" ' rART FII$T." ; "Harry, I never before had to ask so many times for a necessary article. I do believe you !tre growing stingy. Come, look in my face, let me see if there are miser-lines on your cheoks. Do you know I had an uncle once who was a miser ? He was rich enough to buy all Philadel phia, they say ; I never saw him, and I'm sure none of his money ever came to me. It all went to benevolent societies, queer, wasn't it ? But I remember the descrip tion a younger cousin used to give of him, and she (said he had two deep, long lines on cither cheek, running from the root of thft nosa round to the chin. Sho told it in. such .a ludicrous manner that it always made me laugh, as it was a peculiarity, I called them miser-lines. Let me look at you ; no, your cheeks are smooth almost as my own ; there never will be a miser line there, I know. But hero are two, faint, vcrv faint wrinkles on this open brow. It looks ominous," continued the gay, young wife, laughingly shaking her head. "I wondor what it means : I think you apply yourself too steadily to busi- uoss. Youna Maitland hardly repliod to this gay speech of his beautiful wife, but turn ing listlessly from his paper, loaned his head upon his band. 'Charles." cried Annie, lauchins a lit tie. "that old undo, you know. Well, Vrl and Charlcv. they've both cot some thing to remember him by. Now don't go to sleep while I tell you, fix your bright evea ri"ht on mine and don't even wink. They kucw as cveryooay eiso aiu, i eup twwo. that uncle 'Siah was immensoly rich.' "You know," put in Harry, smiling a little. "There it is provoking that I cau t break lnvsclf of that foolish thine; I can't think when it becamo a habit ; but you know She paused, blushed, and with slightly petulant mauner that was quito becoming in bnr. cried. "I will conquer it," and ' proceeded to tell her story, which, by-thc- way, Harry iookcu ior quiw i.jipiu.uuuj "Well, one day uncle biah came trom Indiana to visit aunt Henry and the boys, Fred and Charlcv, tried in every way to please the old gentleman, partly on account of his ago, but 'most partly,' as littlo sis pays, on account of their pockets you there, I didn't say it, did I ? , Undo 'Siah seemed quite attracted by their quiet and self-denying habits, and the attciiti ; ,-4he rattle-brains showed him ; bo the day bc foro ho was to return home, ho said to them, 'boys, after dinner come in the li brary ; I want to give you something as you h&ve been such good little fellows Biuce I have been hero.' You may just imagine how red their cheeks grew, di rectly, and what visions of splendor float- cd Doiore mcir eyes. reu shvo uo mombcrs that he looked confidently for fifty dollars, though he modestly hinted to Charley it might be only ten, and on tho Btrength of their expectations, they both got trusted at a neighboring toy-shop to tho ainouut of a whole dollar." "Not tho only ones," muttered Harry, "who get trusted on the strength of their expectations.". ,"No, but don't sigh so dolefully, dear. Ono o'clock came, though tho boys declar ed confidently it never would. : At two dinner was on the table, at three, despatch ed, and immediately after, Fred and Char loy, with hair combed smoothly, and dress ed in their holiday suits, crcpt into tho Btudy with checks as red as peonies. ' Tb old man was there; Two very Btaall parcdfB luid on the tablo at his side; he beckoned them to be seated. 'Boys,' he said, solomnly, 'I am about to mako von a nrcsent of some money ; and I want you to use it discreetly. You are young, and do not yet know tho value of suoh a commodity, but do as 1 did, save your money: - What I giye to you now is tho same amount I began life with, and by f rudenco and energy 1 have become rich ; hopo you may do tho samo. Bo honest, boyB, be virtuous, cautious, and prudont ; never run in debt for tho smallest article, (the boys felt a little uucasy at that) be patient, bo temporatp, and you oannot fail to become rich. Now, boys, take these, reeoive my blessings ; go."' "And how much waa it, pray V askod Harry, lifting up his head, and looking qu.ite animated. " "Whv.it was a penny a pieoe," re tnmfld Anna, lauehinir. heartily. ' "And Fred declares that tho old man thought they were on their good behavior for the sake of the dimes, so took that method to rebuke them, for he says hd happoned to limit back before he cot out of tne room ',in.!. 'Siah' was lausrhin! away to u.kv- - CJ ' ' l,imiwlf.-.f Oh ! thov wore to angry.

