BY KICHAKD HKNRYjSTODDAKD.
"There are gninsifor all our losses"
So I said when I was young.
Tf I ouujr that soiurajrairi,
'T would not be with that refrain,
Which but suits an idle tongue.
5
Youth has gone, aud hope gone with it;
tione tlie strong ucbire for fame.
Laurels are not for the old;,
T.ike them, lads; give Senq'xgc
What's an everlasting name?

Wheu my Jife was in its summer,

Now that Time has driven" his plough
In deep furrows onjhy brow? ."ST '
I'm no niorcIn'hergobU'books.'
"There arr-gains for'airour'losscs"?"
Grave beside, the winter sea,
Where my child is, and my hearty ,
For they would not live apart
What has been your gain to me?
No; the words J.sang were idle,
And will ever so remain;
Death, and Aire, and vanished Youth,
All declare this bitter truth,
There's a loss for every gain?
THE FRETTING WIFE.
"Why don't you ever clean your
bootq-011 thescrapor, William ?' said
Jane Lovett toJier husband. " hnd
just made everything nice and com-Ibi-tablp
when you cauiniii ; and now
see llie dirt wherever you've been,
from one side of the room lo I lie
other; and it must just be the same
in the entries and on every Rlair.
I'm completely tired out wilfi bru-li-
iii": and dusting "
"Fret I fret! just so every lime I
come into the house !'' ivas'AV'illiam's
soothing response. "I should think
your tongue would jjet lired."
"I do get tired of'speakiilg to you
about things which niak me' so
much trouble; and yet you do not
seem to mind them at all."
'No; and so much speaking only
makes me mind the le?s."'
'That's just as amiable as you are.
You never care how much I have to
go through, nohliow much I stiller.
Such a continual ellurt for me lo get
along!. 'My life seems a continual
struggle, just for the sake of life,"
and here Jane began to cry.
"What a fuss about a little duet on
the carpet," snapped the husband.
'Xo, it's 1.0I merely that," retort
ed the wife, in crying tone, "but yon
never seem to care how hard and
trying things- may be for me. You
care nothing lor my pleasure or
ease. You know very well I wotiln't
mind the carpet once, but it's just so
all the lime and. ahoiiL everything.
The man wjiosjiook the carpet lat
week said he never should have
tiibuglit that they had been faken up
every year if he hadn't been told so,
for he hadn't shaken such duly one
for four years. Now, why should
our house-be so much diitier than
other people's? You kno,w it'6,hol
"my fault, for I'm as paiticular as
anybody."
"louvfi got ji new saddle for
your hobby, and there'll be no end
lo your riding.it, .just because! that
old fellow wauled to make a fool of
you, andrget the jobolshakingfyotir
carpets twife'Ti year." A
"lJut, WillianiV'sayl Jane, putting
down the handkerchief faun her
eyes, "why don't y9t1.be moracirc
lul? TVhen I fr' so hard lo jiet
alonjr and keep things nice you
needn't make so much work. lienr
me. lo havo to live with uch a per
son I It would hnvc been better tor
us both it we never hnd met."
Hereupon the husband. William,
departed, leavinir Jane to cry it out
alone., She. sobbed awhile quite
heartily, and mnde herselt believe
-he w-is the most unappreciated, tin
foi lunate anil miserable of beings;
then," like a good 'liousc.wnfe .she
began to think.
"What good does all this do? I
am making myself sick for nothing
my eVes will 'feel so badly that I
can't sew. So she wisely rose and
bathed them, brushed up her carpel
and sat down- tp her needlework.
But she was not in a good'mood, not
repentant, nor forgiving, nor cheer
ful, not even pacific.
She was in little better feeling
when she met her husband at din
ner, but was quite in the humor to
make demands and let her grievan
ces be manifest. The carving was
hardly over when she began : I
'William, did you see about hav
ing the stove cleaned and lined this
morning? Bridget says she cannot
cook with it any longer as it is, and
it makes her so cross I cau hardly
manage her." t . ,
"Hadn't time! I guess you could
have found time if yoti'd tried I've
no idea yon ever thought of it. If
you cared anything for oilier peo
ple, you'd think of them and find
time to sec to things. You find
time for your 6wn matters."
"You seem to know so much, why
do you ask me,? Perhaps you'd bet
ter see to your affairs yourself."
"What hadn't I better do? I do
almost everything now, yet you
never seem satisfied. I suppose I
can go to the stove store, since you
don't seem to be able to do anything
1 i.on't know but I shall have to
go to the tailor's yet to order your
clothes for you. " Well, I waiit to
know if you saw Walker about tho'e
draw.era, as I have so often asked
you to? I am In such need oi'them
I don't know hat to do, Every
thing ife'fn contusion in the closets."
"No; 1 didn't see Walker.".
"Well, when, will von ?"
"I don't knowf"'

