A Wife Frugality.
The wife of the man next door has
a fertile brain which is kept actively
employed in a variety of directions.
Among her household goods are
dozen platei in pots and a variety of
these nru in n box mounted on a
pedestal. The box she got at the
store; the pedestal she and the boy
together made. After it was done
she wanted it painted.
She might have sent it to the
painter for that purpose, but he
would charge more than it was
worth. To Bavo the extra cost she
determined to do the work herself.
She could get a pound of paint all
mixed in a pot, with a brush for
twenty cents the pot and brush to
be returned after the work was
done. It was a simple thing to
paint and she could put it ou as
easily and nicely as a trained hand
could do it. The man next door
didn't think much about it. It was
not in his line, but he got the paint
It was a great surprise to the wifo
of the man next door to sec how
little of the paint was required to
color the box aud pedestal, and how
much was left after the work was
done. What should she do with it ?
Not return it, of course, for she
would not be allowed anything for
it. Now that she had it she might
as well use it. There was undoubt
edly something it could be used on.
She looked around forjlic object
in question, aud was not long in
liuding it. There are more or less
dingy batlcred articles about a house
which a coat of paint will improve.
Her house was no exception. Iler
eyes lighted on a box holding her
scouring sand. In a few luoincuts
it was a delightful green.
Then she looked around for other
fields to conquer, and presently she
found them and coutiuued to find
them as long as the presence of paint
made it necessary to search for
them. She was nearly the whole
afternoon using up that pot of paint,
but it was timo well employed.
And it was amazing, as she ad
mitted to herself, how far twenty
cents worth of paint would go ju
diciously applied. She knew her
husband would be surprised wheu
ho came home at night at all she
had done.
And he was.
"When he observed the green
clock-case, aud looked at the green
paper-rack, and found that he hotl a
green writing desk, and contem
plated the green foot-stool, and saw
the green coal scuttle, aud got
against the green clothes-horse, he
was too full to say a word.
Then he picked up his green boot
jack, aud when he did that he gave
a wild scared look about the room,
eauk down in a chair aud found his
voice.

How Wirt found u Wife.
A recent sketch of the loves of the
great lawyers contains this touchiug
incident in the lifeof "William Wirt :
In his younger days lie was a vic
tim to the passiou of intoxicating
drinks, which has been the bane of
so many distinguished men in the
legal profession. Aflianced to a
beautiful and accomplished young
lad', he had made and broken re
pealed pledges of amendment, and
she, after patiently aud kindly en
during his disgraceful habit, had at
length dismissed him, deeming him
incorrigible. Their next meeting
after his dismissal was in a public
street in the cityofllichmond. Wil
liam Wirth lay drunk and asleep on
the sidewalk, on a hot summer day,
the rays of the cun pouring down on
his uncovered head, and flies crawl
ing over his swollen features. As
tho young lady approached in her
walk her attention was attracted by
spectacle, strange to her eyes, but,
alas I so common to others who knew
the victim so well as to excite little
remark. She did not at first recog
nize the sleeper, and was about to
hasteu on, when she was led on by
one of those impulses which form
the turning point in life, to scrutin
ize his features. What was her emo
tion when sho recognized in him
her discarded lover! Sho drew
forth her handkerchief and spread
it over his faco and hurried away.
When Wirt came to himself he fouud
the handkerchief, and in one corner
the beloved name. AVilh a heart al
most breaking with grief aud re
morse he made a vow, aud eventual
ly married the owner of the hand
kerchief, and becamo one of the
most eminent jurists in the United
States.
PkcHoiMCBa of Earthquake.
The Xalure reports that the re
cent Hungarian earthquakes were
attended with phenomena of a most
remarkable character. One of the
shocks divided the large Danubian
island near old Moldavia in two, aud
from the chasm thus formed a huge
column of water was ejected suffi
cient to partly flood the island.
