You know that all I have belongs to yen and the child ron am 1 lon't I ftu-aish the hote-e and every thing? "A bat untlfi tlio sun would you do with laoney if yon hail it:" i know, Donald that you buy the necessaries for us all, and I am will ing that you should do no still, but I should like a Utile money oi'my very own. Y'e have been ivmrried fifteen years, and in all thattimo I do not oce;n lt have oatv.e .1 oa dollar. A far as money is eoneei ned I might r.o well be a slave. I cannot buy a itnut of berries, y.a' a hook, witliont asking you for Ike money, and I should like to be a little more inde pendent. Idr. Jar vis, proprPdor of Jarvis's mills, worth thousands and thousands of dollars, laughed ueri-.uveh. "Yon are a hne one to 1al!: of hide. -pc-ndence." said he. "If y.u wonid start out to make your own living, you'd fetch up in the poorhouse soon enough, for what could you do to earn a living? The gii'l " ' fac tory knov.- how to do d. ... and th-.-y earn their 'r.gv.-;. . i have laud them my dutt' :- k:,e, but I have to board and clothe you, and tarie care of yon wlien you are sick. Il'li.ad to do that for the givls, I would have precious little money left, I can tell you." "Donald, 1 gave) r.p a good trrdc when 1 marriod you. For live years 1 had .supported myself by if. and many a time since 1 have envied my self the purs! ofthoec day. As for my not earning anything now, I leave it to you to aoy whether it would be possible to hire anoth r t t ake my pbtee ; and now much do you sun pose; it would cost to do without me a year? 1 know the girls have but little left after paying their expanses, but they enjoy tbat little so much. Ailio YVhttson supports herself and her mother with her wages, and lliov both drets belter than I. do. Jennie If art hs helping her father pay ou the mortgage en his farm, and she is so nappy l hat she can do so. Even Jane, the kitehin girl, has more irecdom than J, for out of her own money she is laying by presents for her relat ive?, and will send them Christinas, as much to her own pleasure ivi theirs. Yesterday an iudkm woman was at the house with such bansomc bead work to sell, and, although I wanted sonic money so much, I had not a dollar ! I felt like crying when Jane brought in her week's wages and bought half a dozen articles that I wanted so much.. You often- say that all you have is mine, but live dollars would have given me mere pleasure yesterday than yoi:- hundrels of thousands of dollars worth of property did." "No doubt of that Mrs. Jarvis. Y'ou have no idea o? the value of mon ey, and you would have enjoyed buy ing a lot of bead trash that would lot be worth a cent to anybody. Jane needs a guard iaa if she fools away her money like that. She will be in the county poorhouse yet if the don't look out. It's very lucky, indeed, that men do hold the money, for there is not one. woman in a hundred who knows how to-use it !" "For shame, Donald Jarvis ! you know better. Look at Jerry ami Miily Creg; wiIlNyou, and say that he makes the oest use of las money. Site is at home with her parents every night, making her wages go as far as possible toward making them comfortable, while he is carousing in the vilhiue.wre'ting his time and mon ey, and making a brute of himself besides. And why does rdrs. Sarton come to receive iier husband's wages batelf? Simply because he cannot got by the saloon with money in his pocket, and if she did not get the money they would ail go hungry to bod after his wages were paid. And I believe that every woman that earns money here spends it as wisely as the average of men, and I have yet to I tear of one of them being in debt." ddr. Jarvis knew he could not gain say a word his wife had said, for they were ail true. Luckily he thought of Jane. "Well, how much do you suppose Jane will have left when .Now Year comes? If nhe would get sick how Song could she pay for care such as you have?" -if is not likely she will lay up many dollars out of a hundred a year ; but she is laying up something bet ter, I think. Last winter she sent h- r mother a warm shawl and a pair of shoes, and to her brother and sis ter new school books, and the v.' arm, loV'i! more letters f uey send nor 00 her ood feat twice the amount of in the bank would. This money ar she is laying by a number o useful slid pretty tilings tor mem. aitv., if any misfortune should happen iu Jane they would only be too glad to help her. 'A fell, who do you suppose would - you if yoi; needed help?" said . 4 ' waul of a better qne:i- 2ir. Jarvs w 03 sparkled lion. An-sd .T.-.rvis's Vj. . ... 1 . angtitV as e.: an -eieii .

