9 TQE WIFE'S WAGEJS. Well, Nettie, what do you want?' lid Mr. Jarvu to nu wife, wbo stood voking rattier anxiOQslj at him, after be fad paid the factory bands their week eel X.itomL "Wby. uonaiu, auiu mid, x mougui had wornoa ior you uu iae woen 1 ntild come in for iny wages, too. You , Jane S'2 a week; surely I earn that ,j I would like Tory much to have it as Af own. l 8U8W, liutuc, uuw i iuil uiuiis JUU ilk. iou know tnat an x nave belong) , vou and the children and don't I fur ish the boufo and everything? What uderthesun wonia you no with the Is Inner if vou had it?" 9 " I , t . .1 'I know, isonaiu, mm jou uuy me cccHsaries for us all, and I am willing tat you should uo so stui, but 1 should k a little money of my very own. We ,ivo been married tifUion years, and in ill that timo I do not seem to have earned dollar, as iur as muiiey m concernou, might as well be a slave. I cannot buy nuart of berries, or a book, without skinir vou for tho money, and I would tn lia a little more independent." iv . . t . Mr. Jams, proprietor of Jams mills t orth thousands and thousands of dol us, laughed dorisivoly. "You'ro a fine ono to talk of indepon lonco, said lie. n you would start lit to make your own living you d ictcii pat the poor-house soon enough, for . - V . n mi lint couiu you uu to turn a living r xne iris in the factory know how to do their ork and thoy earn the wages. When I nve paid them off my duty is done, but have to board and clothe you, and like care of you when you are sick. If T - ..T.a .1 . -V a . bad to do tuat ior tne gins x would Save precious little money left, X cau -w " ft 11 vou. T" . a a. 1 1 1 "Donald, X gave up a goou irauo wiien married vou. t or nve years x Lad sup- lorted myself by it, and many a time ince I have envied myself in the purse if those days. As for not earning anything iow, I leave it to you to say whether it i ould be possiblo to biro another to take ny place; and bow much do you think It would cost to be without me a year 7 I now the irirls have little after pavinfir !'' lheir exponses, but they enjoy that little '!. So much. Allie Watson supports bersolf ' ,: 'and mother with her wages, and they both dross better than I do. Jennie Hart is lielping her father to pay the mortgage pn his farm, and sue is so nappy tuat sno an do so. Even Jane, tue kitcUf n girl, ms more freedom than I, for out of her )wn money she is laying by presents for ior relatives, and will send tiioin unrist nas, as much to her own pleasure as hairs. Yesterday an Indian woman was it the bouse with such liandsome bead Ivork to sell, and, although I wanted ome money so much I bad not a dol ar! I felt like crying when Jane irought in her week's wages and bought iuil a dozen of articles x wanted so .iuucli. You often say that all you have s mine, but $5 would have given me noro pleasure yesterday than your liuu ilreds of thousands of dollars' worth of roperty did." "ao doubt ol that, Mrs. jams, iou tare no idea of tho value of money, and would have enjoyed buying a lot of bead krash that would not be worth a cent to nvbody. Jane needs a guardian if she fools away her money like that. She will be in the county poor house yet if Bhe Ion t look out. it s very lucky, indeed, that the meu do hold the money, for there's not one woman in a hundred who knows how to use it ?" 0"fcor Bliamo, Lonaid jarvis! iou Know better. Look at Jerry and Milly Creg, will you, and say that be makes the best use of his money. She is at home with her parents every night, making her wages go as far as possiblo toward making them comfortable, while bo is carousing in the village, wasting his time and money, and making a brute of himself besides. And why does Mrs. Sarton come to receive her husband's wages herself? Simply because he cannot get by the saloon with money in his pockot, and if Bhe did not get tho money they would all go hungry to bed after his wages were paid. And I believe that every woman who cams money here, spends it as wisoly as tho average man, and I have yet to hear of one of them bo ing in debt." Mr. Jarvis know that he could not gainsaya word bis wife had said, for they were all true. Luckily he thought of Jane. "Well, bow much do you supposo Jane will havo loft when Now Year comes? If she would got sick how long could she pay for such care as you have?" "It is not likely she will lay up many dollars out of a hundred a year; but she is laying up something better, I think. Last winter she sent her mother a warm Bhawl and a pair of shoes, and to her brother and sister new school books, and the warm, loving letters they send her do more good than twice the amount of money in the bank would. This year she is is laying away a number of useful and pretty things for them, and should any thing happen to Jane