How We got a Homo.
THE other evening I came home with
an extra ten-dollar bill In my pocket
money that I bad earned by out-of-doors
work. The fact la, I'm a clerk In
a down-town atore, at it salary of f 000
per annum, and a pretty wife and baby
to support out of it.
I suppose this Income will sound
amazingly small to your two and three
thousand dollar oftlce-holders,but never
theless we contrive to live very comfort
ably upon it. We live on one floor of
an unpretending little house, for which
we pay $150 per annum, and Kitty, my
wife, you'll understand does all her
own house work ! so that we lay up a
neat little sum every year. I've got a
balance of two or three hundred dollars
at the savings' bank, the hoard of sever
al years, and it Is astonishing how rich
I feel 1 Why, Itothsohlld himself isn't
a clroumsUnce to me 1
Well, I came home with my extra bill
and showed it triumphantly to Kitty,
who of course was delighted with my
industry and thrift.
" Now, my love," said I, "Just add this
to our account at the bank, with inter
est at the end of the year'
Forthwith I commenced casting in
terest and calculating in my brain.
Kitty was silent, and rocking the cradle
musingly with her foot. .
" I've been thinking Harry," she said
after a moment's pause, " that since you
have this extra money we might afford
to buy a new rug. This Is getting dread
ful shabby, my dear, you must see."
I looked dolefully at the rug ; It
was worn and Bhabby enough, that was
a fact.
" I can get a beautiful new velvet pat
tern for seven dollars," resumed my
wife.
" Velvet seven dollars 1" groaned I.
" Well then a common tufted rug like
this would only cost three," said my
cautious better-half, who, seeing she
couldn't carry her first ambitious point,
wisely withdrew her guns.
" That's more sensible," said I." Well
we'll see abqut it."
" And there's another thing I want,"
continued my wife, putting her hand
coaxingly on my shoulder, " and It's not
at all extravagant, either."
" What Is it V" I asked, softening rap
Idly. I saw Buch a lovely dress pattern on
Canal street, this morning, aud I can
get it for Bix dollars only six dollars,
Harry I It's the cheapest thing J ever
saw."
" But haven't you Rot a very pretty
silk dress V"
"That old thing! Why, Harry I've
worn it eVer since we've been married."
" Is it soiled or ragged V
"No, of course; but who wants to
wear the same green dress forever K Ev
erybody knows Its the only silk I have.'
" Well what then V"
" That's JUBt a man's question," pout
ed Kitty. "And I suppose you have
not observed how old-fashioned my bon
net is getting V"
" Why, I thought it looked very neat
and tasteful since you put on that black
velvet trimming.
Of course you men have no taste in
such matters."
We were silent for a moment ; I'm
afraid we both felt a little cross and out
of humor with one another. In fact on
my journey home, I had entertained se
rious thoughts of exchanging my old
silver time piece for a modern gold
watch, and had mentally appropriated
the f 10 to furthering that purpose. Savings-bank
reflections had come later.
As we sat before our fire, each wrap
ped in thought, our neighbor, Mr. Wll
mot, knocked at the door. He was em
ployed at the same store with myself,
and his wife was an old family friend.
" I want you to congratulate me," he
sa! d, taking a seat. " I have purchased
that little cottage out on the Blooming
ton road to-day."
"What! that beautiful little cottage
with the piazza and lawn, and fruit gar
den behind V" exclaimed Kitty, almost
enviously.
"Is it possible V" I cried.
A little cottage home of my own, just
like that on the Bloomlngdale road had
always been the crowning ambition of
my life a distant and almost hopeless
point, but no less earnestly desired. '
" Why, Wilmot," said I, " how did
this happen V you've only been in bus
iness eight or ten years longer than I, at
a salary but a trifle larger than mine,
yet I could as soon buy up the mint as
purchase a cottage like that."
" Well," aald my neighbor, " we have
all been working to this end for years.
My wife has darned, patched, mended
and saved we lived on plain fare, and
done with the cheapest things. But the
magic charm of the whole affair was
that we laid aside every penny that was
not needed by actual positive want, Yes
I have seen my wife lay by red coppers
one by one. , , , .1 , ,
" Well, you arv a iucky fellow," said
I with a sigh.
