THE JUDGE'S DECISION,
"Then you really think you're
in
love, eh?" said Juilire Pell mm.
lie hud a queer brown face, this old
man, and plowed with a network of
wrinkles, aud little black eyes with
scanty allowance of lashes, that looked
at you like glistening beads. Xot a
sort of man to confide a love tale to.
nor to sympathize with the tender out-
.'Hiriinrs ; and how Judge Pelhainever
came to lie the father of a glorious girl
like Kate, with the beauty of Helie,
was a riddle that we leave to those
learned in physiology and sychology.
"Yes, sir," said Hugh Kearney,
bravely. "I am in love with her, and
if I am so fortunate as to gain your
jiennisbion to iy her my address "
"Stop!" said the old gentleman,
'young sir. What have you got?"
"A strong arm, sir, and a brave heart
together with, I hope, at least, an av
erage amount of brains."
'Very gixnl stock in trade," answer
ed the Judge, still regarding Mr. Kear
ney with the little hard glistening
heads of eyes. "Aha, Mr. Carleton, is
that you ? Walk in and sit down. I'll
lie disengaged presently."
'Then you will give my ease a favor
able consideration, Judge?" said Hugh,
rising to depart.
"I will, sir."
And Hugh went out a tall, hand
some fellow, with pleasant dark eyes
aud a linn, squarely-cut chin, which
betokens no ordinary amount of resolu
tion and will.
Kent Carleton sat in the office leisure
ly glancing over the large russet-bound
volumes, when th Ju.ljre dclilteraiely
turned himself round in his revolving
chair.
He, too, was handsome, with straight
effeminate fealures, blue eyes, and
wavv hair.
"I have called, sir, on very import
ant business," began Kent, hesita
tingly. "I'.li ! What may it Ik;?" deliberate
ly questioned the Judge. Kent would
have given all he was worth if the
brown old man would have put on a
lair of spectacles. Those lead eyes
confused and liewildered him.
'It is about your daughter Kate sir,"
said Carleton. "I love her, and if you
have no objections "
'Ah," said the Judge, "exactly o.
Of course you have means to support a
wife?"
"As to means, sir, I am yet only le-
ginning the world ; but I have expect
ations, and, added to this, I am about
to commence the practice of the profes
sion in which you have reached so bril
liant a position."
He bowed. The Judge was still
transfixing him with the lead eyes.
'You utay go. I'll let you know my
decision to-morrow."
Carleton's fiotsteps had hardly died
away upon me tnresnom wnen uie
Judge opened the door to the left of
him and called :
"Kate !"
Miss IVlham came in tall, bloom
ing, eighteen, with eyes of soft liquid
blue, damask cheeks, and hair of real
poet's gohL How strange tshe looked
among the dry old law b ok- and the
liaize-covered desks and the packets of
legal pajiers splashed with scarlet seals
like magnified drops of blood.
'Well, papa ?'
'IKj you want to get married, pet ?"
'Well, papa, I hardly know wheth
er I do or not !" she answered, re
flectively.
Miecause I've had two young men
here asking periuiswiou to pay their
addresses to you."
'Two young men, papa ! ho were
they?"
"liotu eligible, as far as outward cir
cumstances go; not rich, but sensible
and enterprising, I've reason to think ;
and for my part I don't believe in too
much ready-made money."
"But you have not told me yet who
they are."
"Hugh Kearney and Kent Carle
ton," answered the Judge. " Inch
do you like the better of the two?"
"Why, papa; I like them both.
Huzh is a good solid fellow, aud Kent
has so much style."
"But you can't marry 'em both."
"Pa," laughed Kate, coming up so
that her fuir curls overflowed the brown
face with the beady black eyes, "you
choose for me. I really haven't any
actual preference in the matter. I could
like either of them ; and, after all, it
isn't like selecting a lover, liecause I
can make up my mind at any time."
"So you want the old dad to select
for you. do you ? Well, well, I will
think it over and let you know."
The Judge put on his hat and went
out for a walk in the summer twilight
to clear his brain of the cobwebs in
duced by his day's work.
