Can’t afford it, Maria.’ ‘ But you might if you would only think so Walter,’ plead young wife. ‘I can’t do it,’ the husband returned, very emphatically. 4 lt would cost two or three dollars, at the yery lowest, to put up such a gate and the old bars will an swer every purpose.’ f No, they won’t, Walter. The neigh bor’s children very often leave the bars down, and then stray cattle cor»e into the garden. We may loose more than the price of a gate in one hour if a cow jhoald happen to get in when I am away.’ 4 1 should like to know who. leaves the bars down,’” Said ■ Waiter, very thijeaton ipgly. ‘The same children might leave a gate open.’ ' ‘But we can hare a gate made to; close of its own accord, with a weight; or a spring,’ suggested the wife. 4 John S'ilea has had a gate put up in his yard.’ ‘But 1 aip’t Johh Niles* my dear.’ Walter wished his wife to remember. 0 'SO AiM. > 1 But Ms family ia as large as yours, and his wages are not so high.' ‘ Never mind about that. I tell you I can’t afford it—at any rate, not a\ present.' And with this Waiter started iff to his Vork. ■ . Walter Gray was a young ma>, about thirty; an industrious mechanfy; had been married some eight years; aid had an interesting family. He mean tit o pro vide well' for those who depended upon him, and in a measure he did so. But there were many little comforts, which, at times they really needed, and in the end might have proved a source of saving,* And more to it might hav* ad ded to his happiness, had he felt aHe to grant these little requests. But he couldn’t afford it:—at least so he thought; gind whether he thought so with sonnd judgment the sequel will show. . The gate which his wife had beenso anxious to,have put up, Was needed at the entrance to the garden, back of the house, where there was only a pair of short bars. The children often came' through there, and sometimes - left the way open behind them. In short, there were many wayi in which those bars were apt to be left down, and Maria Gray had very often to leave her work to drive out the cattle that got in. It was only by extreme watch fulness on her part that the garden vtas preserved. x She had spokeu several times to-, her husband about it, but he felt that he couldn’t afford it. She mnst kef.p her eyes upon the spot, and see that the bars were kept shut. .Only a few days after this, Mrs. Gray asked her husband if he was going to hire a pew in the church for the following year, and he told her that he did not think be should. ‘But you can hire half of one. We can have half of Mr. Niles’ pew for five dollars.' ‘ I can’t afford it; ? was Walter's reply. ‘ I should get no great good from the meetings, any way.’ ‘Bon’t say so, husband. Suppose cv ery|>ody should feel like that. You cer tainly,Wouldn’t wish to live, and bring up your children where there were no relig ious influences. And if you reap the benefit of good Christian institutions, you certainly ought to feel willing tp help to support them/ j [ ‘So I would be' willing, if I could af ford it; hut I can’t/ Mrs. Gray looked ,vciy serious, and .seeped to hesitate as though there yfjsis a subject upon her mind, which she felt deshpafcc about broaching } but it had oc cupied her thoughts too long and! she de termined to let it out,. \ ‘Walter/she said, a little tremulous, but still resolutely,, ‘.ypu have ten dollars a week/ ' ' ‘Andbow much of that does it take to fted us/ ' ADA.

