'W& ,asked his wife, looking up, 'how do you come ouit' - 'I fid,' said her husband, 'that my expenses during the past year have been thirty seven cents over athousand dollars.' 'AM your income has been a thousand dollars?' 'Yes, I managed pretty well, din'tlt 'Do you thin1r it managing well to exceed your income?t' said his wife. 'What's thirty-seven cents?' ask edl Mr. Newton, lightly. 'Not much to be sure, but still something. It seems to me we ought to have saved before falling 'But how can we save on this salry Elizabeth"t 'Perhaps there is something in which we might retrench. Suppose you mention some of your items.' "The most important are house rent one hundred and fifty dollars, onA altpiAn nf fn.'~A fiw~ hirndrad 'Stillwe ought to be saving up something against a rainy day.' Mat would be like carrying an umbrella, when the sun shines.' 'Still it is well to have an umbrel la in the house.' 'I can't controvert your logic, Elizabbth, but rm afraid we won't be able to save anything this year. When I'get my salary raised it will be time enough to think of that.' 'Let me make a proposition to you,' said Mrs. Newton. 'You say one-half of your income has been expended on articles of food. Are you willing to allow me that sum for the purposeT' Ton guarantee to pay all bills out of it?' 'Yes.' 'Then I will shift the responsibili ty on you with pleasure. But I can tell you before hand you won't be able-to-save much out of it.' 'Perhaps not. At any rate I will engage not to exceed it.' 'Tat's well. I shouldn't relish having any additional bills to pay. As I am paid every month, I will at each payment hand you half the money.' The difermt characters of hds band and wife may be judged from the conversation which has been recorded. Mr. Newton had but lit -de prudence of foresight. He lived chiedy for the present, and seemed to fancy that whatever contingen des might arise in the future, he would somehow be provided for. Now trust in providence is a very proper.feeling, but there is a good deal of truth in the adage that God will help those who help them. selves. Mrs. Newton, on the contrary, had been brought up in a family which was compelled to be econom ical, and although she was not disposed to deny herself comforts, yet she felt that it was desirable to procure thezt at a fair price. The time at which this conversa tion took place was at the com mncement of the second year of their married life. The irst step which Mrs. New on took on accepting the charge of the household expenses, was to ntitute the practice of paying cash for all articles thzt came under her epartment. She accordingly call d on the butcher and inquired.: 'How often have you been in the habit of presenting your bills, Mr. Wil'ams?t' 'Once every six months,' he ire plied. 'And I suppose you sometimes have bad bills!t' 'Yes, one-third of my profits on an average, are swept off by them.' 'And you could afford I suppose to sell somewhat cheaper for ready oney?t' 'Yes, Iwould be glad if all my ustomers would give me a chance to do so.' 'I will set them an example then,' replied Mrs. Newton. 'Hereafter, whatever articles shailbe purchased f you shall be paid for on the spot, ad we shall expect you to sell as reasonable as you possibly can.' This arrangement was also made with the others who, it is scarcely eedful to say, were very glad to eter into the arrangement. Beady oney is the great support of trade, ad a cash customer is worth two who purchase on credit. Fortunately,.Mrs. Newton had a small supply of money by her which lasted till the first monthly install ent from her husband became due. hus she was enabled to carry out er cash plan from the beginning. Another plan which occurred to her as likely to save expense, was to phs articles in large quanti ties. She had soon saved enough rom the money allowed her, to do this. For example instead of buying few pounds of sugar at atime,she purchased a barrel, and so succeeded in saving acent on apound. This perhaps amounted to but a trifle in the course of .a year but the same system carried out in regard to other articles, yielded a result which was by no means a trifle. There were other ways in which careful housekeeperis able to limit expense which Mrs. Newton did not overlook. With an object in view she was always on the lookout to prevent waste, and to get the full value of what she expended. Th es wan s eyoand her anti cipations. At the close of the year, on examining her bank-book-for she regularly deposited whatever money she had not occasion to use in one of the institutions-she found that she had one hundred and fifty dollars, besides reimbursing herself for the money during the first month, and having enough to last another. 'Well, Elizabeth, have you kept within your allowance?' asked h -r husband at this time. 'I guess you have not found it so easy to save as you thought it would be.' 'I have saved something, howev er,' said his wife. 'But how is it with you?' 'That's more than I can say. However, I have not exceeded my income, that is one good thing. We have lived full as well, and I don't know but better than we did last year, when we spent five hun dred.' 'It's knack, Ezra,' said his wife, smiling. She was not inclined to mention how much she had saved. She wanted some time, or rather to surprise him with it when it would be of some service. 