"Your credit- is goodj". saicfc < Edwards,

"Credit! I've no oredit:>;I: npyer asked a

customer. - .. *
"I'll jriut you to half Uiiat Ujn my store,"
was answered.
' Thank you," said Jaobbs,-feeling a little
flattered by a compliment,, like this. "Bur
I've no wants in the. drj'-goods^ line to that
extent. A skein of silk ami a dozen of
buttons for my wife, are all that I want at
present." ..
"You want a new cOat^ .and the persevering

Bargains of this kind don't-grow on every

While Edwards talked thus he was displaying
the rich goods he wished to fell in
a way to let ihe -rich glo?sy.-surface entcli
the best points of light, and his quick eyes
Boon told him that hi* customer was beginning
to be tempted'.: $*.
"I'll cut you off a.roat pattern," said he
taking up his yard stick,"I^flow you wantj

Jacobs did not say ?n?j>" although the

Notwithstanding -the credit at the* dry
goods store, tbere was no more money, in
ihe young clerk's purse nt.tjie end pf six
mon'lifi than at the beginning. ..The cash
flfivl would have,gone for clothing; when
n^ewity^cnlled for addition^* to the family
wardrobe had been spf-nt for thing*. the
pi!rcnase"bf which would have been omitted,'
but for the fact tlmt the. dollar* were in the
purse instead of the storekeeper's bands, and
templedAioedlcRS expenditure.
As the end of the six months eredit period
approached,$fthe mind of Jacobs begarr
to rest upon the dry goodB .dealer's bill, and
to be disturbed hy.ji fe.elincr of anxietv. As
to the amount of .this hill he was in some
uncertainty, but. ftesiiought that it would
not be less than forty dollars. That was a
large sum for him to owe, particularly as he
had nothing aln-ad, and his current expenses
were fully up.to his incom<*. Tt is now, for
the first time in hialife. that Jae/jlw felt the
nightmare pressure of debt, and it seemed
as if it would suffocate him.
One evening he came home, feeling more
sober than usual. On meeting his wife lie
saw that something was wrong.
"Whit ails you, Jane?" said lie kindly.
"Are you sick ?"
"No," was her simple reply. But her
eycsdr??pp?'d as she said it. and her husband
saw that her lips quivered.
"Something is wrong Jane," said the husband.
Tears sfole lo the wife's cheeks from lieneat
h her hidf-clwed eyes?the bosom labored
with the ue'jrht of some pn snure.
"Tell me. Jam*," urged Jacolw, "if any
thing is wrong. Your - manners alarm nie.

"Oh, no, no. Nothing of that," was

H For a raomentor t\jo longer tlie. husband,
and. wife stood looking at each other. Then,
as eiach sighed heavily, the former turned
nwaymnd left the house. His road tobusiniaj&was
pHat the store of Mr..Edwards;
lyitnpw hejivouled- the street ip which he
liv&L nnd went a whole block out of his
wayto do. so. "IIo'w
am i tct pay this bill," murmured
the unhappy Ja^bs pausing in his work
for the tweniieth time as he sat at his desk,
and giving'his mind tip to troubled,thoughts.

thii establishment came, up and.stood beside

Jacob* tried to smile and look cheerful as
he replied : -*
,4Pr. tty well, sir." Btit his voice had in
it n touch of despondency.
"Let me see," remarked the employer
after a pHiyje, "your regular year is'up to-'
lrty, itf*it no! f
wYe?, sir," replied Jacobs, hiR heart si liking
more heftvily- in his bosom, for the
question suggested n.-discharge from the
place?business having beeii dull for some
lime. >
"I was looking at your account ygsterday"
resumed the employer, "and find that
it- is drawn up close. Have you nothing
ahead I"
"Not a dollar, I,am Rorry to say " resumed
Jacobs. "Living is expensive and I have
six mouths to feed?'. . -
-max oeingtue ease," s?id the employer,
"as you have been fniiliful to. us, and your
services are valuable, we must ndd something
to your snlnry. You now receive
sewn hundred dollars ?"
"Ye.?, nir." * ^
"We wi|l f?ll it eight hundred and fifty."
A sudden light flashed into the face of the
unhapnv clerk; seeing which, the employer
already blessed in blessing another, added:
"And'it sh?ll be. for The la?t as wj'11 us
for ihei coming yenr. I will? fill yot^ out a
' heck for one hundred and fifty dollars, as
the balance due you np to this day."
The feeling" of Jacobs were loo much attached
to trust himitelf, with oral thanks, as
he received tlin cheek, which the employer
immediately filled up: but his countenance
fully expressed his prateful emotions.
A little while afterwards the y<?nn?'mnn
entered the store of Edwards, wKo met him
with n Pmilintr faee.
