* 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.

~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.

tht-t's one good thing. We have liv.

better than la-st year when we spent

"'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

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

is1) nimore thran fAr I should do so

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
