How He Saved His Money.

The story is told of father, "well-
 to-do, but rather impecunious. A few
 weeks ago he had Q marriageable daugh-
 ter. She had been courted by the son
 of neighboring farmer for a number
 of years, and had grown so tired of it
 that she expressed a desire to have the
 dream of her life realized before the
 end of the present year. The lover, it IS but just to say, was also anxious,
 He wished to avoid the necessity of
 having to journey night after night over lonely road during yet another winter.
 The father of the young girl, thus pressed from within and without, was almost on the brink of despair. He could not afford to disburse the neces. sary funds for such wedding feast as he would be expected to provide. The crops had all been gathered and sold, and the butter for two or three months pledged in pawn ent of debts. To in-' cur any further obligaJ ions was not to be thought of. For nights he lay awake, turning the m alter over in his mind, until he finally discovered way out of the dilemma. The next morn ing he thrilled his daughter with pleas ure by announcing at the breakfast ble that he had decided to consent to her marriage, and was willing that the ceremony might take place as soon as the arrangements could be perfected. . Then there was Q meeting of the re- spective parents, the day was fixed. and list of the friends and kinsmen of the intended son-in-law carefully made out. To this was added the names of nearly every farmer residing in the county. The day of days came round at last; the roads were hard with frost. the sky was clear, and the guests be, gan to arrive at an early hour. The house was soon crowded until barely standing room remained. The barn was used to increase the accommodaI tion. The marriage ceremony over, and the young couple started on their way to the nearest railroad station. nothing. remained to be done but to | discuss the viands and wines, At length the time arrived for breaking up the company. The farmer, after hay ing good-humoredly appropriated all the compliments he could get, walked lelsurely to the front gate, and there took q position from which he was en- abled to demand payment for dinner and horse-feed from each of the guests. The proposition was received as a capi. tai joke, and it is said that every per son present, not even excepting the clergyman, willingly paid the "tax,

Premiums for Church Pews.

The auction in Henry Ward Beecher's church Snue twas was for choices. The 'pews all nioo n@Te nxed @ prices, the highest being $l2O. The sum bid must be added to the fixed price of the particular pew selected in order to find the cost. The bidding was very spirited, $325 being the first bid for first choice. It was speedily increased to $4O0, and the choice was bid by MT. s. A. Ovington. He will have to pay $52O this year for the privilege of sitting in pew No. 87. Henry 0. Bowen secured the next choice, No. 89. for $S85. A. M. Shep- pard paid $390; Mcdonald and Hatch, $395 i; H. B. .Clafin, $390; and so on till about twenty-five pews were se- lected: MT. Denis was the highest bid der. The premiums at last, about nine o'clock, dropped to about $2O, and at half-past nine o'clock all the pews were sold.

A Tenants Obligation to Repair.

Leases not seldom contain covenant
 that the tenant shall keep the premises
 in good order and repair. As to just
 what this covenant may mean, however.
 there is considerable difference of opin.
 ion, and sometimes the intervention of a judge and jury are necessary to settle
 the question. A case of this kind has
 been on trial in the Superior Court of
 Baltimore, in which the iudge. in
 charging the jury, described the legal
 aspect of the matter. The work "keep. i"
 he said, implied an obligation to put the premises in repair if they were out
 of repair when received, and to keep
 them so, for 1t would be Idle to stipu-
 late to keep in repair what is not in re. pair and the covenant was, therefore. equivalent to 'put and keep and de- liver up," in good order and repair.
 The real difficulty, however, was in the words "good order and repair" These words, he said, meant such reason. able condition of fitness as belongs to houses of the age, class and condition. as good repair for one might not be for another. 1t was not necessary that m tenant should repaint and re- paper, but only to keep the paint and paper in such condition as is consistent with use not allow the house to be de. faced; use it with proper and reasonable care and deliver it up as it may be left after such care. The judge remarked that there was no custom or rule of law by which an outgoing tenant was com pelled to repaint and repaper, unless under distinct and we'll defined agree ment to that effect. On the other hand there is no implication that the tenant shall keep the promises as received, The obligation to keep in good order md repair does not mean to keep the house in the condition in which it is 'eceived, but in a condition that is .lE v

Terrible Death.

A young married man, named Thomas Sage, has met with his death in a trlghtful manner at the Old Mills Colliery, Paulton, Somerset, England, where he was employed as chief en- gineer. It appears that it is custom every Christmas to clean out the boiler. Sage entered a small arch under the boiler for the purpose of tapping it. He turned the tap, not noticing that culvert through which the water should have run was stopped up. The water, in consequences, flooded the tunnel. The deceased, finding no other means Of exit. attempted to escape by rushing through the boiling water but that he was unable to do, as the way was stop ped by grating through which he had crawled on entering the tunnel.
