From Potter's Spirit.
The First Few Years.
"IULL."
The young heart stnrtoth fresh tiud free, 1
All ignoraut of sorrow,
.And cureless what may losd tlie wings
Of yet unseen to-morrow.
JSun after sun his days arise?
The young soul o'er forgetting,
Ju gnr.ing on their morning suiile,
i ho lesson of their setting.
I The fountains flash along the way,
And many a gulden river
Winds in and out among the shrines
That rise around hiiu ever.
>
O youth ! so full of hope and youth ! |
O gifts so freely given !
() bowers, whose graceful lines nbovo j
{Shut out the light of Heaven!
Hut youth must fadeand now while on
With tireless feet he rang**,
I 1'jxm the soul some dark days c.omo,
\N hile fast the scenery changes.
, Life after life around his path
Whither the hearts that love hill),
And light by light the stars go uu t
I Along the heaven above him.
Hut who shall further fol'ow him,
When life is rill before him,
Tlie quiokwind world beneaih lii? feet,
Hit latr'n durk cloudland o'er tiiiu. i

The applicant for 'anything over,' gave
a jiecuhar whittle, to define (ho lengli ,

Tin* conversation occurred in the store
of r>enj ?iuiu Weston, a young and enter ,
' prising merchant, who had just commenced
business on his own account, lie ;
other peiso'n, who, to use his own clav?i
oil expression, whs 'bang up,' and wanted
to borrow fifty dollaralo make up the amount
of a note one that day, wa? lo*.
Wealou a cousin of the other. They had
been playmate* in youth, and staunch
fi'lends in inaluiilv. Though there was a
_ / * *

a strong sympathy existed betwei*

T'?cv had commenced business about the '
saWelinie, nntl under the same ci renin- ;
itsnct*, bollt being obliged, tor the wnnt
of tutHcienl capital, to mortgage ihe stock
iu their r*-?pec?ivo stores.
1 Itut far they had done well, and the
prospect whs thai both would become dis (
ungui?hed men-bants.
They bad married sinters, and occupied
tenements in lite mhikj block. Their bouses |
were hirmalted substantially tliu same
style nnd wills no material difference of j
expenditure. Moth bad been brought up
to bffsii.eaa h-bits, and educated in the
principles of rigid economy
'And if I had money to spare, I would
spend double thai sum,' replied lienj*,

You don't know your onn interests,

'Don't I. Some kind of business might
tbrivo on advertising ; ours, never. Do'
you believe the women look in the news i

Well, there was a lady in hero just

Joseph \\ Mtion turned uptn ii.s heel and
left llm sluro, assured in his own mind
that his friend w as going to ruin.
In his estimation, such loo*o principles
would eventually bring h:m to hank
ruptcy. 13lit Hen was his friend, and he
deeply ConimisKcrated him because he
clung to such weak and pernicious doc !
t lines.

Ilusinesa prospeied with the young .

but had been able to pay a small portion
of the mortgage on the s.ock, at the end

It was so verv nice that lb? young
wife could not bear the idea of having
the parlor shut up so no one could see it
liii the fiirnitute had grown rusty ; eon
equenlly she inadoup her mind timl they
mlit.t have a parte.
Their fiiends hud pail'es : w liy should

ba'.er, an I she gained the day'in t!ie in it

extravagant atV?ir, but it cost Joe f onto
fifty dollars. In the meantime, lten had
paid quite as much tor udvei lising as his

coma to he'i-vo that ho wna insane, ami
would certainty come to ruin in another

'No 1 can't.'
'You tan aiford it as well as Joe.'
'Perhaps 1 can.'
'Do buy sotue.'
'I should be very gh?d to gratify you,

'A year helice,' pouted the Wife.

'How loolish !'

'Irue, but though he has tho ndvnn

'Then you surely can afford tho tublu ,

'Nay, my dear, I will not spend a dolInr
for superfluities while 1 am in debt,'
Mrs. lien Weston fell very badly about
ii, bui her li us blind was Arm. and she
was forced to coulelil herself with the
plain furniture.
Mrs. Joe Weston enjoyed her nice par

she discovered that then was a great

who had once exceeded the limits of Ins
means, found no great difficulty in doing
so again, and the things weie bought.
U.it Joe had some scruples about it.?
Hi* notes began ?lo be troublesome, and
every day bu ?ti in thu street boirowing
money. Ilia business, too, had not met
Ins expectations. Instead of increasing
in the ratio of la?t year's experience, it
hardly held it* own, and the poor fellow
began to have some serious uiisgiv nigs
about the future.
llefore the year had half expired, he
was uhhged to introduce a rigid syau m
of retrenchment It.to his fssmily and bust
nesa efl'airs, in order to keep his expenses
within his income.
