How the Wife Saved the
Pennies for her Husband.
\*yHd^Itya>

BT MBS. A. E. HKNTOS.
"Poor, dear, John!" she murmured,
•'how I wish I could lighten the burdens
of lib % little mon for him I How helpless
I feel; it seems as if my work is ofa*
account since it does not add to onr income 1"
, Poor Mrs. Hart sat with a work-basket
piled up fall of work, but though ha fingers actively plied the needle bei thoughts
were far away on some other subject.
She was pondering over the narrowness of
their income and thinking with a tender,
loving anxiety. How broken and careworn her husband was beginning to look,
and bow shabby and threadbare his olothes
were becoming.
"Poor, dear, boy," she murmured. "I
hare not a thought apart from him. How
I wish I could lift tho harden of life
from off his shoulders a little ason for
him! How X wish I could make mon
money!"*
Bhe was a loving and considerate wife,
and many a night did she lie awake, thinking what she could do, or where sbe conld
retrench so aa to help him. Kot that he
complained, for he bon the burded too
silently, always reassuring ber that all
things wonld come right after a while. Today she felt depressed mon than usual by
a sense ofthe burdens pressing on him and
she taxed her brain to see if then was any
way out of it. She had been reared in the
South (as a rale, women wan reared in
the circumscribed manner peculiar to the
days, that an being mon and more numbered with tha past), bar father had
brought her up tenderly, with a reverence
for the sex, .mioh made him feel that a
woman should be kept apart from the hard
realism of life.
".They say, 'a penny saved is a penny
gained. I do wonder if I conld save any
mon pennies than I now dot Could I
dress mon plainly? I cannot take a
sehool," _____ aaid to herself, "for my
housekeeping and young children would
prevent. It is true I snatch a few hours
along to teaeh my own, but t eannot have
any system. I am sewing or doing some
other work, or reading aloud during tha
long winter evenings. Let mo see what
else can a woman do to earn money? She
can sew. but no one around here is able to
put out their plain sewing, aad John
would laugh at my attempting to when I
have seven at home to sew in*, besides my
mending, but Julia has gotten ao she can
hate dim and mend some for me. As for
writing and painting I have no talent, ao
that evpry avenue seems closed.**
Just then her meditations wen interrupted by the old cook appearing, Anns
Chloe, who says, "Laws, now, missus, I
'clar' aa' I must jes' leave dat dinner an'
de light nils jes' ready to rise in de oven,
'case my Joe has most broke his neck, no,
I mean his lag, but poor olt Chloe done
for dif winter."
Mrs. Hart heard these tidings with dismay. She had no experienoe in cooking,
and hap always disliked the task, but she
was up and doing and  got through with
But tho next morning Mrs. Hart felt
rather disheartened to find bar first light
bread a complete failure. It waa heavy
bread, to aay the least of it. To atone for
this failure she determined to make
some of mammy's delioious waffles. Certainly, I hare seen her make tbem often
enough to succeed in that, but aa thoy
persisted in sticking to the pan, she did
not have much better luck than with the
bread. Instead of being baffled or disheartened by her failures, sho aot to work
to master the art of breadmaking in all
its details, from the preparation of the
yeast down to the baking of the loaf, a
resolve whioh every woman, whether
rich or poor, ought to make and earry oat.
She argued with herself that if a fourteen-
year-old daughter of blaok mammy oould
roll up bar sleeves, and make up a batch
of dough, and bring in a plate of flaky,
light .rolls, why oould not she ? The
negro girl was hardly considered bright—
"and, well, I know I have common sense
and judgment, and it sball take me
throughs Day by day, Mrs. Hart's
bread improved, till after a few weeks she
bad the pleasure of seeing her family
really enjoy the rolls she set before them.
It had always seemed an insurmountable J
difficult]", this bread-making, bat aha
found toe difficulties, melting away as
she grappled with the task. She found
that with good flour and good yeast nothing mon is needed but care and patience,
and a little experienoe, to produce perfeot bread. How happy and how well rewarded for all her worry aad pains, when
she would catch the light in her husband's eye.
