"Have you counted the cost of the experiment t" 44 To be sure I have." "Our expense* since we commenced housekeeping have averaged twenty dollars a week, you say," replied Mr. Fulton with a little hesitation. 44 Well." 44 Now I am sure we can get nice, genteel rooms in a fashionable establishment for eighteen dollars." 44 Perhaps we can ; what does that prove!' 44 Prove f Why, that it is cheaper to board than to keep house." 44 Fire and lights, a dollar more," added the husband with a smile. 4A TL ?1 a * M xiihi# u? uui ninoken.'' 44 Washing about throe dollars more."'

Wo cannot afford to keep house in such stylo as the Smiths Jonee' and Browns; but if we go to a hotel, we shall be on a level with the best and moat aristocratic of them. Give me the hotel, and I will teach j Mrs. Smith to turn up her nose at roe, as: she did last Sunday when she came into Aurch." 44 Mrs. Smith is a fool 1" 44 I know it." 44 And you desire to imitate her J" u I wouldn't be like her for all the world!" 44 Why ape her follies then!" 441 don't." 44 Well, well, Ellen, you shall have yonr own way; but_ I confess that it is with a great deal of regret that 1 leave this comtortablo house." The thing was settled. Mr. Fulton agreed to the point, and ou the very day o? the conversation, went to a first class hotel, and engaged board for himself and family.? Mrs. Fulton went with him. They intima tea mat tney wanted rooms at eighteen dollars a week, and and were shown a single department in the fourth story. The lady could not think of such a thing. She wanted a suite of rooms?a parlor and bed-chamber?and the obliging landlord took them down one flight to a couple of dingy rooms, having a delightful prospect of a brick wall iust four feet from the windows. They were Iffered these at the very moderate price of Iwenty-five dollars a week. Mrs. Fulton turned up her nose and retreated without a word of comment. Another suite on the same door was shown rhem, but fronting on the street. Tly? parlor was thirteen by sixteen, the chamber eleven by thirteen, and the landlord, in consideration of the diet that Mr. Fulton hnd a targe southern and western trade, and could inmiehce custom to the hotel, would let them have tho rooms as a particular favor at thirty dollars a week, exclusive of "extras." lie positively would not let any one else lmve it at such a seriously low rate?not even the Governor of the State. Mrs. Fulton was reluctantly making up her mind to forego the cherished experiment when to her surprise, ber husband closed the bargaiu and engaged the rooms. 14 But you can't afford it Henry." 44 O, yes?you like the rooms!" 44 Pretty well," replied the lady, dubiously "Very wSll." 44 But the childreu !" 44 You can have a trundel bed for them," suggested the obligiug landlord. 44 There's Green?worth over a hundred thousand, has smaller rooms than these." The suggestion was accepted, and in due time, the Fultons, bag and baggage, children and all, were huddled together in the tiny rooms. The contrast between these and the spacious apartments to which they had been accustomed was rattier unsatisfactory ; but then it was fashionable to board in a hotel, and like the dandy who cut off an unseemly toe so that ho could wear a fashionable boot, they compelled themselves to conform to the circumstances. CIIAPTER n. We pass over a month. Mrs. Fulton, who possessed a really domestic nature, was not altogether satisfied with the experiment of boarduig at a hotel; indeed her experience had been decidedly unpleasant Independent of the inferior dimensions of the rooms they occupied, there were many difficulties to contend with. The boarders were not all of the first class, and they found themselves compelled to associate with person who, though their public reputation was untarnished, were yet fearfully delinquent in their private lives. On one occasion after Mrs. Fulton had made the ?cquJM*>t*noe of several of her fellow-boarders, she invited a little party to a social time in her thirceen by sixteen parlor. They wore all respoc table people, merchants and professional gentlemen and their wives. U... ,l__ ...? J: i ? wuv MIT) wuijmuj Iioti uu owner UIUJIVSOU Ol the ordinary small talk of an evening gathering, than it was proposed to play a game of whist. Now neither Mr. or Mrs. Fulton had the slightest objection to a game of whist* and readily adopted the suggestion; but to the borw of both, their fashionable guests ln-j mated on plavin^ for " nuarter a corner," which gradually increased to a dollar, and finally to five dollars. The gentloraen and ladies got excited in th*'game, and by-andby, when the champagne came on, they indulged very freely in the sparkling beversge. At elevfen o'clock the excitement became general. The guests repeatedly raqg the bell and ordered more wine, till at last poor Mm Fulton began to tremble in view m the ixmequeneea. She found that the Smiths sod the Jones*, sad the Browns, and