| That evening, of the usual hour, the three
men returned TO Bell Air, Fields testing on
the way, for his heart was light, the others
dull and weary for they were exhausted by
their days work, and had no bright home
thoughts to cheer them. At length Yates
parted with his companions, and sauntered
slowly homeward, knowing that, however
late he might be, he always was too soon.
AT last he reached his home, but stood still
in astonislment at the scene before him, al
most doubling whether he had not entered
the wrong door. The room was swept and
busted, and everything was put in its place
the supper was ready and the children neat
But the next moment his vile entered,
and then he knew his home again, for her
own dress was a matter that, amid all her
relormations, she had quite overlooked
But those she had effected, Sufiiccd for the
time, for, pleased with the unwontcd COM
fort, her husband remained contented at
home.
\ proud and happy woman that night was
Mrs. Yates. She looked upon the victory
as already gained, and great was her disap-
pontment when, on the following evening,
Yates went to the public house. The next
morning she took her way TO Mrs. Field 5
cottage, to communicate 10 her the hopes
and fears Of the last two days.
"Tou must not be down hearted" said
Carrie, "only go on in the way you have be-
gun, and before long your husband will sit
at home Of an evening as happy and con-
tentented as mine does
do you really think so?" said Mrs.
Yates, wiping away the tears.
ITO be sure | do" said Carrie galv;
land now I'll tell you what I'll do-I'll
lend you a book, read little of it to Mr..
Yates Of an evening, and when it is ended
you shall have another"
Thank you''-and Mrs. Yates, full Of
hope, departed. Carrie looked after her q
moment, and then calling her back, ex-
cIaimed
"Whatcvcr you DO, Mrs. Yates, don

Mrs. Yates took both pieces of advice
she put on the clean gown, and she read the
book, and they both answered cxcelently
Carrie had proved true prophet, and al
the end Of the year or two both seemed re,
formed, and were as happy and peaceful il
their little cottage as any couple in Be-
Air.
Meanwhile months came and went, anC
brought 10 spell upon their wings for Jones
happiness. One evening there had beer
the usual display OF great anger for littl'
sins, when Jones, weary of the share tha
fell upon himself, pushed back his chair
and rising, turned to leave the house.
"And now," observed Mrs. Jones, drilv
