Forced Benevolence.

Robert Carrick was one of the earli-
est bankers of Glasgow; he became the
chief and leading partner of the old
Ship Bank; he lived and he died a
grim, penurious old bachelor, and he
left not penny to any benevolent in
stitution in the city in which all his
wealth had been accumulated but on
one occasion the old miser was waited
on by a respectable delegation of three
fellow citizens for a subscription to the
Royal Infirmary, then in its infancy {;
he was requested to head the subscrip-
ton, and to their modification and sur
prise, he would only put his name
down for two guineas; and when they
earnestly besought him to increase his
miserable pittance, he talked even of
drawing it back. He told them he
could not really even afford that sum,
and bowed them out of the room, en-
cased with boards of money, represent
ed by bills and other documents.
The deputation then proceeded to
Mr.. M'Ilquham, one of the great early
manufacturers of Glasgow, to ask his
help. He looked down the list of sub
scribers and exclaimed, "Bless me,
what's thisq Banker Carrick only two
guineas !" They told the manufacturer
that the banker had said he really
could not afford any more. "What's
that you say Jamie"-to his faithful
cash keeper and eonfidante, James Da-
vidson-"Jamie, bring me the bank
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1880-09-17

book, and cheque, and the ink bottle
and a pen;" and he wrote cheque on
the Ship Bank for 100000. Some re-
ports give much larger sum ; no mat
ter. it was large. ''Now, Jamie, run
down as fast as your legs will carry
you to the bank, and bring that money
to me-"
The cheque was presented. Old Car
rick stared. $50 back" said he;
"there's some mistake" And present.
ly he came running into M'Ilquham's
counting house in high state of fever:
"What's wrong VII ye the day 2" said
the banker. "Nothing in the least de-
gree wrong. 1 only suspect, there's
surely something very wrong WI your
self and the bank, for my friends, these
douse gentlemen sitting there yonder
have assured me that, in your own
premises and out of your own mouth,
you declared you could only afford
them scrimp two guineas for the pur-
pose and if that is the case, think 1t
is high time | remove some OF my de-
posites out of your hands"
With some reluctance Carrick had to
put down his name for fifty guineas be-
fore Mr.. M'Ilquham would cancel his
cheque for 100000. The deputation
went away, scarce less amazed than
they were delighted.

The Wife's Share of the Work.

l scarcely remember any writer who
has ever ventured to say the half of
the work of the world is actually ac-
complished by the women; and very
few husbands who would be otherwise
than greatly startled and amazed, if
not indignant, if not derisive, at the
suggestion of such an idea as that the
work of their wives was equal to their
own. And yet for my part l think it
is. So far as l can see, the working
mans wife, who has to cook and clean
and wash and mend, and do all the
primitive service of life for her family,
has harder and more constant work
than her husband has; and, rising up
ward in the rank of life, l think the
same balance goes on, at least until the
level of wealth and leisure is reached,
at which the favorites of fortune, like
the lilies, toll not, neither do they spin.
But l am not concerned with these
heights. What dukes and duchesses
do, and which of them works the hard
est, will scarcely tell upon the argu-
ment nor am l deeply versed in the
natural history of millionaires. But, so
far as l am acquainted with the facts of
existence, the woman's hands are ev-
erywhere as full of natural occupation
as are those of the man. The mans
work lasts certain number of hours,
after which he has his we'll earned leis-
ure, his evening to himself, his hours
of recreation or of lounging; but his
wife has no such privileged amount of
exemption from toll. Her work is
''never done.n She has the evening
meal, whatever that may be, to prepare
and to clear away, and the children to
get to bed, and the mending to do, in
the hours when he is altogether free,
and considers himself with Justice to
have right to his freedom. In few
cases does it occur to the woman to
grumble at this, or to wonder why her
lot should be harder than his. 1t is
natural, it is her share. The whole
compact of their married life is based
upon this, that she should do her work
while he does his and hers is the share
that is ''never done.n l do not say a
word against this law of nature but /
object that, while this is the case, the
poor woman who works so hard is con-
sidered as passive object of her hus-
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1880-09-17

