BEGUN WRONG.
BY ROSE TER= COOKE.
Jack had poise enough to make a
quiet entrance, and hearing voioes up stairs,
proceeded to Ana's dressing -room; she
stood there amid waves of pale, glittering
satin, that a dressmaker was draping about
her slender figure; the woman stopped her
work as he entered,
"Do ydu want me, Jack ?" Nellie aoked,
in a surprised tone.
"1 do want you; can you come to the li-
brary?"
"Yes, I will; wait for me there a moment.
IVIadarne is just through."
Jack went into the library and flung him-
self into a great easy -chair; the delay was
dreadful; his courage fluttered, sank, per-
haps would have failed, but that his wife
hastened to him and with feminine instinct
perceiving his distress, knelt on the floor
beside him, and`putting her warm soft arm
about his neck. The tender touch broke
him down.
"Nelly," he said,—the word was like a
sob—" I have failed ; my business is gone;
we have nothing left."
He thought she would faint and slip from
his arms; but she looked up into his face
and laughed ; flash of cheer and courage
crossed her pale face. "Is that all ?" she
said, in a tone like the reveile of a bugle..."I
thought you were ill, Jack."
This was what the level brows, the clear
eyes, the cleft chin, and the firm lips had in
store for him'inspiring courage, will to fight
or endure. Jack burst into tears; the hard
dreadful tears of a man.
Never in all her married life had Nell
laviehed on him such caresses as now. She
clasped his head against her bosom, and cov-
ered his face with kisses; she wiped away
those slow hot tears that burned. like melt-
ed lead; she stroked his damp hair, damp
lir-with the agony of his resolve and reluctance
she murmured inartioulatasounds in his ear
such as mothers croon AIL their speechless
babies. She saved his sour alive. Was not
that something to do? After a time he re-
covered strength and looked up at her with
the saddest smile:
"Nelly, you are an angel."
"Not a bit of it, sir 1" she laughed. "I'm
a very mortal woman, and here's the proof."
She poured. out a glass of wine from a de-
canter left there by a careless servant since
the night before when a friend had called,
and made him drink it slowly ; the warmth
of the stimulant drove off the chill of his ex-
aeitement
"Now tell me the rest," said Nelly, as
she felt his cold, damp hands recover their
warmth. •
"There is nothing more to tell, Nelly,
thank God 1 I am only unfortunate, not a
rascal."
"As if you could be 1" she replied indig-
nantly ; then she made him sit beside her on
the sofa and by dint of questions, gently
yet acute, drew from him the condition of
affairs as far as he was able to make her un-
derstand them.
In the coursaof this conversation it was
needful to tell her of her father's insolvency
at the time of his death.
"And you never told me 1"
A hot color swept over her face as she
uttered the words.
"My love, I could not bear tci trouble
you ; it was not necessary.
"And I went' on with all seas of extrav-
agance, thinking I could do as I had done,
because father was rich, " How can I for-
give myself?"
" How ealf%yoli ever fore's° me, 'tell? is
the real question."
She drew his throbbing head down on her
shoulder. '
"Is it so very hard to forgive one, Jack,
for over -loving ? ' •
He could not answer; his voice failed.
Presently he rose.
" I insist go now Nelly ; you have saved
me out of the depths."
He looked at her with his heart in his
eyes, and with one long, loving embrace left
her.
Eleanor sat down, stunned; her courage,
her generous faithful heart, her strong will,
had rallied to her husband's aid: but now
he had left her she buried her lead on the
arm of the sofa with along shuddering sigh,
and tried to think; there Was nmeh to be
done, she could not plan yet, but she could
work; she went back to her dressing. room,
and there lay the silvery folds of satia
across a high chair 1 she should never wear
that dress, the ball for which it was prepar-
ing she should not attend; she unpinned the
plaits, folded the breadths carefully tog,ether
and laid them in the box from which they
came, put in the lengths of delica,te lace,
aud the garniture of apple -blossoms that
was to have been worn with them, and call-
ing her maid told her to tie up the box and
set it aside, she had changed her mind about
the ball. Then a dreadful weariness of soul
and body came over her, for Nelly Palmer
was a young. delicate woman after all, and
she had received a heavy shock. But after
a rest of some quiet hours, (for she denied
hereelf that day to callers) she rallied, and
dressing fora dinner, showed a serene and
cheerful face to Jack when he came husk,
and welcomed him as if he had still been her
lover. Ah 1 he was more. Never since he
first took her image into his heart had Nelly
been so dear,. so adored as now; he knew
for the first time the inteut and sweetness
of "a helpmeet for him."
But in the first excitement of any Osage,
evera of loss, there is certain force that
helps us to endure; while Jeck was busied
all clay long in figuring up his losses, hie
assets, the prob,soilities of the situatioa,
and its more &mullet pessibilities, and
Nelly arrangieg her .jewels for sale, chap,

