Worth the Experimentation your
TQifa

Yes, the only way is to tell your wife
how you stand. Show her your balance
sheet Let her look over the items. You
think it viii hurt her feelings. No. it viii
not do any such thing She has been taught
to believe that money was with you, just as
the little boys think it is with their fathers
terrible hard to be reached yet inexhausti
bic. She has guessed you were not SO pros
porous as you talked. But you have so be-
logged your money affairs, that she, poor
thing knows nothing about them Tell it
right to her that you are living outside your
income. Take her into partnership, and I'll
warrant you'll never regret it.. There may
be slight shower at first; but that's nat
ural.
Let her see your estimate; when you
come home again, she viii show you that
you have put her bills too high. True, she
had rather costly bonnet last winter. but
1t is Just as good as ever; a few shillings
will provide it with new strings, and reft it
little. The shape. she said, is almost ex
actly as they wear them now. And you
viii be surprised to see how much less ex
pensive she can make your own wardrobe.
She will surprise you with new vest-not
exactly familiar, somehow, looking as if in
another shape you had seen it before-yet
new as vest and scarcely costing dollar
where you had allowed FIVE. Old erayats
will experience renovation IN her hands,
coming out so rejuvenated, that nobody but
those that are led into the secret would sus-
pect that they are old friends in new shapes.
The dressing gown that you were going to
buy-out of what forgotten chest she has
gathered the material you cannot imagine
but there it is, comfortable and warm,
and just the thing you wanted for the long
winter evenings, that are coming on as fast
as the almanac will let them.
You will find wonderful change In her
tastes and appetite. Whereas she always
faneied what was little out of season, or
Just coming into market now, if beef is
dear, she thinks boiled mutton is delightful
-as tender as a chicken. If lambs rise,
and fish are plenty, she thinks a striped
bass, or fried sole, good occasionally.
Before you have thought much about it,
you will find yourself spending most of
your evenings, too, so full of domestic en-
ioyment and fireside pleasures, that you will
look with wonder on the record of last year. S
expenses, and marvel that you found time
or relish for the costly entertainments that
seriously taxed your pocket. If, too, like
many, your outgoes threaten to exceed your
incomes, be sure and tell your wife of it !;
not in tone or manner that will lead her
to think you don't want her to buy what is
really necessary for winter, but just as if
you wanted a counsellor In the day of your
trouble and if she does not come up heart
and soul, and most successfully, to your
relief, put me down for no prophet.

A Literary theft wen Repaid:

The publishers of the cheap class of Brit
ish periodicals have long been in the habit
of helping themselves to American works,
giving them new titles, and then publishing
them as original. Even the better class of
English magazines do such things contin
ually, and it is often rather difficult to tell
in reading British periodical whether its
contents are American or English. Our
own publishers, it is well known, have long
been in the habit of doing the same thing,
and occasionally ''put their foot in it. by
copying from an English publication story
that has already been published and copy
righted on this side of the Atlantic. Such
an accident befell the publishers of one of
our largely circulated weekly papers very
recently. They found q capital story IN
one of the London papers, made it their own,
gave new name to it, advertised it exten-.
sively, and after having published part of it
discovered that it was the production of an
American author who had published and
copyrighted it some years ago in Philadel-
phia. The author forbid the publication of
the remainder of the story, and SO the mat
ter rests for the present.

ACaution to Jurzmen.

The following capital anecdote of the
adroitness of a lawyer lately appeared in an
English paper:
t.On one occasion he was counsel for a
poor girl who had been charged with rob-
bing her master. 1t happened that just be-
fore Wilkins rose to address the jury, one
of the latter had been blowing his nose so
powerfully, as to produce red and watery
appearance about his eyes. This incident
was turned adroitly to account by the learn
ed advocate, who exclaimed, Il perceive one
of the jury has been weeping, and, follow
ing up the words in tone of sympathy for
the accused, he so worked upon the feelings
of the jury, that veritable tears at last did
respond to his appeal, and the contagion
quickly spread through thecourt. The con-
sequence was the acquittal of the prisoner
(guilty or not), who never imagined before
that she had been so wronged. Rarely has
prompter sense of means to an end been
shown by any man with an end to gain than
this anecdote attributes to Wilkins. We
can all see how clever it was now it's done !;
but to do it on the spur of the moment show
ed wonderful union of nice perception and
unscrupulous activity. It's a gift, Sami-
vel, it's gift as old Weller said, and per-
haps a gift an honest man would rather be

Farming A Profession.

Strange idea many viii think that farm
ing should be ranked among the profess
ions The so-called professions are esti-
mated in an inverse ratio TO their real meE-
its. Hence the idea is fostered In the
minds of young men, that the sure road TO
wealth, greatness, honor and renown lies in
the professions. A few names that have
risen higher in the chariot of fame. are ever
before their minds producing an exaggerated
impression in relation to their importance.
The sad failure of thousands who have not
succeeded in the professions is entirely over
looked as well as the fact that they are
not as well qualified to contend with the
stern realities of life and endure the hard
ships and trials incident to a life of activity.
Young ladies foster the same impression,
by rejecting the hands of toll, that are lay
ing sure foundation for future compe-
tence; and give preference TO the dandy,
the fop, and the individual whose study and
action is mere exterior show and deception.
Since it has become common to advertise
for congenial minds, intelligent females ad-
vertise for farmers or mechanics, well
aware that their labor leads to the general
interests of the community. Since light is
beaming forth from so many sources the
producing classes which have former
" absorbed the avails of the producing
classes are being looked upon by the intelh-
gent, as mere drones III society. Among
the producing classes the farmer ranks high
est. because the agricultural products are
the basis of our existence. National wealth
increases or declines in proportion to its
agricultural productions. Science has ac-
eomplished much for the agriculturist in
the last ten or twelve years in developing
his resources. The number of well sus-
tanned agricultural publications, with the
numerous State and County Fairs. indicate
that there is a, better day coming. There
is no business which offers more sure and
honorable rewards to the intelligent and
enterprising young man than agriculture.

thus far very remiss, and expressed con-
triton for the fault confessed ending with
offering himself to the lady. telling her she
could not certainly reject him after pointing
out to him his heinous offence.
The lady replied that she would be most

The Sugar swindle.

The base trick of greedy spectators in
raising the price of sugar so high as to
make it impossible for poor people to use
it, is not likely TO be successful much
longer. The announcement that firm in
New York had invested $500, 600 in sugar
from Manila, on which they would realize
quarter of million, was followed by an
other to this effect :-"During four days of
last week, no less than 81 vessels arrived
In New York with entire cargoes of sugar
and molasses, and immense amounts are
now held on speculation, which sooner or
later must come into the market" In
Portland, this week, large amounts of SUI
gar, and 2, 500 hogsheads of molasses have
been received. The markets in New York
and Boston are inactive. Buyers will not
pay the prices that holders demand, and the
inevitable consequence will be that specu-
lators will burn their fngers-the biters
viii be bit. The facts of the sugar ques-
ton are simply these last year there was
more sugar cane produced than was ever
known in any previous season the present
year the maple sugar crop has been enor-
mous-equal to one-fourthf the entire con-
sumption of the country. 1t is admitted on
all hands that the cane fields of the south
are laden with a precious and abundant crop;
glutted. Buyers win not come into the
market and pay the. price demanded the
trade is inactive notes of spectators are
maturing the season is advancing, and the
new crop IS coming forward rapidly. I'm
der these circumstances, the present exorbi-
tant prices must decline.-Bu6alo Rep.
