A Sketch for New Beginners in Life
'Charles, what did. this peach pre
serve cost?'
'l'm sure I don't know, Hannah.'
'But you bought it this morning;
did'nt you ?'
' I did, but aid'nt ask the price of it.'
'Did you not pay for it ?'
'No.'
Why not?' • •
'O, because I could'nt stop to make
change. I have opened an account
with Mr. Waldron, and shall hereafter
settle once in three months."
$l,OO

This conversation was - going on. at
tea table, between . Charles Mathews
and his wife. Mathews was a young
mechanic, who had just commenced
housekeeping; and as he was making
excellent wages, he could afford to
live pretty well. After he had made
known his determination to his wife,
she remained some time in silent
thought.
'Charles,' at length she said, in a
very mild, persuasive tone, 'I think it
would be better to pay for things as
you take them. You know you re
ceive your pay for labor every Satur
day night, and you could pay as you
go very easily.' •
I know I could,' returned Mr. Mat
hews, with . the air of a man who had
unanswerable. argument at his com
mand ; 'but then it would not be near
so handy. You see if I pay my store
bill but once a quarter, I shall save all
the trouble of making change; and
shall not only save some time, but also
avoid mistakes."
Mistakes!' repeated Hannah. How
can mistakes occur when you pay for
things as you get them
1 will tell you. Sometimes it may
not be convenient to pay for a thing
when _r get it—l may forget my money,
or I may only take it on trial—then if
"I pay for part and not for all, some
things may get charged which I pay
for. No, Hannah, a settlemeni once
a quarter will be' the best and most
convenient all around. lam satisfied
of it.'
Well, perhaps it may," said the
wife, with an earnest tone and look,
yet %with a smile, but I cannot think
si.'
But why not
Wily, on all accounts: Tn the first
place, you will buy more 'than ycu
would if you paid cash. Now, you
nced.nt shake your head; for I know
it. Thole are so niany little extras,
which we do not need, 'but which you
will yet be apt to buy if you do not
pay cash down. I know something
about this credit business, and it is not
a fair thing. In the second place, if
you pay cash for
_everything, you will
get your goods cheaper. A trader
will sell cheaper when be can have the
money in his hand than when he has
to carry out the amount on his ledger.'
But let me tell you, -Hannah, that
Waldron will not cheat. He is not
the man to take advantage that way.'
'Toil misunderstood me, Charles.
Do you not know that all traders can
afinrd to sell cheaper for cash than for
credit ? Waldron,-for a five dol
lar hill, will let you have more sugar
than he would for the same amount
entered at different times on his
ledger. He could afford to do so.
Traders like to secure cash customers.
1 think you'll find it to our advantage
to try the cash system. Now Ido not
believe you would have bought this
peach. preserve if you had to pay
cash for it.' •
But l bought that just to please
you, Hannah, and I thought you would
accept it gratefully,' returned the hus
band, in a tone which showed that his
feelings were touched.
I know you 'did,' said the wife,
laying her hand aflectionately on his
shoulder, ' and I was grateful,' for I
knew you would do anything to please
me; but for the sake of helping you
I would forego all those things, per
haps'—and the wife spoke very ;
you might be able to buy a little cot
tage of your own one of these days.'
For several days Charles sent . only
such things up from the store as were
actually needed. At length, as he
went into the store one morning on
his way to work, he saw some splendid
looking pickles in fancy jars, He had
ordered the articles lie needed, and
was about to leave, when. Mr. Waldron
spoke : ,' Mr. Mathews, don't you
want a jar of these pickles ?, I car
ried my wife in a jar last evening, and
she thinks them superior to anything
she ever saw before.'
Now Charles knew that his wife had
plenty of plain pickled cucumbers,
some that her mother had put down
for her, but Mr. Waldron's wife has
had some of these fancy ones, and why
shouldn't Hannah?
Shall I send you up a jar?'
How much are they I' •
Only a dollar.'
' Yes, you may send one up, and
just charge it, if you please.'
