"I don't lileo to calculate! nnnn mich I things," observed my wife; ."but If Aunt JanOYverotodio I should not bp obit surprised ir elto left usthut old fusliioned sot of ollver that belonged to uiy great grandparents," , .OUt of consideration for tho printer I will" omit Indications of the emphasis with which Bho usually Epoko. If tho reader will kindly consider ovcry second wdrdinrinted in Bmnll mm nr Dnl vlll Iiavo somo faint idea of her manner or expressing herself. "Jf is a vcrv handsnmn Rot." T m. tunuxl, glancing about our modest din- inroom, "ana will Hardly accord with oufcfutniture." 'iltJwotUdn't look nt all well with that sidchoard," returned my wlfo, promptly, "it'ls so dreadfully shabby oh , of course Ijn&n tho sideboard, not tho silver; .lui n -. ijmippusu, men, u buch a tiling were to Happen, you'd havo to havo n new sideward," ShefViodded complacently. jijaw such a lovely ono down town todaj antique oak, beautifully carved. I do iftlmlro oak so much." Ut tho rest of tho f urnituro la wal nut, objected, "Walnut Is altoTCther out of stvlo. ph. pecially for dining rooms," bIio replied, with n disdainful plane, nt ilin elmin whlofr wohad once found very good to look "and, after all, tho Bideboard is by soinuch tho most oxpensivo pieco of furniilro in a dlnlncr room that It ilnoan't cosficli more to got n wholo set than just tfat ono piece. And bven a walnut 8ideb&trd, new, would not look well with .-.ii.-i , . , , . .. uiusu.uiiairs nnu ims tauto. I said nothlnsr, and tho tacit surrender was accepted by my wlfo. Thenceforth It wa3 . imderstood that if Aunt Jane should bequeath us tho silver, wo were to.ptircha8o a now sot of dining-room furt!Iuircv' 1 Tho next oveninsr, as wo were acrain nt dinner, my wifo remarked: "I havo been lookinsr nt carnets todav. and saw ono that just suits mo; rich and subdued, you know, but not dingy." "Carpets," I repeated in somo sur prise. "I didn't know that there was ono needed this season." "Why, stupid," rejoined my wife, pet ulantly (and tho emphasis was all upon tho pst name), "did wo not ngroo that tho dining room must bo refurnished? and this carpet is bo old and worn, of courso it would not do at nil with now furniture." Again I acquiesced silently, and she proceeded to mako plans for meeting mc tho next day to examine nnd choose the carpet nnd furnituro to bo purchased later on. Well, if my wifo's relations loft her handsome silver, I must of course provldo things in keeping with it. Sho met mo according to appointment, and, having inspected tho articles, gave mo to understand that my tasto was so execrablo as not to merit a moment's consideration, und announcing her own choice, suggested coolly: "And now let's go. look at tho wall paper." "Wall paper? I echoed, blankly. "Of course; tho room must "bo re pap;red if it is refurnished. Ao for the wood work, I suppose there is no Help for that; it will just have to boregrained. Can they mako that natural wood finish on wood that haa been painted?" I stared aghast; that silver was going to cost mo a pretty euuj. But I was help, less, entirely go; my wifo had inado up her mind, That ovening bIio was much elated nt tho prospect of being eurrottnded by such things as sho had that dayaelectcd. Thero was but ono cloud.on her; horizon. "Tho dining room will, ba nicer than tho-parlors," sho remarked, plaintively; "I am afraid that they will reajly look Ehabby," I said nothing, hoping that if sho wero not contradicted, she would not pursue tho subject farther. Vain hopol Sho had fixed it in her own mind tliat silcnco gavo consent, and when I cauio .homo tho next oyening, had assumed that tho parlors wero to b newly fitted up. "Don't you think," sho said, coaxingly, "that as long ns tho parlors und dining room aro to bo torn up, and wo aro to havo tho painters and paper hangers here, wo might as well havo tho whole fcouso done? It would bo very littlo more trouble, and then it would all look nice together." "It would bo considerably moro ex pensive," I remonstrated, faintly, "You mlsht draw tho monoy out of tho building association," sho suggested; and then I knew that our savings in that institution wero doomed. Aunt Jauo lingered a long time. In justica to my wife, I must admit sho had become oblivious of tho fact that all these improvements depended upon a legacy which could only bo possessed after tho death of her venerable relative, , A day or so after sho had decided thai ! the liuuno was to bo thoroughly reno- ! rated, my wifo said to mo: I ' i luvu been examining tho parlor