Tlio other day I camo home with an exj

that I had earned by out of hours work.
The fact is I've a salary of $000 per annum,
and a pretty wife and baby to support out

Wo lire on one floor of an unpretending,

and Kitty?ray wife; you'll understand?does
all her own work : so that w?
lay up a neat little ^um every year ; I've
got a balance of two or three hundred dollars
at the saving's bank, the board of several
Voars, and it is astonishing how rich I
feel! "Why Rothschild himself is not a circumstance

"Well, I camo homo with my extra bill,
and showed it triumphantly to Kitty , who,
of cotirso was delighted with my ibdustry
and thrift. i "
"Now, my love," said I, "just add this to
our account at the bank, and With interest
al the end of the year"
Forthwith I commenced casting interest
.
and calculating in my brain. Kitty was
silent, and rocked the cradle musingly with
her foot.
"I've been thinking, Harry," she said,
unci u luuiuunL s jiause, -itiai since you've
got this extra money we might aft'ord to
buy a new rug. This is getting dreadful
shabby, my dear, you must see."
I looked dolefully at the rug; it was
worn and shabby enough that was a fact.
"I can get a beautiful new velvet pattern
for seven dollars,'' resumed my wife.
"Velvet?seven dollars!" groaned I.
"Well,-tben, a common tufted rug like
this would only cost'three," said ray cautions
better-half, who, seeing she could not
carry her- first ambitious point, wisely withdrew
her guns,
"That's more sensible said I. "Well
we'll see about it."
"And therms another thing I want," continued
my wife, putting her hand coax'mgly
on ray shoulder, "and it's not at all extravagant
either"
^Wblitjjg it ?" I asked, softening rapid]7
"I saw su A a lovely silk dress pattern on
Canal street this morning, and I can get it

the cheapest thing I ever saw."
"But haven't you got a very pretty green
eilk dress ?"
"That old thing! Why, Harry, I've
worn it ever since we've been married.
"Is it soiled or ragged ?"
"No, of course; but who wants to wear
iuw same green aress lorever t Jkvery body
knows it is the*only silk I have."

afraid we both felt a little cross and out of
humor with ouo another. In fact, on my
journey home, I had entertained serious
thoughts of exchanging my old si|ver watch
for a chore modern time piece of gold, and
b&o mentally appropriated the $10 bill to
furthering that purpose. Savings bank reflections
had come later.

Last week occured the. marriage of n
M'He ofSfgbteen, of the prettiest figure in
the world, an excellent education, much
intelligence, and a proud name. She married
the Count de P , a diplomatist,
forty-five years of much wit and largo
wealth, who bad the good sense to perccive
that marriage was not always a business
transaction.
All tbe young female friends of M'lle M
-busied themselves much about her
corbeille. How would the count chc io
the thousand bagatelles necessary for a woman's
toilette! The Count was watched.
The Becret police of (ho young ladies kept
eyo on his movements; they saw him enter
no jowelcr's, no 6hawl merchant's, no dry
goods stores, and that worried them. When 1
they alluded to wedding presents, the Count 0
seemed not to understand them. At Inst ;
they began to suspect him of avarice, and \
pitticd poor M'llc M for making such 1
a marriage.
But on the day of the signing cf the con- j
tract, the Connt arrived, carrying under his
arm n small ebony box, beautifully ornamented.
lie placed it on tlio lap of his.-Jbor
hrothed, saying,"My dear Blanche, porrait
me to offer you what will servV as a corbeille.
"So small a corbeille!" whispered to each
other the curious and discontented young
ladies.
"I do not give you," added the Count,
"shawls or dresses, which I should have badtly
selected."
"What does he give lierthen, the miser?"
murmured the young girls. "A book in
whioh to set down her expenses, no doubt."
"A talisman, with which you shall have
all you desire.""
"A Talisman! judge the effect produced ,
by tlie word. Tbe girls surround the blush- I
ing Blanche. I
"Open it! let us see the talisman." 1
Trembling Blanche opened the bor. It ,
contained a hundred notes of a thousand ,
francs, and placed upon them was a little
key. Everybody was delighted. A hun- )
dred thousand francs! What generosity !
"Mad that you are," said the Count, "vou 1
are in ecst3cies before these rags, aud say 1
nothing about the talisman." <
"How ! by the talisman do you not me au ,
the notes themselves!" <
"Not at all. The notes are ft cushion for 1
the talisman. The talisman is the key." 1
"This key! Is it a magic key ?"
"No, it is simply the key of my money
drawer."
Tbib modest and unembarrassed liberality 1
produced a very great effect, and the future ,
Countess is regarded as quite a happy wo- <

