! jfig THE OLD TURNPIKE.
K We hear no more-of the clanging hoof,
And the stage coach rattling by;
-For the steam king rules the travelled world,
r_.And the old Pike'6 left to die.
Krhe grass creeps o'er the flinty path,
W:_ And the stealthy daises steal,
r Where the stage-horse, day by day,
a Lifted his iron heel.
SNomore the weary stager dreads
The toil ol the coming morn;
V No more the bustling landlord runs
> At the sound of the echoing horn:
;; For the dust lies still upon the road,
And bright-eyed children play
Where once the clattering hoof and wheel
i Rattled along the way.
1 v
B/O more we hear the cracking whip,
Or the strong wheels rumbling sound;
JTAnd ah! the water drives us on,
And an iion horse is found!
It The coach stands rusting in the yard,
p And the horse bas sought the plough;
f We havespanned the world with an iron rail,
And the steam-king rules us now!
The old turnpike is a pike no more,
Wide open stands the gate;
'We have made us a road for our horse to stride,
Which we ride at a flying rate.
We have filled the valleys and levelled the hills,
Aud tunnelled the mountain side;
And round the rough crag's dizzy verge,
Fearlessly now we ride !
On?on?on?with a haughty front!
A puff, a shriek, aad a bound;
tardy echoes wake too late,
To babble back the suui.<l,
And the old pike road is left alone,
rAnd the stagers seek the plough;
We have circled tbe earth with an iron rail,
And the steam-king rules us now!
WHEN SOME WRONG OR ENVY'S STEEPING.
When the heart, with the strong endeavor,
Puts away unkindly feeling,
Trusting it again may never
Come, its bitter fruits revealing ;
When it chasteneth its longing
r Unto that the pure might see,
And desires unbidden, thronging,
Spurns aside if wrong they be.
^ When it ceases to do evil,
And is striving to do well,
r . Ob, how hard that taint primeval
I presses 10 reoei;
When some wrong of envy's steeping,
Rudelv, with envenomed sting,
? Wakes those passions that were sleeping,
Under penitential wing, *
And demands the stern denial
Which forbids them to give way
In this hour of hardest trial!?
Hard the spint to obey !
When some stroke of malice, blinded,
Unexpected, makes us bleed,
Not to hate the evil-minded
Who hath darkly done the deed.
Hate, that guest that ever paineth
While it lingers in the breast,
Y And no ray of comfort gaineth
To the spirit's wounded rest;
Yet will come against our willing,
We may lorce it hence again.
And the radiance of love streaming
Back again into the breast,
Like seme starlight's peaceful gleaming
From its high serene of rest;
FiUing-bp-ourTJOuis W'itb~g}aduess, _
eirongsr in uacn vnaory won
K t'Over Envy's pitied madness,
And the evil it hath done!

I CAN'T GET ALOjVG.
K BYT. 8. (ARTHUR.
JgT ?I don't know how it is,' said Felix Hall,' that
Hpom^ people can get along so comfortably on a
Khousand dollars a year. We can't do it.'
ST 'Tm sure I try to economize all I can,' rcturnHpd
l!rs. Hall, sadly, forshe felt that her husband's
^Jerfairk was more than half intended as a reflecjHioi
iipon her. 41 only keep one girl, and do

I'Jdon't blame you, Harriet,' said Mr. Hall,
^sure I don't. I know you work bard?too
B I often wish it was easier for you. But
can I do ? My salary is only a thousand
Bs. And yet, that is all Hawkins receives,
Be seems to get along so smoothly, and even

4 I know that Mrs. Hawkins doesn't work
Bs hard as I do, though her house always
Bin better order than mine. They have betBmiture
than wo have, and I am sure Mrs.
Blins' clothes cost double what mine do. I
I think it is my fault.7

