SAVE AND HAVE, or, WASTE
AND WANT.

Either man must be content with pow
erty all his life. or else be willing to de.
ny himself some luxuries. aud save. to
lay the base Of independence in the fu.
ture. But if man de6es the future.
aud spends all he earns whether his
earnings be one dollar or ten dollars ev-
cry day. let him look for lean and hun
cry want at some future time-for it
viii surely come. no matter what he
thinks. To save is absolutely the only
way to get solid fortune; there is no
other certain mode. Those who shut
their eyes aud ears to these plain facts
win be forever poor. and for their obsti-
nate rejection of truth. mayhap will die
in rags aud filth. Let them so die, and
thank themselves. But no They take
sort Of recompense in cursing fortune.
Great waste of breath. They might as
well curse the mountains and eternal
hills. For l can tell them fortune does
not give away real and substantial goods.
She sells them to the highest bidder. to
the hardest and wisest worker for the
boon. Men never make so fatal mis-
take as when they think themselves
creatures Of fate: tbs the sheerest folly
in the world. Every man may make or
mar his life, whichever he may choose.
Fortune is for those who by diligence.
honesty, frugality, place themselves in
a position to grasp hold of fortune when
it appears iu view. The best evidence Of
frugahty is the five hundred dollars or
more standing in your name at the saw
ings bank. The best evidence of hon.
esty consists in diligence and frugality.

Witness-well. it was pretty hard

Diekson--Come, now. you surely have
sense enough to let the court know what
you call pretty hard.
Witness-I guess | can show the

Here the witness,rose from his seat,
and, springing upon the astOnished at
torney, grabbed him by the collar. and,
with a strong, impulsive jerk, landed him
on the floor. Then he gathered him up
and Topped him across chair-then he
begun to bang him over the floor, jam
him up against the wall and batter him
around over the benches.

lawyer.
This Is how he fetched him, retorted
the witness, giving him another lift

QUEEN vICToRIA's HOME LIFE.

The every day life led by Queen Vic
toria is thus described in the Paris FL
garo. the informant being the queens
favorite servant, John Brown: Her
majesty leads very regular life, be-
lieve ?" | said. "Yes. it is generally the
same day after day." was the reply.
"She gets up about nine o'clock in the
morning. and has breakfast in her apart
ments. Then she walks up and down
the terrace until she comes indoors to
sign her papers. The documents are all
put ready to sign, with the corner turn
ed down where she is to write. But her
majesty, woman-like, will insist on read
ing most of them. and on seeing what is
inside. However, she rarely makes an
alteration. After this, which often takes
two or three hours, she sees the Princess
Beatrice and has lunch. Then she will,
if it is fine, take a walk In the grounds
with the Princess Beatrice and Prince
Leopold, when he or she will drive out,
and | have to attend her. Then she
comes home, and one of the ladies reads
to her until it is time to prepare for din
ner. After dinner the ladies read to her
again, and she looks over pictures and
things, and goes to bed very early"
"The dinner is rather a stiff affair, |
suppose ?" | said. "Well, stiff is hardly
the word for it, was the reply. THE
guests assemble, and dinner is generally
announced before her majesty enters the
room. The minister is waiting. and the
people invited sit at the table. and there
is pause. When the queen enters, ev-
erybody rises, her majesty makes bow
and sits down, and the guests resume
their seats. The foOtman serves the
dishes in solemn silence, and not word
is spoken. Her majesty usually makes
two or three remarks during the dinner,
but no one speaks unless the queen
speaks to him, and the company is more
like Quakers' meeting than anything
else. Before the dessert her majesty gen.
orally rises, bows. and leaves the room,
but the guests, ladies and all, remain.
The Princess Beatrice generally leaves
with her mother. Then the conversation
becomes more general after her majesty
has left, aud at the end Of the dinner
Lady Biddulph, or Miss Cadogan. OF
somebody rises, the ladies leave the room,
the gentlemen remain, standing. Then
the gentlemen usually 90 to the smoking
or billiard-room. and the ladies to the
drawing-roOm. Sometimes the queen
will 60 into the drawing in the
course Of the evening. but not very Of.

IT DIDN'T SuIT.-A Detroit boy, after
finishing the last chapter Of book call
ed "The Pleasures of the Deep" plead
ed with his father to let him ship aboard
lake schooner. The old man smiled a
grim smile, took the case under consid-
Grafton, and in few days the boy was
on the rolling deep, having shipped as
greenhorn on vessel in the lumber
trade. He sailed to Saginaw, came down
and crossed to Toledo, and next day he
appeared in Detroit, lame and stiff. his
throat sore, one eye nearly shut and a
feeling of humbleness running all thro'
him.

man, as the boy entered the house.
"Yes. father, | want to saw all the

a day."

Father. you don't begin to realize
anything about it. The captain sailed
right along on Sunday, the same as any
other day, and ] believe he swOre even
harder. He wouldn't give me an um-
brella when 1T rained. be made me sit
up most all night, and two or three times
he called me up at midnight and made
me haul on ropes and drag old sails

when all Of us got of to bed at nine
o'clock. and there wasn't day that he
didn't boss us around and break in on
us every time we got to oreading anything
