IOr dear lie on
Mrs. Joseph Denton's second best black
silk dress, which she was again making
over in conformity to tickle Dame
Fashions latest decree.
Miss Matilda felt, indeed, as if she
were veritably stitching for dear life,
for, though she sewed industriously all
day, save during such time as her house
hold duties absolutely demanded, and
every day, save Sunday, she still found
it difficult oftimes to meet the neces-
sary expenses in their little household
of two.
For Miss Matilda was extremely
neat and painstaking in her work, while
her charges were $50 very reasonable
as Mrs. Denton, who was one of the
rmost well-to-do of her patrons, declared
with great satisfaction. In other words,
they were very low, indeed, and her
earnings barely suficed to pay rent
land furnish a meager supply of the
physical necessities of life for her moth
..er and herself; to do even this she rose
early in the morning, and worked late
at night.
ct may never have occurred to Mrs.
Denton that the question of reasonable
pay might be two-sided one. In fact,
when this same second best black silk
dress had been brought for remodel
ing on the last occasion before this one,
and the Woodworking little dressmaker
Ventured to hint that she thought the
work would be worth a certain sum,
the same being about a dollar more
than her usual charges, Mrs. Denton
was quite indignant, and intimated
that if Miss Matilda was going to ask
such prices she should thereafter take
her work to Mrs. Gable, who, having a
husband willing and competent to
provide the comforts of life, took in
dressmaking at low rates to obtain the
wherewithal for superfuities.
But Mrs. Cables work was not nearly
so well done as Miss Matilda's, as Mrs.
Denton knew by report and personal
experience. 1t is not probable, there
fore, that she would have transferred
her patronage, even if Miss Matilda
had not, with an inaudible sigh as she
thought of the coal bin, thrown off the
extra dollar.
Then Mrs. Denton went down town,
and seeing dainty handkerchief which
took her fancy, she bought it forth
with She did not need it, to be sure,
G0ut it was $50 sweet, and only a dol
lar" and Mrs. Denton was feeling quite
rich just then.
Miss Matilda sat up until IL o'clock
that night, and rose before daylight
the next morning, for, beside the low
estate of the coal bin, there was an al
most empty flour barrel to consider,
sand the rent would be due next week
But Matilda Powers was naturally a
cheerful little body, and as she told heI
minister when he called occasionally
she "hoped she was Christian"
This day. however-it was just 3
week before Thanksgiving while she
stitched away so industriously on Mrs
Denfon's black silk dress, her mind
as busy as her slender fingers, she fell
to wondering whether she was very
good Christian after all.

A THRILLING TALE.
Crew by Yankee
Negro Cook.

Some of the naval veterans were talk
ing of their experiences when this tale
was told:
The schooner S. j. Warning was one
of those ships which tried to do a little
trading in spite of the nests of con-
federate priyateers that lined the
shores.
But she was brought up short one
day, her crew taken prisoners, a prize
crew put aboard of her and her nose
turned for Charleston.
The prize crew consisted of some six
or seven men, and the Yankee cook was
left on board to fix the meals for the
captors.
He was big strapping darkey,
named Tillman, and as the two vessels
drew further apart and he saw that
neither one was headed for New York
he began to have grave fears that his
future was not so glowing as it might
be.
He asked several of the crew where
they were bound for. and what they in
tended to do with him after they got
there.
They saw, of course, that the darby
was frightened, and so, to scare him
more, they told him that they were
bound for Charleston, and that he would
either be killed or sold again as slave
to the highest bidder.
That didn't suit Tillman a bit. He
had been free in the north too long to
relish the idea of returning to slavery,
and he made up his mind that, if he
could prevent it, the good ship s. J:
Waring would never reach Charleston
1t took him some time to decide on his
course Of action. To poison the
whole crew was impossible for lack of
poison, and he just about made up his
mind to do nothing when one night he
got to thinking things over, and be-
cane almost crazed at the prospect be-
fore him.
He seized Ratchet and crept up on
deck Things were very quiet there.
The second mate was almost asleep al
the wheel, and the chief mate was lying
in drunken stupor. Most of the crew,
in fact, were drunk.
Tinman crept to the captains cabin
and with one blow crushed IN the mans
skull Then he went back on deck and
served the first mate in the same way.
The second mate, however, saw him
coming, and yelled. Tillman went for
him and, after wounding him, threw
him shrieking into the sea.
The conmotion by this time brought
the crew on deck, and when they found
the crazed TiIlman with his bloody
Ratchet, they took to the rigging for
safety
One man only remained belowat Till
mans mercy The cook held parley

Tho study of tho financial ques-
ton would be simplifed and there
would be fewer sharp differences of
opinion in regard to it if number
of self evident, Fundamental prin-
ciples were recognized by all
students of the national finances.
One of these is that the financial
issuo resolves itself into question
of prices of cCrpmoditics, and that
the law of supply and demand ap-
plies to money as well as it does to
the property of every description
which money measures.
AS money appreciates all other
forms measured by money must
depreciate, and, as the other forms
are thirty times rs great as money.
the loss must be 30 times as great as
the gain. For tho man who already
has the money, or what is the same
thing, has obligations due him pay
able in money, it's appreciation is
of course good thing; but for
those who own property of other
kinds and are in debt, that same
appreciation always means loss, and
it frequently means ruin.
Tho laboring man must sell his
labor, If the price of the thing
which his labor produces falls, it
lessons the demand for labor and
reduces the value of tho labor itself.
1t is n most amazing circumstance
that any working man can be led
into the belief that the Morgans,
the Rothchilds, the Vanderbilts,
the Depews and the men of that
class, in advancing tho gold stand
ard and dear money, are actuatcd
by desire to benefit tho "poor
laborer." Their only purpose is to
add to the value of the money
