THE BLACKSMITH’S ‘ VALENTINE. - ‘'/on must know, sir, I anijr native of this pla'ce, having been born and bred In the village, and never having been away from it.more than a day at, a time. My father had this smithy ’before in ft —’ i n d eeth iV htfg-beend nmu r ; fainily several generations. JM.V’ ■ father died when I was about’twenty years old, an,d tdie management of' (be business fell to me? I find long had a,n eye. on th.e missus there, and I used to knock off work as, soon as I could, smarten myself -.up a bit, and stroll over to the next village, where Jennie.lived and kept house for ljer mother ha,d died somayearS before— 1 began to think tha^hough wo were both rather young, w’e might’do worse than get married, and -when I men­ tioned it to the girl she agreed, pro- v:ded her father was willing. I "talked the old chap round, for he knew very .well I was n steady young fellow, and had a good, .busin‘8S ot my- own. I. 'used losing in the church choir .at that, time, and L^an tell you there was more than one fair damsel that." would have jumped at the chance, wasn't there, Jennie ? O-h I you nsedn't laugh, old girl, you know it.’s true. \Ve)I, we' were married, and l-T the. first year or two, everything Went as'Well aS it could do, • Tlref!' our first boy was 'born', and I can tell yon 1 was proud; too. and no mistake, o t 111 e y o ii t)g e-us to tn e r/_• B u t we we/e , too happy to last, and a change came; but it. c.ame.so..quiet.like,..that, we hardly noticed it. You know, sir, ours is hard work,' and Ualways used to believe that a drop of-beei' helped to keep one's strength up.. So' I» used to drink a goodish dr'opAn t'he. ■mvirse-Df-m’tl^7-antl--l'iTgotr^B0~i:ac=r* cnstomed to it, that I believed I could not do without it. And then nt night when I had finished work, I liked to drop in at -tne King’s Arms,, and talk over the affairs of the vil< 11ire with a fcw -orlrers-,-’*lfkrr-m-;rsolf'; But that.sort'cf thinu doesn't do for a young fellow like I wks then,- as I soon found. Sometimes I would Stay till ‘turnout time,” and . then you - know, sir, I wasn’t ready. -fW wdrk the first thing in the morning. I • didn’t tfet drunk—ohy ,bod> I •.•don't want you to think tint— bliT’a man can do himself a deal o'f’harml by drink without getting drunk. My business ■ began,to fall of,*"l found,- for -things’ were Jell, too much to the lads, and if the tnnsl-ei’s eye is not about same- Diing or other is sure* to go wrong. ’ •I wns’k bit cut up, I can tell you, when I loot tho work lor tho Squire up at the Big House as we call call it. I M tell you how it came qbout. I used to do a lot of work J’or him, and good work, too, for the money, was always sure on quarter (lay. I tfsbd to shoe his horses, besides doing the gonernl smithing work on tho estate. Ono morning I ought to have gone Up to the- house to shoe -some horses, but as I felt rather ‘lieavy? having Hayed- Inter than usual ,at tjie King's Arms ther night before, f. Sent my Oldest apprentice. He was a good, steadv lad, but wan hardly experienc­ ed enough for the job, and I ought not to have aent him, I know. How­ ever! did eend him, and., he lamell .■,oji,e_.ol tho hoi'ses. The S'quit'o was ^very much upset about it, and when j,e found out I hadn’t gono .myself but had sent my lad, Im camo down to me in a towering rage, and threat­ ened to take the whole of the work ' away. This frightened me for A time- and made me more careful; hut bad h.ibf(s are bad to break away Bom, . and I was sOOtUas Cai'ClCRS as- ever. I Juul two -or three raiher .per* emptory messages at times, from the bailiff', but the last straw? as they tny ‘broke the camel's .back? One nay in tho spring, ft hay making''m',«- eliino was sent down to my ftfmp liom the Big House, with ft message tat h# nnt in nrdT-r ki rmort' —rd the mowers were going to be put on that day, and the rnaQ'iine wonTd be wanted in the morning. *WeD> I . made a atari at it. and found that it wanted a good bit of doing to* it. Still, if I worked bard, I might, get it dong in time., VVjiifatL was busy «t it, who should come along by the . ahop but a jnnavt sergeant of one,of the cavalry regiments, I looked up and saw it. was Jim Kumbold, an old schoolmate of mine, Who ran away ami unlisted some years ago, and was now come back for tire first lime. You may be sure our greeting one to another was of a very cordial kind, and when he said, ‘C'ome along, old boy, we must have a wet over this,’ I threw down my hanwner and went to the King’s-Arms with him intend-' ing to stay only a minute or two, and to make up for the time by working a bit later at night. But you know how it is when two or three friends meet who haven’t seen one another for soma years; and Jim had such a lot to say, and so many wonderful stories toptelI ahont what he bad seen -in foreign parts that the time slipped away so fast, and I forgot all-about work> * T Wks not exactly drunk when I got home, but I was ‘unsteady? and I can-tell you I just was put out the next morning when I found that the Squire had been down yesterday afternoon to see how. I was getting on with'the machine, and finding out where I was he bad taken it’ away, and the job was given to another blacksmith to do. Next day I had to send in my bill, and the money was immediately sent, with a note to sav that a man who could not attend to his. business would have no more work from the Squire. ‘And this was .not the worst of it for some of the others hearing of this,’took their work away also, and my,Jorge was often idle, whilst I spent more. time, than- ever at the King’s Arms. The children had be&n coming along prettv fasf; and I.can tell you things were beginning to look rather serious, when the'bircuin­ stance happened that I was.going to., tell you about when Ustarted, only I 'thought itrwas best to tell you just how the matter stood right- from the beginning. -v- • ' . ‘Well, then, one day in the early. --pirtof February, having nothing-to- do in the shop, I put on my jacket and walked into the town just to have alook,around.

Business soon’came back, indeed it increased; and the Squire, as soon as he heard the turn affairs­ had taken, came ..down and had a chat with me, which ehded in his giving me all his work again, for he said, “I can’t get’ft done anywhere else like' you used to do it-, and if you only keep sober, you need never want a day’s work so long as.
