HINTS ON ECONOMY.

Hoio shall zoe economise FL. AS 10 food,
buy the best, and when practicable, by the
quantity and never cook dish till the last
has been entirely eaten.
Some families waste more than they eat,
and we are pretty sure that economy in the
matter Of food does not depend so much
upon the buying as upon the spending oft.
0rWATRR, for drink, is the cheapest, and
we think the best.
2. Fuel. Make special efforts to be in
formed as TO the best means of warming
your room, and Of retaining all the heat
produced then procure your stove orgrate,
or whatever else, and be content TO use il
withom change till it is worn out. More
money is often spent in changes and altera-
tons than the fuel itself cost. DO not for
get, in cold days, TO keep Aie doors shut.
3. Clothing. Dress decently, nay well,
but never dress gaudily. And when you
have once got suit of clothes, wear them
out; even though the fashion should change
two or three times during tho PERIOD
Fashion what q word along side Economy!
Fashion! Economy! look at thcm and do
not forget that one is death to the other. A
good surtout, or nice shawl, is just as
warm a thing, whether the one is blue or
brown, or the other be white, red or Scotch
plaid. il will make but little difference
fifty years hence to any of us, how our
coats were cut, or how our dresses were
made ia A. ID. 1886.

THE DESERTED BRIDE.

lnE DCoEN Eli DNlDE.
Suggested by scene in the play of" The Hunch
by GEORGE P. MORRIS.
Love me !-No--he never loved mel"
Else he'd sooner die than stain
One so fond as he has proved me
With the hollow worlds disdain.
False one, go-my doom is spoken
And the spell that bound mo, broken!
We'd him .-Never.-He has lost me -
Tcars.--Well, let them fow!-His bride.--
No.-Thc struggle, life may cost me!
But he'll find that have pride
Love is not an idle flower,
Blooms and dies the self-same hour.
Titles, lands, and broad dominion,
With eimself to me he gave;
Stoop'd TO earth his spirits pinion,
And became my willing slave
Knelt and pray'd until he won me
Looks he coldly now upon met
migrate Never sure was maiden
Wronged SO foul as 1. With grief
My true broast is overladen-
Tears afford me no relief.
Every nerve is strained and aching,
AMI my very heart is breaking.
Love l him Thus scorned and sighted
Thrown, like worthless weed apart
Hopes and fears sear'd and blighted-
Love him Yes, with all my heart
With passion superhuman-
Consistency, "thy name is woman"
Love nor time nor mood can fashion,
Love ?-Idolatry's the word
To speak the broadcast, deepest passion,
Even woman's heart hath stirr'd!
Vain to still the minds desires,
Which consume like hidden fires
Wrecked and wrotchod, lost and lonely,
Crush'd by grief's oppressive weight,
With prayer for Clifford only,
resign me to my fate.
Chains that bind the soul I've proven
Strong as they were iron-woven.
Deep the wo that fast is sending
From my check its heathful bloom
Sad my thoughts us willows bending
Der the borders of the tomb.
Without Clifford not u blessing
In the world is worth possessing.
Wealth IA straw within the balance,
Opposed 20 love, twill kick the beam:
ndship-beauty- -
All to love as nothing seem!
Weigh love against all else together,
As solid gold against a feather.
Hope is fown-away DISCUSSES
Naught but death relief can give
For the love he little prizes
Cannot cease and Julia live!
Soon my thread Of life will sever
Clifford, fare thee well-for ever!

Joseph Lindsly (whose taste in the Sc

without; teeth) was detected by the private
watchman Of Fulton market making of
with leg of vcnison which he had flched
from one of the stalls. He could not deny
the ven!son and the magistrate could not de-
ny him commitment.
Charles +. Burt, who, by plea of lana
cy, but few days ago escaped the clutch
cs of the Sessions Court, before which he
was arraigned for grand larceny, had
been brought in for disordcrly and rio.ous
conduct, unbecoming even lunatic, ut the
house of James Ward. In conformity
with the order of the Court, he together
with surgeon dentist Chase, the surgical in
strument thief, was taken to the lunatic
asylum; but the authorities there finding
on examination, that the fellows were no
more crazy than those who sent them
there, refused to receive them, and their
friends were thus completely successful in
humbugging them out of the hands of jus.
ticc, and turning them loose again on the
community. Burt, as before stated, is a.
gain in custody; what the issue will be, re-
mains TO be seen. Chase is still at large.

So did our travellersi at each reply
the voice increasing its tone, they began
at last to yell with open mouths, and
would have used speaking trumpets could
they have had them at their command.
One Of them at last said:
Sir, were you deaf born or by accI-
dent?'
'What do you call deaf? Deaf yourself,
and with a Witness"
'Ah! good heavens! you are so very
deaf that our conversation will destroy
my voice for six weeks at least"
poor man, you believe that all the
world is afflicted with your infrmity.'
'Ah, sir! pity you sincerely, but do

The boy perceived that the conversa-
ton was about taking serious turn. He
spoke some words in low voice which
both the deaf gentlemen heard wonderful
" well-and which let them into the Sc.

at the ioke-but some difficulty, during
the remainder of the dinner, TO descend
to an ordinary diapason, after the vocal
efforts they had made.
