[)I:;. 'This la, beet- n. y hard day, said Mr. FreemaI. in a I my voi'e. 'A v, ry hard daty,' echoe"d almot sepulchrally, Mr. Waleott. 'Little or Io CLsh coming i -paymuuts he-nv --mtoney searCel, aid at ritna iates. What is to becotme of us' 'lHeaven only knows,' aniwered M1r. Freetman. -For my pa t, I tsee 11o light ahead. Evety day co i.c new repot ts ot iailures ; every dtv confi. dence diminishcs ; every day Sainelt' prop that we leatied upon is taken away.' 'Many think we are at the worst, said Mr. Walcott. 'And others, that we have scarcely seen the beginnittng Of the cnd'-re :turned the neighbor. And so, as they walked horneward, they discutiraged Cah other, and eiae darker the clouds that obscured their whole horiz-in. 'Good evening,' was at last said. hurriedly ; and the two men paseed into their homnes. Mr. Walktott entered the room, where his wife anad children were gathered, and without spleakigll to any one, seated himself in a chair, and leanling his head back, closed ilis eyes. his countenance wore a said, weary, exhausted look, lie had beent seated thus for only a few -minutes, whien his wife said, in a fretful voice 'More trouble again. 'Wht's the miatter now ?1' asked Mr. Walcott, abneost starting. 'John has been seat home from school.' W~Vhat!' Mr. Walcott partly arose from his chair. -Hec's been suspended for bad con - duct.' 'O dear!l' groaned Mr. Walcott 'where i~s he t' 'Up in his room. I sent him there as soon as he came haomte. You'll have to do someth~ling with him. le'll be ruined if lie goes on in this way. d'm out of all heart with him.' Mr. Walcott, excited as mutch hv sthe manner in which hisi wife conveyed 'unpleasiat inf'ormuation itself, started sup under the blind impulse ofC'the *imotment, and going to the room whlere -*lohnhaid beent on coinig bomne fromt 'school, ptunished the boy severely, and ethi's, without listening to the~ explanua. tions . which the poor child tried to -mla!:, himt hear. 'Father,' said the boy, with forced --ehaioess,uafter the cruel stripes had -ceased-'I wasri't' to blame ; and if youi will go with mec to the teacher, I -can' prove myself innlOoent.' Mr. Walcott had neveriknown his son to tell anh untruthi ; and tlh0 words smote wvith rebune upon his heurt. 'Very well-we will see atbout that? -he arnswered, with fo~rced sternness, and leaving the room he went down :stfirs,Meling mtuchi worse' th:ma when beo went d#i.. Aguain he seated himself in hislarge giair and- again leanied back his weary, head, anud clos'ed his heavy eyelids. Sadder was his faee than belibro. As he sat thus, his old e.t daighter, in her sixteenth year, caniie aind stootl by him. She held a paler inl her hiand 'Fitlir'--he opened his eyes. 'Here's my quarter bill. h's twen ty dollars. Can't I have the money to take to school with ie this morn 'I'm afraid not'-answered MIr. W alcott, hal sd ly. 'Nearly all the girls will bring in their moniey'to-miorrow ; and it morti lies ie to be behind ile others.' The daughter spoke fretfully. Mr. Wa! Cott waved her aside wiLh his liaid, an] she went off muttering and pout. 'It is mortif'ying,' 1pole up Mrs. Waleott, at littlea shiarpl -'aind i don't wander that lielet fuels 1impleaanitly about it. The bill has to be paid, and I don't see why it may not be done as well first as hist.' To this Mr. Waeilott made no an. swer. Thiie wiords but aided niother pruss1ure to the burdhen uider which he iwas already staggering. Aftier a silelce of somije Ao..ents, irs. Wal.
