If he can t afford it, he shouldn't drink.' The subject was dismissed, and Jer ry forgotten in the noise and bustle of the usual evening business. . About nine o'clock Jerry's wife, to the as tonishment of both Mr. Iiewitt and his wife, appeared in the bar; but not, as they supposed, for drink. My husband tells me, she said, 'that, he has a heavy score here.

He was a very good shoemaker, but he stood no chance with George Stev ens, a sober man, and so driited into becoming a cobbler. Jerry's one idea was to get a job and having done it, to invest the pro ceeds in drink at his favorite beer shop. 'The Oram Arms The con sequence was, that Jerry was seldom sober, and had he not possessed an iron constitution, two years of such a life must have killed him; but he dragged on, working to-day and idling to-morrow, and drinking whenever drink could be got, and finally he drifted into debt. His score at 'The Oram Arms was a large one, and the chalks stood up Hgaiust him like files of soldiers, but Tssth extracted without pain by the the use oi Jtrry ignored their existence paying on a little now and then, and drinking mure, each time increasing the army of debt Hgaiust him, until one. evening Mr. Richard Rewitt, the landlord ot the aforesaid 'Oram Arms cried 'halt.' 1 can't go on any longer, Jerry he said. 'The last sum I had of you was three shillings, and you have paid nothing lor a fortnight. 'Work is slack murmured Jerry, 'but the harvest is coming on, and then everybody will have their soling and heeling doue, and I shall be able to pay you off.' ' 'Ferhaps so returned Mr. Rewitt, 'but you7 will have as much as you can do to square off what is up there. Look at them. Those chalks are a standing disgrace to any man. You ought to be ashamed of yourself Jerry looked at the accusing marks, and really felt aghast at the long list agaiust him.' No spider courteously eutreating a fly to euter into his parlor could have been more oily-tongued or smiled a more persuasive smile that t ! 1 ! is presuming mat spiaers ao smile, which is just possible, but when Jerry got into the toils, and had been well confined in the web, mine host, put on another face and tone. it you drink, he said, 'you must expect to pay for it.