I only know that it takes;it all to feed and clothe us and pay up the interest on the house.’ ‘lhaynt had a new dress since last tall; and I was reckoning up yesterday how much we had spent for the children, and I found It to be only fifteen dollars for tlie last tjto months. I have forked over some of cousin John's clotlies for Charles, andlLuciiida jumps into Mary’s dresses as the latter outgrows them. ‘That’s all very well,’, replied Walter, a little testily. “ I understand my own business, and I know just what I can af ford and what I can’t,. While I have the payments to j make on my house, I must economize —l mitst economize /’ he re peated, very decidedly. ‘ And I would have you ecomomize, re turned the wife; but do not forget that all is not economy which we may call so. I think that to hire half of John Niles’ pew would be a source of economy in comfort Oud lasting good. It would be five dollars laid out to a good advantage— sure* to re turn a heavy interest to us and our chil dren. And I think it might be a. source of great saving to pnt up a good gate at the back—’ lor Ada ‘Stop!’ interrupted Walter, with a nervous motion. ‘ You’ve said enough about this, I know my means.’ ° ‘ Lei me say one word,’ urged Maria.—. Iherc was an earnestness in her tone which caused her husband to stop and listen. ‘lf yojn will give me five dollars a week, I will agree to furnish all the pro visions for the houshold, and clothe my self and children. I will do this for one year. That will leave you three hundred and sixty dollars with which to clothe yourself and tmake- your payment on tlie house. On the house you have -only to pay a hundred doMiyrs, with interest for two years, which will leave you a hundred and forty-eight dollars for your clothes and —other expenses.’ Walter was upon: the point of denying this result of the case, but he saw, upon a moment's reflection, that from his wife’s statement, the deduction was correct, so he denied the -esatement. ‘lou cannot furnish the food, and clothe yourself and children, for the sum you have named,’ he said. Thereupon Maria sat down and made know a few facts to him that had been hidden within the mysteries of her own housekeeping. She was not long in prov ing to him that during the past year, the items of expenditure within said limits had not averaged five dollars per week, Walter said ‘ popb !” and then he ad ded ‘nonsense V and then he left the house. ‘ There mast be some mistake/ he said to himself, after he had pot away from the house ; and he really believed there was a mistake. ‘ Have a glass ofjSoda, Bill ? Come Tom •p-have a glass ?’ ‘ Don’t caro if I do/ said Tom and Bill ‘ Have some, Ned ?’ And Ned said, yes. So the clerk pre pared four glasses of soda, for which Wal ter Gray paid twenty-five cents. ‘ Let’s have a game of ‘seven up for the oysters,” said Bill, after the day’s work was done. , The game was played, and Walter lost, so he paid a dollar for four oyster suppers —suppers which none of them needed, and which did them more harm than good. ‘ Have a cigar, Waller?’ asked Tom, Walter said yes; and in return he paid for four glasses of a}e. _ One evening they met, after work, and Ned proposed that they should ' toss up’ to see who should pay lor the chowder. ‘Come John, —won't you come in ? ! he said addressing John Niles who stood by.. ‘No—guess not,’was John’s reply. 1 You’d better. Its only for the chowd er —for five if you come in.’ ‘ 1 can’t.’ ‘ It’s of no use to ask him/ spoke Wal ter, in rather a sarcastic tone. ‘He don’t spend his money in that way.’ * John’s face fiushhd, and his lips trem bled, but he restrained the bitter words which were struggling upon his tongue, and turned and left the shop. ‘ He’s a moan fellow/ cried Tofu, loud enough for Niles to,hear him. ‘Tight as the bark of a tree,’ added Walter in a tone equally loud. John Niles heard the remarks, but did not come back. The four remaining men ‘ tossed up’„ and the lot fell upon Walter and Tom. Then they ‘ tossed it off,’ and it fell upon Walter, 'who paid four shillings for the chowder. ' - : Walter started for home about nine o’- clock, and on his way lie was overtaken by Niles. x ‘Walter,’ said the latter in a kind but earnest tone, ‘X want to speak with you. You have wronged fee this evening, ■ and I wish you to understand' me. For the Opinion of BilX Smith and Ned Francis, I care not, but I do not wish you to mis apprehend me. We;live too near together, ana I would not loose your gojd opinion.’ ahead,* returned Walter, who was sensiWoof iho fact that his com panion was ope of jthc best kindest neighbors in the world- W ,; v ‘You sap] I was mean.’ ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, FJiMmtKT 3, 1859. [INDEPENDENT in everything.] 1 ‘ No, no, —’twas not I who said that.’ ‘ Well, you said I was ‘ tight as the bark of a tree.” Walter could not deny this, so John proceeded— . ‘ I refused to join you in your little game for three reasons, either one of which would have been sufficient to deter me. : I have resolved not to engage in any such games of hazard. Second : I did not want any chowder. And third : 1 could not have afforded to pay for five extra suppers, if the lot had fallen upon me/ ‘ Couldn’t have afforded it ?’ replied Walter, with a slight tinge of unbelief in the tone: ‘No/ returned the other, ‘I could not. I used to be on hand for any such game, and I thought it ’twould be mean to refuse, but I have learned better. Let me tell you how I first came to see the folly of being afraid to spend my money for noth ing. Shall I tell you V 4 Certainly/ returned Walter, who al ready began to see something. ‘/\\ell, pursued Niles, ‘ one noon, as I was going away from home, my wife asked me lor a dollar. She wanted it to buy ! some cloth with. I esked her if she could j not get along without it. 1 bad only ' three dollars with me, and I hated to let j one of them go. She said she really need ed the cloth, but if £ hadn’t the money she could wait. I knew she was disap pointed, but I thought she could tret alon**, and I went away. That evening we went into a saloon, and we hagl a fine sociable time. It cost me just one dollar and a hall. I paid the money willingly—with out even a thought ol objection—and then j 1 went home. When 1 entered tho hall. 1 I heard wy wife trying to pacify our old- I cst Oaild. ’1 he h;tle thing had expected, a new dress which Lad been promised her, and felt badly because she had not got it. ‘ urged my wife, as the child sobbed in her disappointment. ‘ Papa hasn’t got the money now ; but he’ll have some by-and-by, and then you shall have i a new dress. Poor Papa has to work Lard. ‘The words smote me to the heart. 1 could not afford a dollar to dress my little child, but'could afford any amount fur the i useless entertainment of others. The dol- i lar which I could not got when she asked ! for it, I paid almost twice-fold for nothing. • Dut it learned me a lesson. 1 opened uiy j eyes and I have kept them open. On the j very next morning I offered mv wife the j dollar, but 1 could not afford anymore for the beer man. 1 had not dreamed how much I was wasting, but when i stopped up the leak, and allowed my funds to flow into their proper channel, I soon found I could afford every reasonable comfort mv wile and children needed. So £ stick to ! the principles-which proved so beneficial j to myself and family. All ! what's that i There's an animal in your garden V,’alter.’ I They had reached the garden fence, and j by the dim starlight, W alter could sec a ■ horned besst trampling among hi.; sweet j corn. The barfc had cither been left down or hooked down, and a stray cow had got in. They drove her cut, and then Niles went home. Walter saw that the beast had done considerable damage, but he was not angry, for he had something of more importance to think of He went and sat I down beneath an apple tree, and pondered, j ‘Bless me, if she hasn’t put the case j down about square !’ he said to himself at j the end of some minutes meditation. I ‘ Let me see,’ he pursued, there's sixty seven cents for chowder—fifty cents for ale—fifty cents for soda. And that's within the last three days. A dollar and sixty-seven cents. Is it possible 1 Over a hundred dollars a year! and yet I can’t afford two dollars for a gate, nor five dol lars that my family may have religious instruction for a year! Walter Gray— ■l think you had better turn over a neic leaf.’ And Walter Gray did turn over a new leaf. On the next day he did two things thereby astonishing his wife ; and refused to toss up for the ale, and thereby aston ishing a crowd of expectant thirsty ones. For a month he pursued this course, and by the expiration of that time he could fully appreciate the blessings that were dawning upon him. lie discovered that he could afford everything that the comfort of his family demanded : and in arriving at this result, he had only to cut loose those things which he really could not af ford; It was a wonder to him how he oould have been so foolish. When at the end of the year he had paid his note, and had ninety-twordollars left, he felt at and as if there must be some mistake : but when his wife went over the household expenditures with him, and showed him that all they needed had been bought-and paid for, he saw just how it was. He saw that for years he had been wasting his substance; and depriving himself and loved ones of the comforts they needed— hot intentionally, hut through the same mistake that leads thousands into the same course. But he did so no more. Sometimes even now, Walter Grny says-r-‘ Can't afford it,' and he snys it verr too, but it is not wben bis Wife and children ask for comfort and joy, nor yet wben the needy poor ask for J “dp and e’ vrity—for he can afford all ' ' \ :r. ( that; but it is when the wild speculation, or the loose companion, ask him to engage in some game of hazard which may rob himself and family of their substance.—— 1 hen he says—and he repeats it if need be. ‘ Can’t afford it.’ There floated about the pipers a story of a Cincinnati couple who; had not ex changed a word during twenty years of married life. They were not mutes, how ever. The' Baltimore Dispatch tells of a similar instance : —The parties were weal thy and highly respectable. They had a numerous family of children, who had grown up and were all in flourishing cir cumstances, and troops of grand-children, who frequently visited them. I They were falling into the sere and yellow leaf, and were both tottering to the tomb at the age of nearly eighty; but, though they had lived under the same roof, eaten at the same table, entertained the same friends, received 1 ' together the frequent visits of their children and grand-children, they had not interchanged a word for for ty years'. Jo almost every one the cause was a mystery, and an impenetrable onej for neither husband nor wife would bear from any person the slightest allusion to thei subject. \et there was one, an old ser vant, ahpost ds old as her master and mis-, ? ho know, but kept the secret! faithfully. It