"Hello !" he cried, as he stumbled
over a meditative old Irishman who
was standing before him with a ragged
old water-proof coat hanging on his
arm. "What do j-ou mean by ob-
structine the hiirhway in that sort of
fashion, Hannegan ?"
"Faith, it's I that asks Your Honor's
pardon kindly, but sorra a bit I knows
where I'm goin Perhaps Your Hon
or could tell me."
"How the mtschief do you suppose
set
ESTABLISHED 1837.
I can tell j-ou, if you don't know your
self, j-ou Irish blunderheaiL"
"They're lawyers like Your Honor,"
"and since Biddy Rouke that is me
sister, Your Honor, that's washing for
all the quality hurt her ankle bone,
says she, she says, 'get the money
they're owin' me, it's I that w ill Ihank
you kindly sjivs she, 'and I'll do as
much for you,' says she, 'for it's Mr.
Carleton and Mr. Kearney "
"Oh!" ejaculated the Judge. "Carle
ton and Kearney, eh? Yes; I know
where they live, and I'll go along with
you aud show you, if you'll lend me
your overcoat and just change hats
with me."
"Sure, Your Honor, it's too ragged
like for the likes of you ?'
"That's my business," said the Judge
alertly transforming himself into an
old loafer by the buttered hat and rusty
overgarment of Terrence Hannegan.
"Anw, look here, if ynu call me any
thing but Lurry Kierdon I'll send von
to the lock-up for twenty-four days."
Terrence started and grinned.
"All right, ye-"
"Stop!" roared the Judge.
"I inane Iarry ! And is thisthte,
sir? I would lie after saying. Mister
Hierdon ?"
"This Ls the door, Terry."
And, without knocking, the Judge
pushed Terry into the hotel reading
room, wh?re he stood with his head
drawn in between his shoulders aud
nearly covered by the Irishman's too
large hat, while Hannegan boldly con
fronted the young men.
Cr rletou was writing a letter, Kear
ney -tut tip-d back in his chair look
ing over the pajier, and one or two
others were lounging about grumbling
at the diurnal monotony of the village
in which they found themselves lie-
cahned over night.
"Money !" ejaculated Carleton, ir
ritably, as the Irishman made known
his errand. "What money? It's but
a little while since I settled that bill ;
there must be a mere trifle owing
now f
'It's $5, .75, and Biddy's laid up
wid a broken ankle aud five little ones,
sir ; and if you'd plase to let me have
the money, I've Biddy' receipt,
sir"
"Hang your receipts, man, I've ho
money to spare ! Don't bother me !"
"For shame, Carleton V sjsike up
Hugh Kearney. "Pay what you owe
the woman. Would you let her and
the little ones starve?'
'It don't hurt that class of people to
starve," heartlessly answered Carleton.
As for the little ones, the less we have
among us to pay taxes for the better !
It isn't convenient for me to settle the
account to-day; that's enough."
Anil he turned away and bent over
his writing again, a little uneasy be
neath tl u it heritor look o euro dart
ed at him from Hugh Kearney's eyes.
'Come, here, my man," said the
latter, addressing Terry Hannegan,
who stood scratching his head in sore
jicrplexity. "How much do I owe
Mrs. Rouke? I ought to have attend
ed to it sooner ; but I waited as usual,
for her to send in her bill."
"It's only Si-V), sir, for your honor;"
answered Terrence, "but"
'Well, here's a $-3 bill. Biddy can
work It out when her ankle gets lietter.
And if she is really in want or suffer
ing, tell her to send to me and I'll
come and see her."
'Sure, your honor, I'll do that same ;
and it's hopin's the blissid saints may
make your honor's bed in heaven, and
wishin' there was many like you ; and
Biddy'll le a thankful woman."
But at this stage Terry Hannegan'
companion, who had stoHi uy the noor
motionless all the while, shouldered
him out, still uttering thanks and
blessings as he went.
'Here, said the Judge, as they step-
p.d out once iu.hv on the pavement,
take your overcoat, Terry, aud let's
change hats again ; for I begin to feel
radical and revolutionary already."
