MISS GULDEN'S LODGE!?.
Money Is Not tho Only Thing on
Earth Worth Having.
After Mr. Golden hail failed, and he
and Mih (Joldcn took to lotting1 out
tho rooms in their houso to lodgers,
and she found it necessary to work
hard at embroidery besides, and to
give up aU tho so pretty laxuriea she
had bott used to, there camo one day
to the door a sparely-built man,
rather handsome., but not very younjf.
and just a little shabby, who askod it
they had a room to sparo for him.
"It must be a very cheap one," said
he, -for I can't afford a rjood one. I
den't care how high up it is, and I
don't want it K be furnished. I have
very pood furniture of my own good
enough for me; planty good enough
and I don't w i.sh to die in the poor
house. No; I don't wish to die in the,
poor-house,"
Miss Goldotl opened her eyos as the
bijj man of flve-and-torty snid this, but
there wad & little hall bedroom on the
top floor which 6tood in place of the
traditional garret, and thither 6ho
conducted the gentleman who dreaded
the poor-house so much. The room
suited hi in. tho heat suited him, he gave
a well-knowu banker's name as refer
ence, and he declared himself to be
Sir. Mops.
The banker to whom Mr. Golden
went smiled a peculiar senile and
Said:
.'lighly respectable, and I feel sure
ho'll pay hiirenU"
And the next day Mr. Moss came
with his furniture. A boy brought an
old-fashioned cot, and a straw bed, and
a wooden stool, and a Uttlo three
legged table, and wanted fifty cent for
his trouble, and took twenl3-five in
cash, and took the ret out in bad lan
guage on the door-aU'p, after he had
"been hut out Then Mr. Moss ar
ranged his room himself, and drew one
teaspoon ful of tea In a little tin tea
pot, and had one roll and one radish
for hla supper. Tho foil ho bought;
the radish he took from a bunch on the
grocer's counter.
What are your radishes? he 6aid.
Then he nipped one oiT, and walked
away like an abent-minded gentle
man. Toor eoul," said Ellen Golden,' "I
Jo fel jo sorry for him."
So she ' f-n,iIod cad nodded to him
when be went out reit day, and was
always very careful to be civil to him.
She knew what it was to be poor her
self. And what was a cup of coffee
now and then, or iut a we.lgo of pie,
or a bowl of soup? It wasn't mlsod.
and one cou'.d do It in a neighborly
fashion, for a man must be v y poor
to live so. A
And Miss Golden, who often laughed
at the idea of owning such a nauio
she vrhOM life was so little of a golden
one did a thousand such little kind
nesses. They had enough to cat nnd
drink, her father and herself.
Then, when tho nights grew cold,
their tenant, who con'.d have no fire
in his room, often warmed himself at
that of his landlord. Ho was not
without ideas, and ho was by no means
plain; but his brain was full of
thoughts of ono order -thoughts of
money; how poop'.e made It and lost
it; how thoy got M h Intere.-t for it;
how they speculated with it and lost
it; how unexpected legacies were left
to some people, and how others waited
in vain for dead men's thoes; and
sometimes when Ellen Golden, who
had a touch of romancQ in her, hinted
that, after all, money was not worth
every thing elo in life, ho would stop
short in his serious, solemn way, and
say:
My dear young lady, you don't
think enough of money. It would bo
a terrible thing if you wero so careloss
of it as to come to the almshouse in
your old age. Many worthy people
have come to tha almshouse in their
old ago."
His grave, dark face, the little touch
of foreign accent there was in his
voice, his curiously earnest manner,
all gave his words a curious weight
an! meaning.
Ellen could not laugh at them.
"Rut it is such a pity, papa," the
used to say, "such a terrible pity that
poor Mr. Moss should have let his mis
fortunes warp him so.- If he would
but talk of something else,"
aVnd Mr. Golden would say:
"Ah, you don't know how it hurts
a man to have had all his schemes and
ambitions come to an end in his ma
ture years. Youth can rise again
after a fall; mldJle-arje can not. No
doubt poor Mr. Moss has failed."
And Ellen Golden supposed that
this must bo so, and that night asked
her tenant to tea, and made n, won
derful cake with a view to his coinin".