had so long enjoyed, there was the impetus

resolutely one night, and made a strict c
oulatien of meaes and expenses ; but ev
taking into consideration the fact that th
were both clothed for a year or two, for
they found it was economy to keep'their or-
dinary clothing rather than sell it; and also
that there was no furniture, bedding, or in
feast any household goods to buy, still they
could not afford to board in a comfortable
manner, or to rent a whole houee ; so they
resolved to hire three rooms and keep house
in them.
"1 don't know how to cook, Jack; but
I'm not a fool. I cb,n learn," laughed Nel-
ly. "Mother begun in a small house when
she married father, and I've got her dingy
old recipe -book ; kept it for sentiment's
sake; now it will be worth everything."
"But Nelly you have never had to work;
how can you? No, we must keep a ser-
vant"
"My Jack, we can't. And if we could,
how could I teach her? I know nothing
myself 1 we should waste her wages to begin
with."
Jack had to give in.
There was great satisfaction to them both
in the fact that Jack's business being wound
up so early in the course of his trouble, not
only paid all his oreditors, but left him five
hundred dollars, to which the delighted
creditors added five hundred more, as an ex-
pression of their respect for his prompt
winding up of affairs, instead of trying to
recover himself by borrowing more money,
and asking more oredit, till the business
would have been a mere hollow shell, and
those who had helped or dealt with him
been hopelessly defrauded.
They did not know that they owed this
to Eleanor's counsel.
"Don't try to go on another day 1" she
had energetically exhorted Jack ; "ask Mr.
Hartmann ; you say he knows ,the state of
affairs; ask him if it isn't better to stop
now, peva your creditors and your credit,
and get out of suspense yourself, rather than
keep dragging on till nothing is left. Oh,
Jack 1 it is honester, I am sure, to stop
now; and I want my husband to be the
very honestest man in all the town."
What could Jack do but kiss that lovely
glow on her radiant face, and take her
advise forthwith?
"A whole thousand dollars that makes!"
said Jack, when the creditors sent in their
cheek, with a letter that made Nell's heart
proud.
What shall we do with jt? Don't ycu
want to board now for a year, to getused to
our descent ?"
"No, I want the worst first, Jack ; put
that money in the saving's bank; there may
be need of it sometime ; we may not always
be well."
"Sensible creature 1" laughed Jack ; and
he deposited the money that day.
By the time the household goods were
sold, and the house turned over to the
largest crditor, Jack had hired a small fiat
of three rooms, in a tenement house on the
corner of a street in a totally unfashionable
flesh, strengtls, spirits and courage ; all of
which had dwindled.

When it name the hoard in the saving's
bank stood her in good stead; the doctor,
understanding the state of things, sent out
into the country for one of those skillful
and homely nurses who not only care for
the patient bpt do the house -work, so that
all Nelly's cares were lifted from her, and
she could lie still at peace, wondering at
the loveliness of her tiny daughter, whom
Jack stigmatized' as "That crumpled up
red thing 1"
And now Nelly would be lonely no longer.
She had her hands and her heart full, and
that divinest of all earthly affections, mother
love, possessed her in alt its fervor and
patience; Jack, as the baby grew into some
human aspect found himself longing to get
home and play with it; and all the anxieties
and troubles its childish sorrows and ail-
ments caused, only endeared it,the more
,to its parents, and bound the three together
with stronger ties.
Two years after Jack's failure he was
walking home from church one Sunday with
a young man who was a clerk in the same
office. Jack asked him in to lunch.
"No thank you," said young Holcombe.
"1 go to your house too often; it makes
me envious, Palmer."
"Have one of your own, then," suggested
Jack, with a laugh.
"On a thousand a year? No sir 1 we
must wait until I can do better than that."

can't you and she begin just there? Give
her the chance, Sam; that is due to her.

In old da.ys the houeakeeper had it hard

to use a pound of sugar for every pound of

her successor has been doing ever since the
self-sealing can and its process came in, and
frequently a few weeks afterward to' find,
on investigation all her work done in vain,
shining little babies rising to the top, or
blue mould skinning over the mouth of the
jar, and the whole quantity to be emptied
into the preserving kettle and to be boiled
over. Modern times improved upon her
labors in large degree • the porcelain kettle
replacing the brass kettle, which heeded
such bitter sorubbing and 'scouring in order
that it should be innocuous, and the cans
replacing the old earthen jars and brandied
papers. But the cans themselves have
brought their own trouble with them in the
toughened and shrinking rubbers of their
mouths, in their breelutge, and the expense
of their first cost; house -keepers now hear
gladly that, without using any more sugar
thanan the canning process, they may put
their preserves into any receptacle they
choose, just as their . grandmothers did,
tiover the top with plam white 'paper, and
bind down closely over that and tie with
twine a good thick layer of cotton battiag
of the sort bought for filling comforters, and
the work will, not have to be done over,
again, as the cotton batting, it has been
found, excludes effectually all the bacteria.
or germs that cause mould and 'fermentation.
This easy process should be generally
