Dvn't you know that the ~STDsBINsEs are
worth i've times as much as ever 1 wasp
Mrs. Jones did not know it; how should
she when her husband makes it a rule never to
speak OF his business to her, and she has not the
remotest idea of his income?
Thus multitudes of good conscientious women
and girls are extravagant from pure ignorance.
The male provider allows bills to DO run up in
his name, and they have no earthly means of
judging whether they are spending too much or
too little, except the semi-aunuai hurricane
which attends the coming in of these bills.
The frst essential in the practice of economy
Is a knowledge of ones income, and the man
who refuses to accord to his wife and children
this ~nformatio has never any right to accuse
them of extravagance, because he himself de-
prives them of that standard of comparison
which Is an indispensable requisite in economy.
As early as possible in the education of children
they should pass from that state of irresponsible
waiting to be provided for by parents, and be
trusted with the spending of some fixed allowance,
that they may learn prices and values, and have
some notion of what money is actually worth
and what il will bring.
The simple fact of the possession of q fixed
and definite income often suddenly transforms a
giddy, ex~travagant girl into a care taking, pru-
dent little woman. Her allowance is her own
she begins to plan upon it, to add, substract,
multiply, divide, and do numberless sums in her
little head. She no longer buys everything she
fancies; che deliberates, weighs, compares. And
there is room for self-denial and generosity TO
come in She can do without this article ; she
can furnish up some older possession to do duty
. little longer, and give this money to some
friend poorer than she ; and ten to one the girl
whose bills last year were four or five hundred
finds herself bringing through this year credita-
bly, on a hundred and fifty.
To be sure she goes without numerous things
which she used to have. From the stand point
OF a fixed income she sees that these are impossi-
Die, and no moro wants them than the green
cheese OF the moon. She learns to make her
own taste and skill takes the place of expensive
purchases. She refts her hats and bonnets, re-
trims her dresses, end in q thousand busy, earnest,
happy little ways, sets herself to make the most
u her small income.

II the Atlantic for August, Mrs. Stowe dis
courses Of economy. We find in the article the
following description of false economy: :.
Here Is q maa that viii buy his wife a diamond
bracelet and q lace shawl, and take her yearly to
Washington to show OF her beauty in ball
dresses, who yet will not let her pay wages which
will command any bat the poorest and most IN
Efficient domestic service. The woman II worn
out, her life made q desert by exhaustion conse-
quent on q futile attempt to keep up q snowy
establishment with only half the hands needed
for the purpose. Another family will give brill
liant parties, have a gay season every year at the
first hotels at Newport, and not be able TO afford
the wife q fire in her chamber in midwinter, or
the servants enough food 70 keep them from con-
stsntIy deBerting-
The damp, mouldy, dingy cellar-kitchen, the
cold, windy, desolate attic, devoid of any COM
fort, where the domestics are doomed to pass their
whole time, are witnesses TO what such families
consider economy. Economy in the view of some
= uudisguised slipshod sloyenliness in the home
circle for the sake of fine clothes TO be shown
abroad il is undisguised hard sel6shness TO ser
wants and dependents, counting their every ap-
proacb to comfort a needless waste, grudging the
Roman Catholic cook her cup of tea at dinner
on Friday, when she must not eat meat, and muir
muring that a cracked, secondhand looking-giass
must be got for the servants room what bust
ness have they to want to know how they look?
Some families will employ the cheapest physi-
clan, Without regard to bis ability to kill or cure;
some will treat diseases in their incipiency with
qGack medicines, bought cheap, hoping thereby
70 fend off the DOCTORS bill. Some women seem
TO be pursued by an evil demon Of economy,
which, like an ignis tatuus in n bog. delights
constantly to tumble them over into the mire of
expense. These are dismayed at the quantity of
sugar in the recipe for preserves, leave out a
quarter, and the whole ferments and is spoiled.
They cannot by any means be induced at any one
time to buy enough silk to make a dress, and the
dress finally, after many commissions and altera-
lions. must be thrown by altogether, as too scan
ty. They get poor needles, poor thread, poor
sugar, poor raisins, poor tea, poor coal. One
wonders, in looking at their blackened, shoulder
ing CRATES, in q freezing day, what the fire is
there at all fort certainly warns nobody. The
only thing they seem likely to be lavish in is
funeral expenses, which come in the wake of
leaky shoes and imperfect clothing. These fune-
raj expenses at last swallow all, since nobody can
dispute an undertaker's bill. One pities these
joyless beings. Economy, instead of a rational
act Of the Judgment, is a morbid moromania,
eating the pleasures out of life, and haunting
them to the grave.

Crops in the Eastern States.

Now that some of the crops are harvested
and the rest are rapidly approaching maturity
some defniteness Of the general yield. The
past season Is long to be remembered for the
severity Of the drought, which in many in
stances nullified the energetic labors of the
farmers and gave them nothing but discour-
agement for their pains. But the recent rains
have done much to relieve the severe effects Of
the early drouth, and the crop record for the
year will be a fair one after all. The hay crop
has been light in quantity everywhere. Bnt
it is the universal testimony that the quality
OF the limited yield was very much better than
there never was hay crop stored in better or =
der. So that the better quality of the hay and
its superior curing will do much to compen-
safe for the small quantity which was cut In
some Of the Western States there was an abun.
dance OF grass, more than could be cared for
by the limited number OF laborers left after the
demands Of war had been met.
The wheat crop, one of the staples in which
everybody with a mouth to fill has an interest
gave very fair yield and was harvested In
very fine order The corn crop will be light
everywhere. So much OF the energy OF tina
plants was expended in simply keeping alive
duSing the drouth, that now the rains ha va
come, they will scarcely be able to ear out
fully.
The potato crop in New England will be a
very fair one; Early planted fields OF course
yielded lightly, and the high prices that the
nrst iots carried 70 market always command
have been maintained longer than usual But
the rains came In season to benefit late planted
varieties in some degree, and there is no fear of
q potato famine. So far the quality of the
though there will be less bushels than usual,
there will be much less waste than some years,
when the ravages OF the rot have been so
severe. No mention is yet made in any quarter
or the appearance Of the rot and II, as many
have claimed, there is o connection between
that and wet seasons, we must escape 1t. The
prospect for apples i'm New England has been
at no time in the season large, and the drouth
sadly damaged those that escaped early frosts
and worms. But there is a tolerable prospect
tor late and winter fruit. In New York the
yield OF fruit will be small, but in New Jersey,
Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland the
crop is very large. The peach crop is especially
large, the trees in many cases having broken
down beneath their burdens. The apples are
small but fair, and free from worms, and in
un us nal quantity. Pears will be plenty enough
but small.-Springfeld Republicans. 5.o
