I'll never trust vfiiihuss friend, With precious flowers again, I never had a dream of love, But give my bosom pain. I never lovely a jingle flower, \ Beneath' yoh Boft bine sky, , Ere it reach its blossom-hood, |'| \ Was sure to droop and die. I never saw a winsome face. With melting lustrous-eyes; ??> Or gathered roses for a wreatn, But brought unpleasant sighs. I never watched at dewy eve, When twilight charms the hour, But the sweetest dew drops fell, Upon some distant flower. I never dreamed of casket brighlj With sparkling gems for me, But in my waking hours I found. ii Saine false one held the key. I never had a potion sweet, And sighed to drink it up, * But I found some bitter dreg, . Still mingled ip the ,cnp,v OUT OF WORK. '"It's no use, Maria, I h nve tried every where." 'But you are not going to givo it up, Peler?" "Gjveup! How can I helivit? Within four days I have been to every hook .bin defy ul the'jbityUiud uet a bit of work can I get."

O "And what, did you mean to do for them?" |i * "I offered either to post their accounts, make otii hills, or attend to the counter." Mrs. Stan wood smiled us her husband thus spoke. ? X "What makes you smile?"*he nsked. ' To think that ymV slJftuld have im agined that voii would fifiil work in such u place. But how is Murk Leeds?" 'Tie is worse off than 1 am." "How so?" "He has nothing in his house to cat." A shudder crept over his wife's frame now.i? "Why do you tremble, wife?" ? "Because when we shall have eaten our breakfast to-morrow morniug, we shall have nothing." _.

T/J 7f JO# 'HIS ; "You ate the lull's noon." f "Then we must starve!" groaned the stricken man, starting across the room. Peter Stanwood was a book binder by trade, and had now been out of ercploy taentH ab?ht a mouth.' Ho was one of | those who generally calculated to keep about squaro with the world, and who consider themselves particularly fortunate if they keep out of debt. Ho was now thirty years pf age, and had three chil-1 drcn to provide for, besides himself and wife, and this jtogcthcr with houso rent, was a heavy draught upon his purse.cvcn when work was plenty, but now?there was nothing. "Maria," said he, stopping and gazing his wife in tho face, "we must starve. I have not a single penny in the world." "But do not despair Beter. Try again to-morrow for work. You may find something to'do. Anything 'that is hon est is honorable. Should'you make but a shilling a day, we should not starve." .. "But pur hftHfiQ/QflM i "Trust to me for that. The landlord shall hot turn us out. If you will engage to find something to do, I will sec that we have house room." UV)\ make' ono more trial,', fojlttered Peter, despairingly. "But you muBt go prepared tp do any thing." "Anything reasonable, Maria." .. ii ^W;hat do you call reasonable?" " Why *?anything decent." She felt inclined to smile, but the mat ter was too serious for that, and a cloud passed over her face. She knew hor husband's disposition, and she felt sure he would find no work. She knew that he would look for some kind of work, which would not lower him in the social scale, as he had once or twice expressed it, However, she knew it would he of no use to say anything to him now, and so she let tho matter pass. On.the following morning, ;tho last bit of foot) in the house was put on the table. Stauwood could hardly realize'that he was penniless and , without food. For years he had been gay, thoughtless, and fortunate, making the most of the present forgetting the past, and letting the future take care of itself. Yet the truth was naked and clear; and when he left the house, he said, "something must be done." f.\ No sooner' had her husband gone, than Mrs. Stan wood put on her bonnet'nud shawl. Her oldest child was a girl eleven years old, and her youngest four. She asked her next door neighbor if she would tnke care of her children until noon. These children were known to be good and quiet, ana they were taken cheerfully. Then Mrs. Stauwood locked up hor house and went away. She re turned at noon bringing some dinner for her children, and then she went away again. She came home in the evening before her husband, carr.j ing a heavy basket upon her arm. "Well, Peter," she asked, after her husband had entered and sat down, 'what luck?' "Nothing! nothing!" he groaned. "I made out to get a dinner with an old' chum, but could not find work." "And where have you looked to-day "O?everywhere. I've been to hundred pljtces,.but it's the same story in every place.?It's nothing but one eternal no! no! no!"I'm sick and tired pfit," "What have you offered to do?" "Why, I even went so far a* to tend a liquor store down town." The wife smiled. "Now what shall we do?" uttered Peter spasmodically, "Why, wc will eat oursnppcr first.nnd tulk the matter over." "Supper! Have you got any1?" * "Yes?plenty of it.'' "But you told mc you had none." "Neither had wo this morning, but I've bean after work to day, and found some." f Jf'Ypu/ been after tvork?" uttered the husband in surprise. "Yes." 'But how?where?what?' 'Why;rat I'went to Mrs. Snow's. I know her girl was sick and I hoped she migh have work to be done. I went to her and told her my story, and she set me at work nt ence doing her washing. She gave me food to bring home to my children, and paid rac three shillings when I got through.' 'What?you been washing for our butcher's wife?' said Peter, looking very much'' surprised. 'Of course I have, and have thereby earned enough to keep us in food through to-morrow, at atiy rate; so to-morrow you 'But how about the rent?' 'O, I have seen Mr. Simpson, told him just how wo were situated, and offered him my watch as a pledge for the pay ment of our rent within two months.with the interest on arearnges up to that date. I told him Ldid the business because you wero away hunting up work.' 'So he's got your gold watch?' 'No?ho Wouldn't take it. Ho said if I ufould bocomo responsible for tho rent, he would lot it rest.' 'Thou we've got a roof to cover us,and food Tor to-morrow. But what next? What a curso theso hard times are!' 'Dori'l despuir, Peter, for wrc shall not starve I'vo got work enough engaged to keep us alive.' 'Ah?what is that?' 'Why, Mr. Snow has engaged mc to carry small packages, baskets, bundles, and so forth, to his rich customers. He has Ifffdltolglvo up quc of his horses." 'What do you mean, Maria?' 'Just what 1 say.

