Sybil’s Economy
Drifting—drifting away into the qniet
land of dreams—half uncertain whether
ho wan awake or aaleep, with a pleasant
semi-consciousness, the while, of the
elear fire then glimmering on the wall,
and the gray kitten purring a drowsy
monody on the heavtli-rug, Grant Ray
mond liad a very narrow escape from a
sound nap, when hia wife came in, with
Ilutteriag dress, and light, elastic foul-
fall.
“Grant I"
“Well, Sybil 1” He was wide awake
in a moment, and ready to take oath
that he hadn't had the least idea of going
to sleep.
“What is it, little busybody?” he
asked, lazily stretching out his band to
play with the blue ribbon at her watoli
as she camo toward him.
“Can yow spare me five dollars to
night?”
“Of course I con—what is it for?” lie
said, leisurely opening his purse and
tossing the bit of cinmpled paper to his
wife.
“The grocer’s bill--he will be here
eivrly to morrow morning—thank yon,
dear!”
Mrs. Raymond sat down on a little
velvet c> luket, close to the so&t, when
sho had deposited tho money in hei
brown leather purse, so that tho firelight
played genially on her delicate oval faco
with its shadowy masses of durk hair,
and largo, violet-gray eyes.
“Well, Pussy, wliat are you thinking
about?" questioned her husband, after
a few moments of unbroken Bilenoe.
Mrs. Raymond looked up smilingly.
“To tell you the truth, Grunt, I was
wishing that instead of coming to yon
for everything 1 want I had a regular
allowance of my own !”
“ ‘A regular allowance of your own?'
Really, that is very complimentary to
to my generosity 1”
“I knew you would laugh at me,Grant
—yeti do wish it very much indeed.”
“And pray why ? Don’t I give you
everything you ask for?’’
“I know you do, my love; yet I should
somehow feel richer, more independent,
if I had my own resources—if you would
allow me just such an amount every
month.”
“How much would satisfy you, my
little miser ?”
“Well, I think I could get along with
fifty dollars a month.”
‘ ‘Do you happen to know that I have
handed over to you just one-third more
than tho sum you specify during tho past
four weeks ? It strikes me you would
not be much of a gainer, pecuniarily
speaking, by this new system of
finance*.”
“But I believe I should, Grant, for it
would teach mo to calculate and econo
mize, and to —”
•‘And, iu short, you want to try the
experiment.”
“That’s just It,” said Sybil Raymond,
coaxingly.
“My dear, this is all nonsense. Be
lieve mo, I understand the care of
money better than you.”
“Then yon are not going to indulge
mo?”
There was such a plaintive accent ii,
Mrs. Raymond’s voice that her husbani:
chocked himself in the midst of a tre
mendous yawn, to look full into the
grieved little face.
“My child,” he said laughingly, “I
have never yet refused you anything you
chose to ask; and it isn’t likely I shall
begin to assert my independence at this
late hour, Take your fifty dollars a
month—take what you please; but I’m
a considerably mistaken man if you don’t
come to me teasing tor 'just a little more
money,’ before the four weeks have ex
pired.”
“Now you shall see !” said the de
lighted little wife. “What shall I ren
der in payment of your doci'ity, Mr
j Prophet?"
1 “A kiss- aud now be ofif about you
bittiness, and let me fiuiuh my nap I"
How often, Jnring the next twelve
months. Grant Raymond rallied his wife
within an inch of tho “crying degree”
about her finaiW-ml schemes—how often
he alluded, misehievously, to tho prob-
ably exhausted atato of'her purse, ami
his entire williuguoes to hand over any
amount of mou\^ the moment sho would
confess Herself jo be wrong, aud him to
be right, until 4>e was nearly tempted
to abandon her cause iu despair. But
she persevered so bravely that after a
while Grant du&trod that he believed
his little wife 6t,ald get along with a
smaller sum than he had previously hod
any idea of I
“But I know you are denying your
self scores ol femiuiue fol-de-rols—say
tho word, aud t*c'll call it seventy-five
dollars a mouth, instead of fifty !"
“No, indeed,' quotli Sybil, decisively.
"Didn’t I ti ll y>u that fifty should be
enough. And t is I"
Nearly five yarn had passed away. It
was a stormy Light in March, the clouds
flying before a ztrong gale, aud the air
chill and raw VIth occasional gusts ol
allow. Mrs. Raymond sat iu her oheer-
fnl purlor, stil«!,ing away at a little mus
lin apron for lui? sloebiug baby, aud sing
ing some half-f. rgotten melody to hcr-
*elf as ahe woruod.
" I wonder vLat makes Grant so late,”
she murmured, Va a stronger blast than
usual shook IIjA windows and roared
down the cliimo#y. “ I hope it isn’t nuy
difficulty in hi* business matters. Hu
has looked very grave lately.”
The words b«d soaroely passed through
her miud, when the door opened, aud
Mr. Raymond entered. He did not
apeak to hie wiIf, as usual.
“Grant I are you Ul, dearest? What
(s the matter?"
lie mode no reply. She rose and
came to his side, reiterating her inquiries.
“Ask me no Questions,Sybil,” he said,
it length, in a kme to strangely altered
that she started at its sound. "You
will learn evil tilings soon enough."
“Tell me, >py husband—are not my
joys yonrs — your sorrows mine?
Surely, we liav# not ceased to be one?”
“Sybil," he said, rising, “I did not
intend to cloud your happy brow with
my griefs; but it is too late-longer to
dissemble. t^had hoped, dearest to
•imride*this sUmi fif tnHiun»7wiHBh*,ift.
wrecked so many of our wealthiest mer
chants, iu its whirlpool of failuro. To
morrow, however, a heavy payment full*
due. 1 had relied on receiving debts
from a distant firm, which would fully
liquidate the umouut. Instead of the
money, tho Western mails to-day bring
me news of the failure of the firm on
which I hnd so wholly depended I”
“But can the amount be raised iu n<
other way ?”
“By borrowing here and there- In
straining my credit to the utmost, and
scraping together every cent ofavailabh
funds, I can rni*c the sum, all oxoo|
five hundred dollars. But it might as
well bo five millions. Unless the whole
amount is met, my note will be protested,
and I am a ruined, disgraced man. To
tbink that my whole future life should
be darkened for want of a miserable five
hundred dollars 1”
“Aud is that all yon lack ?”
“All ? But what is the use of dwell
ing farther upon it. I appreciate youi
sympathy, Sybil, but it ia vain."
He sank back on the sofa, clasping
his hands on his closed eyes.
He must have lain there motionless
for five or six minutes, when Sybil’s soft
hand was placed on his forehead,
“Dearest, look up a moment. Do
you remember our childhood's fable of
the lion who was released from the net
by the little mouse’s tiny endeavors ?”
“What of it?” ho asked, with a vogue
appreLension that Sybil’s wits had been
a little unsettled by the sudden news ol
their impending misfortune.
“Well, I am the little mouse—you the
snared lion. Here are five hundred and
twenty dollars. Take them, and may
they prove useful in your time of need.”
He sat suddenly upright, staring al
ternately at her and the roll of neatly
folded bills.
“But, Sybil, how—when—?”
“Dear Grant, I saved it from my al
lowance, a few dollars at a time. I
thought perhaps the moment might
come when it would be welcome. Be
lieve mo, my husband, it gives me ten
thousand fold more pleasure to place it
in your hands than to expend it iu
crown diamonds.”
“My darling wife!” faltered Grant
Raymond, “you have preserved me from
ruin. This crisis once passed, I can bid
defiance to misfortune 1”
And at that moment Sybil seemed to
him to wear the lovely guise of an angel
of rescue!
Later in the evening as she sat by his
side, her head resting on his knoe, sho
could not forbear whispering, with a
touch of loving mischief in her voloe:
“ Grant-.who wtta right about my
finanoial abilities, you or 1 ? ”