I can live very wel 1 on a thousand dollars, while
we are always owing bills to this, that, and the
other one. Ilere is the quarter's bill for groceries
amounting to sixty-five dollars, and I owe
seventy to my tailor besides. Then there is an
unsettled bill at the provision store of fifteen or
twenty dollars, besides the rent, bread bill, the
milk bill, and I don't know how many other
bills.'
' I wish these bills were not allowed to run on,'
remarked Mrs. Hail: * I am sure it wouiu oc a
great deal better topay for everything as we go
along.'
' So it would, but wc havn't the money to do
it with.'
' It takes nearly my whole quarter's salary,
regularly, to pay off the bills of three months :
and then there is no way to live but to go on
trust for almost everything for three months louger.
It's a bad system I know, but there appeal's
to be no help for it just now.'
And in the full conviction that there was no
help for it, Mr. Hall drew his quarter's salary of
two hundred and fifty dollars, and went and paid
- t_:n .1 1 ,
OU UJIKS itllU UUJTUWUU IllUllO^ uvuuaniuuuuii^
to two hundred dollars. Then giving his wife
ten dollars to get little things with, he started,
under a feeling of discouragement, ou a new quarter
with but forty dollars in his pocket. Although
be had paid two hundred dollars of debts,
there was almost an equal amount still hanging
over him.
Mr. Hall was a clerk in a bank, where he was
engaged, regularly, from eight o'clock in the
morning until about four o'clock and sometimes
five in the afternoon. He lived in a house for
which he paid two hundred dollars a year, and
paid his tailor from a hundred to a hundred and
fifty dollars annuaily. lie carried a gold lever
watch that had cost eighty dollars, and wore a
chain for which ho had paid forty, lie also indulged
in one or two expensive breast-pins, and
before his family had become as large as at present,
had spent a good deal of money in jewelry
for his wife. But the dropping in of one child
after another, until the number grew to five, interfered
with these little indigencies very materially,
and called so loudly for self-denial that
the appeal could not be entirely disregarded.
But the self denial was practiced more by Mrs.
Hall?much more than by her husband. She
denied herself almost everything, even sufficient
rest f-T her overwearied body, while she went
on in most things about the same as he did when
he and his wife paid eight dollars a week for their
boarding, and ha^just the same income they had
at present. But let us look a little more closely
into his way of doing things, and see if it is
not possible to discover what appeared so great
a mystery to him.
un the day after Mr. Hall had spoken to his
wife so despondingly, he spent for tobacco and
cigars eighteen and three-quarter cents; for a
luncheon and a glass of wine sangaree, twelve
and a half cents more; and in toys for the children,
fifty cents.
He also bought a bottle of wine, for which he
paid seventy-live cents. These items amounted
to one dollar and fifty-six and a quarter cents, m
a single day. On the next day, he paid his barber's
bill for three months, which was three dollars
and a half, and his boot black's bill, which
was two dollars.?Luncheon, and some cakes and
candies for the childjen, cost twenty-five cents,
and a very pretty paper toidcr that struck' 1113
fancy, a trifle of twenty-five cents more. Here
were six dollars for the second day, nearly all of
which might have been saved if he had shaved
himself and brushed his own boots, to do either
of which would have been far more honorable,
genteel and praiseworthy, than to indulge in the
luxury of a barber and a boot-black and let his
wife work herself half to death. On the third
day he hired a chaise and rode out with his family
after he had loft the bank in the afternoon.
The chaise hire was a dollar and a half, and the
toll-gates and refreshments for all, fifty cents
more. Alr.-ady, in hmcioon, cigars, and one or
ttfo little matters, a half dollar had been expended
by Mr. Ilall in the fore part of the day, so
that on the third day of the week, three dollars
were expended unnecessarily. During this time,
for marketing, shoes for one or two of the children,
and sundry expenses incident to a large
family, six dollars melted from the hands of Mi-s.

