THE WAY TO KEEP HIM. 1
"Outa.crain to night?" saicPMrs. ILiy-es,
Fretfully, as her husband rose from the tea
table, ami donned hia great coat.
"Yes, 1 have an engagement with Moore,
I .shall be in early , have a light in the li
brary, (iood niirht." And with a careless
nod. William Hayes left the room. '
"Always the way," murmured Lizzie
Hayes, sinking hack upon the sofa. "Out
every night. I don't believe he cares one
bit a!ot me now, and yet we have been
married only two years. No man can have
a mure orderly house, I am sure, I never go
anywhere, I am not a bit extravagant ; and
yet I don't believe he loves me any more.
Uh, dear, why is it? I wasn't rich; he did
not marry uie for money, and he must have
loved uie then ; why does he treat me with
so much neglect?" .And with her mind fill
ed with such frightful queries, Lizzie fell
fcjleep on the sofa.
lift nie paint her picture as she lay there,
he was a blonde, with a small graceful fig
ure, and a pretty face. The hair which
fhowed be its rich waves its natural tenden
cy to curl, was brushed smoothly back, and
gathered into a rich knot at the back 'twas
fueh a bother to curl it,she said her cheek
wis pale, and the whole face wore a discon
tented expression. ITer dross was a neat
rliinrz wrapper, but she wore neither collars
nor sleeves. "What's the use of dressing
up just for William':"'
Lizzie slept smnd'yfor two hours, an 1
then awoke sud lenly. She sat up, glanced
at the clock, and sighed drearily at the pros
J ect of the long interval stiil to be spent be
fore bedtime.
The library was just over the room in
which she sat, and down the furnace-flue,
through the register, a voice came to the
yoiuiir wife's ears. It was her husband's.
Wel'. Moore, what's a man to do? I
nm.-t i.ive pleasure somewhere. Who
would have fancied that Lizzie Jarvis, so
l-retty, sprightly, and loving, could change
to the fretful dowdy she is now? Who
wants to stay at home to hear his wite whin
ins all the evening about her troublesome
servants, and her headache and all sorts of
Whers? She's got the knack ot that drawl
ing whine so pat, 'pon my life I don't be
lieve she can speak pleasantly."
Lizzie sat as if stunned. Was this true?
She looked in the glass. If not exactly dow
dy, her costume was certainly not suitable
for an evening with only William to admire.
he rose and softly went to her room, with
hitter, sorrowful thoughts, and a firm reso
lution to win back her husband's heart, and
then, his love regained, to keep it.
The next morning William came into the
breakfast room with his usual careless man
ner, but a bright smile came on his lips as
he saw Lizzie. A pretty chintz, with neat
collar and sleeves of snow white muslin, with
wreath of soft full curls, had really meta
morphosed her ; while the blush her hus
band's admiring glance called up to her
cheek did not detract from her beauty. At
first William thought there must be a guest,
hut glancing around, he found they were
alone. : . ' . -
' Come, William, your coffee will soon be
cold," said Lizzie in a cheerful, pleasant
voie
"It must cool till you sweeten my break
fast with a kiss," said her husband crossing
the room to her side," and Lizzie's heart
hounded as she recognized the old lover's
tone and manner.
Not one fretful speech, not one complaint
Ml upon William's ear through the meal.
The newspaper, the usual solace or that
hour, lay untouched, as Lizzie chatted gaily
on every pleasant topic she could think of,
farming by his grateful interest and cordial
manner. . . . .
"Vou will he at home to dinner ?J,he
suu, as he went out.
"Can't to-day, Lizzie ; I've business out
f town; but I'll J be home early to tea.
Have something substantial, fori don't ex
JcUo dine. Good bye. ' And the smiling
look, warm kiss, and lively whistle were a
marked contrast to his lounging, careless
?t of the previous evening. .' ''m -m
"I amin the right path," said Lizzie in a
ow whisper. ' 'Oh, what a fool I have been
ior the last two years ! 4 A fretful dowdy 1 '
iljiarn, you shall never say that again."

ant tnn mi own, 1 m determined.
Tea came, and William came with it A
little figure in a tasty, bright silk dress,
smooth curls, pnd oh I such a lovely blush
and smile, stood ready to welcome William
as he came in ; and tea-time passed as the
morning, meal had done. After tea there
was no movement as usual towards the hat
rack. William stood up beside the table,lin
geringand chatting, until Lizzie arose. ' She
led him to the light, warm parlors, in their
pretty glow or tastetul arrangement, and
drew him down on the sofa beside her. He
felt as if he was courting over again, as he
watched her fingers, busv with some fancv
needle work, and listened to the cheerful
voice he had loved so dearly two years before.
. ."What are you making, Lizzie ?" .
""A 'pair of slippers. Don't you remem
ber how much you admired the pair I work
ed for you-oh ! ever so long ago ?"
