While Harry was rrn~pering in hush
ness. al went like rlork work al home:
The family expenditures wrie rarrfully
Ima.le-noi a fsrhing was wasied. noi
scrap was losl-lhe furniture was all neat
and useful rather Than nrnamenssl--ihe
table PLAN, frugal. but whalesnme and well
spread-li,lle wen either To the scamsiress
or iailor--no extravaganza in dress. no
cosIly company keeping. no useless waste
Of time in careless wishing. and yet The
whole neiglborhood praised Mary Hemp
hill. and loved her. she was kind wilhnul
dissipalion-and while few people lived
more comfortable, none lived more ccuno-
mically.
The results of such managcmcnira ran ne
YER disappoini the expectations to whirh
il looks. Even the angry frown ef mis-.
fortune is almost put al defiance. A van
Iage gronni is soon gained whieh The
s,orm seldom reaches. And The full re-
ward comes in the proper time TO crawn
the need Of lives thus spent.
The music of Hary's tools was in full
play on the morning that left the village
for distant residence. I, was mol ye