they would be too glad to help her." "Well, who do you suppose would help you if you needed help?" said. Mr. Janis for want of a better question. Mrs. Jarvis' eyes sparkled angrily as she answered: "Xobody. If you should lose your property to-day, I should be a beggar, without a claim on any one for help. You have always held "so tightly your purse strings that it has been hard enough to ask for my own necessities, leaving others out altogether. Many a time a dollar or, two would have enabled me to do some poor man or woman un told good, but although you have always said that all your property was mine, I never could and cannot now command a dollar of it." "Lucky you couldn't, if you wanted to pend it on beggars." "Donald, you know that J would spend money as wisely as you do. Who was it that, only last week, gave a poor, lame beggar 85 to pay his way to Burton, and then saw him throw his crutches away and make for the nearest saloon? Your Wife cnnl.l nnt A.i vrvrw if trnstetl with ft ' few dollars. You say that the money is all mine, yet you spend as you please, hile I cannot spend a dollar without asking you for it and telling what I want it for. Any beggar can get it in the ameway! Christmas you bought pre enta for ua and eipeoted us to be grate ful for them. Aahawl for me the very eolor I cannot wear, ft aet of furs for lncy that she did not need, a drum -for i Robin thathasbean a nuisance ever since, and ft lot of worthless toys that are broken up in week. There were 810 or $50 of my money just the same as thrown away; yet when I ask you to trust me with 82 ft week, you cannot imagine what use I have for it, and fear it will be wasted. I am sure I could not spend $50 more foolishly if I tried to." "Woll," anappod the proprietor, "I guess it ia my own money, and I can spend it as I ploose. I guess you'll kuow it, too, when you get another present." "Oli, it is your money, then. I ntider stood you to say that it was all mine, and pretended to protest against your spend ing it so foolishly. If it is your own of course you have a right to speud ttasyoit please, but it seems to me that a woman who left parents and brothers and sinters and all her friends, to mako a home for you among strangers, a woman who has given her whole life to you for fifteen years, may be looked upon with as much favor as yon give to beggars, who are very likeiy to be impostors. I know that you seldom turn them off without help Perhaps I would be more successful if J appealed to you as a beggar. I might say: Kind sir, please allow mo out of your abundant means a small pittonco for my comfort? It is true I have enough to eat, and do not suffer for clothing but, although I work for rav niusUr from morning till night, and if his chil drcu happen to be sick, from night till morning again, yet he docs not pay mo as mucu as lie docs las cook, and X am often grcatlv distressed for want of trilling sum which he would not mind giving to a perfect stranger. The other day whilo ho was from home I had to go to the next station to seo a dear friend who was ill, and not having a dollar of my own was obliged to borrow the money from his cook. I was so morti iiedl And not long since the berry woman came with such nice borries to sell, and my little girl, w ho was 'not well, wantod some very badly, but X had not even five cents to pay for a handful for her. Yesterday a friend came to ask me to assist in a work of charity. It was a worthy object, and I longed so much to give a littlo monoy for so good a pur poso, but though the wife of so rich a man X had no money. VI course X might ask my husband for money, aud I told him about what X wanted of it, and he approved of my purpose, and was in good humor, ho would give it to me, but, sir, it is terribly slavish to have to do so, evon if I could run to him every time I wanted anything, People say I am a fortunate woman because X am rich; but I often envy tho factory girls their ability to earn and spend their own money. And sometimes X get so wild thinking of my helplessness that if it were not for mv children I think I would drop into the river and end it all." Nettie! Aettia Jarvis what are vou savine? cried the startled liusband at last, for the far-awayfook in her oyos as ii sue din not see aim, uui was looting to some higher power to help her, touched his pride if it did not his heart, for ho had a good deal of pride in a sel fish sort of way. He was proud to be ablo to support his family as well as ho did. lie was proud tnat w lien Lis elm dren neodod new shoes he could tell his wife to take them to Crispin's and get what they needed. He did it with a flourish. He was not one of those stingy kind: he liked to spend money; and when Nettie, who was once the most spirited young lady of his