."I remember black velvet, with flowers
on them. I used to put my feet on the fen
ders and dream of blue eves and bright curls,
and wished time would move faster to the
day when I could bring my bonny wife homi
to t'jake music in mv house." ' ;
Lizzie V face saddened for a moment as
she thought oi 'he last two years, and how
little musicshe had mi.de for i.'s loving heart,
gradually weaning it fro'.m its 2legiancew
and then she said: , '
"I wonder if you love music as weil as you
did then?" -
"Of course I do. I very often drop into
Mrs. Smith's for nothing else than to hear
the music."
"I can play and sing better than Mrs.
Smith," said Lizzie, pouting. '
"But you always say you are out of prac
tice when I ask you."
"I had the piano tui.ed this morning.
Now open it and we will see how it sounds."
William obeyed joyfully, and tossing asido
her sewing, Lizzie took the piano stool. She
had a verv sweet voice, not powerful, but
most musical, and was a very lair perform
er on the piano.
"Ballads, Lizzie?"
"Oh, yes, I know you dislike opera music
in a parlor."
One song aftrr another, with a nocturne,
or lively instrumental piece, occasion ally, be
tween them, filled up anotherhour pleasantly.
The little mantel clock struck eleven.
"Eleven ! I thought it was about nine. I
ought to apologize, Lizzie, as 1 used to do,
for staying so long : and I can truly say as I
did then, that the time has passed so pleas
antly I can scarcely believe it is so late."
The piano was closed, Lizzie's work put
up in the basket, and William was ready to
fro up stairs ; but glancing back, he saw his
little wife near the fire-place, her hands
clasj ed, her head bent, and large tears fall
ing from her eyes. He was beside her in an
instant.
"Lizzie, darlin?, are you ill? What is
the matter?"
"Oh, William,! have been such a bad wife.
I heard you tell Mr. Moore last evening how
I had disappointed you ; but I will try to
make your home pleasant-. ..Indeed, I will
if you will forgive and love me.'
"Jjove vou ! Oh, Lizzie, you can t guess
how dearie I love you !"
As the little wife lay down that night she
thought,
I have won him bactt again! etter
than that, I have learned tha way to keep
him."
The Poor in New York. The annu
al report of the Board of Health gives a
view ot the way the poor live. Sixteen
thousand tenement houses, that is rookeries
devoted to this class, contain five hundred
and fifty thousand inhabitants, being eight
families to a house, besides those who live
in stable lofts and attics. Some uf the large
tenements contain a population ot eight
hundred. In t he Fourth ward two hundred
and ninety thousand persons live on a square
mile. The mortality from this mode of ex
istence is twice the rate in Liverpool, where
the heaviest population is oue hundred and
thirty-eight thousand to a square mile.
Many ot these tenements have no rooms suf
ficiently lighted to permit of sewing on a
cloudy day without the aid of candles. The
size of these rooms is generally eight feet
bv ten, or, at the outside, ten by twelve.
These, as report says, are overflowing, and
still there is a demand tor holes to creep into.
We forbear any further recital of these hor
rors, which, if read in the history of Canton
or of 1'agan Rome, would seem incredible ;
but here they are but a common fact in our
daily experience.
"Sir," said a fierce .lawyer, "do you on

"I reckon not,v was the cool reply.
"Does it resemble your handwriting?"
"Yes, sir, I think it don't."
''Bo you swear it don't resemble your
writing?"
"Well 1 do, old head."
"You take yout oath that this writing
does not resemble yours in a single letter ?'
i -e a-s, sir. ,
"Now, how do you know."
"'Cause I can't write."
Two of 'Em. A voung fellow whose
better halt had just presented him witn a
pair ot bouncing twins, attended church one
bunday. During the discourse, the clergy
man looked right at our innocent friend and
said,in atone of thrilling eloquence. "Young
man, you have an important responsibility
thrust upon you." The newly fledged dad,
supposing that the preacher alluded to his
peculiar home event, considerably startled
the audience by exclaiming, "Yes, two of
them."
"A certain young man in this region,"
says a new correspondent, "looking the oth
er morning at a picture of Cupid on a val
entine handbill, asked, "Who is that a por
trait of?" "Of Cupid," was the reply.
"Humph!" was the rejoineder; "it must
have been taken when he was very young!"
i A New way of Paying Subscriptions.
The following is an amusing account of
I the way a farmer was taught how cheaply
he could take the paper. The lesson is
worth pondering by a good many men "we
wot of."
T "You have hens at home of course. Well,
I will send you my paper: for one year, for
the product of a single hen for one season ;
and the proceeds. It soems trifling, pre
posterous, to imagine the nroduets or a sin
gle hen will pay the subscriptions : perhaps
iii u l uui x uiaxe ine oner.
