At the age of twenty Ave he had taken to himself a wife, Caro line Enstis, the daughter of a neighbor who had nothing to l.ring him except her own personal merits, which were many and habits of thrift learned in an econom ical household under the stern teaching of necessity. It was well, perhaps, that Charles Lyn ford should obtain a wife of this charac ter, since he himself found it difficult to save anything from his income. It was not long before Caroline became acquainted with her husband's fsdiw She could not feel quite easy In the knowl edge mat they were living fully up to their income, foreseeing that a time would come when the family would grow more expensive, and perhaps her husband's bu iness, now flourishing, might become lew so. - ... . ; Accordingly, one day she purchased of a tin-peddler who came to the door, a lit tle tin safe, anch as children frequently use as a savings bank. This, she placed conspicuously on the mantel-piece, so that her husband might be sure bo see it on entering. . Hello,. Carrie! wtfat's that t" he asked, curiously.

It sounds too much like business, and I have enough of that during the day." " But you don't object to my plan 1 " " Not in the least. I have no doubt it is very prudent and commendable ; but yon know, Carrie, I never was gifted with muoh prudenee." I am quite aware of that," said his wife, smiling.

T O. WOODWARD, was thoroughly satisfied of the wisdom of her purpose, and resolved to carry it through. Every evening she called on her husband for a dime, which was quickly added to the accumulation. Frequently he had not the exact change, but would toss her a quarter instead. She would as sure him, laughingly, that this would ianswer her purpose as welL More than once Charles bantered her on the subject of the little savings bank, but hese were not the only accessions the fund received. Her husband early arranged to nake ample allowance 'for dress. I say ample, though I dare say some of my city feaders might not consider it so. But Car oline, who was in the habit of making up her own dreses, provided herself with a ood wardrobe at much less expense than aome not so well versed in the science of managing could have done. IfAfter calculation, she came to the con clusion that out of her allowance she could be able to make a dally deposit equal to that which she exacted from her husband. Of this, however, she thought beat not to inform Charles, enjoying, in anticipation tje prospect of being able, at some time, t surprise him with the unexpected ajnount of her savings. fAt the close of every month the tin box was emptied and the entire contents transferred to a more pretentious savings bank, where interest would be allowed. When the sums deposited there became large enough, Mrs. Lynford, who had con siderable business capacity, withdrew and Invested in bank and other stocks, which would yield a large per cena. 0f her mode of investment her husband remained in complete ignorance. Nor did he ever ex press any desire to be acquainted with his wife's management. He was an easy, care- leas fellow, spending as he went, enjoying the present and not feeling any particular concern about the future.

Iguesa itH be all right I'll not trouble myself about it any longer. " The apprehensions to which Mr. Lvn- ford had given expression proved to be only two well founded. In less than a month from the date of the conversation just recorded the limited supply of work which he had been able to secure had en tirely failed, and he found himself with out any work of any kind thrown back on his own resources. Although he had expected this, it seemed unexpected when it came upon him, and again he turned in a fit of discouragement. He briefly explained to his wife the new calamity which had fallen upon him. And the worst of it is there is no hooe of better times till spring. " Do yon think business will revive then !" It must by that time ; there are five or six months between. I don't know how we are to live during that time." I do," said his wife quietly. " You 1" exclaimed her husband in sur prise. Yes," your income has never been more than $600 or $700 a year, and I have no doubt we can live on $250." "Yes, certainly;, but where is the money to come from t I don't want to go in debt ; and if I did I should not know where to borrow." " Fortunately, there is no need of it." said Mrs. Lynford.

More than two thirds of the fund was Still left, and henceforth Charles was no less assiduous than his wife in striving to Increase it.

Though he purposely laid no stress on these words, and said them in a quiet, unconcerned tone of voice, the dog, who appeared to be asleep, immediately jumped up, and. leaping through an open window, scram bled up the turf-roof of the house, from which he could see the potato-field. He then (not seeing the cow there ran and looked into the farm-yard where she was, and, finding that all was right, came back to the house. After a short time, the shenherd said the same words again, and the dog repeated the outlook ; but, on the false alarm being a third time given, the dog got up, and wagging his tail, looked his master in the face with so comical an expression of interrogation that he could not helD lanzhiutr at him. unwnicn, with a slight growl, he laid himf If down in his warm corner with an dffended air, as ifdetermlned nottobemadea fool of again, Baptist Weekly. his Fatal Indifference.

The new census of Dakota Is interesting. The returns from North Dakota indicate that in this portion of ihe Territory the population will exceed 150,000, while In 1S80 the entire Territory contained but 135,177, and North Dakota had 88,465, showing an increase of 450 per cent In five years. Fifteen years ago the entire population of Dakota was only 1,213. To tal from schedules already completed, 123,- 36 : the rest of North Dakota, estimated, 28,860 ; total for North Dakota 153,696. This summary is liable to vary two or three thousand either way. The six conn- ties in the Red River Valley show over one- half the total population, the amount be ing 80,962.

