An English Wife.

Mono but hOusekeepers know how very
little of their money is really spent on
themselves Most certainly every wife
should have her private purse, for as a
wretched woman said only the other day

week or a dress for year than go 10 my
husband on Saturday morning with the

cause the butchers bill is Fl los. Cd. this

on having sweetbreads or Tuesday and
fllet on Friday and that that has made
the difference but he cannot or will not
see it and grumbles and haggles until he
makes me quite i'll, and then ne pays the
books, leaving me with a few shillings for
current expenses till the next Saturday.
He ordered some wood the other day for
which 8 shillings had to be paid at the
door. He forgot to leave me the money,

alton of i'll" And her eyes filed with
tears rs she spoke. That mans income Is
probably ssOo or goo year, and his wife
has to borrow shillings from her own
servant to pay for firewood.
Such a husband ought to be ashamed Of
himself. He degrades himself; he lower:
and harnesses his wife. Let him 90 seri
ously into the subject Of his income, de-
eide how it is to be portioned off, hand
the wife over her monthly allowance and
never discuss bill or hatcher with hel
again. 1t is to her interest to do her best,
and she is certain to do 1t, and life will be
made brighter for both accordingly.-Lon

be content with the clouds and storms.
The beautiful day has passed and gone

gathered overhead, predicting foul
weather. While seated with the happy

lot down our few culled items for the

Der of the Methodist church for more

safely say, "Come thou with US, and we
will, do the good"

never failing sources OF revenue if he
could only get 'Taeony" Read TO stand
in with him in ;gle enterprise.
He had Just taken an old steamer
down to one CT the Central American
countries. and had altered her into a
gunhoae fer them. He had been vel,
paid for his work, and now he wanted
'Sevez" Read to go in with him, and
make a contract with the country with
which the purchaser OF the craft was at
war, to jump on her decks and bring
the old tub over TO them
The temptation was too great for
Read to withstand. He accepted the
proposition with avidfty. A smile al
most angelic spread over his face as he
softly said: Let's go now. 1 have no
clothes TO pack up. Saver"
Alone they took passage for their
destination; picked up a chance crew
OF half a dozen rutfians. jumped on the
deck C the so-called gunboat in the
dead Of night and turned her over, ac-
cording to contract, to her enemies
Read afterwaTd told me that they had
written a letter to the original pur-
chasers. telling them than the whole
thing was a mistake and that for a
reasonable consideration they would
correct it and turn the vessel over to
her Fis'ntful owners. This generous
offer was declined, Read observing that
a ''dago" never could be made TO see
what was for his own best interests.
This, I believe, was Reads last ad-
venture of that kind. He shortly after
ward became pilot at the mouth of
the Mississippi. and died while pursu-
ing thar calling.
He had a sweet and affeetionate dis
position and was gentle in his voice
and manners.
He VIII need no monument as long as
the pages devoted to his feats in war
remain in the naval war records and
are kept in the archives of the United
States governments vez ?"
