you collect my income, nixl I never
have a cent tor any purpose, ex
cept when I ask you for it. It seems
to me that if you cared for me in
the least, you could not subject
me to such humiliation. Look at
these slippers; 1 have worn beyond
all decent use, because I could not
ask for the money necessary to buy
new ones. 1 feel it a degradation,
just as you would, if you were in
my place.
Could you endure it, if I had
the money and you bad none, only
as you got it by asking me for it?
I ued to teach siv hours, and had
the whole remaining day for my
pleasure. Xow all my time is oc
cupied; I have neither money nor
leisure, and I feel just like a beg
gar or pauper and I wished I were
dead." Then she burst into tears,
and cried as though her heart would
break.
With an immense sense of re
lief, he asked: "Is that all?"
"All," said she. "It is enough to
kill any woman."
The dreadful fear that she had
ceased to love him, or that she
loved some one else, lied. The
whole matter was talked over with
the largest freedom, until the hus
band said he seemed to himself to
have been unsneakablv mean.
"To think" said he" "that I had

which she said she needed to buy
pins, or the six cents necessary lor
shoe-strings, and had not once
thought she must need more lor
other things, while all her time
was devoted to .make a comfort
able home for me!". As a result
of the explanation, the husband
every week put a sum of money
double what his wife thought she
would need, where she could get
it wit hout asking.
The young wife's face grew glad
again. The feeling of pauper and
beirgar vanished. The end of the
year showed a bank account of
seven hundred dollars in the- name
of the. wife, saved carefully from
the money she had not needed to

A Story of Xew York
The Xew York correspondent
of the Chicago Trihune tells this
story of life in Xew York, which
may or may not be true, but there
is reason to believe that it is a type
of a peculiar phase of our fashiona
ble society:
"About forty years ago a young
man came to this city without ed
ucation, money, or friends, his sole
capital being a ragged constitution,
large industry, and a hopeful or
ganization, lie M as not long in
obtaining a situation as porter in a
shipping house on fSouth street, and
he showed so much industry and
intelligence and general capacity,
that before twelve months had pass
ed, he was promoted. Jn ten
years he had an interest in the
firm ; in twenty he was at the head
of the house, and possessor of a lib
eral fortune. Meanwhile, he had
married a young woman greatly
his superior in position and culture,
who would not have affected him
naturally, had she not been so poor
that she" had to teach for a liveli
hood. She had suffered much from
indigence, and the consequence
was, that she regarded want of
money7 and wretchedness as cause
and effect. After marriage, her
circumstances were all aflluent,"
even luxurious; and yet, when her
two daughters, near the same age,
had arrived at maturity, she was
never willing that any man, how
ever descrying, should be the suitor
of either, unless he was rich. The
girls were comely, amiable, and
quite agreeable, and might have
been the wives of worthy and clev
er gentlemen in independent posi
tions, but for the opposition of
their mother.
Again and again Mrs. de
clared she would never consent to
receiving as a son-in-law any can
didate for the poor-house, and aver
ing that he who aspired to such a
position must possess property
valued at half a million.
Just before the war, a young
Frenchman came here with letters
of int roduction, claiming to be the
son of a wealthy wine deaIer,of 1 'or
deaux. Among1 other houses he
visited was that of the now retired
South street merchant. lie paid
court to tlic elder daughter (we
will call her Ellen), assumed to In
violently in love with her, and in
less than six months thev were
both married. The bridegroom
was anxious to take his wife to
France, that his father might see
what charming women America
contained.
They went abroael, a gay party
seeing them oil and dismissing
them to a happy honeymoon. Tin
bride, alter leaching Europe very
frequently wrote to her father foi
money, though he had liberally
supplied her on setting out, always
giving special reasons why she was

but little more than twelve months,
when the whole truth came out in
her letters written home.

turer; lie had lived in Kordeaux
but his father was not a wine mer
chant, nor, ineleed, did he know
who his father v, as. His letters of
int roel action had beer, forged, and,
in truth, forgery was his only pro
fession, having been .several times
arrested, and narrowly escaped im
prisonment for that crime.
As soon as he had reached the
Continent, he had gambled away
whatever money his wife had, and
then compelleel her to write home
feir more. He not only neglected
and was disloal to her, but he
abused her savagely, and even beat
her, all of which she bore without
the least complaint.
At last he deserted her, leaving
her, almost penniless in Paris.
Then she disclosed what I have re
lated, and returned to New York,
a miserable and broken-hearted
woman, dying two years after her
desertion."