the Greens, though fastidiously fashionable, were dissipated?the ladies as well as the gentlemen. The former were vulgar and immodest, she would not have permitted her children, quietly Bleeping in the next room to have witnessed the scene for the world. At midnight when to their intense relief the party broke up, and she retired to muse upon the happy home she had wantonly sacrificed for the doubtful elegance of a hotel. They were compelled to return these visits, and to become a party to a series of iust such scenes as they had witnessed in their own rooms. They were thoroughly disgusted, and sighed for the comfortable home they had abandoned. But in a few weeks, thoy ascertained tbat there were two cliques in the houri?the one with which they had already identified themselves, and another, who utterly refused to countenance the dissipations of the first, or fellowship with its members. They were respectable, moral and dignified people; and to Mr. and Mrs. Fulton's surprise tbey found themselves cut by them. " Only think of it 1" exclaimed Mrs. Fulton, when she realized the situation in which she had placed herself; " to bo spurned by decent people, because we associate wiih such its the Smiths and Jones." "You do not understand the trick* of the fashion, iny dear," said Mr. Fulton odolly. "To l>e cast out for dissipation and riotOUS conduct what would !<" - --? - ?J ?? he knew it.'' " He would say that you ought not to have come inio a hotel." 441 wish we hadu't come, Ilenry." 44 So do L" 44 How can we ever get rid of these people I" "Out them. Mrs. Smith, in my opinion is no better than she should be," said Mr. Fulton, sagely. "I know it! If you could have seen her flirt with Jones while her husbfuid was in New York." 44 She was intoxicated in the drawing-' room lost week." " And there is Mrs. Bolton, who goes to our church, she actually refused to speak to me the other day." " Well, my dear, here is another argument" said Mr. Fulton, drawing his board bill for one month from his pocket. 44 And (.'barley came into the room with an awful word on his tongue; he said he had been down in the bar-room, and heard somebody U9e it there." Mr. Fulton Shook his head. He felt that argument more keenly than any other.? Fho morals of his children were near his heart, and when he thought of his little boy listening to the conversation of a bar-room bis heart ached, and he trembled for the future. " And Ella is a great favorite with the row tenders," added Mrs. Fulton. " Do you let the children run about the! house when and where they please 1" asked the husband, a little sternly. " I cannot keep them in this little room all the time." "True; but look at this bill," said Mr. Fulton, handing her the document, " One hundred and eighty-four dollars!" exclaimed the lady. "It's a downright swindle!" " But there are all the items." "Lunch, fifty cents," said Mrs Fulton reading. " And 1 declare, here is the same cnarge twenty times I" 44 You ordered them, did you not I" 44 No, indeed, I did not, I have three or four times, perhaps." 44 Think again. 441 have frequently rung for a cracker and a cup of milk for Ella's supper." 44 Meals in room, extra,'* said the husband quoting from the bill of fare. 44 Hut here aae two charges of that kind, yesterday. I ordered none." 44Nothing?" 44 O, I did ring for some gruel for Charley; he was sick." 44 And the other is probably a mistake; boarders don't keep accounts, and servants often mistake the number of the rooms." ' That would not make up all the bill.? Wines, twenty-one dollars!" "Your party to the Smiths, the Jones, Ac." ad'*eu Mr. Fultou, with a smile. "Washing, over twenty dollars! Do let us leave, llenry, as soon as we can." " But, my dear, hotels are fashionable!" " Nay, nay?" " And bonding would be money in my pocket." " I was wronrf" " And the children are perfectly safe; we shall have rooms all to ourselves r 441 give it up; you were right, llenry.? 1 have been very foolish." u ir - - - ? - - " iou have taught Mrs. Smith to turn un her nose to you when she comes in church. * I lira satisfied now." 44 So am I," replied Mr. Fulton, laughing heartily at the doleful air of his wife. *1 was satisfied before, and therefore retained my lease of our coinfortablo house, and have not sold the furniture." " Oh. Henry, forgive me; I will trust your jjjfawili mors to-morrow." I Tw'bhijgi ngjaadlord was sorry to lose aq^ao* a hoartTO la Mr. Fulton. His wise bill was very toleroble for a month, anJ the I 44 extras" perfectly stunning as a whole. i Mrs. Fulton returned to her former picas- i ant home, peifeetly assured that her own i happiness and the morals of her children could be better promoted in her own house 1 than in the oomusion of a fashionable hotel ; so that she never had occassion to try the ; case-r-CoMKoBT vs. Appearances. < *. - L ~ ; 1 8 JLobe ?etor) sketched accordks' to natcr*. I've heard folks say that tho wimmin was contrary.

