FRIDAY.
"Drunk for a Week."
"Tom?" and the tones of the master's voice Came sharp to the listening ear; "Where is the woman who does this work?" Said Tom, with a shrug, "I fear She had to give it up. She was ghostly white When she left the office at six last night."
"Well, scratch her name from off of the books; Get somebody in that's well. These women are always in trouble, I think; And Tom — about Timothy Snell: When he get over that last week's spree And comes to his senses, send him to me.
"It's a week to-day since he's shown his face, But he's got his oats to sow; And I'll give him a hint on the evil of drink, And let the whole thing go, Tim's a good fellow — he'll steady at last; Who wants young men to grow old too fast?
So "drunk for a week" is a young man's joke, And sick for a day is a sin; The woman who faints is sent out to the dogs, While the fellow who drinks is kept in. And why? Oh! that is a riddle confessed; The answer I'd give but it's never been guessed.
My Story.
BY ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS.
[From the Congregationalist]
Hiram came in and unbuttoned his overcoat, and hung it up without speaking.
There was always something prosy about Hiram and me. I suppose there always will be. It's in us, both of us. I don't know that we should have got married, If it hadn't been — it is such a prosy thing to get married about here.
You go right along, you know. You see so little of anything but each other, and the quarter's bills, and measles, and Thursday evening meeting.
You don't read much poetry, and you don't see much company, and it isn't often there's a concert, and it isn't once a year that you read a novel, and that is when you have the influenza — and I don't think, all things considered, that anything is quite so prosy as a novel and an influenza taken together.
But on the whole I'm sorry about it I don't think we should have been any happier if we'd been the other kind of people; for I often tell Hiram there is another kind of people, after all.
"Is there?" he says. "Well, I don't know, Paulette."
And I don't suppose he does. And so we jog along.
Happy?
I'm not used to writing for newspapers, I never tried to do such a thing before in all my life; and when you ask me if we're happy, if Hiram and I are happy, I declare I don't know what to say!
Happy?
I believe that I never have stopped to think, since I was married, whether I was happy or not. I used to think a great deal about it before. All girls do — cry about it nights when they're not too sleepy. Since I've been married, I have not had the time to think about that nor anything.
Now that it comes up, it seems such a ridiculous question! Hiram and I happy? I should like to know what business a man and his wife have to be any thing else! Of course Hiram and I are happy.
Of course, at least we were that evening when he came in and unbuttoned his overcoat and hung it up before he spoke; generally he spoke just in latching the door: "There, Paulette?" or, "How's the baby?" or, at least what a cold night it was!
Now that was what made me say that Hiram and I were prosy. Some people would have gone off like a needle gun if they'd had what Hiram had to say. Hiram just unbuttoned those buttons, six of them, slowly, and he hung his coat up by the loop, and took off his woolen comforter.
Then he came to the fire, and then I saw how white he was, and then I felt myself turn sick and faint in my chair.
I was holding the baby, and I could not jump. And if I pushed him down he would have cried at the top of his lungs for an hour. So I ran and emptied the sugar out on the dining-room table, and sat him down there, and the children came running in, and I shut them all in, like flies in a molasses jug, and went back and got down on my knees by Hiram.
"You've had another?" said I, and I said it fast and hot.
"Yes," said Hiram; but he said it slowly.
"Worse?"
"The worst one yet. I was helping about a barrel. Don't worry, Paulette; I've got over it now; it was three hours back. I was only pushing a little at the barrel."
"Dincks shouldn't have let you!" said I.
"Dincks wasn't in," said he. "He'd just run over to the office. The boy couldn't do it alone. It was flour. I choked and fell, I think. It wasn't so much the bleeding as the faint. They took me into the counting-room, and I lay across two chairs till I got over it. I'm quite over it now, Paulette. My lung isn't very sore. I wish Paulette, that you wouldn'—"
And there before my eyes, he choked and dropped again.
Well, I got him to bed. He wouldn't listen to a doctor. We couldn't afford it, he said, and we couldn't. And what could he do? and what could I? So I got him to bed myself, and I declared I couldn't tell which worried me the most for an hour or so, that Hiram was going into the consumption, or what a colic those children were getting over the sugar-bowl! But that, I suppose, was because I am prosy. Four children with colic, to a prosy person, seems at the time of it so much worse than anything else that can possibly happen.
