^tOK. AMISS LANNING was n
jJ y mechanic, a young, honest
O I o until, whose highest anthill
/ Jt tion was to gain p com
lonauie Jiomc lor uiinselt
and wife, and to be
thought well of by bis neighbors. He
had built himself a house, and there
still remained upon it a mortgage of
$500; but this sum ho hoped to pay in
a few years, if lie only had his health,
lie had calculated exactly how long
it would take him to cienr olT this incumbrance,
and he went to work with
his eyes open.
One evening James en me home to bis
supper more thoughtful tlum usual.
His young wife noticed liis manner,
und she inquired its cause.
"What is it, James'/" ulie kindly
asked. "Why, 1 never saw you look so
sober before."
"Well, I'll tell you, Hannah," "returned
the young man, with a slight
hesitation in his manner. "I have just
been thinking that 1 would buy a lottery
ticket."
Hannah Lanning did *:ot answer immediately.
She looked down and
smoothed the silken hnir of her babe,
which was chirping like a little robin
in her arms, and the shades of her
handsome features showed that she
was taking time to think.
"How much will it cost?" she asked,
nt length, looking half timidly up. in to
Lor husband's face.
"Twenty dollars," returned .?.tines, |
Trying to assume :i confidence which
lie did not foci.
"Ami have you made up your mind
to buy It?"
"Well. I think I shall. Wbat do you
think about It?"
"If you should ask my advice, I
should say do not buy it."
"But why so?"
"For many reasons," returned, his
.wife, in n trcmhiimr tono.
She would not offend her husband,
and she shrank from giving him advice
which ho might not follow.
"In the first place/' she said, "I think
the whole science of lotteries is a had
one; and then you have no money to
risk."
"But just look at the prizes," said
James, drawing a "scheme" from his
pocket. 'Tlere is one prize of $20,000,
(mother of ?10,000, Another J?r>000, and
ho on. Something tells nio that If I
liny a ticket I shall draw a large prize.
'And then just think, Hannah, how wis
aiy i coma pay nil up for my house,
ami perhaps have a good linnilsouie
flum left."
The young man spoke \vu!t raueli
earnestness .im! ; ?airanc?\ hut he saw
Hint there was a cloud ui on liis wile's
brow.
"It seems to nic that tli<? ehrmre of

Hannah, - she U tin* v ii

"1I:>i:estiyreppated the young mnn.
"Surely, there is nothing dishonest in
dl'nwing a prize iti a lottery."
"I II.ink there is," kimliy, but cmphfltleally,
replied tho wife. "AH
panics of hfl/.ard, whore money is at
?take, are dishonest. Were yon to
draw n prize of $20,000, you would
rob a thousand men of .S'JO each; or
?t least, j'on would take from then;
money for which you returned tiiein no
(equivalent. Is it not gambling in every
Bcnse of the word?"
"Oh, no! Von look up the matter

the ticket, .fan:' i.et tis live on the
products nf our i .n-'st .Minx, and we
ehall bo happier."
.fames Limning was uneasy. Tic had
no answer for his wife's arguments;
?t least, no niiMvcr that could spring
from his moral convictions, and lie lot
the matter drop. Hut the young man
could not drop the nron from his
heart. All the next day his head was
full of "prizes," and while lie was at
Ills work he kept muttering to himself,
"Twenty thousand dollars," "Ten thou
n.ni'j iiwnain, v IV lUOll -IUlU dOliarS,"
and so on.

looked nt bis wife, and lie saw tlitt she
was sad.
"Ob, I'm .sure I sliall draw a prize I"
lie said ,with a faint, fading smile.
llo took four liiilf-caglos from tho
box, and put tlieni in Ills poekot. Ills
wife said nothing. Mio played with her
baby to iiido iior sadness, for siie did
not wish to say more on Hie subject.
She had* scon that liltie pile of gold
gradually accumulating, and both she
and lier husband had boon happy in anticipating
the day when tlio pretty
cottage would 1)?? all tlierr own. lint
when she saw those four pieces of gold
taken away from tlie store, she felt a
foreshadowing of evil. She might have
spoken again against the movement,
but she saw that her husband v/as
sorely tender upon the subject, and
she let the affair go to the hands of
fate.
A week elapsed from the time that
James bought his ticket to the drawing
of tiie lottery, and during that, time
the young man had not a moment of
n-iii i-iijuj iiu-iii. ne wns p iiomaiing
between hope and fear, and therefore
liis mind was constantly 011 the
stretch, ,
At length the day arrived. James
went to the otilee, and found that tli0
drawing had takeu place, and that the
list of prizes had been made out. lie
seized the list and turned away, so
*L.?t those who stood around should
not see his face, lie read the list
through, but he searched for his number
in vain! It was not there. lie had

which lio had lost hail been tho savings
of two months of hard labor, and
ho felt their loss most keenly.
When he returned homo that night
ho told his wife that he had lost. She
found no fault with him. She only
kissed him and told him that the lesson
was a good one, even though it had
been dearly bought.
lint James Launing was not satisfied,
lie brooded over his loss with a bitter
spirit, and at length the thought eame
to him that lie might yet draw a prize,
lie wished that he had not bought the

hack his $20 he would buy 110 inoiv;
hut ho would not rest umlor his loss.
Ho was determined to make one more
t^al, and I10 did so. This time he purchased
tlie ticket without Ills wife's
knowledge. The result was the same
as I).'fore. lie drew : blank!
"Forty dollars!" was :i sentence that j
dwelt fearfully upon the mechanic
lips. i

in her hand.
"Kobbed!" she gasped, and sho flnnk

"Yes, Hannah," whispered tlio husband,

"I have done it ail, Hannah," hoarsely

Ibo truth. "All, all'has ?one for lottery

"Ah!" calmly whispered the fnltlifu)
wife, as she dilew her linnet ncrosti b*>r

James; wo wilt soon forgot it."
"Arul Mr. Kowso will foreclose tt;?

murmured young La lining in broker
accents.
"No; I will sen that nil is safe in that
quarter," added Hannah.
At that mpinent the baby awoke, ?nfl

Two years passed away, and during
lliat time James Lanning lost not a single
day from liis work, lie was a?
punelual as the sun, and the result 1
was as sure.
It was laie on Saturday evening j
when ho eame homo. After supper, ho \
drew a paper from his pocket, and laid j

"There, llannah," said ho, while ft
noble pride beamed in every feature,

j Hannah Lamiing saw that her husband
had opened his arms, and she sat

Mrs. Owens is an attractive young