"Luckily you couldn't, if you want ed to spend ii on beggars." 'Donald, you know that I would spe;;d money as wisely as you do. Who was it i hat, only last week, gave a poor, lame beggar live dollars to cuv hv fare to Ltn ton and then saw dm throw his crutches aside and maae ior ne nearest- sa;oou. xour wig could not do worse if trusted with a few dollars. You suy tnat the money is miue.yctyou spend it as you please,- while I cannot spend, a dollar without asking you for it, and telling what I want it for. Any beg gar can get it in the same way ! Christmas you bought presents for us and expected us to be grateful for them. A shawl for me of the very color that I cannot wear, a set of furs for Lucy that she did not need, a drum for Robin that" has been a nuisance ever since, and a lot of worthless toy s that are broken up in a week", x here "were forty or lii'ty dollars of my money y -c the same as thrown away, yet Wi.en 1 ask you 10 ft use me with two dollars a week vou cannot imagine what use I have for it, and fear it will be wasted. I am sure I could not spend i'd'ty dol lars more foolishly if i fried to." "Weil," snapped the proprietor, "I guess it is up, own money, ami I car. speiid it as I please. I guess you'ii know it. too, when you get another present." "Oil, it is your money then. I understood you to say that it was alt mine, and pretended to protest against, your spending it so foolishly. if it is your own, of course you have j a right to ?;pend it as you please, j but it seems . that a woman who left parents and brothers and sisters, j and all her friends, to make a home; for you among strangers, a woman who has given her whoie lite to you for fjfteed years, might be looked up on v,' ith as much favor as you give to beggars, who are very iikeij to be importers. I know that you seldom turn them off without help, perhaps I would be more successful if I ap pealed te 3Tou as a beggar, I might say : Kind sir, please allow me out of your abundant means a small pit tance for my comfort. It is true I have enough to eat, and do not suffer for clothing, but, although I work for my master from morning to night, and if his children happen to be sick, from night until morning again, yet he does not pay me as lnuch as he does his cook, and I am often great ly distressed for want of a trifling sum which he would not mind giving to a perfect stranger. The other day while he was from home," I had to goto the next station to see a dear friend who was ill, and not having a dollar of my. own, I was obtigeel to ujitow the money from his cook. I was so mortifed! And not long since .the berry-woman came witn such nice berries to seii. and my. lit tle .girl who . was , nor, well,, wanted some so tery. -badly,: dnsd-I : ha?i not even five-eents to pay "for a mndfui for.., her.

It was a wortlry object, and T longed so much to give her a little money for so good a purpose, but though the wife of a rich man I had no money, of course I might ask my husband for moucy, and if I told him ail about what I wanted with it, end he approved of my purpose, and was in a good humor, ho would give it to me ; but, sir, it is teribly slavish '. have to do so, even if I could run to him cverytime I wanted anything. People say I am a fortunate woman because I am rich, but I often envy the factory girls their ability to earn and spend their own mono y. And sometimes I get so wild thinking of my helplessness that if it were not lor my children I think 1 would just drop into the river and end it ail," "Nettie ! Nettie Jarvis ! What are .von saying?" cried the startled husband at last, for the far-away look iu her eyes as if she did not see him, but was looking to some higher pow er to help her, touched his pride, if it cud not his heart, for he had a good deal of pride iu a selfish sort of way. lie was proud to support ins family as well as he did. lie was proud that when his children needed new shoes he could tell his wife to take them to Crispin's and get what they needed, lie did it with a ilourish. lie was not one of those stingy kind he liked to spend money : and when Nettie, who was once the most spirited young lady of his acouatntanee, came meekly to him for a dress or eloaK, he was sometimes tempted to refuse her money just to show her how helpless she was without him, Y'es, he was proud of his family, and wanted them to feel how much they depended up- ""n. lie would have feii aggra- - ' ad left his wife a vatta r-y one m-.