Kdrd and Mary Clark were llie ha-

keeper in a large establishment, with a,
salary of fifteen hundred dollara. His fair
youtig wife made a little earthly paradise of
his cottage home in the suburb of tha city,
for within its walls dwelt two lives that were
set like music to poetry, kuepitig tiiao to

our sorrows to a friend, and I need not as

but he bad seriously injured himrclf in the

and at last a dangerous fever set in, which
had finally left him in to exhausted a state
that the Doctor despaired of hi recovery.
" And to think I shall never see him

a fresh burst of tear. " To think he mutt
