Charles EUery felt like making some
• harsh reply to his wife’s remark, hut lie
I could not - help seeing that sho did not
: deserve it, and * in nn unhappy and dis-
! contented mood he turned and left the
ed with the - rest in the sport. The dice
box was procured, and the party, eight
... all, commenced the game. Round
and ronnd went the dice—one* after an
other of the party, was freed from the
‘treat and at length Chailes Ellery was
decided the loser. Hot brandy punches
were'called for, and Charles paid the
bill—fifty cents—but that was nothing—
‘twas mere sport; and withoui a thought
save of pleasure, he threw a three dollar
bill upon the bar, from which to have
the expenses of the eight “punches”
taken.” The sport was so exciting that
the dice box was called for again, and
though Charles got dear of the bill, yet
ho drank with the rest, and then a third
time did Charles Ellery drink
All hands were now ready ior amuse
ment. One thing after another was pro
posed, until at length it w as ogrsed to
have a cosy game of billiards. Had
Charles been asked half an hour previ-
his most excited
merits of social frolic, he luul never
dreamed that harm wea being the result.
His breakfast was eaten in silence, and
promising that he would be at homo to
an early dinner, ho went to his work.
"Good God!” exclaimed Charlee
Ellery, «yj l w step»»c*«i out into the open
air. “ Is it }>ossibl»> thst I have *»o long
been sowing the seeds of misery in my
family ? Yesterday morning my good,
kind wife wanted !kr$q daUerrt to buy a
sack. for our dear child. I could not
spare it! And yet, last evening I spent
the fall snm for nothing—ay, worse than
nothing, for even now my head aches,
and m.Vj wliole, system is out of tune
from last night’s scrape. Now, my child
is sick for the went of that very throe
dollars. Then, how I have di
ed end cheated myself. I need
boot”, nnd yet I suffered for their want
because I thought I could non afford it;
and yet, what I spent last night would
have bought them, and my money would
have been a source of lasting good: but
now I have made it a lasting evil.
In such meditation Charles EUery
walked to his shop. A thousand
of the past came back to his min-
he saw a thousand pictures of his ingrati
tude to his wife, bis child, and himself.
How many timea had his wife wanted
some little article of comfort that he

After her husband hr.d gone, Mrs.
Ellery endeavored to soothe her
child’a feedngs ; but it was with a heavy
heart that she saw her little daughter
start for school, for she knew that her
dress was insufficient to protect her from
tho weather, bat she fixed the little oue
up the best fdieeonld, and faintly hoping
she might not suffer,- the mother saw the
child depart, tu vaia was it that Mrs.
Ellery tried to banish the unpleasant
feeling that had taken possession of her
mind, for long had she suffered in silence
| and alone ; and throughout the day. she
‘ was sad and unhappy.
Charles Ellery was u good mechanic,
j and be worked very steadily, and his
( pay amounted to ten dollars a week.
J Ilia house rent was only one dollar
! and twenty-five cents per week, his furni
ture was all paid for, and his provisions
. did not average over four dollars a week
I yet his wife and children actually suf
; fered, at times, for tlin W3nt of clothing.
; Not that they were ever ragged, or oven
j short of decent wearing apparel, but
| there were many little things that would
j really hare conduced to their comfort
| and happiness, which they were obliged
I to do without : nnd then, when the wife
j did obtain some trifling article of dress,
the money with which to pay for it came
so hard and ungraciously, that she would
almost rather have done without it.—
Tlien* was another thing that added to
her weight of sorrows. For a long time
her husband had passed his evenings
ny from, home even remaining away
till midnight, and often later, and at such
times he made frequent use of alcoholic
beverages; but against, this she had
never made a decided remonstrance, for
he had never returned to his home in a
state of intoxication, and she had no idea
that what little he drank could raako
much difference in a pecuniary point of
Y'et Sarah Ellery was not with
out her fears, nnd as night after night
passed, and found her husband absent'
from his home she could not hut tremble
for the future.
That night little Lucy returned from
school wet and cold; and with a mother’s
fond care, Mrs. Ellery changed her gar-
mepta and placed her by a warm fire;
bnt a ecld shiver seemed to have taken
possession of the child, which no out*
ward warmth, could overcome, and the
mother justly feared that the daughter
would be aiok. Charles came home to
his supper, and the events of the mom*
ing passed from his mind, he was com-
■' paratively_happy and cheerful; bat still
When Charles Ellery left his jolly
companions, he found that he hod spent
just thrr* dollars; but the fumes ol
pleasing liquor still made him feel hap
py, and he thought it a mere trifle when
jcgjBfvred with the amount of social
pleasure he had received frottr it; With
a light easy «tep he started towards
his home, bnt* ere he had been long on
his way, bis atep grew heavier, for he
happened to remember that he had prom
ised his wife that he would be at home in
good season, and when he entered his
dwelling it was not without a misgiving
that he was not doing exactly of
ought to do. He fonnd hia wife with a
thick shawl drawn close over her shoul
ders, silting over the fire ; and as the
gentle Sarah cast her eyes towards him,
he conld not fail to observe that they
were red and swolen with weeping.
“Why, Sarah, what are you up for at
this late time of night ?” asked Charles,
iu a sort- of wandering, uneasy tone.
“I could not go till yon had come,
Charles,” said she, rising from her sent,
and extending her baud to her husband.
“And liesidesour child is very sick. O,
I hope that Lucy will not have the fever
that is ko prevalent around nn.”
“O, there's no danger, I guess,” re
turned Mr. EUery, in a conciliatory tom
“ Only a slight cold—she’ll soon get ovt
health, and his strength, while his poor
wife wan lonesome and 3at at home.—

When Mr. EUery returned from his

but yet not dangerously so. The doctor
had left word for him to go to-1«*-apo
