A T ,i 1 u t,0
Albert, 1 wish you would let me nave
1 J.
couple oF dollars.
L ,te, Laodmau 8Poke vei7 carefully,
jr suc knevr that her husband - had not
, much money to spare ; she spoke earnest-
1 tr nnr) tlinrtf vaa or or 11 rf Antrnitv in
her look.
"A hat do you want money for ? ask-
ed Albert, not very pleasantly. '
4,I want to get some, braid for my new
dress." .
4tI thought you had the materials all
on hand for that."
"I thought I had ; but Mrs. Smith and
Mrs. Thompson both have a trimming of
braid upon theirs, and its looks very pret
ty. It is very fashionable, and it cer
tainly adds much to the dress."
4,Plaguetake those Omen's fashions.
Your endless trimmings and thing-a-ma-gigs
cost more than the dress is worth.
It's nothing but shell out money when
oncost woman thiuks of a new dress."
"Surely, Albert, I don't have many
new dresses. I try to be as economical
as I can."
"It's a funny kind of economy, at all
events. But if you must have it, I sup
pose you must."
And Albert Landman took out his
purse, and counted out the money; but
he gave it grudgingly ; and when he put
tbe purse back into his pocket, he did it
with an emphasis. which seemed to say
that he would not take it out again for a
week.
When Albert reached the outer door,
oq his way to his work, he found the
weather so threatening that he resolved
to go back aud get his umbrella ; and up
on re-entering the little parlor he found
his wife in tears. She tried to hide the
fact but she had been caught in the act,
and she was asked what it meant.
"Good gracious !" cried her husband,
"I should like to know if you are crying
at what I said about your dress V
"I wasn't crying at what you said, Al
bert," replied Kate, tremulously ; "but
you were so-reluctant to grant me the lit
tle favor. I was thinking how hard I
work how I am tied to the house how
many little things I have to perlex me ;
and then to think"
"Oh, pshaw ! What do you want to
be so foolish for ?"
And away started Albert Landman a
second time ; but not to escape so easily.
In the passage he was met by his daugh
ter, Lizzie, a bright eyed, rosy cheeked
girljsten years of age.
"Oh, papa, give me twenty-five cents."
"What?"
"Oh, I want twenty-five cents. Do
please give it to me."
"What in the world do you want it
for?"
"I want to buy a hoop. Ellen Smith
has got one, and so has Mary Allen. Mr.
Grant has got some pretty ones to sell.
Mayn't I have one ?"
"Nonsense! I can t afford to be buy
ing hoops for you to trundle about the
streets."
"Please papa."
"No, I tell you !"
The bright blue eyes were filled with
tears, and as the child's sobbing broke
upon his car Albert Landman hurried
from the house with some very impatient
words upon his lips.
This was in the morning. At one o'
clock, when he came to his dinner, there
was a cloud over the household. His
vife was serious ; aud he was slient ; and
even little Lizzie, usually so gay and
blithesome, was sad and slient.
But these things could not last long in
that husehold ; for the husband and wife
loved each devotedly, and were really at,
heart, kind and forbearing. When Al
bert came home to his tea, Kate greeted
him with a kiss, and in a moment tho
sunhihe came back ; aud had the lesson
ended there the husband might have
fancied that he had done nothing wrong
that the cloud had been but the exhal
tation of a domestic ferment for which
no one was particularly responsible;
though he might not have banished tho
conviction that women's fashions were a
nuisance, as well as a frightful draft up
on husband's pockets. . . .
After tea Albert lighted a pipe and
walked out. fie had gone but a short
distance when he met Lizzie. Id her
right hand she dragged an old hoop, which
had been taken from a dilapidated flour
burrel, while with her left she was rub
bing her red, swollen eyes. She was in
deep grief, for she was sobbing painfully.
He stopped his child and asked what was
the matter.
She answered, as well as her sobs would
let her, that the other girls had laughed
at her, aud made fuu of the old hoop. -They
all had uice, pretty hoops,' while
hers was ugly and hotncly.
tNevcr wind," said Albert, patting
tho little one upon the head for tho
child's grief touched him "perhaps we'll
have a uew hoop some time."
