But l tell you it's all right" said the
boy, "for It's paid.''
"Well if it's paid for, I'll take it in; but
I'm sure you'll have to come and fetch it
back again, replied Sally.
"Oh, it'll be all right" said the boy, as
he went away.
"My word !" said Tommy, "isn't it a
whopper?" And the little fellow fairly
danced around the room for joy. While
he was cutting his capers in this manner,
another knock was heard at the door.
"Here he comes," said Tommy. "Shall
bring the leg of mutton ?"
But on opening the door bakers boy
presented himself with three large loaves.
"Does Mr.. Lewis live herep" asked the
boy.
"Well," replied Sally, thinking it
strange, "my fathers called Jack Lewis,
if that's him P'
CAN right here's the loaves for him."
care they paid for ?" asked Sally.
eyes," said the boy. "Come make
haste.''
"Well, I'll take 'em in, seeing as how
they are paid for, but we never have
such big loaves as them come to our house,
and you'll have to fetch 'em back again
there's some mistake, I'm sure.'
"There, that's all fudger' said the boy
and off he went.
"My word amt them busters?" said
Tommy; "see, sister, they're quite new.
Only fancy if these were ours, wouldn't we
make hole in 'em p
Again he started off with dance and
shout, in the midst of which another rap at
the door was heard.
"Here they are" Tommy said, I'll bring
em to the door.
But upon opening the door, there was
lad with parcels of tea, sugar, coffee etc.
| Again the question was asked. But Sally
| by this time had decided to take in all that
was paid for, telling each one "they mustn't
be surprised If they had to fetch 'em back
again"
The green grocer sent potatoes and cab
bages; the butter-man, eggs, bacon, and
| butter; and few articles from other shops
arrived, until the table was full.
In short time John found he could buy
clothes for his children, and for himself and
his wife. Then it began to be whispered
that he was getting proud, for he had mov-
ed into better house, where he had only
to pay little more rent. Soon after he
begun to put his savings in the Building
Society, and this enabled him to build
house for himself. The manager finding
him more than ever attentive to his work
appointed him as foreman, at an advanced
rate of wages. John began to say that che
found it vastly more pleasant to receive GO
los week for looking after men to do the
work than 3Os for doing it,"
Step by step he rose, until he became
master himself; and instead of working he
could afford to pay others to look after it
and do it for him. He sent his son Tommy
to first class school; and in due time he
was apprenticed to doctor, and is now
practicing as a physician with good con-
nection. The rest of the children have
been we'll educated. He himself has built
nice row of houses, from which he re-
ceives sufficient to keep him without work
the remainder of his days. Now, in a
handsome "Villa," which he has lately
had built, and fitted up with everything
to make it comfortable, he may often be
seen seated in an easy chair, viewing with
evident satisfaction and pleasure, through
the drawing-room window, a cherry tree,
which he planted with his own hands, and
on which he for some time past has been
able to grow his own cherries" 1t was
pleasant sight when, added to all this, he
and his wife became hearty supporters of
the Grand Alliance and the Temperance
cause; and, by the blessing Of God, consis-
tant members of the Christian church.
Workingmen the moral is soon told: 1t

but but tohat goa do sOitA IL when you get it!

carpets, sofas, clothes, books, boots and
shoes, etc., are lost by your spending the
money in the wrong way and in the wrong
shop. tusb or f...f,.i,, g.