Wlw.n T - tru *1 I .. uvm Mivia uvnil M LMWI1, UlUrU WltS n I good many fust rate gals down there, but I didn't take a iikin to any of'ein till Squire Cumtnins cum down there to live. The Squire had a mighty pretty darter. I said aoine of the gals were fust rate, but Nancy Cummins was fust rate and a leetle more. There was many dressed liner and looked grander, but there was something jam about Nance, that they couldn't hold a candle to. Jf a feller seed her once he couldn't look at another gall for a week. I tuk a likin to her rile off, and wo got aa thick as thieves. We used to go the same meetin, and sot in the same pew. It took mo to hud sarins and hymns for her; and we'd swell 'em out in a manner shockin to hardened sinners ; and j then we'd mosey hum together, while the gals and fellers kept a lookin on us as though they'd like to mix in. I'd always stay to supper; and the way she could make injun cakes, and the way I could slick 'ein with merlasses and put 'em away, was nothin to nobody. She was dreadful civil tew ; and ahvay, gettin soiuothin nice for me. I was up to the hub in love, and was goin for it like a locomotive. We.l, tilings went on in this way for a ?]>ell, till she had me tigli enough. Then she begun to show off, kinder, independent like. When I'd goto meetin, there tvasuo room in the pew ; then she'd cum and she'd streak it ofi" willi another chap, and leave ine suckin my fingers at the door, instead of stickin to nic as she used to do, she got to cuttin round with all the other fellers, just as if she cared nothin about me no more?none whatever. I got considerably riled?and I thought 1 initeas well cum to tire end of it at once ; so down 1 went to have it out with her. There was a hull grist of fellers there. They seemed mighty quiet till I went in ; then she got to talkin all manner of nonsense?said nothin to ine, and darned little of that. I tried to keen my dander down, but it worn't any use?f kept morin about as if I had a pin in my trowsers; I sweat as if I had been thrashin. My collar hung down as if it had been hung over my stock lo.dry. I couldn't stand it; so I cleared out as quickly as I could, for I seed 'twas no use to say nothin to her. I went strait to bed and thought the matter over a spell. Thiuks If that gall is jest tryin of me; 'taint uo use of our plavin possum ; I'll take the kink out of her; if I don't fetch her out of that high grass, use ine for sausage meat. I heard tell of a boy wunce that got to skewl late on Sunday mornin ; master sez? ] -1 ou utrnei sieepin criuur, what lias k?pt you so late ?" uWhy," says the boy, "it's so everlastin slippery out, I couldn't get along, no how ; every step I took forward, I went two steps backward; and couldn't have got here at all, if I hadn't turn'd back to go t'other way." Now that's just my case, lhavc been putting after that gal a considerable time. Now, thinks I, I'll go t'other way?she's been sliten of me. and now I'll slite her. What's sass for the goose, is sass for the gander. Well, 1 went no more to Nancy's. Next Sabbath day, 1 slicked myself up, and I dew, say, when I got my fixinson, I took the shine clear off any specimen of human natur in our parts. About meetin time, I put otf to Eltiiunt Dodge's. Patience Dodge was a nice a gal as you'd see twixt here and yonder, any more than she wasn't just like Nancy Cummins. Ephraira M assay had used to go and see her; he was a clever feller, but he was dreadful ielus. Well. I went to meetin witli Patience, and set right afore Nancy ; 1 didn't net my eye* on her till after meetin ; she had a feller with her who had a blazin red head, and legs like a pair of compasses; she had a face as long as a thank jgi via dinner. I know'd who she was thinkin about, and it wasn't the chap with the redhead, nuther. Well, I got to boein Patience about a spell. Kept my eve on Nance, seed how the cat was jurapin ; she didn't cut about like she did, and looked rather solemnly; she'd gin her tew eyes to kiss and make up. 1 kept it up till I like to have got into a mess about Patience. The i rittur thought I was goin arter her for good, and got as proud a* a tame turkey. One day Epbe cum down to our place lookiH as rathy as a mil why officer ae a trainin day. "Look here," set he, "Beth Stokes," as loud *s a small clap of thunder; "I'll be darned?w "HalloT" sex I: "what's brokef " Why," set he, "I cum dowwto hev satisfaction about PatieocH Dodge. Horal've ' j H*on courtin ever since last year, end she, was just as good as nyne, till you cum to gon artcr lior, and now I can't touch her with i foi ty foot pole. ' " Why," scz I, "what on earth are you lalkin about! 