. "Done," exclaimed farmer B. ., VI agree
to it," and appealed to me as a witness of
the bargain. . t . .
: The farmer went off apparently much ela
ted, with his conquest; the editor went on
nis way rejoicing. ( . ,,
Time rolled around, the world revolved
on its axis, and the sun in its orbit as it for
merly did; the farmer received his paper
regularly and regaled h'mself with the in
formation from it, and said he was surprised
at the progress of himself and family iu
general information. ' -
Some time in the month of September, I
happened to be up again in the office when
who should enter but our friend, farmer B.
"How do you do, Mr. B.?" said the edi
tor, extending his hand, his countenance lit
up" with a bland smile; "take a chair and
be seated fine weather we have:" .
"Yes, sir, quite fine indeed," he answer
ed, and then a short silence ensued, during
which our friend B. hitched his chair back
ward and forward, twirling his thumbs ab
stractly, and spit profusely. Starting up
quickly, he said, addressing the editor. "1
have brought you the proceeds of that hen.
It w isamusing to see the peculiar expres
sion of the editor, as he followed the farmer
down to the wagon. I could hardly keep
my risibles down.
. When at the wagon the farmer commen
ced b inding over to the editor the products
amounting to eighteen pullets, worlh twelve
and a half cents each, and a number of
dozensof eggs. making in the aggregate at the
least calc ilation, oue dollar and. fifty cents
more than the price of the paper. , '
"No need," said hei "of men not taking
a family newspaper, and paying for it too.
I don't miss this from my roost, yet I have
paid for a year's subscription and over. All
tolly, sir; there's no man but what c3Qtak$
a newspaper ; it's charity, you know, com
menced at home."
"But," said the editor, "I will pay you
for what is over the subscription, I did not
intend this as a means of' profit but rather J
to convince you. I will pay
' Not a bit, sir, ; a bargain is a bargain,
and L am already paid, sir doubly paid, sir.

The State Eevenue.
It may interest, says the Ledger, to know
from what source the large revenue ot the
State of Pennsylvania is derived, now that
the State taxes on real estate are abolish
ed. L-t us take a tew items from one of
the latest reports on the subject and place
them in the order of their magnitude.
Thus for example, the tax on corporation
stocks yielded last year, $1,258,900 ; the tax
on tonnage $401,741 ; the commutation of
the tonnage tax, $300,000; retailers' licen
ses, $357,1!; collateral inheritance tax,
$381,7; tavern licenses, $257,402; the
tax on loans, $278,482; tax on emoluments
offices, $163,250; tax ou gross receipts,
$132,172; tax on foreign insurance compa
nies, $12S,7aS. From these few items is
collected the large amount of $3,G20,O33.
Balance of the income of the State last
year was procured from a large number ot
other items such as taxes en wills and deeds,
on bank dividends brokers, auction duties
and qpm missions, from licenses for eating
houses, billiard rooms and bowling saloon,
peddlers, brokers, patent medicine dealers,
aud a large variety ot other sources, inclu
ding $150 from "cases of conscience."
From all these sources the large sum of a
bout five and a quarter millious of dollars
was collected during the year 18G6.
It will, perhaps, be equally interesting to
notice some of the larger items of expendi
ture to which this revenue is devoted. A
few of them, ranked in the order of their
magnitude are as follows : Interests on loans,
$1,8'J2,105; expenses of .Government,
$669,000 ; relief of the Chambersburg suf
ferers, $487,608 ; for charitable institutions,
$474,616; common schools, $324, 3o8; pen
sions and gratuities, $164,530; State Capi
tol and grounds, $121,785; House of Ref
uge, $92,500; penitentiaries, $41,085. Fol
lowing these are a variety of other small
expenditures. The total expenditures, how
ever, left the large margin of $1,867,650
surplus to be applied to the reduction of the
State debt.
Playing Cards. Cards were invented
in 1391 by Jacquemin Grugenmour, to a
muse King Henry VI, of France, who at
that time was mad. The ace was made the
best card in the pack, being derived from
the French word Argent, signifying the
money, and to show that a king could not
get along without it, as a menial card back
ed by the ace would triumph over a king.
The kings were called David, Alexander,
Caesar and Charlamagne ; the queens were
named Argine, Rachel, Palles and Judith ;
the varlets or knaves represented the squires
to the kings and were named Launcelot, O
cier. Renard and Hector: tens, nines. c.
represented the foot soldiers. The ace of
clubs was so named and formed to represent
a clover leaf, and to signify to the king that
a good general would encamp his army
where pasturage was plenty. The ace of
spades represented the halberts carried by
foot soldiers ; the ace of diamonds represen
ted the heads of the arrows used by the
cross-bowmen, and the ace of hearts repre
sented the courage of the knights and soldiers.
