HO sEHoLD EXPENSES.

1t takes Major Noah to tell, in his own
easy and fascinating manner, how house.
hold expenses may, can, and should be re-
duced, in these piping times of panic and
pressure. We copy the following from
his Evening Star of a recent date:
eMy dear, | want some money for a
shopping tour" "My love, cannot af-
ford it, 81 do not call Often" Only
six times a week." That is but once
day, at any rate--but if cannot have il,
| cannot. suppose can fudge through
the Summer with the Spring fashions"
The discussion had become somewhat
in earnest-and half pout gently curled
the young wfe's under lip. The husband
was fond but not foolish--though some
will have it that the terms are Synonymous.
He proposed the terms of a compromise,
to which the wife. glad Of new employment,
acceded. He told her what he could ap-
proprate for the whole household expenses,
rent excluded, and putting the weeks al
lowance in her hands, installed her chan
celor ofthe domestic exchequer, and keep
or of the purse.
'.Now," said he, "if you can manage to
feed lis all comfortably, and still do your
private shopping-try it. Here is precisely
tie sum | have used weekly for housekeep-
ing alone, and it is as much as can spare. !"
The little wife soon discovered that the
price of beef was abominabie, and provided
cheaper substitute. SIR Loin was no
longer deemed essential three times IN a
week, and some very worthy commoners

YOUNG MECHANICS.

There is no class of the community tp-
on whom the future welfare of the. country
more essentially depends than upon the
rising generation of young mechanics. L
they are intelligent, sober, industrious and

Bargaining in one department taught the
lady to bargain in others. Having no oc.
casion to go shopping for amusement, she
went Just twice in week, for actual pur.
chases and those she made at a fair price.
The mere says SO of a fashionable milliner,
or dry goods clerk, did not induce her
to believe an article worth a hundred per
cent more than its value. She pinned
them down TO their facts and figures, and
made her purchases as if she wished TO
save money, rather than spend what she
had, and assault her husband for more. So
slipped the week-the happiest one for both
parties to the matrimonial copartnership,
they had ever known. lie attended to his
proper business down town-she had en-.
ployment about the hours which relieved
her of ennui, and cured her Of all inclina-

THE EXILED ANGEL.
rnon rnr rnrrcn OF nEnANern.

FROM THE FRENCH OF BERAN6ER.
Lady! for thee wake a loftier chord
To Gods revolted legionary, driven
By the stern thunders of the Almighty Word
Forlom and exiled from the fields of Heaven.
One, fairest, fraiest of the ruined band,
Hath still solace on that gloomy shore !;
He bears a Tyre celestial in his hand,
o blue eyed angel guard me evermore!
Hell echoed with the shout of scorn and ire,
AS, wearied of its proud and guilty throngs,
The angel sat apart, and DER his Tyre,
Mingled his tears with his repentant song.
Heaven took, at last, the mourning spirit forth
To thus our world, and thus propitlous bore
The muse of sweetest poesy on earth
o blue-eyed angel, guard me evermore
Coming, he shook his pinions, like bird
Wet with its weary fight thro' stormy skies,
On earth, strange glorious symphonies are
heard,
And wondering nations hail him as the rise.
Worship was harmony-no voice divine
Did Love or glowing Genius cease to pour
His perfumed incense round the solemn shrine
o blue-eyed angel guard me evermore !
The clamorous rage of Hell was vainly hurPd
Against & Spirit as he went, alone,
Softening the fate of men throughout the world
And marking tyrants on their guilty throne,
While his soft voice. with charm resistless flies,
Weakening to love all hearts on every shore,
God counts in Heaven the human tears he drges:
D blue-eyed angel, guard me evermore
Where now his halo, where his cherub wings!
Has Heaven reclaimed the exile to his rest!
But lady! thy sweet voice consoles and sings
In thee, the poet angel stands contest
Thy spring with flowers eternal shall be bright
Still at thy beauty's shrine all hearts adore
Expand thy pinions for glorious flight,
o blue-eyed angel guard me evermore!

THE ANGELS WING.
BY S. LOVER


There is German superstition, that when
4 sudden silence takes place in a company, an
angel at that moment makes circuit among
Them, and the first person who breaks the ST.
ence is supposed to have been touched By the
wing of the passing seraph. For the purpose
Of poetry, | thought two persons preferable to
many in illustrating this beautiful superstition.
When by the evenings quiet light
There SIT two silent lovers,
They say, while in such tranquil plight,
An angel round them hovers;
And further still old legends tell:
The first who breaks the silent spell,
To say a soft and pleasing thing,
Hath felt the passing angels wing.
Thus muslng minstrel strayed
BY the summer ocean,
Gazing on n lovely maid
With bard's devotion;
Yet his love he never spoke,
Till now the silent spell he broke;
The hidden fire to flame did spring,
Fann'd by the passing angels wing.
81 have loved thee well and long,
With love of Heavens own making
This is not a poets song,
But a true hearts speaking
| will love thee still, untired ~
He felt--he spoke as one inspired;
The words did from Truths fountain spring
Upwakened by the angels wing.
Silence Ger the maiden fell,
Her beauty lovelier making;
And by her blush, he knew full well
The dawn of love was breaking.
1t came like sunshine DER his heart
He felt that they should never part!
She spoke-and oh the lovely thing
Had felt the passing angels wing.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Mr.. WHITE-1 he character of Wash.
ington is only now beginning to be thor
oughly appreciated by Europeans-or, at
any rate, by Englishmen In the last DC.
tober number OF the Edinburgh Review,
a brilliant writer, SAID to be L5rd Brough-
am, closes series of mastery sketches of
the prominent men ofthe reigns of the two
last Georges, by highly wrought, yet
discriminating, eulogy, in which he styles
him the ''greatest man of our own, or of
any age the only one upon whom an
eplthet so thoughtlessly iavished by men to
foster the crimes of their worst enemies,
may be innocently ard justly bestowed"
In the fitness of patriotic pride and filial
reverence, his counuymen have always
entertained this opinion; but, we believe,
Lord Brougham is the first distinguished
EnglIshman who has come up to the
American standard, in his estimate of the
character of Washington.
The following tribute is from different,
but scarcely less distinguished, source. 1t
is from the pen of the Rev. William Jay,
of Bath, England. Mr.. Jay IS, perhaps,
the n ost distinguished minister of the Cos
pei, among the Dissenters in Great Brit
ain. His writings are read and apprccla-
ted by every denomination of Christians,
and few men have ever been the honorcd
instruments of more extensive good. The
verses have never appeared in print on
either side of the Atlantic. Is.
LINES,
| Written mpromptu, on seeing the picture of
Washjngton's villa at Mount Vernon.
BY REV. WIN. JAY, BATH, ENGLAND.
There dwelt the Man, the flow'r of human kind,
Whose visage mild bespoke his nobler mind.
There dwelt the Soldier, who his sword ne'er
drew,
! But in righteous cause to Freedom true.
There dwelt the Hero, who ne'er fought for
fame,
Yet gained more glory than a Caesars name
| There dwelt the Statesman, who, devoid of art,
Gave soundest counsels from an upright heart.
And O. Columbia. by thy sons caress'd,
There dwelt the Father of the realms he
blessed,
| Whono wish felt to make his mighty praise,
Like other Chiefs, the means himself to raise.
But there retiring, breathed in pure renown,
And felt a grandeur that disdained Crown.
