TIIE TIN SAVINGS BANK.

Charles Lynford was a young mechanic in good business in one of the cities of the American States. At the age of twenty-six he had taken to himself as a wife Caroline Eustis. the daughter of a neighbor, who had nothing to bring him except her own personal merits, which were many, and habits of thrift learned in an economical household under the stern teaching of necessity.

It was well. perhaps, that Charles Lynfcrd should obtain a wife of this character, since he himself found it very difficult to save anything from his in- come.

It was not long before Caroline became acquaint- ed Willi her husband's failing. She could not feel quite easy in the knowledge that they were living fully up to their income. foreseeing that a time would come when their family would grow more expensive. end perhaps her husband's business, now flourishing. might become less so.

Accordingly, one day site purchased of a tin ped- lar who came to the door a little tin safe. such as children frequently use as a savings bank. This she placed conspicuously on tho mantle-piece, so that her husband might be sure to sce it on enter- tug.

‘ Hello, Carrie, what's that?’ he asked. curious-

y.

Only a little purchase I made to-day.’ said the m s.

‘ But what is it meant for ?' he asked again.

‘ Let me illustrate.’ said his wife. playfully.-. ‘ Have on a ten cent piece about you ?’

Cher es drew a dime from his waistcoat pocket. His wife. taking it from his head. dropped it into the box through a little slit at the top.

Charles laughed.

‘ So you have taken to hoarding. Carrie; my little wile becomes a miseri'

‘ No. only a little prudent. But seriously. Cher- les. that is what I want you to do every night.‘

‘ What—drop a dime into this usw-laugled er- rangemeat of yours.’

' Exectly.’

‘ Very well. that will be easy enough. A dime is no great tum. But may I know what you are going to do with this newly-commenced hoard ?’

‘ Lay it by for a rainy day,’ said Caroline.

Charles laughed merrily.

‘And what will a dime amount to 1' he enquired.

‘da a year it will amount to.’ commenced his wife. seriously.-— ..

'01:. never mind, spare me the calculation. It sounds too much like business. and I have enough of that during the day.’

‘ But you don’t object to my plan 1’

' Net in the least. I have no doubt it is very prudent and commendable; but you know, Carrie.

never was gifted with much prudence.’

‘ I am quite aware of that.’ said his wife, smiling.

This ended the conversation for the time.

The plan inaugurated by the young wife was steadily carried out. She was not one at those (of whom there are so many) who enter a on snow plea seelously. but soon tire of it. In t e present case she was thoroughly setislsd of ihe wisdom oi her purpose. and resolved to carry it through. Every morning she called upon her husband for a dime. which was forthwith added to the accumula- tion. Frequently he had not the exact change. but would tees her a quarter instead. 811s would assure

him laughineg that this would answer her purpose quite as well. -

More than once Charles would banter her on her little savings bank. but this she bore geily. But these were not the only accessions the funds re- ceived. Her husband had early arranged to make her an ample allowance ‘for dress—I say ample. though I dare say some of my city readers might no: have considered it so; but Caroline. who was in the habit of tasking up her own dresses. provid- ed herself with a good wardrobe at a much less ex- pense than some not so well versed in the science of managing could have done.

After considerable calculation. she came to the conclusion that out of her allowance she should be able to make a daily deposit equal to that which she exacted of 'her husband. 01 this. however. she thought it best. on the whole. not to inform Charles, enjoying in anticipation the prospect of being able. at some future time, to surprise him with the unex- pccied amount of her savings.

At the close of every month the tin box was emptied. and the contents were transferred to a savings bank of more pretensions. where interest would be allowed. When the sums deposited here became large enough. Mrs. Lyoford. who bed can- siderebie business capacity. withdrew them and in- vested in bank and other stocks which would yield a larger percentage. Of her mode of manage- ment. her husband remained in complete ignorance. Nor did he ever express any desire to be made so. quainted with his wife’s mauegemeut. lie was an easy. careless fellow. spending as he went, enjoying the present, and not feeling any particular concern about the future.

At the end of eight years, during which he had been unusually favored by prosperity in business and uninterrupted health. his books showed that he had not exceeded his income. but. on the other hand. he had saved absolutely nothing. Twenty- five cents alone stood to his credit.

