I could a't stomach that. I novsr after ward owed tbat woman a eent 5 I always managed to pay ber ; and tbis first ex perimeut gave me a wholesome horror of even the smallest debt, whether of money or assistance. I bad not clnaen my friends for qualities which auiht be val uable to me in adversity, and 1 preferred not putting any of tbem ta the proof iu auy way, to having my eyes opened paiu fully. 1 looked about eagerly now for some thing to do. I had always said tbat a mau must be a fool not to find work; but when tbe lime cama to look for it, I fouad the searob a difficult one. So maay diverse things must oeour. Soma ona in basiuesa 1 liked must be in want of me. He must ha ready ta jive roe a ssffisieul (alary, aad IVctiof a coiuaremiae. My eppeocuts held eat, and continue to do so to this dayi to the torineut of real eaUlea ageuls wbo new have them ou hand. One glorioaa day I effeetsd an exehang of two properties. My palm itched for nay eommissioa, which old Mr. Q was, by agreemcut, to pay. It was mil iuMgtnioaiit oue ta be sure, hut it was enough to resale ma oa bssksteaks for a moata to come, ever my asaal expeaaea. Sa it was a weighty matter to me. I planned out a whole day's meal yes, a whale week's, aa aa ta eaipley my leisure hours agreeably ia a way which my preapucts now rendered justifiable. Before this, it bad heea break mi tbe teath eowmandmeat even ta think of beefsteaks. 1 also dreamed of a new eoat. ibe one I wore-my last waa a with teal, and answered all their pretty question with delight. I was so happy tbat tne fates teek effeusc st it. In puliief ap a stiff, rusty belt, wbioh held aae of tba lenj window shutters, I was obliged ta ute some muscular atreagtb, aad my treacherous coat, buttoned to hide lay seedy vest, burst down one ef the ihr.ulder hlades, where it was anaetnmonly thin. I was desperate. I feit niy checks set bard, aud I stalked abeut wita a buueh of shirt sticking out al oae shoulder ; tke mir rors, too, showing me the figure I cut at ev ery turn. Wei! what adds was it ? They liksd th place too well te be very nine ;u the bar gain for it.
