stories that he goes there. lie must put

Il am in earnest, Lizzie, continued
Bertha, 'and let me advise you to try
some experiments. You, | suppose, will
be married as soon as myself. Now, Mr..
Summer Dean smokes and goes 10 the
club too; and if I'm not mistaken, he will
want TO 90 TO the theatre once in awhile
without you. You'd better put your foot
down before you are married. And
again Berlha's foot came down TO give
strength TO her meaning.
For some moments Lizzie Dale remain
ed silent. She was a loving young girl,
with soft countenance, light brown hair,
and large lusrous blue eyes. She did
not look as though she could have faced a
very heavy difficulty, but gradually there
stole over her sunny countenance sort OF
determined expression, and with mean
ing look she said:
Bertha, l shall try the experiment
Good y exclaimed Bertha, claPPing her
hands, %, how we will teach them.'
But little more was said by the girls.
Bertha Drake ratified away in her usual
happy style; but Lizzie was thoughtful,
and ere long they separated.
1t was but few evenings later, that
Summer Dean called 10 see Lizzie. lie

you not well, Bertha!' The fair wife
returned her husbands look. and placing
her arm around his neck, she imprinted a
trembling kiss upon his lips. Henry
Wilder was puzzled, hut it was the hap.

The evening passed on. and Bertha grew

1t costs no more TO raise a hundred
bushels of cider apples than the same

An axe, costing two dollars with which

month, is a cheaper tool than one costing
but one dollar, with which he can cut on
ly forty cords.
A cheap plough at five dollars, costing
in one season three dollars for repairs,
and three more in lost time to teams and
men, and by putting back crops, is dear

less proftthan one at thirty dollars, giving
twice the quantity Of milk afforded by
the former.
A common dasher churn, at two dollars,

economical a purchase as a Kendall churn
at four dollars, requiring but half the labor

How Mcn mBust Up"

| Men with unassuming wives never bust
| 1t is the husbands of such women as Mrs
Dash and Lady Brilliant, who find them,
selves face TO face with the Sheriff, and
certain mysterious documents adorned
with red tape and waters, big for target
exercise.
The desire Of New York feminine is
20 outshIue her ncighbors-noti in mental
requirements, but in gingerbread orna-
ments and goId,edgod coal scuItles. II
Mrs. Dash gives a game supper-wood-
cocks stuffed with gold dust-LaGy Bril-
liant takes the wind out Of her by getting
up another, in which the prevailing dish
will be birds of paradise, swimming in
gravy made Of melted pearls. 1t is this
rivalry, and not "dabbIing in railroad
stocks" that brings ruination TO the fast
men Of Wall street The "iil fortune"
Of which they complain is no more nor
less than a brainess wife. If they would
come back to happiness, therefore, they
should turn their attention, not to the lluc-
tuatioaS of the stock market, but to the
ruincus absurdties of their own freside.
