Of Mr. Cartwright. Bu, forty dollars was
an item in the calculation, and to Mr..
Cartwright n serious one. Every year hc
was finding il harder to meet the gradually
increasing demand upon his purse; for
there was steadily progressive enlarge
ment OF his family, and year after year, the
cost OF living advanced. lie was thinking
OF this. when his wife said:
