A N isllap.

We have a gravel roof on our house,
and the other day some workmen were
up there fixing it. They had block and
tackle rugged on the edge of the roof,
with rope reaching to the ground, for
the purpose Of hosting inc tar and gravel
Our girl went out washing the yard at the
time, and somehow the hook on the end
of the rope caught in her hoopskht as
she walked past it, The man on the roof
was discussing the Darwinian theory, or
the tax on rum, or something at that mo-
ment, and seeing the rope shake he con-
sidered it Was the signal to haul up, so
without looking over the edge he began
to wind the crank with velocity. mo-
ment later the next-door neighbors heard
fearful screams, and as they rushed to the
windows they perceived an athletic exile
oi,Erin swiftly ascending toward the blue,
ethereal heaven.
The man at The crank fairly ached 30
look over and see what the noise was
about, but he couldn't stop, he thought,
until he got the bucket at the top. But
he put on more yehemence, and in mo-
ment he was amazed to see a human mead,
adorned with red hair, looming above the
gutter spout. His FIRST impulse was
to let go the crank and run. But over
coming the earlier shock of fright he
held on to the crank with one hand, While
with the other he seized a handful OF
warm red hair and hauled the owner upon
the roof.
We live in one of row Of houses which
are all joined together, and they do SAY,
that the impetuosity with which that giri
of ours charged upon theman who mussed
her hair and chased him over the roofs
clear up to the corner, where he saved
himself by crawling down the chimney
flue, was at once impressive and eXhila-
rating. She stood over that chimney ex-
pressing her views concerning the mans
present character and future prospects
until she was exhausted, when she walked

been paid when the note was down town
in the store safe, and not convenient at
the time to get, so a receipt had been
given tor the money, with the understand
ing that the note should be returned
when Grandfather Nudge felt able to go
down town to get it-and he was apo.
plectic and died suddenly.
Our grandfather was an honest, easy
sort of man, and supposing the matter
settled thought but little more about it
until he was taken sick month or two
after-and then he referred to the pay
ment of the debt only in general way.
He had put the receipt away in the vol
ume of the Spectator, it seems, and then
had forgotten to speak about it.
Well, was not that joyous New
Year! l don't think we shall ever see
quite such another. OF course the
Mudges gave up their claim, and another
New Years saw us in the glory of full
possession.
Little Beck always speaks of Dick as
the most glorious fellow in the world, but
she wishes his name wasn't Nudge and
Aunt Annice, deprived of her daily grum-
bic, and surrounded by every comfort
sits and knits. and knits and mods, and
wonders how Father Barton could have
been so careless with that receipt

Economy.

One of the hardest lessons in life for
young people to learn is to practice econ
omy. 1t is a harder duty for young man
20 accumulate and save his first thousand
dollars than his next ten thousand. A
man can be economical without being
mean, and it is one of his most solemn
duties to lay up sufficient in his days Of
strength and prosperity to provide for
himself and those who are or may be de.
pendent upon him in days of sickness or
misfortune. Extravaganza is one Of the
greatest evils of the present age 1t is
undermining and overturning the loftiest
and best principles that should be re-
tanned and held sacred in society. II is
annually sending thousands of young
men and young women 10 ruin and mis-
fortune.
Cultivate, then sober and industrious
habits; acquire the art of putting little
aside every day for your future necessi-
ties; avoid all unnecessary and foolish
expenditures. Spend your time only in
such manner as shall bring you profit
and enjoyment, and your money for such
things as you actually need for your com
fort and happiness, and you will prosper
in your lives, your business, and will win
and retain the respect and honor OF all
worthy and substantial people.--Ou Fire

Recent Municipal Elections.

The city of Rock Island, Ill, which
went Democratic last year, was yesterday
carried by the Republicans by goodly
majority, Mr.. Thomas Gait being elected
Mayor over Bailey Davenport, Democrat.
In the municipal elections in Iowa on
Monday, where regular party contests
were made, the Republicans were in al
most every instance successful; but in
many of the towns the election turned on
local issues, independent of party politi-
cal lines, and in these cases the Demo
cratic correspondents Of the Chicago
Tribune and Times impudently claim
" Anti Monopoly" victories. - Chicago
