'How much shall I lay up?' he repeat
ed. 'Not much. Get the slate nnd let us
reckon up. Charles was resolved to be
frank about the matter and let his wife
know nil.
The slato was brought. First Hannah
put down enc hundred nnd fifty-six dol
lars ns tho quarter's wages. Then enmo
the rent, nnd the butcher, nnd the baker.
'Now you may put down twelve dollars
for this chain nnd twelve dollars for sun
dries that means cigars, tobacco, nuts,
beer, sodo, theater tickets, nnd such things.

Hannah performed tho stun nnd gave
fifty-two dollars ns the result.
'Fifty-two dollars,' uttered Charles,
sinking back into his chair, 'nnd wo have
not bought one nrliclo ofcloihing or furni

this quarter, nnd I had to save thirty at

'Well it's no use to mourn over it,'
said tho wife in a cheerful tone, for she
saw that her husband felt badly. Let's
commence again, there's nothing like try

DR. BEALE'S CANE AGAiN.
Tho New York livening Mirror of D.
ccmber 4th, contains a very interesting
letter from a New Hampshire physician on
the Penlo case.
The letter-writer says : I have had somo
experience with the "dillerent anesthetic
agents w hich have been employed for tho
past eight or nine years, nnd my own oh.
servation nnd that of ethers with whom 1
have been in communication, has been
such that I deem it hazardous for any
man to administer them to females without
the presence of thiid parii'-s, ( r under
such circumstances as would render it ea
sy to disprove tiny unfavorable charges
that might be preli.-rred by the subject."
lilher is described by the letter writer
as nearly or quite dethroning reason,
feonielimes for hours, nnd frequently hur
rjitig the imagination nnd feelings through
indescribable scenes nnd visions of the
wildest tumult.

instances in t Iticidation of bis theory, from
