Hall, "that some people can got along so
comfortably: on a thousand a year. Wo
can't dolt:"
.„"l'ln surer try to economize all I can,"
returned Mrs. Hall sadly, for she felt that
her husband's remark was more than half
intended nsrttetlection upon her. "lonly
keep:one girl, and do, nearly all thy own
sewing." -
"I don't blame you, Harriet," said Mr, , l
Hall. "I'm sure I don't. I know you
work hard—too hard—l often wish it was
easier for you. But what can I do? My
salary is only a thousand dollars. And
yet thatls all Hawkins receives, and he
seems to'get along so smoothly, and even
lays bY, ho tells me, a hundred dollars a
year.
"J don"t know how they do it,"replied
Mrs: Hall. "I know that Mrs. Hawkins
docent work half as hard as I do, though
her house always looks in better order
than mine. They have better furniture
than we have, and I am sure Mrs. Hawk
ins'elothes cost double what mine do. I
den't.think it is my fault.
"I don't ray it is, Harriet. I believe you
qo yourpart the best you know how. But
something must be wrong, soniewhoro.—
Other people can live very well on a thou
sand dollars, while we are always owing
hills to this, that and the other one. Hero
is the quarter's bill for groceries amounting
to sixty-five dollars, and I owe seventy to
iiiSt tailor besides. Then there is an un
settled bill at the provision store of fifteen
or twenty dollars, besides the rent, bread
bill, the 'milk bill, and I don't know how
ninny other bills."
"I wish these bills were not allowed to
run on," remarked Mrs. Hall : "I am sure
it would be a great deal better to pay for
every thing ns we go along."
" So it would, but we havn't the money
to to it with.
"It takes nearly my whole quarter's sal
ary, regularly, to pay °Mho bills of three
months : and then there is no way to live
but to go on trust for almost every thing
for three month's longer. It's a bad sys
tem, I know but there appears to be no
help for it just now."
And in the full conviction that there was ,
no help for it, Mr. Hall drew his quarter's
salaiy of two hundred and fifty dollars,
and went and paid off bills and borrowed
monny—debts amounting to two hundred
dollars. Then giving his wife ten dollars ,
to Rt little things with, he started, under al
fi-'Wester discouragement, on a new quar
ter, pith but forty dollars in his pocket.
Although ho had paid two hundred dollars
of debts, there was almost an equal amount
still hanging over him.
Mr. Hall •was a clerk in a bank where
be was engaged, regularly from eight
o'clock in the morning until about four
o'clock and sometimes five in the afternoon.
He lived in a house for which he paid two
hundred dollars a year, and paid his tailor
from a hundred to a hundred and fifty dol
lars annually. He carried a gold lever
wet& that had cost eighty dollars, and
wore a chain tor which ho had paid forty.
Hp also indulged in one or two expensive
hreast=pins, and before his family had be
come as large as at present, he had spent a
d deztl of money in jewelry for his wife.
ut-the dropping in of one child after an
other; until the number grew to five, in
terfered with these little indulgences very
materially, and called so loudly for edit:
denial that the appeal could not be entirely
disregarded. But the self-denial was prac-
Itised more by Mrs. Hall—much more than
by her husband. She denied - herself al
most every thing, even sufficient rest for
tier overwearied body, while he went on,.
in Most things about the same as he did
when ho and his wife paid eight dollars a
week for their boarding, and had just the
same income they had at present. But let
.us look a little more - closely into his way of,
doing things, and see if it - is, not possible
to discover what appeared so great' a mys
tery to him.
On the day after Mr. Hall had spoken to
his wife so despondingly, hp spent for to
bacco and cigars eighteen and three.
quarter cents; • for a luncheon and a glass
of wine-sangziree, twelve and a half cents
more; and in toys for the children fifty
'cents.
He also bought a bottle of wino, for
which ho raid seventy-five cents. Thege
Mies amounted to one dollar and fifty-six
Sik.apd a quarter cents, and in a single
,day. On the next dayhe paid his barber's
bill thi three months, which was three dol.