- .Her oldest daughter, Annie, a girl of
fifteen years, had a good deal of her mother's thjift and industry. She seemed
inspired by her mother's aaeoess, and
she would rise early, sweep and dust the
dining-room, set the table neatly with
napkins, glasses shining brightly, aad
clip a few of the sweet wild roses and
honeysuckles that clambered over the garden walls of the old family home. These
seemed to be the very happiest breakfasts they had ever known.
' "Tour coffee is so delightful, my dear,"
said the husband, as ho passed back his
cup for the second time; "how ia it tbat
it Is so much better than mammy's?"
"Because mammy would pour too
much waterfor the quantity of ooflee,"
replied she. "I measure oat a eap of
boiling water for each one of us that
drink coffee and one for the pot.
but mammy, who loves it so dearly, would
pat more than double the amount of water
to the coffee."
At first Mrs. Hart looked on her cooking
aa only a temporary thing, expecting
mammy to return boob. But Ola Uncle
Joe's injury was of a serious nature aad
her coming back very uncertain. And sbe
began to consider the question of whether
it might not be best to oook lisiaolf This
seemed to be the best way to lighten her
househofd expenses, and this one month's
teaching had certainly learned her that
tha labor and trouble of one's'housework
may be lessened by tbe exercise of fore.
thought aad ears, and bi aialam evaA method, and her family helped her in many
ways. Mr. Hart saw that she had __o
trouble »bout dry wood and water; they
had a good cistern in the yard; tbe eldest
son wonld get oot a basket of ice the first
thing in the morning fee his mother and
then -rather all the vegetables for dinner:
little Bess would help shell the peas and
string the beans and assist in many little
ways. Sbe felt acme what fatigued tbe
first evenings, but now her feelings bad
undergone an entire revolution; she felt
like she would not have the servants back.
As I said in the beginning, she had much
to fight against. In ber old southern home
there hadbeen in every gentleman's household a large corpse of servants, each one
having separate work in their departments. With these obi habits aad memories influencing them, it had seemed a
great oome-down to keep bot One servant
—and now not to bare any seemed hardly
possible.
At length tbe problem tbat had ao long
worried and perplexed Mrs. Hart seemed
to be solved. A practical way of lessening her husband's expenses had opened itself to her, aad M "a penny saved was one
gained" here was an open door to procure
pennies, j
Her husband would not listen to bar
trying to oook permanently, and was surprised to yee ber stoutly refuse to be pur-
suaded Us abandon her resolution.
fWeiytryttfQjf »%-■? uog&tys longer,
but I fear the consequences."
At the end of the fin* month he banded
her tbe wages he bad always paid over to
Mammy.
"Ah! no!." she said, "take it back. I
was only aiming to help you."
"I know your motives, my dear," he replied. "But I want you to buy something
nice for your own personal uso With it.
Tou have certainly earned it. I only wish
I was able to double it. I only wish I
was able to double it, as you hare saved
Mammy's board as well as wages, bat I
am sorry to say I cannot make it more, as
It tl all I have."
A thought flashed through her mind and
and she quietly received it, thinking this
the best way to secure something for his
benefit. After several months elapsed and
Mrs. Hart had been paid Mammy's wages
regularly, sbe might have been seen consulting eastern catalogues, and after carefully making up her mind tbe four month's
wages went of to a clothiers establishment and before many days she had the
pleasure of receiving by express an excellent, serviceable and genteel looking suit
of clothes, just such a suit as she had long
desired her husband to possess, but which
he had felt unable to buy. His old suit
bad become so shabby looking tbat it
brought tears to her eyes in seeing him
put it on to go to cburch.
How joyful waa the wife and how touched the husband when it was made known
to bim bow she had spent the money.
How richly she felt rewarded for her four
month's work. Tears passed on, and she
still continued to assume the helm in the
kitchen. Tear by year her children became able to help ber more, and she trained them to be thrifty and industrious like
herself. Ber daughters were able to as*,
sist about the household, giving a touch
of refinement and neatness about tho
whole household. They and their mother
afforded a living proof of the fact that it is
possible for women to retain their culture
and refinement whilst doing manual work.