By one o'clock he was over it. He slept, I think, and had a cup of tea, and roused quite bright and strong. So he sat up in bed, and finished his sentence:—
"—Wouldn't worry," said he, beginning where be left off.
"Dear me!" said I, for he frightened me.
I came and set down on the edge of the bed. I was tired enough to drop, and worried enough to cry.
"Don't! said he.
"I don't mean to," said I.
"No," said he, "I know you don't." And then he lay back again upon the pollow.
"Hiram," said I, "it might just as well come now as any other time."
"Just as well," said Hiram.
"It's better than to worry along so."
"A great deal better," said Hiram.
"You must tell Dincks to-morrow."
"I shall," said he; "I'll disolve partnership this week — if I knew who was going to support the family."
"I'll support the family," said I. "For who would if I couldn't? I'll support the family if you'll only go to sleep."
"Very well," said Hiram; and I don't suppose he had the least doubt of it. he turned over and went to sleep.
Hiram went to sleep; but I didn't. The children cried till three. From three to six I sat up in the rocking-chair to think. There was just so much thinking to do, you see, and I can't think very well unless the house is still — perhaps I don't think often enough to know how — and it's never still at our house except when all the children are asleep. So I sat in the rocking-chair till six; and at six it was time to build the fires.
By this time I had it settled. Hiram saw as much when he waked and looked around. I think Hiram had a great deal of confidence in me if there was anything to be settled; and that's more than you can say of most men: at any rate, if a man's wife can make good muffins, and doctor the children through whooping cough, he doesn't generally expect much more of her; at least, that's the way with men about here. But my husband is different.
After breakfast (he ate a little gruel himself, while I crumbed in the children's milk), he says: —
"Well, Paulette?"
And I said. "I've got it, Hiram."
"I'm very glad," said he, with a dreadfully worried sigh; he looked most too worried to be very glad. He asked me to sit up on the bed and tell him all about it, and to send the children off so I know how worried he must have been. So I sat up on the bed and I told him my plan, for I'd got it very clear to myself, between three and six, and it didn't take half a minute.
"Hiram," said I, "I can't teach."
"No," said Hiram: I don't think you could."
"Even if Sarah Pratt hadn't the district, for a year to come; and her mother blind; and her father with that leg."
"Yes," said Hiram.
"And plain sewing wouldn't earn our salt."
"I don't see how it could," said Hiram. "There are so many of us. It never did seem to me before, Paulette, as if there were so many."
"It never did to me." said I. "And now," said I, "I'll tell you how I've got it. I'm going to take the business."
"The what?" said he.
"The business," said I.
"Whose?" said he.
"Yours!" said I.
"Well, I never!" said he.
"Of course you never," said I; "you never had the chance to."
"But W. I.," said Hiram. "If it had been dry goods without W. I.!"
"As if I couldn't manage all the W. I. groceries there are in the store?" said I.
"Why, yes," said Hiram, "as if you could not! Well, I never!" said he.
"But Dincks wouldn't have another clerk," said Hiram; "you couldn't make him put up with the putter of more than one clerk round, if it were to save his soul. Dincks is set."
"Dincks is sensible," said I, "and so am I. Do you think, I should like to know, that I'm going to support the family from being any of Dincks' clerks?"
"I don't know, I'm sure," said Hiram, "what you're going to do."
"I'm going into partnership, to be sure," said I.
"You're not though," said Hiram. Then he raised himself upon his elbow and began to look so bright!
"I'm going into partnership," said I, "in dry goods and groceries with Frank Dincks. I'm going to buy you out (I can borrow you out, at least,) and pay you any interest you'll name."
(It was the first time Hiram had laughed since the attack came on.)
"But," said he, "I believe a business contract between husband and wife won't hold. It seems to me a wife can't legally make a contract anyhow; something like it; what of that, now?"
"You can make a wife a present, I suppose?" said I.
"Of all I'm worth? Why, yes. That will do. What else, Paulette? I guess we could get over that. What else?"
"Then," said I, "I'm going to add that five hundred of mine that father gave me."
"No, you're not," said Hiram; "I won't touch that"
"Nobody wants you to touch it," said I. "I'm going to add that five hundred if Dincks needs to be bought over. In fact I don't know but I shall, any way. The shop needs an entrance on South street, and the candy ought to be Southmayd's, every stick of it, and the balmorals Frank Dincks gets are enough to scare trade clear the other side of the river! Now, Hiram!"
