BY P. J. n'anszt.t.
rknow not what others may think,
To no one I feel the least grudge.
I hate none for what they my drink,
But a mail by his language I Judge.
Whenever I hear a man use
Words that are vulgar or vain,
That moment I think he'll abuse
The manhood he ought to maintain.
If a tan will himself so degrade
As to utter the language of sin,
I cast them obscure in the shade,
For his base heart is rotten within,
Ithe values not a good name
Ott him I can never depend,
To WA me In winning fair fame,
Ito make him a dear bosom friend.
The evil that springs from the tongue
Is worse than a scorpion's bite,
It poisons the mind of the young,
And the maiden's day darkens at night.
It slanders the husband and wife,
It injures the body and soul,
It breeds all contention and strife
And spreads scandal from pole to pole.
In my own native borne—lnshowen,
I heard it In days long gone by,
That man's by his company known,
And his words indicate his mind's eye, .
For words emanate from the bruin
Combined with the thoughts of the heart,
The tongue follows on the train,
And for good or for ill takes a part.
Immodest words surely defile
The tongue that expresses them, 'tis true,
The mouth and the lips must be vile
'Which aid in pronouncing them, too.
For them there can be no defense,
As they tend to corrupt a pure mind,
Nor should they, on any pretense, •
Be spoken at all by mankind.
St. James Epistle cloth say
That the man who In words don't offend
Is perfect; end this I will pray
To heaven his soul may ascend.
We should try to obtain that reward
By words edifying to all,
And keep on the tongue a strict guard,
Lest Satan might tempt us to falL

A tiny cross
Of soft moss,
And that is all!
And yet it Lath a voice and speaks to me
Of patient faith and holy victory;
Faith that could triumph in Gethsemane,