OLD-TIME DIVE It N.
Hew NiimmiI Mean |.aat III* |,|| # M
Watcrlaa BrMii,
In view of the recent tragio death of
Oaptaiu Webb, the following, published
in the I.ondon Telegraph, Jnno 10,
1879, may be of interest:—
“A more appalling leap than was taken
suooeaalully in 1829 by Sam Patch has
lately been moAo by a Canadian named
Harmon Peer, from one of the two sub-
(tension bridges whioli spans the gulf
into whioli tho Niagara falls. * * *
At tho same time it is imponsilile to
deuy that American divers have hereto
fore prepared us for tho possibility of
desoeuding with safety into tho water
from great heights, and there ore mauv
still living in this metropolis who can
remember the feat* performed iu 1841
by aa American swimmer named 8oott,
who woe in tho habit of diving from
Waterloo bridge into the Thames—e fall
of about 40 feet. Hoott had aociutomcd
himself to go through many fantastic
trieke before throwiug himself iuto the
river, aud for this purpose he hnd caused
a scaffolding to lie erected immediately
over the second arch of Waterloo bridge,
on .he Boosereet Home side.
“In order to tiiersass the sensations)
features of hie exhibition, Bcott was iu
the habit of tbnutiug bis neek into the
noose of the rope, snd suspeudiug him
self after ths msnner of s man who is
being hanged by the nook. On tho Utli
of January, 1841, he ascended the scaf
fold as usual, and Beising tba rope,
placed it around his nook, exclaiming at
the top ol his voloe, 'Now, I’ll show you
once more how to dance upon air beforu
f dive.’ With his bead iu the running
noose he let himself down to the ex
tremity of the repe, end hung there for
three or four minutes. Oue of the spec
tators, who was iutimate with the ex
hibitor, shouted out that his friend had
hanged himself in reality, and a loud
erv of 'Out him down' ascended from
the crowd. Homo moments elapsed be
fore a knife was forthcoming, aud when
tiw JUftM«a<iaV« mail wV *3>Rohe«Li M was
/mind that animation was suspon/fod.
“He was carried with all possible
speed to Charing Cross Hospital, ami,
although life was not entirely extinct,
the utmost efforts of tho surgeon iu at
tendance were unable to save him. Tho
jugular vein was opouod aud ho was
placed ia a warm bath, but before many
minutes had passed it was discovered
that he was dead. Hiuce that day Lon
doners have seen other divers throw
themselves safely from the bridgou of
our metro(iolituu river and off the mast
heads of vessels moored in tho stream,
Out no such leap as those taken by Bam
Patoli and Harmon Peer have ever been
attempted in this oouutry.”
A Noted Bank Mult.
The auditors iu the oolebrated ease of
the Dexter Havings Bank, Bangor, Me.,
against the estate of the late J. Wilson
Barron, the former cashier of the bank,
made their report to the Supreme Court.
Barron was found oue movning in the
vault of the bank, shot dead. The offi
cers of the bauk asserted that he had
committed suicide to cover up his pecu
lations, while his friends and the greater
part of the community believed that he
was murdered by robbers. The auditors
report states that the balanco due from
the Barron estate to the bauk is $2,011,
including interest, and concludes as
follows:
“We do not feal called upon to form
any opinion upon the question of murder
or suicide of Barron, because we are
satisfied from the evidence that there
was substantially no money in the bank
at the time of Barron’s death, and
whether Barron came to his death by
murder or otherwise, the amount of
money in bis possession in the bank at
that time was so inconsiderable as not
to materially affect the situation of the
parties litigant, or change the result of
our conclusions.”
The Bat,
A woman in Hong Kong, who bears
the nickname of “The Croat Rat,” was
arrested for kidnapping not long ago.
The Chinese populace, hearing that
“The Great Rat” was at last caught,
mistook the meaning of the phrase, and
thought that a veritable rat was meant.
Iu consequence the court and its en
trances were crowded with a large mul
titude of people eager to see the mon
strosity. When it was explained that a
woman was meant, they were incredu
lous, and the police had hard work to
disperse them.