1 ain't got nothin to do with j jrour gal; but 'pose I had, there's nothin for | jrou to get wolfy about. If the gal has taken a likin to me, 'taint my fault; if I have taken a liken to her, 'taint her fault; and if we've taken a liken to each other 'taint your fault; but I ain't so almighty taken with her aud you may get her for all me; so you hadn't ought to getsavAge about nothin." " Well, sez he, rather, cooled down, "I'm the unluckiest thing in creation. I went t'other day to a place where there was an old woman died of some disease, and they were sellin out her things. Well, there was a tliunderin big chist of drawers, full of all sorts of truck; so I bought it and thought 1 had made a speck; but when I cum to look at 'cm, there warn't notliin in it worth a cent, except an old silver thimble, and that was all rusted up, so I sold it for less than 1 gave for it. Well, when the chap that, boucrht it i took it hum, he heard somcthin rattle?-"broke ! the old chist; and found lots of gold in it, in a false bottom I hadn't seen. Now if I hnd tuk that chist hum, I'd never found that money; or if I did, they'd all been counterfeit, and I'd been tuk up for passing on :cm. Well, I jest told Patience about it, and she rite up and called me a darned fool." . "Well," sez I, "Eplie, that is hard;?but never mind that?jest go on?you can git her; and when vou do git her, you can tile the rough edges off jest as you please." That tickled him, it did ; and away he went, a little better pleased. Now, thinks I, its time to look arter Nancy. Next day, down I went; Nancy was all alone. 1 axed her if the Squire was in. She said he warn't "Cause," sez I (mnkin bleeve I wanted him,) "our colt sprained his foot, and I come to see if the Squire wou't lend me his mare to go to town." She sed she guessed he would?better sit down till he cum in. Down I sot; she looked sort of strange, and my hart felt queer all around the edges. Arter a while, sez I; " Air vou croin down to Betsev Mas tin's qui I tin ?" Said she, "I don't know for sartin ; are you g. in r Sed I, "reckoned I would," Sod she, "I spose you'd take Patience Dodge." Sed I, "mout, and agin mout not" Sed she, "I heard you're goin to get married." Sed I " shouldn't wonder a bit?Patience is a nice gal." I looked at her; I seed the tears comm. Sez I, "may be she'll ax you to be bridesmaid." She riz up, she did, her face as red as a boiled beet "Seth Stokes!" sea she?and she couldn't say any more, she was so full. " Won't you be bridesmaid ?" sez I. "No," sez she, and she burst rite out. "Well, then," sez I, "ifyou won't be bridesmaid, will you be the bride ?" She looked un at me?I swan to man I never seed anything so awful pooty ! I took rite hold of her hand. " Yes or no," sez I, "rite off." "Yes," sez she. "That's your sort," sez I, and I gave her a buss and a hug. I soon fixed matters with the Squire. We soon hitched traces to trot in double harness for life, and I never had cause to repent my bargain.?[Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch. id g ^ no to log One, the biter bit. Mr. Travers Denham, a resident of Calcutta, was a civilian of dashing exterior and plausible manner#,.though in fact a roue? an adventurer?one who sought to bet and 1 to play at every opportunity, and who always won, and won in such a manner as to raise strange suspicions, and something worse than suspicions, in the breast of a certain Major Byrne, whose regiment was then stationed in the above city. It so happened that the latter one day entered the house of ar. official personage?one who, in a manner, figured high in the society of Calcutta, whose hospitality was equal to his wealth, and whose urbanity and fine nature were on a par with both. On being shown into a splendid drawing-room, where some furniture just received from Europe lay unpacked, he found Mr. Travers Denham, ar nveu uiwo wriwu mm, 111 uunvereauon win* the host, who was warmly pressing him to dine with hin) next day. Carelessly saluting Denham, Byrne advanced to the chimneypiece, at the side of which a small concave mirror, of an elegant but still o!d:fashioned shape, was fixed among a group of small paintings. When Penhara was gono, Major Byrne turned to the hprt, and said : "If Mr. Denham offers to make a bet with you about that dining-table," pointing tot new one, "take him at his word." " A bet 1 The table! my dear fellow"? began the bther. 14 Whisht* and listen to tne," said the ma jor; and lie communicated to liis friend what, by the extravagant fit of laughter it produced, must have been highly amuring. .v-.

