When Raymond Warren's house was trasolate and his fireside cheerless, he saw what had been his great error during:the two years of his married life, and he mourned has wife deeply,. it must be said in his favor, both as a helpmate and a com panion. He rented his farm and managed to ex ist " easily" for ode year, but he was a' domestic man—he was not satisfied with a cNildless Widow -1 er's solitary lot,arid he began to look about him for a second helpmate and companion.

Raymond started bolt upright. and it was not many o rniliutes,before he was at the wood pile— Diligently did he work until he had cut an armful, which, like a tlntituLhasband, for the first time in his life, he carried into the kitchen. His wife made no allusion to whet had passed between them, and Ramond, although b - Mning with curiosity to know wlferiEshe had learned what she had revealed to him, dared not commence conver sation in relation to it. The train of evils it might .revive was fearful p 3 the easy man's mind..

He lilted the cover of Unifier dish ; there were potatoes just as they had been dug from the earth. All the dishes that usually contained victuals were covered. Raymond:grew suspicious, ilnd he lifted the covers hastily. There was bread, as it had come from the tray t there were turnips .thiit had never been under the influence of fire; there were apple 4 handsomely sliced for sauce, and there were numerous other edibles, but nonts of them could Raymond eat. He turned for-consida ti,ot to a cup of tea his wife 11n1 deposited near his pf..te. Thole were tea leaves floating in' the cup, but the tea- looked remarkably rale; nevotheless, Raymond, by force of habit, blew it vigorrably to prepare it for his pals e.

" It's strange they are not cooked," said Ray mond. " Not at all," replied Mrs. NVarren ; " there was no wood to cook them with." In an instant Easy Warren then saw what a it moral" there was in his novel dinner, and with a keen appetite, he went to work on the wood pile. He took his dinner and supper together on that day, and remembered what Mrs. Warren said : " Now, Raymond, whenever you leave me with out Wood you must eat victuals that have been .cooked on a cold stove." Many women would have stormed' anti scolded, but Mrs. Warren knew there was a better way to correct her easy husband's carelessness, or shiftless- ness, as the reader I leases. One day there was no floor in the house, and Raymond was about to go with some neighbors to a town meeting, when his wife hid his best coal, and reminded him of the empty flour barrel. An other day his corn was to he gathered, when a neighbor desired him to assist hint with his horses and vragon. It was a neighbor who often receivsd favors, brit seldom rendered them.

Dent, in a i 4lectore before.the Londmi Royal Institute, made in allusion ta the formation of a Watch, in whichpe slated that a watch consisted of 992 pieces ; and stated that 23 trades, and probably 215 perserts are employed in malting one of those machines. ;The iron of which the balance-spring is formed, is valued at something less than a farthing; this liroduces an ounce of steel, which is worth did:, which is drawn into 2250 - yards of steel wire, and represents in the market $643.