"Times are hard, you known, jut
now ; the owner was not what you call
an economical man, and he was glad to
sell even at a moderate price, Ho you
see even " hard times'' have helped
rnel" .
When our neighbor was gone, Kitty
aud I looked meaningly at one anoth
er. " Harry," said she, " the rug Isn't so
bad after all, aud my green silk, will do
for a year longer, with care."
" And a sliver watch is quite as good
for all practical purposes as a gold re
peater," said I. " We will set aside all
imaginary wants 1"
" The ten-dollar bill must go to the
bank," said Kitty, "and I'll economise
the coppers, Just as Mrs. Wilmot did. O,
how happy she will be among the roses
in that cottage garden next spring."
Our merry tea-kettle sung us a cheer
ful little song over the glowing fire that
night and the burden was "Economy
and a home of your own, amid the roses
and the country air !"
JIM WOLFE AND THE TOM CATS.
1KNEW by the sympathetic glow
upou his bald head I knew by the
thoughtful look upon his face I knew
by the emotional flush upon the straw
berry on the end of the old free liver's
nose, that Blmon Wheeler's memory
was busy with the olden time. And so
I prepared to leave, because all these
were symptoms of a reminlscence-slgus
that he was going to be delivered of an
other of his tiresome personal experi
ences but I was too slow ; he got the
start of me. As nearly as I can recol
lect, the Infliction was couched in the
following language :
" We was all boys then, and didn't
care for nothing only how to shirk
school and keep up a revlvln' state of
devilment all the time. Thlsb yar Jim
Wolfe I was talking about, was the
'prentice, and he wbb the best hearted
feller, he was, and the most forgtvin' an
onselfish, I ever see well, thar couldn't
be a more bulliflcr boy than what he
was take him how you would ; and sor
ry enough I was when I seen blm for
the last time.
" Me aud Henry was always pestering
him and plastering boss bills on his
back, and putting bumble-bees in his
his bed, and so on, and sometimes we'd
crowd in aud bunk with him, not'th
standlng his growling, and then we'd
let on to get mad abd fight acrost him,
so as to keep him stirred up like. He
was nineteen, he was, and long, and
lank and bashful, and we was fifteen
and sixteen, and tolerably lazy and
worthless.
"Bo that night, you know, that my
sister Mary gave the candy pullln' they
started us oil' to bed early, so as the com
pany could have full Bwlng,and we rung
on Jim to have some fun.
" Our window looked out unto the
roof of the ell, and about 1Q o'clock a
couple of tom-cats got to rarln' and
chargin' around on It and carryln' on
like sin. There was four Inches of snow
on the roof and it was froze so that there
was a right smart crust of ice on it, and
the moon was shinln' bright, and we
could see them cats like daylight. First
they'd stand off and e-yow-yow-yow,
just the same as if they was cusnln' one
another, you know, and bow up their
backs and bush up their tails, and swell
around and spit,and then all of a sudden
the gray cat he'd snatch a handful of
fur off theyaller cat's ham, and spin
him around like a button on a barn
door. But the yaller cat was game, and
he'd come and clinch, and the way they
would gouge, and bite, and howl, and
the way they'd make the fur fly was
powerful.
" Well, Jim he got disgusted with the
row and 'lowed he'd climb out there and
shake 'em off'n that roof. He had reely
no notion of doln' it, likely, but we ev
erlastingly dogged him and bully ragged
him and 'lowed he'd always bragged
how he wouldn't take dare, and so on,
till bimeby he histed up the winder, and
lo, and behold you he went went Just
as he was nothln' on but' a shirt, and
it was short. You ought to a seen him
creepln' over that Ice, and dlggln' his
toe nails and his finger nails in for to
keep him from slippln' ; and above all
you ought to a seen that shirt a ftappin'
in the wind, and them long, redickloua
shanks of his'n a gllstenin' in the
moon light.
