmed by his matchless eloquence have had little idea bf the patient study and practice be had given to the part before he ludveulared to appear in public and when he appeared upcu fbc platform with his manuscript roll in his hand and hii frock bat toned tecuhiiim urfc11 hii

loudon paper that recently came into my possesion iu may of 1s32 there waa an exciting and mtschievoa run upon the bauk of eng- iiuj which was brought to pass in the following manner there were fourjjeutle- meu in london wo ot whom had been recently elected members of the reformed parliament who were bitter enemies of the dpke of wellington and they desired to prevent him from forming a cabinet and assuming the office of premier to thia ead they determined that they would make it appear that aa attempt to place the duke at the head of the government would be ruinous to the best interest of the country so on saturday the vhh of may they dabbed together contributed twenty pounds each and caused to be printed a large namber of flamingplacards that is in flaming style bearing thia brief but terrible senleoce to atop the duke go for gold and daring saturday and sunday ihesa were stuck op in every conceivable place throughout the imetropojis in the thou sands ot driokiog places and public hoases in shops on dead walls oh the bridges everywhere these placards were posted during the sabbath there was great excite ment on monday the hth it was cur rently repotted the conspirators bad set the report afloat that wellington had formed a cabinet aad then the run oa the bank of england commenced in earnest before nooii upwards ot half a million tier- ling iu gold hid been told out over the r counter and carried away and so it con tinued throagh the day an eyewitness ays iu the article to which i hive referred the effect of those terrible placards is not to be described it was electric it was wonderful however the panic ceased after a lime and the duke did not form a cabinet nor is it probable that at that time he had any thoaght of inch a thing c the