further?"
"Yes. Did vou get a latch tor
Bridget's1 door ?" - J" Vt
-No." i
a"I asked you to be snreTaiuWe
member it when you went out from
breakfast. Tb,e door is slam, slam
the whole time. I never saw: -anybody
like you. I cannot get any
thing done, aud it's just so always-"
Mr. Lovett ate away unmoved,
and his .wife, not thinking of any
other subject at that moment, fiu-
islicd her dinner in silence.
Just as Air. Lovett was Icnving
tlie dining-room, she called out,
"William, Alboni sinjjs to-night;
can't you take me io hear her?''
"I have an engagement this even
ing," he answered, with his hand
upon the door.
"It's the last night she sings, and
I haven't heard her," paid Jane.
"I can't help it," said William.
"You don't try to help it. Mr.
Linton took his wife twice to hear
her, and they're goingngain to-night.
Airs. Linton thinks she slugs as well
as Jenny Lind.''
"I suppose she has a right to her
opinion."
"Well, why can't you take me?"
persisted Jane.
'Take you to a concert, aflcr all
you've said.!"
"Anything for an
excuso
! You
know I've said nothing but the truth,
and j'on never take me anywhere,
and never did ?"
"No, never!" 6aid Lovett, in a
tone of irony, as he closed the door.
Jane was not disappointed, for she
had no expectation of going to the
concert. She only asked her hus
band to take her in order to try him,
and to show It id what other hus
bands did, and what he didn't do.
She had now so far relieved her
self that she was in a mood for
wholesome thought and reflection.
and she oon began to have some
misgivings as to the light of Ihc
course she had been pursuing, and
also as to its wisdom. liight and
wisdom are, in fact, the same thing.
Jane Lovett was at heart a woman
of good motives and kind feelings,
though, as we have seen, she had an
irritable, uncomfortable temper.
Her temperament was nervous as
that of too many women in these
days our grandmothers would have
called fhem cross, uirly, or, most
likely, scolds and vixens ; but, in
the light of our philanthropy, we
know better dear heaits! they aie
nervous!
Jane Lovett was nervous she
had too nuidh regard for trifles, a
too-lively conception of evils, ami
little facility in adapting herserf to
circumstances. She was also affec
tionate and imaginative, and in hot
girlhood had formed u high ideal
for her lover.
Her opportunities of acquaintance
Willi her nusoauu uelore marriage
were limited, and so she loved, and
hoped, and trusted he was all she
would desire in a life-long compan
ion aud lord. Yes, lord, for she had
an idea that she would like to look
up lo somebody, lean upon him,
cling to him, reverence him, and all
1 inn son 01 iniiig.
How was she disappointed ! What
a change a few weeks of married
life docs sometimes make of a wom
an's future.
William Lovclt was a man of very
ood natural feelings and endow
ments, and could make himself very
agrecahlo wheu he tried, else he
never would have won his wife
but he had few of the qualifications
that make domestic life a paradise
for women. Ho had been reared
alone, without any home discipline
and education, and was often
thoughtless and inconsiderate of
others, and sometimes selfish. He
lacked all the useful and convenient,
though unappreciated habits of
order, tidiness nn:l promptness;
and, what was worse for a man. he
even lacked industry and encrgv.
He could rouse himself for an emer

Such i character was t-ast of all
in accordance w itli that of Jane, who
was piw-i.ed of . gicat energy, aud
had been J rained to careful ne".s and
industry. ?v. . '.