DEVOTED TO THE PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY, AND THE DISSEMINATION OF MORALIT LITERATURE, AND NEWS
COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., DECEM .ER 28, 1854.
'O, certainly ; anything - you want
you may order at any time, and you
may be assured we shall be happy to
accommodate you."
Now this was flattering to young
Mathews' feelings, to: . think that the
trader had so much confidence in him,
and-he went, away with an exceeding
good opinion of himself and his credit,
and of the storekeeper in particular.
Only a dollar !' Yes, only a dollar
on, the trader's books,—that is nothing.
But a dollar right out of one's pocket
—that is different. Charles Mathews
would not have bought these pickles.
had the cash been required for them.
Mathews, look here; I've got
something to show you.' This was
said on the very next morning after
the purchase or the pickles.
And so Mr. Waldron led our hero
to the back side of the store and
opened a box.
There, Mathews, aint thepe nice
oi•anges !'
They are nice,' replied Charles.
And so they really were.
I know your wife -would like some
of these ; I carried.some to my wife,
and she wanted me to save her fotir or
five dozen."
These are nice. How do they
come 3'
Let's see ; I can send you up three
dozen for a dollar ; I get those very
cheap. You know they are retailing
at five and six cents apiece.'
' Yes. Well, you may send me up
three dozen. Just charge them, if you
please.'
Certainly; anything else this morn-
LEI
I believe not.'
And so Alathews went 0n... This
morning it was a dollar—to-morrow
perhaps fifty cents. It didn't seem
very much. The yoUng man kept just
as much money in his pocket as though
he hadn't bought them. ' Only a dol
lar,' he would say to himself,that
isn't much out of twelve dollars a
week.' And so it might not be. But
the trouble was that the next dollar
was only a dollar.' He forgot to 'add
this dollar with the former dollar and
call it ' two dollars,' and with the next
and call it three, and so on.
One evening Charles came home
with a gold chain attached. to his
watch.
Where did you, get that ?' asked
his wife.
Ah,' returned. the husband, with
an impressive shake of the head, ' I
made a bargain in this chain. Now
guess what 1 paid for it.' •
I'm sure I can't guess.' _
0, but try---guess something.'
Well, perhaps ten dollars.'
Ten dollars !' echoed Charles, with
a sort of disappointed look. ' Why,
what are you thinking of ? Jack Cum 7
flings bought this chain two . months
-ago, and paid twenty dollars for it.
Why, just heft it and see how heavy
it is. Eighteen carats fine. . Jack was
hard up for money, and let me have it
for twelve dollars.'
It is cheap, to be sure,' returned
Hannah; but yet with not so much
pleasurable surprise as her husband
anticipated. ' But,' she added, you
did . not need it, and I fear you will
feel the loss of the money.'
' Pooh ! I have money enough.
You know I have spent but very little
lately: 1 have been pretty saving.'
But you forgot our things, Charles.
The money which you have in your
hands is not yours.'
Not mine !'
No ; it belongs to the store-keeper,
and to the butcher, and to.our landlord.
You know they must. be paid.'
Don't you fret about them. I know
it don't cost me near twelve dollars a
week to live, for I have made an esti
mate. There is Wilkins, who works
right side of me in the shop ; he has
four children, and only gets the same
wages that I do, and yet he lays up
some three or four dollars every week,.
besides paying his rent.'
Yes,' said Hannah, know lie
does. I was in to see his wife the
other day, and she was telling me how
_well they were getting along. Mr.
Wilkins takes his basket every Satur
day night and goes over to the market
'and buys his week's quantity of meat
and vegetables, and trades for cash,
so that he gets everything to the best
advantage. So he goes at the store.
He lays in a good quantity of those
articles which will keep, and buys
them as cheap as he can. Butter, eggs,
cheese, apples, and such, be buys
when the market is full, aad when
they are cheap, and he always buys
enough to last his family over the sea
son of scarcity, when such things are
high. His butter, for instance, he
bought for eighteen cents a.pound—a
large firkin of it—and it is much
sweeter than that for which you paid
twenty-eight cents yesterday.' .