IS A FSSKMA.H WHOM IM IBUTH MIKES FBSK, iSD ALL ABB ELATBfl EK8IDH.
EBENSIJUKG, PA., FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 29.
He did not refuso to eat tho cake, but
ho gave her a little sermon on ex
travagance, and begged her to reflect
what eggs cost,
It Is certainly quite disinterested."
said Ellen Golden, "but he makes -me
o uncomfortable. Being so poor
himself I can't feel hurt at his re
minding me that I am poor, too but
I wish he wouldn't.'
In return for the kindness f the
Go'.dens. poor Mr. Mo.s u always
ready to do a thousand things. He
was handy with hammer and nails,
and had a wonderful faculty for mend
ing shoes. Onco or twice Ellen
thought he must have been a ahoo
maker, he so ably cobbled . her dis
carded walking-boots; and she had
fancied Liui a carpenter when he put
the kitchen closet door on iu hinges;
and a jowolor when he reset the
amethyst in her dead mother's ring
which she now wore in memory of
her. Once she said: 't
How did you learn to do so many
things?" '
And he answered..
'Nothing savocPt" man so much
money as to be a Jack-of -all-trades,"
Mill ho was not saving himself
money when he dug her garden and
put new bricks In her range. And he
did it with the fame alacrity with
which he sponged and pressed his own
clothes, and re-covered his own um
brella. When lie camo Lome at night he al
ways went to work; and they learned
that he made his own bedstead, and
Lis three-cornered table, and stuffed
his own straw mattress.
A penny saved is a penny got,"
said Mr. Moss. And Mr. Golden, who
never yet had found himself quite
able to pour himself a cup of eoSfoe,
or find his own slippers, and who,
though he had been a' prosperous
commercial gentleman once, would
have been as apt to sweep his own
chimney as to mend any thing about
the house, etarcd in amazoment.
"He appears to be a gentleman by
education," he said; "ho is well read
in tho classics; ho understands music
as few 6ave professional folk do; and
stocks my dear, 1 think ho knows
more about stocks than any one I eye
met. What an invaluable man ho
would have been tome in my business.
I would gladly have had him for my
head clerk. He might have saved me
from failure; yet soe to what a pasg
he ls reduced himself."
. Mr. Moss certainly was a mystery;
but. sinoe he did not choose to plaln
himself, thoGoldeas were too polite to
ask questioni; and whether )t was tho
fact that there was something t
wpnder at in him, or whether his
dark ekfn and black cyo3 were the
proper contrast to her complexion and
blue orbs, Ellen Golden found her
solf thinking of him a great deal.
"If he only would forget money, or
tho sound of it, how nice he would be,"
said she. .
And one day but this she had
never told to any one he had said to
her: a
If a man were rich enough he would
bo so much happier married so much
happier but It is unwise to marry if
ono can not afford it- It is 60 expen
sive a thing. Don't you think so?'
And she had said:
"Oh, yes, it certainly is;" and
liid not known whether to laugh or
cry. .
Somehow, she thought to herself,
knowing Mr. Moss is like meeting tho
enchanted Frinco of the Arabian
Nights who seemed a flesh and blood
Prince, but who proved to bo one-half
of stone. So there wero soft, and
gentle, and kindly things in Mr. Moss
almost loving things at times but
when ho spoke of money the petrified
half of Lim camo to. view.
"Yet it is trouble that has made him
so," 6aiJ she. "The enchantment or
perhaps I should pay the disenchant
ment of lose) and disappolntmenL It
hurt papa, but not in the same way."
It was a queer lif that the girl led
with these two men"" one old, one
middle Hgod, and yet It was not aa un
happy one.
Mr. M099 had no other frlend3. save
a portly, bald-headed gentleman who
camo now and then with important
looking papers and envelopes in his
hands to spend half an hour In. his
room, .
"His employer, doubtless," tail $lr.
Golden.
And once, in going away, this gentle
man had said aloud:
Excuso me, Mr. Moss, hut you
should have a room with a fire. It Is
dangerous to Bit bo ranch in tho cold.
I am nearly perished, I assure ybu."
And Mr. Moss had answered meek-
"Do you know tho rent they charge
for rooms with grates, nnd do. you
know tho price of coal per ton, Mr.
MacklinT
And MK Macklin had laughed a lit
tle, cruel laugh.
"He is paying Mr. Moss almost noth
ing for his toil, I suppose," said Mr.
Golden.
. "And, dear papa," said Ellen, "do
you know I really think poor . Mr.
Moss must have some claim on his lit
tle earnings some poor relative to
support, for whom he deprives him
self of comfort and wo must bo very
good V) him. papa. But won't you you
aro older than he won't you advise
him to leave that odious Mr. Macklin
and go wherothey will give him better
wages?"
And Mr.- Golden dld'Tiroach tho
subject, but poor Mr. Moss only shook
Ids head.
That hateful Mr. Macklin how
Ellen detested him!
Dut no one is ever certain he is at
his worst any more than ho is at his
best. Another misfortune camo to
Mr. Moss and this is how:
One day the tin leader that carried
the water from the roof of the Golden
house came loose. The tain rushed
In at Mr. Moss window and drenched
his floor. The gentlemanly landlord
came up in his dressing-gown, and
promised to send at onco ior a person
leader. The tenant
julte good-humoredly stopped him:
"Come, come," ho said, "you know
my old adrift? a penny aved is a
penny pot- . You haven't any too
uui'h money, rd you'd go and waste
it paying v.-crkSsg-peoplo. I'll tako
your hammer and nails and that bit
of tia yon were going to throw away
ye-UTdv, and iueiid your roof for
you. 1 il do it !tt ou'-e."
"Hut. my il. ar rir. I can't allow it,"
taid Mr. Golden, politely.
"My cT-jar. sir, you won't . use force
to prevent luo?" s.i'd Mr. Moss.
Oil. dear, no." said Mr. Goliieu.
T.ut the roof i quite a lojo and
very lippery. Ii i probably danger
ous. At least wait."
-'Meanwhile my furniture is veing
Booilt." said Mr. Mos. looking at the
boiue-made ad.Tnmr.nta of his room, j
"and your ct-lliug, which you are

