A Saving Wife.


Mr. Rose, a merchant now residing 10 Pbila-
delphia, who formerly lived in rather an ex-
trayagant style, was 10 the habit, every Mon
day morning, Of giving his wife certain o.
mount Of money for table aud other household
expenses Of tie week.
lie never mentioned bis business TO bis wife,
aud she, dceming him sufficiently capable OF
attending to bis own offars, never inquired
into them. About fifteen years after their
marriage, through some slight mismansgement
and the rascsiiy of his confidential clerk, Mr..
Rose suddenly broke, and his fall was men
toned sympatlizingly on Change, aud-like
all such mstters-there sympathy ended. The
merchant kept the affair secret, and the first
intimation Lis lady bad Of it was by para
graph 10 a paper. Shortly after dinner was
over on the day of tie discovery Of The start
ling facts, Mrs. Rose desired be, husband 10
remain in the parlor a few moments, ns che
had something 10 say to him She then lef;
the room and hurried upstairs and snortly af-
tervards returned with splendilly bound BIZ
bic in her hand. Handing il to her husband
she said - George the day following our mar
rage you gave me this precious book as to-
ken Of Your love, and as q rich fountain 10
look to 10 the day Of trouble It's pages have
been precious to ne, and, as your brow looks
sod to-day, now return i, to you, that you
may CLEAN from it some consolation in the
hour Of gloom"
She then left the room.
The merchant opened the book carelessly,
and bank bill fell out Of it, lie picked il
up and glanced at its FACET was $40 bill.
lie opened il at the first page and continued
to find an Y between every two leaves till ho

of $4,000.
He rang the bell servant appeared.

upon Us we should have something to SAFE us

But why put it in the Bible, Kate?'
Because it is 4 good bank, and one which
will not suddenly break" replied the LAZY.

Give the Old Man a Rest and o Good
Dinner.

Civilization and hunger are iocompatible.-
All the virtue and graces Of humanity-cer-
tainly Of male humanity-fy before an empty
stomach. 1t may be possible for man 10 be
hungry aud amiable at the same time, but il
is no. safe for any wife to presume upon SO
unlikely an occurrence habitually. Ignorance
of this physiological truth has been the ruin
OF many an otherwise happy household. And
we NAV set il down, from both observation
and experience promising that our experience
10 this respect has been exceptionally happy
that prepandial discretion is the seyerost
test of a good WIFE Jus, before dinner is the
worst possible time to bother husband with
questions or complaints, or even with efforts
10 be aggressivey agreeable Then is the time
above all others when social silence should grace
the home, and make il seem to the tired man
the most delightful and restful place on Garth.
Half an hour Of quiet Just then is the best
possible preparation for the social enjoyment
of the coming meal. for then the nervous
tension and mental strain of business care and
snxiety can be gradually relaxed and the en-
tire system brought into conditions for en- Joy
ing food and the amenities of social soc iety.-
Yet how frequently does the wife choose that
particular time to speak OF her trials aud
troubles, the misconduct Of servants and chill
dren, the petty requirements OF the household.
or other things trivial or disagreeable, and
then marvel that her husbands temper is not
