Of any beauty of the morning star. ? : Whea day is ou my heart bo enters iu Anl crowns it with the brightness ?i hii grace; But more I Joy whcu night envelope?? lue, Tojeel nts presence though I miss- his face. lixxbtiBK**-*** tim?vt when foolish love- of self So girdles me as with a wall of flame, Tatet should he seek me he would find me Nor ijiswer get if he bhonld call my name. .ind other times when ojwu t? his fee? The doors of my pow hon qc tv? quickly swing, Aa if>I were a peasant, and tho friend For whom 1 waited bad beru boru a king. Thus coming once when 1 was at my bent. He said? "My friend, I would not ba ve thee roam Dost long to sec me? Go about thy work. And I will oom? and visit thee at home." vnd I in love with ail hie uoble ways. Feeling thal ho iu nothing could do wrong, VSAentcd, saving, ''F.venso I will, But quickly rome ind make thy visit long; "That 1 may speak with th.-.? of hidden things, Tell the? alike of all my joy aud paiu, And feel thy freshness ?ll my spirit through, Assummer'8 rosea feel thc summer rain." And then wo parted; but another day Had not passed over ute before the crowd Began to laugh at me and call nie fool, With hero and there a voice that cried aloud, "Come seek with us lor hin who is your friend; " Aud I waa weak euough to them obey, And follow them, despite my better thought, For ma. cy a night and many a weary day. We found him not, though ever and auon His name wc read in books that were ot old, Winch said that onco bil presence had boen Bwoet; That ho would como and tenderly enfold To Ids warm heart some man of humble birth, And talk with him in language just as mild Aa that which my mother might repeat Above the cradle of her little child. Aad then I Bald, "This glorv must bo mine; Wita icse than this I cannot be content;" So left the crowd to seek him as they would, And to my home with eager feet I went. And what to find? My friend awaiting me, Here in hts place as he has been before; And down I sank as if it ought to bc Tuat be my friend would be my friend no more. But h?, ae if no beggar for his grace, I came of right into his presence fair, Lifted me up end from my speechless face Put back the masses of my tangled hair. And kissed me oace aud kissed me < ?vice ' again. And ?aid, "No greater is thy need of me. Than ia my need, although it aeemcth not, Of living andcommninuK still with thee." ##?**** Jty words arti false, my thoughts are very true; My friend was God, and ever by his grace. Although by searching I can find him not, My soul doth aervo us for a trysting placu. HABD TIMES* ..What makes you look so dull this morning, Ellen?" inquired Mr. Ches? ter, a yoting merchant in a small way, to his wife. They had been married about a year, and thus far not an ill-natured word had been spoken by them. At his marriage, Chester hud taken a small, but neat and convenient house, in the upper part of tho city. He had been able to furnish it in a plain manner, but since hi* marriage his business had added many articles of luxury to hi? small establishment. The '-times'' had began to tighten np however, and business was dull. The notes were duo, and he had to ^pstir himself to nutko his payments. Fortunately for him, however, as the stringency in the money market began to weigh most heavily, his lather's administrator placed him in possession of $2,000, which had been reserved to await the contingencies of a law suit, und which had now been satisfactorily adjusted. With this sum ho had been ablcs to pity off his more pressing demands, and to lay by a surplus of ???00 to meet a note which would fall due s >mo two months hence. The receipt of this sum hu.l also induced him to increaso the luxuries of Iiis house. Tho parlor had been newly furnished, and the old parlor iiimiture placed in tho sitting room. They had everything that was neces? sary for comfort omi for creditable nppearanco. "You look very dull," continued the husband, as he rose from the breakfast table. Ellen looked up at him with a lan? guid smile, but made no replv. "What ails you?" 'Twas thinking how lonesome 1 should bo hore all day." "Lonesome! Why don't you gc out, then, and take the air. Walk down Washington street, and rounc: tho common-it will revive youl ?ipivits." ' How absurb you talk! Wall r?->nnd tho common in the month o December. Why I should freeze t< death. " ?v??otso badas that," replied th young husband, chuckling hi? wif< ^d?rtlKfrAhr. "Go tfc'fbe^tT**-"*' m?uoi and see the picture**" 1. -. ,v ts "I coald'nt do' that' every*, day, j and yo? don't know feow-lonesome J I am." "Can't yow read*" "I don't want to road all the tim.;?." "Read part the timo, then." "But, Fred., I have bears, thinking ot' something," and a smile playea j upon the pretty lip? of the young | wife. .'What, Ellen?