THE WIDOW'S SEWING M4CHUTE.

I A STORY OF LOVB, PRIDE AND POVEBTY. ».

A curious trade to take, but then it has grown to be profitable. Tilings were at a low ebb with me whnn I took it up, while now—

There. I won't boast, only say that I'm thankfui'for it. Poverty comes in at the door, and love flies out of the window, BO your peor people will always be miserable, while according to my experience your poor man is often more ligit heart~ed thmi the man with thousands.

I was at my wit's end for something tp do, and «at nibbling my nails one day^ -grumbling horribly. J. "Dou't^o on like that, Tom.'' says mj? wife "tliin^B might be^worse." "How?" I said. "Why, we might have Luke at homfe, and ho is doing well."

Luke's out Doy, you know, and we have cot him in a merchant's office, where lie seems likely to stay, but I was in a grumbling fit then, and there was a clinkety click noise going on in the next room that fidgeted me terribly. "Things can't be worse," faid angrily and I wsw goinjj to prove myself in the wrong by making my wife cry, when there was a knock at tho door. "Come in," 1 said, and a fellow-lodger put in his head. "Are you good at work, Mr. Smithr he said. "What work?" I said "fireworks— gas-works "No, no I mean work of things as goes with wheels and springs." "Middling," I said for I was fond of pulling clocks to pieces, and trying to invent. "I wish you'd come and look at this sewing machine of mine, for I can't get it to go."

machines were newish in those

days, and I got up tolobk at it, nnd after about an hour's toddling about it I began to see a bit of the reason why—the purpose. you know, of all the screws and crunks and wheels I found out, too, why our neighbor's wife—she was a dressmaker and had just started one—could not get it to go and before night, and by thinking and putting this and that together, had got her in the way of working it pretty steadily, though with my clumsy finders I couldn't have done so myself.

I had my bit of dinner and tea with these people, and they forced half a crown upon me as well,and I weni. back feeling like a new man, so refreshing had been that bit of work. "There," said my wife,"! told you that something would come." "Well, so you did," said I but the something is rather small."

But tho very next day—as we were living in the midst of the people who were fast taking to sewing mach in eg—if the folks from the next house didn want me to look at theirs and then'the news spreading, as news will spreui, that there was somebody who could cob•*ble and tinker machinery, without puttine peoplo to the expense that makers would, if the jobs didn't come in fast s# lmt. I was obliged to get flies and drilfhuid a vise—a regular set of tools bv decwpis and at last 1 was as busy as morning to night, whistling OVer ni^ ^ork as happy as a king.

But I've had plenty of honest people to Ileal with, too—them as have come rtndsht forward and asked me to take their machines back, when I!d allow thfem as math as I thought feir, and tftat would ?be an end of a nleasant transaction.

Tlie way have' been bitteh, thdhgh, by some folks has made me that casehardened that sometimes I've wondered whether I've got any heart left, and the wife had to interfere, telling me I've been spoiled with prosperity, and grown unfeeling.

It was that as made me give way about Ruth for one day, after having my bristles all set up by finding out that, three good sound machines, by best makers, had gone, nobody knew where, who should come into the shop but a lady-like woman in a very shabby widow's weed. She wanted a machine for herself and daughter to learn, and said she had heard I would take the money by installments. Now just half an hour before, by our shop clock, I had made a vow that I'd give up all that part of the trade, and I was very rough with her—just as I am when I'm cross—and said "No." "But you will if the iady gives security?' said my wife, hsistilv.

The jioor woman gave such a wofe-be-gone look at us that it made more out of temper than ever, fori could feel that if I stopped I should,have to let her have one at her own 'terms. And so it was for there, if I didn't let her have a first class machine, as good as new she only paid seven and one-half down, and undertaking to pay half a crown a week, and no more security than noth-

To make it worse, too, if didn't send the thing home without charge!—Luke going with it, for he was back at home now, keeping my books, being grown into a fine young fellow of twenty-^ve: and I sat and growled the whole rest of the day, calling myself all the weakminded idiots under tbe sun, and telling the wife that business was gofng to the dogs, and I should be ruineai "You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Tom,"'ahe said. "So I am," savs I, "didn't think I could be

a fool.

