Five hundred and sixty-fvc dollars for
advertising, Joe. That's what done the
business
Joe Was astonished. 1t was quite as
much as he pail for fine things for lis
house, and for parties, and the opera, but
the investment had been vastly more profit
able. inasmuch as taken in connection with
his careful management Of his business
and his economical manner of living. it had

1t had given him a good start in his bus
mess, and good beginning is hall the

Joe Weston failed, and paid only % cents

and he was obliged 70 board out. But in
his extremity Ben was his true friend
He received him into his house, and when
his business was settled up, he took him

Picture Of a Good Hfye.-Will our young
men who are pleased to think of good wife
as an elegant plaything, intended only to
dress and dance, visit and spend money, please
to look at the following picture of a good
wife, drawn by the pencil of Solomon
Prov. XXI.
Verse 10 Behold a virtuous woman, for
her price is above rubies.
IL She riseth with day and prepareth breek-
fast for her household; yea, before the sun
hs risen she hath her maidens at work.
Is She seek tn wool and flax, and layeth
her hand, 10 the spindle, whil,. her right hand
m..rrly turnelh the wheel.
IA She looketh well To the way of her
family, and eateth not the bread Of idleness
10 BY her industry her checks are made
rubby like the rose of Sharon: yea. her nerves
strengthened, So that when she heareth
talk of histories marvelleth thereat.
II Her house is the habitation of neatness,
so that the heart Of her husband is refreshed
when he enters into her chamber.
Is. She maketh fine linen and selletb it.
and delivereth mntch cloth to the merchants
49, Her husband is known in the gates by
the tineness of his aparell, for she makerh
cloth of silk and purple.
20. Her children rise up and call her
blessed, her husband also, and he praiseth her.
