Poetry,
The Cobbler.

Wandering up and down one day,
Ipeeped in q window over the way,
And, putting his needle through and through
There sat a cObbler, making shoe. H,

- This is the way make shoe. @ts -
Over lasts of wood, his bits of leather
he stretches and fits, then sews together
He puts his 'wax-ends' through and through
And still, as he Stitches his body goes too.
Rat-a-tap, tap,
Tick-a-tack, too,
This is the way make shoe.
Now with his hammer he giveth a tap
To the shoe, so firmly fixed in his lap;
His head it goes up, and his head it goes down,
But on his face there rests never frown.
'Rat-a-tap, tap,
Tick-a-tack, toO
This is the way make SHOE.
With his little sharp awl he maketh d hole
Right through the upper and right through the
sole;
He puts in one peg, or he puts in two,
And chuckles and laughs as he hammers them
through.
haFa-taP, tap,
Tick-a-tack, too,
This is the way make shoe.'
Now with hammer, and now with the stitch,
This is the way the cobbler gets rich;
For the world he cares never the whisk of a
broom, }a- ftA ENti
But all he wants, is his elbow-room.

That is the way he maketh a shoe'

TELL YOUR WIFE.

d" Tell my wife, said Aaron Little,
speaking aloud, yet to himself in half
amused, half-troubled way. "Tell my
wife, indeed! Much good that will do !!
What does she know about business and
money matters, and the tricks of trade !.
No, no; there's no hope there
And Aaron Little sat musing with a
perplexel countcnance. lie held news
paper in his hand, and his eyes had just
been lingering over paragraph in which
the writer suggested to business men in
trouble the propricty of consulting their
wives
"Talk to them freely about your af-
fairs, it said. "Lct then understand ex-
actly your condition. Tell them your diff
ficultics, of your cmbarrassments, and your
plans of extricating yourselves from the
entanglcmcnts in which you are involved.
My word for it, you will get help in nine
cases out of ten. Women have quick per-
ceptions. They reach conclusions by a
nearer way than reasoning, and get at the
solution of a difficult question long before
your slow-moving thoughts bring you
near enough for accurate observation. Tell
your wives, then, men in trouble all about
Your affairs Keep nothing back. The
better they understand the matter, the
clearer will be their perceptions
''All a very fine theory said Aaron Lit
tie, tossing the newspaper from him, and
leaning back in his chair '.But 1t won't
do in my case. Tell Betsy. Yes, I'd like
TO see myself doing it A man must be
hard pushed indeed, when he goes home to
consult his wife on business affairs
And so Aaron Little dismissed the sub
iect. He was in considerable doubt and
perplexity of mind. Things had not gone
well with him for year past. Dull busi-
ness and bad debts had left his affairs in
rather an unpromising condition. lie
could not see his way clear for the future,
Taking trade as it had been for the past
six months, he could not imagine how,
with the resources at his command, his
maturing payments were to be made.
Il must get more capital" he said to
himself. g That is plain. And with more
capital must come in partner. l don
like partnerships. 1t is so difficult for two
men to work together harmoniously. Then
you may get entangled with rogue. Its
a risky business. But see no other way
out Of this trouble. My own capital is toe
light for the business am doing; and as a
measure of safety more must be brought
IN. Lawrence is anxious to join me, and
he says he can command ten thousand

We saw the lash OF the whip and the juice Of

Mr.. Hobson, as chief manager and cash
receiver in her husbands warehouse.
There was some few signs of rebellion
among the clerks and shop girls at the be-
ginning; but Mrs. Betsy had quick,
steady eye, and a self-reliant manner, that
caused her presence to be felt, and soon
made everything subservient to her will.
1t was remarkable sfaes, that at the close
of the first week of her administration Of
affairs the cash receipts were over thirty
pounds in excess of the receipts of any
week within the previous three months.
"Haye We done more business than
usual this week :" she asked of one clerk
and another; and the uniform answer was,
"No."
Then, said the lady to her herself
"there's been foul play here. No wonder
my husband was in trouble
ut the@ end of the next week the sales
came up to the same average, and at the
end of the third week were forty pounds
better than before Mrs Little undertook
to manage the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Whether
there had been foul play" or not, Aaron
Little could never fully determine; but he
was IN no doubt as to one thing, and that
was the easy condition of the money
market after the lapse of half year.
For four or FIVE months previous to Mrs.
I l.rf D.f,,,r =
on the street nearly half of his time during
business hours, engaged in the work of
money raising; now his regular receipts
were in advance of his payments, so that
his balance on the morning of each day
was usually in excess Of the notes to be
lifted. Of course he could give more time
to business, and Of course business increas-
ed and grew more profitable under the i'm
proved system. BY the end of the year, to
use his own words, he was call right"
Not so neighbor of his, who, to get more
capital, had taken Mr.. Lawrence as a part
ner. Instead of bringing in ten thousand
pounds, that capitalst-was only able to put
down three thousand; and before the end
of the year he had drawn out six or seven
thousand, and had given notes of the firm
for as much more in payment of old obliga-
tions. A failure of the house followed as an
inevitable result.
When the fact Of the failure, and the
cause which led to it, became known to
Mr.. Little, he remarked with a shrug:
81 am sorry for B; but he should
have told his wife,
"Of what . asked the person to whom
he addressed the remark.
"Of his want of more capital and inten-
ton to make partner of Mr.. Lawrence"
"W hat good would that have done?'
1t might have saved him from ruin as
it did me-.
You are mysterious, Little"
"Am |? Well in plain words, a year
ago l was hard up for money in my bust
ness, and thought of taking in Lawrence.

do it. And | didn't; for her Don't do
it, was followed by suggestions as to his
wife's extravaganza that opened my eyes a
little. told her, at the same time of my
cmbarrassments, and she set her bright
little head to work, and showed me the
way to work out of them. Before this |
always had poor opinion of woman's wit
in matters of business; but now l say to
every man in trouble Tell your wife !"'