Too Much Wayrled. Colonel W, \V. Price, the, millionaire brewer of New York city^ pan bpa^t'oT'j the most rcmarkablo marital c$i>prieiipes of any man living. . Thirty-five years ago: when apoorjclork, ho married . Susanna Butler, iu Birmingham, England, but | separated from her by mutual agreement a, year aferward, and came to N,ew York, Susauna marryiugshortly aftor one Sairl uel Green. In 1843 he married Miss' Cnralinc Barton, a young lady;of respec table family in Brooklyn, who was not a\*farc,of his; first marriage,! , Thpy.^had in the,family au Irish servant named Bridget Fallen, with whom,; as.iti after ward, appeared, the Colonel, beesmo fa vorably impressed. Meanwhile, wife No. 2 learned that wife. Ko. 1 was living, und left her husband, whereupon ho applied for an annulment of the marriage, which .was granted, and since that tine the Colo nel has supported hor. Subsequently a report reached him that wife No. 1 was dead, whereupon , he married Bridget Fallen, Bridget, however, was not 'refined enough to adorn his homo, and trouble began to ai ise. Wife No, 2, inaflc an attempt to open the decree adjudging her marriage void, upon tho ground thai it was obtained by fraud. A commission was sent to Euglnnd in the courso of the litigation, und wife No. 1 was found, with a whole flock of little Greens about her. Thereupon tho Colonel took meas ures to annual his marriage to wife No. 8, in which he has succeeded, although iie has to support her and the children. Tho (Colonel now finds himself supporting two families, with two women on his bauds who have borne him legitimate children and yet wero not legitimate wives, and the legitimate husbnu4 of a legitimate wife who is another man's wife. It is highly probable that tho wealthy New York brewer isnow entirely satisfied with the marrying business, aud will hereafter devote himself simply to beer.