JJLUil*
On the evening after the ride, Mr. Hall took
out his pocket-book and counted his money. To
his utter astonishment, and almost dismay, he
found that he had only about twenty-three dollars
and a half. He counted over and over again,
but could not nia^ itf t Trent more. Three days
before he had fmlj ill 11 n " Tf"i * omild ni|(|^
teen and a half have flown to ? He had never
spent it; that to his mind was perfectly clear.
4 Have you taken any money out of my pocket-book
?' lie asked his wife.
'No, certainly not,' she replied ; 'what should
I take money out of your ] >ocket-hook for 1 You
gave mo ten dollars, and 1 have eight and a half
of it left.'
' Well, something's gone with about ten dollars.
I have but twenty-three and a half, and I had
forty, two or three days ago. Of course, I havn't
spent sixteen dollars and over in three days.'
' Certainly not. But where can it have gone ?
Have vou counted right?'
'Oh,yes 1' and Mr. Ilall went over the money
again to sec if there was no mistake.
' It's too true. I have but twenty-three dollars
and a half.'
'Arc you sure you havn't spent it for something?'
suggested Mrs. Ilall, ' How else could
it have gone ?'
' Some one must have given me wrong change.
I gavo the carriage driver a five dollar bill. Let
mo see. What cliango did he give ? It was a
. note, and I took it for three dollars.'
Mr. Hall ran over the money in his pocketbook.
' Yes, here's a three dollar bill. Ho gavo mo
I rinrlif nlmrHT/v'
Mr. Ilall's mind was in groat perplexity. His
income was small enough compared with his ex.
.'r *W
pcnses, and, therefore, to Jose eight or ten dollars
lie felt to ho no trifling matter.
1 Suppose you count up what }rou have spent ?'
suggested Mrs. Hall,' and see how much it is
exactly. Perhaps you have laid out more than
you think for.'
'I've not laid out half of sixteen dollars.
But we will count up.'
In the first place the spendings for marketing,
shoes and the sundries that went into the family
were recalled with some effort, and the snm of
six dollars finally made out.
' That's only six dollars, you see,' remarked
Mr. Ilall, 1 leaving a deficiency of ten dollars and
a half.'
But you forgot the carriage hire.''
I ' True. That was two dollars?making eight
dollars.'
'And you know you bought milk and cakes
for the children, and paid the toll-keeper.'
'So I did. Let me see how much I paid exactly.
Just fifty cents to a fraction.'
'Then we have eight dollars and fifty cents accounted
for, which leaves eight dollars deficient.
Thiuk, now, what you spent for yourself, yesterday
and the day before.'
'Not eight dollars nor eight cents. But let
me see. There Is my luncheon every day, for
three days?-just thirty-seven and a half cents.?
True! And there i< a a bottle of wine. I'd f rgotteu
that?seventy-five tents. V- r. and now
I remember I paid l..'i . .V 'hi ! : J >ys I
brought the bhildru:.'
'So much?'
'Yes. I had to bay hr ah r,{ them, and even
cheap toys, where yow 1. ^t ?o many of
them, count up. But we musi indulge the children
sometimes. I have spent, also, for cigars
and tobacco, the trifle of thirty-one cents; and for
a paper folder a quarter. And in cakes and
candies for the children, I may have spent, may
be, a shilling. Let me see how much all these
amount to.'
mi .1 ? J
liie iiems were soon surmneu up, <iuu tw pivduct
was two dollars and nearly a half.
'That, you see, reduces it to five dollars and a
half,' said .Mrs. Hall.
'So it does,' remarked the husband. 'How
money does slip through one's fingers^ ' I would
not have believed it. But where is the balance?
Where are the five dollars and a half' Even
that is too much to lose. Let me see.'
Mr. Ilall thought for a moment, and then his
thumb mul finger gave a sharp crack, and he exclaimed?
'Yes! That's it! I paid my barber's and my
boot black's bills, which added together, make
just five dollars and a half. Well, I declare! It
is astonishing! Would any one have thought
it ? ITow -dn*n. pfa>-[ could no"?r
see a dollar. Money melts out of my pockets
like snow before the fire. I wish in my heart,
you would take it and see, if you can make it go
any further than I do.'
M^s. Hall did not reply for some moments,
and then she said?
'I will do so, provided you let mo manage
in in;' nu'n w?iv fnr -i ViVii" and also imv

vided that you will bo content with live dollars
a quarter for your tobacco and cigars; also pro vided
that you will shave yourself, and black
your own boots, or let me do it for you; and also
take your luncheon from home instead of buying
it, by all which about sixty dollars a year
can be saved.'
'Sixty dollars! It don't cost half of that sum,
Harriet.'
'Count for yourself, Felix. "Why a shilling a
day for lunch amounts to thirty-seven dollars a
year.'
'So it does? IIow little things do count up.
Well, wife, if you'll Lake hold in good earnest, I'll
do just as you say for one year, and if you bring
down the cost of living as much as a hundred
dollars, I will let you manage money matters ever
after.' j
If I don't bring it down three hundred dollars,
I am mistaken,' replied Mrs. Hall, in a confident
tone; for light had suddenly broken into
her mind. The account which her husband had
given of three day's dispensation of money, under
his system, showed her where the leak was.
'Here arc twenty dollars to begin with, all
that I have left from my last quarter's salary, af
tor keeping three dollars and a halffor my tobacco
and cigars during the next three months.?
When it is gone, I will borrow as much as you
want to carry you on until I can draw more money.'
At the rate Hall was going on, it would have
taken little over a week to have entirely emptied
his pocket-book; but it was a mouth before his
wife asked him for a lresh supply.
fc^Qljeof Mrs. Hall's first acts was to buyblackj
n the bootblack.?
For a week, she brushed her hu*??rrfcr?j>ooL?.
every morning, before lie discovered that the bootblack