"Feel how, your honor?"
"Nevermind. Here, give thLsniou-
ey to j-our sister from me, and bea'siut
your business."
So the Judge dismissed his ragged
companion and returned to nis din
ing room, back of thj law office,
where Kate sat by a shaded lamp.
"Well, papa," said Kate, laughingly,
have you decided yet ?"
"Yes, I have decided."
"What is it to be?"
"Carleton is a heartless scoundrel,
aud will treat the woman who is his
wife as no woman would wish or de
serves to be treated."
"Papa, how do you know?"
"No matter how I know. I have a
way of finding out things for myself,
child."
"And Mr. Kearney?"
"If you can get him, take him. He
is a fine fellow."
And the Judge sat down to write
two brief notea, one of which Carleton
read the next morning with contract
ed brow and savage eyes.
"What does the pedantic old fool
mean 7 v hat can ne nave possioiy
heard about ma which convinces
him that I am not the person to render
his daughter's life a happy one ?"
But that was just what Mr. Carleton
never IearneiL
And Kate, the Judge's golden-haired
daughter, was married six months
from that day to Hugh Kearney.
A Hot Weather Story.
"This warm weather remiuds me of

BlufTkins, helping himself to a twenty
five cent cigar from his neig hi sir's mo
rocco ease.
"Look here, BlufTkins," answered
the only New Yorker at the table, "we
are too near roasting to death to ex
periment with your stories, but we'll
give you one opportunity."
'Well, to proceed," continued Mr.
BlufTkins, "there was ouce a man who
lived in Chicago all his life. Naturally
enough he had a most exalted opinion
of that Windy City. In the natural
course of events the man died, and upon
reaching his destiny exclaimed in sur
prise to St Peter: 'Why, dear sir, I

eyed the new arrival in sorrow for a

REMIXISCEXCES
Of Captain Tissue.
I.uitok II Kit A li : M r. "Nixfer-
stay" disagrees somewhat with the w ri-
ter in regard to the origin of the name
"Keyser'a Uidge," and in an inspired
moment his jsn-tie vision sours back
ward ami in his mind's eye In) sees an
educated German, who in the excess of
his overflowing patriotism calls it
"Kaiser's," or m re properly "Cesar's
Ridge." Now this would all lie very
fine, and as beautiful as fine, if it were
so; but unfortunately for"Nixferstay's
theory, a man named Knncr did live
there, aud is so little known to fame
and posterity that no one can tell
"where he is at," or even where he
went from there. The average Ger
man emigrant, while patriotic enough
for all practical purMscs, and while
making a substantial freeman in this
great country, and with a great iis.si
ble future for his jiosterity, which is
shown iv the soini men and grand wo
men of German extraction all over our
land, would hardly be exiec!ed at that
early u.tv to originate a name so
permeated with jioetie effusiveness.
Then "Mr. Dicher Ben" makes some
assertions about Cupt Tissue's progeny
that w ill uot bear the light of investi
gation. Isaac Tissue, father of Mr.
A. N. Tissue, was not a grandson of
Capt Tissue, Mr. "Dicher B.-n" and
the History of Somerset County to the
contrary notwithstanding, but a son by
his second wife. By his first wife, who
was most likely a German, as was the
Captain, or at least of German extrac
tion, the Captain had three children,
the two little boys, as the writer stated,
and a small baby. In the hurry of pre
paring the paper referred to the writer
forgot to say anything alsait the fate of
this child. In the confession which
the German made to Captain Tissue
after his capture, he stated that after
he had killed the Captain's w ife, cut up
the Ixxly and put it under the floor as
stated, set fire to the house and with
the two little Imivs hail gone to the hay
mow, he remenilsi'red the liaby in the
cradle. Leaving the lwys in the hay
mow or barn he went Imck to the house,
which by this time was in flames, in
tending to bring the baby to the liarn
also; but when he got to the house and
looked through the window, the child
had climljcd out of the cradle and was
creeping under the bed. Just then th J
roof and ceiling fell in, and, of course
all was over. This statement from be
ginning to end is substantially true, as
Cupt Tissue was a friend and acquaint
ance of the writer's father, who has
given the particulars to the writer a
great many times.
