now to i: vu a iiomi:.
The other evening I came home with
an extra ten dollar bill in my pocket
money that I had earned by uut ot-doors
work. The fact is that 1 am a clerk m
a down store, at a .salary of ftiOO per an
num, and a pretty wife and babe to sup
port out of it.
I suppose the Income will sounu amaz
ingly small to two and three thousand
doHar oihee holders, but nevertheless we
contrive to live very comfortably upon it.
Ve live on? 'I'-or of an unprctendod little
house for which we pay ?1."0 per annum,
and Kittv my wife, you'll understand
dfii'u all her own work, so that we lay up a
neat little sum every year.
I've got a balance U two or three h'tn
dred dollars at the saving bank the hoard
of several years, ami it is astonishing how
rich I feel! Why, llothehild himself,
vr?st't a circumstance to me!
Well, 1 ca.se ho" villi my extra bill,
and showed it triumphantly to K'Cty n-h"
of course was delighted with my industry
and thrift.
"Now, my love," said I, "just add this
to our account at the bank, and, with in
terest at the end of the year
Forthwith 1 commenced cistinjrH crest
and calculating in my brain. Kitty wa
silent, and rocking the cradle with her
foot.
" I've been thikintr, Harry," she said
after a moment's pause, that since you've
rot this extra money, we might well aflbrd
to buy a new rug. "This is getting .Jrea I
fully shabby, my dear, you mibt see."
' I looked dolefully at the rug it was
worn shabby enough, '.hat was a fact.
" 1 can get a new velvet pattern for
seven dollars," resumed my wife.
(t yt'7-:-S cm infitirs!" groaned I.
" Well, then a common tufted ng l'ke
this, would cost taily three dollars said
mv cautious better half, who, seeing she
wouldn't carry her first ambitious point
wisely withdrew her guns.
" That's more seiwolo," taid I, " we'll
toe vbout it."
il And there is another thing I want,"
continued my wife, putting her hand coax
ingly on my shoulder, and it is not at all
cxritvat;ant either."
I saw such a bmlg sillc (lre8-pat tern
on Canal street this morning, and I can
get it for ix dollars, ojy six dollars Har
ry ! It is tho cheapest thing I ever
and I looked meaning glances at one an
other. " lhrry," said she, "tlr.t n'.g Isn't to
bad after all, and my green silk will do a
year longer with care."
And a silver vat'-h is ipii'e as rood
for all practical purposes, as a gold re
peater," Mad 1. "We will set vi do all
imaginary wants !''
" The ten dollars must go to the bank
stf.id Kitty, and I'll economize the cop
persjust as Mrs. Wihimt did. O ho
happy she will bo rmorg the rose?5 in that
cottage next spring !"
Our merry teakettle sung us a cheerful
little S'ng over the lire that niuht, and
the burden was " Economy and r. house c f

"And"
"Ves I am the mar. you made. Vou

who took off the evil, and lint led me to

know that the children ot your own liesit

in painful succession. Jacob and his wife
were ulone, and gaunt poverty looked them
coldly in the face.
"Don't repine, Susan," said the old
m-n " True, we are poor, but we are not

"Nut forsaken Jacob ? Who is there

I now appear here to expound the Scrip

"Why, Wihnot," faidl, "how did this
happen? i ou've only been in bu-?ness
eiirlit or ten months loncer than 1, at a
salary a trifle larger than mine, yet I could
as soon buy the mint as purchase a cottage
like that."
"Well said the neighbor, "we have
all been working to this end for years.
My wife has darned, mended and saved
and we have lived or plan fairc, and
have done with the cheapest things. Jhit
the magic charms of the whole affair was
that wc laid aside rm ;v7i that was
not needed by actual positive wtint. Yes,
I have seen my wife lay by red coppers,
one bv one."
" Will, you arc a lucky fellow," said I
with a sigh.
" Times nre hard, you know just now,
nnd t!.r owner w.vs not whnt You call an
economical man, and he was glad to sell

The old couple sat for a while i" silence.
When they were aroused from their pain
ful thoughts, it was by the stopping of a
li-ht cart in front of the door. A man
entered the room where they sat. He
was the porter of tlic poor hoiue.
"Come, Mr. Manfred," no s;a;d, " the
guardians have managed to crowd you in
to the poor houe. The cart is at the
door, and you can get ready as yooii as
possible."
Jacob Manfred had not calculated the
strength ho should need for this ordeal.
Ther- was a coldness in the very tone and
manner of the man who had come for him
that went like an ice bo!t to his heart, and
with a deep groan he sank back into his
seat.
"Conic be in a hurry," impatiently
urged tho P'orter.
At that moment a carriage drove up at
the door.
" Is th'u the house of Jacob Manfred ?"
This question was a.-ked by a man who
entered from the carriage. He was a very
kind looking man, about forty years of
ag.
"Thai, is my name," said Jncob.

there's mor'n one kind of file. J lit res