Twenty-eight cents I' repeated the
young. man, in surprise.
' I es. I asked Mr. Waidron'a man
who brought it tip, and, he said it had
risen to twenty-eight cents. Mr.. Wi
lkins got fifty dozen eggs sonic time
ago for twelve cents a' dozen, land his
wife packed them down, and tley kept
well. You will have to pay Mr. Wal
dron thirty-three for those you sent
up yesterday.'
Charles Mathews was soLewhat
astonished .at this view of the 4ase, but
it could not be helped now ; I and the
subject was dropped. His gqld chain
had lost its charm. It did not-look §o
well,' even in his own eyes, a/ had the
simple black cord which he lard. .
At length the end_ of the quarter
came around. The first bill paid was
the rent, which amounted to thirty-one
dollars. The next' was the 'butcher's
bill, which amounted to 'thirty-six dol
lars. Charles wag astonisho to see
how the meat bill footed iup. But
when he saw how Many stems he had
had at 17
cents per pound, the cause
of wonder was at an end. I Next, he
paid the baker's bill, which I was thir
teen dollars.. - When he had come
Roma in the evening he 114(1 paid all
his bills except his grocery bill.
'Mr. 'Waldron sent in 14s bill. to
day,' said his wife,' after suliper.
Ali, did he ? let me see
Hannah brought it, an Charles
looked at it. Ho was ast!onished at
its length, and when he, carne to look .
at the bottom of the columh his face
turned a shade pale. It footed up just
sixty-five dollars—an , average of five
dollars a week.
This is impossible !' l e uttered,
as he gazedupOn it. But he examined
the different articles and I could re
member When he ordered them. Those
things which cost only a dollar looked
very innocent when viewed alone, but
in the aggregate they had! a different
appearance.
How much shall you lay up this
quarter; - Charles ?' kindly inquired his
wife', as she came and leaned over her
husband's shoulder, and i)artincr the
hair on his forehead and smoothed it
back.
',How much snail V he re
peated—. not much. Get me the slate
and let me reckon it tql.' Charles
was resolved to be frank and let his
his wife know all.
The slate was brought. I First Han
nah put down one hundred and fifty
six
. dollars as the quarti'r's wages.
Then came the rent, and ithe . buteher
and the baker.
. .
'Now you may put dowti twelve dol
lars for this chain . and ts'elve : dollars
for sundries—that ;neans cigars, tobac
co, nuts,. beer, soda, theater tickets,
,
and such things.. Now Cake all that
from my quarter's wages, land.see how
much remains.'
Hannah performed tile sum and
gave fifty-two dollars as the result.
' Fifty-two dollars!' uttered Charles,
sinking back into his chi r,- " and we.
have not bought one article of clothing
or furniture. Fifty-two dollars' with
which to pay sixty-fiv. There is
thirteen dollars short thiskluarter, and
I thought to save thirty t least.'
' Well, it's no-use to m nun over it,'
said the wife, in a cheerful tone, fur
she saw that her husband felt badly.
"Let us commence again; there's
nothing like trying, you know.'
. For some moments Charlesremaiu d
• silent. He gazed first tipon the 14111
he held in his hand, then Upon the
slate, aud then upon the floor. At last
i he spoke; there was a peculiar light
in his eyes, aud a'flush upon his coun
tenance.
' Hannah, I see where the trouble is,
and I must freely adnut - it. I have
been wrong; if I had plid . for every
thing as I bought it, I should not have
been where I now am in pecuniary
matters. You are right; I see it all
now ; I have not estimated the value
of money as L Ought.
,itet me once
get up again to where T. began, and I
will do differently. I must step down
to the store this evening! and pay Mr.
Waldron what I have, and the rest I
will pass bitn-when 1 ani able.'
' That matter can be easilya settled,'
said - Hannah, with a Wight, happy
look. ' Fhave more than enough to
make up the amount of the bill. It is
money I had when we ;were married.
Wait a moment.' !
