^?We-wiM be rery saving,' said Hattiu,
.'aud iff the end wo may reach the goal.'
Tho goal was the home which they were
to own. J 'We shall not scrimp nor deny

?No. 1 have every confidence'iu Mr.

'But did you not piy for il ?'

thought it would be just as well to keep

Mr. Skidd himself preferred that plan '
'I can see very readily why Mr. Skidd
should prefer* it,' said tho wife, with a
significant smile. 'In the first place,
he knows that you are an. indostriousf
steady, apt} ltbrJorjii?e) man, und that
wh^ver you, owe you vill surely pay.
I Ho knows that.'
Georg?: was flattered, but he felt that
his wife had spoken no more than the
truth.

the cztra labor and expense of entering
and posting each separate article, and1,
Id the end, of making a full bill of
irems?the buyer cannot with good
conscience demand reduction from asked
prices.'
'"George smiled, and said he thought
his wife was mistaken ' fie was sure he
was doing ' well. It" would be iocop
venient to pay for each little article as;
he ordered it And. furthermore, it
would be 'hv?tidteV to etl'tlo his store bills
when his employers rettlcd with him, ,, t,
Hattie did dot press the mutter. She
had brought the subject upon the tapis,

'By the way, Mr. Brown, do you pot
want a box of I these figs f They nre
flesh,?I'll warrant them,?and by thq
box I. will put them cheap.' So spoke
Mr. Skidd, the Btore keeper.
George knew that his wife was v ? ry
fond of ?gs ; nod he loved them himself.
And ho finally consented that a box
should be seut to hint.
Oo another day Mr Skidd said,?
'Ah,-Brown, my dear fellow, have
you tried this golden syrup V
George had not tried the syrup. The
best quality of molasses had hitherto
answered him. But he was persuaded
to try it.
On auothcr d 13-?
? 'Bonk here, Brown,?shall I send you
Up a dozen of theses Messina oranges ?
A new cargo just in You won't get
'em so cheap again. Only thirty cents.'
(July thirty ceuts! And (^eurge knew
how fund Hut tie woe of oranges. Of
course he,.would have thorn.
; A,nd, sy the . days passed ou, and the
month came to a end. George Brown
was paid by his employers, and beset at
once about paying-others. Ou his way
home he stopped iu aud got Mr. Skidd's
bill.
'You can take it and look it over,'
said the trader, with a patronising smile.
?You will find it aU right.'
George had intended to pay the bill
thou und thorn* but when he saw the
long column of figures, and glanced his
eyo at the sum total, his heart lenped up
into his mouth He was abounded
He had thought to himself, .is he had
come along, that Skidd's bill would be
about twelve to fifteen dollars. After
paying everything else hf would have
twenty dollars left, which would ?atisfy
this last detnuiid', and leave something
over He hud just commenced house
keeping, and did not expect, to save
much at first.
But?mercy!?how his anticipations
were knocked iu pieces us he looked at
t}ii? bill. He told Skidd be guessed he
would look it over; and on his way
homeward hc jix'.mined it; but he could
fiud nothing wrung?uotbiug wrong in
the items,?but the' sum titul was u
poser:?twenty six tloUart and furty-two
cent* I
For a *00g time aft or he had reached
home he tried to u/onviucu Hattie that
uuthiog was 1 he. matter with him; but
at . length he plucked up courage, an 1
drew forth SMddVrbU!. IIa Ud *i
pected that his wife would be paralysed
But, on tho contrary, she only smiled,
aud said it was all right.
?All right ?' echoed t.ieorgc
'All right, so fur us Mr Skidd is con
cerned,' said Hattie -You rotneulber
what 1 told you oncu before, novr
let's sit. down aud eat supper, uud then
we will look tho matter ovor.'
And after supper they went at tho
work. Hattie took tho bill, und a piece
of blank pup'-r, aud followed the iuuus
down with her pencil.
First,' she said, 'is a box of figs, at
fifteen cents a pound. It was Very
cheap, .00 doubt ; but thu eight pouuds
cumc to a dollar uud twenty cents Hud
you been 'rt-fjaired ^twptry cash, you
would uot have bought them. You would,

and I should have told you. No. Next
we have pi gallo of goldeu syrup, which
we did not nucd, and for which you
would nut have puid cash without con
sulting mo.'
And so she w nt on, and in the end
she bad oat dWu the -bill, by throwing
out articles which they had not absolu
tely needed, to less than fifteen dollars
A dollar here had not se*n)od much
to George ; and a dollar and a half
there } and thcu seventy .five cents ; and
then only fifty cents;?bat there had

Mr. Skidd sas v;sry. plainly that hut
custoner's vision was clear, and he said
no more
On the evening of that rery Monday
Mr. Skidd exhibited to George sonic
extra nice preserves, and the young
man's first impulse was to order a pot of
them ; bnt the taking out of his wallet,
a&d the breaking of a five-dollar bill,
was a palpable reminder; aud he con
cluded that he could get along without
th.mi. Said he, to hitriaefr,?
?These seemingly trivial sums, ii 1
nave them will, at the end of the month,
add up as greatly in my favor as they
have heretofore ndded up against me.'
And he found it So. And he fouud
one thing more in his favor from cash
payments which he had nut particularly
counted upon. As hu had the motiry iu
hand to' pay for the article which ue
hud planned to purchase, he could buy
it whero he could get it best and cheap
est. Traders are wot willing to lose, cash
customers; sud they do only the fair and
houe^ thing wheu they sell to such a
eu?t >uiur cheaper than they sell to
others. Nut only is the interest of the
money mi accouut an important item in
ttie uggio^alu of many accounte, but the
keeping of that accouut in day book and
ledger is an expense. Ge.irge very soon
learned all this; ami he found that even
Mr. Skidd sold to him during this mouth
of ca< paymoots cheaper than ho had
sold duriug the previous month.
And us the months rolled on, Goorcrn 1