"What is it, paprt?" st cried.
"Perhaps Mr. Mo.s Las thrown Lis

Golden.
auou tnoy ruoUea out into tlie gar
den. There upon the g-oat lilac bush,
flattened to the trround by hie weight,
lay Mr. Moss. Ho had slipped from
the roof. Tho house was only two
stories and a-half high. JL5ut it wad a
fall that left little hope for life. He
was senseless and covered with Hood.
Poor Ellen 6creamod and catao so
near fainting as to lose all btrenjrth.
Meanwhile tho Other lodgcra ' liad
rushed do a. n, and poor Mr. Moss was
Curried into the parlor and placed on
a sofa and a doctor was called.
Looking at the pale face, both father
and daughter forgot tho man's faults
the former his late offense, the lat
ter his odd counsols and reproofs.
When the doctor came they stood
beside their friend in tears.
"It's a bad case," said that worthy,
when he had made an examination;
"but ho may live. There'll bo fever,
probably delirium, though. You'd
better send him to the hopihd, if he's
only a tenant, and you don't know his
friends.".
Then he went away, having ban
daged a limb and a rib; and Ellen
looked at Lor father. Ail ho said
was: . 'J .
"No, my dear, wo won't."
. Then for many days they nursod tho
poor follow, and he knew nothing of
it; and tho doctor was right about
tho d-jlirium; and in it he raved of
money, of stocks, of gold, of cent,
per cent.
Ono dny Mr. MackKn called. He
presented his head at tho door, and
said, as Ellea eien-..d it:
"I say, ma'am, what Las happened
to tho old gtjitieman?"
"Mr. Moss is at death's door," said
Ellen. "He Las met with a terrible
accident."
. "Sorry t." hear it," sr.id Mr. Mack
lin; "and thoro'll bo the deuce to pay
at our place, lie keeps things so in
his own hands that if he can't bo con
sulted it's hard to toil what Xo do. Is
ho uncor.scious?" '
'""Yes." said Ellen; "but, ;.r. -can it
bo that Mr. Mois L;v? occupied an im
portant place in your establishment?'
"I should think ho bad,"... said
Macklin.
"And you have boon cruel enough
to take advantage of him. and repay
his services with a pittances that
scarcely provides him with bread,"
said Ellon, "I speali plainly, 1 know;
but I feel strongly. Perhaps you do
not guess what piiraUuiis ho has suf
fered. " 4 .
Mr. Macklin stared at hor in tileoco
for awhile and then whistled long1 and
low. ' ' '
. 'Soyou r.ro In tho !atk?" saldhe.
"You think employ Mr. Moss 1?
My dear madam. Ism his conildential
clerk. You seo, Mr. Moss is a very
eccentric man, IIo's a"xut as rich a
man as i know positively roliing in
gold but he's a not to put too lino a
point on it he's a miser."
Ho paused, locked al Lcr faco turn
ing white before his eyes, and udded:
You needn't bo afraid of him,
though; hw's honest. Ue'il reimburso
you for any expense you are at; and
I'll stop and Pcnd up a rurgeort who
knows who ho is; or. better tell the
one you Lavo his name. " Every ono
knows Isaac Moss, and his queer
ways."
Then, after some moro tall:, and a
look r.t tho delirious man, Mr. Macklin
went away, and Eilen, with totally
changed feelings, resutaed her post at
the patient's sido.
She looked at his face coldly. Her
kindliness for him was all gone. The
poor man who was so patient under his
privations aee.med to have died, and
there on tlo pallet before her lay tho
thing she loathed so unutterably a
miser. To both father and daughter
tho friend they had known seemed
dead. lut they ministered to him
still, until ore day after Isaac Moss
had been bettor for a long time, and
was growing quite well after ho had
had a long interview with a gentleman
whom Mr. Golden knew to be a lawyer,
he called Ellen to his side, and bogged
her to listen to him quite alone.
"I can not say it to any one else,"
ho said, "but I must to you. You
found iue out very soon after rr.y ac

tho people call a iriiser."

