TELL YOUR WIFE.
“ Tell my wife 1'“ said Aaron Little, speck~
lug aloud, yet to himself, in 11 ball! amused,
half troubled way “ Tell my wife, indeed '.
Much good that will do! “’11“ does shc
know about business and money matters
and tricksuf mule? No: there's no hope
there."
And Aaron Little sat musing with a per-
plcxed countenance. He held a newspaper
in his hand, and his eyes had just been liu<
geriug over 11 paragraph in which the writer
suggested lo business mcn in trouble 1ch
propriety of consulting their wives,
" Talk to them freely about your affairs,"
it said. “ Let them understand exactly
your condition. Tell them of your difficul-
ties, your cmbamgments, and your plans
for cxlricnting yourselves from the entangle-
ments in which you are involved. My word
for it, you will get help for it in nine cases
out of ten. Women have quick perceptions.
They reach conclusions by a nearer way
than reasoning, and get the result of a diffi-
cult question long before your slow-moving
thoughts bring you near enough for accu-
rate observation. Tell your wives, lhcn,
men in trouble, all about your affairs. Keep
nothing back. The better they understand
the matter. the better will be their percep-
lions‘
“ A \cry flue theory," said Aaron Little,
t0§ing ”10 paper from him and leaning
back in his chair: “but it won‘t do in my
case. Tell Betsey! Yes, I‘d like to scemy-
self doing it. A man must be hard pushed,
indeed, when he goes home to consult his
wife on business affairs."
And so Aaron Little dismissed the sub-
He was in considerable doubt and
pcrplcxity of mind. Things had not gone
well with him for :1 year past. Dull busi-
ness and bad debts had placed his affairs
in rather an unpromising condition. He
could not see his way clear for the future.
Taking trade as it had been for the past six
months. he could not imagine how, with the
resources at his command, his payments
were to be made.
“I must gct— more capital," he said to
himself, “that‘s plain. And with more
capital must come in a partner. I don’t
like partnerships. It in very dificult for
two men to work together harmoniously.
Then you may get etutnngled with a rogue.
It s a rtky business; but I see no other way
to gct out of this trouble. My own capital
is too light for the business I am doing;
and, as a measure of safety, more must be
brought in. Lawrence is anxious to join
me, and he says he can command You thous—
nnd dollsrs. I do not like him in all re-
spools-11c is too fond of pleasure. But I
want his money more than his aid' in busi-
ness. He might remain a silent partner if
he chose. I'll call and see him this very
night, and we will tslk the matter over. If
bacon bring in ten mama dollars, I think
tlm will settle thé mode? at once.”

Mr. Little permitted :his wife to draw ofl‘

“ One week from ll1:1t day the red flag was
hung out. “’lieu the auctioneer made up
his m counts, he had in hand a little over
three thousand (lollms, for which a, check
was filled out to the order of Aaron Little.
it came into his hand just at the right
moment, and made him feel, to use his
own words, “as cosy as an old shoe." One
Week later, Mrs. Llulc took the place of Mr.
llobson, as chief manager and cash receiver
in her husband' s warehouse There were
signs of rcbelhon among the clerks and shop
girls at the beginning; but Mrs. Little bad a
quick, steady cy,c and a self- reliant manner,
that caused her presence to be felt,and make
everything subservient to her will. It was
21 remarkable fact that at the close of the
first w cck of her administration of affairs
1ch cash receipts were over one hundred
dollars in excess of any week within the
previous three months.
“ Have we done more work than usual
this welA k. V" she asked one after another,
and the uniform answer was, “ No. "
Then thought the lady to herself, there
has been foul play here No wonder my
husband was in trouble.
At the end of the next week the sales
came up to the same average, and at the end
of the third week, were one hundred and
sixtv dollars better than before Mrs. Little
undertook to manage the retail department.
Aaron Little could never determine, but he
was not in doubt {as to one thing. and that
was the easy condition of the money market
after the lapse of half a year.
For four or five months previous to Mrs.
Little’s administration of ufl'airs, he was on
the shoot nearly half the time, during busi-
nesshcurs, engaged in the Work of raising
money; now his regular receipts had got in
advanced his minerals, so that his balance
on the morning of— each day was usually in
exon- of thc notes lifted. Of course he
could glue more citation to business; and

