havnt a spark Of ambition about you. Sped
ing Of bees, why do they always tini a ready
market for their huney?'' sccrn to attempt
to gueSs. because they cell itas fast as they
manufacture it." Ilamph! You havn't hurt
! yourself have you, my darling, with that effort?
| wish you could have said as much for your
/ pork, and we wouldn't have been in this pickle.
! But now that you're really out Of the business
/ I'd advise you to do as other men OF respecta.
! bilty do; take up with nice, gen eel employ
mcht that will secure TO your family the posi-
ton they have right to expect. I've always
heard tell that some of the most influential Of
I our acquaintanceS which we made in our new
circle did business on Wall street. l don't
Z know Just what kind. The only objection |
have to it is that it seems to be some kind of a
market and I've horror of markets. You've
always been in the fish line or the pork trade,
and I'd like something entirely new. But it's
4 too late for you TO study law or the ministry,
and you havn't the head for it, neither, and as
/ for politics, the man that's so scrupulous as to
t give up the last dollar, as it were, to his credi-
tors would never succeed in them--never! So
if other people think bulls and bears are more
arstocratic than pigs and beef it isn't for us to
quarrel with em about it; they're fashionable
folks, and they know best. If we initiate them
wo'll be sure to be somewhere near right; and
II You wish to restore me to rood spirits, and
see me happy once more, you'll try and set up
little stock on Wall street. Dear, dear don't
see where they keep all them wild animals
I shall be mortal fraid to come and see you
when you get your Office full of such creatures.
I've been through that street several times, and
I never could see where they keep em. 1t
looks all nice and quiet, and | never even heard
em roar; and there's plenty Of gold and bank
bills in the windows, which shows how much
money they make; and issurpose the bulls and
bears are all kept in cages in the rear, aren't
| they? If should come to pay you visit, and
you should lock me up in your private office, as
you did once, hope there woulln't be any
bears in il; prefer pigs, Of The two.
What's that, Felicia? The men can't set the
mirrors into the parlor at all? Oh, dearI what
shall do! did hope to at least have the
comfort Of those mirrors. The books and pic
lures felt willing to see go, but those lovely
mirrors couldn't bear to part with. Every
time l stood before them theY seemed almos a
part Of myself; such elegant plate glass AM such
exquisite frames. What are we to do, Rasher!
the ceiling is too low by more than a foot.
"Told nc so.' Well, supposng you did tel
me so; that doesn't mend matters now thai
they're here and cant be stood up. YOU'D
suggest to have the ceiling rased." | would
could, mighty quick, Timothy Rasher; bu
the men cant bekapt waiting while you're ma
-, king sport OF me; ~, what can we do with
'em? "Ask them to reflect about it and decide
the question:" All me! suppose / shall have
to send them back to the maker, and order {
pair Of smaller ones in place Of them. It's one
disappointment after another, until Pm com.

What did YOU say, Bridget? "'The baskets
fell down the ary steps, and broke the chany al
to bits" Which basket was it, Bridget?"-
the one with the breakfast set in it that pack
cd nyseli-the Solerino and gold band with
the pictures in the center? Oh dear Flum-
merry told me himself that that set was per
ect slade over, as they say in France What's
that, husband? "SeveIed porcelains is all the
, style, and it's severed now il it never was be-
FORE" It's Saver, you smpeton, and not sew
cred; if couldn't speak French l would no
try to. Well, that's gone with the rest.
suppose we may eat off plain white teiore tn
years over, If we keep on as we'Ve begun. D.
| remember the half dozen blue fiowered plates
and cups ard saucers that We begun with! Nc
most decidedly, don't. Pm not troubled Will

oughter. "There's no making whis-" Rash
er! beg of you, don't finish. I'd rather set {
boy firing off crackers on the Fourth OF July
than TO get you quoting your iavorite sayings -
That night at Mrs. Nelson's sociable when w
got to playing "Proverbs," | trembled in M.
shoes, for knew beforehand exactly what wa

ciety, while was made for it; and that's th'
difference. It's my only consolation now, tina
lou are back where you belong, whatever be

cia is too much like you 10 feel her affection

n dear girl was made for an atmosphere Of refine

putting your arm behind you,and tearing aroun'
Just as you always do when you're mad, ior?-
, Cant bear to hear such nonsense" "Cerinth

willing to become as poor as Jobs turkey, il
r would give the girls chance to learn littl
