ter, although I was half -starving.
'I've had such a strange dream,'
said Mary to me One morning when
she was .nearly well, and° when there
was not a bit of crust in the house to
eat. I dreamt, Tom, that you.

All right,' she nodded, with an
other smile, and after giving me a
kiss she went out. • I did not think
for a, moment she was in earnest, or
fwcaildn't have let her go.
In about an hour she returned
with the pleasant newp-that she had
1.$en to the shop, had seen the -mas-
ter, and that I was to go to work on
the &Hewing Monday morning,
provided I meant to keep my pro-
mise of being a teetotaler. Mary, my dear,' L said to her,
'
when I say a thing ntean it, and,
God's help, I'll keep fast to my
y
you with all my heart,
Tom, Or I vOuldn't have gone to the
E4liop so willingly. I'm swe
keep your promise.'
And I did. I went to the old
shop the next Monday morning a
little before six o'clock,. 8.nd the
governor at once asked me if it was
true I was a. teetotaler, and whether
I meant to keep the pledge. I ask-
ed if he ever knew me to break my
word. He said 'No,' atid I told
him I wasn't going to begin then.
And I set to work, hinging as mer-
rily as a laik, and quite astonished
and alarmed thee:Aber workmen, ay,
and the governor too, by the vast
quantity -of work I-managecl to ket
through during the day. And the
whole 'week passed so quickly and
happily that I was really surprisedi
to, find he* soon- it was ended.
And when I took home to Mary
every farthingof the first week's
wages, we danced Nee two little
children, and laugliPd till we cried.
And everything seemed so very joy-
ous and different from the dull
dreary weeks I had wilfully wasted
—,not perhape altogether wasted, for
I- had been learning a wholesome
lesson—that we -.thought we were
living in another and more beautiful
world. The -next day, Sunday, we
went to church very early, and ask-
ed the minister to -offer up that
thanksgiving in the Prayer -book
which says-,--' For all Thy goodness
and Jovinglindneis to us and. to all
men, pa.rti.calat:ly to those who de-
sire now to offer up their praises
end thanksgivirigs_for Thy late mer-
cies vouchsafed unto them.' Great
mercies indeed had been vouchsafed
to es.
Mary again set about teaching me
to read and write; • and this time
with some success. In a. few months
• I was a tolerably good scholar, and
began to devbur all sorts of books
eagerly, particularly volumes of his-
tory, biography and trevels.
When, a year after my return,
our foremae gave notice that he was
going to set1 up business for himself,
our masterecame to me and said,
• that in consequence of my. keeping
the pledge he would maketne fore-
man in his place. I was to have
fite shllings a week extra for the
first six months; and after that an-
other five shilliugs a week.
'We were exceedingly careful and
thrifty, and soon paid off our debts
and began to save. The house we
live in we bought some time ago,
and we have something put by to-
wards buying more. , Haven't we:
Mary
t
Novr, yon cal woeder that I call
her my good angel ?' She taughit
me to read and write, she maintain-
ed me when I was oet of work, she
obtained work for me when I would
not seek it myself, and- it was in
consequence of her making me prona-
ise to !become a teetotaler • that
when the foreman left I stepped in-
tohis place; it's through her that I
am the owner of a house, and to her
I owe it that I am not an outcast
and a vagabond.

There is nothing on this earth so

IMPROVE NIJTRITION.-The central idea in
the treatment of all Chronie Wasting Diseases,
resulting in Nervous prostration and General De-
bility, is to improve the Digestion and Assimilation
of Food, and the formation ot Healthy Blood. Dr.
-Wheeler's Compound Elixir of Phosphates and
Calisaya coutains the only agents known that act
directly as excitants of nutrition, by imparting
tone tothe Stomach, Liver and Pancreas the
great tripod that prepares nourishment Tor biiild-
ing up the organs and tissues of the body. • The
action of this remarkable preparation is extraor-
dinary in strengthening and vitalizing the con-
stitution, whether impaired by age, exhausted by
excesses, bad habits, or ran down by Old com-
plaints thathave resisted all ordinary methods of
treatment. Being a delicious cordial to take, and
perfectly harmless under all circumstances, it is
eminently adapted to prestrate Jimmie women and
delicate children.