'Them comp'ny folks was down thar
under the eaves, the whole squad of 'em
under that ornery shed of dead Wash'
ton Bower vines. all sett'n round about
two dozen sassers of hot candy, which
they sot in the snow to cool. And thar
was laughln'and talkin' lively; but
bless you, tbey didn't know nothing
about the panarama that was going on
over their heads. Well, Jim, he went a
sueakln' and a sneakin up onbeknown
to them tom-cats they was a swlshin'
their tails and a yow-yowln, and threat
enln' to clinch you know.and not payin'
any attention, he went a sneakin' and a
sneakin' right up to the comb of the
roof, till he was in a foot an' a half of
'em, and then all of a sudden he made a
grab for the yaller cat ! But, by gosh, he
missed fire and slipped his holt, an' his
heels flew up an' he flopped unto his
back and shot off'n that roof like a dartl
went a smashtn' aud a crashln down
through them old rusty vines and head-
ed right in the dead centre of all them
comp'ny people I Bet down like a yarlh
quake In them two dozen sassers of red
hot candy, and let off a bowl that was
hark from the tomb I
" Them girls well, they left, you
know. They see he warn't dressed for
comp'ny, and so they left. All done In
a second; it was just one little war
whoop and a whish 1 of their dresses,
and blame the wench of 'em was in
sight anywhere!
"Jim, ha was in sight 1 He was
gormed with the bollin' hot molasses
candy clean down to his heels, and had
more busted sassers hangln' to him than
if he was a Japan princess and he came
a prancin' up stairs Just a whoopln' an
a cussln', and every jump he gave he'd
shed some china, and every squirm he
fetched he dripped some candy.
"Aud blistered! Why, bless your
soul, that poor creetur couldn't reely set
down comfortably for as much as four
weeks.'
A COOL DARKEY.
AN Important case was being tried be
fore the Criminal Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia. An old colored man
was on the witness-stand. The district
attorney had before him a long list of
convicted criminals. After glancing at
it, he thus interrogated the witness
" What is your name V"
"John Williams, sah."
" Are you the John Williams who
was sent to the Albany Penitentiary for
larceny V"
"No sah-not this John."
"Are you the John Williams who
was sent to the district goal for as
sault V"
No sah not this John."
"Are you the John Williams who
was convicted of arson, apd sent to the
Baltimore Penitentiary i1"
" No sah."
Tired of asking fruitless questions, the
district attorney suddenly put a leading
one. , .
" Have you ever been In any peniten
tiary ?"
Yes sah V"
All eyes were now turned upon the
witness. The district attorney smiled
complacently, and resumed.
" How many times have you been in
the penitentiary V"
" Twlbe sah."
." Where V"
" In Baltimore, sah."
"How long were you there the first
time V '
About two hours, sah."
" How long the second time V" asked
the attorney rather crest-fallen.
"An hour, sab. I went there to
white-wash a cell for a lawyer who had
robbed his client."
The attorney sat down amid the
laughter of the spectators.
, , , i
HOW I WAS SOLD
I NEVER undertook but once to set
at naught the authority of my wife.
You know her way cool, quiet, but as
determined as ever grew. Just after we
married, and all was going on nice and
cozy, she got me in the habit of doing
all the churning. Bhe never asked me
to do It, you know, but then she why
It was done in just this way. Bhe fin
ished breakfast one morning, slipped
away ' from the table, she filled the
churn with cream, and set it just where
I couldn't help seeing just what she
wanted. Bo I took hold regularly
enough and churned till the butter
came. Bhe didn't thank me, but looked
so sweet and nice about it that I felt
well paid. Well, when the next churn
ing day came along she did the same
thing, and I followed suit and fetched
the butter. Again, and it was done just
so, and I was regularly in for It every
time. . Not a word was said, you know
of course. Well, by and by this became
rather irksome. I wanted she should
just auk me, but she never did, and I
couldn't say anything about it, so on we
went. At last I made a resolve that I
would not churn another time unless
she asked me. Churning day came, and
when my breakfast she always got nice
breakfast when that was swallowed
there stood the churn. I got up, and
standing a few mlnntes, just to give her
a chance, put on my hat and walked out
doors. I stopped in the yard to give ber
a chance to call me, but not a word said
she, and so with a palpitating heart I
moved on. I went down town, up town
and all over town, and my foot was as
restless as Noah's dove I felt as if
had done a wrong I didn't exactly
kown how but there was an indescrib
able sensatlou of guilt resting upon me
all forenoon. It seemed as if dinner
time would never come, and as for going
home one minute before dinner, I would
as soon cut off my ears. Bo I went fret
ting and moping around till dinnertime
Home I went, feeling much as a crini
inal must when the jury is having in
their hands his destiny life or death.