‘ Running pretty close. isn't it Carrier’seid he. laughiugly. ‘ I take credit to myself for running on the right side of the line. But then, I suppose, you have saved up an immense eum.'

‘ Ilow much do you think?’ asked his wife.

'01:! perhaps a hundred dollars.’ said Charles Lynlord. carelessly ° ‘though it would take a good many dimes to do that.’

His wife smiled. but did not volunteer to enlighten him as to the correctness of his conjecture.

So things went on till at length came the panic of 1857—e panic so recent that it will be remembered by all the readers of this sketch. It will be remem- bered bow universally trade and business of every kind were depressed at that period—among others the trade which occupied Charles Lynford sullered.

One evening he came home looking quite serious -—an expression which seldom came over his cheer- ful lace.

Caroline, who had watched the signs of the times. was not, unreported to see this. She had expected that her ushaud’s business would be at- fectcd.

f ‘ What is the matter, Charles?’ she asked cheer- ully.

‘ The matter is, that we shall have to economize greetiy.’

‘ Anything unfavorable turned up in business mailers.’

‘I should think there had. I shall have but half e-day's work for some time to come. and I am afraid that even this will fail before long. You haven't an idea. Carrie, how dull business of every kind has become.’

‘1 think I have,’ said his wife. quietly, ‘I have read the papers catcfully. and have been looking out for something of this kind.’

‘ Do you think we can reduce our expenses one- hslf ?' asked her husband. doubtfuily.

‘ I think we shall be able to do so. Both of us are .

well supplied with clothing. and shall not need any more for a year, at least. That will cut oil consid- erable expense; then there are a great many little superfluities you are accustomed to buy—little things you are kind enough to bring home to me frequently. which 1 can do very well without. Then we can live more plainly—have less piss and cake, and I have no doubt it will be an improvement so far as health is concerned.’

‘ What a calculator you are, Carrie.’ said her husband, feclin; considerably easier in his mind. ' I really think. after all you have said, ihetit won't be so hard to iiVe on half our usual income—for the present. at least. ‘ But.’ and his countenance again changed. " suppose my work should entirely fail—I

suppose you couldn’t reduce our expenses to one- 1"

half. could you ?' -

‘ That certainly surpasses my powers.’ said his wife. smiling; 'but even in that case those is no ground for discouragement. You have not forgot- ieu our savings bank. have you.‘

‘ Why no. I did’nt think of that.’ said her hus- bsad. ' I suppose that would keep of! starvation for a few weeks.’

His wife smiled.

' And in these few weeks,’ she added, ‘ business might revive.’ .

‘ To be sure,’ said her husband. ‘ Well, I guess it’ll be all right—I'll try not to trouble myself about it any longer.’

The apprehensions to which Charles Lynford had given expression proved only to be too well founded. In less than a month from the date of the conver- sation just recorded. the limited supply of work which he had been able to secure, entirely failed. and he found himseli without work of any kind,-—thrown back upon his own resources.

Although he had anticipated this, it seemed an- expected when it actually came upon him, and he returned home in a fit of discouragement. IIe briefly explained to his wife the new calamity which had come upon him.

‘ And the worst of it is.’ he added, ‘there is no hope of better times till spring.’ '

' Doyou thick business will revive then ?' asked his wife.

‘ It must by that time; but there are live or six months between. I don't know how we are to live during that time.’

t I do.’ said his wife. quietly.

‘ You.’ exclaimed the husband. in surprise.

‘Yes; your income has never been more than six or seven hundred dollars a year, and I have no doubt we can live six months for two hundred and fifty dollars.’

' Yes. certainly ; but where is that money to come from? 1 don’t west to run in debt; and if 1 did, I should not know where to borrow!

‘ Fortunately. there is no need of it.’ said Mrs. Lynford. ‘ You seem to forget your little savings bank.'

'But is it possible it cen emountio two hundred and ti'ty dollars ?' exclaimed Charles in surprise.

‘ Yes. and six hundred more.’ said his wile.

‘ Impossible ?'

‘ Wait a minute and I will prove it.‘

Caroline withdrew for a moment. and then reap- peared.with several certificates of bank and railroad shares. amounting to eight hundred dollars. and a bank-book in which the balance was deposited to her credit.

‘Are you quite sure you haven't had a legacy? demanded Charles. in amazement. Surely a dime a day has not produced this.’