Upon the cross,
A little cross,

And that is all,
Yet when Tye left my darlings with the dead,

TIME !MANAGING WIFE.
Ezra Newton had just finished looking
over his yearly accounts, "Well," asked
his wife, looking up, "how do you come
out ?"
"I find," said her husband, "that my
expensett during the last- year have been
thirty-seven cents over a thousand dol
lars!'
" and your income has been a thousand
dollars ?"
"Yea. I managed pretty well didn'
I?"
"Do you think it managing well to ex
ceed your income ?" said his wife.
" What's thirty-seven cents?" asked
Mr. Newton, lightly.
" Not much to be sure, but still some
thing. It seems to me that we ought to
have saved instead of falling behind."
" But how can we save on this salary,
Elizebth ? We haven't lived es tnivagant
ly. Still it seems to have taken all.
'A Perhaps there is something in which
we might retrench. Suppose you men
tion some of your items.'
" The most important are house rent,
one hundred and fifty dollars, and articles
of food, five hundred dollars."
"Just half."
" Yes, and you'll admit that we can't
retrench there, Elizabeth. I like to live
welL I had enough of poor board before
I married. Now, I mean to live as well
as I can."
" Still we ought to be saving up some
thing against a rainy day. Ezra."
"That would be something like carry
ing an umbrella when the sun shines."
"Still it is well to have an umbrella in
the house."
"I can't controvert your logic, Eliza
beth, but I am afraid we shan't be able to
save up anything this year. When I get
my salary raised, it will be time enough
to think of that."
" Let me make a proposition to von,"
said Mrs, Newton. You say that one half
of your income has been expended on
articles of food. Are you willing to allow
me that sum for the purpose ?"
" You guarantee to pay all bills oat of
it ?"
" Yes."
" And relieve me of all care on that
point ?"
" Yes."
"Then I will shift the responsibility
upon you with pleasure. But I can tell
you beforehand you wont be able to save
much out of it."
" Perhaps not. At any rate I will en
gage not to exceed it."
That's well. I shouldn't relish hav
ing additional bills to pay. As lam paid
every month, I will at each - payment hand
you half the money.
The different characters of the husband
and wife may be judged from the conver
,NnAilialk„ltuftdriinfapat
sight. He lived chiefly for the present,
and seemed to fancy that w hatever contin
gencies alight arise in the future, he
would somehow be provided for. Now
trust in Providence is a very proper feel
ing, but there is a good deal of truth in
the old adage that God will help those
who help themselves, and in proportion
as they are disposed to help themselves.
Mrs. Newton, on the contrary, had been
brought up in a family which was com
pelled to be economical, and although
she was not disposed to deny herself com
forts, yet she felt that it was desirable to
procure them at a fair price.
The time at which this conversation
took place was at the commencement of
the second year oh their married life.
The first step which Mrs. Newton took,
on accepting the charge of the household
expenses, was to institute the practice
of paying cash for all articles that
came under her department. She ac
cordingly called on the butcher and in
quired:
" flow often have you been in the habit
of presenting your bills, Mr. Williams?"
" Once in - Six months," was the reply.
" And I suppose you sometimes have
bad bills ?"
" Yes, one-third of my profits, on an
average, are swept off by them."
"And you could afford, I suppose to
sell somewhat cheaper for ready money?"
" Yes and I would be glad if all my
customers would give me a chance to do
"I will set them an example then,"
said Mrs. Newton. "Hereafter whatever
articles shall be purchased of you will be
paid for on the spot, and we shall expect
you to sell as reasonably as you can."
This arrangement was also made with
others, who it is scarcely needful to say,
were very glad to enter into the arrange
ment. Ready money is the great support
of trade, and a cash customer is worth
two who purchase on credit.
Fortunately Mrs. Newton had a small
supply of money by her which lasted till
the first monthly installment from her
husband became due. Thus she was en
abled to carry out her cash plan from the
beginning.
Another plan which occurred to her as
likely to save expense, was to purchase
articles in large quantities. She had soon
saved enough from the money allowed her
to do this. For example, instead of buy
ing sugar a few pounds at a time, she pur
chased a barrel, and so succeeded in sav
ing a cent or more on the pound. This,
perhaps amounted to but a trifle in the
course of a year, but the same system
carried out in regard to other articles
yielded a result which was by no means
trifle.
There were other ways in which a care ,
ful housekeeper is able to limit expense
which Ilfra. Newton did not overlook.
With an object in view she was always On
the lookout to prevent witstefund to get
the full valve of what ever was expended.
The result was beyond bet anticipa
tions,
At the close of the year, cm examining
her bank biak—for she had regnhitly de
posited whatever money she had not oc
casion to am in one of the these InBtitu
tions-4Ni found that she had one band
ied and fifty dollars besides 'fehribtittink
herself for the money daring the first
month, and having cnotigh'fo list moth.
cr.
"Well Elisabeth, have you kept within
yoUrnitevnincer asked her linsband lot
this time. Igness you have not . found
it so easy to save as you thought for."
"I have, saved something, however?'
sa id his wife, "But howis it withyou ?"
"That'smore than I cansay. However,
I hove not exceeded my income. "That's
one good thing. I find I have exactly
spent aIL But I can't see how you have
saved anything. We have lived full as
well, and I don't know but what better
than last year, when we spent five hun
dred."
"It's-knack, Ezra," said hia wife emil-
mg.
She was not inclined to mention how
much she had saved. She wanted some
time or other to apprise him with it when
it would be of some service.
" She may possibly have saved np
twenty-Svejdollers," thought Mr. Newton,
"or some such trine," and 'so dismissed
the matter from his mind.
At the end of the second year, Mrs.
Newton's savings, iucluding the interest,
amounted to three hundred and fiftydol
lars, and she began to feel quite rich.
Her husband did not think to inquire
how she had succeded, supposing, as be
fore, that it could be but a very small
sum.
However be had a piece of good news
to communicate. His salary had been
raised from a thousand to twelve hundred
dollars.
He added, "As I before allowed you
one half my income for household ex
penses, it is no more than fair that I
should do so now. That will give you a
better chance to save up a part of it than
before,. Indeed, I don't know how you
have succeeded in saving anything thus
far.
As before Mrs. Newton merely said that
she had saved something without specify
ing the amount..
Her allowance was increased six hun
dred dollars, but her expenses were not
proportionally increased at all; so that
her savings for the third year swelled the
aggregate sum in the saying's bank to
six hundred dollari.
Mr. Newton, on the i contrary, in spite
of his increased salary, was no better off
at the end of the third year than before.
His expenses bad increased by a hundred
dollars, though he would hare found it
difficult to tell in what way his comfort
or happiness had been increased there
by.
In spite of his carelessness in regard to
his own affairs, Mr. Newton was an ex
cellent man in regard to business, and
his services were valnable to his employer.
They accordingly increased his salary
from time to time till it reached sixteen
hundred dollars. He had steadily pre-'
served the custom of assigning one half
to his wife for the same purpose as hereto
fore, and this had , become such a habit
that he never thoUght to inquire whether
she found it necessary to employ the
'Thuile - 1r years roues away.
all this time ‘Mr. Newton lived in the
same hired house for which he had paid
an annual rent of one hundred and fifty
dollars. Latterly, however, he had be
come dissatisfied with it. It had passed I
into the hands of a new landlord, who
was not disposed to keep it in the repair
which he considered desirable.
About this time a block of excellent
houses were erected by capitalists, who
designed to sell or let them as he might
have an opportunity. They were more
modern and much better arranged than
the one in which Mr. Newton now lived,
and he felt a strong desire to move in one
of them. He mentioned it to his wife
one morning. . .
"What is the rent, Ezra?" inquired his
wife.
" Two hundred and twenty-fire dollars
for the corner house; two hundred for
either of the others."
"The corner one would be preferable,
on account of the side windows."
"Yes, and they have a large yard be
sides. I think we must hire one of them
I guess I'll engage one to-day; you know
our year is out next week."
Please wait Ezra till to-morrow before
engaging one."
For what reason."
" I should like to examine the house."
" Very well, I suppose to-morrow will
be sufficiently early."
Soon after breakfast Mrs. Newton culled
on 'Squire Bent, the owner of the new
block, and intimated her desire to be
shown the corner house. The request he
readily complied with ,• Mrs. Newten was
quite delighted with all the arrangements,
and expressed her satisfaction.
"Are these houses for sale or to let ?"
she inquired.
" Either;" said the owner.
"The rent is, understand, two hund
red and twenty dollars."
" Yes, I consider the corner house worth
at least twenty-five dollars more than the
rest."
And what do you charge for the house
to a cash purchaser ?" asked Mrs. Newton
with subdued eagerness.
" Four thousand doll'ars cash, was the
reply; and that is but a small advance
upon the tost."
" Very well, I will buy it of you ;" add
ed Mrs. Sefton, quietly.
"What did I understand you to any?'
asked the Squire, scarcely believittg his
ear&
I repeated; fat I will boy this house
at your price and pay you the money with
in a week."
"Then the house is yonre. But your
husband said nothing of !rig intention,
and in fact I did not know—"
"That he had the money invest, I
suppose you would says Neither does he
know it, and I must ask you not to tell
him for the iireSent:'