was whispered, however* that jealousy was the cause;’ The hus band had found in tho possession of his; wile some letters from a former suitor that she had heedlessly, perhaps thoughts lessly preserved. Impetuous; and unjust! accusations followed. The indignant wife' told her jealous husband she would never speak to him again, but for the sake of ! her children would not leave him. She 1 kept her word with persistent obstinacy, and ho followed the same course. They appeared absolutely indifferent to each other’s existence At length the old man died. Tho wife had not come near him in bis last sick ness, and she even came not to look upon his corpse until they were about closing ■ho coffin, and bearing him from the house m which they had dwelt so singularly to gether for nearly half a century, when, with a firm though feeble step she entered the room, walked up to the coffin, gazed a few moments at his features, now mo tionless in death, and, without a word, a tear, or even a shadow of an expression on her wrinkled face, went back, unassisted, to her appartment. The funeral took place, and duribg the absorbing proceed ing? of the time, she was left alone. After the funeral cortege had departed, and was out of sight, the old servant repaired to the room of her mistress. She noticed she was sitting very still in her chair, looking apparrently out of the window. Seeing her continue motionless, shd spoke to herp there wijs no answer. She went to her —shi was dead ! A Speech on Scolding Wjvos. At a Young Men’s Debating Society, somewhere out in Illinois, the question of discussion was, “ Which is the greatest ev)J —a scolding wife or a smoking chim ney/” After the appointed disputants had concluded the debate, a spectator rose and begged the privilege of making a few remarks on the occasion. Permission being granted, he delivered himself in this way : “ Mr. President—l've been almost mad listening to the debate of these youngsters. They don’t know anything about a scold ing wife! Vvaittyi they have had one upwards of eight yeaps. .and hammered and jammored aiicKjawed ‘at all the while wait until they have been be cause the fire wouldn’t burn, because the oven was too hot, because the cow kicked over milk; because the sun shined, because the hens didn’t lay, because the* butter wouldn t come, because arc too soon for dinner, because they arc one minute too lute, because they slapped the young ortes, because they tore their brow sers or because they did anything, (wheth er they could help it or not,) before they begin to talk of the evils#of a scoldin'* wife ; why, Mr. President, Fd rather hear the clatter of hammer and stones, and twenty tin pans, and nine brass kettles, than a din din of a scolding wife.

We copy the following true andhuoxO rons description of modesn dancing from the pen of a ready writer, who already en joys an enviable reputation as an author: Look I look!” said a half dozen lady voices one pretty, night, as we sat leaning against the the'ball room. We did look—alas f for bur poor modesty, ought not to have done so. (( If my chil dren were among them, I’d whip well for it. Yes, it they were full grown, I’d give them the hickory.” So said the wife of one of our princess, as she turned away in utter disgust. , Doctor, let .mo describe a little— if the public may look, certainly it may read, though it run. A group of the splendid ones is on the floor, and lovingly mated. The gents encircle their partners waists with one arm. The ladies and gentlemen stand closely face to face. The gents are very erect and lean a little I|ack. The la dies lean a little forward (Music.) Now all wheel and whirl, circle and curl.— Feet and heels of gents go rip-rap, rip-rap rip. Ladies feet go tipifcy-tip, tipity-tip tip. Then all go rippity, clippity, Uppity, hippity,! skippity, hoppity, jumpity, enm ity, thump. Ladies fly oft" by centrifugal momentum, Gents pull ladies hard and close. They reel, swing, slide, sling, look tender, look silly, look dizzy.

Some smile, some grin, some giggle, some frown, some pout, some sneer, and all sweat, free ly - Ihe ladies are brought against breast, nose against nose, and toes against toes. Now they go again, making a sound like gaorgy, porgey, derey, pecry, ridoy, pidey, coachy, poachy. • This dance is not much hut the extra# arc glorious. If the men were women, there would be no such dancing. But they arc only men, and so the thing goes on by woman’s love of it.

A secular writer says : There is no established standard of propriety about this matter. If I were a lady, I might object to these dances; but being a man 1 do not. We certainly ought to be satisfied if they are.” How to go to Bed.— Hall’s Journal of Health, in -peaking on this subject says : “In freezing Winter time do it in a hurry, if there is no fire in the room, and there ought not to be unless you are quit® an invalid. But if a person is not in good health it is best to undress by a good fire, warm and dry the feet well, draw on the stockings again, run into room without a fire, jump jnto bed, bundle up, with'head and cars under cover for a minute or more, until you feel a little warmth; then uncover your head, nest draw off your stockings, straighten out, turn over on your right side and go to sleep. If a sense ot ch illness comes over you on get ting into bed, it will always do you an in jur y 5 its repetition increases the ill effects without having any tendency to harden you. Nature ever abhors vio lence. We arc never shocked into good health.