he had a goal ahead which he hud deter

and by his system of cash payments ho
could estimate at the close of every day
the gain lie was making toward the de-'

sion that would send you in an iustant
In rhn l',h?r -

of men live. in. just that state, work, ?
receive pay, and live^ year after year, in
the very sight of death, as it wore J fafl
that 4he world may bare gun powder. *7
a\ You can ^easily guess that those men ?
go about very quietly, and never laugh: 1
.You know that gun-powder is very
dangerous in a" gun or near a fire, bat
perhaps you don't knov? thai it ir. oqual- .
ly dangerous all through the process of
making. A powdajr ?, is, ? r?arToT *

seldom allowed to go into one. ( They
are built far from town, in the woods,
and each branch of the work is done in
a separate building. ,. Theso houses are
quite a distance from each pother, so that
il one blows, up , i^^yn't. blow ap the
rest. Tbcn the lower parts of the build
ing are made very strong, while the ,
roofs are very lightly set on. So that if
it explodes only the roof will suffer. Bat
in spite of every cure, sometimes a whole
settlement of the powder mills go off
almost in an iustunt, and every vestige
of the work of years will be swept away
Mi? diatSM ri"Xvi wJ j
in a few seconds., . . . . ,1
But though you feel.like holding your
breath to look ^ it,'i^uY really a very in
terestiug process' to, -^ee.? ^ iajnade,
perhaps you know, of oh^ffcoaj, saltpetre,
and brimstone. 'Each of these article*,' '
is prepared in a house by itself; but the
house where they are mixed is the first
ie*fnbiq one. Iu.this building is an itn
menso null stooo, rolling round aud
round in an iron bed. Iu this bed, and
under the stoue, are put the three fearful
ingredients of gunpowder. There they
are thoroughly mixed and ground to-1
gothcr. , . ? . n
This is a very dangerous operation,
because if the stone comes in contact
with its iron bed, it is very apt to strike
fire, nnd the merest suspicion of a spark)
wt uid set off the whole. The materials
are spread three or four inches thick iu
the bed ; the wheel, which goes by
water power is started, und every man
leaves the place, tho door is shut, and
tho machinery left to do its terrible work
alone. When'it has run loug enough,
the mill is stopped, aud the men come
back This operation loaves the powder
in hard lumps or cakes.
The next house is where these cakes
arc broken into gruins, and, of course,
is quite us dangerous as the last one.
But the men can't go away from this,
they are obliged to attend to it every
moment; and you may be sure no laugh
or joke is ever heard within its walls.
Every one who goes iu has to take, off
his boots, aud put on rubbers, because
one grain of the dangerous powder,
crushed by the boot, would explode the
whole in an iustuut.
Tho floor of this house is covered
with leather, and is made, perfectly black
with dust of gunpowder. It contains a
...? spires oay oHJMiicr man. the
lust, through which the powder is silted;
und an immeuso grouud and laboriog
mill, where it is grouud up, while men
shovel it iu with wooden shovels. Tho
machinery makes a great deal of noise,
but the men are as sileut as in the.other
houses. The reckless crashiag of the
uiU't ??? ii * lmiti no sr.'donrtu/ wr-.oa ;
machinery even seems to give greater
horror, and one is very glad to got out
of that house.
The claims house comes next. Glat
ing is (1. ne by mixing black lead wi'.h
the powder, to give it a black and shiny
look. The powder is put iuto barrels,
which revolve for several hours. That
polishes the grains by their rubbing to
gether. The black lead is put with
tfictu tmd they revolve several hours
'more. Ot course'the dust flies from ull
those operations, and the workmcu, if*
: lent, like tho rest, look like very black
negroes, working in the blackest of pow
der, in a room whoso walls and floors
are blacker th in the rest, il possible, it
has a very singular look to a stranger,
ami added to tho horrible silence, makes
one feel that the whole world has gone
into' uninf%flng. Often, the gunpowder,
revolving so rapidly in tho barrels, g?ts
\cry hot; so fTrtfJ t??j "is , a dangerous
oiKu.it ion.
The moving house is the next on the
list, and there the gun-powder '> heated
on wo den trays. It is very hot and do
workmen stays there. From there it
goes to the packing house, and ia put
up in barrels, kegs and canisters 1

burial-ground with a scene that briugs
to tuiod Collin's exquisite ode:? /' .
"How sleep tho brave, whs sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes bleat]
When Spring, with dewy fingors cold,.
-Returns to dock their hallowed1 mould,
She them shall dress a sweeter sod 1 .
Than fancy's feet have ever trod.
"By fairy hands their knell is rung:
By forma unseen their dirge ia sung ;.
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray.
To bleas the turf thai wraps their olay;
And Freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell a weeping hermit there!"

pended on the third. What should it be?

perspiratsou stood on his forehead, while
ho shivered with anxiety, nervousness
and terror, and1 the devil triumphantly
sneered. At this juncture the man's wife
appeared in the room with a bonnet on
her head. Alarmed at the husband's
condition, she demanded to kuow the
cause. When iuforuaed, she laughed aod.
said: "I can propound a question which
the devil himsrdf cannot answer. As
him which is the front of this* bonnet?
Tho devil gave it op and retired ia dis
gust, and the man was free,