Five dollars a qua . i baccy, cigara, and
other lilttlc nick-uackcries, .Mr. Hall found to be
rather n limited income; but as he had agreed to
meet his extra expenses with this sum, ho felt
some pride in doing so. Iu order to acomplsh
it, however, he had to abate many glasses of wine
and mineral water, and limit himself to a certain
number of cigars daily.
At the end of the first quarter, Mrs. Hall received
one hundred and seventy dollars from her
husband. Eighty dollars sho had received before,
and as this had been borrowed by her husband
ho kept that amount from his three months
salary in order to pay it back.

pinching economy, Mrs. Hall managed during
the second quarter, to pay the rent, and a few
small, bills, and got through without asking her
husband for a cent more; so that when the salary
became duo again, she had a much larger sum
to start 'with. From that timo not even a ba?
I
kcr's bill was permitted to accumulate; and even
her milk bill was settled oucc a week.
Mr. ITall sometimes complained a little at
his wife's 'short commons,' as he called them, and
at being cut off from all pleasure-taking, but she
consoled him by telling him, good humorcdly,
to wait awhile, that there was a better time coniing.
The year for which Mrs. ITall had u' dertaken
to manage affairs at last came to a close, and one
evening she said to her husband?
'Here are my accounts for the year. They are
not very neatly kept, but I presume you will find
all correct.'
'Accounts! Have you kept accounts?' asked
Mr. TTnll.
'Oh, yes; to a penny.'
'Well, how stands the balance!'
'Something in our favor, I think. There isn't
a cent owed anywhere, except the balance ofyour
tailor's bill, and you know I had over a hundred
and fifty dollars to pay when I took the management
of things.'
'Possible!' said Mr. Hall, opening his eyes.
'Yes; and what is better, I have about fifty dollars
on hand.'
'Incredible!'
'It is true.'
'But how in the world did you do it!'
'Not bv starving you all, you will admit.'
'No, certainly?we have had plenty of good
wholesome food to cat; though I must own to
thinking, soinetiilies, that you indulged us in
little seasonable delicacies rather sparingly.'
' It had to be done, or else I could not have
got along on the reduced income of this year?
reduced by the necessity of paying off so many
little old bills.'
'But bow have you done it, Harriet? You
havn't given me the affirmative yet.'
' By following this simple rule, Felix, never to
buy anything that was not wanted, and being
very careful when a want presented itself, to see
whether it icas real or imaginary. Hereafter, I
hope you will follow the same rule, and if you
do, you can keep tho family on as little as I have
done.'
'Thank you, Harriet! returned Mr. Hall,
smiling; ' but I believe I won't supersede your
administration of affairs; although, I shall insist
upon one thing; and it is that you get a stout
girl of thirteen or fourteen to assist you. You
are working too hard.'
' Wait until next year.'
'No. It must be done now. We can afford
it. But, if you think we can't, I will give up
my tobacco and cigars in order to help meet the
extra expense.'
' Oh, no. I won't ask that of you,' said Mrs.
TTnl]. ~
' Then you must get the extra help.'
' Very well, if you iasist so strongly upon it,
T enrm/v-n it mnet Kn /InriA '
And it was done. Three or four years have
"passed. Air. Hall is quite as well dressed as before,
and his wife much better. Several articles
of new furniture have been added to their house.
Airs. Hall keeps a cook and a girl to help about,
and has a much more cheerful and less broken
down appearance. She doesn't work half .as hard
as she did. Add to all this the fact, that there
is not a cent owed anywhere, and from one to
two hundred dollars always lying by, and the
reader will agree with Mr. Hall, who has quite
changed his mind on the subject, that a man
can* get along on a thousand dollars: that is, if
ho have the right kind of a wife; and is willing
to let her manage things with prudence and economy
m
Genuine Foetrv.?There is so little genuine
poetry now-a-days, that it is quite refreshing to
meet with so beautiful a gem as the following.
iNonc but tuose who nave icit iuc u-iiucr p;i?sion,"
can fully appreciate the intensity of the
poet's " phclings." It of course must be surmised
that Miss Elizobcth?endearingly called
Betsey?was a charming girl, and well worth the
poet's adoration. Notice the beauty and sublimity
of the following lines:
" My love she is my heart's delight,
Her name it is Miss Betsey:
I'll go and see her this very night,
If heaven and mothcr'll let mo."
But, alas! for the mortifications and disappointments
that poets arc doomed to suffer. On
the headboard of the young man's bed, the
chamber-maid found, written in chalk, the next
morning:
'" I loved Miss Betsey, well I did,