Jars and a half, and his boot'black's, bill
-which was two dollars. Luncheon, and
some cakes and candies for the children,
cost twenty-five cents ;' and a very pretty
paper-folder that struck his fancy, the tri
fie of twenty-five cents more. Hero were
six dollars for the ,second day, nearly all
of which might have been
,saved if he had
shaved which_
and.bruslied his own boots,
ao do either of which would have been far
more honorable, genteel and praiseworthy,
Akan to indulge in the - luxury,of a barber
and a boot-black and let his. wife work
*pelf half to death. On the third day he
hired a chaise and rode out with . his fami
ly,. ,
after he had left bank in the after
noon. The chaise hire was a dollar and
a , half, and toll-gates and refreshments for
all fifty cents more. Already, in luncheon,
cigars, and "one or two little matter's, a
half dollarhad been expended by Mr. H.
in`the fore part of the day, so that on the
third - ddy of the week three dollars wore
expended unnecessarily.' Duriniihis time,
for reakketing, shoes for one 'or two ofthe
ghildren, and sundry expenses incident to
itslarge fronily, six dollars molted from the
hands of Mr. -Hall.'
On the evening after tho ride, Mr. Hall
took out his pocket-book find counted his
money. To his utter nstonishment i and
olMost dismay, ho.found that he had only
about twenty-threo dollars and a half. Ho
counted it over and over again, but could

"It's too true. I have but twenty-threo lie had to abate many glasses of wine and

"Are you sure you havn't spent it for
something 1" suggested Mrs. Hall. "How
else could it have gone?"
"Some one must have given mo wrong
change. I gave the carriage-driver n five
dollar bill. Let me see. what change
did he give me? It was a note, and 1 took
it for three dollars.
Mr. Hall ran over the money in his
pocket hook.
"Yes hero's a three dollar bill. I-k gave
me the right change."
Mr. Hall's mind was in groat perplexi
ty. His income was small enough com
pared to his expenses, and therefore, to
lose eight or ten dollars, ho felt to be no
trifling matter.
"Suppohe you count up what you have
spent?" suggested Mrs. Hall, "and see
how much it is exactly. Perhaps you have
laid out more than you think for. "
"I've not laid out halfof sixteen dollars.
But we will count up."
In the first place the spendings for mar
keting, shoes and the sundries that went
into the family were recalled with some
effort, and the sum of six dollars finally
made out.
"That's only six dollars you see," re
marked Mr. Hall, "leaving a deficiency of
ten dollars and a half."
"But you forgot the carriage hire."
"True. That was two dollars—making
eight dollars."
"And you know you bought milk and
cakes for the children, and paid the toll-
keeper."
"So I did. Let me see how much I
paid.cxactly. Just fifty cents to a fraction."
"Then we have eight dollars and fifty
cents accounted for, which leaves eight
dollars deficient. Think, now, what you
spent for yourself, yesterday and the day
before."
"Not eight dollars nor eight cents. But
let me see. There is my luncheon every
day, for three days—just thirty-seven and
a- half cents. True ! And there is a bot
tle of wine; I'd forgotten that—seventy
five cents. Yes, and now I remember I
paid half a dollar for the toys I bought the
children.
"So much 1"
"Yes I had to buy for all of thorn, and
even cheap toys, where you have to get so
many of them, count up.
But we must indulge the children, some
times. 'I have spent, also, for cigars and
tobacco, the trifle of thirty-one cents ; and
for a paper folder a quarter. And in cakes
and candies for the children I may have
spent, may be, a shilling. Let me see
how much all those amount to."
The items were soon summed up, and
the product was two dollars and nearly a
half.
"That, you see, reduces it to five dollars
and a half," said Mrs. Hall.
"So it does," remarked the husband.—
"How money does slip through one's fing
ers. I would not have believed it. But
where is the balance? Where are the five
dollars and tk i lidtf? Even that is too much
to loose. Let me see."
Mr. Hall thought for a moment, and then
his thumb and finger gave a sharp crack,
and he exclaimed—
"Yes ! That's it! I paid my barber's
and my boot black's bill, which added to
gether make just five dollars and a half.—
Well, I declare ! It is astonishing!—
Would any one have thought it ? How
money does go! I wish I could never see
a dollar. Money melts out of my pockets
like snow before the fire. I wish in
my heart, you would take it and see if you
can make it go any farther than I do."
Mrs. Hall did not reply for some mo
ments, and then she said—
"I will do so, provided you let me mail
age things in my own way for a year ;
and, also, provided flint you will be con
tent with five &liars a quarter for your
tobacco and segars ; also provided' that
you will shave yourself, and black your
own boots, or let me do it for you ; and al
so take your luncheon from homo instead
of buying it; by all of which about sixty,
dollars a year can be saved."