"Oh, dear me, Paulette!" said Hiram.
"Of course its dear you," said I, "or I shouldn't be doing it. Now, Hiram, I understand dry goods and groceries, don't I?"
"You've always understood everything I understood," said Hiram.
Hiram is an honest man.
"And I can make money on it, can't I?"
"Of course you can," said he.
"Then I'm going to do it," said I.
"But you'll get molasses on your dress! Oh, dear me!" said Hiram.
"As if I never got molasses on my dress at home!" said I. "I'm going to see Dincks this minute;" and I got up and put on my bonnet.
He never said a word, and he looked pleased.
I'd got my bonnet on and got to the door. Then I stopped. There was one thing he hadn't thought of, and I couldn't go without its coming up, and I couldn't seem to bring it up. He was lying with his eyes shut — as pale as chalk — and smiling to himself.
"Well, Paulette?" for he saw I waited round.
"I suppose you see" —
"That I've got to be housekeeper? O yes. I saw that at the first. When I get up from this, I can manage very well. It's not like lifting hogsheads. I'll see to that. Don't you mind that.
But I did mind it. I couldn't help it. To see him lie so patiently and take it in — for I knew he took it in. To wash the dishes, and run after the children, and set the table, and chop the hash, and do all the little fussy, fretty, worry ing woman's jobs! After being brought up to be a man! If he hadn't been brought up, it wouldn't have seemed so, for its bringing up that makes the dif ference to my mind, and i declare I minded it a minute — couldn't help it — till Hiram called me back and kissed me.
"My dear," said he, "you've done it all your life for me. If I've lost the power to go to the store, and you've got it, I hope I'm man enough, Paulette, to be a good housekeeper. Now run and see Dincks as quick as you can! You're such a hand to see to things, Paulette!"
Now, how many men do you know would have done that? I never saw an other one. I don't think there is an other man in the world like Hiram.
"We'll get you well between us!" said I, half laughing and half crying too, "and if I do pretty well, we'll hire Mary Smith, and you shall go off somewhere and board a fortnight in a four-dollar-a-day hotel for a change! Or perhaps the the mountains, Hiram, in our old buggy, with Mr. Perkins' Jim!"
And with that, I was off to the store, and Hiram's face went with me, with such a settled look, it makes me wicked to think back and remember now.
Now I'd known Frank Dincks ever since I was a baby. I saved him from drowning on the mill-pond and I beat him at the skating match in '56. Dincks was the last man to make me trouble.
"It's an idea," said he. He was sit- ting on a flour-barrel with his feet on the counter, when I went in to tell him. "It's not a bad idea;" he took down his feet. "Some people would think it wasn't a woman's sphere, but I don't make so much of that against the smash-up of the firm. It's too old a firm. I'll think about it, and come over to-night. Tell Hiram not to worry. I'd as lief have you as him as far as I know, any day. I'll be over this even- ing, tell him."
Now what do you think Dincks had to say when he came over that evening, Hiram and I sitting so bright and happy, talking the new plans over in the dark?
You'd never guess it, I know, nor would I, and I've lived in Massachusetts all my life. Dincks never did himself, till that very night. The minute he came in, I knew something was wrong.
"It's a shame, I declare," said he; he sat down while I lighted up, and he looked at Hiram in a worried sort of way.
"Fact is, it can't be done!" said Dincks.
"I should like to know why not?" said I. I was so disappointed and taken all aback, I declare, I set the baby on the table, and put the lamp into the crib and tucked it up.
"The laws of the State of Massachusetts forbid it," said Frank Dincks. "I've been over to see Bean about it. It's a fact. A married woman cannot carry on business in partnership with any one. That's one of the improvements our Legislatures make in these days. There isn't a crook nor a corner by which we could get you in, and Bean tried his best for half an hour. You couldn't be my partner with nor without your husband's consent. I declare it is too bad," said Dincks.
"I'll get a divorce!" said I, for I was angry.
"Well, well," said Hiram, "we must think of something else."
But we both could see how hard he took it. Frank Dincks got up and went away.
"Oh, Hiram!" said I, when he'd shut the door. "I wish you hadn't married a woman!"
"Well. well, well," said he, tired half to death, and coughing too, "it can't be helped."
I suppose he meant the laws.
