CHAPTER II.

Business prospered with the young men.
BY prudent and careful management, each
had not only made living but had been
able to pay a small portion of the mort
gage on the stock at the end OF tho first
year.
Joseph had the advantage of his friend
in possessing better location, and though
his rent was somewhat higher, the differ
ence was more than compensated by the in
creased facilities it afforded him. If his
business increased as it had done, he would
be enabled TO clear himself of debt in anoth-
er year.
Under this encouraging aspect he ven
tured to expend hundred dollars in addi-
ton to his furniture, which his wife insisted
as necessary to their comfort and happi-
ness. The house was furnished altogether
too plain for this progressive age in her es-
timation. She was behind some of her
friends, who she waslsure wasdoing no bet
ter than her husband.
Joseph was little obstinate at first; but
then there was something so decidedly COM
Portable in set of new chairs and lounge,
that he did not hold out in his opposition.
He was doing we'll and the expenditure
would not seriously enbarrass him.
With nice new brussels carpet and the
new furniture, Mrs. Weston's little parlor
looked exceedingly pleasant and comforta-

CHAPTER III.

Another year has passed away in the bus
iness experience of the young merchants.
The books had been balanced, and the re-
suit stood in black and white before them.
Ben had followed up the system Of adver-
tising through the year. He had expen-
ded large sums, but had made the outlay
with Judgment and discretion.
The result exceeded his most sanguine
expectations. His store was crowded with
customers, and with but small portion Of
gadders and fancy shoppers. The newspa-
city and country full description of his
stock. His name was as familiar as "house-
hold words" in the dwelling of the rich
and poor, of the farmer, the mechanic and
laborer.
Truly, the harvest was abundant, and
Ben rubbed his hands with delight as he
cast his eyes over the figures which convey
ed the pleasing result Of his year'e opera
tions. He had the means not only of clear
ing himself of debt, but also to gratifying
his wife by giving her all the new furniture
she required, besides handsome surplus
with which to increase his business.
The new furniture was bought and set up
every debt was discharged, and the import
ers and jobbers were eager to give him un-
limited credit.
One day while he was Eliminating upon
this pleasant state of things, Joe Weston
entered the store. For some months past
the intercourse had not been as cordial as
formerly. Joe's nice things was setting him
up; some of the upper tens had condescen-
ded to visit him, and he entered the al
mack parties of the town with his wife.
He was getting ahead in his own esti-
nation and cherished supreme contempt
for the slow motions of his friend. But
when in the middle of the year he found
himself running down hill, and discovered
that Ben's store was crowded with shoppers,
while his own was empty, feeling of en-
Wy took possession of him. Ben must be
underselling, he concluded, and sooner OF
later tho consequences must appear.
The prosperous merchant could not but
notice the sad detected mein of his friend
as he entered the store.
"How arc you, Joei You are almost a
stranger, lately, Where do you keep your
self2" said Ben. 4a (,

demurly. a ~

BILE. Besides it locked as though her hus-
band was prospering in his business.
1t was SO very nice that the young wife
could not bear the idea of having the par
lor shut up so that no one could see il till
the furniture had grown rusty; consequent
ly she made up her mind that they must
have party.
Their friends had parties; why should
not they9 1t looked stingy not 70 have
one. Mrs. Weston was an eloquent deba-
ter and gained the day in this matter. 1t
is true that the party was not very extrav-
agant affair; but it cost Joo some fifty dol
lars.
In the meantime Benjamin had spent as
much for advertising as his friend had paid
for the new furniture and the party. Jo-
seph laughed at him and finally came to
the conclusing that he was insane, and would
come to ruin
Mrs. BENJAMIN Weston, too, felt decided
| ly unpleasant about the improvements
which had been going on in her sisters
house.
"Why can't we have rosewood table and
set Of stuffed chairs, Benjamin" 2" asked
she, pouting her pretty lips to very unen
viable position.
"Simply my dear, because 1 cannot affort
it" replied tho philosophical merchant.
"How can Joe afford it?"

THE HELPNIEET.

by META v. VICTOR,
Upon Western prairie stood
A settlers cabin, low aud rude;
Home from the fields Its owner came,
A youth of broad and sinewy frame.
The axe upon his shoulder thrown,
In the red light of sunset shone;
His cheek was brown, his eye was keen,
And health and strength were in his mlen.
He reached his cabin door-And sighedi
His rifle on the wall he spied,
His couch Of deer-skins-sudden gloom
Filled all the bare, unfurnished room.
He turned away, and at the door
Sat, looking the ldlandscape Ger;
bright lake in the distance spread
It's svery splendor, tinged with red,-
million blossoms on his sight
We're trippling In the roseate light,
Fringing the prairie's southern side,
The green woods murmured like a tide.
Thence, as he sat with sombre face,
He saw advance with bashful grace, ass
i A maiden from the woods deep bowers, .
Hor light feet rustling through the flowers.
Wild violets blue and daises fair
Clustered profusoly In her hair;
Pure were her modest look and guise,
Aud soft the lustre Of her eyes.
Lightly she came from out the wood,
And by the downcast laborer stood
"Your life Is rough, your cabin bare
May not halfyour burdens sharef"
His pulses bounded joytullyI-
'And can'st thou mate with one like me:
And can'st thou share home like this,"
Her smile confirmed his sudden bliss.
He led her through his cabin door
The shadows aed from of the floor,
TbsrAfters rude, the heArth-stOne cold,
Received sudden tinge ofgold.
Ere long the magic spread without,
Circling the homestead all abouti
Its logs with roses oYerblown,
The hut into bower had grown. -,a
Green curtains at the windows hung,
Where purple morning-glories swung,
AroyAl fringe; and just below
Carnations blossomed sweet and slow.
Loving the shadows OF the leaves,
Birds sang around the vine-decked caves,
with panzies were the paths sct around,
Which by the spring and garden wound.
Now when the youth at close ofday,
Turns wearied fro m his toll away,
His face with expectation bright
! CLOVIS, as his cabin comes in sight.
For Beauty waits to give him ease, .fr
Hisweariod eyesand heart to please;
And Labor knows no task too great,
Since Beauty is his willing mate.