Mrs. Hart used often to quote, and so
far as possible aot upon the advice given,
"to let no day pass without reading something by a fine author, looking at a fine
piotnre, or hearing a beautiful song."
It was an enobling sight to see herself
aad daughters seated in their pleasant,
cheerful parlor, two or more of tbem busily
plying toe needle, whilst the third one
read aloud from some fine author. She
found herself entirely emancipated from
the habits and traditions of her old southern life, and awakened to the fact that this
dear old mode of Ufe had*-passed away
forever, and that it BOW stoed them in
hand to adapt themselves gracefully to the
new era. By economizing their time and
dividing out their labor, the mother aad
daughters arranged so as to have their
evenings for reading, cultivating flowers
and visiting their neighbors.
Mr. Hart used often to say that his success dated from.the day his wife went into
the kitchen. Not only because of the
saving, but because her bravery, infused
fresh courage and made him a new man.
she was enabled to supply many little
comforts about the home ana he succeeded in getting entirely oat of debt and
poverty, and could look into the future
with pleasant anticipations snd was bow
free from anxious care and able to gratify
every reasonable wish.
Ah! what a blessing is a true helpmate.
Surely they are a gift irom the Lord. In
this case the united efforts of the household made home almost a paradise, but to
the wife and mother Mr. Bart felt he owed
all his success, and he honored her above
all women.
Love is tbe invisible bond that holds
humanity ia one great brotherhood.
Think of how much a little love may do.
A loving word may heal a wounded heart
and gin it strength to again enter the
battle. It is in homes that you see the
power of love. It binds "till death shall
part" the husband and wife. No sacrifice
is too great, no task too great te them,
if by suoh means they give happiness to
eaoh other.

It was early morning, yet, early as it
seemed, the littlo Australian mining camp
on the slope of Mount Magoari was astir.
Smoke was curling np from camp fires
where battered teapots babbled and
boiled, aad "dampers" were being baked
in the embers.
The air on every side was vocal with
bird music -Crowds of parrots flew overhead in screaming flocks, cookatoos chattered ia (hi gum trees, aad magpies
whistled through the  nvines.
But Tom Horton, "the Tankee lad,"
as he was generally called, had no ear for
the melody of feathered songsters on this
particular morning.
He was heavy baited, and, ia consequence, irritable. And tbe gurgling,
discordant and altogether exasperating
"He, ha, ha, ha a at" of a laughing jackass (a species of kingfisher) from a thicket
directly behind the rude shanty, did not
serve to sooth his troubled mood.
It was almost as though some malicious Individual was laughing at his ill
luck, he moodily told himself, as orouched
before ibe blaze, he sat waiting te bis
tea to" draw."
Tot Tom had not seemed to deserve ill
fortune, if their was truth to toe old saws
about pluck and perseverance.
More than a year before ba had quitted
the worn out down sist farm where he
had patiently toiled for his miserly uncle
since he was left orphaned and penniless
by the death of his parents.
He had no wild visions of finding a
great fortune ready made to bis hand.
He expected to work te what ha did
succeed in getting.
' Bot the rolling stone thus far bad gathered no moss. lie had sought work tb
large cities, bat his ignorance of City ways,
his lack of references, aad his ahabby
clothing were all agsinst bim.
Then he thought to try a new country,
and worked his passage to London in a
sailing ship. There, to his surprise, he
found things ten time worse.
From London he shipped as ordinary
seaman, at tiro pounds a month, for Melbourne, Australia. There he was robbed
of his scanty wages on the second night
after his arrival. By mere accident he
get a chance to drive a supply team to
Ballarat, aad from Ballarat he had
drifted to tbe Magoari diggings, ninety
miles to tbe westward.