The writer can not tell who Jacob
Tissue was, but he was not Isaac Tis
sue's father. The little bova lived I"
la? pretty old men, but they were prac
tically idiots, presumably from the hor
rible sight witnessed in their youth
at the butchery of their mother.
Burgess Welfley, in a recent conver
sation with the writer, said he had
lieen informed bv his uncle Israel
Welflev that the murderer had cut the
Sk
Ikvs' tongues in such a way as to pre
vent them from talking plainly. 1 his,
however, is hardly probable, as the
writer's father .would have sjKiken of
it ; and liesides, the reasons above giv
en would seem to be sufficient
Capt Tissue was in the revolutionary
army when this murder occurred and
was in the war afterwards. He was
not married the second time until some
years after the war. Jacob Tissue was
most likely an elder brot her of Isaac's,
but he was not his father.
The German did not live long after
his incarceration in the Bedford jail.
At this late day there is no way, so far
as the writer knows, of verifying the
length of time he lived, or the isWib'e
treatment he met with at the hands of
Captain Tissue on the w ay to the jail,
since there was no one with thein.
Neither is there any waj' now to ascer
tain the exact date of the murder ; but
of two things "Dicher Ben" can rest
assured : that Capt Tissue was in the
war at the time, and afterwards. It is.
quite likely that "Dicher Ben" is cor
rect as to the date of Isaae Tissue s
birth, as the writer's father was some
years younger, and he was born in
179 i. "Dicher Ben" is nio!.t likely.
and the writer thinks certainly in error
aUuit Isaac Tissue being born in Klk
Lick, unless indeed the whole southern
part of the county was called Klk Lick.
If "Dicher Ben" is correct aliout the
maiden name of Cant Tissue's second
wife, then, the presumption, is that
he was born somewhere in Tur
keyfoot, probably on the very farm on
which he died and where he always
lived. Isaac Tissue had brothers, one
of whom was a great fighter; and
Isaac himself was no slouch when it
came to a knock down argument The
name Tissue as variously anglicized is
now usually spelled as the writer has
been spelling it, but the German spel
ling of course would la somewhat dif
ferent Why "Dicher Ben" should
make the assertion that the name is of
English and not of German extraction
is beyond the writer's ken. It Is Ger
man all over aud all through, and the
Captain, if not absolutely born in Ger
many, of which there can lie very little
doubt, was bjrn of German parents.
He may not have been ho poetic in his
nature as "Nixfurstay's" German of
Keyser's Ridge, but he was a plain
every day, patriotic, liberty-loving
man.
The history of Somerset County says
"a man named Tissue, who proliably
came from New Jersey, was the first
settler on the lands where Confluence
now stands." This is incorrect, as the
record shows that all the lands there
were taken up, or at least occupied,
long before, some undoubtedly as early
as 17fV. Since the history is so mani
festly incorrect in regard to the murder
of Cant Tissue's wife and the fate of
the murderer, it is not surprising that
it should be mistaken in othor matters.
The story about the murderer being
ahot and wrenching his wounded toes
off by setting his uninjured foot on
them is the veriest bosh, as nothing of
the kind ever occurred.
"Dicher Ben's conclusions will not
admit of investigation further, since
he relies on hi "own jiersonal opin
ion" too much when he says : "When
Cant Tissue joined the army he
brought hi wife into the house or
OJL
neighborhood of her father William
Rash and after his return from the
army at the close of the war settled on
the laud where a part of Confluence
now is." This Is all true, except as
the writer has proven that the Cap
tain was in the war N-fore and after
the murder ; and be did not bring hi
wife to the hoiiM of her father liecause
he w as not married to her then, but
was married after the waft But he
did, after his return from the war,
"settle on the land where a part of
Confluence now is."
Addison, Pa M.
Pinned in a Wreck.
