lieve had said such very unkind things to
him only few hours before.
Now Harry Leeds was very proud of his
wife, and of the evident admiration which
her occasional advent at the store always
excited. He rose up to meet her, the sur
prise in his face half chasing the cloud there
from. She came close to him.
Harry" whispered the SOFT eager timid
voice, sim SO very sorry said those cross
things to you this morning; was greatly
to blame, and they've made me unhappy
ever since SO I've come clear down here
to make up. and hear you say once more

The cloud was all gone. There was
world of fond tenderness that looked down
from those dark eyes on the lady.
"Why, bless you, Adeline you haven't
come clear off here for that? was more
to blame than you, great deal. but some
business matters were troubling me, and
I'm touchy fellow, guess. any how"
"No, you're not felt all the time that
you were displeased with me. Bpt you do
love me Just as well as ever 20
That smile, that glance, would have sat
isfied any wife.
"She is jewel, any how" murmured
Harry Leeds to Himself, after she had left,
as he arranged his disordered desk, with
face as changed and bright as the sky out
side, for the sun had suddenly plunged
through the clouds. "If we have pretty
good sales this week, I'll just get her that
carpet for Christmas present, see if I

rHn SONG oF TIE SPADE.


Give me the spade and the man that CT n
use it;
A fig for your lord and his soft silken
hand;
Let the man who has strength never stoop
to abuse it,
Give il back to the giver-the land, boys,
the land.
There's no bank like the earth to deposit
your labor,
The more you deposit the more you shall
have;
If there's more than you want, you can give
to your neighbor,
And your name shall be dear to the true
aud the brave.
1t was not the sword that won our best
battle,
Created our commerce, and extended our
trade,
Gave food to our wives, our children, our
cattle,
But the queen of all weapons-the spade,
boys, the spade.
Give me the spade there's magic about
That turns the black soil into bright
shining gold;
What would our fathers have done, boys,
without it,
When the lands lay all bare, and the
north winds blew cold
When the tall forest stood, and the wild
beasts were yelling,
Where our stout-h hearted ancestors shrunk
back afraid;
The corn-stack is raised, and mankind claims
dwelling;
Then hurrah for orr true friend-the
spade, boys, the spade.