"Such a'fobl as to do a kind action to one who was evidently a lady bora, and come down in the world." ''Yes," I says, "to be living in Bennett's place, where I've sunk no less than ten machines in five years." "Yes,'' says the wife, "and cleared hundreds of pounds. Tom, I am ftshauiedof you—you a man with twenty workingmen busy up stairs, a couple of thousand pounds worth of stock in the bank, "Hold your tongue, will you I said roughlv, and went out into the shop to try and work it off.

Ltike came back soon afler, looking very strange, and I was at him directly. "Where's the seven an' six?" I says angrily.

He didn't answer, but put three half crowns..down on my desk, took out his book, made entries, date of delivery, first payment, when the others were due and all the rest of it—and was then going into the house. "Mind," I said sharply, "those payments are to be kept to the day and tomorrow you go down to the Rollys. who live nearly opposite to 'em, and tell 'em to keep an eye on the widow, or we shall lose another machine." "You needn't be afraid, father, he said coldlv "they're honest enough, only poor."

I was just in that huilnor that I wanted to quarrel with somebody, and that did it. ''NVhen I ask you for your opinion, young man, you give it to me, and when I tel? ytm to do a thing, you do it," I said in as savage away as ever I spoke to the Vad. "You go over to-morrow and tell the Rollys to keep a strict }ookout on these people do you hear?" "Father," he says, looking me full the face,

For that boy had never spoken to me like that before, and I should have gone after him feeling like mad, ouly some people came in, and I didn't see him ngntn until evening, and a good thing too, for I'm sure I should have said all sorts of things to the boy that I should have been sorrv for afler. And there I was, fuming and fretting about, savage with everybody, giving short answers, snapping" at the wife, and feeling as a man does feel when he knows he has been in the wrong, and hasn't the heart to own it.

It was about 8 o'clock that I was sitting bv the parlor fire, with the wife working and very quiet, when Luke came in from the workshop with a book under his arm, for he had been footing ur the men's piece, and what was due to them, and the sight of him made me feel as if I wanted to quaml.

He saw it too, but he said nothing, only put tho accounts away and began to read.

She did what she so well knew how to do— filled mv pipe, forced it in my hand, and just as 1 was going to dash it to pieces the ashes, she gave me one of her old looks, kissed me on the forehead, as with one hand she pressed me back into the chair and then with the other she lit a splint and held it to my tobacco.

For something like a new revelation had come upon me. 1 knew 1 hat Luke was twenty-five, and that I Was iftyfour, but he always seemed like a boy to me, and here I was waking up to the fact that he was a grown man, and that He was thinking and feeling as I first thought and felt when I saw his .mother, nigh upon twenty and eight years ago.

There, in the bare room, sat asleep in her chair the widow lady who came about the machine, and I could see that in her face which told plainly enough that the pain and suffering she must have been going through for years would soon be over, arid situated as she was it gave me a kind of turn. "It's no business of yours," I said to myself roughly, and I turned then to see who it was that was bending over my machine.

I couid see nq face, only a slight figure iu rusty black, and a pair of busy white hands were trying hard to govern the thi»g and to learn to use it well.

So that's the gal, is it," I said to myself. "Ah! Luke, mv boy, you've got to •the silly calf age and I dare say—"

I got no further, for at that moment the girl started and turned around, and turned upon me a timid, wondering face that made my heart give a queer throb, and I couldn't take'my eyes off her. "Oh, dear!" she saitl shortly, holding up her hand and I Saw that it was as thiu and transparent as if she had been ilL "Ny name's Smith," I said taking out a screw-driver.

"So am i," says I gruffly it will make it all the easier for you to make the money to pay for it" "And I will work so hard,' she said 'earnestly.
