"Cidl around and pay! Why didn't he send the money? That would have been easier." Rising from his bench, the shoemaker went to his little unpaiuted pine desk on which was ?u old square cork inkstand and the stump of a quill, five inches long, which was dignified by the name of a pen, and took therefrom a package of bills, lie went over then twice before selecting one, for there eeemcd a little promise for tliut day in any of them. * "Taketliisto Mr. Glenn," said he to his boy, "and tell him that lie will particularly oblige me if lie will let me have the money.

' 'Hi c lioy was gone nearly half nn hour; Mr. Glenn's store was in a distant part of the town, though his family, for which Mr. Barker worked lived in the neighborhood. A dozen times before he came back had the anxious mcrcliaiit paused in his work and fixed his eyes upon the door, Imping for his boy's return. At hist lie came in. "'Welly.Aurffew, what success?'' He tried to upeak cheerfully. ' Mr. Glenn says he will eall around and pay." The shoemaker's countenance fell, lie let his eyes drop to the work in his lap, and bent his head face downward, so that its expression might be partly concealed from the hoy." "Did you say that he would oblige me par ucuiariy i>y Peiuing tno lull, as it was Saturday, nnd I had 1113- workmen to pay ?"

"Call around I It's only to get off!" I'm out of nil patience!" And the perplexed shoemaker grew excited. They're nil eager enough to get their work, and sharp spoken enough if itisnt ready to-the minute. But when it comes to paying, the matter is of too little importance to claim their attention. Ah ! here's Mayberiy's account"?he had been running over the bills ns he talked. Did'nt he promise to settle to d?j- ? '"Yes, air, I think he did," replied the boj*. "Very well.

A thin,*pnle, wear}' loolking woman opened the shop d^or nt this moment, and carno in.

It was hardly possible for her J j p (o leave li?:r husband again, aud moreover, she had promised to bring him home the wine. j | "1 am very sorry, Mrs. Illy the,"repeated the | shoemaker, "but what i.-?, cannot be helped."' True, true. I learned that long ngn, said 1 the women with a half-despairing sigh. "The j 1 lessons of poverty sink deep enough into the ' memory."

How could she j return to her sick, exhausted husband, without J . the wine tliut win to solid through all the courscs ofliis blood a quickening spirit! She had felt as if this wine was to l>e to him the ' very clixcr of life, and since it lia-4 been mentioned by the doctor, she had seen that her j ' husband's thoughts were resting upon it, to the j exclusion of everything else. To go home ' ' without it, therefore, was a serious thing, and ' might involve evil consequences ; for his con- j 1 dition was one of extreme prostration, and the I slightest cause might desttoy the even balance j of life just attained, and throw a prepon- : derancc upon the wrong side. i , Slnwlv >it litiiirfti slio nuivii.l tnu'tif.lj lli.> I 'floor.

On his way lie passed a wine store, and dropped in to orJer n ease of choice Am- '1 ontilndo, the flavor of which he hud tried nn<l approved. > "Send it home within an hour. I wish a bottle for my dinner." said Mr. 1 Jed wood, as he ! j, took out his pocket book to pay for the wine. I "It shall be done," was the ready answer. ' As the merchant, replaced his pocket book, ' and was buttoning his coat over his breast, a j , poorly dressed, worn and feeble looking wo- j man came into the store, and walked buck with | an air of timid irresolution, to where th; two j ^ men?the wine dealer and his customer?were j standing. "Well what's wanted i" said the wine deal j ^ er, in a short, imperative voice. "My husband is very low, ftnd the doctor ' ^ litis ordered him some wine." The woman's' | sad, pleading tone, made it very apparent to j / the dealer that she came to beg, and not to j buy. * '"Ilns ho, indeed?'' The voice of the wine j dealer was half insulting. , j, "I failed to get money for my work, and I I cannot go home without the wine. O, ?ir, if you'll trust me for a bottle I will certainly come and pay you! The money is earned and it is promised to me this afternoon." S The wine merchant laughed, snoeringly, ns he made nnswer: , "It won't ?lo, my good woman! The trick is too stale." "But Mr?" The urgency of the ease made Mrs. IJIytlio 1 importunate. "There?there! That will do! f??i now !*, and tlio wine merchant waved his hand toward the door impatiently. Mrs. lilytlie tnrned and s went a way, not speaking another word. The j eyes of Mr. Jted wood were on her pale, thin -j face, and he saw there an expression that haunted him, as we arc H?metimes haunted 0 by a face in a picture for many days afterward. t' "A common dodge," said the wine merchant, / in a vulgar way, ns ute woman pass-jrt into Hie n street. "If I had given Iter the bottle of wine, she would have been as drunk as a benst in c' half an hour!" s Mr. lledwood, in whose memory that part- tl inglook of Mrs. Blythe had dagucrrotypcd it- ^ self, thought differently, but he gave no utterance to his thoughts. The woman's story was a true one," he saiil '' to himself, as lie passed on his way homeward. H I wish I had nsked her residence and he looked , v carefully all around him, up and down the e street, with a kind of vague hope of seeing her. Hut already too long away from her exhausted I1 husband, she had hurried baek to him with al- ii most flvint; feet. c # j O "O, Mary," whimpered a feeble voice as she I ^ leaned over the bed, "how long you have been nway!

The icmp or flax is the produce of the btalk, nnd he cotton is the head or bulb of the nlant. It oqtiircs but little labor to cultivate it, for when nee planted, it will remain in the ground for event! years, throwing out fresh shoot* and talks every year.
