ECONOMY In a Family.

There is nothing, says a good writer,
which goes so far towards placing young
people beyond the reach of poverty, as
economy in the management of their do
mestic affairs. 1t matters not whether a
man furnishes little or much for his family,
# there is q continual leakage in his kitch-
On or in the parlor, it runs away he knows
not how; and that demon cries "More!"
like the horse-leeches daughter, until he
that provided has no more to give. 1t is
the husbands duty to bring into the house,
and it il the duty Of the wife TO see that
none goes %wrongfully out Of it. A man
gets q wife TO look after his affairs. and to
assist him in his journey through &fe; to
educate and prepare his children for a
proper station in life, and not to dissi.
pate his property. The husbands interest
should be his wife's care, and her great
est ambition should carry her no farther
than his welfare or happiness. together
with that Of her children. This should be
her sole aim, and the theatre Of her ex-
ploits in srhe bosom of her family, where
she may do as much towards making a
fortune as he can in the counting-room or
Workshop. II is not the money earned
that makes q man wealthy-it is what he
saves from his earnings. disqualification
in dress, or indulgence in appetite, or
more company than his purse can we'll
entertain, are equally precious. The first
adds vanity to extravaganza, the second
fastens q DOCTORS bill to a lorg butchers
account, and the latter brings intemper.
ance, the worst of all evils. in its ruin.