-; "I miss something in mw linitee.'* "Do you." "O, very much, indeed." "Well, Ellen, what ia it, "A piano; it would bo so nice to practice these long dreary days. I should be as happy as a princess if I only h ?sd a piano." Mrs. Chester's father was in af- | fluent circumstances, and before she was married, she hail been accustom? ed to ninny luxuries, which her hus band*6 limited means would not pei*- ' mit him to provide. "But, Ellen. I can't afford ? piano. j The times have not been so hard ui ten year?." .'You have $.r>0u in the bank." "But I have reserved it to pay all notes." "Don't you expect to muk" enough j to pay it." "It is very doubtful; my business hardly pays expenses." "You will be able to pa} that, 1 know." continued the eloquent peti- j tioner. "Well, m\ dear, you shall have a ? piano." j "You are a dear husband. You'll get me one of Chiekering's?" "Auy kind vou please, my dear." And liefere dinner time the instru? ment came home, and Mrs. Chester was as happy as a piano could make her, albeit she had little idea of the significance of "threo per cent a month, and protested notes." Men said tho times would be bet? ter, but the prophecy was vain. Mer? chants failed, brokers failed, the bank and insurance companies failed. Bu? siness was duller than it had been for the last twenty years. Poor men lounged nt tho corners of the streets, vainly waiting for a job. while there wives and children shiv? ered with the cold, and hungered even for a crust of bread. Ruiu and dis? ease were tho order of the day. and men wondered -where would be the end of it all. Fred. Chester's business did not pay his shop expenses, to say nothing of his household, and when that dreadful note fell due, he had not a dollar towards redeeming it. Rubi stared him in the face, and it was now his turn to look snd. Five hundred dollars was a small sum, yet lie could not raise it. Even threo per cent, a month, without "collateral," would not procure it. Something must be done. Some friend must get him ont of the scrape, or he must certainly fall. His wife's father was wealthy, but he had mar? ried his daughter against his wishes, and there was no hope in that quar? ter. But Ellen's uncl >. a blunt, honest master mason, had always looked kindly upon him, and per? haps he would open his purse strings. The note was due on the following lay, and he decided to make the ap? plication to Uncle Luke, as he was familiarly called. In the course of the forenoon, however, he happened to call at the store, and Fred, stated his positiou. "Eli," said the blunt old mechanic. "I thought things was gointr on swimmingly with you." "So they wore, but th? times are io deucedly hard that 1 cannot make enough to pay expenses," replied Fred., with a dolorous expression of ?ountenauce. "Where's the $2,000 which yon re? vived from your father's estate?" '.I paid my debts with it." "But didn't you tell me thai \<>:t lidu't owe above $2.000?" "I paid offt?l,500." "And the rest?" "Well, that went in various ways. " "And your stock ?sall mortgaged?" "Yes; for S1,000. "You have done a good business?" "Yes." "Well, well, 1 am in a hurry just low, but I will go up and dine with fou, and we will talk it over." and Jncle Luke left thc shop. Fred, did not like his uncle's in piisi ti veness, but had a strong hope ,hat he would get him ont of his pro lent scrape. Writing a hasty note. ie despatched Ins boy'to inform his vife thal Uncle Lnke would dine with hem. Dinner came, and to did Uncle Luke. Ellen had u nice dinner reil? ly, and her pretty face covered with ?miles, when she welcomed the honest dd mun to partake of tho hospitali? ties of her board. Uncle Luke seated himself at the ?able. His accustomed smile had dis ippeared, ami ho looked rather stern. "Fred.," said ho, soddenly, to the roting merchant, as he inserted his fork iii the breast of tho nicely browned roast turkey, "you have not found the philosopher's stone, yet." Fred, suspended the operation of ;arviug tho turkey, and gazed with a look of astonishment full in the face if the speaker. "What do you mean, Unelo Luke?" isked he. "You don't know what the philoso? pher's stone is, do you ?" "No." "I found it out when I ?ras quite ? young mau, and v hat prosperity has crowned mo, I owe to that." "Fray explain. Uncle Lake. " - ^????S??r,"l will." - - Somehow, in spite of the exiraor? dlnary' pitepanitioas Ellen had made for the reception of her uncle, the dinner did not pass off Very plea? santly. There was a reservo ou his pari, which threw cold water on the w-holo affair., lint it was finished, at last, to tho relief of all. "Now, uncle, come into tho par? lor, and Ellen shall play you a tune or two onher piano.