There is nothing which goes so far to-
wards placing young people beyond the
reach Of poverty, as economy in the man
agenent Of their domestic affairs. Il is
as much impossible to get ship across
the Atlantic with half dozen outs start
ed, or as many bolt holes in her hull, as
to conduct the concerns of family with
out economy. 1t matters not whether a
man furnish little or much for family, i
there is continual leakage in the kitchen,
or in the parlor, it runs away, he knows
not how; and that demon, WASTE, cries
more, like the hor5eleech's daughter, un-
til he that provides has no more to give
1t IS the husbands 5 duty to bring into the
house, and it IS the duty Of the wife to see
that nothing goes wrongfully out of it
? It the least article however unimportant
in itself, for it establishes a precedent :;
nor under any pretence for it opens door
for ruin to stalk in and he seldom leaves
an opportunity unimproved. 4 man gets
a wife to look after bis affairs; to assist
him in his journey through life; to edu-
cate and prepare his children for proper
station in life; and not to dissipate his
property. The husbands interest should
be the wife's care, and her ambition should
carry her no farther than his welfare and
happiness, together with that of her child
ren. This should be her whole aim, the
theatre Of her exploits is the bosom Of her
family, where she may do as much in
making a fortune as he possibly can do in
the counting house orwork-shop. It's not
the money earned that makes man
wealthy, 1t is what is saved from his earn
ings. A good and prudent husband
makes deposit Of the fruits of his labor
with his best friend; and if that friend be
not true to him, what has he to hope I?
Ii he dare not place confidence in the wife
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 at which she should aim
his appreciation is her reward. Self
gratlhcation in dress, or indulgence in ap-
petite, or more company than his purse
can entertain, are equally pernieious.-
The first adds vanity to extravaganza !;
the second fastens doctors bill to long
butchers account, and the latter brings
intemperaDce, the worst Of all evils, in It's
train.

How LADY CANvAssED II IRELAND
"a correspondent of the Waterford Mail
gives the following anecdoto of the la,e
Election for Clare:
The contest turned wholly upon person
(al popularity, and Calcutt, who is a farmer
like, Irish gentleman, was better calculat-
|ed to win upon the people than the fash
tonable young captain of crack corps
) lis wife, too, would make the fortune OF
aqy candidate. a fine, dashing woman,
! he rode about the country in a carriage
with her husband in his canvassing expe-
Ilitions; and, when he was one day in a
public house, seeing parish committee,
ind she was outside in the baroucEe,
Awaiting his return, the frieze coats gath
Pred around the vehicle, and giving three
theers " for her honor" called upon her
o make a speech. Prompt as lightning,
Ihe replied " | won't trouble you, my
friends, with my oratory, but I'll sing you
song, which an Irishman, with music in
is soul, would any day prefer to a speech;'
nd with that, in a clear and pleasant voice
he struck up, ." let Erin remember" and
blIowed the dlty with several other mel
dies Of Tommy Moore. A person who
sitnessed the scene assured me there was
o.hing incongruous about it; the lady
aug her best, aud entered into the spirit
II her song, and the frieze coats listened
ntranced From that moment forth, dur
hg the canvass, she never appeared in
|ublic without having to sing a song.

4 CURIOUS REToRr-Hon. Alexander
Ii. Stephens, Of Ga, was once running for
Congress, with an opponent of unusually
large stature, and on the stump one day
the discussion became unusually warm
Whereupon the large man said to Steph-
ems, who was small and delicate:
why, [ could button your ears back
and swallow you whole"
And ifyou did," retorted Mr.. Steph-
ems, "you would have more brains in your
stomach than you ever had in your head"
The laughter which followed effectually
dlsslpated the i'll humor which was fast
gaining ground.