Twenty yean before, there had been
rich finds in this vicinity, and in those
palmy dsqs the digging was of toe most
hasty and superficial kind. In tho greed
for gold, men dug awhile in one spot, and
if unsuccessful, deserted it for another.
And in a "nuggety" country not a foot of
soil would be left  unturned.
So a small colony of miners had located
at Magori, and here Tom Horton made
his first essay at gold bunting. One and
another of the friendly diggers contributed something to his simple outfit. They
helped him repair a half-ruined shanty,
and having taken possession of an abandoned claim close by, Tom went to work
with his usual energy.
"And here I've dug and sweated for
nearly six months." muttered Tom, disconsolately, as all these things passed in
mental review, "and how muph has it
amounted to?"   \e____\_
Rising, Tom stepped into tbe' shanty
which was lighted by a large window at
the rear, guileless of glass. From under
the coarse straw pillow at the head of his
bunk he took a small bag from which he
emptied on the slab table a few very
small nuggets.
"Not twenty pounds' worth ia all,"
said Tom, continuing his soliloquy in the
same discontented tone, "and here I'm
owing pretty near half of it te supplies. |
"Ha, ha, ha-a-al" gurgled the big
brown kingfisher from the dense underbrush close tha window.
"Con-found that bird!" angrily and unreasonably exclaimed Tom, and snatching
up tbe nearest thing that came to hand,
which happened to be a small iron skillet,
he seat it crashing into the leafy thicket.
followed by a howl oi pam _*__>_* m s*_-s._
ot oaths that certainly did not come from
thejackass, wbich skurried away with
another exasperating "ha, ba!"
A heavy built man, whose dard, forbidding features were half bidden by an
iron grey-beard, dashed madly from the
thioket, holding one hand to a nasty cut
just uuder one of his eyes, as Tom sweeping his nuggets into the bag, hastily returned to his bunk.
The mildest type of colonial language is
more or less emphasized by profanity; but
during the whole of his stay in Magoari,
Tom had never listened to anything like
the fluent blasphemies that escaped the
newcomer's lips, as presenting himself at.
the door he called attention to his wound. |
the other, he began tunneling toward his
young partner, who in turn worked his
j way slowly toward Deelish, both carefully
' "shoring up" as they went along.
But their utmost toil did not avail them
anything. A few small nuggets from time
to time, this was all that rewarded their
search. And one morning Tom woke up
to find that his partner had decamped,
taking with him not only the canvas bag
containing their joint savings, but also the
little one, whioh held his own private
store. He had bnried this last under a
loose slab in the floor, bat Black Mike had
discovered the hiding place in some way,
and levanted with the whole.
Threats of vengence were freely made
by the other miners—a perfectly safe proceeding when Black Mike was miles away,
Tom, far heavier hearted than ever, swallowed his sorrows and his scanty breakfast, and started for his claim. What
prompted him to enter the excavation
made by his rascally partner, rather than
his own, is one of those inexplicable things
for whioh there is ao accounting. Some
men eall it Providence—others, ' 'chance.''
Induced by whatever cause, Tom crawled in with lantern aad pick and began
work in the narrow aparture where he
could only sit, not stand, stopping from
time to time to remove the dislodged
earth in a rude diag which he pulled alter
him with a rope.
"Deelish didn't even take the trouble
to half shore up," he muttered crossly, aa
he noticed how insecurely placed were
some of the short props.
"Now look "at 'that!" he exclaimed
aloud, pressing his foot against one back
of him.   "I can shake it."
But the action suited to the word was a
terrible mistake. * Ibe prop and plank it
supported gave way, and with a deafening
crash the tunnel caved behind him.
There was but a moment for collected
thought. Already he breathed with difficulty in the oonfined space of five or six
feet which remained. Behind him were
tons of earth. It would be hours before
his absence would be discovered.
As nearly as he oould estimate only a
few cubic feet of earth remained between
the two minature tunnels which had been
slowly approaching each other for a fortnight.
