smiling. ‘I hope yen will never get too

The merchant withdrew, and the mon

cannot tempt me to place too many eggs

other with a face the cruel expression
of which caused a shudder to go thril
ling to his heart. A book lay open be
fore them, and he knew it to be the Book
of his Life, wherein were written every
purpose of hi3 heart, with every act and
deed. The money lender had come to
judgment.
With a hopeful conntenarce the an
gel began turning the leaves of the book,
upon which both her eyes, and that of
the demon, were fixed with an earnest
fTaze. Tlie period of childhood showed
a fair and hopeful record. The tender,
merciful, loving impression made upoti
the heart of her child by a wise and
good mother, who looked forwad to a
meeting with her son in heaven, were
everywhere visible. Tite budding soil
gave a fair promise for the fruit and flow
er.
Early manhood's record was also of
encouragement. There was an eager look
ing forward into life, and an earnest
will towards success. But, with this,
were generous pm poses towards others,
and great humanity schemes to be
wrought out for world’s good, when tlie
money to work should come within his
grasp. There was light and hope in
the whole work! aud lose his own soul;
or what will a man give iu exchange
for ids soul!’
It seemed like tl e voice of his moth
er, speaking back io him from the years
of childhood.
‘Goa! help nu-!’ he said, with a shud
der. ‘1 am not in the right path!’
Di<l he go back to his eager money
getting aud money lending? We know
not. The dream was sent in mercy,
and let us hope that it wrought upon
him its high and holy mission,

.Why, some—some some’n hooked all’er

Ab arose cursing and swearing, vowing
that he'd find some clue by which to identify
the villains, and then they might look out
for rough times. He went to tho patch—
what a sight presented itself ! Not a whole
the time he was buried, he had dug very .
much at random, and instead of homing
directly to the surface, he came out ia
the town of Ilcldne, six niih-s east of the
Penobscot river!

for bv those who were distressed aud
sorrowful over his supposed final resting

- \YTNG opened a shop in Cassville, for the '
too many eggs m one
basket, to day?’ lie asked himself, as he
sat alone during the evening that follow
ed, counting up, mentally, his gains,and
looking, "ilh a feeling of pleasure, at
tlie unsually large aggregate. 'Let ine
see? That las! note ot L <fc O s
catne verv near to a violation of the rule.
There are quite enough eggs in that bas
ket. I must not venture another one.—
But the temptation of two per cent was
hardly to be resisted on such paper
which all regarded as gilledged.’
It was now over five years since our
money lender withdrew from productive
trade, and narrowed down his intellect
and his efforts to the simple business of
buying paper, v. Itich the holders were
unable to get done in bank. During
that period he had added largely to bis
wealth; while his desire for accumulation
had grown stronger, and manifested it

the hook was turned; while the demon
‘at dark and sco ' ling.
The miJdle period showed less fairly,
as to the ends of life—and it was into
ihese that tho angel aud thu demon
looked most narrowly. The act was
never judged of as it stood alone—it
was by tlie motive that its quality was
de'enniued.
A genile sadness began to shadow
the angel’s beautiful countenance, while
dimlv seen in the demon’s face was the
light of triumph. Many acts of benev
olence; many words of good counsel to
others; many declarations of noble, gen
erous, tinselfi'h purposes were written
down; but they were seen as deeds with
selfish ends as their prompters,and words
that were only from the ‘teeth outwards.’
More and more, as wealth rolled into
the merchant’s coffers, and he gained a
higher and higher place in the good o-
piuions of men, did he bury his thoughts
i , 'elfish purposes, and put forth his
strength for himself alone, as if he were
the cliielest thing in God's creation. His
name was on subscription papers, for
charitable uses, to a large amount; but,
melons than anybody else, and giving them
away more freely than anybody else. They
were no object to him, yet he couhl not re
sist the temptation to steal from his neigh
bors, just for tho fun of the thing. But. as
some one has said, .It is a long lrne that
has no turn,’ and likewise, had Ab followed
up the practice oi stealing melons all his life,
he would have got to be a melon thief of
long standing. But such a state of things
was not destined to last always—>A change
came o'er the spirit of his dream ’ I recol
lect once, in melon season, some three or
four youngsters called at Aba house, and
after telling him of the .fine patch’that Dea
con Aikers had, proposed to visit it. Ab was
on hand without a moment’s hesitancy, and
so the company set out as soon ns it was fair
ly dark Before proceeding further, I may
say of Ab, iu the language of the poet, .He
loved whiskey.’ as we'1 as he did melons ;
and as the boys in whoso company he was,
had looked to the future and brought along
a bountiful supply of the .good critter,’ he
was soon enjoying himself hugely. Round
and round went the black bottle, and on and
on went the company. They soon got to be
verv merry—so much so that apparently
be coming up in his mind. At last he mut
tered to himself, .Can it all he a dream ? or
did I actually do it ?' Waiting a little lon
ger, he said, .No, by thunder it's no dream!
Them cussed hoys ’as been a playin’ off on
me. Blast their infernal whiskey, I wish
they had it all in their cussed in’ards, red
hot! Mind, I tell you. I'll be even with
em.if it takes me a hundred years Irom now,'
and then came an awful volley of curses,
such as never could appear in print. He
fairly blubbered right out with rage.
It was indeed true,—the boys had been
playing off ou him—for after getting him a
little .tight,’ they had brought him back to
his own melon patch ; and undir the impress
ion that it was Deacon Akier's, he had de
stroyed it. It is said that Ab Ashley was
never known to aesist in plandering of a
melon-patch after that eventful night. It
cured him.
I can’t Lear to Lave him left with ser

•Oh ! well, I can,’ she saiil, ami with it
radiant smile left her husband hard at
work, and flitted on.

‘Answer all his questions? make my
self a slave, as 1 should be obliged to?
Oh, no. can’t think of it. If I give him
his breakfast and plenty of playthings.
I consider nry duty done. I don’t be
lieve itt fussing over children—let them
find out things as they -grow, up.’
‘There's the danger,’ replied the dear
old lady, casting a pitying look at the
richly embroidered cloak her son's wife
had Lent over all day, ‘they find out
things that ruin them, unless the moth
er be constantly itnpnrliug the right
kind of knowledge.’
‘Oh, you want to make him a piece

Some years since, an eccentric old" men. See—now isu t the'contrast beau
genius, whom for convenience we will
call Barnes, was employed by a farmer
living in a town some six or seven miles
westerly from the Penobscot river to dig
a well. The soil and substratum being
mostly sand, old Barnes, after Laving
progressed downward about forty feet
found one morning upon going out lo
his work that the well had essentially
caved in and was full nearly to the top.
So having that desire which men have
of knowing what will be said of them
after they are dead, and no one being
yet astir, he concealed liiinself in a rank
growth of burdocks by the side of a
board fence near the mouth of the we!',
having left his hat anj frock upon the
windlass over the well. At length, break
first being read
to call him
fol ? Come here, Charley,. lovely, he
shall have the handsomest cloak in the
whole city.’
CHAPTER III.
‘A cigar ! bless me, what a boy, imd
only twelve ! Are you sure you saw Lint
sinoke it? Well, l dare say it made
him sick enough ; boys will be hoys.you
know,*
•Yes, but to think you should allow
him to go to the theatre without my
knowledge!’ and the husband groaned.
‘Dear me! why what a fret you are
| in : do let tho child see something uf the