A Western railroad man who was
visiting Washington recently told a
Star reporter the following story :
I was riding on the S.-ttfle, North
Shore and Western R iilr,ad four years
ago when the engine went through a
trestle into a shallow stream. The en
gineer, Jim ISityle, was timh-r the loe;
motive, and two other train hands were
holding his he ld up out of (lie water
when I reached the sst.
From just alve the knees bis lnly
wasuiiinjurcd, but the lower partsof
his legs were crushed flat and held in a
vie which knew no loosening.
Several miles above, some Chinese
miners were working, and they damm
ed up the water every night before quit
ting, letting it loose again when they
liegan to wash dirt next day.
The engineer lay in water of sufficient
depth to prevent a doctor, even if he
had lieen present, from amputating his
legs, and there was the added danger
that at any time the Chinese might set
the water loose and thus drown the in
jured man.
Boyle lay there in what must have
lieeti agony certainly, and with the wa
ter barely below his mouth and icy
cold at that, and never whimicrcd.
He inquired calmly if a coffer dam
couldn't le buiit around him, and
when this was found to te imjios.-ibIe
lie asked that his wife be sent for he
lived a few stations back to come up
on the wrecking train. Then heaked
for a smoke and putted away at a pipe
as contentedly, to all appearances, as if
he had Ihvii in his engine cab.
Tiie trainmen relieved each other.
and the passengers also txk turns in
holding Boyle's head aliove the wafer,
anil as the hours wore away every lxdy
seemed to feel the awful strain but
Bovle.
Shortly before noon a welcome toot
was heard to the south of us. and Boyle
heard it.
"I'll U t the cigars that Clara's alioard
that train," was all he said.
It was tiie wrecking train, and the
first person oflit was a white-faced
little woman with tightly compressed
lils. She knew the state of affairs, and
went silalgtifto tiwr cut nd i--
its awful bottom with unhesitating
..... a a 1
stejis. Mie took her husoalld s neau in
her arms and kissed him.
'My legs are gone sure, Clara," said
the man, witli a smile.
"Well, your heart's all right," she re-
sjsnidetl cheerfully.
There was no hopelessness i it her aj-
jicarance, no matter how full her heart
might have been.
Someone came rushing down witli
the startled cry, "Tiie Chinamen have
U gun washing V Neither the man
nor the woman showed a bit of fear.
"Let me have the gun, dear," he
pleaded.
"You'd die with a sin on your soul,"
he replied. "I'll do it, darling, and
live to square myself."
That woman had come prepared to
kill the man she loved in preference to
letting him die a most horrible death
in a flood of dirt and sand and gravel.
An Englishman, who had lit-n a
passenger on the train, appeared at
this juncture with an implement shai
ed something like a mattock. No one
knew where he got it.
"Mayle we can scrape the liottem
away under Boyle's legs and drag him
out, or what's left of him, anyhow,"
he suggested.
He went to work. Every now and
then he would strike the crushed legs
of the engineer, and ejaculate, "I leg
your pardon," and Boyle would invari
ably reply, "No harm done, general."
In ten minutes he a-ked Boyle to
brace himself and motioned to the men i
at his side.
B-.vylc's anus and shoulders were
quickly grasped by muscular train
men ; there was a strong jerk and lioyle
was re'cOsed.
Even in that supreme moment of
agony, when he was laid on me sine oi
the cut, with masses of bWi.ing, crush
ed, quivering tlwsh and bone, where his
feet and knees had been, he hoked up
to the Englishman and said :
"General, tlianks; you are a brick,
and then fainted in his wife's arms.
Ten minutes later the cut was ten
feet deep, with a bubbling, hissing,
rapid stream of yellow water. Wash

Incidents in Ministerial Lifa-
ItV. KKV. T. J. I'.KI-T'iW.
That tiie Creator has N'stowed upon
mankind a sense of huiii r f-r which
we should be thankful, and, that it Is
useful in its prtqu-r plaiv, is everywhere
acknowledged. Perhajis in no calling
is the humorous side of things more
noticed, than in that of a preacher.
