Mr. Petterkin is very we'll 10 do, OF
rather was. He has 4 nice business,
which yields him q handsome income.
and be owns the house he lives IN, and
has very pleasant surroundings indeed.
Mrs. Petterkin is an excellent lady, her
only fault beisg disposition to emulate
H1sop's freq, in social way, and of max
ng a rather heavier spread than one of
her means ought to. She is passionately
fond of society, and her efforts to get
within the charmed circle, and stay there,
have been simply herculean. And to the
credit of the lady's perseverance and
skill, be it said, she has succeeded very
veil.
Some months ago Mr.. Petterkin strayed
into Wall street, and made little ven
lure in stocks. Unfortunately he won,
snd won very considerable sum. We
say unfortunately, for momentous results
little expected by Mr.. Petterkin then
grew out of it. 1t is Curious how men
re continuously doing things that other
things grow out of, and which are little
expected. Fate is a perpetual surprise.
Feeling good over his luck, and loving
Mrs. Petterkin with devotion that thirty
years of married life had not entirely
worn out, he devised u pleasant surprise
for her. He laid in her lap the delight
5al sum of $4,000, which was exactly
the half of bis profits, with the remark:
"Lavina, have made exactly $4,000
to-day, outside my business. Your soul
has hungered and thirsted for an outfit of
diamonds. This money will buy them.
Go and get them and be happy"
Mrs. Petterkin was loving wife. De-
lighted ut this manifestation of love on
the part of her husband, she kissed aud
embraced him, as a proper wife should,
and ended by shedding tears, which she
assured him were of joy, and not of woe.
But the next morning after Mr.. Peter
kin had left his home, Ms. p. sat and
p0ndered. The ways of women are mys-
FERROUS, and there were many things
which Mrs. p. did not know. Notably
that to make her way in society and to
keep up the appearance that was neces
sary for lady in her position, she had
run in debt for clothes and articles Of
taste and luxury to the amount Of just
$4,000, all of which she had kept from
the knowledge of Mr.. p, being afraid
Of that gentlemau's temper, which was
tOuchy when it came to matters tinan-
sial, especially as one Of his rules was
never to run into debt. Her milliners
and dressmakcrs had become importunate,
and that very morning she had deter
mined to make clean breas, of it to Mr..
p. and take the consequences.
Better would it have been for that
Vretcbed woman had she done So Blu,
HE enemy of mankind is always on hand
10 make suggestions which are wicked
and he put one into Mrs. P.'s mind. Why
not take this money aud pay off credit
srss Bat then Petterkin would want t.
Zee the jewels. The Devil at her cal
whispered: "why not buy the diamond:
- creditf" She jumped at this method
sf a reprieve, and went and did H. Tn.