"Well, I think this time your eye does deceive you," retorted their hast; "and " "And I am so confident of the contrary," continued Denbam, "that I should not mind making a wager it is full the measurement I state." Their host looked at Byrne, who winked j drolly in return, unobserved by the clever : gamester, and then he quietly replied : * " A wager ! My dear fellow you would he 1 sure to lose, take my word for it." "Lose, eh!" and Denham smiled. "Well, if you like, I'll bet you a cool thousand?aye, two?that it i3 you who are in the wrong." "Two thousand," and their host shook his head, and looked very gravely at Denham, and again at the table. " 1 es, two thousand," said Denbam, getting warm with eagerness, and taking out his pocket-book, from which ho counted out notes to that amount, lie had fieeccd several young fellow lately?l>ecn "lucky," he called it, without remorse?and was tolerably flush of money. "Why," hestitated the challenged, "I think it would be a foolish wager; but, by gad ! I don't like to be put at defiance, and j so I bet; " and nt the instant be also drew (forth the like sum, which, with Denbnin's 1 two thousand, was deposed in the hands of a I gentlemen present. j "You are sure to lose," cried Denham, j triumphantly, and scarcely able to couceal liis ilciliirlit - "I am certain to win," the host said, very gravely, as with expectation on tip-toe, .a private in the engineers, who was at hand, and called in, proceed to measure the height of the table. 44 Thirty inches!" pronounced the latter, after a pause. 44 What /" cried Denhara, with a start of rage, flushing, and then turning pale. <4It must be a mistake." "No," several of the guestssaid. "Thirty inches in the height. Come and judge for yourself." And uumistakcably the height so turned out "The devil!" exclaimed Denham, carried away now by his ruinous failure. "I'm certalh that yesterday I measured it to bo thirty-one iuches." "Yes, faith," said Byrne, stepping forward, "it's mesclf that saw ye. mo boy, marking the same on your hip as ye stood beside it, and, thinking what ye were up to, bodad ! we had the leys sawn off an inch ; and, now, I think, for once the tables are turned npon ye!" and amidst a roar of laughter as the money was handed to the winner, the discomfitted gambler rushed from the room, and was soon after profitably missod from his haunts and circle. * Tit* Clerk's \Vike.?A merchant's clerk, of the Rue Hauterviile, recently married.? His master had a niece, of Spanish birth, an orphan?she is not pretty, though very sensible, and well informed. At the balls, last winter, little or no attention was paid to her; indeed she seemed to attend them rather as a whim than from-inclination or amusement, as she seldom ever danced. But if she did not danoe, she noticed much and ! listed W'more. The clerk soon observed that the lady was only invited to dance wheu no other partner could be obtained. She herself had already noticed the same fact.? Being a gallant man, he acted accordingly. The incidents that led to the denouement may be easily divined. In six weeks after his Srst dance with the fair Spaniard, he obtained her permission to ask her undo for her hand in marriage. He, astonished 1 gave his clerk's proposal a cool reception, | and then had a long interview with his niece. ' Finally, however, all wass arranged, and the lovers were married on Tuesday. The Thursday after, at breakfast, Adeline said to her husband, who exhibited considerable chngi in at being compelled to return to the duties of his office thus early in the honey moon? 44 Very well?don't go there?go there no more!" ?r 44 My love, it is very easy to say so, but?" 44 Easy to sav and easv to do?bntli T have a million and a half.
