MY LOST FLOWERS,
BY B..J. UAINES.
I'll never trust vfiiihuss friend,
With precious flowers again,
I never had a dream of love,
But give my bosom pain.
I never lovely a jingle flower,
\ Beneath' yoh Boft bine sky,
, Ere it reach its blossom-hood, |'| \
Was sure to droop and die.
I never saw a winsome face.
With melting lustrous-eyes; ??>
Or gathered roses for a wreatn,
But brought unpleasant sighs.
I never watched at dewy eve,
When twilight charms the hour,
But the sweetest dew drops fell,
Upon some distant flower.
I never dreamed of casket brighlj
With sparkling gems for me,
But in my waking hours I found.
ii Saine false one held the key.
I never had a potion sweet,
And sighed to drink it up, *
But I found some bitter dreg,
. Still mingled ip the ,cnp,v
OUT OF WORK.
'"It's no use, Maria, I h nve tried every
where."
'But you are not going to givo it up,
Peler?"
"Gjveup! How can I helivit? Within
four days I have been to every hook
.bin defy ul the'jbityUiud uet a bit of work
can I get."
"But have you t ied any tiling else?"
"What else can I Vry^'1 'n |
"Why, anything that you can do."
"Yes, I've tried other things. I have
heeu to more than a dozen of my friends,
nud offered to help i^em if they would
hire nie." O
"And what, did you mean to do for
them?" |i *
"I offered either to post their accounts,
make otii hills, or attend to the counter."
Mrs. Stan wood smiled us her husband
thus spoke. ? X
"What makes you smile?"*he nsked.
' To think that ymV slJftuld have im
agined that voii would fifiil work in such
u place. But how is Murk Leeds?"
'Tie is worse off than 1 am."
"How so?"
"He has nothing in his house to cat."
A shudder crept over his wife's frame
now.i?
"Why do you tremble, wife?"
? "Because when we shall have eaten our
breakfast to-morrow morniug, we shall
have nothing." _.
""^WnUr" cried" '^cier'Vjf?'nwoocl, hhlf

"All gone. I baked the Inst this after

; "You ate the lull's noon."
f "Then we must starve!" groaned the
stricken man, starting across the room.
Peter Stanwood was a book binder by
trade, and had now been out of ercploy
taentH ab?ht a mouth.' Ho was one of |
those who generally calculated to keep
about squaro with the world, and who
consider themselves particularly fortunate
if they keep out of debt. Ho was now
thirty years pf age, and had three chil-1
drcn to provide for, besides himself and
wife, and this jtogcthcr with houso rent,
was a heavy draught upon his purse.cvcn
when work was plenty, but now?there
was nothing.
"Maria," said he, stopping and gazing
his wife in tho face, "we must starve. I
have not a single penny in the world."
"But do not despair Beter. Try again
to-morrow for work. You may find
something to'do. Anything 'that is hon
est is honorable. Should'you make but
a shilling a day, we should not starve."
.. "But pur hftHfiQ/QflM i
"Trust to me for that. The landlord
shall hot turn us out. If you will engage
to find something to do, I will sec that we
have house room."
UV)\ make' ono more trial,', fojlttered
Peter, despairingly.
"But you muBt go prepared tp do any
thing."
"Anything reasonable, Maria."
.. ii ^W;hat do you call reasonable?"
" Why *?anything decent."
She felt inclined to smile, but the mat
ter was too serious for that, and a cloud
passed over her face. She knew hor
husband's disposition, and she felt sure
he would find no work. She knew that
he would look for some kind of work,
which would not lower him in the social
scale, as he had once or twice expressed
it, However, she knew it would he of
no use to say anything to him now, and
so she let tho matter pass.
On.the following morning, ;tho last bit
of foot) in the house was put on the table.
Stauwood could hardly realize'that he
was penniless and , without food. For
years he had been gay, thoughtless, and
fortunate, making the most of the present
forgetting the past, and letting the future
take care of itself. Yet the truth was
naked and clear; and when he left the
house, he said, "something must be
done." f.\
No sooner' had her husband gone, than
Mrs. Stan wood put on her bonnet'nud
shawl. Her oldest child was a girl eleven
years old, and her youngest four. She
asked her next door neighbor if she
would tnke care of her children until
noon. These children were known to be
good and quiet, ana they were taken
cheerfully. Then Mrs. Stauwood locked
up hor house and went away. She re
turned at noon bringing some dinner for
her children, and then she went away
again. She came home in the evening
before her husband, carr.j ing a heavy
basket upon her arm.
"Well, Peter," she asked, after her
husband had entered and sat down, 'what
luck?'
"Nothing! nothing!" he groaned. "I
made out to get a dinner with an old'
chum, but could not find work."
"And where have you looked to-day
"O?everywhere. I've been to hundred
pljtces,.but it's the same story in every
place.?It's nothing but one eternal no!
no! no!"I'm sick and tired pfit,"
"What have you offered to do?"
"Why, I even went so far a* to tend a
liquor store down town."
The wife smiled.
"Now what shall we do?" uttered Peter
spasmodically,
"Why, wc will eat oursnppcr first.nnd
tulk the matter over."
"Supper! Have you got any1?" *
"Yes?plenty of it.''
"But you told mc you had none."
"Neither had wo this morning, but
I've bean after work to day, and found
some."
f Jf'Ypu/ been after tvork?" uttered the
husband in surprise.
"Yes."
'But how?where?what?'
'Why;rat I'went to Mrs. Snow's. I
know her girl was sick and I hoped she
migh have work to be done. I went to
her and told her my story, and she set
me at work nt ence doing her washing.
She gave me food to bring home to my
children, and paid rac three shillings
when I got through.'
'What?you been washing for our
butcher's wife?' said Peter, looking very
much'' surprised.
'Of course I have, and have thereby
earned enough to keep us in food through
to-morrow, at atiy rate; so to-morrow you
'But how about the rent?'
'O, I have seen Mr. Simpson, told him
just how wo were situated, and offered
him my watch as a pledge for the pay
ment of our rent within two months.with
the interest on arearnges up to that date.
I told him Ldid the business because you
wero away hunting up work.'
'So he's got your gold watch?'
'No?ho Wouldn't take it. Ho said if
I ufould bocomo responsible for tho rent,
he would lot it rest.'
'Thou we've got a roof to cover us,and
food Tor to-morrow. But what next?
What a curso theso hard times are!'
'Dori'l despuir, Peter, for wrc shall not
starve I'vo got work enough engaged
to keep us alive.'
'Ah?what is that?'
'Why, Mr. Snow has engaged mc to
carry small packages, baskets, bundles,
and so forth, to his rich customers. He
has Ifffdltolglvo up quc of his horses."
'What do you mean, Maria?'

