Make a Beginning Now.

By all means cultivate the ambi-
ton to have a house OF your own.
Better live in your own cottage than
pay rent far a mansion. Make u
start toward owning a house. Be-
gin today. At least think about it.
Inquire into it. Do something soon
toward accomplishing the object, il
only to pay a dollar month on a
house lot. You will finally own Il
lot. Thee put away a dollar week
for five years aud get into a house,
ard begin to make your rent count
toward the ownership OF it. You
Will be surprised to fa tout low you
will manage to pay toward the
house hall as much again as Won
were accustomed to pay for rent.
You will have an incentive for denial
then. Something to work for.
Something to save for. L may taxi
you twenty years before you own a
house, but it is better to own house
at the end Of twenty Years than onf
to own it. Moreover. YOU viii do
more in the twenty years than pa

provements in it. IF YOU have any
land you will set out fruit trees.
grape vines and towering plants.
Yes, and you will have twenty years
of satisfaction in the Gaily thought
that you are paying more and more
toward the house.
There never was time when pee

illness of about 20 hours.
"His disorder was inflamatory sore

Friday. On Saturday morning, about
3 o'clock, he became i'll. DR.. Craig at

With perfect resignation and in full

New Albany, Ind, Dec 19.-Monday
morning Engine No. 10 of the Air Line
road, and Pennsylvania suburban
train, running between Louisville and
New Albany, collided at Vincennes
and Main street in this city. The
Pennsylvania train consisted of an en-
CINE and two coaches. 1t had $50 pas
sengers. One of the coaches was
struck in the center and thrown over
on one side, knocked off the trucks
and badly demolished. Ten passen-
gers were injured, mostly women, but
with possibly one exception, it is not
thought any of the injuries will prove
very serious. Engineers on both the
Air Line and Pennsylvania engines
claim htey were given the right of
way by the fiagman. A wrecking
crew is now at work on the wreck.

 at last, it was by a punch in the ribs, and I opened my eyes to find that we were standing still before large build- ing in a city street, and that the day had already broken q long time.
 Where are we?" asked.
 Bristol said Tom. Get down.
 Mr Trelawney had taken Up his resi- dence at an inn far down the docks, to superintend the yorl; upon the schoon- er Thither we had now to walk, and our way, to my great delight, lay along the quays and beside the great multi t1de of ships of all sizes and rigs and nations. In one, sailors were singing at their work; in another, there were men aloft, high over my head, hanging to threads that seemed TO thicker than spiders. Though I had lived by the shore all my life, I seemed never to have been near the sea till then. The smell of tar and salt was something new. I saw the most wonderful figure heads, that had all been far over the ocean. 1 saw, besides, many old sailors, with rings in their ears, and Whisl-ers curled in ringlets, and tarry pig-tails, and their swag ggering, clumsy sea-walk; and if l had seen as many kings or arch bishops 1 could not have been more de- lighted.
 And I was going to sea myself; to sea in . schooner, with q piping boat swain, and pig-tailed singing seamen; to sea, bound for an unknown island, and to seek fer buried treasure.
 While I was still ia this delightful dream, we ca,.te suddenly in front of q large inn, and met Squire Trelawney, all dressed out like sea officer, in stout blue cloth, coming out of the door with . smile CT his face. and q capital imitation of a sailors walk.
 Here ycu aIc,' he cried, land the doctor came last night from London. Bravo-the ships company ccInplcte!'

PART II. THE SEA COOK.
CHAPTER MI.
GO TO BRISTOL.

It was longer than the squire i'm agined ere we were ready for the sea. and none of our first plans-not even Dr. Livescy's, of keeping me beside him could be carried out as we intended. The doctor had to go to London for q physician to take charge of his prac- tice; the squire was hard at work at Bristol; and l lived on at the Hall un- der the charge of old Redruth, the gamelleeper, almost a prisoner bat full of sea dreams and the most charming anticipations of strange islands and ad- ventures. 1 brooded by the hour to- gether over the map, all the details of which l well remembered. Sitting by the fire in the housekeeper's room, approached that island in my fancy, from every possible direction; 1 eN- pIored every acre of it's surface; l climbed thousand times to that tall hill they call the Spy-glass, and from the top enjoyed the most wonderful and changing prospects. Sometimes the isle was thick with sa7ages, with