she was not happy, i.nd was very
otten annoyed by the delinquencies
and deficiencies ot her husband.
They irritated her lumper, and she
would complain and fret. This
course had no effect to improve
things. It seldom has.
Ma tiers grew worse year by year.
The husband's affection waned by
degrees, and he became more and
more inattentive and selfish, while
the cares and anxieties of the wife
kept increasing, and with them in
creased bej complaining, and fret
ting. Anunenviablc state of things
most surely. I wonder if it's rare?
After the dinner colloquy we have
given, Jane returned to lior room,
thoughtful and repentant. She dis
coursed with herself somewhat in
this wise :
llT T .
1 urn sorry 1 was so gross at din
ner. William might have been
pleasant if 1 had given him a chance.
What a miserable life we are lead
ing ! I am so unhappy, and things
are growing worse and worse
what may they come to? To be
sure, William is not what I once
thought he was, but that cannot be
helped now he is my husband ; wc
are vowed unto each other till death,
and why not make the best, instead
of the worst, of my lot? And it is
not so bad as it might be, after all.
William might be dissipated or dis
honest, which he is not now. But
who knows what he may become, if
I any longer render his home un
happy. Oh, I am wrong! I know
I ami Let me try to do better!
God help me! Finding fault with
William does not improve him : I
have tried if long enough ; I will try '
what genflene.-s, meekness an en
durance may do. I -hall make him (
tiappicr 111 mat way, ami it is easier
to be virtuous when we are happy
than when we are wretched. It
will require a strong effort and un
remitting watchfulness to overcome
my faults of temper, but is it not
the happiness aud well-being of life
a. sufficient motive? I will make
the effort. I cannot change charac
ter and circumstances, but I will
6uit myself to them."
Jane thus camd'to a wise resolu
tion, which she ought to have made
early in her married life; but it was
in this case, according to jhc old
maxim, "better late than never.''
And, what was wiser than Ihc reso
lution, she began to aot upon it.
Plenty of good resolutions are made
a (aw remembered fewer kepi.
When her husband came home to
tea, Jane was dressed neatly, and,
though there was a clond on his
brow, sho looked and spoke pleas
antly. It was an effort for her to
appear in the same way in the morn
ing, for he was slill moody and
silent, and disobliging, but she re
membered her resolution, and did
not break it.
In the middle of the forenoon he
entered herroom our some errand,
as on the day previous, with boots
unscraped ; she seemed lo take no
notice of them.
"I think I must have made a light
breakfast," he said, carelessly.
Jane soon disappeared, and return
ing, offered him a plate of templing
sandwiches.
He looked up at her in surprise.
"Wbat does this mean, Jane?"
"I thought you were hungry, and
I wanted to please you,"' was her
ingenuous reply.
Htf took the sandwiches with one
hand, and, drawing her toward him
with the other, kissed her tenderly.
" hy Jane, we re growing young
again."
"I wish we might grow good and
loving," was her answer, as she re
turned the kiss.
When he was gone, Jane brushed
up her carpet quickly and cheerfully
and it did not seem half so dirty a
ihc day before, though the mud was
much deeper in the streets:. The
boot-scraper was not forgotten again
that day, and, bclore night a man
appeared to put the stove in order,