A Gifted Memnhis Lawyer Who ed
ited Two Papers, IJoth Daily.
An antiquated writer in the
Memphis Appeal lias dug up out
of his memory the following rich
story. T h e y o u i j g 1 a w y e r re fe rr cd
to is still flourishing in Memphis:
"There never was greater local ex
citement than that which grew
out of this infernal navy-yard busi
ness. Half thv .peov.Ie were in fa
vor of accepting the property, and
half or more opposed to it, the lat
ter thinking that the Government
might be induced even yet to make
liberal appropriations and perfect
the navy-yard, and build ships and
steamers here. There were two
newspapers published here one a
morning publication, edited by a
gentleman of no ordinary ability
named Hankhead, who v.-as tragic
ally and mysteriously assassinated
some six years ago. There was
another, an afternoon paper, called
the JYctcs, ( believe that was its
name), edited by7 a man named
Yancey. These editors opposed
one another on the navy-yard ques
tion, and their discussion had be
gotten a good deal of excitement,
when both went away for the sum
mer, and each without the other's
knowledge employed the same man,
this young lawyer, to conduct his
paper in his absence. The vouu,r
limb of the law naturally enough
took to both sides of the question,
lie made the controversy between
the two papers hotter and hotter
oil each successive day. Crowds
gathered each afternoon about the
Acvf office, and somebody expect
ed that the two furious editors
would shed blood. The coming
duel in Arkansas was confidently
anticipated, and the ferocity of the
two papers was marvelous. Pop
ular excitement was intense when
Eankhead came hurrying home
from Virginia and Yancey from
Alabama, each thinking the other
was about to murder his own sub
stitute. Such was the fervor of
popular feeling and exasperation
that the story was necessarily kept
quiet. If tlu; mischievous fraud
upon the public passion had been
exposed at the time, the deceiving
editor would have been hanged te
a lamp-post.
Woman's Influence.
The famous Philadelphia lawyer.
David Paul Brown, wound up a
temperance discourse lately deliv
ered by him with the following
eloquent t rut lis :
In approaching the conclusion
of this imperfect discourse, allow
me to say, there is no greater safe
guard to sobriety and general re
spectability, no stronger evidence
ed their existence than devotion
to well regulated female society.
1 have yet to see the early devotee
to such society who has ever prov
ed a drunkard. But upon the
other hand, an exclusive attach
ment, especially among the young
men, to their own sex seems to be
an almost inevitable ruin. They
seem to lose their humanity. The
eye of the world is no longer upon
them; bewildered in their infernal
orgies, in the dark recesses of some
temporal pandemonium they stim
ulate each other in their downward
journey by mutual pledges and po
tations, forget a heart-broken
mother, a deserted wife, a blighted
sister, or tender children, doomed
to worse than orphanage; they for
get themselves. Indeed it would
seem almost impossible for their
intemperance to obtain access to
highly cultivated female society;
in order thereto refinement, intelli
gence and virtue are necessary,
and if they even were not the sub
duing and chastening influence of
such an association would soon im
part them, and thereby teach men
what may be called the pride of
virtuc,which isvii hue's surest shield.
The companionship of virtuous
women i the best voucher for
any man's sobriety and worth. In
aristocratic countries, England, for
instance, a duchess marries a ple
beian: he is still a plebeian. A
duke marries a dairy-maid, ami she
becomes a duchess. But we man
age these affairs much better here.