car- pita, and I find that by using tho best parts of both, and buying a wido border, I can get quite n now carpet for our bed room, absolutely unworn." "Indeed!" I remarked, with pleased surpriso; thero was ono thing that sho would not want, anyhow. "Yes, and tho carpet that is now on it haa onough good to cover the children's room, if I put the worn part under tho bed. Or maybe I'd better put that on (ho spare room," she added, reflectively, "and givo that ono to tho children. Theirs gets such hard wear that an old ono will not last any timo hardly." I said nothing, but felt greatly relieved. "As lcaa a wo don't have to bar a bedroom camet." sho remarks.!. fnRlmin. tingly, "don't you think wo could afford a new 6Ct or furnituro?" "No. I don't " T lnraiv1 1 whereupon sho burst into tears nnd called mo a heartless monster. To pacify her, I had to promise tho furniture, together with a now silk nnd a sealskin, that tho mistress of tho house might bo as fino aa ucr uwetimg. "It does seem o shame." ulin snld. few days afterward, "to spend so much money on tms House. That's very lmnd somo and expensive paper that wo looked at, and to substitute an nrchway for tho loiuing uoors win cost something" this was tho first that I heard of tho arch way "and then thoso lovely carpets cut up to nt tiieso small rooms, tool" "Yes, it is a shamo," I replied, hardly crediting my senses. Not nil had been lost, although much had been In danger. "I nm so glad that you think so," re turned my wife, briskly; "I was suro that you would ngreo with vn6 that it would bo wiser for us to find u house tliat suits us better, nnd buy right away, esiuiu is cneap now, tlioy say mere s so mucu in tlie martlet." Sho tried to put on a knowing look; if sho had known half as much about that subject as about managing mo, I should havo felt impressed. As it was I weakly uujeuieu: "My dear, I don't know whero in tho world I could get tho money to buy a larger anu potior nouse, any Uouso nt all in lace. "You could sell this," sho replied, noth ing uauntca. "Hut if real estate is a drug on tb market I do not want to sell," I retorted tiunutng cunningly to turn her weapon upon herself. "There aro U1030 shares of stock then." "But that stock is going up daily; ii i n an, six. montns 1 can get uoublo what it would bring now; or hold it, and draw big interest on my investment." "Well, what else are you going to do? You said yourself that wo must liave a larger nnd better houso." Thereupon I mentally bade a regretful inrcwcii 10 tno stocic and tho monoy which I had expected to mako bv hold ing it. My wifo occupied lier leisure timo for Uio noxt three weeks in looking iL-aiuenco wmcu siiouiu 00 in all re spects 6uttabIo for tho furnituro wo were going to buy. What sho would desire noxt, 1 could not guess, unless sho should oocomo thoroughly dissatisfied with mo. At tlio end of tho period mentioned camo home ono evening to find her in tears. "Aunt Jane's dead," she sobbed; "the poor old lady, died this morning. I have just cotno from her house.'" As Aunt Jano had been at tho point of death for tho past six months, I was naraiy surprised to hoar this bit of news. I did my best to comfort my wifo. how ever, and comported mvBelf like a duti- fid nephew-in-law at tho mournful cere monies following tho death. When I returned homo tho day after mo iunerai, my who met mo at tho door, her faco flushed, her oves blazintr. "What do you supposo that old crank lias doner sho demanded. "What old crank?" I inquired v deringly. "Why, Aunt Jane, of courso." "I'm suro I dou't know." I returned. mildly; "but you should remember, my dear, that" "Oh, I know she's dead. Sho wouldn't givo her things away under any other circumstances, bhos left mo 3100 in cash, and that dear old silver to my sec ond cousin, John Scott. LTo'll sell it, and spend ovcry cent on liquor and cigars and horses. I know ho will," m , , . . ineu ipo oiazo in nor eyes was quenched by a flood of tears. I did mv best to Bootho her, but my efforts were useless, i assured her that if her cousin sold tho silver wo would buy it. "I don't want it," sho declared; "I won't havo it" very vehemently "and I won't get a singlo now thing in the nouse, or a new dress, or that sealskin, or anything. I'll just stay hero with things as they are, and John Scott can koep his silver, and you, can keep your building association monoy and stock, too. So there, now," After that I did not try to assuage her grtcr. 1 -was afraid that consolation might bo costly. Good Housekeeping, ' Gen. Ilntler's Ready Wit.
