A few, who “ used ” the house regularly, called for their scores, on entering, and settled up for the past seven days.

They passed into the yard, out at the great iron gates. A few proceeded to their homes, but the greater portion were hastening to the public-houses and beer shops. A group of eight or ten. Richard Gould being one, halted in consultation as to which house should be favored with their company, and finally it was demded to honor the Pig and Whistle, down by the new bridge.

The first thing the wind did, was to take the “crazy old umbrella," and turn it inside out.

In the next cottage to theirs, lived a man iof the name of Reed, an inferior workman.â€" Mrs. Reed was an tribulation more dire than Jessy’s, and was audibly lamenting that this was Saturday night, and that Reeduhad gone a-drinking again. She knew to her cost, the propensity he had to"go a-drinking,” not only on Saturday nights, but on others. The first step was to go after him, and try to get him home before he was too far gone, and half his week’s money spent. She threw a, shawl over her gown, put on her bonnet, blew 1 out the candle,'le{t the bit of fire safe, and opened the door.