- k iuue- legaey. thus ij lowing he? n pendent in Iter purse; Tije idea of I her earning money, as hir- other ,Tork-1 folks did, never entered his mind, . He "supported her," that was his idea of their relations ! lie never had happened to think that it was very good of her to take his money and s')end it lor the a'ood of himself and children. He never had thought, that any other woman would have wanted big pay for doing it. He had even thought himself very generous fur allowing her money to get things to make the family comfortable, .Things began to look differently to him just now, even just to his wife ! Had he paid her so poorly for her fifteen years of faithful labor for him that if she had been obliged to begin the world for herself that da-, it would have been as a penniless wo man, notwithstanding the houses, the iando and mills that he had so often fold her were ail hero ; for lie knew,as every one else did, that not one dol lar of all lee had won id the law allow her to call her own. How fast he thought, standing there at the olilee window looking down r.t the little houses where the mill hands live. Could it be possible that his wife envied them anything ? Could iiibe that he was not as good a mart as lie thought ? He had felt deeply the wrongs of the slave.wkose labors heel been appropriated by their masters, and with a negro who had worked twenty years for his master before the emancipation freed him, came to Jarvis mills, friendless and penniless, the heart of the proprietor swelled with indignation at sneli in justice. He was eloquent on the subject, at home and abroad, and wondered how anv one could be so cruel audi selfish as to commit such such an outrage against justice. lie iin-t ended Sum a roobcr many a time, but. sow Donald Jarvis looket to himself very much like the obi slave holders! Massa Brow-i had taken the oroeeeds of Cui fee's labor for his own without even a "thank you" for it. True, when Cuffee ate he had. given mm iooa, when no was sick he had given him medicine, and he had clothed him, too, just as he himself thought best. Mr. Jarvis had married a lovely, conscientious woman, and for fifteen years had ap iro7riatcd her labors. Her rocoin- t x pease had been food and clothes, snub as lie thought best for her. A iitdie better than Juileo's perhaps, but the similarity of the cases did not please him. He had expected his wife to be very grateful for w hat- he had done for her, but now he wondered that she had r ot rebelled long ,t go. Had his life been a mis take ? Had his wife no more money or liberty than Cu.Tee had in bond age. ? Was Donald Jarvis no better than Massa Drown ? His brain seemed to be in a mud dle, and he looked so strangely that his wife, anxious to bicak th' spell, took his arm saying, "Let us go home, dear, tea must be waiting for us." He took off bis hat in a dreamy way and they walked home in silence. The children ran joj'ously to meet them. The yard was so fresh and green, and the flowers so many and bright that he wondered he had never thanked Iscttie tor thorn all. Hitherto he had looked upon them ?s hisf.but now ho felt 'iliat his interest hid.hem wrionly a fa"-- dollars, that vou hi not. have amounted to :u;y thih without his wife', cer-s;. 1 1 is ehlTdreu. .were lidy aad sweet, and everything around and in the house had that cherry look that rested him so after the hard, dull day at the mill. They sat again at the table, which had been a source of comfort and pleasure to him for so many .years, and he wondered how he could have enjoyed it so long without ever thanking the woman who had provided it. True, she had used his money in bringing it all about, but how else couid his money be of use to him ? Who else could have turned it into just what he needed day after day for years ? And he began to have an undefined feeling that it took more than money to make a home. He glanced at" his wue s lace as he buttered 'his last slice of bread. ib was not mat 01 tne tair, rosy uruie whom he had brought to the -n , a nuns years omore, out at tnat mo ment he realized that it was far more dearer to him, for he knew that she had given the bloom and freshness of her youth to make his home what it was. His daughters had her rose leaf cheeks, his sons her youthful vivacity, ail had her cheerful, win some ways, and comforted him now as she had in those days when, hardly knowing what care meant, she had lived for him alone. And a new thought came to him, "Who was comforting her now when she had so much care? Was not that what he promised to do when he brought her from her old home ?" He sighed as he thought how far he drifted from her while in bondage equal to CufTee's. Nay, he felt that her chains were far more binding than amy which had ever held the negro, and that his obligations to her were so much the greater. Something called the children cut of doors, and Mr. Jarvis took his easy-chair. His wife came and ou oesi' ie nun, "l tear you are k-- ' Oonaid ; are 3-011 displeased not w'el;.- - with rucf . , , , . .s and He df-evr her into ms tu.