Do People Head Advertisements?
There is now and then a person fo stu
pid as to believe that advertisements in
tbe newspapers are not generally read,
and that money expanded in advertising
is practically wasted. Even such will
concede that if a hundred men of poiite
address, oftluent speech and ready wit
were to call daily or weekly each upon
an hundred others and get the ears of each
long on ongh to say Jno, Smith, or Jones,
cr Thompson at such a place, has such
and such goods at such prices, or would
sell a farm, or house and lot, or had lost
a horsfi er pocket-book, or would loan
money, t ic we s;;y snch men will con
cede that the service:; of this one hundred
men would be of great value to Smith or
Jones, and in curie measure advantageous
to the parly to whom this statement was
made. Thh hundred men cannot hi em
ployed to fro from door to door and make
this ftiiteraenl to tea thousand people at
less thr.n a co:.t of re-vend hundred dollars
each trip. All litis is done by the news
papers at, a coct of a few shillings, cr
a few Cellars at most, and the vkits are
made week after week, day after day.
The messenger who travels addresses him
self to the e.:r and tahe-i the party ad
dre.sscd wiiea he may Ini-e his thoughts
al:urbed in business cr othsr matters;
but the newspaper reaches the party
sought through the eye, when the reader
has his thoughts solely fixed upon the
paper before Lim.
But those who afTect to believe that
there is liu!e use in advertising urge as
an objection that advertisements are not
read. They can be easily convinced of
their error in this respect by making in
quiry. Let them insert an advertisement
otfeiing to purchase some article that is
tolerably pb-nty in ihe market, and they
will be Hooded with offers to sell before
the ink of ihe advertisement is dry. An
enterprising weekly that has a circulation
of one. two or three thousand copies is in
a position to do the village merchant
great good, and lor which, as a rule, the
publi.-her does r.ot get one-fourth of what
he justly deserves. In its sphere the
weekly is of quite as much service to the
advertiser as is the daily, and oftentimes
it enjoys die privilege of being the ex
clusive family visitor, a privilege the
daily seldom has.

Goon Anvroi;. President Por
ter, of Yale College, gave the fol
lowing advice to the students of
that institution, the other day:
Young men, you are the architects
of your own fortunes. Pcly upon
your own strength of body and
soul. Take, for your star, self-reliance,
faith, honor and industry.
Inscribe on your banner, "Luck is
a fool, pluck is a hero." Dont take
too much advice. Keep at your
helm, and ;;tecr your own ship,
and remember that the great art
of commanding is to lake a share
of the work. Don't practice too
much humanity. Think well of
yourself .Strike out. Assume
your own position. Put potatoes
in your cart, oyer a rough road,
and the small ones will go to the
bottom. Pise above the envious
and jealous. Fire above the mark
you intend to hit. Energy, invin
cible determination, with a right
motive, are the lovers that move
the world. Don't reael novels.
Don't drink. Don't chew. Don't
smoke. Don t swear. Don't de
ceive. Don't marry until you can
support a wife. J5e in earnest.
Ie self-reliant. Ie geneious. IJe
civil. Head the papers. Adver
tise your business. Make money,
and do good with it. Love God
and your fellow men. Love truth
Land virtue. Love your country.
and obey its laws." If this advice
is s trict I v followed by the vouner
men oi the country, the millennial
is at hand.
Divokct-: is Ynmi.xiA. The
first divorce suit on record in Vir
ginia Avas decided a short time ago,
and the Judge, in delivering the
opinion of the Court, referred to
the extreme rarity of such cases in
Virginia. lie said: "Happily for
the interests of society and the
sanctity of marital rights anel rela
tions, suits of this character are not
of frequent occurrence in this State.
And in these modern days of so
called social reform, it is a fact wor
thy of record, and one Avhich fitly
illustrates the purity of social life
and the inviolable sanctity of the
marriage bond in this State, that
there can be found but two reported
cases in all its judicial history, from
the foundation of the common
wealth down to the present time,
touching questions arising out of
the separation of husband and Avife.
And the two cses referreel to were
not suits for divorce, but for ali
mony, brought b- the wife after
desertion by the husband."