Charles protested most earnestly
against taking his wife's .money, but
she would listen .to no argument on
that, su-bject. It was her will and he
must submit. So he vent down and
paid his grocery bill, and on his way
home, sold his gold Chain for fourteen
dollars. He felt happier when he got
the old black cord once more around
his neck,.and the money now to com
mence the quarter with.
! •
On the next Monday- morning the
young man went into' the meat store
to send home apiece Of beef for din
ner.
• ' How much will yoU, have asked
the butcher.
'
0, three or f our f
Charles got thus far and then he
stopped. He had always been in the
habit of ordering an indefinite quan
tity-, and leaving; the butcher to cut it
off at the highest figure, and charge
the highest prices ; and he remem
bered how much was usually wasted.
Let me have two pounds," he said.
He stopped and•saw it weighed, and
paid for it.
When he went :home at noon he
found that his two pounds of beef had
made enough, and there was none to
waste.
The next morning be went to the
store. Mr. Waldron had some nice
figs just come in, which he
. showed.
They- were only a shilling a pound.
For a moment Charles hesitated, but
when be remembered that he had to
pay for all he.bought,he concluded not
to take them. He found that things
were not so enticing when it required
cash. to get them, as when the pay
ment could he postponed. He paid
for what he bought and went his way,
and thus things went on through the
week. When it came Saturday night
he knew that all the money in his
pocket was his own, after deducting
his rent. That evening he went over
to the market with Wilkins, and
bought as much meat and vegetables
as be.thouglit would last him through
the week. 'He found that he had
made a saving of at least 20 per cent.
by this Foperation,• and when an oppor
tunity offered, he made the same
saving in -other matters.
At the end of that quarter, Charles
Mathews did not have to get any slate.
He paid his house rent, and then he
found he had-thirty-five dollars left in
his pocket. ' That was all his—he did
not owe a penny of it.
Al, Hannah,' be said, as be held
the money in his hand and look . ed at
it, now I . see how easy it is for a man
to be wrong, and his wife right. This
money all : comes of paying as 1-go

EMPLOYMENT IN SCHOOL
The teacher who would govern his
school, must keep in memory one of
the first principles iu the philosophy
of mind, that what one does from his
own deCtil»); i> dome much more
cheerfully thariwhat is demaniled of
him as a task. If the teacher can
intere:t his pupil= in employment,
(...vite their inintis with the love of
kfinwledge, a:,..1 cugnfzt , them in -their
stutlie.4 he env both imr;rove them lit
knov,ied ,, e, and easily g , ,vern them.
Let. the teacher then say .httle about
government ; about v.-hat lie shall do,
I engage every scholar in his studies,.?
One ineliiria is, fbi - the teachers to
spe'nd hut little time in. school hours
ia di:-course uhi.utt order, or other
matters than thosepertaining to reci
utti,,,t ; It. a teacher would have Lis
pupils work, lt•t kiln work; let him
edit upon every scholar to recite; and
instead of faulting him as an
.laved scholar, ascertain why he Las
not learned his lesson.—N. 11. Report.
A NAM ENTERING INTO LIFE,
man entering into !life ought ac
curately to know three things :—First,
where he is. Secondly, where he is
going:. Thirdly, what - he had best to
do under- these circumstances. First,
where he is—that is to say, what - sort
of ,vdrld he lias got into ; how large
it is; what sort of creatures live iu it,
and how; what' it is made of, and
what may be made of it. Secondly,
where he is going—that is to say,
What chances or reports there arc of
any other world -beside this; what
seems to he the nature of that world,
and whether for information respecting
it he had better consult the Bible,
Koran, or Council of Trent. Thirdly,
what he had best do under these cir
ciunstances—that is to say, what kind
Of faculties he pbsseses; what are the
present state and wants of mankind ;
and what are the readiest means
in his power—of-attaining happiness
and dinsing it. The man who knows
these things, and who has had his will
subdued in the - learning of them, that
'ho is ready to do what he knows he
ought, I should call educated, and the
man who knows them not, uneducated,
though he could talk all the tongues of
Babel.—kbakiii's Stones of Venice,-