Suddenly, on Oct. IS, there was a
cessation of this flow, but black sand
and clay were thrown up from ma
ny fuunel-shaped craters iu the fis
Bure. Mouths of caves near Wciss
kircheu had fallen in, aud the ruins
of the Castle of Golubacz were de
molished. Bat as the caves were
the breeding places of the Kolura
bacs mosquitoes, the visitation will
not be considered an unmixed ca
lamity if it has also caused the utter
destruction of these insect pests.
WIiv Lre Iid Xat Keep a Hir
ed Girl.
A lady writer in one of our ex
changes furnishes some ef the rea
sons why Eve did not keep a hired
girl. She says:
There has been a great deal said
about the faults of women and why
they need so much waiting on. Some
one (a man of course) has the pre
sumption to ask "Why, when Eve
was manufactured of a spare rib, a
servant was not made at the same
time, to wait upon her?" She didn't
need anj'. A bright writer has said
Adam never came whining to Eve
with a ragged stocking to be darn
ed, buttons to be sewed ou, gloves
to be mended, "right away quick
now !" because he never read the
newspapers until the sun went
down behind the palm trees, and he
stretching himself, yawned out:
"Isn't supper ready, my dear?''
Not he. He made the fire and hung
the kettle over it himself, we'll ven
ture, and pulled tho radishes, peeled
the potatoes, aud did everything else
he ought to do. He milked the
cows, fed the chickens, and looked
aftor the pigs himself, and never
brought half a dozen friends to dine
when Eve hadn't any pomegranites.
He never stayed out till 11 o'clock
at night, and then scolded because
poor Eve was sitting up and crying
inside tho irarden gates. He never
loafed around comer groceries while
Eve was rockiug little Cain's cradle
at home. He did not call Evo up
from the cellar to get his slippers
and put them in the corner where he
left them. Not he. When he took
them off he put them under the fig
tree beside his Sunday boots. In
short, he did not think she was espe
cially created for the purpose of
waiting on him, and he was not
under the impression that it dis
graced a man to lighten a wife's
cares a little. That's the reason Evo
did not need a hired girl, and with
it was the reason her fair descend
ants did.
Wiu.te.
There must be, of necessity, a per
centage ot loss iu all the material
trausactious of every-day life,wheth
er these bo carried on in the work
shop, the counting-room, the kitch
en, or the laboratory; but this
inevitable waste cau be so far re
duced by good management that it
amounts to but little in the course
of a year. Observation has con
viuced us that the. loss in large
workshops must be considerable, for
iu a great majority of cases we have
seen materials lying about under
foot bolts, nuts, washers, kicking
around in the mud out in the yard,
new work exposed to injury from
the elements, tools misplaced, essen
tial articles, or tools necessary to the
perfection of ccrtniu parte f tho
work, at great distances from each
other, and an infinite number of
abuses which, although small of
themselves, when summed up make
a grand total loss at tho end of the
year. As the thirty-second part of
an inch too little on one piece of a
steam engine, a sixty-fourth on an
other, and as much on still auother
will result in great derangement of
the fuuetious of the machine, so
infinitesimal waste, continually oc
curring, is the representative of
hundreds of dollars for which there
has been no return. No matter
what the nature of tho trade or
manufacture, it is very certain that
a material reduction of the expenses
of every department can be made
by careful attention to the minor
matters, and these remarks are made
with the hope that all interested
will give them attention.
Iaringr Bobbers.
Ccin.vati, Jan. 19. A daring
attempt was made this morning to
rob the safe of the county treasurer's
office, in which $500,000 was lying.
The pay cashier iu the treasury had
just put several hundred dollars in
his drawer, and had re-locked the
safe. Hardly had this beeu done
when two men one a burly, heavy
set fellow and the olher of lighter
built entered the room. The form
er engaged Mr. Thorns in conversa
tion, while the other, after a little
mancuveriug, slipped to the door
back of the money-drawer, and got
inside without making any noise.
Luckily, however, Mr. Thorns" saw
his man, aud said: "Get out of
here! What arc you doing?" and
made a leap for him. Tho man got
out of the gate, and he and his ac
complice were out of reach before
they could be caught.