'She may possibly have saved up $25 or so,' thought Mr Newton, 'or some such trifle,' and so dismissed the matter from his mind. At the end of the second year, Mrs. Newton's savings, including the interest, amounted to three hundred and fifty dollars, and she began to feel quite rich. Her husband did not think to in quire how she had succeeded, sup posing as before, that it could be but a very small sum. However, he had a piece of good news to communicate. His salary had been raised from a thousand to twelve hundred dollars. Here he added: 'As I b*re al owed you one half my income for household expenses, it is no more fair than I should do so now. That will give a better chance to save part of it than before. Indeed, I don't know fow you have succeeded in saving anything thus far.' As before, Mrs. Newton merely said that she saved something, with ut specifying the amount. Her allowance was increased to six hundred dollars, but her ex penses were not proportionally in reased at all; so that her savings for the third year swelled the aggre gate sum in the savings bank to six undred dollars. Mr. Newton, on the contrary, in spite of his increased salary, was o better off at the end of the third year than before. His expenses had increased by a hundred dollars, though he would have found it dif icult to tell in what way his com fort or happiness had been increased thereby. In spite of his carelessness irrre gard to his own affairs, Mr. New on wasan excellent manin regard to his business, and his services were valuable to his employer. They ac ordingly increased his salary from time to time, till he reached sixteen undred dollars. He had steadily preserved the custom of assigning me-half to his wife for the same purpose as heretofore, and this had become such a habit that he never thought to inquire whether she found it necessary to employ all of it or not. Thus ten years rolled away. During all this time Mr. Newton lived in the same hired house for which he paid an annual rent of me hundred and fifty dollars. atterly, however, he had become issatisfied with it. It had pass d into the possession of another andlord, who was not disposed to keep it in repair which he consider d desirable. About this time a block of excel lent houses were erected by a capi talist who designed to sell them or let them ashe might have ant op ortunity. Theywere more modern nd much better arranged than the ne in which Mr. Newton now lived, nd he felt a strong desire to move nto one of them. He mentioned it to his wife one morning. 'What is the rent, Ezra?' inquir d his wife. 'Two hundred dollars for the orner house; one hundre'l and seventy five for the others.' 'The corner one would be prefer able on account of the side win 'Yes, and they have a large yard beside. I think we must hire one of them. I guess I'll engage one to-day; you know our year is out next week.' 'Please wait,Ezra,until to-morrow before engaging one.' 'For what reason ' 'I should like to examine it.' 'Very well, I suppose to-morrow will be sufficiently early.' Soon after breakfast Mrs. New ton called on Squire Bent, the own er of the new block, and initmated her desire to be shown the corner house. The request he readily com plied with; Mrs. Newton was quite delighted with all the arrangements, and expressed her satisfaction. 'Are all these houses for sale or to let?' she inquired. 'Either,' said the owner. 'The rent is, I understand, two hundred dollars.' 'Yes, I consider the corner house worth at least twenty-five dollars I more than the rest.' 'And what do you charge for the house to a cash purchaser?' asked Mrs. Newton, with subdued eager ness. 'Four thousand dollars cash,' was the reply; 'and that is but a small advance on the cost. cVery well, I will buy it of you, added Mrs. Newton, quietly. 'What did I understand you to say!' asked the Squire, scarcely be lieving his ears. I repeat that I will buy this house, at your price, and pay the money within a week.' 'Then the house is yours. But 4 your husband said nothing of his intentions, and in fact I did not know-' 'That he had any money to invest, I suppose you would say. Neither I does he know it, and I must ask 1 you not to tell him for the pres- i ent. The next morning Mrs. Newton i invited her husband to take a walk, i but without specifying the diree tion. They stood in front of the house in which he desired to live. 'Wouldn't you like to go in ' she asked.2 'Yes, it is a pity that we have I ot the key.' . 'Ihave the key,'saidhis wife, and forthwith walked up the steps and a proceeded to open the door. 'When did you get the key of a Squire Bent?' asked her h u s- e band. 'Yesterday, when I bought the i ouse,' said his wife quietly. i Mr. Newton gazed at his wife in 1 profound astonishment.E 'What on earth do you mean, I lizabeth V' he inquired.a 'Just what I say. The house is I nine and what is mine is thine. f o the house is yours, Ezra.' s 'Where in the name of goodness , id you raise the money?' asked I er husband, his amazement still as z great as ever.i 'I havn't been a managing wife t for ten years for nothing,' said Mrs. i ewton, smiling. t With some difficulty Mrs. New-e tn persuaded her husband - that 3 he price of the house was really I he result of her savings. He felt when he surveyed the commodious g arrangements of the new house, g hat he had reasons to be grateful i for the prudence of his managing I wife.

