“You are serious this evening," said
Mrs. Landell to her husband. “I
hope nothing has gone wrong daring
the day ?”
Mr. Landell, who bad been sitting
with his eyes npon the floor, silent
and abstracted, for some minutes,
roused himself at these words, and
looking np at his wife, smiled, os be
answered: “Ob, no! Nothing has
gone wrong."
‘•Don’t you feel well ?" Ttie voice
of Mrs. Landell was just shaded with
concern.
"Well enough in body, but not so
comfortable in mind hh I desire.”
“Then something has gone wrong,”
said the wite.
Her manner was slightly troubled
"Nothing more than usual,” Mr.
Landell replied.
The forced smile bad faded from
bis countenance.
Mrs. LaDdeil sighed.
“Than usual?” she repeated his
words, looking with earnest inquiry
into her husband’s face. Then she
added, tenderly, “Bring home yonr
trouble, dear. Don’t bide anything.
Let me share with you all the good
and ill of life. Hearts draw nearer in
suffering than tLey do in joy."
“Bless your kind heart, Alice," said
Mr. Landell, a broad smile sweeping
over bis face, as he canght her round
cheeks in her hands and kissed her.
“There isn’t anything in the case so
serious ns ( that I'm not going
to fail in business—haven’t lost any
thing worth speaking about; haven’t
cheated anybody, and don’t inteud
doing 60. It’s only this hasty impul
sive temper of mine that is all the
while lending mu to do or say some'
thing that leaves a sting.”
The clouds passed from the fucs of
Mre. Landell.
“Yon will overcome that in time,
Edward,” she said encouragingly.
"I can't see that I make any pro
gress. Yesterday I spoke sharply to
oue of my young men, when a mild
reproof would have been more just
and of more salutary effect. He is
sensitive, and ray words hart bim sc
verely. The shadow that remained
on his face all day was my perpetunl
rebuke, and I felt it long after the
sun wont down. My punishment was
greater tbnu his. But the lesson of
yesterday did not snfiice. This morn-
ng I was again betrayed into captious
language, that wounded the same
young man, and tbre'W him so much
off bis guard, that he answered me
back with some feeling. Ttiis I re
garded as impertinence, and threat
ened to dismiss bim from my service
if he dared venture a repetition of the
language. When feeling subsided,
and thought became clear again, I
saw that I had been wrong, and done
wrong. And I have felt nobappy
ever Binoe. I wish that had more self-
control; that J could bridle my tongue
when feeling is suddenly spurred.
Bat temperament, and long-indulged
habits are both against me.’’
Mrs. Landell encouraged and sooth
ed her husband, and so won his mind
away from its brooding self-ie-
proacbes.
On the nest morning, ns Mr. Lan
ded was about leaving for his ware
house, bis wife looked up at him, uud
with a meaning smile, said:
“Don’t.”
There was just the slightest per*
., j n ceptible warniug in her tone.

And he went forth to meet the trials
of the day.
Almost the first thing that fell un
der the notice of Mr. Landell was nn
important letter, which, after writing,
he bad given to the clerk to copy and
post. Instoad of being where it
should have been, it lay upon bis
desk. Neglect like that he felt to be
unpardonable.
“John l”
He called sharply to a young man
at the further end of (be warehouse.
“Don’t!" It seemed like the voice
of bis wife in his ears. “Don’t forget
yourself."
This mental warning came just iu
season. The clerk came quickly to
ward him. By the time be reached
the desk of Mr. Landell the latter
was under self-control.
“Why was not this letter posted,
John ?” The tone was neither imper
ative nor captious, but kind, and the
question asked in a way that said
“Of course there is good a reason for
the omission.”
And so there was.
“I think, sir,” answered John, “that
there is a mistake, and I thought it
best not to pnt the letter in the post.”
"A mistake? How?”
And Mr. Landell opened the let
ter.
"It redds,” said the clerk, “300
cases of calicos.”
'•Ob, no—thirty cases," replied.Mr.
Landell. But ns he said thirty his
eyes rested on 300. “So it is. How
could -I have made such an error?
You were right, John, in not sending
the letter away.”
The clerk went back to bis place,
nnd the merchant said to himself,
“How glad I am that I was able to
control myself! If I had spoken to
that young man ns I felt, I would
have wronged nnd alienated him, and
made trouble for myself all day.”
Not long after this a caso of goods
fell through one of the hatchways,
crashing down upon the landing with
noise that caused Mr. Landell,
whose temperament was nervous, to
spring to bis feet. To blame some
oue was bis first impnlse.
“Whut careless fellow has done
this ?” was on bis tongue.
“Don’t!”
The inward monitor spoke in time.
Mr. Landell shut bis lips tightly and
kept silent until be could command
himself. He then calmly inquired
into the cause of the accident, and
found that special blame attached to
no one. ,Ooopening the case of goods
the damage was found to be triiliDg.
“Another conquest,” said Mr. Lan-
dell, as he went back to his desk,
‘Self-control is easy enough if the
trial be made in earnest.”
A dozen times that day was the
torch applied to Mr. Landell's quick
temper, and as often was ho in dan
ger of blazing out. But be had be
gun right, and he kept right nntil the
suu weut down.
And'theu he turned bis step home
ward, feeling more comfortable in
mind than be had felt for many weeks.
There was no shadow on his counte
nance when lie met his wife, but smil
ing good'humor.
“You Haul ‘Don’t!’ »h I letl you
this morning, and I dictu’t.”
“You arc a hero," suiJ Mrs. Lan
dell, laughing.
“Not much of a one. The conquest
watt easy enough when I drew the
sword iu earnest.”
“And you feel Itefter?”
