She simply got up and went TO her cabi-
net, and when she came back she brought

Albert" said she, let's you and me
buy the cottage.
Albert looked at her in amazement
aud directly it flashed upon him that there
was too much socmnity in her look and
tone for badinagc. Something that be
had noticed durag the past months, came
back to him. and he trcmblcd with the
weight Of suspense that fell upon him.
Alice saw and understood At first
the great food almost overcame her, and
she was forced to rest and wipe her eyes.
before she could proceed. And then she
showed her book-that she had more than
eight hundred dollars in bank The ice
was broken. she told how she had saved
up little by little, and how she had At
length found herself able to purchase
City dollar bond. And then she told how
her uncle. in the banking house, had ta-
ken charge Of her investment, and how
under his management, the interest had
accrued in amazing volume.
But the grand result was not the chief
thing. The chief thing was tho begin
ming the first linle which had been
religiously saved until the second little

And now, as q result Of the wife's
careful aud tircless working, Albert found
something upon which his ambition could
take fair start. lie never could him :
self. from SO small n commencement, have
reared the pile but with the structure

could not see how it was done--and not

surrendered to the work are not missed

American Railroad Progress.

During the year 1871, the total length
Of railroads in the United States was 60, :
49, miles, n DISTANCE equal to two aud a
half times around the entire globe. The
increase last year was ! .453 miles This
is larger gain than ever before occurred
in single year The increase was larg-
cr in Illinois than any other State. but
Massachusetts, still remains the banner
railroad State, having mile of road to
every 4-s6 square mile Of territory. The
cost of the railroads now in actual opera
ton in the Enitod States is estimated at
5000. 900 900. or one-half more than
the entire funded debt, and nearly three
times tho entire indemnity payable by
France to Germany. The cost averages,
about $50 900 n mile. but it is to bs not.
cd that the expense Of constructing rail-
roads seems to be steadily decreasing, the
cost Of the lines being estimated at only
$40. 900 mile. or $225 ,O0o, 900 for the

indeed, 4 sorry sight yes. save money by

that particular kind Of strength which
young men are most apt to waste. Many
foolish yonng fellow will throw away on

crgy which he will acyer feel the want Of
until he is seventy. and then how much
he will want it It is curious. but true,

1t is fact that ovcrtasking tho eyes At

wise our young readers to be saving Of

Of service TO some Of our readers:
Why is it that co many persons are ou,

the curse Of inactivity-brings certain
misfortune and ruin-instead Of going to
