Economy in a Family.

There is nothing which goes so far towards
placing young people beyond the reach ofpov-
erty, as economy in the management of their
domestic affairs 1t matters not whether a
man furnish little or much for the family, if
there is continual leakage in his kitchen or
in the Parlor It runs away Rs knRMs net h4M sEc

bands duty to bring into The house, and it is
the duty of the wife to see that none goes
wrongfully out of it-not the least article
however unimportant in itself, for it establish
es precedent-nor under any pretence, for it
opens the door for ruin to stalk in, and he sell
dom leaves an opportunity unimproved. Il
man gets a wife to look after his affairs, and
to assist him in his journey through life-to
educate and prepare his children for a proper
station in life, and not to dissipate his property
The husband sinterest should be his wife's care,
and her greatest ambition carry her no further
than his welfare attd happiness, together with
that of his children. This should be her sole
aim, and the theatre of her exploits in the bo-
som of her family, where she may do as ttiucf1

be net true to him, what has he TO hope? If
he dare not place confidence in the companion
of his bosom, where is he to place it? A wife
acts not for herself only, but she is the agent
of many she loves, and she is bound to act for
their good, and not for her own qualification.
Her husbands good is the end to which she
should aim; his appreciation is her reward.

wildly to her Father in Heaven, that she might
meet her mother in the skies where peace and
puritv reigneth forever. Her pleadings were
for this alone; she had ceased to look in the
sordid and earthly world for happiness, and to
the future and better world she was fixing
the hope and the prospects for the enjoyment
of the riches of peace out Of which she had
been cheated in this, by base treachery Her
eye was fixed on the lighthouse of Heaven
and all her sails were bent and filled with the
breath ct ardent prayer to wait her to its
peaceful port.
She continued to reside at the little cottage
in the mountain where her mother left her and
was handsomely rnaintained by the annuity
which fell to her upon the decease Of her pa
rent. She had but few visitors for she was
unsocial herself and did not choose to be with
company, except with one single person, and
that was Emma Wingfeld. Although deceived
and ruined by her brother, yet, towards Emma
she entertained the highest respect, and the
two were frequently seen in the desolate cot
tage, or wandering along the banks of the
mountain ril, or sit ting together near the flow
er clad grave of the departed saint. Emma
sympathised with her and tried various means
to recall her wandering senses back; but her
endeavors were vain and futile; for her " NAL
ady was invisible and cureless," but the kind
and gentle hearted Emma used various means
to assuage her misery and bear portion of
her burdens; this Ellen saw, but alas she could
not cast share Of her grievous load on the
willing shoulders of her friend, and she must
groan under it ALL This she saw and tears of
generous sensibility dropped from her long
lashes in silent recognition of the kind sympa-
thies felt by her only friend in her behalf
These two beings spent a large share of their
time together and were the subject of common

Origin Of Words and Phrases.

'Windfall' origin of this term is
said to be the following.
Some Of the nobility of England, by the
tenure of their estates, were forbid to fell
any trees in the forest upon them, the tim.
Der being reserved for the use of the royal
navy. Such trees as fell without cutting
we're the property Of the occupant. A tor
nado was therefore, a perfect God-send in
every sense Of the term, to those who had
occupancy of extensive forests, and wind-fall
was something of great value.

murdered on the Oath ult., near Greenupsburg