“Oh. a thousand times. Wbat u
curse of one's life this qnick temper
is. I am aehauied of myBelf half a
dozen times h day on an average.
But I have made a good beginning)
and mean to keep on right until the
end.”
“Don’t," said Mrs. Landell to her
husband, ns she parted with bim at
the front door on the next morning.
“I won’t," was the hearty answer.
And be didn’t, as the pleasant
evening be spent with bis wife at its
close most clearly testified.
Reader, if yon are quiek tempered,
Don’t!
KEEPING ONE’S WORD.
From »n Exchange.
Clerks are often particular not to
overstep their own duties, or to do
work neglected by others. Bat the
man certain to succeed iu business is
is one who is ready to lend bis hand to
anything which is for the interest of
bis employer.
Mr. Wilder, the first President of
the American Tract Soceity, and
widely known for bis large benevo
lence in this country and in Europe,
was ODce u head clerk for a large firm
in Charlestown, Mass. He sold a cus
tomer a bale of Russian dock, to be
delivered ut one o'clocs. The firm
was out of dnok, and be went over to
Boston to buy it. No enrtman was
at band, and he eugaged a porter to
take it over in n wheelbarrow.
Retnrning soon after, be found the
porter on the bridge, sitting on the
wheelbarrow, half-dead with '-.eat.
It was half-past twelve and the duck
was promiseJ at one. Without hesi
tation, Mr. Wilder, in spite of heat
v and dust, started with the wbeelbar-
? *ow? ~
A wealthy merchant on horseback
met him uud said, with a smile,
“Turned trackman, Wilder?”
“Tuese goods are due at 1 o'clock,”
said Wilder, “and my portor has
given out, so I must deliver them my-
self to keep wy word.”
"Good, good,” said the gentleman,
and went direotly to Mr. Wilder’s
employer to tell wbat be had seen
and to add; “Tell Wilder when he
wishes to go into business for him
self, my name is at his service for
thirty thousand dollars.”
No work is too menial if it is neces
sary to keep an engagement.
BUI NIB LEARNING TO WALTZ.
HE REMEMBERED.
“And you pretend to say,” remarked
a lawyer to a witness, "that you re
member the exact words this man
said to you ten years ago?"
I do.”
Well, if mo memory serves me, I
met you at Saratoga about .five years
ago, and I should like to kuow if you
can swear to any expression which I
then made.”
“I can.”
“Now, Mr. J., I want yon to re>
member that you are under oath.—
Now tell me what I said to you atSar-
atoga five years ago.”
“You met me in the hotel corridor.”
"Yes, quite correct. ”■
“And yon shook hands with ine.”
“Naturally I did."
“Aud yon said to me, “Let’s go and
take something."
Tuo lawyer confessed that the wit
ness had u remarkable memory.
"Gentleman,” said an auctioneer,
with true pathos; “if my fattier and
mother stood where you stand, »nd
did not buy this stew-pan, this ele
gant Htew-pan, going ut one dollar, I
should feel it my duty as a son to tell
both of them they were false to their
couutry aud false to themselves.”
The morn was cold, the kindling
wood was green, the girl brought
forth the can of kerosene; released
from earthly care ‘and toil, 6he fools
no more with non-explosive oil.
My wife tROgbt me bow to waltz.—
She wonld teach me on Saturdays and
repair skirts the following week. I
told her once that I thought I was too
brainy to dance. She said she hadn't
noticed that, but she thought I seem
ed to rno too mnob to legs. My wife
is not timid about telling me anything
that will be for my good. When I
make a mistake she is perfectly frank
with me nnd comes to me and tells
me about it so that I wonld not do it
again.
A friend of mine says that I have a
pronounced and distinctly original
mauner of waltzing, and that he never
saw anybody, with one exception, who
wultzed as I did, and that was the
late Jumbo. I could waltz more easily
if the rules did nut require such a
constant change of position. I am
sedentary in my nature, slow to move
about so that it takes a lady of great
streugtb of purpose to pull ine around
on time. I bad a partner once who -
said I was very easy to waltz with.
She moved about with wonderful ease
and poetio motion that made my legs
stand out ut au angle of 45 degrees
when we turned the corner. She
told me to trust her implicitly uud she
would see that I got around on time.
My feet only touohed the floor three
times during the dance and one arm
has been longer than the other ever
sinco that time. Most of the other
dancers left the floor aud watched ua
with great interest Finally I asked
her if she didn’t want to sit dowfaud
fan herself till I.oould get her a glass
of water. She said no, site didn’t
feel fatigued at all, and then she pro
ceeded to whirl me nruuod some
more. It uukes me shudder to think
about it Every time the old bass
viol would "zzzt, zzzt, zzzt," she
would buruueh my shoulder bladeB
together and swing me around like a
wet rag.
I then asked her if she wonld not
be kind enough to take me home to
my parents. I looked her in the eye
and begged her to remember her
father. He too was a man. “Ah,” said
I, “do not take advantage of yonr
great strength. Perhaps yoa have a
brother. How be wonld like to have
him fall in the bands of a strong wo
man and be kipnapped so that yon
would never see bis dear face again ?”
She then relented and led me to a
seat. I told her that my friend, who
bad introduced us, had not pronoun
ced her name distinctly. Might I ask
her once more, so that we could some
dny danoe again ? She smiled joy
ously and gave me a large, stiff, thick,
bine card and left the room. It rend
as follows:

“Now, darling, will you grant me
one favor before I, go?” “Yes,
(reurge, I will,” she sunt, drooping
tier eyelashes and getting her lips in
shape. “V.’liat is the favor I can
grant you ?” “Only a little song at
the piano, love. I am afraid there is
a dog outside waiting Tor me, uud I
want to scare bim away.”