and Walker called to -ay he was
lorry he had disappointed Mrs. L.
about the drawers; he would have
them done very soon.
Jane kept herself good-natured
and cheerful the next day, and sev
eral other days, although William
often forgot that his boots were
muddy when he came home, and
several limes turned all the drawers
inside out to find what he had loft
at his oflice; woke up the baby with
his loud sneezes; forgot half her
commissions, important as thoy were
to her, and even delayed to order
coal till one dny there was none
with which to cook the dinner.
She schooled herself to patience.
Sometimes, when a murmuring
word was coming, she bit her lips
and kept jt back. Sometimes she
left the room to gather strength and
self-control, but oftenest spoke of
something beside the subject of vex
ation as quickly as possible.
At the end of a week, Alboni's
"last concert" was again, announced.
"Now, Jane, we'll" hear Alboni to
night," said William at breakfast.
"She's going to sing again perhaps
on your account. You'll go, I sup
pose?" "Yes, thank you, but I don't caro
much about hearing her. I'd almost
as lief slay at home with you."
"Why, don't you think she sings
as well as Jenny Lind ?
"No, I don't do you ?"
"Hardly ; but you say Mrs. Linton
docs. We'll hear'her, though, and
see."
When they were leturiiiug from
the concert that night, Air. Lovett
said to his wife:
'Well, Jane, what did vou think
wl Alboni?"'
"O, I was charmed."
"Well, did you think she sang as
well as the nightingale?"
"Indeed, I ei.joycd her singing
mon she somehow made me feel
so happy so lull of delight.
Weren't vou delighted?"
'Ytis, I must own
I was; but I
cannot give Alboni credit tor all.
You've been such a dear good girl
lately, Jane" and he bent his lace
v.ery near to hers, I know,t hough one
couldn't see distinctly for the dark
ness. "I really think we're growing
young again."
A Cjiootl Daughter.
There are other ministers or love
more conspicuous than a good
daughter, but none in which a gent
ler, lovelier spirit dwells, and none
to which tho heart's warm acquitals
more joyfully respond. S'e is the
steady light of her father's house.
Her idea is indissolubly connected
with that of his happy fireside. She
is his morning sun and evening star.
The grace, vivacity and tenderness
of her sex have their place in the
mighty sway which she holds over
his spirit. The lessons of recorded
wisdom which he reads' with her
eyes come to his mind with a new
charm, as blended with the beloved
melody of her voice. lie scarcely
Knows weariness which her
song-does not make him forget, or
gloom which is proof against the
young brightness of her smile. She
is the pride and ornament of his
hospitality and the gentle nurse of
his sickness, and the constant agent
of those namelcss,numberless acts of
kindness which one chiefly cares to
have rendered, because they are un
pretending but expressive proofs
of love.
A poor son of the Emerald Isle
applied for employment to an avari
cious hunk, who told him he em
ployed no Irishmen: "For the last
one died on my bauds, and I was
forced to bury him at my own
charge" "Ah, your honor," said
Pat, brightening up, "and is that all ?
Then ou'll give ine the place, for
sure I can get a certificate that I
never died in the employ of any
master I iver served."
A little boy, carrying home some
eggs from the grocery, dropped
them. "Did you break any ?" asked
his mother when he told ber of it.
"No!" said the little fellow; "but
the shells come off of some of 'em !"