The Sister’s Strutsgcm.
“ You are a most unhappy man, I must
say, Mr. Sta-other!
“ I’ve got good cause. You‘ve enough to
try the patienceof noulut.”
“ As if you were a saint! A pretty saint
younre, with a. temper worse than—well,
the worst I ever saw or heard of!”
“And a wife worse than Xantippe.”
“I shall loose my. patience very soon.
The ideal)! mybeiug u mold! I wish I was
one, 111-. Similar, you’d get your just des-
erts; I'd make yOur life a burden to you.
“ You needn‘t wish yourself any worse
than you are new, madam, to accomplfx
that.”
“ Call me pet. names; I‘m used to it."
“ I won‘t live with you another day. I'll
leave you and go back to mother’s you in-
sulting wretch, “before I’m a day older.”
“ Now you begin to talk sensibly, Maria,
I really wish you would. '"
Mrs. Strotbcr went into the usual hyster-
ics, under cover of which her husband beat
:1 precipitated retreat. They had been
married only two years, and quarrelled con-
tiuually.
Mrs. Slrotbcr's sistcr was visiting them at
that particular time, and she heard the fore-
going conversation. After Mr. Strotller had
gone, she quietly tasked her sister if such
scenes were of frequent occurrence.
“ Every day—almost,” subbed Mrs. Stro—
thcr, rubbing me camphor into her eyes
with startling effect.
“ W’bo begins if. f"
“ W'by, Mr. Strollier, of course! I am not
quarrelsome l.“ excluimvd Mrs. Slrolhcr in-
dignnntly.
“ No. I perceive not. W'cll, 1 sec your
husband is a perfect brute. I wouldn’t
live with such a man for the universe."
"1 suppose you think your husband a
paragon Y" snapped Mrs. Strolher spiteful-
“Ob, no; but then he never quarrels with
me.“ And Mrs. Slrothcr‘s sister smiled mn-
liciuusly. -
“ He must be 11 good tempered man then,
if he never quarrels with you," she said,
with s scornful curl of the lip.
“ He is: for which 1 thank the Fates.“
Mrs. Malcolm—that was the name of Mrs.
Strotbcr‘s sister—turned a way her laced to
conceals laugh. She saw the quarrels be-
tween Mr. Slrolber and his wife were only
surface troubles—the deep current of their
love w as, as yet. unchanged. She perceiv ed
this from her sister’s acidity \\ hen she had
offered to join \\ ith her in Mr. Strolller’ s
condemnation. But she also saw that the
every day “ unpleasantuess, " if not met
with prompt and vigorous remedies, would
ultimately cud in mutual cstmngémcnf.
One thing was certain—blame was not on
one side alone; therefore the remedies must
be divided.
“ Moria," she suddenly said, “I wish you‘
would come and pay me a visit both you
and your husband. I told Mr. Malcolm be-
fore, that I was going to bring you home
with me; and if you don't. go I promise you
I won‘t come to see you in a hurry.
“ I don‘t know; but I‘ll go if Mr. Stro—
tller will,” she finally said.
Down sat Mrs. Malcolm, and wrote along
letter to her husband, which she sealed very
privately, and sent. to the postofllce by a boy
whom she gave a shilling to carry it.
In due season, Mr. Simmer returned from
his business, and accepted the invitation.
And accordingly, when Mrs. Malcolm’s visit
was ended, they accompanied her to her
home.
Mr. Malcolm met the parly at the station.
He greeted his brother and sister-in-lnw
quite kindly, but when he turned to his wife
he looked as savage as need be.
“So you’re home at last are you P" be
growled.“ You' we been guddlng about half
the time since our marriage, and now for
the sake of getting rid of you, your brother
and sister have brought you home.”
Mrs Malcolm glanced hastily at her sister
and her sister's husband, before she replied.
Their faces were red as fire, tndthey looked
much diam st. this “ family jar."
“ You needn't say anything," she turtly
responded. “ W110 was it' that went ofl‘ m
the Lakes last summer, and was gone a
month, I would like to enquire ?l'
“ I did—lo escape the constant din you
made about Brighton."
“ I didn‘t"
“ You did. "
“ You are not. speaking the truth, Mr.
Malcolm and you know it I wish you
would remember what. 1111.prde Armani-
as l“ '
“ And I wish you’d remember Sapphim.”
All the way from the station to Mr. Mal-
‘colm a residence, conversation was lively' 1n
the' style related above or course it made
their visitors feel miserable.
Next morning it was no better. The cof—
fee and muffins wens not as lhey should be,
and the quarrel ended m hysteria, and slam-
ming the doors: At noon “Mrs. Malcolm us-

“this seat is taken, air," but I found one
"that was not taken, air,“ and watched him
to see how many times he would reproduce
the falsehood. m coach was rather full,
and would you believe it, that hoe told fix-
teen separate and distinct lies in order to
gratify his mean selfishness. Enough to
sink a healthier soul to perdllion. He vor-
ied the formula; one time it was s wuvuaf

back soon. Another time to, the inquiry of
a mild-mannered and timid questioner, he
replied by a stolid studs, and then, spread
himself a little wider, be resumed the perm
gal of his newspaper. I was tempted to
crawl up behind him and h- in bi cur,
“you are an awful liar." But I had my re-
venge. A big, red-faced, two-hundred
pounder, in a dirty linen coat, came in st 3
way station. He was sweaty to a fearful de-
gree. His feet smelt like vulcrinnate of our
mania and rotten fish, and his breath smelt
like a hot stinking sirriwo, based on bad
whiskey and onions. This fiery and fragrant
bcucmcth preferred to settle hunsel' f in the
seat that was taken. “This sent is,"—be-
gun the bog. “Well, I guess I’ll take it till
the other fellow comes,” returned the sweet
smelling heavy weight, and down he plump-
ed, partially crushing the hon in his descent.
The latter frowned and began to bluster,but
the red-faced millan coon took that out of
him with a threat to swallow him whole—-
to chow him up and spit him out—to pitch
him out of the window—to go through him
like a doae of salts, and to make various oth-
er dispositions of him in case he did‘nt alm-
mer down. Our porcine friend simmered
and then the barbarian grew good humorcd.
He told funny anecdotal, and poked the hog
in the ribs. Hd mated to knowsvhere he
came from and where he was going. He
spat quarts of tobacco juice our-on him out
of the window, sputtering his shirt front, be
tween his boots, and all around. He ofl'ered
him a “chaw” every time he took out his
plug of navy. The hog perspircd freely,
and ahivercd with disgust. Finally he
crawled out and stoodup for forty miles, nu.
til another sent was vacated.

An Umunguble Echo.
Up in Lehigh Valley there is a hotel keep-
er who bus a mountain about a qusrter of I.
mile from his house, and it occurred to him
thatit would be agood ideh if he couldflx

heard from the mountains by persons who

the phenomenon might. attract visitor-II. Bo