Household. After millions. Thomas J. Malby, a Boston teacher, ex pects a huge fortune. He is about to go to Newfoundland and then to England to se cure the Churchill estate of $35,000,000. Over 100 years ago Nicholas ChurchiU went to Newfoundland and engaged in the seal and cod fisheries. He was very pros perous and invested his surplus earnings in real estate in England and Newfound land. At his death, about thirty years later, he left some $10,000,000 or $12,000,000 to his daughter, Elizabeth GhurchlU, a whimsical lady living in England. Eliza beth died without marrying. She was a good business woman and added much to the property. She died in 1876, at the age of 104 years. She left no will, and, as she was supposed to be without living rela tives, it was thought that the vast proper ty would revert to the crown. Mr. Malby began to make Investigation. It took some time to establish the proofs, bnt he thinks he now has made out a clear case. Mrs. Malby, the mother of the claimant, was a niece of Nicholas Churchill and cousin to Elizabeth. Church records have been searched and dates and names copied and arranged so that the American family have little doubt of success. . An Angling Cat.

To label him with his full name and address would be so simple a precaution that it is surprising that it is not a universal . practice.

Facta about ITXeat. BY a VAanLY DOCTOB. Over-done beef or mutton is quite as in digestible as hard-boiled eggs ; it should be well cooked to be healthful, but rather inclining to under-done. Roasting re tains the juices of the meat ; boiling does not but the liquor In which meat has been boiled may be used as soup. Made dishes are not so wholesome or easily digested as joints, and if much flavouring or rich sauces be used they are bad Indeed for the dyspeptic. Teal does not suit the dyspeptic welL The fat of beef is digestible, that of mutton less so, and that of game apt to disagree. Much of the flavor of meat lies in the fat Immediately beneath the skin. A word about vegetables. The potato is king of them, but very seldom well cooked. Potatoes ought to be very well mashed, then stirred with a little milk till as white as snow and as smooth withal. All green vegetables are better mashed,' and they should be eated separately, and not with the meat They ought to form a dish, in deed, and might often take the place of soup with great advantage to the diner.

Among the tricks or rather habits ac quired by horses in the stable, resting one shoe upon the other hoof, lying in the gangway, rolling in the stall, and kicking are among the-worst In the first the horse if suddenly startled is apt to brins the resting-foot down suddenly, often seriously injuring the coronet. The remedy is a boot covering the nart liSelv to be most injured. Lying in the gangway may be prevented by placing a bale or rope behind the horse, preventing him from backlne np. Standins in the gangway may be prevented lsy the same means. Rolling is the most difficult to cure. The most feasible plan is to keep the skin of the horse free from sweat and dirt, which induce itching ; and also to allow the animal to roll in soft ground when sweaty and tired. A roomy stall, with sides slanting up to the perpendicular walls, will also prevent this, but a box stall will be the best preventative. Severe strains of the loins, even fracture of the hip bones, and other disabilities, are often the result of rolling in the tall. Lying in the stalls, at the extreme length of the. halter, results In strains and sprains in the attempt to rise. Kicking is one of the worst vices to which a horse can become addicted. If the habit is not inveterate it is cured by hanging a sack well stuffed with iay bo it may strike the animal in the rebound from the kick. Let him kick this innocent. A horse that kicks from being touched by the whiffletree or other substance touch ing him should be immediately takenlout of the vehiclfe and aUowed to kick until he becomes tired. The whiffletree should be padded so as not to sexiously injure him. It may then be lowered so as to touch his heels when he moves. When - he ceases to kick he is generally cured entire ly. The remedy may seem severe, but a kicking horse is worthless, because always most dangerous. In lieu of the whiffletree a saok stuffed with hay may be suspended so it will touch his heels in the stable. But a confirmed kicker should be sold to work In a heavy team where be cannot do much harm. A Water Closet Sea:. TOB TEI CURE OF HEMORRHOIDS, Commonly Called Plies.

There are 250 patients in the In- eane AsHum at Raleigh. Spiritualism. That famous Methodist, the Rev. Dr. D. D. Whedou. had, shortly before Ms death, evolved a curious theory as to disem bodied spirits. His idea was that the en tire nervous system in a human being, not contents of the cranium alone, constituted the mind. Therefore, the ramifications of the nerves, f jrming in themselves a shape confecming exactly to that of the whole figure, made the soul of man just like his body so i&r as configuration was con cerned. He believed that at death this contour and semblance of the dead body separated itself and became the eternal form of the spirit, visible to its fellows, and, under some conditions, to terrestrial folks. Dr. Whedou described how the soul gets out of the body. "Emerging upward," he says, " the spirit awakes into the pure ether a blessed atmosphere. This paradisiac ether is au effluence from the divine essence and the1 emancipated soul bathes, swims, lives in its own genial and native element. Paradise thus per vades our air above and around us, and at death " the spirit entersthereinto as through a veil." He intimated that appar itions are glimpses of the beings of this close by but usually invisible world, "Even the resurrected body of Christ," he says, " walked through the solid wall of the house, and first revealed itself to His disciples at the table." He-called these being angeloids, and argued that they leave behind them, in the discarded corpse, the baser attributes. The perti nency of Wheden's theory to modern spir itualism lies in it harmony with the al leged phenomena of materialization. .It has been seized upon by several of the professional mediums, and in some of the seances forms " in semblance comporting with the conditions of Lis angeloids, have been shown to astonish,, deciles. - Helpless t'pon a Friendless Seat Who, in taking passage in a great trans- Atlantic steamer, does not feel a thrill or exultation over her magnificent power, Against her the Storm King may hnrl his elemental forces, nor pierce her armor. nor stop her onward course. But let me describe a scene when, one morning in mid-ocean, there came an alarm from the pilot house followed by a cry : " The ship's rudder is lost !
