Theli differ-,rt characters of' hiusb'and and wife may be judged from the couvet sation which has been recorded. Mir. Noewtoni had buit little pruidene or foresightr. Hie lived chiief!y for thle prve-''e t , aid seemined to fancey that who.tever' con~ttigenitees itight, arie ini the f utur-e, lie would remtehiow bo pro vided for. Nowy trust in 1'rovidenceG is a very pi oper feeling, but there is a goodi deal Iofi truth in thie obil adargo thati Go il help thoseothat help * lis. Newton, on the contrary,. had boeon brought up- in a family which was coaipelled to be econinmical. and although shto was nout disposed to deny horself oomuforts, yect she felt that it was desirable to procure thbem at a fair prior. Th'e time at which this cons orsation took place was at the coimmaeinceent of the second year of their mar~,ri ed lire The first step) which Mr's. N.ewton took otnlaecetinug the chiiarge of the househuold expeonses was to instituto the pract ice of paying cnash fo' tall a rticles that caame under her depart ment. She aiceotrdingly cal-led on the b tchler -. nd itiqlired l " lhio oten hove youtt been in the habit of presentinug y our bills, Mr. *Once in six months," was the re plly. "And Tspoeyusmtmshv "And you could aff'ord, I eu'pptse, to d *will eneape hn"e' ~hiea 'netif, was nan mla with sthe others, who, it is tearcelyneed ful to sa) , were ve y glad to enter itto this arrangouint. 14ady money is t.e great support of trade, and a cali cue. tunetis worth two who purobae on a ored it. 14rtunately Mrs. Nowton had a small supply of money besido h r, which lasted till the firat montlily in stallment front her httsband bebane due. -Thus she was enable'd to Larry out her cash plau from the begin ning. Another plan ,hich occurred to her as likely to save expense, was to pur chato articles in large quantities. Sho had soon saved enough from the uoeiCy alloWed her to do this. I or example instead of buying sugar a few pounds at a time, she purchased a barrel, and so succeeded in saving a a cent or more on the pound. This, pierha'ps, amounted to but a trifle in the course of a Near, but the same systen carried out, in regard to other articles yielded a reault which was by no meatns a trifle. There is other ways in which a careful housekeeper is able to limit expeise, which Mrs. Newton did not overlook. With an object in view she was always on the lookout to pre vent waste, and to get the fudl vaue of whatever was expended. The re Fult w.a be(-oiid her anticipitions.

We have liv. ed full as well, and I dout know but better than la-st year when we spent five hundred." "'It's knack Ezra," said his wife Sheowas not inolined to say how mttoh Abe had saved. Site wantted su;ne timo or otber, to surprise him with it when it.would be of some ser tiee. '-$he may possibly have saved up twenty five dollars," thought Mr. !Newtoni, "or Eoma such t ri fle," and -, dismnissed the matter from his mtinid. At the end of tie s:caond year, M rs. Newton's savings, including tle iii terestt amnounited to three hnttdred and fifty dklhars, and bite began to feel qunite rieb. Her husband did iot think to in quiro how ei had succeeded ,suppos ing, as before that, it could be but a very small sum. Howevcr he had a good piece of news tdi communicate. His salary had been raised from a thousnid to twelve hundred dollars. iHo add ed o "As f bd'for allowed you one-half m1y income for houohold expontses, it is1) nimore thran fAr I should do so cnw. toat will give you a btotter enetosave part of it than before. Indeed, I don't know howv you htave succeeded in saving thus far." As before, Mrs. Newton said that shie' had save~d son'iething, without npoeifyinig the amtount. fer- ailloantcc wats iarcated tosi hundred dola rs; but expenses were not pro port ioflily inereasedl at all; so tha~E tcr davinats for thosthird year reldte aggtegfio ath ini the~ tay ihngs batik to nix hentdred dollars.-' Mt.

Tn spite of' his careleassins in regardl to his own ail-airs, Mr. Newton was an oicellkat man in regard to business, anid his servi~cS wvere valuable to his employeh .