A testv old gentleman was incessantly pes
tered by his neighbours witJi inquires after his
health; at last losing all patience with the most
assiduous of these inquirres, "Tell your master,"
said he to the servant, "with my compliments,
that I am pretty well this morning, and shall
continue so for 21 mornings to come."
Incidental Influence.
The following incident serves to show, that
the instruction imparted by Sunday school teachers
sometimes exorcises an influence beyond the
sphere of their own classes.
There was a girl in one of the Metropolitan
Sunday schools whose father was a printer. The *
character of his business required that certain
parts of his work should be issued early on each
Monday morning, and 011 this account he was
in the habit of working during the whole of Snn
j day. It appears that one Sabbath day, upon
the family sitting down to dinner, the father, as
i was his custom, called upon his child "to ask
the blessingthe girl at first seemed to hesitate,
but afterwards complied with his request; he
asked her however, why she had not asked the
blessing at once; to which she replied, "I. was
thinking of what the Teacher said this morning." *5
"What was that?" inquired the father. "Why,
that we could not expect God's blessing if wo
wilfully brofch his commandments; and just as '*
I was about saying grace I heard the men at
work down stairs, and could not help thinking
ice were breaking the fourth commandment, and
so had no right to expect Godjs blessing."
The parent was unable to reply to tire remark. . ^ "i
It may be that the circumstance of its coming 'J . >
from his own child helped to sharpen "the., arrow "
of conviction," but at any rate, his daughter's
answer was frequently in his thoughts, and he at
length determined to discontinue Sunday labor;
he carried out this resolution, and lias never had '
nfvnsinn fy? rnrrrnt if ovnn in a

view, lie soon began to value his Sabbaths, and
as his thoughts very naturally recurred to the - ,
means by which lie had been first led to do soj
he felt that, next to God, his thanks were due to ' ;
the Sunday school, as the place at which his
child had learnt that lesson, the repetition of
which had produced so powerful an effect on hi3
mind. This led him to feel that it was his duty . ; .
to give his exertions to the same system, in thie %
hope that he might be the instrument of sending . :
a similar message to some Either parent; the _
consequence was, that he joined a Sunday school, ,
and now, instead of being an habitual desecra- ^
tor of God's holy day, he has beeotnfitnn active,
zealous teacher.
The Jerusalem Above^?It is in heaven?
God's peculiar dwelling place. And being . ^
above and heavenly, it partakes of the nature of 3
heavenly things. Its unity is the unity of the' ' -^7 ^
spirit. The bond which holds all its children to- , -1
gcthcr in the membership of faith, is the bond - -'3
of peace. They arc all brethren, dwelling har- . .

forever and ever.
Being abovo and heavenly and spiritual, it is ' V
also everlasting. Its foundation stone is the J
promise of the spirit. Built upon that foundation,
the changes and adversities by which all
things human and earthly are overturned and made
to pass away, cannot affect it. It stands
safely upon the Kock of Ages. The offspring '%
of grace, by grace it is perpetually preserved.
Of it, the heavenly city, David declared tin spirit,
"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right
hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember
thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my
mouth; If I prefer not Jerusalem above my
chief joy."
It is also free. There the Lord who is spirit is
ever present and where the spirit of the Lord is,
there is Liberty. It is free from all sin and death
free to righteousness and life; and without fear,
is made perfect in love. The freedom it enjoys
is that which flows from security from all diaster
and safety from all enemies and which the
blessed favor of God affords, where there is "no
more death, neither sorrow nor crying neither
shall there be any more pain." ' ? . J
A Glorious Liberty by Christ.?We think
it is an easy matter to believe; but it is not.?
Indeed it is easy to presume; but for the soul,
in time of temptation and in the hour of death,
for fhe guilty soul to go out itself, and cast itself
upon the mercy of God, and to believe thqt tho
obedience of Christ is mine as verily as if I had
obeyed myself?there must be a strong sanctified
judgement, and a mighty power to raise
the soul, to cast itself so upon God's mercy in
Christ.?This faith does. Faith is said to savo
us; yet it is Christ that saves us. This faith frees
from the guilt of sin, because my sins were laid
upon Christ. Ilis death was the death of a surety
; thus I come to be free in justification. Again
tKnvn ic froivlnm in cnnrtilinntinn flmf io wIlATl
a man believes that Christ is his he receives the
Spirit that works an alteration in his nature.
The obedience of Christ frees from the condemnation
of sin, and the spirit of sanctitication
frees from the dominion of sin. From Christ, as
my head, T derive the Holy Spirit to sanctify my
nature.?Br. R. Sibbs.
Don't moralize to a man who is on his back.?
Help him up, set him firmly on his feet, and then

Answering Advertisements.?Mr. Jenkins
