"a gardener has worked on our place
ever since 1866, eleven years. During
that time his wages have never been over
$500 Il day, and that only in high price
times it ranged from 81 So down ; the
most Of the time it was Sl25. His wife
had no income and did no work except
to take care of the children and the house,
and he had no income but his wages. But
during that time he kept his wife and
children comfortably, fed them we'll, so
that they were always healthy, and dress
cd them so that they went to day and
Sunday school, always neatly dressed;
kept a COW and saved out of his earn
ings enough to buy two lots, and build a
house and a stable. He saved the S1.SOO
with which he did this in the first eight
wears. | do not know that he has saved
anything during the last three years. But
he never drank or used tobacco. He was
a Protestant lrshman. During the same
time we had a coachman who had from
- to $50 day, drank and smoked :;
owed everybody: never saved a cent !;
and finally, when he left, had to borrow
money to get out of town" TChrstian
Union.
An old but vigorous looking gentleman,
seemingly from the rural districts, got
into a car and walkedits full length with
out receiving an invitation to sit down.
Approaching one gentleman, who had q
whole bench to himself he asked: els
this seat occupied!!'' Ives, sir, lit is"
impertncntly replied the other. "Well,"
replied the -shouldcred agriculture
list, 81 VIII keep this seat until the gen
tleman comes" The original proprietor
withdrew himself haughtily to one end
and looked insultcd. After a while the
train got in motion, and still nobody
came to claim the seat, whereupon the
deep-chcstcd agrlculturist turned and
said; ''Sir, when you told me that this
seat was occupied you told me n lie" >
such was his plain language. 81 never
ST near a liar if ! can avoid it; | would
rather stand up" Then, appealing to
another party, he said Sir may sit
next to You You don't look like a liar"
We need hardly say that he got his seat,
and that the original proprietor thought
that there was something wrong about
our social system. Baltimore Gazette.
