The Bankrupt Husband.
BY VIRGISIA F. TOWNSEND
'ItH have tr go, Mary ; there's no
help for it."
She'looKed HpltheT lady to whoiti
these words were, iddrensed--ib A way
which showed that thev bad struck and
hurt her. She was scol
llopiug j
ild't
kirt, and the needle work had followed
her rapid fingers along, the flanuel like
a line of snowy foam; but no tho work
fell, unheeded to the floor.
"Ah. John, . has it conte to that ?"
asked Mary, the wife of John Malcom ;
and the soft bloom in her cheeks van
ished away, and the words were spoken
with a kind of gasp, as though , just be
neath. them lay it . jnighty swell and
rush of feelings that well nigh over
powered her voice.
"Yes, Mary, it must come. God
knows I've struggled ashard. as roan
could to weather the storm, ami I couH
have done it too, if those Western houses
hadn't gone under. But they'll carry
us with it. . , r : ...
"I can't realize it yet, John," she said
lookintr at him in a half-frightened way,
that was pitiful to see; the shock, for
the moment, had half stunned her.
"0, Mary, it was the hardest for your
sake !" and the words came m that sharp
jrrdan which is terrible to hear from the
lins of a stronjr man. The tones roused
her Rt once into a full consciousness of
what had befallen them, and of the part
she must bear in it
"Don't John don't take it so hard,
her voice struggling up through a sob
into a note of brave cheerfulness, and
her lips fashioned a smile, which though
weak Rt nrst, you tell vertain would
grow stronger all the time, just as you
feel the sweet promise of the day when
the first faint Junbeam struggles weakly
out of the morning's mist.
"I could " have borne up Mary, if it
hadn't been for you and the children:
but that thought cuts the core :t's
more than I can bet.r."
And for the" first time the young wile
and mother heard a sob from the lips
of her husband, as he bowed down on
the arm of his chair. The pride of lift
manhood gave way at last, and John
Malcolm wept like a little child. Then
the woman's heart, the wouiau's power
to cheer, ami comfort, and strengthen,
roused themselves; the waves went over
her but one moment, and then Mary
Malcolia forgot herself.Hand rose up to
the height of her true womanhood to
the exaltation of self-saorifiee.
"John," said tbe soft, brave voice,
"don't ever say that again. Let every
thing else fail, the heart of your wife
never will."
And now she has come close to him,
and h felt her small arms about his
neck, and her head lay on his shoulder,
as tender, as confiding as in their days
of brightest prosperity. All through
the day he had been looking forward
to this hour, and shrinking away from
it and once or twice God forgive him!
he bad glanced out of his office, win
dow to the river, which rolled its dark,
sullen water in the distance, and a fierce
tempt ,tiou had rushed over him to drop
everything and hurry out there and
bury all his 'pain and anguish under
the dark, crumpled sheet of water. But,
John, in his secret distress, knew that
his temptation was the voice of tho devil
entering into his soul; he was a man
who feared God and kept his command
ments he put the temptation aside.
The young husband had not doubted
his wife's heart for a moment; but be
expected to see her almost stricken to
the earth, with the first tidings of the
ruin of (he house in which he was the
heaviest partner. He knew that her
youth had been nurtured in all the grace
and luxury that wealth confers, and he
feared the thought of going but into the
chill and darkness of poverty. He had
not looked for loud lamentations, or bit
ter reproaches, but he dreaded the si
lent tears, the mute despair of the white
face.
So John Malcolm raised his hot face
stained with the tears that were shed
for her sake, and looked into the eyes
of his wife; and she answered him with
smile that set even her face in a new
sacredness and beauty to her husband
a smile so swoet and tender to him,
so brave and defiant for the worst the
world could do for them, and it said to
him at once all that her words would,
and could not. ,
"Ah, Mary, my wife," said the mer
chant, "1 thought when Icame into my
house, an hour ago, that I was a ruined
man; I feel now as if I were a very rich
A ... .
one.
"Ruined, with me and the children,
John." and now there was some faint
,. , ..1.1 V
Ireproacnin ncr voice, ou. sue cuing
closer w mm.
"But, Mary poor child, you don't
know what it is to be poor, to give up
so much of grace and luxury, to which
you've leen accustomed."
. "You say that, John, before you've
tnea me, ami see wmi springs oi cour
age and powers of self sacrifice thrro
are in my nature." The noble words
had a fitting emphasis in the sweet
smile -in the steadfast, dauntless tones.
"But we shall hare to give up the
house, Mary."
: "Well, we can feel jut as happy to a
smaller one."1 - - i : f-x-
'Our love has had a broader foUnda-4
tion thau btattdy rooms ami costly fur
niture. W e ii take a cozy little cottage
somewhere in the country, and for throe
servants get along with one".i.i i:.. i
Hearing these words,. John Mttkolm
looked at his wife, hut he did not say
then what was in his heart a thanks
giving to God for the angel he had sent'
to walk w ith luni. tie Urok., uer -uauu
and held it close in hi- while he told
her of a temptation which had let
him before the failure of Lis house be

ing to which he could have saved him
self from failure. Hut it must have ieeo
by dishonest means, by . taking advan

tears were bright irt her blue eyes.- '
And afterwards there fell a little si
lence .betwixt those two, husbauj and.
Wife. It was broken by the latter.1 : She
looked up in the man's face, and her lit

dark hair that had no shocks of gray;
and her look, bright, gratefuLaud loving
touched him.