-. -1 told her how" her words had shov?e him what manner of marl he w?sgind there were words spoken that need ie written, but from that day forth a different man was proprietor of the Jurvi3 mill, and thevs was a brighter light in Mrs. Jarvis's eyes, forat least she had something of her own, nor has she regretted that she "applied for wages. GO TO THE PAIRS. The term "fair" may not always be the most appropriate one for the autumn shows. Exhibition is a bet ter word, but far less frequently used. Not only should the farmer 0-0 to the fair, but he ought to take has family with him. The going simply, is not enough. All mem bers of the household should maKC it a point to take something to ex hioit. Otic of the boys may take t fine coit, and if it is his own, there will be ail the more pride in obtain ing a prize. Another son may have a yoke of steers that he has trained for the exhibition. As for girls, there are a thousand different things that enn be made with the needle Mint, will croM t!i walls of the "Wornau's Paviilion" or the rooms of the household department. Even so common a thing as bread may be baked with especial care, and will attract much attention. Then there are the garden vegetables, potatoes a new kind, perhaps pumpkins squashes, etc., and the products of the farm and orchard. It is not wise to leave all these things at home, and then criticise the exhibition be cause you can say "We have better things at home."" To go and take things to the fair is not enough. The ' exhibition should become a school at which" all exhibitors and visitors make a study of the imple ments, cattle, poultry, fruit, grain, etc., that are tiiere. A farmer may owe his success in growing .some crop to the knowledge gained at a fair. The farmer tiiat has a real pride in the farm will take groat interest in the local fair, and wui exiurut the host products 01 iixim life in the boys and girls, who are interested exhibitors at the fair. The day at the fair should be a social one, eveiyone making it a point to meet many neighbors and others with a pleasant word. It is a place for asking and answering, questions, and the person who goes through the exposition without opening his mouth is certainly not getting all tire good that is within his reach. It is our advice that all go to the fair all take something to .how. and all find out as .much as possible about all the various ex hibits that are made by others- In this way the day at the fair will be a most profitable one.

What the boys have got hold 01 now : '-A shutter fell off a house to day, and failing on the tongue of a wagon, knocked it speechless. A jury was impanelled and the case tried, anu a veruico rendered oiiat inc shutter must be hung." "Well, what in the world did they hang the shutter fori'" anxiously asked the listener. ''Oh. just for a blind," re plies the narrator of this nice little joke as he jumps out of the way of a stuffed chair.

SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED LIVER. Bad Breath; Pain in the Side, sometimes the pain is felt under the Shoulder-blade, mistaken for Rheumatism ; general loss of appetite; Bowels generally costive, sometimes alternating with lax; the head is troubled with pain, is dull and heavy, with considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painfulsensation of leaving undone something which ought to have been done; a slight, dry cough and flushed face is sometimes an attendant, often mistaken for consumption; the patient complains of weariness and debility; nervous, easily startled; feet cold or burning, sometimes a prickly sensation of the skin exists; spirits are low-and despondent, and, although satisfied that exercise would be bene ficial, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude to try it in fact, distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred when but few of them existed, yet examination after death has shown the Liver to have been extensively deranged. It should be used by aU persons, old and youug, whenever any of the above symptoms appear. Persons TraveUns ng or levins: in TTn- healthy Localities. s, Dy taking a dose occasion- ally to keep the Liver in healthy action, will avoid an maiana, xsiiious attacks, Dizziness, Nau sea, Drowsiness, Depression of Spirits, etc. It will invigorate like a glass of wine, but is no in toxicating beverage. If Tou have eaten anything hard of digestion, or feel heavy after meals, or sleep less at night, take a dose and you will be relieved. Time and Doctors Bills will be saved by always keeping the Regulator in the House ! For, whatever the ailment may be, a thoroughly safe purgative, alterative and tonic can never be out of place. The remedy is harmless and docs not interfere with business or pleasure. IT IS PURELY VEGETABIE, And has all the power and efficacy of Calomel or Quinine, without any of the injurious after effects. A Governor's Testimony. Simmons Liver Regulator has been in use in my family for some time, and I am satisfied it is a valuable addition to the medical science. J. Gill Shorter, Governor of Ala. Hon. Alexander II. Stephens, of Ga., says: Have derived some benefit from the use of Simmons Liver Regulator, and wish to give it a further trial. "The only Thing that never fails to Relieve." I have used many remedies for Dys pepsia, Liver Affection and Debility, but never have found anything to benefit me to the extent Simmons Liver Regulator has. I sent from Min nesota to Georgia for it, and would send further for such a medicine, and would advise all who are sim ilarly affected to give it a trial as it seems the only thing that never fails to relieve. P. M. Janney, Minneapolis, Minn. l?r. T. W. Mason says : From actual ex perience in the use of Simmons Liver Regulator in my practice I have been and am satisfied to use and prescribe it as a purgative medicine.