acquaintance, came meekly to him for a dress or a cloak, he was sometimes tempted to refuse her money just to show her how helpless she was without him. Yes he was proud of his family, and wanted them to foel how much they dependod upon him. He would have felt aggra- ated if anyone Had left liis who a leg acy, thus allowing her to be Ireo in her praiso. The idea of her earning money, as his other work-folks did, never entered his mind. He "supported her," that was his idea of their relation! He never had happened to think that it was ery good of her to take ins money and pend it for the good of himself and children. He never had thought that any other woman would have wantod big pay for doing it. He had even thought himself very generous for allow ing hor money to get tilings to mate lier family comfortable. Things began to look differently to him just now. Could it be that he was not generous, not even just to his wife! Hail he paid her so poorly for her hltecn years oi laitniui labor for him that if she had boen obliged to begin the world for herself that dav it would liave been as a penni less woman, notwithstanding the houses, the lands and tho mills that be had so often told her wore all hers; for he knew, as every one else did, that not one dollar of all ho had would tho law allow her to call her own. How fast he thought, standing there at the office window, looking down the little houses whore the mill hands lived. Could be that he was not as good a man as he thought ? He had felt deeply the wrongs of the slave, wlioBe labors bail been appropriated bytheir masters, and when a neero who had worked twenty years for his master before the emanci- - . i V pation freed mm came 10 uarviu min friendless and penniless, the heart of the proprietor swelled with indignation at such injustice. He was eloquent on the ubiect at home ana aoroau, anu won dered how any one could be so cruel and selfish as to commit such an outrage gainst justice. He bad called him a robber many a time, but now Donald Jarvis looked to himself very much like the old slaveholder ! Massa Brown had taken the proceeds of Cuffee's labor for his own without even a "tnanK you ior it. True, when Cuffee ate he had given im food, when he was sick he had given him medicine, and he hail clothed him, too, just as he himself thought best. Mr. Jarvis had marriedalovely, conscien tious woman, and for fifteen years had rinroDriated her labors. Xler recompense had been food and clothes, such as he thought best for her; a little better than Cuffee's, perhaps, but the similarity of the puses did not please him. He had expected bis wife to be tery grateful for what he had done for her, but now he wondered that she had not rebelled long azo Had his life been a mistake ? Had is wife no more money or nueny uian Cuffee had in bondage? Was Donald Jarvis no better than Maeaa Brown ? His brain seemed to be in a muddle, and he looked ao atrangely nis wile, anxious to break the spell, took his arm, laving, "Let ns go home, dear; tea must i bo waiting for ua." He put on hit bat in dreamy way and then walked home in silence. Tho children ran joyously to meet them. The yard waa ao fresh and green and the flowers ao many and bright that he wondered be had never thanked Nettie for them all. Hitherto he had looked upon them at his, but now he felt that his interest iu them waa only a few dollars, that would not have amonnteu to anytning wuuoui uis wue i care. His children wero tidy and swoet, and everything around and in the house had that cheery look tuat restoa mm so after the hard, dull day at tho mill. They sat again at the table that had been a source of comfort and pleasure to him for to many years, and ha wondered how be could havo enjoyed it to long with out even thanking the woman who had provided it. True, she had his monoy in bringing it all about, but how else could his money be of use to him? Who else could Lave turned it into just what he needed for years? And he began to have an undefined fooling that it took more thai) money to mako a home. Ho glancod at his wife's faco as ho buttered his lost slice of bread. It was not that of tho fair, rosy brido whom he had brought to tho mills years before, but at that moment he realized it was fur more dear to him, for he know that sho had given the bloom and fresh ness of her youth to mako her homo what it was. His daughters had her rose-leaf cheeks, his sons her youthful beauty, all had her cheerful, wlnsomo ways, and comforted him now as she had in thoso days w hen, hardly knowing what care meant, she had lived for him alone. And a now thought came to him: "Who was comforting her now, w hen sho had so much care?" Was not that what he had promised to do when when he brought her from her old home? He sighed as he