about with haggard, hopeless face.
troubles never come in single file
In the midst of all this, one morning,
when baby lay painting on his pillows, the
house was filled with bailiffs. There was
a mortgage or something of the kind on the
furniture before we bought it, and they sold
us out.
Everything went-all the splendors of
the drawing-rooms, even the bed on which
we slept, the dishes from which we ate
They left us poor and desolate, and on the
little pallet in the back bedroom our boy
lay dying. | sat down, wrote to father and
did not let Tom know. Poor Tom, it made
my heart ache to look at him.
Baby died! The little painting bosom
grew still, the flushed cheek cold and
white.
Itook my bridal jewels, and leaving Tom
to watch by our blighted blossom, went
out and sold them for a mere pittance,
enough, however, to pay the embalmers and
to purchase tiny rosewood coffin.
The day after, at daylight, just as the
brazen dawn was breaking over the stihed
city, my old father arrived. Tom and
were sitting beside the little coffin, and
we heard his footsteps echoing through the
empty, desolate house. My poor husband
covered his face as he entered, but in the
old mans eyes, as they took in all our woe
and desolation, there was no shadow ofre-
proach.
He approached the tiny coffin and bent
over the waxen face it contained.
"Poor little fellow" he murmured.
feared it would be so but it can't be help
ed now! Come Tom; come Jennie-let's
go home now, children!'
We obeyed without word. And with
the little coffin, We ourneyed back to Wal
nut Hill.
"I've bought the old farm back for you
Tom," said my father, as he drove under
the blessed shade of the old trees, "And
think you'd better stick to it this time"
And Tom did. We are an old couple to-
day, Tom and /, toiling hand in hand down
the declining steps of life. For that little
grave beneath the walnut shadows, we have
living, blooming children, growing up like
olive plants around our hearth-stone. And
am sure that Tom, q hale and hearty old
farmer, is fully convinced that he follows
his true vocation.

The Printers Estate.

We find the following remarks, which IL
printers and publishers will agree in calling

to the attention of the reader. They will
apply to all localities in which newspapers
circulate
The printers dollars where are they 7
A dollar here and dollar there, scattered
over the numerous districts, all over the
country, miles and miles and miles apart :;
how shall they be gathered together The
paper-maker, the journeyman conpositor,
the building owner, the grocer, the tailor,
and all assistants to him in carrying on his
business have their demands, hardly ever
so small as a single dollar. But the mites
from here and there must be diligently
gathered and patiently boarded, or the
wherewith to discharge the liabilities will
never become sufficiently bulky. We ina
CINE the printer will have to get up On adj
dress to his widely scattered dollars some
hing like the following:
Dollars, halves, quarters, Dimes and all
manner of fractions into which you are divi-
ded, collect yourselves and come home.
You are wanted. Combinations of all
sorts of men that help to make the printer
proprietor gather in such force and de-
mand with such good reasons your appear
ance at this counter, that nothing short of
you will appease them. Collect yourselves,
for valuable as you are you will never pay
the cost of collecting. Come here in single

for him and vindicate his feeble credit.
