HOME SCENES.

No. 3.- The Two Homes.
Two men, on their way home, inet.

and it n. [)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

What is to becotme of us'
'lHeaven only knows,' aniwered M1r.
Freetman. -For my pa t, I tsee 11o

'Many think we are at the worst,
said Mr. Walcott.
'And others, that we have scarcely

: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.
QOL said
" The coal is all gone,'

'so youl always say, wh~en any thing

tartly. 'The barrel of' fP. u r is gone