A church member was once ex
horted by his pastor to work for the
Lord. The seed fell into good
ground. At the ucxt prayer meet
ing he was ready with his report,
which ran this wise: "Brethren,
when our pastor exhorted ua to do
something, I resolved that I would
talk with some unconverted person
about religion. I began by inviting
a man to come and attend our meet
ings. 'Why should I go to meeting?'
said he; and I told him he might
learn something worth knowing.
'What should I learn ?' he asked ;
and I told him ho would learn that
he was a sinner. 'But how do you
know that I am a sinners" said he;
apd I told him that the Bible said so.
'But I dorrt believe the Bible was
his answer. Then we disputed about
it; and, brethren, I got so mad I
could have kicked him!"
Dan Bice having left the cirens
for the church, Talmage should pre
serve the equilibrium of things by
leaving the church for the circas.
ITIeii Who Require Presence of
Jfliud.
Many railroad accidents arc pre
vented br a presence of mind on the
part of engineers. A passenger
train on the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road was rounding a sharp
curve, just under a piece of (all tim
ber. The watchful engineer saw a
tree lying across the track sixty feet
ahead of the locomotive. The train
waB running at the rato of thirty
five miles an hour, and to check its
momentum before reaching tho ob
struction was out of the question.
The engineer took in the situation
at a glance, ne threw tho throttle
wide open, and tho engino shot
ahead with tho velocity of an arrow,
and with such tremendous fore, that
the tree was picked by the cow
catcher and flung from the track as
if it had been only a willow withe.
A man with not so cool a head
would have made the be3t possible
use of those sixty feet in tho way of
checking the speed of the train. That
would have caused a disaster. Brad
ford, au engineer, was bringing an
express train over the Kankakee line
from Indianapolis. As the engine
shot out from the deep cut and
struck a short piece of straight track
leading to a bridge, a herd of colls
were discovered running down the
road. Tho distance to the river was
only 100 feet. Bradford knew he
could not stop tho train, and also
knew that if the colts beat the loco
motive to the bridge, they would fall
between the timbers, and the ob
struction would throw the train off,
and probably result in a frightful
loss of life. It took him only half
a second to think of all this. The
other half of the second was utilized
in giving his engino such a quantity
of steam, that it covered that 100 feet
of track in about the same time that
a bolt of lightning would travel
from the top of a lightning-rod to
the ground. The colts were struck
and hurled down tho embankment
just as they were entering the
bridge.
The Sorrows of Genius.
Homer was a begger.
Spencer died in- want.
Cervantes died of hunger.
Terrcnce, the dramatist, was a
slave.
Dryden lived in poverty and dis
tress. Sir Walter Raleigh died on tho
scaffold.
Butler lived a life of penury aud
died poor.
Bacon lived a life of meanness aud
distress.
Plaulus, the .Roman comic poet,
turned a mill.
Paul Borghese had fourlceu trades,
and yet starved with all.
Tasso. the Italian prwi, was oiicn
distressed for five shillings.
Steele, the humorist, lived a life
of perfect warfare with bailiffs.
Otway, tho English dramatist,
died prematurely, aud through hun
ger. Chaltertou, the child of genius and
misfortune, destroyed himself at 18.
Bentiyoglio was refused admit
tance into a hospital he had himself
erected.
The death of Collins was through
neglect, first causing mental de
rangement. Savage died in prison at Bristol,
wbero-ho was confined for the debt
of forty dollars.
Goldsmith's "Vicar of Wakefield"
was sold for a trifle to save him from
the grip of the law.
Fielding lies in tho burying
ground of the English factory at
Lisbon without a stone to mark the
spot.
Milton sold his copyright of "Par
adise Lost" for seventy-five dollars,
at three payments, and finished his
life in obscurity.
A Scriptural Courtship.
A young gentleman happening (o
sit at church in a pew adjoining one
which a young lady occupied for
whom ho conceived a passion was
desirous of entering into a courtship
on the spot. The emergency of the
case suggested the following plan :
He politely handed his fair neighbor
a Bible open with a pin stuck in the
following exl second episllo of
John, verse fifth "And now I be
seech thee, lady, not as though I
wrote a uew commandment unto
thee, but that which we had in the
beginning that we love one another."
