Honest John Crust could have boruc
his own losses well enough, if bc had
had no one else to think Of but him.
self Time was, when he had only bread
and cheese and on bread and cheese he
could live again but there we're others TO
think Of too. Ah the "others"- these
are what make liie's trials and losses often
so hard to bear. To see them want-to see
them pinched--this soon doubles trials and
losses.
And the weight Of il proved 100 much
for honest John---tbe trouble struck him
with a deadly chill, and he did not survive
long.
Amos tended The miller, along with Mary,
during bis short Illness and as the time
drew near when il was plain that the good
man could not last long, he gave them both
his last directions.

Amos took the money with much graft.
tude and in truth intended to do no end of
things with it, but day after day slpped
by, and while he intended to do great
deal, he really did nothing.
And every day he found it harder and
harder to begin. He had no immediate
necessity, for his money supplied him with
all he required, and always thinking that
this thing and that thing were not good
enough, he allowed month after month TO
pass.
One grand chance Amos let slip. The
Hollington carrier, who had succeeded his
father, offered to give him a share of the
business if he would put ESQ in it and un.
dertake to drive one of the teams himself,
but Amos was above taking to the read,
aud so that chance passed by'
Nov" said Amos, as he sat dreamily
by the roadside one day, as the Guiliord
and London coach drove by with team of
four splendid grays, IF could got n
share in turnout like that shouldn't
mind driving it,"
