From ihe Massachusetts Jninnnt.
Hints to People of Moderate Fortune .—The pre
vailing evil of the present day, is extravagance. 1 know
Very well that the old are too prone to preach about mod
ern degeneracy, whether they have cause or not ; but
laugh as we may at the sage advice of our fathers, it
is too plain, that our prosent expensive habits are pro
ductive of,much domestic unhappiness, and injurions
to public prosperity. However it is not to the rich I
would speak. They have an undoubted right to spend
their thousands as they please ; and if they spend
them ridiculously, it is consoling to reflect that they
must, in some way or other, benefit the poojer clas
ses. People of moderate fortunes, have likewise an
unquestioned right to dispose of their hundreds as they
please ; but I would ask, is it wise to risk your happi
ness in a foolish attempt to keep up with the opulent ?
Of what use is the effort which takes up so much of
your time, and all of your income ? Nay, if any un
expected change in affairs, should deprive you of a
few yearly hundreds, yog will find your expènses have
exceeded your income—thus the foundation of an accu
mulating debt will be laid, and your family Will have
formed habits but poorly calculated to save you from
the threatened ruin. Not one valuable friend will be
gained by living beyond your means, and old age will
be left to comparative if not to utter poverty.
There is nothing in which the extravagance of the
present day strikes me so forcibly, as the manner in
which our young people of moderate fortune furnish
their houses.
A few weeks since, I called upon a farmer's daugh
ter, who had lately married a young physician of mod
erate talents and destitute of fortune. Hecfather had
given her at her marriage, all he ever expected to give
her, viz. two thousand dollars. Yet the lower part of
her house was furnished with as much splendor as wc
usually find among the wealthiest. The whole two
thousand had been expended upon Brussels carpets,
Alabaster vases, Mahogany chairs, and Marble tables,
i afterwards learned that the more useful household
utensils had been forgotten : and that a few weeks
after her wedding, she was actually obliged to apply
to her husband for money to purchase baskets, iron
spoons, clothes lines, &.C. and her husband more ir
ritable by the want Of money, pettishly demanded,
why she had bought so many things they did not
Did the Doctor gain any patients, or she,
6 single friend, by offering their visiters, water in
richly cut glass tumblers, or serving them with costly
damask napkins, instead of plain soft towels? No,
their foolish vanity made them less happy, and no more
respectable.
Had the young lady been content with Kiddermins
ter carpets and tasteful vases of her own making, she
might have put one thousand dollars at interest at six
per cent. It would have clothed her as well as the
wife of any man, who depends merely upon his own
industry, ought to be clothed. This would have sav
ed much domestic disquiet ; for after all, human na
ture is human nature, and a wife is never better belov
ed, because she teax.es for money.
