Nay, my dear, I will not spend a dollar superfluities while 1 am in debt." Mrs.

Ben WeSton felt vpry had-alioat it, but her husband was firm, and she was forced to content herself with the plain fur-, -niture. Mrs. Joe Weston enjoved her nice pnrlor until the novelty wore away, and then she discovered a great many other articles wanted to inake things look uniform. The two windows must hare drapery curtains, a pier glass was needed, and pictures were wanted to relieve the walls. Her husband, had once exceeded the limits of his means, found no great difficulty in doing it again, and" toe things were bought.

Hut Joe had some scruples about it. His notes began to be troublesome, and every day he was in the street borrowing money. His too, had not met his expectations. Instead of increasing in the ratio of his last year's experience, it hardly held its own, and the poor fellow began to have some serious misgivings about the future. the year had half expired, he was obliged to introduce a rigid system of retrenchment into his family and business affairs, in order to keep his expenses within his income.

CHAPTER 111. Another year had passed away in the business" experience of tho young chants. The books were balanced, and the result in black and white, stood 'before them. Ben had followed up his system of advertising through the year. He had expended large sums, but had, made the outlay with judgment and discretion.

The result had exceeded his most sanguine expectations. His store was crowded with customers -with genuine, bona-fide customers, and with but a small proportion of gadders and fancy shoppers. The papers haa.borne to the best families in the city and country full descriptions'of his stock; His name was as familiar as household words in the dwellings of the rich and poor, of the farmer, the mechanic and the laborer. Truly, the harvest was abundant; and Ben rubbed his hands with delight as he cast his eye over the figures xbich conveyed to him the pleasing result of Jus year's operations. He had the means of not only clearing himself of debt, also of gratifying hia wife with all the new fur-? niture she required, besides some little surplus with which'to increase his business, i The.

furniture was bought and set, up every debt was dischargeai and the importers and jobbers were eager to give him, unlimited credit. One day while he was ruminating upon this pleasant'state of things, Joe Weston entered the store. For some months past the intercourse between merchants had not been as cordial as Joe's nice things had rather him tip. some of the tipper ten had condescended to and he attended the Almack parties withhls Wife. He was getting along fast in hia own and cherished a supreme tempt for the slow motion Bat when in the middle ot the.

year, he found himself running and disr: covered that Ben's store -was crowded with shoppers, while his own was a feel- 1 ing of envy took possession of him, "Ben must be underselling," he consladed, and sooner or later the consequence would appear. The prosperous could not Irat notice the sad and dejected mein of his friend, as he entered the atore. "How are yon, Joe 9 almost a stranger, lately. Where do you lecp your-. self?" said Ben.