"Ellen Golden," he whispered. "I

FAMILY
GOVERNMENT.
A ToTrerful
Argument for Ecjual lttgbt
- -p. ) tl: Jtoine;,
I From a book entitled "The Fam
ily," prepared by the joint author
ship of llev. Charles F. nnd Mrs.
Thwing. we take tho following: The
common objection urged r.gainst tho
equal authority of tho man aiid
wnn.rm in the marriage relation is
bat.d upoa the belief that in the
family there must le one supreino
and ultimate authority. A double
headship is a monstrosity. One only
cun decide, and that o.ie Is more fit
tingly the man. To this it may we'd
be answered that, however true it is
that the final decision of a mooted
question can rest only on one, it by no
moans follows that tho same one
should decide all questions. The cen
tral idea of a true wedlock is tho
Idea of mutual 6elf-surrender. Rights,
duties and privileges are reciprocal
Neither tho husband nor wilo should
demand more than the other can give,
nor consent constantly to give without
receiving iu return.
Two classes questions ari;o i.i a
family tho e that, arc persona! to
citLir the husband or the wife, and
tho3 that effect both equally. In af
fairs which aro common to t-oth, e.x

l)oubt!e?s. In affairs regarding the re
lation of the family to the outsiJo
world, tho peculiar train in of the
man fits hha to be tho safer guide.
H'.it in doircslic concerns, such as tho
selection and furnishlug of tho house,
the oversight of servants, tho train
ing of tho children, the house mother
is the natural leader. . '
Children naturally belong to both
parents, ani both parents should Lavo
by law au equal riLt to them
acd their earnings. No more un
righteous law disgraces the 6tatuto
book th.ia thr.t which gives to the
fail er the o'e ownership of children,
sole control of their earnings and sole
inheritance in their property. In
many of the United Stales, until with
in a lex years, a futher might by will
dlcposo of the pennon ci even an un
turn cLUd. This law Las boon
changed in several States; but the
power of binding out a child, be it son
or daughter, still rcsta with tho father
alone. -
la matters private and personal,
each must at tho outset of married life
recognize the complete freedom of the
other. Iho only right to bo main
tained is tho l iohlof the one to yield
a personal desire for the sake of the
happiness of tho other. Neither
should expert to dieistj as to what
friends the other in ay visit, what Lab
its ho may inulgo, what private es
pouses he may incur.
This, it need hard:
be said, Ij not
.eat law. The
according to tho pro
husba.id. as the head cf tho household,
has tho riht t j dictate the policy of
the family. The wifo is expected to
conform to his habits, tastes, even to
his eccentricities, provided her health
be not seriously endangered by so do
ing. Tho husband may even restrict
his wife's calling list, or forbid her
from visiting hor relations. Tho
courts also su-tnin him in preventing
her from attending the church of
which she is a member.
' Mrs. Manly (to visitor) "It is an
outrage the way people talk. Every
body says that I bulidozo my husband
so that ho is afraid to say that his soul
is hia own. It's an infamous lie. Just
ask my husband himself. Charles,
my dear, corao here!" Charles (in
thencxt room) "1 haven't got time

She gavo me an intent look, then,
dropping hci voice confidentially,
said:
"I save It out of tho housekeeping.
For a long time I have saved t least
half of my monthly allowance, and
this month I will save mere. I want

her little boy, a child of nine or ton
years of age, camo dashing in, say
ing: 'O ma! I'm so hungry! Is there
any thing for supper to-night?"
"Certainly, lny son, we will havo
the svpper we always have."
"O-o-o ma! Nothing but coll corn

Hush! If corn-bread and milk is

answered, sternly.
, ."Yes, but, ma, you like it and all tho
rest of us haU it. Why . can't wo ever
have any thing tho rest of us like?"
5 "That will da If you are not hun
gry enough to oat what we have, you
can go without." t
t I hastily took leave, and as I shut
the front gate I heard tho poor little
fellow burst into a perfect storm of
sobs. I no longer envied her the
beautiful things she had bought. Sho 1
had paid too dearly for them. After
that I usod to watch her children
passing by on thuir way to school.

May not such a woman bo, without
exaggeration, likened to a vampire,
draining thu lifo blood, or its equiva

self? I never returned that visit, and
could only think of her afterwards
with loathing.
A friend I u?.:d to Lave lived a short
distance from town, on a fruit farm
One spring day I heard sho was get

and hungry. Sho hud left mo sewing,
nnd fgor.o out half an hour beforo to
tho kitchen and now called us out to
dinner. Tho table was set with beau

squash nnd a small plate of bread and

tho scanty fare, but seemed to think it
was all as it should bo, I did not care
for myself, knowing that I would bo at

that he could havo eaten every mouth
