E5Osg SIZE MANAGED IN.
Mr.. Marooney is foreman in a
foundry, and gets $50 Il week.
With this salary lie family ought
to get along we'll and save money,
but they DO not. Mr.. Marooney
has s. cousin, q shoemaker, who
gets only SIS a week, yet who
sails right along in lightning ex-
press, while Marooncy comes lag
glng along in freight with a hat
box.
"HoS do you manage it, Jack ?"
he would frequently ask, "to
gel along The way you do?
Hero you actually keep your fam
lily and save money on SIS a week,
while it takes every cent l make
to live, and | get double the pay!"
"Oh, | don't manage it ALL"
says Jack Il just take my money
home to the old woman on Satur-
day night, and she takes SIS to run
the house with, and puts the rest
carefully away
do you give her all the mon-
ey?" asks MI. Maroouey, musing.
"Ob, no, not quite l keep out a
little for tobacco during the week,
and trife to keep me from feel.
ing lonesome, II l kept it all in
my pocket I would spend it sure,
but Mary keeps it tight and safe.'
Mr.. Marconey talked it over
with his wife that night, and they
concluded to try Jacks plan. The
following Saturday night he
brought home his $50, and keep
ing back one: put the rest in her
keeping, and she promised to do
ner level best to set the table on
but S.. The first week she
squeezed through somehow, and
got along with $3.50. Mr.. Marco
Dey was quite pleased, and began
laying awake at night thinking
about what kind Of a house he
would build. He thought q plain
rustic cottage with u bay window
would be about right. The next
week her expense account footed
up $3.50. and Mr.. Marooney chang
ed his design fora future residence
from frame to brick. The next
week she brought it down thirty
cents more, and he added a wing,
with 8 wash-house. Then she
made a superhumap struggle, quit
buying milk, and came within two
shiIlings Of the goal for which shc
had been striving. Mr.. Marooney
decided on an iron fence in front
of his promises. Tae next week
she lost ground, slipped, and
came out at the Sc post. Mr..
Marooney thought a neat railing
fence was good enough for any
body, but when the ensuing week
she came in with flying colors, and
struck the S. mark in both eyes,
Mr.. Marooney had the iron rail-
ing reinstated, and granite steps
running up to the door.
The next week she took tie
money she had saved, and wcrt
and bought her love Of hat,
too cute for anything, a black silk
dress, and cherub OF a cloak, that
made the woman next door cry
with envy till her nose got sore,
and Mr. Marooney came to the
conclusion that it didn't pay to
live in ones own property, keep
ing up repairs, insurance, etc., and
the worry aud stew il dread Of
fire and earthquakes more than
counterbalanced any triaing dis
advantages there might be.-Pitts-

cherry lips, and then yon may set

Jennie Kingston gave q queer,
nervous little cough, blushed q lit
tie, and responded:
"I'm very much surprised at
you, jim"
"Now, Jennie, | don't like to be

love with each other ever since
we played at housekeeping under
the old apple tree away back in
Maine fifteen years ago"
Jennie sprang up, hastily, and
catching her jaunty little hat from
the mossy bank where it had been
carcleSsIy tossed hal? an hour be-
fore, exclaimed "Come, Jim, we
must 60 back to the hotel. 1t is

"Then l shall go alone
"Not at all," laughed Jim, "you

by means of the little sailboat.
Now, even if you were capable OF
travcrsing that little strip Of The

don't yon see I'd be left here for
the buzzards to pick ?"
"Of course l couldn't manage

fully.
Il thought uot."
:.Mr. UolDurn, 10 you call this

"Oh, l don't Know replied
Jim; "hadn't thought about it,"
Jennie sat down again upon The
broad, fiat rock, and drawing a
feecy scarf about her shoulders re-
marked stittly
"Siucc am compelled TO await
your pleasure, | may as we'll take

Jim glanced Il, the slight be-
witcbing little figure, sitting so
primly there, gazing with fixed
determination toward the rorth
pole, and haIt,amused, balf-puz-
zled look changed the expression
of his face for a moment. Then
the smiles predominated, chasing
away ali signs OF mystery, aud
throwing himself at full length on
the long grass at her feet he ex-
claimed:

"Jim, let's 60 back home"
"Jennie, let's go down to that

Jennie is very properly shocked
by this lawless suggestion.
"Wcll, if you would rather wait
a week or two" he resumed, care
lessly, II won't iusist."

she announced, in tragical tone.
A good-humored laugh accom-
panied his reply.
"Ob, we'll, have your own way

Her face grew a little paler, and
the lace handkerchief went up to
ths brown eyes again. Suddenly
a new thought seemed to distrrb
the serenity Of Jim's mind, for he
glanced up in her face anxiously,
and interrogatcd
"Jennie, you don't mean to say

the abrupt inquiry
"Why won't You marry me ?"
"Wby, you sec, Jim, the truth

That Dog.