bands bounty, indebted to him for her
living, and with no standing ground or
position of her own. She is so cOnsld-
cred in the eye of the law and, though
the foolishness of the sentiment is too
manifest in her individual case to be
insisted upon, yet she is implied in the
general sweeping assertion which in
cludes all married women. "Men must
work and women must weep" says the
ballad. l would like to know what the
fisher-wOmen of our sea-cOasts say to
this lugubrious sentiment, or how much
time they find to indulge in that lux
ury. Which of the two does the reader
suppose has the most to do,-the mer-
chants clerk, for instance, who earns
his salary by six or eight hours work
in the office, or his wife, who has to
pinch and scrape, and shape and sew,
and sit up late at nights and rise early
in the mornings, in order to keep
neat and cheerful house, and turn out
the children in such a guise as to do no
discredit to their fathers black coat !
If had to choose between the two, L
should choose the husbands share and
not the wife's. The man is more ex-
posed to outside risks and discomforts /;
but the moment he enters his home he
is privileged to rest and be waited on
as much as if he were sultan. The
same rules exist everywhere. Among
shop-keepers of all but the highest
class, the wife in addition to her natu-
raj work takes her share in the bust
ness, and such is the case in great
many occupations. She keeps the
books she makes out the bills; in one
way or another, she over1ows from her
own share of the work into his. Usu-
ally wealth means cessation more or
less of labor. But great lawyer or
great doctor, for instance, may have
reached the very height of success
without having his actual toll diminish
ed and his wife in that case may be
carried high up on the tide of his sue
cess to a position of ease and luxury
which bears little proportion to the la
Dor with which he must still go on,
keeping up the reputation and career
which he has made. Even in that case,
she will have great establishment to
manage, servants to rule and social du-
ties to perform, and always, the first
and most sacred duty of all, the chill
dren to care for, which makes her life
anything but an unOccupied one. But
the wife of professional man who is
struggling into work and celebrity has
as tough task as her humber neigh
bor.-MrS. Oliphant an Fraser's Maya
zine.

costliness and Needlessness of Fences.

George M. Whitiker, in his lecture on
Neglected Trifles," makes the follow
ing statement of facts concerning
fence: In New Hampshire the original
cost of the fences is equal to twice the
value of all the stock in the state, in
Guiding horses, and the annual tax upon
the farms for fences would nearly wipe
out all the state tax in one year. The
Connecticut farmers pay one million
of dollars annually for the maintenance
of fences, and farms are offered in mar
ket for less money than would be re-
quired in building the fences which
surround and divide them. With such
facts in view, people in many places
are beginning to see that fences are too
costly, as we'll as frequently unnecessa-
ry, while their removal often improves
the appearance of the town. One of the
pleasantest features of the landscape at
the Massachusetts agricultural college
is the entire absence of roadside fences
against cultivated fields and moving
land, and so we'll does the idea of dis
pensing with fences take hold of the
college, that many of them are follow
ing the example set by the early found
ers of that institution, and are laying
their own grounds open to the highway,
thus adding much to the beauty of the
landscape, besides saving a great bill
of expense to themselves. One of the
first things which the rich feel is neces-
sary for their country home is, that. the
view should extend over the landscape
without the ugly interruption of fence.
This natural feeling is shared also by
those who are not itch, but like many
other things which exist simply from
the prejudices of habit, it has:hereto
been considered impossible to realize.
To-day however, by the slow process of
generations, civilized men have become
so imbued with love of order and law
that the fence should disappear from
the landscape as the draw-bridge and
moat have disappeared from the mod
ern mansion.

The Value of Good Stationery.

We do not suppose there is anything
that men buy which gives them more
genuine satisfaction in its use than good
stationery. There is pleasure in u.s.
ing good stationery, especially in pri-
vate correspondence, which cannot be
obtained by the use of poor article
however it may be managed. The val
ne of good stationery to business men
is rarely appreciated by even those
who are in the habit of using it. A let
ter always creates an impression. Es-
pecially is this true when the letter is
from a stranger. Accordingly it is we'll
for every one who writes letters to con-
slider what kind of impression his epis-
tie is likely to create in the mind of the
person to whom it is addressed.
The most important element in Gre
ating favorable impression by the let
tiers one writes is the style and quality
of the paper and envelope, the charac-
ter of the printing forming the letter.
head, and the taste displayed in the
general arrangement. If the whole be
done in way that indicates taste, ia
vorable impression is almost invariably
made. On the other hand, if the gem
eral style of the paper and printing be
slouchy, an impression quite the oppo-
site of favorable will be created in the
minds of the persons addressed. There
is nothing which the business man uses
in which cheapness is such bad policy
as the stationery employed in his cor
respondence. He may pay his clerks
only half salaries; he may descend to
all sorts of meanness in his manage
ment, and yet perceive no disastrous
results arising from his policy because
no one outside his own store will know
it. Such management cannot be pa
tent to his customers, and therefore
can have no effect upon their minds.
On the other hand, every one with
whom he deals by the medium of CORE
spondence has an opportunity to Judge
