They were neighbors and frieuds. 1 " This has been a very hard day," said Mr. Freeman, in a gloomy voice. And as they walked hoiiioward they di-couraged each other, and made darker the clouds that ob.-curcd their whole horizon. ' (j jod evening," was at last sai l hur riedly; and the two men passed into their homes. Mr. Walcolt entered the room where his wife and children were gathered, and with out speaking lo any one, seated himself in a chair, and leaniug hid head back closed j his eyes. His countenance wore asad,wca-l ry, exhaustjd look. Ho had been seated' thus for only a few minutes, wheu bis wife said in a tearful voioc : " More troublo again." " What is tho matter now V asked Mr. Walcott, almost startiug. " John has been ft nt home from school." ! "What!" Mr. Walcott partly rose from his c'uair. "He has been suspended forbad con duct." 'Oh, dear!" groaned Walcott, "where is he ';" l'p iu his room ; I sent him there aj , soon as be camo home. You'll have to do something with him. Ho'll be laiucd if ho Ij oc9 ou 'u ''''s w:'- Fiu. out of ail heart with him. Mr. Walcott, excited a3 much by the mm nor ia which his wife conveyed unpleasant information as by tho information itself, started up, under the blind impulse of tho niomctit, and going to the room where John baJ Lcen scut on coming home from school, punished the boy severely, aud this without ; listening to the explanations which the poor ! child tried to make him hear. " Father," said the boy, with forced calm ness, after tha cruel stripes had ceased; " I wasn't to blamo and if you will go with me to tho teacher, I cau prove myself in nocent." I Mr. Walcott had never known his son to tell an untruth, and the words fell with a rebuke upou bis heart. i "Very well, we will see about that," he answered, with forced sternnuss ; and lea ving the room he went down stairs, feeling 'much more uncomfortable than wh.'n be ,-went up. Again he sealed himself in bis argo chair, and again leaned back bid wea ry head and closed his heavy eyelils. Sad der was his face than before. As bo sat thus his eldest daughter, in her sixteenth vcar, came and stood by him. She held a paper in her hand. " Father;" he opened his eyes ; " hero's my .purler's bill. Can't I have the mon ey ts 's.ki' tv rcbs-M with me in the nicrn- " I am afraid not," answered Mr. Wal cott, half in despair. " Nearly all the girls will bring in their money to morrow, aud it mortifies me to be behind the others. j The daughter spoke fretfully. Mr. Wal cott waved her aside with his hand, aud she wont off muttering aud pouting. " It is mortifying," said Mrs. Walcott, a ttle sharply ; " anil I ilon t won tier tuat Helen feels annoyed about it. The bill has to bo paid, aud I don't sec why it may not bo dene as well first as last." To this Mr. Walcott made no answer. The words but added auotber pressure to tho bt.vy burden uuder which ha was al- rcadj rtiiragrrin-. After a silence of aome luomciit'MM. Walcott Bai : "The coal urc all gone." " linpofc-ible l" Mr. Walcott raised liU Lea.l and looked incrcdulcus. I laid in tiite-en totis" 'help ll, if there tre sixly tons aJl.cen. they are all Kouo. The! ' I eaut he instead of nxteen, tuey are all gouo. girl, had hard work to day to scrape up enough to keep the fire in." " 'J'here's been a shameful waste some where," said Mr. Walcott, with strong cm phasi,, starting up and noting about tbc'pce -ith a .oft slipper. There wu not room with a-rt-ry diH-rbed manner. I in " '"1 nt f"t! '? So you always say, when anything runs' t," answered Mrs. Walcott, rather tart-j out Jr. '' The barrel of flour is gone also ; but I suppose you hare done your part with the re,-t in using it up." Mr. Wu.'cott returned to hi-i chair, find again seating himself, leatrd back bi:i bead and closed his cyc as at first. How sad and weary, and hopeless be fell : The bur dens of the day bad seemed almo-t too hen. vy for him ; but he hud borne up brave ly. To gather strength for a rene wed strug gle with adverse circumstances, he bad come home. Alas! that the process of ex h&uctiou should sliil go on that where on ly strength could be looked for on earth, no strength was given. When the tea bell vrii rung, Mr. Wal cott made no uiovcmcut to obey tho sum mons. ' Come to supper," said his wife, coldly Diit he did not stir. " Are you not coming to supper," she ealled to him, as sho was leaving the room. .. r 1 '. C- ihl. arm im. Mv head 'aches very much." he an.