And only think of the dollar I Many and many a pleasure they were forced to deny themselves to liquidate that debt;, but after all it proved a fortunate thing, for you know Fred and Charley have a great abhorrence to getting trusted, or trusting either, I believe," added An nie, lightly. "But, Harry," she exclaim ed, noticing her husband was preparing to go "that shawl I, you won t disappoint me, love, only a hundred and fifty dollars, and I do really need it. Come, no w, don' t sigh so, or I shall really think the miser- hncs are beginning to come. "1 11 try," the young man strove to speak lightly, but he could not, and ended as usual with a hearty sigh. FINDING THE JOURNAL. "I wonder what makes Harry so glum?' thought Annie, as she resumed her sew ing; "I'm sure everything is delightful here at home, and Harry seems to enjoy my society as keenly as ever. Heigh-ho ! some perplexing business matter, 1 sup pose. I'm glad I ain't a man, indeed I am. How the poor fellow did sigh ! and the day so beautiful, too; J can't work," sho added, nervously, throwing her em broidery into a graceful work-basket that tassclcd and corded about, sat at her side, and she arose, sauntered through her bcau tiful parlors and ouf into tho passage There in the broad light of the sun loung ed a rosy, checked cHambTjr-mald fast asleep. "What a lazy creature !" thought An nie, "really she doesn't have enough wprk to keep her out of mischief, though to be sure she can't do much mischief asleep, but I wish she had more work to do Passing the girl, Annie ran up stairs to her dressing-room, and for awhile amused herself by rearranging the beautiful dress cs in her wardrobo. Then sho paused half yawning before her mirror, languidly rolled her ringlets, wished Harry could stay all day with her, was sure she should never weary of his company, wondered when tho upholtcrcrs would como to meas ure the rooms for new carpets, and tho windows for new curtains ; hoped Harry wouldn't forget that absolutely indispen siblc shawl, and then began looking thro1 her drawers. A small beautifully gilt annual such she 'thought it--attraetcd her fanoy. She romembercd now she had found it in tho comer of the drawing-room launge, under one of the velvet pillows the ovoning be fore ; and bclicviug it to bo a book lout her by a friend, sho had carried it to her own room that it might not receive injury Mechanically seating herself she opened the puges and found a blank. Surprise roused her energy j she placed tho book on her knee and turned carefully to the first page to find the owner's name. In a wreath of daintily tinted flowers she read, "Harry F. Maitland's journal." "Why it's Harry's," Bhe exclaimed, in surprise ; "I did not know ho kept a jour nal," and turning the pages hurriedly, she paused at a passage whore her own name caught her attontion, and blushing, she road on. "20th. My beautiful Annie grows every day dearer to my heart, and my only grief ia that I cannot readily gratify hor every wish. Foolish, nay, criminal man that I was, that for fear of losing her, I dared allow her to indulge the dream that I was wealthy;: She, lovely, petted, rear ed in affluence, little thinks of my daily, nay, hourly struggles for her Bake, end I dare not tell her. For she seems a being so pure, bo unselfish, that were she as somo women, to display an unreasonable vanity, and taunt me beoause I eould not minister to her wants, I should be of all men the most miserable." "22nd. I am living beyond my income. To-day I am twoundred dollars in debt for extravagance, and heaven Knows i need every cent for business.. 1 i KVcBtcrday, bought Annio an opera cloakTTrud although sho. looked so beauti fully radiant, tot heart ached as I gazei upon her. - Yet Annio has been acoustom ed to such things, how can I dony hcrj But for these fashionable follies we might live well and owe nothing ; but I do not blame her for one moment ' It ia my own fault. ' lam justly punished for my pre sumption in wooing hcr. Hor fethur. t, I STEUBENVILLE, would sooner die than go to him for aid." "24th. I am getting deeply involved, I fear. Have borrowed five hundred of my cousin, must return it in three months. A bad beginning. And Annie must have her shawl ; if I told her all, perhaps she would be contented with those she has al ready j but I cannot gather tho courage. When I think of it, in her presence, I am a very coward. I must borrow still more and trust to fortune. How guilty and how cowardly I seem to myself! Oh! Annie, I wish I was more worthy of you, sweet wife for your sake would I bad a mine of gold!" For a moment Annie closed tho book. Tears filled her eyes, and her good, gener ous heart ached for her erring husband. "He shall see," she murmured, rising as she spoke, "that I am no vain, selfish crea- turo." Instantly throwing on her graceful bon net and a shawl, that, though not quite fashionable, was still very elegant, she set forward to the splendid store of M. Gerry, the popular upholsterer." "I am very .sorry," exclaimed tho po lite clerk, before Annie had a chance to speak, "that I could not send my men to day, but a counter order " "It is no matter,'' replied Annie, "I called to say that you need not take the trouble, and if tho damask is not cut- " "It shall bo directly ; you wished or ange and green, I believe." .."I hayej:han29.d my mind," replied Annie, assuming a careless manner, "I do not want the damask or the tapestry ! carpeting yet, when I do I can give you a call." "Certainly, certainly, madam, just as you please," and the gentlemanly clerk bowed her out. PART SECOND. LESSENING EXPENDITURE. Annie's next move was toward her fath er's house, in a beautiful avenue, yet green and blooming, though tho leaves were turning sere upon tho trees. Her mother sat alone employed in writing- "Why! how fortunate 1' she cried, "I was just about to send