What "Thou Shalt .ot Steal'
33 can.
The thing that is needed is that
the command, "Thou shall not
.steal," should be translated into the
modern commercial life. It ought
to be shown lo begin with that
cheating is stealing; that in every
transaction in which by deceit or
concealment or misrepresentation
a man obtains money 01 oilier val
ues that lie could not have obtained
if he had told the truth, is a di
rect infrccMon of tlie eighth com
mandment; that who gains an ad
vantage by hiding the truth in a
commercial transaction,-- "just as
really a thief, in the sight of God'
law, as he who picks his neighbor's
porket.
Then, it ought to be shown with
equal distinctness Unit the command
ment forbids all violations of the
law of trust. He who appropriates
to his own uses properly entrusted
to him for safe keeping is a thief.
He who risks in private speculation
the property which has beeu'lilaced
in his bauds for specific, purposes is
a thief. The boy who spends Ihc
money of his Sunday-school class, or
ot his ball-club, for his own pur
poses, breaks the eighth command
ment. He may intend to replaoe
the money thus taken ; he may
Ihink he knows just where he will
be able to obtain it; but this gives
him no right to lake it. Every pen
ny of it ought to be sacredly kept,
that he may give at any moment an
exact account of his stewardship.

In the Cow (uccn V
Cotton has had tbc name of king
on account of the magnitude of its
value to the country; the crop being
woilh more than that of any other
of our agricultural productions, but
our dairy interest now rivals, if it
does not surpass in money value,
the time-honored monarch of the
South, ilr. Sherman Tracy, in an
address to the Western Kedcrvc
Dairyman's Association, at Garret
tesville, Ohio, said that in 1S75 there
in wore this country about 10,000,000
milch cows, which, at $15 per head,
represented a capital of $450,000,000.
In the same year there were manu
factured 203,GG9,381 pounds of
cheese, 825,191,219 pounds of butter,
and 420,500,509 gallons of milk were
sold. Besides this, an enormous
quantity of milk was consumed in
families of which no account can be
taken, but evidently four timc3 the
quantity noted as sold, which would
make the total quantity con

SAVE AND HAVt.
Lesson that is Taught by the Times
- Pleasure of Economy.
Every American workingman, ev
ery American business man, every
Auicricnu capitalist in fact, every
American man aud woman needs
to understand and appreciate the
admitted fact that it is not so much
what a.mau earns as what lie saves
that secures his prosperity. TliU is,
of course, a truism; but it Is not
sufficient to be convinced of "a fart
or a principle it is also necessary
3
to act upon it in our daily lito.
Micawber perceived tho import
ance of his celebrated formula
which warned him against spending
more than he had, but he failed to
live up to It. It is not the amount
ot a man's income that leads to
riches, but his way of managing it.
There arc a few who are ablu to
earn, but lind no chance; these al
though magnified to an immense
army, aro really a small fraction of
our population. There are muny,
particularly women, who arc com
pelled to live upou what m this
country may be styled starvation
wages; for these there is tnuh to
be said aud done by the wise and
benevolent.
Thcro arc many more who com
plain that the incomes they now
earn are insufficient to support their
families. The majority of thcau
people lose sight of two evident
and important truths first, that the
cost of living has been greallj re
duced of late; second, that "they
might live both cheaper aud better
than they do if they would set their
wits to work in the line of manag
ing and saving.
Let us ask them one question :
Did they save money wheu they
were receiving high wages In flush
times? If not, how were they bet
ter olf than now? Did thev not
rather
ganco
develop habits of extrava
aud debt? Are they not
alllicled ndw by the expensive ways
of the rag money era more than by
the narrowness of their iucomes"?
Should a man who used to bo paid
four dollars a dav complain that ho
can now earn but two, when he cau
get, if he will, more foe his two
dollars than he could get for his
four dollars? The general public
of this city, for instance, including
the poorer classes, are in mauy re
spects belter oil" than then.
In matters of health, of cheap and
comfortable living, of transit anil
recreation, there have been many
iniprovements. We will be moru
truly prosperous than we were then
when wc shall have taught our
selves lo use to the bet advantage
what wc have. Up to 1873 wc wcro
as a people living beyond our in
come ; now we must learn the salu
tary lesson of living within it.
The truth is that we are a natiou
or wasters. There are countries, as
has been often said, which would
be well fed on what we throw
away. What an example France
sets to the world! Although so
often desolated and decimated, she
is in a sounder condition now than
lite nation which extorted from her
the five milliards. A knock-down
blow from which France rises with
greater energy than ever, would de
stroy Kngland. Impoverishment
for France results in developing her
productive capacity. In France, as
a rule, everybody works. Everj
body also saves, and that is a fart of
yet greater importance. The French
workinginaii lives within his in
come, and his wife aud children
help him to do so. He also lives
well aud enjop htm-elf.
The great dilliculty with our peo
ple is that an increase of income
only furnishes an excuse for in
creased expense, and that the in
crease of expense is apt to surpj-
the increase of inrrnw. An emi
nent clergyman once aid that he
had found it easier to live upon i
hinall salary than a large one,
because his enlarged expenses hail
thrown him off hia balance. The
clerk who accommodates himself to
ouc thousuud dollars a year, ami
makes it supply all his needs, is
likely to overlivo his income win it
he is promoted to one thousand two
hundred dollars.
Our resources as a nation are
seemingly incalculable, but wc
should rely more upon our men
thau upon our material. Personal
thrift is necessary to national pros
perity and there is no abiding thritt
which is not based upon frugality.
A man may work and Work but
have nothing. Such a man may bo

worthy of his hire, and that he docs
not get enough for his work, when
the real trouble is that he does not
know how to use what he gels. It
