Unfurl the Banner.

Spread to the breeze the stripes and stars,
And let each cFiinson ray
Glow as the beacon-light Of truth,
To guide us on eur way.
Meulento of our fathers, deeds,
The flag they bravely won; =
Oh. add such 1uster to its stars
That each shall seem sun.
Type of world by wisdom ruled,
Where honor Teigns supreme.
Each heart . temple Of the right,
And worth no airy dream.
No Pharisee, whose soul exclaims
''Stand back and give me place.
But brothers all by common right,
Whate'er the tint of face.
Then give our banner to the breeze,
And let each fiuteFing fold
Proclaim us men, whose dearest rights
Cannot be bought and sold.
Freedom our blessing and our pride,
The heritage we claim
Columbia's gift to all her SONS,
Her own immortal name.

HOW TO BUY A HOUSE.
BY OLIVER OPTIC.

HAPTER i.
/ tell you, my dear, it is utterly i'm
possible ! Save three hundred dollars
a year out Of my salary; You don't
understand it, said Charles Converse
to his young wife.
Perhaps do not replied Mrs
Converse, but my opinion is very de-
cidcd
Woman don't understand thes,,
things. You think my salary of eight
hundred dollars year, fortune
No such thing Charles
But eight hundred dollars, let me
tell you, won't buy all the world
l had no idea that it wonld; yet, if
you only had the habit of saving wha,
you spend for things that you can get
along without, you would be able to
build house in Il few years.
Build house p
Yes, build house, Charles
Well, that's good one y
The young man laughed heartily ut
the idea-,oo C imeyical, too absurd to
be harbored for moment.
How much do you really suppose it
cost US to live last year =
why, eight hundred dollars, OF
course 1t took all my salary-thele is
none Of it left
The young wife smiled mischievously
as she took from her work table drawer
a small account book.
You did not know that I kept ac-
count OF all these tnlng, 1;1 1 you /"
NC, but how much was it = and
Charles was a little disturbed by the
cool way in which his wife proceeded 10
argue the question.
Four hundred and ninety-two dol

CHI A PIT f r II.

Tho next day, Charles Converse re
ceived a quarters salary, AMI nIs h,''
step after receiving it was to visit tbs
Peoples Savings Bank, where he depoS'
tied fifty dollars. -,
But the hundred and fifty which h.
had left, burned in his pockets 1t wa
all he had to carry him through the en-
suing three months There wereA dIz
en- little things that he want d, aud a
dog big oucs, too, fo' that matte r
Against the latter be- ,esolutely sci h'

ings Bank in which the accumulation
of several small sums, deposited wcrkl,
and quartery were arranged in table
Fifty dollars deposited ev ry quarter
will net in five years ST. Il 30 = con.
tinued she, reading from the circular.
Bah = added Mr. Converse.
That sum would build a very com
Portable house and when your salary
is thousand dollars year, you can
save more than fifty dollars a quarter
A live cent institution, isn't it ? an
swcred the young man.
But he was much impressed by the
reasoning of his wife, and ia the course
Of the evening, he carefully read the
circular of the Savings Bank
Certainly he had every induccm nj
for being saving and economical. He
lived very cheaply in small house be-
longing to his ialher-in law, for which
lie paid merely non'ina r,nt
Hi wifc's father was .althy ilgm
e., or rathcr h. had been flrm"r b..
fore bis dnioain was inval.i bv tuc
march ol inprovcmeot, aud hi pastures
and uowing lots laid out into house cots
As 1t was, he snii, from he TO- ce of
habit, improved II few acres, k pt il
c~ssre' { vs., heunery,' and y half a
doz n pigs.
Charles Converse found this proximi
ty to the old folks at home,' rather
satisfactory in pecuniary AS well a'
social point of view, for his lard,rs wa,
partly stocked from the farm; and, oil
course, no account was ever made OF
half Il pig, a barrel of apples or potatoes,
or pair of chickens Milk and eggs
were so much ireshcr and better from
pas, that of course the young couple
never desired to obtain them from any
other source.
They lived ch"aply, and lived in clio.
Yer besides Charles never liked to
talk about financial matters with pa,
BECAUSE the worthy old gentleman used
to tell him how he lived on Il hundred
and fifty dollars yea, after he was
married though he had fat sal ry,
and supposed, Of course, he saved iour
hund' cd dollars year out OF it--and
always wound up by saying that he
would give him house and lot ot-might
take h,s pick of all he owned -whcnever
he got ready to build.
All these thugs rather worked upon
Charles Converse. He hadn't saw ID IL
dollar, and what was more there was no
present prospect that he ever would do
it The promised advance in his salary
was already appropriated to suudry lux
uries. The idea of taking Mary to th'
opera, or Il pleasant trip to Niagara, and
other amiablities, had taken possession
of him.
But the reasoning of bis wife had
produced a Nt,ong impression upon his
mind. She had been brought up in the
strictcst habits OF economy. Hor father,
though rich, had an army of children ;
but they were all wealthy in their thrift
ty habits.
Charles read over aud over the cir
cular Of the Savings Bank in the course
of tbn evening f; figured up the statistics,
and wondered what had become of that
two hundred aud six;y-eight dollars.
Before he went to bed, he had ma
tured resolution, though he did not
say a word to his wife about it.