you a note, begging you to loan ine your set of agato for to morrow night." "What will you give mo for it, mother?' said Annie, laughingly. "Give you?. why! would you sell it? You must need money. Doesn't your hus band provide you " "With everything I wish, mother j but I want to give a great surprise, and and in fact it's to be a secret, so I'm perfectly willing to sell my beautiful agates j come, what'll you give me? Buy thorn, now I'm in the mood ; you know if I need such things I can get plenty inoro." "Well there are fivo hundred dollars at my disposal the set is fully worth a thousand, I suppose ; at least I know that is what your uncle gave for it but ho t dead, poor man, I'll givo you fivo hun dred now, and two at somo future timo, gay in a month." Annio's cheeks flushed with pleasure, and she left her father's houso with the bank-notes tightly folded up and deposited in the end of her purse.' 1 Harry canio homo later than usual, and hia wife pretended not to see as he went straight to the loungo and lifted tho pil low, looking carefully about. "I suppose the men came hero to meas ure the floors," said Harry, buttering his muffin with an air of abstraction that scorn ed totally foreign to appetite. ; ' "No," said Annio, sipping her tea, and trying her best to seem perfoctly uncon cerned, "I was looking at the carpets to day, and they do seem entirely t jo good to rip up and send to' auction. ' And then the curtains ; I've really got attaohed to them, I'm sure Gerry hasn't so pretty a pattern in his store; bo as a fit of econo my, or perversity, or call it what you will, came over mo, I determined to go over to Gerry's and tell him I had changod my mind." -" " i '- - ' "You did !'' exolaimed Harry,' looking up so bright and animated, that1 Annie felt doubly repaid for her saonficd. v And it was astonishing how suddenly the poor fellow revived ! how quickly the muffins disappeared I - Annie laughed quietly to hcrielf I indeed she enjoyed it thoroughly. OHIO; Wi)NESDAY;iSEEIiU2, 1855i; ; "You shall have the shawl to-morrow,' he said, in the course of the evening. "Thank you for nothing,' she replied, laughing, "I'm not going to be burdened with a shawl. The fringe is always catch ing in something, and my shoulders don't droop enough to carry one gracefully. I found that out to-day, all of a sudden. You know that beautiful satin you bought me last fall for a dress, well, I'm just go ing to have it made into a stylish cloak, it won't cost one-eighth the sura, and look much moro beautiful and becoming. Harry drew a long sigh, but it was a sigh of relief, and his wife knew it. Nev er seemed an evening to fly so rapidly. Harry was himself again, danced to his wife's music, chatted gaily as was his wont of old, and retired a happy, light-hearted man. He found his journal oddly enough in ono of hit coat pockets that same night. Tho next day at clinncr Annie said, "Don't you think, Harry, Mrs. Lynch has been here to get us to go to the new church. Several families have gone with a perfect ly good understanding existing between them and our pastor. Now I've been thinking our church is so dreadfully crowd ed, and we both admire Mr. Elder, the new preacher so much,' hadn't we better go there ? Besides there will be a differ ence of nearly forty dollars pew rent in a year.' narrv looked keenly at his wife, and she innocently returned the glance, so al though he wondered at the spirit of cal culation that' had como ovtrhla little wife, he never even dreamed of the cause "I'll go there certainly, my dear,' he replied. "It will encourago Mr. Elder, and show that wo do not attend church to indulgo in pride and ostentation, since it is a very plain meeting-house, and I pre sume the poorer pari of the congregation will branch off; but do you think how far it will be for you to walk in winter ?' "Never mind that replied Annie. A REMOVAL. Harry had begui steadily to retrieve his ill-fortune, only the debt of five hun dred dollars hung heavily upon his heart. He calculated to be able justly to meet his bills, the rent of hu expensive house and store, 'and next year,' thought he, 'I'll alone. How fortunate things have turned out so in accordance with my means and wishes. Annie is so thoughtful, hoav- en bless her, I never gave her credit for so much foresight. 1 She has saved me. "What! move into that barbarous soo- tion of tho city ! exclaimed Harry, tho snnrotlv del silted. "You'll loso all our fashionable friends.' j 0 "No, Harry, nono of our friends our acquaintances, moro calling automatons, may think it just ground of neglect, but T nm fired enough of them already. Let them go I have you.' "Bless you was the reply, with a look unutterable love, and again Annie felt repaid for all her sweet sacrifices. "I saw tho prettiest houso, to day, she continued, 'not near bo large as this, but large enough, tho dearest littlo houso, and perfectly gcnteol, in thorough repair, and twico as convenient. Besides, my chief reason for wishing to take it is, that we shall be so near the new churohj and you know since I have had charge of a class in the Sabbath school, the walk seems more fatiguing.' "But What will your parents say ?' "Nothing, .of course, since it is for my convenience, you know they are neither of them unreasonable.' "True 1 Annie, what a treasure I have in you I To tell you the truth, these great rooms do not look pleasant to me. They aro unsocial unless filled with company "And these elum stoves, added his . " wife, : tapping one with : her pretty foot. "thore is no cheerfulness about them. Now many of tho roomB there, are furnished with thoso dear, delightful,' old Franklin stoves, in which one can enjoy the blaze of a wood fire and there will be such lessening of our expenses that we can. af ford to keen one or two wood fires, Can't ''."Lessening expenses,? thought vllarrj io himself,.

