One of Life's Dark Days. — — — •

8RLECTRD. Is w c> doan to have piano, mamratf asked little Charlie, as his plump hands were clasped about her neck in an ardent embrace, and his soft curls tossed, mingling in a golden shower with the auburn ringlets of his mother. "Yes, darling ! Papa will send it home, perhaps, to-day." " "Will you make pretty music for sissie and I ?" * "Yes, my lovc.M The little cherub bounded off her lap in high glee, and ran to tell "sissie" the joyful news. His little sister Man* was engaged in the motherly duty of rocking

dollie to sleep in her tiny cradle. "Sissie I Mamie ! piano is tumming today, to-day, ilamie ! and mama will make pretty music." "0, Low nice !" exclaimed Mary, m she clapped her hands, and the happy children danced for joy ; even dollie was forgotten for the mofnent. Yes, at last the patient wife was to have the long-promised piano. Not so fine an instrument a* the one she had parted with three years after her marriage, to enable her husband to liquidate debts incurred by his own reckless extravagance. It was an interesting groupe, t!u— pretty children absorbed in their innocent play, while tho joung mother mused over licr work, as she fashioned for little Mary a Uatefbl walking suit, the materials of which had been culled from two of her own worn-out dresses. "It is a long time since we had anything new to wear, and if 1 had no skill in making over the old, we should present a sorry appearance," thought she. Ilor husband, however, always dressed well, and smoked cigars of a choice brand. It was only the day previous a fine suit of broadcloth had been sent homo with delicately tinted casslmeresfrtnda beaver , hat of the new spring style. His French kid gloves were always (Vesh looking, and his neck-ties In tho fashionable shades. Sometimes a conviction of his selfish - now would flash through the mind of ! the gentle wife, hut she would not harbor r the thought, and always made excuses 1 * for him as she reasoned with herself, saying. "He is out in tho world, ami r must make a gP«*l appearance, it help* him in his business. If 1 cannot Indulge my taste in dress, what matters it, as I ■ I >

no Longer go into pooietyf'I will be 1 content so long as the children are well and happy/1 Some women practice this kind of self- delusion, because they have not tho courage i»4gc*ip and wrestle with* cruel fhet, which, if onoe hilly realised, must blast their earthly happiness. This i young woman had a high ideal of wifely and motherly duty, and in striving to attain it she often forgot what was due to herself. Qoorge Martin — her husband — ** Uxui years her - this fair young girl with a sweet faoean l youthful grace. She was one to be loved and shielded from rude contact with the world, as her home life had unfitted her for combating with its hard realities. Her father was a merchant long in good standing, but had died insolvent twp years after her marriage. All hopes of a goodly sum of money, from that source, which the husband's hand secretly cherished, were frustrated by this event. Perhaps George loved his wife as well as it was in his nature to love. $bo was careful of all his wants, dutiful as a good child, and always anxious to restrain tho too boisterous merriment of the little ones when papa was near, lest it should disturb him. Geoige considered her far too attractive to mingle in society, and artfully managed to k$ep her out of it ; in which plan h$ succeeded effectually. Engrossed is his own selfish pleasures and pursuits, he had no thought or care for her wants beyond her daily food and shelter ; and %if he did sometimes amuse himself with the children, on the whole be oonaidered them a bore and serious tax on his income. What wonder that such a nature should be jealous of the attentions bestowed oq the children by their loving mother. Music had been the solace of this neglected wife in many a lonely evening, while her husband amused himself at his club or lodge, where he was hailed as the prince of good fellows. When this man, so gonerous to gain popularity, so solicitous to pass for a fine gentleman, n-«m tuwto give up ner p'Mio. nmrTTTr consented to the sacrifice, he had accepted it as a more concession of

wifely duty, lie never know tho pang it cost licr to part with that cherished instrument, the gift of licr dear father, who had taken great pleasure in cultivating her taste for music. Often in her loneliness would her thoughts revert to those happy days of her girlhood, when j >ctted by grandmother and father, life had seemed like one long joyous June day. Then, when they told her of the dear mother who had died in her infancy, it was like a soft- shadow that enhanced the sunny brightness of her life. But when grandmother and father had gone to their rest, all . the loving trust of her nature had reposed in her husband. She had none other to look up to, and was slow to believe any evil of him, for she could not imagine that

he would deliberately do heron ii\justiee. T She had deposited in the bank two < hundred dollars, which had .been left . 1 her by an aunt, and oven this sum the husband coveted, and tried to get possession of. At last he had induced 1 her to draw it out for the purpose of j getting a piano. Said he, "I will add some to it, nnd purchase a fine instrument ; then home will once more be enlivened hy music." "But/' said the wife, "would it not be better to let this sum accumulate for Mar)*? She may need it for her education." "Stuff! nonsense ? am not I able to educate "tho children properly? I am now getting my business in good shape, and shall soon bo on the high road to fortune, in fact, am already with the goal at hand, so take tho money, get a piano, and amuse yourself and the children. No fear but 1 shall be rich ; long before it is time to send them' to school," Doar, confiding wife ! the prospect of increased prosperity and happiness for tho little ones was too alluring, so she placed her little all in his hands to make the purchase, and the instrument was sent homo the next day. "Mammal piano is cornel" said Mary, rushing in to her mother's room .breathless with excitement,* while little Charlie »i followed as fast as he could roll his wee fat body up the stairs. Between them they nearly dragged mamma down to the parlor. Sure enough, there it was, and the men busily putting it up. The wife was mute with astonishment. Instead of the fine instrument she had exported, was one so acientand diminutive, it needed no streteh of imagination to suppn* it the original splnnet which