*' said Fred., lead? ing the way. - "On her what," snhl the ?.ld man, with a start of surprise. 'On her piano, of course." 'Then you keep a piano?" "Certainly; we could not possibly get along without a pion?, could we. Ellen?" "Fm sure we. oonldn't," replied the young wife. "O, it is such a comfort." "?Such a luxury, you mean," an? swered Uncle Luke: "what did you give for it ?" "Five hundred."' '.Is it paid for?" "Certainly, it is." .'And your not? due to-morrow, which you cannot nn-t;t?" Fred, glanced at Ellen, who looked a- woe-begoue as though she had lost ev.-ry friend she had in thc world. .'it was not his fault, nncl?-; I teazed it out of h'm.'" said she. "Then he is a lugger fool than I t<?ok him to bo," replied Unelo Euko, contemptuously. "Aud then he is not doing business enough to pay his expenses; you dine on roast turkey aud nil manner of fancy .stuft'." Uncle Luke, though couociou? chai, he was meddling with that which did not concern him, could nut control his indignation at the wanton extra? vagance of the young people. He felt kindly towards them as he al? ways had, and though his words were harsh aud cold, hp intended to do them a kindness. "Yes; and. Ellen, you wear a bilk gown for every day, and, to crown all, you have got a piano. Do you expect to pay your notes in this man? nt r, Fred. ?' continued he. "Here is the secret of hard times-extrava? gance-silk dresses, roast turkey, ice creams and pianos." "Things were going very weii with me when I bought the piano." sug gested Fred. "Xo matter, you aro H tool; now 1 will tell you what thc philosopher's stone is." Uncle Euko paused, and looked coldly into Tie? eyes of the young merchant. "Well, uncle, what is itV" "Live within your means, lt you do not earn but a dollar, spend only seventy-five cents." and Uncle Luke put ou his great coat and edged to? wards the door, without even allud? ing to tho important topic in winch Fred, felt so much interest. "But, Uncle Luke, can you loud me the money I want'?" asked Fred., dismayed at the thought of failure ' 'No. I cannot. " "Then I must i';?i!. " "Wm ought to hay- thought of that when you bought the piano,*' replied Uncle Luke, sternly. "Do yon know Waters?" "The carpenter?'" "Ye?. Apply to him. and he will end yon the money." "But ho is almost .-. stranger to ne." "No matter, go to him.*' and Uncle Luke left the house, p"Oh, Fred., this is all my fault." <iiid Ellen, bursting into ten rs. Fred, did apply to Waters. "What security can you give?" i^ked the carpenter. "1 don't know." replied Fred., loubtingly "My stock ia mort? gaged. " ' 'Household furniture?" "No." "What have you got?" "A piano and --. " ' That will do; give me n bill of hat. ll' not paid within thirty days, he piano is mine." Fred assented and received the nio tey. The papers were executed, and .Ved. got ont of the scrape. During tho succeeding thirty ?lays. ie tried to raise the money to redeem ho piano, without success. Waters ook it at tho appointed time, and leemed perfectly satisfied with h?. ?argain. A ?ow days after, thu young couple vere surprised to receive an invita iou to dine with Uncle Luke, and, o their astonishment, w hen they ar 'ived, they found their piano in br? ittle parlor. "Did you lniv this?" asked Fred. Hut Uncle Luke would answer ne juestions, yet he promised to make lima present of it os s.>.m as lie paid til his debts. Tho dinner consisted o? corn bte! md baked potatoes, with an apple pit 'or dessert. Undo Euko was in un? usually good spirits, und never one. ipologized for th;- singular fur. he hm Maced before bis guest.-. l>u' tiny understood th? m< .min; >f it. lt was intended es n lessoi 'or them, and they profited by it. Tiley brought horne, the philoso pher'e stone, and begin to live by ai ?tumbler >yst?m. Trie hired girl wa lischitrged, and Ellen had so lum-i to do in attending to lier houschoh luties that sbc had no timo to b lonesome; they were much linppie than when she moped all day in th parlor; and better than this th limes began to mend, and Fred.'a bu sinesa prospered nguiu. He ?mid ol his mortgage, and tho piano was dui; returned to them, because they cou! Afford a- luxury.