To give you some idea of gur condition as to capi tal, I would refer you to two or three points in our State. In Char lotte, which is the biggest town of a its size in the United States, we h have five chartered banks, with a is capital paid in of $850,000. Their B. deposits will exceed $1,500,000, n on which they pay six per cent. 2- -total, $2,350,000.

You havn't confi dence in your neighbor, though he mortgages his farm; but you put i.t din one of these banks on long call at 6 per cent., and your neighbors go to the bank and borrow it at 18 g per cent., to raise the wind for the y next crop. .

After much questioning we e succeeded in getting the address, r1 what he wished to say; and the sig , nature. He said he wanted to "see ii it go.". i- "Allight," we replied and calling i up the offee for which the message >fwas destined, inside of two minutes >- we informed him that it had gone. a "Gone ?'' he said. ii "Yes." I He studied awhile, then said: s "How long before it will get e there ?" L- "Why, it's there now," we answer - ed. - "Oh, I guess not," he replied; in , creduously. e "Yes it is," we replied; "it was there the minute we sent it." S"Oh," he said, "I reckon it takes some little time on the way." Then ?he fell into a brown study, finally a saying: "I reckon I couldn't ever e learn that business." a "Maybe not," we said. ,"Was you raised in Missouri?" t "Oh, no," we replied, "we are .from New York." "I reckon so," he said.' "Why?" s"Cause you're so smart ; they r don't raise folks like you in Missou j ri." And he picked up his carpet B sack and took his leave, doubtless f fully convinced that we had been 1 trying to humbug him. i Two old farmers were talking at > the connetr a few days ago. One a remarked: "The telegraph is won Sderful." "Yes," replied the other, 1 "it's the most sublimest improve. a ment that Iknow of." - "How do you ever expect to be i come a duchess, my daughter ?" S"Why, by marrying . a Dutchman, to be hsare." BREAKFAST. The hour for taking the first meal varies even among the people of the same nation. The farmer rises before the sun, and sits down to his breakfast at five o'clock with a good appetite. The professional man riseslaterin the day, and eight, it may be nine o'cloc, finds him sipping his cup of coffee. The Lofidon nobleman is hardly pre paredfor it by midday, and the shad ows of evening fall before the Par isian epicure has taken his first meal. Tobias Venner, of Shake speare's time, recommended to per sons of sedentary habits a couple of poached eggs, seasoned with sauce and a few corns of pepper, drinking thereafter a good draught of claret. Sir Isaac Walton break fasted while fishing, off a p'eee of powdered beef and a radish or two. The Greeks ate but two meals, the first at midday, the- second in the evening. The English in the thir teenth and fourteenth centuries had four meals a day. In the six teenth century my lord 'and lady sat down to a repast of two pieces of salted fish and half a dozen red herrings, or a dish of sprats and a quart of lager, and the same meas ure of wine. Pepys, of Charles I's reign, had at his company break fasts a barrel of oysters, a dish of meats' tongues, a dish of anchovies, with ale and wine of all sorts. Miss Sedgwick writes of an En glish breakfast party that the num ber of guests is never aHowed to exceed twelve. There are coffee, tea, chocolate, toast, rolls, grated beef and eggs, broiled chicken, rein deers' tongues, swhae, fruits and ices. When Mrs C. H. Hall brefasted with Miss Edgeworth, the table was headed with, early roses upon which the dew was sti moist. There was a little bouquet of her arranging by each plate this from Marie Edgeworth, then between sixty and seventy years old. A breakfast in Scotland con sists chiefly of cold grouse, salmon, cold beef marmalade- jellies, five kinds of bread, oatmeal cakes, cof fee, toast and tea. Southy alludes to the different preferences of va rious nationas in regard to- food when he describes a man of univer sal taste as one who would have eaten sausages for breakfast at Nor wich, sweet butter in Cumberland, orange marmarade at Edinburgh, Findow haddocks at Aberdeen, and drank punch with befsteak if the Frenchman had obliged him with an English dinne.- He had eaten a squab pie in Devon, sheep's head itith the hair on.in Scotland, and potatoes roasted on the hearth in Ireland, frogs with the French, pickled herring with the Dutch, sour krout with the Germans, mac earoni with the tinsn, and turtle and venison with the Lord Mayor; and the turtle and venison he would have preferred to them all for his taste, though catholic, was discrim inating. They have a new wrinkle in Boston for making chickens out of old hens-that is, by breaking the breast bone about one and one-half inches from the point where apersonfeels for it. It look ed as if it had been done with long priers by bending the bone up. It is very nicely done, and cannot be discovered until the chicken is dis sected. This is no fish story, for I bought them myself; but I should call it foul play.

HOW TO BE ACCEPTABLE. If we could only~impress-upoR all mankind the fact that a m cred duty. which deolves upon each individual is to keep him self or herself pure, sweet and acceptable to those about them at all times, we shotld feel that we had accomplished a work -of price less value. Of course we cannot do this, nor can we expect to influ ence any large proportion of the people in that direction of thatclean liness which so nearly approximates godliness But we do ifntlate a select few to greater care of them selves, to greater consderation for the tastes and feelings of others, and in this we have a sweet and lasting reward. Thousnded one young readers will, by and by;refleet that to our teachings they owe some. thing of their good manners, not a little of their good mrails ga&very much of their good habits,-and they will, some way, thank us for our earnestness in their behalf. So we remember that when we preaeh temperance and ceianliness an& a life of thoughtful puritj, we are teaching-our readers an all-impor tant lesson, and-one which cannot be too early learned. There is a great deal of seTfish ness in the worldand this trait is manifested in nothing more than in personal habits.

The offence does not cease for days after the poison is abandoned.- Its odor is wonderfully noxious and wonderfully lasting. It is simply detestable.

For impurity ini thought or act or word is always an offexice, always objectionable.