10 the Editor of the Globe
A Paris paper reports the case of q man
saving the life of q dog which was swimming
in the Seine near the shore. Suddenly it
gave complaining howl, and began to sink,
Whereupon man in full dress threw himself
into the water and saved the dogs life.
Now there is chance for some one to dis
tlngulsh himself here on dry land, and he
need not be particular about the full dress,
tor dog Is in distress in the rear of an AL
pine cottage on Market street.
For weeks, day and night, dog chained
IN shed on the aforesaid premises, has
raised h!a voice in clamorous protest against
MS durence vile. and the general discom
| forts of his lot. Three piercing barks
energ5co and stdccato begin the fugue early
IN the night, and become towards morning
hoarse, broken wall of despair. But in Ell
ther case the lament is unfagging and the
dogs endurance cause for local pride. His
eyes are red from crying or the malaria of
his prison, yet, like the old guard, he NAV
die, but he'll never give up. His color is
black, and to the common vision there are
no marks of value about him.
Still, there must be some latent charm, or
his owner would not be SO precious of him,
to the disregard of the nerves in the neigh
borhood, and to the licensed murder of all
sound sleep. What satisfaction the animal
can be to his possessor, that's the question
| but of course he is. Just as some patriotic
souls are mado happy by the noise and din
OF the Fourth of July, SO the proprietor OF
| this Alpine chalet enjoys the vociferous dis
position of his awfully gratifying dog. ;.

Plymouth ChatrcH.

The church was filled to it's utmost with an
attentive audience. The opening exercises
were conducted by the pastor, Rev. DR..
Dana. The Rev. Mr.. Chalmers, of Albert
Lea, made the opening address, earnestly
enforcing the necessity Of personal activity,
without which no real progress would be
made; there was need of corporation on
mans part in Gods plan. We save ourselves
in saving others, concern for those about US
and eagerness to benefit them are the condi-
tions of personal growth and influence
Conservation, entire and sincere, must pre-
cede the blessing, for which, as churches and
community, we are waiting.
The rendering of the anthem by the choir
followed appropriately, when Rev. Mr..
Smith, the new incumbent of the Methodist
church pulpit, made the closing address. He
clearly set forth the reasonableness of revi-
walls, tbs permanence of their results, and the
multitudes they reach. The progress of our
times, he thought, was attested by the growth
of union movements, and the readiness of
all branches of the church to Cooperate.
His remarks were illustrated with great force.
and presented with much earnestness. and
the whole meeting was one of great impress
iveness.
At the morning service in this church,
Rev. Mr.. Morley's address on the need of o
general revival was listened to with ereat
interest, and proved both timely and inn
pressive. When presented to the confer
ence last Friday, it excited unusual feeling
and awakened great deal of thought.
The change of the daily prayer meeting to
5 O'Clock, meets with general approval and
will undoubtedly insure much increased
attendance.

E. church, who was announced to speak,
Rev. John Stafford took his place, and
preached q short sermon, taking for his
text part of tho sixth verse of the fourth
chapter of zschariah: ''Not by might nor
by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord
of hosts.'' E=a
The reverend speaker stated that there
was q striking similarity between the time
and people to which this was spoken and the
present. The main question now brought
to us by these meetings is how to boat for
ward the success of Christ's kingdom. What
would once cause success in the church now
seems to have no influence, and the question
is what do we need? It can not be tho need
of members that prevents success, for it is
written in the Holy word that 'one man with
faith can chase thousand and five men can
put to flight ton thousand" Neither can
it be the need of Wealth that
prevents success, for it is
noticeable that in churches where there is
the greatest success in carrying forward the
work, there is the least wealth. Neither is
it the need of intellectual culture in our pull
pits, for at no time in the history of the
world has there been more done in the di-
rectlon of founding colleges and educating
ministers than at the present time, and the
failure IS, IT anywhere, in taking care of the
head and neglecting the conscience and
heart. The great need of the church is di-
vine power.
Gods people want divine power inside and
out of the church. How shall we secure the
great blessing? The only way is to seek
God in prayer. Does He not say all things
shall be granted to you if you ask in faith?
Therefore, beloved brethren, all We need is
to throw ourselves down at HIS feet and in
sist upon the great blessing, and as in the
days of Pentecost, although the disciples
waited ten days, the blessing came at last,
and by the aid of the Divine spirit they went
forth to save souls. The reverend speaker
close his discourse with an appeal to the
Christians of st. Paul to pray earnestly and
with great faith for an outpouring of Gods
spirit in the city such as has never before
been seen,

RELIGIOUS REVIVAL.

The revival of religion to DO conducted
under Major Whittle and Mr.. McGarahan,
had beginning last night. The beginning
assumed the shape of "Union Services at
Plymouth, the First Presbyterian and jack
son street M. q. churches. These places
we're given over to preparatory service, in
which all Christians were exhorted to Join
actively in the work. and united, irrespective
of UNCONVENTIONAL lines, it was hoped that
the forthcoming labors would rebound to the
glory of God and the salvation of man.
The attendance at all the churches was
large, and can DO set down as significant of
the interest already existing and likely to be
awakened by the revival.