Wliile a display of tills is out of order
in a sermon or a religious service, yet
in daily life it Is very healthful in shak
ing out the cobwelH which otherwise
might lodge in the brain. A classmate
of mine used to tell a gssl story of a
man who had U -iueai!r:i;ik.-tr I, and,
a everything e!e bad Is-cn tri-. in
the way of reformation, it was sug
gested that if some ghostly apcaruhce
were suddenly b confront and admon
ish him it might work like a charm.
So one nL'lit, as itli tw i-ted -tcps Hu
man was returning home from bis ca
rotisal by a lonely graveyard, a voice
from the toinlis acisistcd him. It was
all in vain; for the answer the ghost
received was: '"Say, old man, is it the
geii'rl (hie) resurrection, or have you
come out on your own account?"
It is serioiwly statist that a young
minister of undoubted ability and yet
single, failed to secure a call from an
impirUtnt charge for which he was a
candidate by preaching from the text:
"My Heart is Fixed." That a pi tears
in that case to have fixed him.
I iis said of a young minister that,
returning from his own wedding trip,
lie concluded tin the first Sunday to
preach c.ne of l:is old sermons over
again. Tiie congregation was synipa- '
thftic uud exiicctaiit. Judge then, of
their surprise, when he nnnouncvd for
bis text: "The troubles of my heart
are enlarged: O bring thou me out of
U! V distress,-." He had picked up an
old manuscript without s much as
lisiking at the subject.
An Episcopalian min:.-ter relates that
at a marriage at which he was officiat
ing, the groom said in nervous haste:
"Vi:h all my gsd!y words I thee en
dow," in-tead of "worldly goods," a
it reads in the service of that church.
"We want," said the minister, "just
now, your worldly gosls, rather than
gisslly words."
Tiie unseemly practice of the indis
criminate eulogy of the dead at funerals
gave an opportunity for a Dutchman to
say to a miiii-ter, who otVicialed at one
in Chicago: "Mine friendt, did you
know the corpse veil he vas alive?"
A Dutchman himself, however, of
ficiating at the f.ineral of a friend, in
giving a catabgue of his gissl nihilities,
wound up with the remark: "did he
vas a "ood eeiiinoker."
There are many good things record
ed in regard t. the forget fall less and
nervousness of some preachers. Dr.
Robinsosi, of New York, was assisting
a pastor in an eastern city on a certain
day. When he entered the pulpit wit!
him he noticed that the choir was
somewhat cliilurr.tssed and seemed to
! holding a consultation. Presently
the hader came and a-ked for the list
of hymns fiTthat service. "Why," said
the pastor, "I gave you the nunilvrs."
The musician then handed him lck
a list, not of hymns, but to his horror,
one that his wife gave him when he
went down town Saturday afternoon.
Among the things enumerated were
hair pins, and a Imttle of patent food
for the baby.
In some churclu's an elder or some
official makes the announcements.
The pa-tor in one instance requested
that notice ! given that the prayer
meeting on Wednesday evening would
be omitted f.r that Week, aud was
amused as well as wasthecongrefcation
by hearing tiie good man anuounce:
"There will be no Wednesday evening
this week.
The Scutch are proverbial for their
dry and caustic wit. A highland min
ister, n itieing that one of his hearers
was inattentive, paused and said:
"Sandy are ye hearin'?" "Yes," said
tht Highlander, "but to verra little
purpose."
Dr. Black ie, who, as a profound
scholar and sympathetic man, was
brought into contact w ith many theo
logical students, expected to lie away
from home on a certain day and placed
this written notice on the class-room
door "Dr. Black ie will not meet his
classes to-day." A student read this
aud cra-cd the letter "e," so that it
read: "Dr. Blaekie will not meet his
lasses to-day." But when the genial
Dr. tame alo.ig he erased the next let
ter "1" so that it read: "Dr. Blaekie
will not meet his as-es to-day."
A minister in the land of Robert
Burns, having preached a powerful ser
mon on temperance in which he very
minutely dcscriUsl the syniptoiis of in
toxication, was thus praised by a hear
er: 1 hat was a gisxi sernion; inn uie
minister has Uvn a lad in his day, I
tell ve." Even in the most sacred
places there will sometimes oecur
things with humor in them.