"Sixty dollarsl It don't cost half of that
sum, Harriet."
"Count it up for yourself, Felix. Why
a shilling a day for lunch amounts to thir
ty-seven dollars a year."
"So it does? How little things do count
up. Well, wife, if you'll take hold ingood
earnest, do just as you "say for ono
year, and if you bring down the cost of
living as much as a hundred dollars, I will
let you manage money matters ever af
ter." . •
"If I don't bring it down three hundred
dollars, I am mistaken," replied Mrs. Hall,
in a confident tone ; tor , light had ,sudden
denty broken into her mind. The account
which her husband had given of three day's
dispensation of money, under his system,.
showed her where the Jeak was.
"Here are twenty dollars to begin with,
all that I have left from my last quarter's
salary, after keeping three dollars and a
half for my tobacco and segars during the
next tbree months. When it is gone I will
borrow as much as you want to carry you
on until I can draw more money."
tain number of cigars a day.
At the end of the first quarter, Mrs. H.
received one hundred and seventy dollars
from her husband. Eighty dollars she
had received before, and as this had been
borrowed by her husband, he kept thnt
amount from his three month's salary in
order to pay it back.
By extra exertions, and a system of al
most pinching economy, Mrs. Hall man
aged during the second quarter to pay the
rent, and a few small bills, and got thro'
without asking her husband for a cent
more; so that when the salary became
duo again, she had a much larger sum to
start with. From that time not evena ba
ker's bill was permitted to accumulate;
and even her milk bill was pettled once a
week. .r ,
Mr. Hall sometimes colained a little
at his wife's "short commons," as ho call
ed them, and at beino• c cut off from all
pleasure-taking, but she consoled him by
telling him,good humoredly,to wait awhile,
that there was a better time coming.
The year for which Mrs. Hall had un
dertaken to manage affairs at last come to
a close, and one evening she said to her
_
husband—
" Here are my accounts for the year.—
They are not very neatly kept, but I pre-
sume you will find all correct."
"Accounts! Have you kept accounts'!"
asked Mr. Hall.
"Oh, yes ; to a penny."
"Well how stands the balance ?"
"Something in our favor, I think. There
isn't a cent owed anywhere, except the
balance of your tailor's bill, and you know
I had over a hundred and fifty to pay
when I took the management of things."
"Possible!" said Mr. Hall opening his
eyes.
"Yes ; and what is better, I have about
fifty dollars on hand."
"Incredible I"
"It is true."
"But how in the world did you do it 1"
"Not by starving you all, you will ad-
"No, certainly,—wo have had plenty of
good wholesome food to tat ; though I
must own to thinking, sometimes that you
indulged us in little seasonable delecacies
rather sparingly." "
"It had to be done, or else I couldn't
have got along on the reduced income of
this year=reduced by the necessity of
paying,off so many little old bills."
"But how have you done it, Harriet ?"
You havn'bgiven me the affirmative yet."
"By following this simple rule, Felix,
never to buy anything that was not wanted,
and being very careful when a want pre
sented itself, to see whether it was real or
imaginary. Hereafter I hope you will
follow the same rule, and if you do, you
can keep the family on as little as I havb
done."
"Thank you, Harriet 7" returned Mr. H.
smiling; "but I believe I won't supersede
your administration of affairs ; although, I
shall insist upon ono thing; and it is that
you get a stout girl of thirteen or fourteen
to assist you. You are working too hard."
"Wait until next year."
"No. It must be done now. We can
afford it. But, if you think we can't, I
will give up my tobacco and cigars in or
der to help Meet the extra expense."
"Oh, no. I won't ask that of you,"
said Mrs. Hall.
"Then you must get the extra help."
"Very well, if you insist so strongly
upon it, I suppose it must be done."
And it was done. Three or four years
Ape passed. Mr. Hall is quite as well
• ressed as before,, and his wife much bet
ter. Several articles of now furniture
have been added. to their house. Mrs
Hall keeps a cook and a girl to help about,
and has a much more cheerful and less
broken down nppearance. She doesn't
work halfas hard as she did. Add to all
this the fact, that there is not a cent owed
anywhere, and from ono to two hundred
dollars always lying by, and the reader
wjll agree with Mr. Hall, who has quite
changed his mind .on the subject, that a
man CAN get along on a thousand dollars;
that is if ho has the right kind of a wife,
and is willing to let her manage things
with prudence and economy.