That was a year ago. We've never thought of anything else. We're living on our principal — yes, of course, and what there'll be left to live on soon wouldn't board a chicken, I can tell you. I never saw a man so changed, and worn, and worried out, in one year's time, as Hiram Bent is. Giving up that shop, and fretting for those children, are rasping him to death. I'm so down-hearted and disheartened myself, that I declare, I don't know how to pull along. Hiram's lung is in a dreadful state. We're most worn out, and it doesn't seem as if we saw an inch ahead or ever should.
It can't be helped. Can't it? We sent to Boston to a lawyer with a bigger name than Bean. He said it couldn't. Well, I don't know. If that's the kind of law that men have for women, I don't know about its not being helped. Nor Hiram either.
I never thought to see the day when I should say: Shame to the Old Bay State! But I write it down, and I write it down again: Shame on the Old Bay State, for the laws its men have made! And I could have told you in the first place, when you asked me for a story (I'm such a prosy person), that that was all I had to say.

they were to have been made one there
sprung up a breeze which soon blew into
a cloud that burst upon them in resist-
less fury, and they parted in anger.
Both were proud and haughty, and in
stead of acting like sensible people —
burying the hatchet and going on with
the wedding — they nursed their anger
and resentment, until finally the young
man moved into another part of the
country, where he met another woman
whom he married. A few years later he
moved to the Pacific coast, and in time
became a citizen of Oregon.
The young woman, finding that she had lost her love, fitted herself for the occupation of a teacher and wont to Iowa, where she engaged in teaching school. Years rolled along, and brought many changes, but none to the heart of the Yankee schoolmarm, who was a general favorite in the community in which she resided, and she received a number of good offers to change her name. She remained true to her first love, and cherished in her heart the image of him she had loved and lost. Fifteen years passed by, and then the schoolmarm joined a family that was emigrating from the vicinity of where she had been residing to Oregon, and in due time she arrived here and endeav ored to procure employment in her pro- fession, but met with indifferent success, and finally determined to accept employ ment as a domestic until she could do better.
Shortly after making this resolution she was offered a position in the family of a gentleman and accepted it, but the first time she saw the head of the family recognized in him her former lover. The recognition was mutual, and of course the lady could not remain. Her old lover, who had grown rich, furnished her with funds, and she went to San Francisco, where she obtained a posi- tion in the School Department of that city.
About eighteen months ago the wife of the gentleman died, after having been in feeble health for some years. After a while the widower wrote to his old flame, telling her of his loss. She replied with a letter of consolation, and a correspon dence sprung up between them, and finally the widower made a proposal to the lady that they bury their old differ ences and consummate the engagement of their younger days. The woman who had loved so steadily and so long signi fied her willingness, and a couple of months ago our friend proceeded to San Francisco and led his first love to the alter. They returned to Oregon, and are now residing on one of the mast beautiful farms in the Willamette Valley. — Portland Bulletin.

Orowx most abundantly and per- i lecny in v apiungion couniy. PROPERTIES, ETC.: It contains an Active and Volatile Principle. extracted by Ether, and c bitter Tonic Prin ciple. MEDICAL PROPERTIES AND USES: It 1? the most sure and speedy cure for Rheumatism, Rheumatic flout and Rheumatic Pains of all kinds that was ever Introduced Into the Materia Medica. The UNK WEED REM EDY, us prepared by us. In consequence of the existing bitter principle, possesses the neces sary virtue of being it I?o"wciiiil Tonic, Promoting the Appetite and Invigorating the while Digestive Apparatus, thus building up and strengthening the system, while at the same time thu volatile principle, being ab sorbed In the blood, acts specifically on the luicumaiic roison, removing it irom me circu lation and system. There are tew remedies known to the Medical Profi-sslon which will remove the Rheumatic Poison from the moon, but wnose action is so powerful In depressing the system of the al ready enfeebled Rheumatic patient, that their use has to be abandoned before specific effects nrc obtainable, mid hence the want of success In treating this prevalent and consequently heretofore Incurable disease. Unlike the.su medicines, already known, the UNK WEED REMKDY.althousli producing as active and as powerful effects on the blood and system in re moving me iiiicumaiici'oisou,nisit possesses a strom: Tonic and Recuperatlnc Element which admits of its continued usu even by the most del Irate and debilitated. Thus we have the combination for the nrst time of these two necessary elements In one remedy, which ac counts forltssuiieriornudncver-falllngcurative eiieeis in iineumatism, luicumaiic uout and Rheumatic Tains of all kinds.