thought how far he had drifted from her whilo in bondago equal to Cuffee's. Nay, he felt that her chains wcro far more binding than that which hud ever hold tho negro, and that his obligations to her wore so much greater. Something called tho children out of doors, and Mr. Jarvis took his easy chair. His wifo came and stood beside him. "I fear you are not well, Donald; aroyou displeased with me?" lie drew hor into his arms and told nor how hor words had showed him what manner of man he was, aud there woro words spoken that need not bo written, but from that day forth a different man was proprietor of tho Jarvis mill, and there was a brighter light in Mrs. Jarvis' eyes, for at last sue iiau sometuing oi her own, nor has sho regretted that sho "applied for wagOB. Royal People. Mr. Archibald Forbes, the oolebratod English war correspondent, has a lecture entitled "The Koyal Peoplo I Havo Mot." Any of us could prepare a lecture ou that themo, for wo have mot lots ot royal people. There was ono in ali ttle town in California some years ago, named Zach Taylor, who for years lived on the charity of the citizens. Suddenly amysierious thief commenced devasta ting the town. Blunkets and flannels were stolen from tho stores, vegetables and fruit from the gardens, fresh meat from the butchers, and, though every body suffered, the thief could not be caught. At last, ono morning, a horse man dashed into the villago, and calling crowd around him, stated that the widow of a man who had been killed a month before by the Indians was with five little children living iu an old and abandoned cabin half a mile out of town. A rush was made for the cabin, the wo man and children found, and when asked how long they bad been there aud how they had lived, tho woman answered: "e have been hero five wooks, and would have starved except that an old gentleman brought us everything we needed, more than we needed, indeed, and I would not have accepted so much had he not told me that bis stock was inexhaustible." When asked to describe the old gentleman, sho hud not spoken a dozen words until, botween laughing and crying, half a dozen of tho listeners criod: "Old Zack." The woman was moved into town and her wants supplied, and there was no more losses sufforod from the thief. The great-hearted bumnior and Christian thief had taken care of the family, and hud doue it because. doBpito of the dry- rot and the whisky which had benumbed his energies, his soul, deep down, was royal to the core. In a mining camp in Nevada we once heard two minerB con versing. The older ono said: "Some bloody thief has stolen the mattross from our bed, and our best pair of blank ets." The other answered : "Never mind, we can cut some bushes; that will answer as well as the mattrass, and we do not need tho blankets; we have slopt too warm of late." A month later it transpired that a poor woman who, with a baby, lived not far away, revealed the fact that tho younger man had, one morning, suddenly opened the door, tossed in tho mattrass. and blanket, and, closing the door, gone away without say ing a word. Ue did it because lie was one of the "royal people." These are samples. Their numbers are limitless. They made the coast golden more than the treasures taken from the hills. They sleep, most of them, in forgotten graves. In tne canyons, on the hillsidos, under the pines; they dio and make no sign; but because they have lived human na ture has been made better wherever their influenco extended, and that, in the boisterous camps of the coast such spirits exist, is a proof that the hope it not vain that by and by the human race will be a brothorhood. and that to every man in distress every other man will be a neighbor. Salt Lake Tribune. What He Did at MguU "Tell me how a vounit man spends his evenings, and I will tell you how he will spend his life." It is a wise saying, for the leisure hours of a young man are his dangerous hours, and make or mar his character lor life. Towards the close of the last century, a boy was apprenticed to a tobacconist in New York City. He did not know bow to read or write or cipher. Neither his occupation nor his associations favored his purpose; but he determined to learn bat tome one naa wittuy caiieu me three B'a reading, 'riting, 'rithmetic. After working twelve hours, he spent his evenings, not aa bit fellow appren tice! did, iu amusements, but in study ing the spelling-book and tne arunmeuc, and in copying letters and syllables ani wordt. In year or two he became proficient in ineae element oi an education. Then he began iht study of French. When he could read in that language he took np German. His father was a French man and his mother a German a fact which, doubtless, explain! why be made ine tiuuy oi meso two languages.