CONTEMPT OF OOCBT.
In the days gone by a citizen of Detroit
who lias lately boon gathered to hi* fathers
was s .Tnstioo of the Pesos for one of the
townships of this comity. Oue day as
he sat iu hia office with uotliing to do a
friend camo along with a yonng horse.
The Hquar’ was somewhat oonoeited on
tho horse question, aud when informed
that tho equine iiefore him would let no
man ride him ho at once determined to
accomplish the feat. A erowd gathered,
a saddle woe brought, and his Honor
presently found himself astride of the
beast. Tbe next thing he knew he was
lying in a muddy ditch, and • dozen
men were laughiug to kill.
“I declare this court in session t”
jelled his Honor as he Struggled up.
At this VhercStM af fre*h‘ burst I of <
luughter, aud lie ooutiuued:
“Aud each and every oue of you is
fined $3 for contempt of court!"
They laughed harder than ever, but
the fines were recorded and collected;
and for years after it was understood

the Hquar’ was in bed slid asleep.—De

The Ohnirmnn of the Committee on
the Hick, of the Lime-Kiln Club, roported
that Brother Wholesale Baker, a local
member, was confined to his hous*
witli siokuoss, aud had oskod for relict.
The committee had paid him a visit of
inspection and had found his feet cold,
his eycH set back and liis mind wander

his wife ho had been taken with a ohill
while buying a squash for seven cents
at a grocery.
“ De committee needn't ludder ober

A disinfectant v.VrnoDrcED to the
medieal profession by the lute Dr. Gool-
den has been used in London eight
years. Half a drachm of nitrate of lead
should be dissolved iu one pint or more
of boiling water, and two drachms of
common salt jn a bucket of water. Four
the two solutions together, and let the
sediment suliside. A cloth dipped in
this and hung up in a room will sweeten
a fetid atmosphere instantly, or the so
lution thrown down a drain or over a
heap of rubbish will produce a like re
sult. Clothing worn by a patient with
iu factious disease, or bed linen, can be
put at once into Juis solution without
injury to the material, thus destroying
the risk of infection for those persons
who wash the clothing. Although it is
a strong poison taken internally, it does
not injure the skin. A room could be
scrubbed with the solution, aud would
be sweetened at once, by the process.
A collectou ot a gas company pre
sented a bill for payment the other day
and was met with the response: “Are
you sure this bill is right ? I must have
burned more gas than that.” The col
lector turned white with fear, and hast
ily making his way down stairs told a
pulicomau that a maniac was up iu tba
third story and something had bettor lie
