'sDon't you think you've been little too fast
Charlie?' he then said, obviously.
ssHow do you mean p inquired.
"Why, in giving up so. Suppose, when Nelly
said she couldn't have you, you had put your arm
round her waist, and said she must!'
This view had never struck me, and rather took
me back.
'But there was her promise to you and hel
mother never to marry pitman," l urged.
$50 there was. But did you never hear thai
promises were made to be broken?"
IT can't say but have muttered, clapping

first thing saw was Nelly, sitting by her mother
and looking like ghost ghosts never look
pretty. She gave me one look, then started up
and sprang into my arms. My heart was so full
couldn't speak at first, but thought NIT dc
something, so slipped my arm around her waist
as Jack recommended Now felt sure Of her,
and of all the happiness that the world could give
and as my breast swelled proudly, I began to beal
a little malice.
"Ah, Nelly, if you had only loved me !" I said.
Nelly tightened her arm around my neck.
"How happy we might have been!" contin.
ued
'Then we can be, Charley" she murmured
'Then, Nelly! Wecannevermarry, you know. y
The little fingers unlocked, and felt Nelly fal.
ling away but remembered Jacks counsel, and
held her by the waist.
There your promise to your motherand Jack,
I continued, show are we to get over thatT'

"And what do you say to it, mother - I cried te
the old lady.
Mrs. Glover got up, and took Nely's hand and
put it in>mine.
'That's what I say to il" she said heartily
and I know Jack is of the same mind
"And this is what say to it" I cried, giving
Nelly a kiss.
You won't be surprised to hear that we were
married the next week. And now I am the view
er of the coiery and as for Nelly, she will tell you
that, though she has married pitman, and has hel
roughs and smooths like other women, there is nc
happier woman in the kingdom.

CUT THIS OUT.

The Mercantile Times gives the following sea-
so1able rules for young men commencing business:
The world estimates men by their success In LITE
and, by general consent, success is evidence OF
superiority.
Never, under any circumstances, assume re-
sponsibility you can avoid consistently with your
duty to yourselves and others.
Base all your actions upon principle Of right
your integrity Of character, and in doing
this, never reckon the cost.
Remember that selfinterest is more likely to
warp your judgment than all other circumstances
combined therefore, lookwen to your duty, when
your interest is concerned.
Never make money at the expense Of your rep
utation.
Be neither lavish nor niggardly; of the two, a.
void the latter. A mean man is universally des-
pissed, but public favor is stepping stone to pre-
ferment- therefore generous feelings should be
cultivated.
Say but lttle-think much-and do more,
Let your expenses be such as to leave balance
in yonr pocket. Ready money is friend in need.
Keep clear of the law for even if you gain your
case, you are generally loser of money.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
Wine drinking and cigar -smokingar are bad habits.
They impair the mind and pocket, and lead to a
waste of time

pine-tree wool is now spun and woven into . hind
of flannel, which is largely used as blankets in hos
pitals, barracks and prisons, in that city and in
Vienna, with manifest advantage, pine-wool drives
away all dsagreeable and noxious insects from the
localities in which it is used. 1t can be used as
stuing for chairs sofas, and mattresses in themme
way as horse hair; and some qualities are woven
into kind of cloth of which garments of many

strange mirth at her own misery, she told it once