Fur nished with taste and elegance, it was more brilliant and at tho name time more com fortable than tho last. To have seen An nie and her husband, the former busy with her needle, making nameless littlo articles, the table and lounge drawn up in front of be burnished fender and grate, polished fire-dogs, to seo how glowing Annie's beau tiful face was, and how radiant Harry's, as ho looked up sometimes from the vol ume ho was reading aloud, wou'd fully have satisfied the bitterest ascetic that by that hearth-stone happiness waa moro sa cred than fashion. . THE DEBT LIQTJIEATED. Nothing now troubled Harry but the debt of five hundred dollars. "I'll get an extension of time he thought, as tho day of payment drew near. "I am doing so well now, that two months will clear me. Thank God, and my jewel of a wife for that!' " Entering his office ho saw a sealed en clopo lying upon the desk. He took it up, opened it, out fell a receipt in full, du- signed. Harry took up the note ac- companying, with astonisnmcnt. it ran thus: "Dear Maitland I send per request your bill receipted, lhank you tor being so prompt in your business arrangements. T . 1 it. li .iL A- see you are tasmg me ngni paiu w suc cess, to wealth and tame, ii at any time you are pressed for money send to me. I will loan you any amount. lours, ii. Maitland." Still in deep astonishment Harry held his cousin's note. Every moment his won der grew. What unknown friend had he, thus anxiou3 to save his credit, thus able to do so. In a moment the thought flashed over his mind that Annie was nis unknown friend, his good guardian angel. "But low could she kuow? how could she a. i .1 At. .nr. Know f lie queried. ADscraeieaiy ne re turned home. He was silent from sus pense and an honorablo sense of shame. "What! clouds !' cried Annie, cheerily, "let me see, are the miser-lines growing ?' "Do you want a shawl?' asked Harry, oosing his thoughtful aspect. "No and Annie blushed and shook her "head, "but said she, "instead I'll take a journal.' "Mine, or a new one ?' asked Harry. "Yours, of course j I want to see what . 1 . X you'vo been doing since i gave up tuo shawl replied Annie, archly. She was instead folded to her husband s breast, while he showered kisses and bless ings upon her. "You have saved me, An nie he cried, "you have made a better, a more resolute man of mo. Henceforth, all my life, I will Btrive yet moro to bo worthy of you.' "How much happiness thero is m doing right thought Annie, "I have secured my husband's lasting love, and conquered myself. , "Having eyes but seeing not, Bhe mur mured, on tho next Sabbath. "Who would havo thought to find such a jewel in that poor, but intelligent widow, who always sat near the door in our splendid church, and never was noticed by the fash ionables.

There wag I, fretting because my choeks wero losing their bloom, but since I have dis pensed with extra servants, and underta ken the supervision of my own household, I am healthier and stronger, and the roses still lend their bright crimson to make me look beautiful in Harry's eyes. For Har ry's sake I would be ever beautiful.' Harry Maitland prospered beyond even his sanguine expectations.. He became immensely wealthy, and under God was tho means of benefitting his country, thro' his wisdom and liberal expenditure, be yond any man of equal fortune in Amor ioa. - 1 And to this day, when questioned, as to his success, he invariably returns as an swer to the query, of how did he bocome so rich, "Young, man, I owe it to a good wife God's greatest and best, boon to man., Go to her, and she will toll you ISrThe greatest trjal, of. patienco-a stammering lawyer examining a stuttering witness in tho presence or a deaf judge & intend , Intclligeiitt.

If what the scriptures say of beating swords into plowshares is not being liter ally accomplished, (more litterally, pcf- haps, than really,) at this moment in the Crimea, it is simply because the Russian engineers are not up to the ways in which the Yankees grade their streets, raise tilbir railroad embankments, or in fact remove masses of earth for any purpose whatever.

These are now the recorded featd of each day's work j so many gtins silenc ed, so many tons of hollow and solid shot fired, so much powder expended.