whose dreams at night are filled.; with
visions of battle-fields, where the one

the sodden grass, with no hand to offer
the last . cup of cold water, no ear to
catch the last, low. word., Ah,;JthB,

"Mary," said John Malcolm, "I never
thought of all this, never once thanked
God for it, through this day that has
been the darkest and the brightest of
my life for out of this thick cloud has
its blessed light shined."
. And nfter r while their talk went on
all the practical matters and uses which
so nearly concerned them-the retrench
ing their expenses, the selling ' of the
furniture at once, and setting them
selves in the cottage, as Mary called it,
always speaking the word ' with a .tone
which gave it a sweet flavor of home.
' "lean get a clerkship, and Jwe can

"They won t Know what thejrre say

"Dear John !" her hand fluttered

nothing more.

MEN AND MONKEYS.
In his twelfth and laat lecture on Brazil.
delivered in Boston, I rot. Agassi deroted
the eonclodtng portion of his remarks to the
subject of tha monkey tribe, ar.d a defense
ot the rro.esgors theory that the mffcrptit
races ot men osve tTifferem origins; This,
he aaid, wa an awkward auhjeat, and ore
wBtcn ne arraaea to aiscus though at was
relieved from some of the ttiibarrswrocot
which surrounded it while slavery existed,
when the assertion of tbe inferiority of the
negro wss legardetl aa a delessa of tne sya
tem of slavery. Tho disnussioo wa. also ou
pleasant, because it involved a dieeut from
the doctrine of cotnojoD rrigin wh ch the
Christian world has so lonz held sac red
Yet he fU bound to expreaa his eooviction
on this subiect. n hila reerardtnir the moo
key tribe as the highest of tbe quadrupedal
maoirualia, and ss next to Biau, neeouid not
sanction tha doctrtoe of final transformation
of monkeys into men, and was not inclined
to admit that ve are the dearendant of the
highest monkeys. In this connection tha
lecturer remarked io an interesting manner
upon tbe characteristics of the monkey, tbe
OurangOu'aog, the Chimpanzee, the gorilla
and the gibbon, making them aa families
distinct from, man, though in many points
caving aihauy, yet having dirtorenl parent.
Htet, Cousidenn? the regions from whence
these monkey trihea derived their origin, it
must ne eonciunea mat ti iney were aliiea
to any of the races of men, . it was to the
Mongolian and the negro, aud sot to tbe
White, but a critical examication of facta
would warrant the theory of transmutation
or the' doctrine that men have a common
origin. . The fact that tha progeny f a com
bination of individuals of. two races sever
resemble one or the otber pareut, warrant
the inference tbat the different races hear to
one another the same relation as different
species of animals bear to each other, and
it at all have a different origin. Perhaps,
indeed, different . nationalities , also have
d fferent origin. '
In conclusion, tbe lecturer said tbat unless
the fact of a common origin- eould be estab
lished historically, wa must accept the cou
elusion deduced from the investigating of
naturalists, ir we cocltl trace a plan of
variation and sueee-oion through all ages.
instead of reeardingdivenrity as tbe result of
Mtcciuent, we should see. tho evidence of
thinking mind in the whole creation, and
recognizi ourselves as the children of God,
and not as the children of monkeys. -

np stairs and brought down her nenal

for an hour, by the nice bold stroke
with which he could now shade ott .the

The next morning, as Cousin brace
was again seated hear the window, em- :

said: . !-. " -i -- -

Lizzie blushed again, lut did not

I am sorry to say that I have seen
this fault growing upon you, my dear

is a grievous one, and makea the person

, , 'But I have heard mother say it waa
not right to borrow,' said Lizzie, a little
suiieniv.
'And to it n not right to make a hab
it of borrowing. It is a very bad plan
for neighbors to be constantly borrowing
among each other: they should try to
have what is necessary, of their own,
and do 'without what they cannot get
for themselves. Bat that rule does not
apply to such. little acts of kindness and
courtesy. Christ gave this csmmand
as he did many others, to teach us to b

others, as much as for our own. I want
you to learn that text, Lizzie, and prom
ise me that you will try to act according

On that occasion, before hia colleagues and "

and frankly and fully. cotl s tbe sin of

done so, ho says he "raised, hi .ef to his

cause that would be "signinir aw jy their lib
