THE MECHANICS HOME. !
Om evening, in the early part of tlio 1
winter, the dooi-bell rang with energy. I
and the sen-ant announced a man who y

* The case which he described as we a cm c
alonp, was a pretty clear one, and 1 j
hunted my walk still more, and in a few
moments wc were at the door. We went
up, up, up, to the fourth story. The last i
fight of stairs was carpeted, and a small a
lamp at the top lighted us up. An excel- ?
lsnt and very durable kind of mat lay t a
the door. You will see, in time, why I
Ijtfre these little particulars. i
I entered the open door, and was wel- \
comed by a rather |>retty and remarkably 1

I looked around the room. It was the

neat and orderly, the tied like tin; crib,
was excellent but not coatly. The white
counterpaine did not cost more than ten
shillings?yet how beautiful it looked 1?.

if they were damH.sk?and how very appropriate
they seemed ! The bath, with
its snug folding doors, I knew had not

doubt, was f pine, and cost half a dollar.

Leaving his little l*oy to his untroubled