Madison saved money, and was comparalively

or rather to those of his widow, Congress
purchased his manuscript papers, and
paid thirty thousand dollars fbr them.

Believing none were nigh,
ClaBped her little hands bo sweetly,
And then with upturned eye?
Said, "Father! please to bless mo
Through all the long, day,
And keep me all bo safely

She simply asked forgiveness
For evil she had done.
Then said, "now I'm forgiven,
Through Christ, Uod'? own dear Son."
She prayed for loved ones near her,
For friends botli far nnd wide.
Said, "I want Thee, God, to bless tbem,

Whether a Wife is Necessary.?
"Cceleds.?But, after all, do you not
liink that the advantage of bachelorhood
ire underrated, and those of matrimony
werrated ? A bacbcior is self-contained,

A Hint for Mammas.?Bad temper in
children is oftoner the re?ult of unhannv
uircumstances than of an unhappy organization.
It frequently however, has a physical
cause, and a peevish child often need
iirecting more than correcting. Some
shildren are more prone to show temper
than others, and sometimes on account of
the qualities which are valuable in themselves.
For instance, a child of active temnp.rmfint
KPnaitirn fnolinnr fin/1
I -w O I'U'J'"8cs
is more likely to meet with constant jars
and rubs than a more passive child ; and if
be is of open nature, his inward irritation
is immediately shown in burst of passion.
If you repress these ebullitions by scolding
and punishment you only increase the evil
by changing passion into eulkiness. A
cheerful, good-tempered lone of your own,
a sympathy with his trouble, whenever the
trouble has arisen from no ill-conduct on
his part, are the best antidotes. But it
woiild be better still to prevent beforehand,
as much as possible, all sources of annoyance.'
Never fear spoiling children by making
them too happy. Ilnpj. no."3 is the
sphere in which all good affections grow?
the wholesome .warmth neneasnru t<~> m?L-n

political eminence and professional fame
fade away and?dio with all things earlblv.
Nothing of cbaracter'is really permanent
but virtue and personal worth, ^fbey remain.
Whatever of excellence is wrought
iotQ. the soul itself belongs to both worlds.
Reaf'goodneas does not attach itself merely
teirthis life; it points to another world.
Political or professional fame cannot last
forever; but a conscience void of offence
before,God and roan, is an inheritance for
eternity. Religion, therefore, is a neccssary,
an indispensable eie'merit in^ any great human
character. Tjaere is.no living without

with his Creator, and holds him to his
throne. If that tic be sundered, all broken,

A Startlinq Sneeze in a Theatre.?
On Saturday evening an amusing incident
which created a deal of merriment, occurred I
at Wood's Theatre., During a scene in the

were detailing the murderous schemo of ]
Quoen Margaret to dispose of her two children?a
task which had been confidecUo

Every eye was turned upon the stage, and i
every ear listened withJntense anxiety to 1
the recital. In the midst of the most interesting
portion of the narrative, there came i
an explosion from the dress circlo which op^erated
like a galvanic shock, and-startled
every listener as though a bombshell had j
burst iu their midst. Tlie cause was inS?1

The audience laughed, and, the villains of the