Nerved with the energy of despair, Tom
plied his pick vigorously, jet with care,
packing down the thus loosened earth to
make room as he advanced—every moment
fearing tobe buried beneath somo falling
mass. •
Suddenly his pick struck something hard
but it never occurred to him in the fight
for life and liberty, what the obstruction
might be, till he saw by the light Or his
bull's-eye lantern the dull gleam of yellow
metal. ftaTf.
Tet what would gold avail unless he
oould reach the ligbt and air; the latter
especially,(for he was gasping for. breath?
He hardly glanced at the dislodged nugget, which fell before him till—oh, joy of
joys—his piok penetrated into the tunnel
beyond, and with a few more strokes the
cavity was made large enough for bim to
squeeze himself through.
Five minutes later a faint shoat from
the Tankee lad's tunnel drew aeveral eyes
in that direction.
•'I believe the boy has struck it!" exclaimed old North, leaping out of tha
trench and hurrying towards Tom, who
pale as death, reeking with perspiration,
dirty and breathless, stood in the mouth
of the excavation.
Two or three left their tents and shanties
and rushed to the spot where old Nortb,
holding in one hand the largest nugget
ever seen in Magoari section, was peering
at tt eagerly; through his pocket magnifying glass, while Tom looked up eagerly,
awaiting hia verdict.
"It's the biggest find these parts ever
saw, and the purest," said old North ea*
thusiastically, and 1 am happy to say then
was no one who gathered to congratulate
Tom Horton who was aot honestly glad
for him.
"If that tramp had worked half a day
longer, he'd a found it instid of you lad.***
said some one, as, after he had told his
irrtnm npith ~H~ TinrfiTsit J_a__L in Ju___J~_

i in his
-JP—=__,
own  goon
scarcely able to bel:
fortune.
"Much good it 'ud a done Tom,though,"
grimly returned another. "Black Mike
would have kept.it to hisself and lit out
with the first chance."
But what "might have been" was not
worth speaking of, and for the first time
in montns, Tom Horton turned into his
bunk with a really light heart.
And in the morning the bird concert
which began the day dawn had no more
appreciative listener than Tom, even when
the laughing jackass started in, for now
there seemed to be something joyously
exultant to the bird laugh itself.
Not many more mornings did he hear it
"A skitterin' of pots an' kittles through I though, for as soon as possible Tom set
the  winder  into  honest folk's faoes as'aat for.Ballarat.   And though lily'lsiid"
was not in itself a fortune, the sum realized by its sale will I have no doubt, prove
to be the nucleus ofa fortune, if Tom goes
to work tbe right way. He is beginning
right now at any rata.—The Qolden Argosy.

though the place was your own, you
white-faced young kid I" he roared after
somewhat exhausting his first outbreak
of profanity.
"Honest people haven't any business
sneaking about in the underbrush back of
a shanty window," sharply retorted Tom.
"And as far as the place is concernee, I'd
like to see any one make out that it wasn't
mine,' he went oa, defiantly.
The man, wbo had a square brutal lower
jaw, and a low retreating forehead,dashed
his battered billycock hat on the ground in
an ectasy of rage.
"Tou wonld, eh ?" bs shouted, throwing his hand to bis hip, where hung a
heavy revolver.
Tom was too quick for him. Snatching
from the corner aa old single barreled
fowling piece given him by one of the
miners, he covered the stranger ia an instant.
"Drop that or I'll riddle yoa with a
charge of buokshot," be said, but aot a
trace of his toward excitement was dis-
credible in his voice.
. By this time a small crowd had gathered
from the neighboring shanties.
"Thunder 1" exclaimed old Jimmy
North, as his eye rested on the scowling
face of Tom's would-be assailant, "it's
Black Mike.   I thought he was "
"Hung, eh ?" surily interrupted the
gentleman ia question, whose right hand
had left the revolver butt; "well I ain't,
an' what's more, Fas come back here to
the shanty I built an' the claim I left nigh
eighteen years ago—any one got anything
to say agin it.