Almost every peuny I'te earned has come into your till. I've nigh lived on beer, if living it can be called, and my wife aud chil dren have had to shift how they could for bread 'That's nothing to me saidthe landlord. , 'Let me have one piut Have you the impudence to! ask for it with that shameful lot of chalks starjng you in the face?' Jerry did not reply, but he took a long and earnest look at the recording files, and drawing his hand across his dry mouth, hurried out of "The Oram Arras. 'Who is that you've been talking to, Richard?' inquired Mrs. Rewitt, entering the bar (from a room behind. 'Jerry Muddler was the reply. Tvo stopped his drink uutil he pays Up. ,.. i v-i; - ! i 'Then he will go to i 'The Green Goose and get his driuk there said Mrs. Rewitt, ; " 'They won't trust him a penny re turned her husband with a grin 'he's tried it on and failed, and so I've got him i 'There nothing to be got out of that house said Mrs. Rewitt, shaking eton which Mrs. Rewitt had given her. The landlord went -through the chalks twice, and finally announced that Jerry was indebted to him to the amount of two pounds, seventeen shil lings and four-pence, halfpenny. Jer ry's wife received the announcement with a look of quiet dismay, thanked the landlord and left the house. - 'I suppose she is thinking of mak ing an effort to pay it off said Mr. Rewitt, addressing ' his better half, 'and I hope she will; but I fancy it will be a little too much for her.' . For a whole week nothing was seen or heard of Jerry; but at the end of that time his wife appeared and put down five shillings on the counter. 'Will you please take that off the amount, sir,' said she, 'and give me a receipt? This wa3 done with a gracious smile, and Jerry's wife departed. Mr. Re witt announced his having hit the right nail on the head. The wife of the cobler was making an effort to clear off her husband's debt. At the end of another week a sec ond five shilling was paid, and then harvest came on truly a harvest to the agricultural laborer, as at that time he gathers in clothes, and what ever his harvest money will enable him to procure. All the little trades men in the village were busy, and even Jerry was reported to be full handed. But he did uot come near 'The Oram Arms' for a drink. On third week Jerry's wife brought ten shillings, and on the fourth, fifteen, to the great joy and satisfaction of Mr. Rewitt, whose joy, however, was alloyed by the fear that be had lost a gcod customer. He resolved to look up Jerry as soon as another install ment of this account was paid. Nothing was brought for a fort night, aud the lanlcrd congratulated himself upon not having hastily sought his absent customer, who still owed him over a pound, but the ap pearance of Jerry's wife with the bal ance had the enect of making him think otherwise. There was no dis play m putting down the money it was quietly done but the happy light in the woman's eyes when she took the receipt, spoke more thau mere words or actious. 'I have been hasty with Jerry said Mr. Rewitt, when another whole month had elapsed without Jerry ap pearing; 'he promised to pay at har vest time, and he did it; but I have offended him, and 'The Green Goose has caught his custom- 'Go aud see him suggested his wife. 'I intend to do so. Here, give me our Tom's boots;. they want a patch ou the side, and it will be an excuse for my dropping in upon him 'That isu't much of a job for him, seeing that you give George Stevens the best of the work' said Mrs. Rew itt. 'Stevens works better than Jerry replied the husband; 'you can always trust him to do his work wheu it is promised, but Jerry keeps the things for weeks together 'That's true; but I've got a pair of boots that I want new fronts, and I can waitia week or two. Take them 'I'll take both said Richard Rew itt. 'nothing like baiting your hook while you are about it Armed for the reconquest of Jerry the landlord set forth in the morning that being the slack time when he could be easily spared from home. Outside were a couple of loafers, with no njHaaey and no credit, who touched their hats to him: Mr. Rewitt favor ed them with a nod of lofty mdifer- ence. Jerry's cottage wwin the middle of the little vilage, standing Dace aooui fifty feet from the road; and although iu inside covertv had been well known, the outside, thanks to his wife, looked ouite as well aa its neighbors. Thprp fore Mr. Rewitt was not in the least surDrised to see that it looked hripht and rav oa that beautiful au- o o , tumn morning. As he approached the door, he heard the sound of Jerry s hammer ufon the la ns tone. and. to his utter amazement, the voice of Jerry caroll clean, as far as you are concerned 1 am glad of that. 'Others have got their share said the laudlord, facetiously; 'but I think we could make room for you, if you look us up 'No, thanky, sir returned Jerry. I've had enough of chalking on other, people's doors, and now I chalk on my door. Mr. Rewit had nothing to say; he could not deny and would not admit it, but took reiuge like other beaten men in flight. With the boot under his arm he hastened home, and pre sented himself before his wife in a rather excited condition. What is the matter, Richard?' the asked. 1 Nothing particular be replied, 'ex cept that Jerry Mnddler has joined the temperance lot and he seems to firm in it that I don't believe he will ever touch a drop again Mr. Richard Rewitt, of 'The Oram Arms, was right. And Jerry, who bears the name of Muddler no longer, bat is Called by that to which he is entitled by right of birth, viz., that of Marden, has not touched a drop of strong drink from the day of his reformation to this. His door has been filled again aud again with the score which he records in his own favor; aud the beer he has not drunk is everywhere around him in the form of a comfortable home, a respectable amount in the savings banks, aud goodly investment in a building soci ety.

'But who trusts you to do that?' ! ; 'Nobody I trusts niysolf replied Jerry. 'The marks that were on your door showed what I did drink, and them .marks on mine show what I don't drink , A little light had got into the land lord's brain, and he had apreity good idea of what was coming, but he said nothing. 'lhat.night when you spoke to me about tlie chalks on the door being a standing disgrace to me. was the night of mywaking continued Jerry. ' 'No mautould have lectured me better than yon did, and I thank you for it rom the bottom of my heart. As I eft your house I vowed to touch or iriuk no more, and I came home and told my wife so, and we both joined in earnest prayer that I might have strength to keep my vow. The next morning I went over to George Stev ens aud asked him how I could go about signing the pledge. He helped me like a mau and it was done. With his eves wandering to and fro between Jerry and the chalks up on the door, the amazed landlord still remained silent. Jerry went on: 'My wife wauted to work herselt to death to keep me," he said; 'but I said 'No. ou do what you can . to keep the children until my debts are paid, and then I'll keep you and the children, too. So I went to work, payiug right and left; and when' all was paid off, I began to do what I ought to have doue years ago; feed my wife and children I had enough aud to spare, and I would have spent some with you.

There's not much standing dis grace about that lot; credit it any thing , 'Oh yes yes, returned the land lord, 'but dear me this cold in my head is quite distressing. You must have a Urge box for all your two pences ' 'Wheu I gets together I takes them to the post office replied Jerry; 'There's a bank there belter than any till. They give nothing out, but banks like that returns you more than, you put in. Until I began to keep my own chalks I had no idea how much your till swallowed up. xon would , not trust me for a pint; but I can have my " . a a a monev out of the bank whenever 1 want it.
