HE Experience.

mo, sir, I never regretted marrying
Mollie here. She's been the making Of
me. l was IN idle dog when I met her.
and thought Of nothing but spending my
money at saloons just as fast as earned
it. She was only poor seamstress that
Was industrious. honest and frugal in hab-
its, for she'd had q hard row to hoe, poor
girl! Well, for her sake I grew saving
and careful, and soon had little money
in the bank. Finally we were married
and after furnishing two rooms, had just
500 left. It was not much, but it was
our own. That was fourteen months
back. Now We have this little house.
We have carpets on the floors of two
rooms, nine pictures on the wall and
nearly fifty books in that case Of shelves
up there which I made. Our house is
small, but there is no envy. no fear Of
the future, fault.6nding or self.
fishness in it. We have nearly
500 saved, besides these things in
the house. Our rent is paid for the entire
year till next spring. We 60 to church
regularly. attend concerts and lectures
and amusements when tho prices are not
too high. Sometimes the prices are so
high We cannot afford to 60. Then We
stay at homo, read to each other, have
visitors or 60 out little while to visit 4
few friends close by. I haven't been in a
saloon since l was married, sir, and will
never enter one again. had rather
these books. pictures, carpets and the or.
gan should be in our house than in the
house Of the man who makes his saloon
attractive SO as to entics men there 50 as
tospend their earnings. We find that
this life is as We make it. We are help
ing each other. and the more va do for
each other the better We love each other,
and thus my wife is leading me to heaven.
And from the bottom of nv heart wish
that oil young men who are travelling on
the road travelled two years ago would
follow my example for, sir, they'd never
regret it.

An unhealthy trade.

A physician of Sheffield, England,
makes the statement that the forkgrind.
ers' employment is probably more fatal
than any other pursued in England.
There are generally from eight to ten
individuals at work in each room where
the industry is carried on. The grinding
is always performed on dry stone, and
the dust, composed Of fine particles Of
stone and metal, rises in clouds, and per.
vadcs the atmosphere to which the opera
tives are confined. The dust, which is
inhaled with every breath, gradually in
duces diseases of the lungs, and under