It is well known that the b:loved
and learned Dean Stanley, of West
minster Ab'ncv, was very quiet in his
manner and delivery in preaching.
Going home after preaching there one
day, he remarked to his wife that the
p.siple regarded him with so much at
tention, scarcely removing their eyes
during the discourse. "And no won
der," was the rejoinder, "wheu you
had a atir of gloves balanced upon
your head the whole time." The gloves
had been deposited in his hat in the
first instance and when it was remov
ed in a staid and dignified manner they
ret laincd on the head of the famous
ecclesiastic.
The faculty of humor and the sense
of the ludicrous are not con lined to any
class of men. There are many good
things saitl about the humor of the he
roic Abraham Lincoln; none perhais
are quite so good, we think, as the fol
lowing: A wealthy Englishman was
visiting this country and sought an
interview w ith Lincoln, who was then
President They had quite a pleasant
chat aud were speaking of tiie little
difference in the manners and custom
of the two nations wheu the English
man said: "And Mr. President, no
gentleman in England blacks his own
shoes." "f hen what other fellow's
shoes d.K-s he black'."' was the charac
teristic reply.

very hasty gciicr.dization, when, in li e
recent trial of an alimony ms-, he in

w is-' and prudent, Uini ovt r their earn
ings ti their wives as the nt-i-t is.mp.
teiit stewards of the household.
It is a practice which prevails ex
tensively anions careful waire tamers.
The wife is the family trea-'inr, to
whose keeping the h;i-!.ind intrusts
his wagr-s. If she is a good woman,
she has only the interest of the family
at heart, and if she is a prudent woman
she can dispense its income more econ
omically than he. She understands
U tter its needs is more unselfish, k-s
liable to st-If-indtilgehiv and a more
skillful purveyor. Temptations to
waste money in excesses, which lie-so"
him, d not attack her. It Jus not s
readily b-.irn holes through her jsn-kets
as through his. She is U tter able t
get its worth in substantial comfort
and nt-cissitits. Many men know
how to make money, very few how t-
use it w isely and keep it; and hcr.o
among wage earners it frequently bap
pens that the husband acknowledge
that the wife is the s ip -rior liaaucier
by putting in her keeping his Saturday
night's wages. Posi!,!y he may re
tain a trilling stun for his alisolutely
necessary Iiersonal exiclises, but often
times he gives up to her all of it, and
she supplies h'un with what he re-q-.iin.-s.
By so doing the man escap s tempta
tions to ex:ra ag-iuc." aud sch-iudulg-eiice
which would lv irresistible if he
carried ab u: his wages in his jsiek -t
as b ith the br-a I winner and treasurer
of the hou-ciioM, with thee nse,UciKv
of suffering for the family and n. sav
imrs laid by against a rainy day.
Where he is weak his wife may K
strong. Asa matter of fact, a great
part of the savings bank account of
married nun earning, waits are kept
up by their teoiiomh-al and self-denying
wives. Gem-rally the wives are
much less disposed t- extravagance
than the huslttiids. They do not smoke
and they do not treat. As good moth
ers they may !e anxious to have their
children present a niio? appearance, but
they are very sparing in expenditure
m their own dress. Bridget, tx,
wants to keep Patrick straight, and
she knows his liesctting weaknesses).
She doesn't want him to have too
much money, for she knows it is not
good for him. She had rather ltiild
up an account in the savimrs Iwnk for
the time when he loses his job. She
may discipline him severely on occa
sions but then in his rt-U-lIion he
knows that he ntssls the restraint
The remark of the judge, therefore,
was too sweeping. The Ins-t thing
many a mau can do with hi earnings
Is to turn them over to his wife. If she's
a Ir.wl woman, unworthy of the trust,
heaven help him! He i a wretched
creature. If she is a vain and silly and
st lf-iiidtilgcnt woman, he has a load
on his liack which will lie likely to
keep him dow n always. A woman to
whom a poor man cannot trust bis
money Is no fit wife for hiiii.