, "Mayn't I have one uow ? Mr. Grant's
got oue left oh ! such a pretty one I"
The sobbing had ceased as the child
caught her father's hand eagerly.
"Not now, Lizzie not now. I'll think
of it." ' '
Sobbing ngain, the child moved on to
ward home, dragging the old hoop after
her.
Presently Albert Landman met come
of his friends.
"Hallo, Albert; what's np?"
, "Nothing in particular,"
"What dy'esay to a game of billiards?"
"Good ! I'm iu for that."
And away Albert went to the billard
room where he had a glorious time with
his friends. He liked billiards. It was
a healthy, pretty game; and the keeper
of the place allowed no nonsense upon
the premises.
They had played four games. Albert
had won two, and his oppoucnt had also
won'two.
"That's two and two," cried Tom Pi
per. ,
"What d'ye say to one more ?"
"All right go on," replied Albert,
full of animation.
So they played the fifth game, and he
who lost was to pay for the five games.
It was an exciting coutest ; both made
capital strokes; but in the end Albert
was beaten by three points ; and, with a
light laugh, he went up to sottlo the bill.
Five games twenty five cents a game
a dollar and a quarter. Not much that
for such sport ; and he paid the money
with a good grace, never once seeming to
feel that he couldn't afford it.
"Have a cigar?" said Tom.
"Yes."
They lighted their cigars, and Hien
sauntered to another room to watch other
players.
By-and by, Albert found himself seat
ed over againut a table at which some of
his friends were playing; and close by
him stood two gentlemen5 both strangers
to him one of whom was explaining to
the other the mysteries of the game.
"It is a healthy pnstime," said he who
had been making the explanation,, "and
certainly it is one which can have no evil
tendency."
Albert heard the remarks very plainly,
and he had a curiosity to hear what the
other, who seemed uuacquaiuted with bil
liards, would say.
"I cannot, of course, assert that any
game which calls for skill and judgment,
and which is free from the attendant
curse of gaming, is of itself an evil," re
marked the secoud gentleman. "Such
things are only evils in so far as they ex
cite and stimulate men beyond the bounds
of healthful recreation."
"That result can hardly follow such a
said the first speaker.
But the other shook his bead.
"You arc wrong there. The result
can follow in two wsjs. First, it can lead
men away from their business ; and se
cond, it can lead men to spend money
who have not that money to spare. You
will understand me. I would not cry
down the game of billiards ; for if I un
derstood it, I should certaiuly try jou a
game now ; but whenever I visit a place
of this kind, I am led to reflect upon a
strange and prominent weakness of hu
nnu nature as dcvelypcd in our sex.
For instance, observe that young man who
is just now settling his score. He looks
like a clerk ; and I should say from his
manner, and from the fact he feels it his du
ty to go home at this hour, he has a wife
and children. I see by his face that he
is kind hearted and generous,, and I
should judge that he meant to do about j
a3 near right as he can., ,11c has been
beaten, and he pays a dollar or so for the
recreation of some two hours' duration.
If you ob?ervc, you will see that he pays !
it freely, and pockets the loss with a smile.
Happy faculty ! But how do you sup
pose it is in that youug man's home ?
Suppose his wife had come to him this
morning and asking him for a few dimes I
to spend for some trifling thing some J
house-hold ornament, or some bit of jew-
elry for the ornament of her person and
suppose the littlo child should put in the
plea for a dime or two to buy dolls and
picture books with, what would have been
the result ? What do you think he would
have answered ? Or fifty men just like
him, would not five aud forty have de
clared that they had not the mouey to
spare for any such purpose ? Aud, more-
over, they would have said fo,
that they were telling the truth.
feeling
Am I
not right?" "'
"Upon my soul," responded thouian
who understood billiards, "you speak to
the point. Ah I it is well for such wives
and children that they do uot know
where all the money goes !" '
The game was finished ; the two gen
tlcmeu moved on ; and Albert Landman
arose from his scat and left the place.
