A Husband and His Money.
1t is not so much the amount of
money a man earns, but the way
he spends it, which solves the
problem as TO whether he has a
happy home or not A and b
have an equal salary $50 per
month. One has prettily-furn-
ished house, a comfortable table,
his wife and children are respect
ably dressed, they all move in de-
cent society, occupy a pew in some
church, and have monthly credits
with the merchants with whom
they trade. the other, with his
wife and children. have uncom-
Portable quarters in some board
ing-house the wife is shut out
from society; she Is not properly
clothed for the different seasons !;
she is never seen at any place of
public amusement with the child
rem ; she rarely gets to church, and
all the domestic life of the family
Is nothing more nor less than q
miniature hell and in numerous
instances, strange as 1t may seem
the one who suffers has quite as
good capacities as the one who
prospers. The whole secret of the
difference is in the way they use
their money. For every cent that
A puts out he gets something for
his family. TO illustrate B spends
fifty cents day for cigars and to-
bacco; fifty cents day for drinks
and fifty cents a day for lunches,
billiards, car fare, dc. Then, after
he has paid his monthly board,
wash bills, &C., he hasn't got a
cent left, nor the slightest thing
on earth to show for his money.
He lives for no other purpose than
TO distribute his hard-earned
money to saloons, restaurants and
clearinghouse keepers. It's a
dreadful way of spending ones
life, but hundreds do it. 1t is true
that fifty cents will buy five cigars
or ten glasses of beer. 1t will also
buy two pairs of stockings, two
linen collars, a pair of gloves, two
pairs of pocket handkerchiefs and
various things; the wise man gets
them, the fool goes looking shabby.
Fifty cents will pay for two games
of billiards, and it will buy quart
of milk, a loaf of bread, a pound of
sugar. a quart of berries, and
quarter of a pound of butter. The
fool plays billiards, and the wise
mans wife and baby have good
breakfast. b breaks a five dollar
bill in saloon and before he can
say Jack Robinson every cent of
1t is gone somewhere. where he
can't tell, but the most of it in
treats to worthless companions. A.
takes his five dollars and gets his
wife pair of slippers, a collar and
pair of cuffs,a now summer dress,
a few little ribbons and a pound
or candy--ro man, by the way,
can expect to be thoroughly happy
unless he buys wife candy occa-
sionally. We have said enough to
illustrate how happiness comes
from the proper use of money, and
how sure misery is to follow per-
verted use of it.

success a gentleman, aged perhaps 30, with
very black hair and black whiskers, and
jaunty and juvenile mein, came out of the
yard through the archway. He was not my
friend. My friend was go, was white, was
aged; this man was eXuberant with youth.
scarcely bestowed even one glance on this
gentleman; but my surprise was intense on
seeing the policeman instantly collar and
handcuff him. He was the man. By sim
gular coincidence, he had been watched the
night before round the cloisters of Westmin-
ster abbey. He was ''known to the police"
He had been tracked more than once in these
LARS by detective dressed in plain clothes.
He was frequenter of interesting places, in
tollettes more or less grave. He had even
been known to be a bishop in the Crystal
Palace at Sydenham. He was fond of assum-
ing digIified character, with a leading to-
wards venerable age. Pity that society mis-
understood him! With such versatility of
talent he might have risen very high in the
branches of Legitimate felony.'
Briefly, my friend was first-class thief; he
had graduated in the kleptomanic college.
Not precisely at Oxford, nor accurately at
Dublin, he had nevertheless taken his decree.
M. A. he was, though the "A' might be
equivocal in the moral of its range, while
doubtless difficult to "master." He had
been at very good school; and as it trans
pired not many days afterwards, when his
stQH was told before a magistrate, he had
oHee gained prize for Latin composition,
and had been second for an exhibition at OK
ford. His boast was therefore we'll founded.
He had merely directed into felonious chan
nels the abilities which were meant for con-
ventional.

POETRY.
Singing.

Let me count up the songs of life that we
Have sung together from the first till now;
The simple baby-rhymes of bird and bee,
OF sun and star, of stream and blossOm-bough.
The deeper music of our youths new song,
In days when life looked wonderfully fair;
When hearts were daring, pulses quick and strong
When woe was not, and joy was everywhere.
The wilder strain of passion, smiles and tears,
When love awoke with power to Stay or save;
The calmer melody of graver years,
In minor key, like music by grave.
And now we have another song to learn,
IT'S written for us. we but wait our turn.
often think this unseen, unsung song,
With all its strangcness will have notes we know
And we shall hear its awful chords among
The mingled music of our long ago.
The simple snatches of our baby-rhymes;
The thrilling bars of youths triumphant STRAIN
The peals OF melody, like wedding chimes,
That bring our summer love-song back again.
1t may be this new song is hard to sing,
But shall we grudge to learn it who have grown
Tired and voceless in earth's carong,
Yet fain would have some melody our own?
And, though it is the song of death, we know
That, singing it, to endless life we go.

of age; have suffered many years with Kidney COM
plant weakness in my back and stomach. was
induced by friends to Try your Negetine, and think
it the best medicine Tor weakness OF the Kidneys
ever used. have tried many remedies for this
complaint, ard never found so much relief as from
the Vegetine. 1t strengthens and invigorates the
whole system. Many of my acquaintances have
taken it, and believe it to be good Tor all the COM
plants for which il Is recommended.

NEARLY BLIND

H. Il. STEVENS Dear Sir-m expressing my
thanks to you for benefits derived from the use el
Fegetine and to benefit others, will state:-
When eight or nine years old l was afflicted with
Scroiula, which made its appearance in my eyes,
face and head, and was very near bind Tor two
years. All kinds of operations were performed on
my eyes, and all to no good result Finally the dis
ease principally settled in my body, limbs and feet
and at times in an aggravated way.
Last Summer | was, from some cause, weak in
my spine and kidneys, and it was at times very
hard to retain the urine. Seeing your advertise
ment in the Commercial, bought bottle of Vege-
tine, and commenced using according to directions.
In two or three days obtained great relief. After
using four or five bottles noticed it had wonder
ml effect on the rough, scay blotches on my body
and legs. l still used Vegetne and the humorous
sores one after another disappeared until they were
all gone and attribute the cure of the two dseas-
es to Vegetne, and nothing else.
i'll am ever affected with anything of the kind
again shall try Vegetine as the only BILE rem
edy. Once more accept my thanks, and believe
me to be. Very respectfully. ly.
