But, nevertheless, at the bottom of
Marks heart, there was very substan-
tial stratum of certain quality called
common sense, trait, which, though i'll
was never set down in any chart of phre-
uoiogy, may very justly be called fac
ulty, and one, too which makes a very
striking difference among people as the
world goes. In Consequence of being
thus constituted, Mark, when he found
himself in love with. and engaged to-, a
very pretty girl, began to reflect with
more than ordinary seriousness on his
habits, ways and manners OF life. He
also took an accurate survey Of his busi-
ness, formed an estimate of his future
income on the soberest probabilities, aDd
determined to live a little even within
that. He also provided himself with a
small account book, with which he in
tended to live in habits of very close ac-
quaintance, and in this book he designed
to note down all the savings consequent
upon the retrenchment of certain little
extras before alluded to, in which he had
been in the habit of pretty freely indulg-
ing himself.