I couldn't make up my mind how she .
would meet me, but some sort of a storm
I expected, Will you believe It V she
never greeted me with a sweeter smile
never had a better dinner for me than
on tnat uay ; but there was the
the churn just where I left It I Not a
word was passed. I felt cut, and every
mouthful of that dinner seemed as if it
would choke me. Khe did not pay any
regard to it, however, but went on as if
nothing had happened.- Before dinner .
was over I had again resolved, and
shoving back my chair I marched up to
the churn and went at it the old way.
Bplash, drip, rattle I kept it up. As if
In spite the butter was never so long In
coming. I supposed the cream standing
so long had got warm, so I redoubled
my efforts. Obstinale matter the after
noon wore away while I was churning..
I paused at last from real exhaustion,
when she spoke for the first time i
" Come Tom, my dear, you have rat
tled that buttermilk quite long enough,
if it is only for fuu that you are doing
it."
I knew how it was in a flash. Bhe
had brought the butter in the forenoon,
and left the churn standing with the
buttermilk In for me to exercise with.
I never set up for household matters af
ter this. ' '
- - -
Curious.
The conduct of people in great crises
is a wonderful puzzle. Take the Bea-
wanhaka disaster, and we read of a
man who stood on the deck and burned
to death in spite of all urging to jump
into the water. ' He was so perplexed
that he utterly forgot self. On the other '
band, some of the rescued people In the
small boats were clamorous to get ashore
and did all they could to prevent rescues
until they themselves were on land.
Buch utter selfishness Is hard to believe
Among the rescued, one old woman,
whose hand-bag containing $375 had
been saved for her, was so indignant at
the loss of six pairs of wiudow fasteners
that she compelled the people of the
hospital who bad taken care of her to
send for six new fasteners. Bhe also
wanted a diver who was going down to
be ordered to look for her spectacles. A
very indignant mau called at IlandallV
Island for his carpet bag, and learning,
that it was lost, threatened a law suit at
once. This led to a new search and It
was finally found. It contained a pair
of stockings, chemise, and a comb and
brush. A singular fact connected ' with
steamboat disasters is that the dead al
ways have their pockets turned inside
out. They are regularly found so. The
truth seems to be that some utterly lose
their heads, and on the other hand the
trying hour develops a cunning deviltry
in others that is something for human
nature to blush at. Robbery is a sure
element of every great accident that
renders it possible.
A Long Absence.
John B. Davidson left Norwich,
Conn., twenty-eight years ago to sail the
seas, and make his fortune, or never to
return to his father's roof. Be landed
in New York last week and at once di
rected bis steps to the old home In Con
necticut, from which he had received no
news during all those years. In the
house where his parents once lived he
found an oyster counter and near by his
father's sign-board, " W. P. Davidson,
Shoemaker." He entered the shop,
found his father, bargained for a pair of
boots talked about the old man's son
whom he pretended to have known in
Australia. Th6 old man was delighted
to meet a man who had seen bis boy and
talked vigorously of him ; and when the
middle-aged man declared himself the
son, the father was at first not ready to
believe it ; but the proof was positive.
The son had prospered in Australia and
had returned a rich man.
Made a Noise.
A 'young roan in Sheboygan, Wis.,
concluded to make a little noise in the
world. Bo be fixed up a length of gas
pipe to load and fire off, plugging the
end toward him with a piece of wood.
In loading it he pressed the plugged end
close up to his side to keep it in place,
when it accidentally went off at the
wrong end, sending the piece of wood
(with a charge of two ounces of powder)
into his side and stomach. He died
shortly after.
