Presently came along the dinner hour 1t
duly found Tom Turnabout, esq, ut home, and
at the table.
All during the meal he anxiously scanned the
features of his wife, trying his very best to
imagine her as feeling extremely happy in en-
Joying the privilege of paying her dear hus-
bands bills; but he succeeded in reading no
such expression on her face; he looked for the
slightest trace of it in vain
1t was too perpexing There sat Euphrasia
worth her fortune, over against him at table
a mountain Of gold, as it were, within his
reach, but he not able to pick of even shiny
scale from its surface. She was as calm as a
delicious cool summers morning; he, on the
other hand, was burning up with disappont-
ment and chagrin.
He declared within himself that he could
stand 1t no longer. 1t was few steps beyond
human endurance. Better die at once than
live long in this suspense.
So, at last, he meekly remarked to his wife
"Euphrasia, was there anything brought
here this morning for me ?"
eyes, dear" she replied, sthere were three
bills for horse hire, and confectionery, refresh
ments, and one thing and another but did
not read them particu!ary-you know that's
not lady's business"
e"Was there a bill for furniture, too" in
quired the agitated Tom
eyes, dear; paid that and took receipt
but the others, your personal matters, you know,
those ! carefully placed in your escraoire where
you could readily find them when you wished
to- hope you do not consider me too inquisi-
tive in just looking at them to see what they
were!"
Tom was not possessed of any too much phi
losophy, and this last serious sally of his wife
quite upset what little he had. Swallowing his
dinner as fast as he could with safety do it, he
pushed for his Office Ere long his old friend
Dick made his appearance.
"Well!" said Dick, chow goes it, Tom?"
"lts no 60" surlily answered Tom.
''How now? We're the bills paid?''
Tom explained the whole
His friend admitted that it would be exceed
ingly hard to get round woman who under
stood herself and him so well, especially when
she held th~purse- strings.
Tom gave it up altogether. That afternoon
he spent in rejecting upon the extreme worth
lessness of his relying for an independent living
upon another, and in forming strong resolu
| ton to go ahead and do something for himself.
| The lesson he learned chanccd to be most
| valuable one, which many married lady may
at her leisure give her husband to his decided
advantage.
Tom Turnabout, esq, became respectable
member of his profession, able to earn sufficient
to pay his carriage and oyster-house scores, Mt
least, and at home he never knew what trouble
meant.

ExTRAYAGAHcE IN LIvING.-"One cannot won
der that the times occasionally get hard, I" said a
venerable citizen, the other day ''when one seea
the way IN which the people live and ladies dress,
we thought there was good deal OF truth in
what the old gentleman said Houses at from
hve hundred to a thousand dollars rent; brocades
at three dollars a yard; bonnets at twenty; and
shawls, cioaks &c. &c. from fifty dollars up, are
enough to embarrass any community, which in
duges in such extravagances as extensively as
Americans do For it is not only the families
OF realized wealth, who could afford it, that spend
money III this way; but those who are vet Ia
boring To make afortnne, and who, by the chances
of trade, may fail of this desirable result after
all. Everybody almost wishes to live now-a-
days, as if already rich. The wives and daugh-
ters OF men not worth two thousand a year,
dress as richly nearly as those of men worth ten
or twenty thousand. The young, too, begin where
| their parents left off Extravagance in q word
Is piled on extravaganza, till
"Aps DER Alps arise"
The folly of this is apparent. The sums thus
lavished 60 for mere show, and neither refine
the mind nor improve the health. They crafty
vanity, and that is ALL BY the practice of
wise economy, most families might, in time, en-
title themselves to such luxuries and then, in
dulgence in them would not be reprehensible.
II there are two men each making a clear two
thousand year, and one lays by thousand at
simple interest, while the other spends his entire
income, the first will have acquired fortune,
in sixteen years, sufficient to yield him an in
come equal to his accustomed expenses, while
the other will be as poor as when he started in
life. And so of larger sums! In fine, any man,
by living on half of what he annually makes, be
it more or less, can, before he is forty, acquire
enough, and have it invested in good securities,
to live for the rest of his life in the style in
which he has been living all along Yet h.

THE WAY TO GET RID OF A JEALOUS HUSBAND.
"a married couple, NJ and Madame Lanier, kept
a curiosity shop i'll the quarter of the Bourse.
The husband had got to the wrong side of fifty;
the wife was scarcely twenty-four She found her
spouse jealous tyrant, who watched ali her
actions, and refused her the most legitimate
amusements. Business going badly, they thought
it prudent to obtain Il separation de biens. They,
however, continued each in their own name to
deal il more or less authentic curiosities but
neither prospered, and they were obliged to shut
up their respective shops. Their creditors were
ciamorous, and obtained warrants for their ar
rest.
q United by misfortune, the couple secreted
themselves in the village ofBoulogne, near Paris.
The commercial misfortunes of NJ. Lanier in
creased his bad humor and jealousy; and ao-
cordinely violent quarrels ensued between them.
These attracted the attention Of the neighbors,
and caused the bailiffs to find out their retreat.
They were arrested finally, and taken off to
the Debtors Prison. The husband alighted first
and crossed the dreaded threshold. After he
was duly inscribed on the books, he waited, ex-
pecting his wife to join him to be inscribed also
| But she drew forth small pocket book, and
said Tranquility to the baiIiffs, AN instant, gem
tlemen, and | will pay you This coup de theatrs
plunged every one into astonishment. She, how
ever, calmly demanded the amount Of her own
debt and COSTS and paid the whole. She then,
with look Of scorn at her husband, said, That
is the way, sir, TO get rid of jealous husband
and stalked triumphantly away"
