that liae been inti'iitluced intu the Smith,

myself, tn try to arrive at anme thing tike a

The importance of thi matter, I contend,

In proof of thi. we have only to look at the
vast atii'Hinta drawn yearly from the proceeds
of our cotton, anil laid nut fur work mules,

year, kept up lor want of gra pastures to
rear them ourm-lve. and which, at the '"e
time, would not intetfi-re in the lrat with
our cultivated crops. I contend, however,
we have been crownr-d with Compli'te am-.'-eRa
in finding out one kind at leit adapted t

AFFECTATION.
T CHaaLKS UAClaT.
Of old, a pad waa calt'd a " spaJe,"
By tmple and by sage;
A workman" did hi honest werk,'
Arid Kervnta" earn'd their " wage."
A " man" wa title of reapeel,
Whenever virtue named it;
There wa one thing of higher worth,
And d.vely " woman" claim'd it.
Out now we masquerade with word
The truth a grand on" nee ia
And deocrate our Englih tong'to
By pride and false pretence.
We hame Ihe languige nf our aire,
We talk ao mild ami meekly ;
We've " operative" for working men,
And draw our " a!arie" weekly.
Our " lady" take the name of" wife,"
That word so 'true and hearty J
And every man ' a " gentleman,"
Unless wo call him " psrty"
Th ahnpman" hales the nam of "ahop,"
And by perversion later
The man who dig railway trench
la ca'd'd navigator."
O, give ma bark our honest speech !
It ha a soul nf beauty ;
And let us do our daily " work,"
' And think it pleasant duty ;
Let 'a ea rn our " wagea" as of yore
The w r.l can never harm u ;
Lei love our" wetbeari" and our " wivea,"
And own that women" charm oa.
So shall nur ni.int, like our w.-rtla.
Be void ot aftttlalion,
And pde be apade" and man be " man,"
Throughout th Briliah nation.

daughter, in her tiiteenth year, came and j h.ch he wa. Mflering become ton clearly ( riltJ,m ir1..in--

P.i'l..ei" ho nnened hi tei "herc'taw quickly below the surface. When thou reccivest a kindness, remem-
my quarter'
tiuarler't bill. Can't I Itaie the money
to take to school with me in the morning f"
I am afraid not," answered Mr. Walcott,
half in despair.
"Nearly all the girls will bring in their
money to-morrow, and it mortifies nie to be
behind the others.
The daughter spoke fretfully. Mr. Wal
cott waved her aside with his hand, and she
went off muttering and pouting.
" It i mortifying," said Mrs. Walcott, a
little sharply; "and 1 don't wonder that
Helen leela annoyed about it. The bill has
to be paid, and f don't see why it may not be
done as well first as last."
To this Mr. Walcott made no answer. The
words but added anollier pressure to the
heavy burden under which he was already
staggering. After silence of some mo
ments, Mrs. Walcott said :
The coals are all enne."
" Imnossible!" Mr. Walcott raised his-
head and looked incredulous. " I laid in
sixteen ton."
I can't help it, if there were sixty tons
instead of sixteen, they are all gone. The
girls had hard work to-day to scrape up
enough to keep the fire in."
" There's been a shameful waste some
where," said Mr. Walcott, with strong em
phasis, starting up and moving about the
room with a very disturbed manner.
" So you always say, when anything runs
out," answered Mrs. Walcott, rather tartly.
" The barrel of flour is gone also 5 but I sup
pose you have done your part with the rest
in using it up."
Mr. Walcott returned to his chair, and
azain seatinz himself, leaned back his head
and closed his eyes as at first. Ifow sad, and
wear, and hooeless he lelt! Ihe burdens
of the day had seemed almost too heavy for
him: but he had borne up bravely, lo
cather strength for a renewed struggle with
adverse circumstances, he had come home.
Alas! that the process nf exhaustion should
still go on that where only strength couiu
be looked for on earth, no strength was given.
When the tea bell was rung, Mr. ulcutt
made no movement to obey the summons.
" Come to upper," said his wife, coldly.
Rut he did not stir.
" Are you not coming to supper?" she call
ed to him, as she was leaving the room.
" I don't wish for anything this evening.
My head ache very much," he answered.
"In the dump again," muttered Mrs.
Walcott to herself. " It's as much as one's

ed tenflerly, as she drew his large arm chair
toward the centre of the room.
" A little headache," he answered, with a
slight evasion.
Scarcely was Mr. Freeman seated are a
pair of hands was busy with each font, remov
ing gaiter and shoes anil supply ingtheir place
with a soft slipper. There was not one in tho
household who did not leel happier for his
return, nor one who did not seek to render
him some kind office.
It was impossible, under such a burst of
heart -sunshine, fur the spirit of Mr. Freeman
long to remain shrouded. Almost impercep
tibly to himself gloomy thoughts gave place
to more cheerful ones,' nnd by the time tea
was reatly, he had half forgotten the fears
which had so haunted him tnroiigh the day.
Hut they could nut be held back altogether,
and their existence was marked during the
evening by an unusual silence and abstraction
of mind. This was observed by Mrs. Freeman,
who, more than half suspecting the cause,
kept back from her husband the knowledge
of certain matters about which she had ' in
tended to speak to him, for she feared they
would add to his mental disquietude. During
the evening she gleaned from something he
said the real cause of his changed aspect.
At once her thoughts commenced running
in a new channel. By a few leading remarks
she drew her husband into conversation on
the subject of home expense and the pro
priety of restriction in various points. Many
thing were mutually pronounced superflu
ous antl easily to be dispensed with, and be
fore sleep fell soothingly on the heavy eye
lids of Mr. Freeman that night, an 'entire
change in their style of living had been de
termined upon a change that would reduce
their expenses at least one half.
"I see light ahead," were the hopeful
words of Mr. Freeman, as he resigned him-
atctf to slumber.
With renewed strength of mind and body
'and a conhdeut spirit he went lorth the next
day a day that he had looked for with fear
anil trembling. And it was only through thi
renewed strength and confident spirit that
he was able to overcome the difficulties that
loomed up, mountain high, before , him.
Weak despondency would have ruined all.
Home hail proved his tower nf strength hi
walled city, strengthened for the conflict,
he had gone forth again into the world and
conquered in the struggle.
" 1 see light ahead," gave place to "The
morning breaketh !" Orange Blouomt.
NEVER TELL A LIE.
Children, and old person a well, ought
always to speak the truth, from a love of do
ing right, and a loathing of wrong. But it
iimclime strengthen upright aim lo know
that honesty is also the best policy, and
that line who uniformly adheres to Ihe truth
is certain in the end to prosper. The follow