Sho returned it pointing to the sec
ond chapter of lluth, verse tenth
"Then she fell on her face and bowed
herself to tho ground and said unto
him, why have I found grace in thine
eyes, seeing that I am a stranger?"
He returned the book, pointing to
the thirteenth verse of the third
epistle of John "Having many
things to write unto you, I would
uot write with paper aud ink, but I
trust to come uuto you and speak
faee to face." From this interview
a marriage took place.
It waB not loose society, or the
wine cup, or gambling, or stock
speculation on the sly, that ruined a
bank officer iu Honesdale, Pennsyl
vania, if we may accept the version
of the affair put out by his friends.
He went to the bad by an original
route to wit, via the pig-sty. In
an evil hour be became fired by an
ambition not culpable in itself to
improve the breed of hogs in his be
loved Pennsylvania. For that pur
pose he invested in a $2,500 grunter ;
aud this unlucky purchase proved
his finaucial and moral destruction.
' JLining- the Slyiuns.
When JohuPiaudolph of Roanoke
died ho freed all his slaves, but
sought while living to prepare them
for the change. He fixed up a house
of worship and employed a minister
to preach for them. He often at
tended, and sometimes, it, is said,
took part in the services by correct
ing any inappropriate illustrations
made or erroneous views advanced
by his preacher. It was customary
in these old-fashioned times for the
country pastors to give out two lines
of a hymn at a time, which were
taken up by the negroes and sung
with loud aud joyous voices. On
one occasiou while the singing was
going on, it is 6aid, the houest old
preacher observed an old man with
his foot upon the heated stove, and
before reading tho next two lines he
pointed his finger at the mau and
said :
"Beware, old sinner, vou
Will burn your cowhide shoe."
This was promptly taken up by
the vast throng, presuming it was a
part of the hymn, and sung. The
old pastor then said :
"My friends, you are nil wrong,
That was not iu the &ong."
This was readily caught up -and
sung with great power. Tho pastor
then with much gesticulation said:
"Please do not sing again;
I want time' to explain."
This was also sung, and the old
pastor, completely disgusted, retired
from tho pulpit and did not know
that he had been making poetry
himself until informed by sonic one
of his hearers.
ltenelit of l'ovcrty.
Northcoto, the painter, was once
asked if a certain gentleman, who
shown skill in drawing, would nol
make a great artist. '-No, never,"
he replied: "for he has JCC,000 u
year."
The man had no motive to under
go tho drudirerv and nmifinnniiQ
study necessary to the making of a
great artist. He needed that which
has spurred many men into great
nessthe stimulus of poverty.
Lord Eli'lon was poor when he
began tho practice of law. He ap
plied to Lord Chancellor Thurlow,
who was his friend, to appoint hhH
a Commissioner of IJankruptcy.
Thurlow refused, saying he did him
a favor by appointing another per
son. ,
Years after, Eldon saw that the
refusal was a favor and wrote,
"What he meant was, that he had
learned that I was by nature indo
lent, aud it was only want that could
make me industrious."
Many men have hidden by their
wealth, who, if they had been poor,
would have become illustrious.
In a lecture before a learned so
ocioty recently, an American pnysi-
cian, who has given much time to
the study of alcoholism, said :
"There are constantly crowding into
our insane asylums persons 50 to SO
years of age, who in early life were
addicted to the use of alcoholic li
quors, but who had reformed, and
for ten, twenty or thirty years, have
never touched a drop. The injury
which the liquor did to their bodies
seemed to haye all disappeared, be
ing triumphed over by the full vigor
of their manhood, but when their
natural forco began to decrease,
then the concealed mischief showed
itself in insanity, clearly demonstrat
ing (hat the injury to thoir bodies
was Of a permanent character."
Friends aro n man's self in trac
tions; he that admits every one into
the number of them prostitutes his
soul to all comers ; he who none, de
nies her oue of tho best comforts
she can here enjoy. Bishop Hall.
Affectation in any part of our car
riage is lightning up a candle to our
defects, and never fails to make us
to be taken notice of, either as want
ing sense or wanting sincerity.