warmly, praised his faithful wife, and
then sent him oft1.with two baskets, one
to a Mrs. Smith's and the other to a Mis

all day, and, and when it came night he
had earned ninety seven scnts. It had
been a day of trials, but no one sneered
at him, and nil his acquaintances whom
he met greeted him the same as usual.

the most rcmarkablo marital c$i>prieiipes
of any man living. . Thirty-five years ago:
when apoorjclork, ho married . Susanna
Butler, iu Birmingham, England, but |
separated from her by mutual agreement
a, year aferward, and came to N,ew York,
Susauna marryiugshortly aftor one Sairl
uel Green. In 1843 he married Miss'
Cnralinc Barton, a young lady;of respec
table family in Brooklyn, who was not
a\*farc,of his; first marriage,! , Thpy.^had
in the,family au Irish servant named
Bridget Fallen, with whom,; as.iti after
ward, appeared, the Colonel, beesmo fa
vorably impressed. Meanwhile, wife No. 2
learned that wife. Ko. 1 was living, und
left her husband, whereupon ho applied
for an annulment of the marriage, which
.was granted, and since that tine the Colo
nel has supported hor. Subsequently a
report reached him that wife No. 1 was
dead, whereupon , he married Bridget
Fallen, Bridget, however, was not 'refined
enough to adorn his homo, and trouble
began to ai ise. Wife No, 2, inaflc an
attempt to open the decree adjudging her
marriage void, upon tho ground thai it
was obtained by fraud. A commission
was sent to Euglnnd in the courso of the
litigation, und wife No. 1 was found,
with a whole flock of little Greens about
her. Thereupon tho Colonel took meas
ures to annual his marriage to wife No. 8,
in which he has succeeded, although iie
has to support her and the children. Tho
(Colonel now finds himself supporting two
families, with two women on his bauds
who have borne him legitimate children
and yet wero not legitimate wives, and
the legitimate husbnu4 of a legitimate
wife who is another man's wife. It is
highly probable that tho wealthy New
York brewer isnow entirely satisfied with
the marrying business, aud will hereafter
devote himself simply to beer.
