Tho barrel of -four is gore also; but l sup

rest, in using it up
Mr.. Walcoit returned to his chair and
again seating himself leaned back bis head
and closed his eye as at first. How sad,
and weary, and hopeless he felt! The bur
dens of the day had seemed almost too
heavy for him; but he had borne up brave
ly. To gather strength for renewed
struggle with adverse circumstances, he had
come home. Alas that the process of ex-
haustion should still go on--that where
only strength could be looked for on earth,
no strength was given.
When the tea bell was iung, Mr.. Wal
colt made no movement TO obey the sum
mons.
Come to suppc.,' said his wife, coldly.
But he did not stir.
Are you not coming to supper! she
called TO him, as she was leaving the
room.
Il don't wish for anything this evening.
My head aches very much, ho answered.
In the dumps agair, muttered Mrs.
Walcott, to herself, dts as much as ones
life is worth to ask for money, or 10 say
anything is wanted And she kept on
her way to the dining room. When she
returned, her husband was still sitting
where she left him.
Shall bring you cup of teaF she
asked.
whats the matter Mr.. Walcott? What
do you look so troubled about, as if you
had IT friend in the world What have
! done TO your
There was no answer, for there was not
a shade of real sympathy in the voice that
made the queries, But rather of querulous
dissatisfaction. A few moments Mrs. Wal
colt stood behind her husband, but as he
did not seem inclined to answer questions,
she turned away from him, and resumed
the employment which had been Interrupt
ted by tho ringing of the tea bell.
The whole evening passed without the
occurrence of single incident that gave a
healthful pulsaton to the sick heart of Mr.
Walcolt. No thoughtful kindness was
manifested by any member of the family
but on the contrary, a narrow regard fol
self and a looking to him only for that h'
might supply the means of self'gra'ifica
ton.
No wonder, for the pressure which was
on him, that Mr.. Walcott felt utterly dis
couragcd. =.
He retired early, and sought to find tina
relief from mental disquictude in slcel
which he had vainly hoped for in the DO
som OF his family. But tho whole nigh
passed in broken slumber and disturbing
dreams. From the cherries morning
meal at which he was reminded of tn
quarters bill, that must be paid, of tn
Goals and flour that were out, and OF th
necessity of supplying Mrs. Walcotts emp
ty purse, he went forth to meet the diff
culiics of another day, faint at heart, al
most hopeless of success. a contidcn
spirit, sustained by home affections. woul'
have carried him through; but unsupport

for him, and he sunk under it. Tho da.

PROFANITY.
Of all the sins in the world, we do be-
love profanity is the mcancst A man
may cheat and make something out of it.
He may steal, and revcl in his i'l-got Ell
gans-ho may indulge in sensual gratili-
cation, and derive a momentary pleasure
from it. But what good any man ever
gained by swearing, we have yet TO learn.
1t is said by those who indulge in this vice,
that there are occasions when the English
language is not quite forciblc enough to
express the emotions which they feel, and
that round oath is n relief to an over
excited state of mind. We can't appre-
ciatc the truth of the assertion. But there
arc some men, who do not wait for this
state of excitement, but swear right on,
"out of whole CLOTH" and without provo
cation with more JUNCTION than they ever
breathcd prayer; we fear and seem to
think that they are doing handsome
thing. We have heard men swear more
"terribly" than Englands "army in Elan.

for certain other high moral questions

fondly within his, aud her loving eyes to
his face.

and he had no wish TO saddcn the hearts