_ It was evident to Tom, who turned his
troubled face to the bystanders, that no
one bad. "Blaok Mike," otherwise Michael Deelish—with half a dozen aliases—
was one of those characters not unlike the
"Bad Man of Bitter Creek," known to the
miqing districts of southwestern Montana.
He had been by turns a gambler, convict,
ticket-of-leave man, digger and lounger.
Old North had been one of the original
discoverers of Magoari, remembered him
as one of the community to hia own day,
and that he had abandoned his claim after
taking nearly two thousand pounds in gold.
"Tou better give up the shanty peacea-
said to Tom,
"No need of his leavin' 'less ho 'wants
to," put to the burly miner in a surly tone,
there's two bunks here ; he's welcome to
one of 'em, aa' if he wants to go shares on
the olaim, I don't mind."
This was quite a concession on the part
of Mr. Deelish, and Tom waa advised to
take up witb it. But indeed he had no
other resource. Until he was lucky
enough to make more tban he had been
doing, he had no money to hire auother
shanty, and all rest of the old claims were
taken up.
"Very well," he finally said, and without being invited Black Mike proceeded
to help himself liberally to Tom's tea and
"damper."
It soon became evident that Mr. Deel-
ish's idea of working the claim oa halves
differed essentially from the usual method.
Tbat is to say, Tom did most of the work
and halved the scanty proceeds with his
new partner, who spent most of his time
smoking stud drinking brandy "on tick''
at the canteen.
"If you don't like it you can leave," he
said, whenever Tom spiritedly expressed
his views on the subject. And as Tom's
luck grew poorer, he oould not save enough
to help him get -MSB as far as Ballarat.
So he stayed.
Perhaps because tired of inaction, Blaok
Mike  finally   took   an industrious   fit.
Horses That Can Almost Talk.
"So te as I can make out," said an old
fireman, as be affectionately patted ono
of the engine horses, the good points of
wbich he was showing to a visitor, ' "a
horse is about next to a human being; iu
intelligence, and some of them have a
powerful sight more sense than m_tny
men." Unless the Philadelphia fire-
horses are exceptionally s___ , this observation is true of all first-class horseflesh.
With rare exceptions the fire-horses in
this city do everything when an alarm is
sounded except actually buckle on their
harness, aud some ef them would do even
that if if they possessed tha physical means. In some of the enginehouses
there are six horses in so narrow a space
that they are stabled in almost a maze.
But when the alarm sounds each animal,
awaiting his turn to go out, makes his
aa) to bis place under the suspended harness of the truck, engine aud hose-cart
with as much sagacity aud understanding of the situation as the most thought-
ful laddis, Instances of special sagacity
might be multiplied. In the engine-houso
oa Church street, . Frankford avenue, is a
team of horses which can do almost anything but talk. The stalls are so arranged
that unless each horse should take a particular position the moment an alarm is
sounded confusion would at onoe ensue.
One of the horses in the front stall, for
instance, must wait until the horse in the
rear stall has backed oat aad followed a
front horse through the stall to the engine. But no mistakes an ever made,
and the firemen pay no mon attention to
the movements of the horses than to those
of each other, fully understanding that
the animals an to be relied upon as
thoroughly aa the men. There is one
specially interesting feature of toe drill
of these horses which shows that they do
not go through their movements fiom tho
mere force of habit, but that they possess
the power of observation as well. If they
are changed about to the stalls each will
take, not the place he has been accustomed to take when in his own stall, but
the place of the horse which has been occupying the stall to whieh he is temporarily attached. Old Charlie, who has
been a Fire Department horse for many
years, will even do mora than this. If a
fresh horse is brought in, and in the first
few trials it makes an error, the old horse
will coach him; give him a gentle reminder to go to the proper place, butting him
or shoving him over, or to other ways directing him to bis proper place. If one of
the team chances to get into Charlie's
plaoe at the cart or the engine he will
be promptly pushed out, and will be sent
to his own position by the veteran. "Indeed," aaid ons of Charlie'a firemen
friends, "there is nothing tha old horse
can't do to show that he is almost human
exoept to drink and talk."—Philad. IpMa