Never before had he had just such
thoughts as now possessed him. He had
never dwelt upou the same grouping of
ideas. That very morning his own true,
faithful, loving wife had been sad and
heart-sick because he had harshly and un
kindly met her request for a small sum
of money. And his sweet Lizzie had
crept away to her home almost broken
hearted for the want of a simple toy suoh
as her mates possessed. And yet 'the
sura of his little ono's wants amounted to
not as much as he had paid away that
evening for billiard playing.
Albert Landman wauted to be nn hon
est husband and faiher, and tho lcsvu
was uot lost upou him. On his way homo
he stopped at Mr. Grant's and purchased
the best and prettiest hoop to bo found,
with a driving stick painted red aud white
and blue ; and in the moruing when he
beheld his child' Jelight, aud had rcceiv
ed her great! ul, happy kiss, the qucstiou
came to his mtud which was the best
and happiest result
-this,
or the five
games of billiards f
. A fev mornings after this, as Albert
rose from the breakfast table, ho detect
ed nu uneasy, wistful look upou his wife s
"Kate, what is it?"
"Albert, if you could spare me a few
dollars this morning."
"Certainly my love. Anything in rea
son to make you happy." And out came
the purse, and the money was handed
over with a warm genial smile !
What ! Tears at that 7 Was it possiblo;
that she had been so little used to sucfr
scenes on his part, that so simple an act
of loving kindness thus affected her?

TAKE WARNING BY HEK.
Caution to Wealthy Young Ladies who'
are Tempted to Steal.
In Pittsburg, a short time since,-tho'
daughter of a prominent and well-to-do
citizen went into the store of one of tho
largest dealers in jewelry, and asked to
be shown some fine diamond rings:
Knowing the ability of the family to in-;
dulge in such extravagances, the young
lady's request was very readily complied
with. After examining a number of rings -the
fair one at length selected one that
suited, stating, however, that she wouldJ
not at that time take it with her, but
would make a memorandum of the price
above $200 and would call in a day;,
or two with the money. After some fur
ther examinations of the assortment of
rings the lady took her departure, and
with her, the salesman had strong reasons
to suspect, went the identical ring she.
had selected; for, upon examination, im
mediately after her departure, it was as
certained that the ring was nan est in
ventus. The. proprietor of the store at
once sat down and addressed a polite note
to the dishonest one, requesting herto re--turn
the stolen property, or its value in
money, immediately, or else steps would"
be taken which must result in an -unpleasant
exposure. Not many hours
elapsed ere the jeweler received a visitor'
at his residence, in the person of the thiel
who, covered with shame and confusion,
tearfully acknowledged her fault, stating
that in an evil moment she had yielded
to temptation, and committed a crime of
which she had bitterly repented. It was
her first offense, she said, and her hum
ble supplications to the jeweler, touched
that gentleman in a tender place beneath
his vest, and he forgave her, agreeing
not to permit her name to get into the
paper, and he kept his word, for it was
not through the proprietor of the store
that the item was obtained. It is hoped
the severe lesson which the young lady
received in this instance, may be tho
means of her salvation, when agaiu tho,
tempter comes.
Omaha, Nebraska, is a city that 13 iir
despair. It wants laboring men and can
not get them. The Omaha Republican
of August 23, speaking of the labor market-in
that city, says: " Of clerks, sales
men, lawyers, doctors, we have any quan
tity, in fact more than we really have
any need of; but laborers, stone-cutters,
masons and plasterers we are sadly defi
cient in. Laborers command readily 3 p
enrpenters from $4 to S5; bricklayers
and masons from 56 to 7; plasterers, Sa
to SG; blacksmiths, S5; printers from S2fr
to 825 per week; bookbinders from $20 to
$25; news compositors, 46pcr 1,000 ems;
tailors, shoemakers, saddlers, machinists,
engineers, teamsters, barbers and men of
all trades, command all good wages and
steady employment. There is another
class of persons who would do well in
Omaha we refer to manufacturers of
small wares."

artificial characteristics, and makes him
