The Expense of q Wife.

A wife is decided addition to the demands upon ones purse. In that sense. however sensible and managing she may be, she is expensive. But everything worth having has it's price of one sort or another, and there are some thin gs which cost much without which life is hardly worth living.
 Said Thiers: Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry. They think they will give up such and such expensive pleasures Later on. when they discover that they cannot do so, and at the same time they lack the means to indulge, they complain that it is the extravaganza of their wives which causes the incon- venience."
 Which wise saying is applicable to men in other countries besides that of France.-New York American.

1hacksray's Satire.

Thackeray created quite erroneous impressions of himself by often tndulg- ing in irony in the presence of people who were incapable of understanding 1t. One curious instance which he gave was this: Thackeray had been dining at the Garrick and was talking in the smoking room after dinner with vari- ous club acquaintances. One of them happening to have left his cigar case at home. Thackeray. though dislik1ng the man. who was a notorious tuft hunter good naturedly offered him one of his cigars. The man accepted the cigar, but. not finding it to his liking. had the bad taste to say to Thackeray. II say. Thackeray. you won't mind my saying 1 don't think much of this cigar?" Thackeray, no doubt irritated at the mans ungraciousness and bear ing in mind his tuft hunting predilec- tions. quietly responded, You ought to, my good fellow. for it was given me by a lord" Instead. however, of detecting the irony. t.le aDlt immedi- ately attributed the remark to snob- bishness on Thackerasis part and to the end of his days went about declar- ing that "Thackeray had boasted that be had been given d cigar by lord

Exact Thom as.

Thomas Hoar, the devoted servant upon whom Gilbert White, the English naturalist. depended to carry out his garden plans and to look after his comfort in many ways, was noted for his exactness. Mir. H. c. Shelley, in "Gilbert White and Selborne," gives an amusing illustration.
 There was one occasion when Tholn- as came to report, "Please, sir, I've been and broke glass;"
 Broke a glass, Thomas! How did you do that?"
 "I'll show you, sir," te rejoined as he disappeared for moment. Returning with glass in his hand. he let it fall on the floor, remarking:
 "That's how broke it, sir.''
 "There, go along. Thomas; you are a great fool" said his master. adding to himself, "and was as great one for asking such foolish question"
