Clarence Spencer, the young man
to whom the words hail been ad

and looked toward the speaker.
Clarence was a young man, not
more than live and twenty,and was
a book-keeper for Mr. Solomon
in his tone, ‘you
carry it there!’
Clarence looked up in surprise.
‘I—I carry it there?'
‘Yes; you have the burden in
heart, and you mean to carry it

been there and know all about it.

‘A heavy burden, ini', it, Clar
ence?’ the merchant repealed.
And st II the young man iras si
lent, His looks indicated that he
did not comprehend. He had been
for some time bending over the
ledger, with his thoughts far away;
and that bis thoughts were not
pleasant, ones was evident from t' - e
gloom on Ins handsome face.
‘My dear doy, the burden is not
only heavy now, hut it will grow
heavier and heavier the longer you
carry it.’
‘.Mr. Wardle. 1 do not compre
hend you.'
‘All, Clarence!’
‘I certainly do not.’
'Didn't 1 call at your house for
you this morning?’
Clarence nodded assent.
‘And didn't 1 sue and hear enough
to reveal to :r.c the burden that von
took with you when you left. You
must remember, my boy, that. I am
older Ilian you are, and that I have
been through the mill. You find
your burden heavy, and I've no
•loul.i that Sarah's heart is as heavy
as your own.’
And then Clarence Spencer iiii-
squnrcly in the face I found the
burden which Imd so galled me self
imposed. Of course such burdens,
you know can he thrown off. Now
you have resolved to go home to
dinner with a heavy heart and dark
face. You have no hopes that
your wife will meet von with a
smile. And why? license you know
that she has no particular cause for
smiling. You know that her heart
is burdened with allliclioii that
gives you so much unrest. And
you arc fully assured that you are
to find your home shrouded in
gloom; and furthermore, you don’t
know when that gloom will depart
and when the blessed sunshine of
love will hurst in again. And why
don’t you know? Rccansc it is
on herself. She saw him generous
and noble' and she worshipped
him. •
Rut Clarence would not allow
her to take the blame. He must
share that.
“Wc will share it. so evenly,”
said lie, ‘‘that its weight shall lie
felt no more. And "now, my dar
ling, we shall he happy?"
‘‘Always."
Mr. Wardle had no need, when
Clarence returned, to ask the re
sult. lie could now read it in the
young man’s brimming eyes and in
the joy-inspired face.

membered that Mr. Wardle had en
ter* d the house and caught a .sight
of the storm.
And Clarence Spcncc-r thought
of one thing more; lie thought how
miserable, unhappy lie had been all
tin; morning; and lie knew not how
long his burden of unhappiness was
to lie borne.
‘Honestly Clarence, isn’t it a
heavy and thankless burden?’
The book-keeper knew that his
employer Was Ids friend, and that
he was a true-hearted Christian
man, and idler a pause lie answer
ed:
‘Yes, Mr. Wardle, it is a heavy
burden.’
‘My boy, I'm going to tentiirc
upon a bit of fatherly counsel, I
hope I shall not ollend.’
‘Not at all,’said Clarence, lie
winced a little, as though Hie pro
bing give him new pain.
‘in the first place,’ pursued the
old mnn, with u quiver of emotion
in Ids voice, ‘you love your wile?’
‘Rove her? Yes passionately.’
‘And don’t you think she loves
you in return?’
‘I don’t think any tiling about it;
I know It.'
‘Von know she loves you?’

'Then you must admit that the
troulile this morning came from no
ill feeling at the heart.’
MM'course not.’
‘It was not a surface squall, for
which you at least arc very sorry.’

ty. The there will lie a collapse
ami reconciliation, Generally the
wife falls first beneath the galling
burden, because her love is keenest
and most sensitive. The husband,
in such a case, acts the part ofa
coward. AVlion he might, with n
breath, blow the cloud away, he
cringes and cowers until tho wife
is forced to let the beautiful sun-
liglitia through her breaking heart.’
Clarence listened and was trou
bled. lie saw the truth and felt its
weight lie was not a fool nor
was he a liar. During the silence
that followed he reflected upon the
past, and ho called to his mind
scenes just as Mr. Wardle had de
picted. And this brought him to
the remembrance of how he had
seen Ids wile weep when she had
failed and sank beneath the heavy
burden, how often she imd sobbed
upon his bosom in grief for the
error.
The merchant read the young
man’s thoughts, and after a time
lie rose and touched him on the
arm.
"Clarence, suppose you were to
pul on your hat and go home. Sup
pose you should think only
of the love and blessing that might
be; with this thought you should
enter your abode with a smile on
your face; anil von should put your
arms around her neck and kiss her
and solliy say to her, ‘My darling,
I have cirHie home to .throw down
the burden I took away with me
this morning; it is greater than I
can bear. Suppose you were to
do this, would your wife repulse
you?”
“Repulse me!”
“All, my boy, you echo my
| words with nu amazement which
shows that you understand me.
Now, sir, have you the courage to
try the experiment? Dare you to
be such a man? Or do you (ear

The merchants of Gridin desired
to know ol those of LaGrange
whether trade had been injured by
the prohibition of tbe liquor trafllo

felt interested took a paper around
town and asked an expression from
each dealer as to the effect upon
his business. Without exception,
they had testified that prohibition
had worked no harm, while many
bore witness to its benefits—some
saying their trade had increased
fifty per cent. When the efficient
jailer, John Willingham, who Is al

approached, lie abruptly declined
to “sign any such paper." He
finally relented so far as toiconsent