first suggested Use idea of a piano. There, mounted on iU spindling legs of < obaolute pattern, it seemed toaoflk her. When the men had departed, aha ewept i her finger* over the keys, and the sound was a» of tinkling oo w -be Us. The. little ones were in ** testes at what the? supposed* was music, eo she attempted to give them a wait* or two, and her spirits rose with their innocent mirth. I Then a keen sense of the ludioreu* spene osme over her — the <yueer sounds • ' occupying the plaoe of honor, was too much for the player, and she burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. "No doubt," she thought, "George has reconsidered the matter, and bought this cheap, leaving my money untouched. Yes, this was tho wisest plan; for mercantile ventures are so uncertain, and I prefer to have that money invested for Mary. This will amuse the children, and by practice I can get back the use of my fingers, that is, if I stuff my ears with cottonwool." And so it was a happy group the father found on his return home that evening. "You see, wife," said George, as they were all gathered around the instrument, "i thought this would do for the present, as we have so little company, and tho children can play on it without fear. We Bhall want a superior instrument when Mary begins to play," "How much did you pay for this 7" "Fifty dollars." •K), then, I can put mine in the bank again." "Well, you see, 1 paid for this out of your money." "Then I will invest the balance/1 "I have given you credit on my books for the baluncc." Poor deluded wife, more than a : thousand dollars of her money had been previously swamped in this way, or j risked on wild ventures which had come | to naught. Iler heart sank within her, j nil sii# mill nu i ami in invwTiVi^nV"' he might make, and fdt that she had ' been wheedled out of her money. 8he, however, gave no outward sign, and ! endeavored to appear cheerful. "Let us see what the thing is made of," said George, as he lifted off the top, and swept hi* fingers over the keys, amusing himself hy watching the mechanism. Little (Tiarlie, standing on his tiptoes, grasped the base of the key-board with his chubby hands, and shouted with glee, fH), sissie ! sissie T see 'little hammers doing up and down." "Go away I" yelled the father, savagely. Charlie shrank hack, taking refuge under "sissie's" apron. George went on a<Jjusting the key-board, adding a bit of buck -skin hero and there to the I dilapidated works, and occasionally t torturing sounds from this wheexv representative of a past age. Little I %'j'l M * - | V

Charlie's curiosity got the better of his fears, and again his bright wondering face was just above the level of the keyboard, as he eagerly watched "do 'ittle hammers." <4Get outf' roared the father, and suiting the action to the word, he planted a blow direct in the child's upturned face. Ilis terrified* screams resounded I j through the house as the blood spurted 1 ; from his nose. "O, darling little brother !" shrieked Mary, winding her arm* About his neck. | Tho mother, in alarm, came rushing in from the dining-rootn, whore she had been arranging the table fi»r dinner. . The sight of licr children so cruelly 1 treated, made her brain reel nnd all the room grow dark. Some two hours litter, the unhappy wife snt in her dimly -lighted room beside the little beds, where, after the domestic i storm, the children lay quietly. Soothed | and comforted bv mother, thev had forgotten their troubles in the sweet | sleep of innoconce. But the mother ! 0 that the sleep of forget ftilness might come to such snflorer* and benumb their ' keen sense of misery and helplessness. | With bend drooping on her breast, and hands hanging lUtlessly.her attitude was one of utter despondency. In the J expressive fnee were the signs of rest less I thought, and the lips were so tightly compressed that all the features seemed sharpened. For hoj, henceforth there could be no more self delusion ; the pOWOT to ideal ite an unwo»*thy companion was gone. He whom she had chosen above all others, he who had vowed to love and cherish her until death, he stood unmasked before her in all his selfishness and brutality. •

He had no qualms of conscience for having used up her money ; the two hundred was all expended. He had paid thirty dollars for the old piano, bought hifiiself a new spring suit, and that night was to give a supper to a few friends at Delmonico's.

How to Treat a Broken-Legged Animal.

i — x fin iai mtCQuu 'In fiUIl with It# I breast against ft manger of proper height ' to allow it to feed with caar. Build across the stall, under the animal, | between its front and hind legs, a platform. Cover this with coarse bagging, padded with straw in the shape of its body. This platform should be of a height that will enable the creature to stand erect on "its uninjured legs and barely touch the padded platform. Then buildiug a longitudinal partition the whole length o(" the stall, running between the leg* and from the ground up to the platform built across the stable. While the animal is standing on its sound legs, dig out under the iiyured j one a hole a foot deep ; then set the leg in a proper'plaster bandage. By so doing i you have your animal standing on its uninjured leg* and unable to put any weight on the ii\jured one by reason of the excavation under it. It will soon

learn to extend the sound legs and bear its weight, or a portion of it, on the padded platform, and will require no further care. The only ipjury that could ooeur to the broken leg would be from ; striking it sideways aguinst thepar.ition that separates the legs on the right side of its body from those on the lefr. Under the old method of slinging i animals to take the weight off their j broken limbs, many of them died from displacement of their vital organs caused by the pressure. Under this method the only juvrssure is occasioned by the attempt of the animal to rest its well limbs ; consequently, when the pain I from pressure causes inconvenience, it will at once stand upon the well leg*. This method of building platforms under the bodies of animals to enable them to obtain rest without lying down could be utilised on shipboard. In this case it, of course, would not require the longitudinal partition.

Driving away Sorrow.

A sad looking man went into a Burlington drug store. "Can you give me," he asked, "something that will drive from my mind the thought* of i sorrow and bitter recollection*? And | the druggist nodded and put up a little dose of quinine, and worm-wood, and ' rhitbarK and epsom salts, and a dash of castor oil and pave It to him, and fbrstx months the man eonWn^t think of anything in the worW except new schemes of ! getting the taste out of his month.