.JU "I
Pleasant Homes.
It is a long standing and fully
acknowledged statement that the
homes of the people of moderate
means in some of the older coun
tries are superior those of the same
classes among us in every partic
ular. "We have not learned to pay
that attention to little things,
which add beauty and comfort at a
trifling cost. Now and then a per
son of ingenuity and taste is found
to do this, but they arc uncom
mon. It would involve no waste
of time, and but small expense to
turn bare yards, unpainteel boards
and untended fences, into a pleas
ant sight to the traveler, and to
every one, of the habits and tastes
of the owner. A few flowers, a
day's whitewashing, repairs done
at odd hours, would effect a per
fect transformation, if the inclina
tion be not wanting. We have
some of as pretty workingmen's
homes in America as can be seen
anywhere comfortable, clean, sur
roundeel by flowers and trees, and
displaying all the signs of com
fort, and a desire for something
beyond mere material satisfaction.
On the other hand, we have many
of tiiese dirty anel elilapidated, ami
looking upon all kinds of filth
from their very front doors. We
wish we had here in America the
cottages described as observed in
Scotlanel : "The tennant's house,
too. is worthy of observation,
showing at once the care anel neat
ness of those who inhabited these
ivy-clael cottages. The gardens in
front are filled with a variety of
flowers, sometimes intermingled
with honey-suckle creeping over
the fences and, like the ivy, some
times hides the cottage known to
be there by the curling smoke ris
ing lazily into the. air. Away on
the hillside, the bluebells wave in
the Summer breze, anel the heather,
growing dark and rich in color as
the summer wanes, with the vari
ety of green colors that mingle to
gether, form contrasts that are
quiet anel sober."

Agriculture in Wa'diinlon.
A fine grapery is attached to
the Agricultural Department at
Washington. It is 150 feet in
length, 30 feet wide, with glass
root and sides, with ample ventil
ation by means of hinged sashes
in the roof and sides, anel so con
structed as to exclude the rain.
This building was erected for the
purpose of cultivating and testing
the most valuable varieties of for
eign grapes, with the view of en

Tact and Tata:xt. Talent is
something, but tact is everything.
Talent is serious, grave, and
respectful tact is all that, and
more, too. It is not a sixth sense,
but it is the life of all five. It is
the open C3'e, the quick ear, the
judging taste, the keen smell, and
the lively touch ; it is the inter
preter of all riddles the surmount
er of all difficulties the remover
of all obstacles. It is useful in all
places, and at all times ; It is use
ful in solitude, for it siiows a man
his way into the world ; it is use
ful in society, for it shows him his
Avay through the world. Talent
is pOAver tact is skill ; talent is
Aveight tact is momentum ; tal
ent knoAvs what to do tact knows
how to do it ; talent makes a man
respectful tact will make him
respected ; talent is wealth tact is
ready money. For all the prac
tical purposes of life, tact carries
it against talent ten to one.

types he could measure the track
of any thought that ever maele its
burning footmarks along the path

takes on a body, and is clothed in
garments of beauty, that make it a
living, working, intellectual, moral
and political force in the wide
Avorld. Thought first works
through the machinery of the hu
man body, and reveals itself in the
flushed face, the Hashing smile, the
tender glance, the musical voice,
the graceful movement, or the gen-
tie pressure of the hand.
It next works through the ma
chinery of the printing press, and

sion for several 3-ears to examine
rooms occupied 03' young women
for manufacturing purposes, and
he has observed that while the

cheerful and healthy the occupants
of a similar room, who were em

rooms tvas that the one occupied

the difference struck him he had
the yelloAV ochre washed off the
Avails and then Avhitened. At once
an improvement took place in the
health and spirits of the occupants.