Mr. Newton gazed at his wife iu pro

"What on earth do you mean Eliza

"Just what I sat. The house mine,
and what is mine is thine. So the house
is yours, Ezra." •
Where in the name of goodness did
you raise the money?" asked her husband,
hie amazement still as great tuf'ever.
"I haven't been a managing wife': for
ten years for nothing," said Mrs. Newton
smiling.
With some difficulty Mrs. Newton per
minded her husband that theprice of the
house was really the result of her saving&
He felt when he surveyed the commodious
arrangements of the new house, that he

Husbands on Probation.
While our fine girls are bemoaning the
lack of young men / and the scarcity of
beaux who ale marriagible and mean mar
riage, there is a class of young men whom
they do not recognize at all, yet who will
furnish the next generation its men of en
terprise, of power, position and of wealth,
It is not the sons of the rich who will, as
a rule, remain rich. The sons of the poor
will get rich ; and they are to-day, drudg
ing in offices and counting-rooms, and
store-houses and machine-shops, and
printing establishments, are the men who
in twenty-five years, will control the na
tion socially, politically and financially.
Every man of them means to be married;
they will, as a rule, make excellent hus
bands; they are all at work trying to
win success. There are men who would
be easily improved by recognition, and by
bringing them into good intelligent soci
ety; yet they are aslittle noticed as if they
were so many dogs. Virttioneyoung men
from the country go into the city, and live
fiveyears without any society, and are re
garded by the fashionable young women
with indifference or contempt., but those
young men have a hold upou the future;
and when their success is known, in what
ever field of enterprise it may be, the
fashionatiles will he glad to receive them
as belonging to their own number. We
regret to say that, as a rule, the young
men for whom a position has been won
by virtuous and enterprising fathers,
amount to but little in the world; and we
rejoice to see that companions Chosen
from those who have their fortunes to
make and the positions to win, are those
to whom swell-bred woman can generally
with safety entrust her happiness,and
herself.
Courtship.

Admiration is a very short lived pas

still fed with fresh discoveries, and kept
alive by a new perpetual succession of
mirackes rising to its view—Addison.
There are so many circumstances, per
fectly nameless, to communicate to the
newly-married man the fact that it is not
a real angel of whom be has got the pos
session; there are so many things of this
sort—so many and such powerful dam

something, and a good deal f too, to keep

Courtship is as the bowling green turf,
all gallopin,g around and sweet-hearting,
a sunshine Holliday in summer time; but
when once through matrimony's turnpike
the weather becomes wintry, and some
husbands are seized with a cold, anguish
fit, to which the faculty give the name of
udiflerence G. A. Stevens.
Possession, like all earthly blessings,
carries its own principle of corruption.
The deadliest foe to love is not change,
nor misfortune, nor wrath, nor anything
that flows from passion or emanates from
fortune—the deadliest foe to it is custom !
With custom die away the del9siotls and
the mysteries which encircle it.
With all passion the soul demands
something unexpressed, some vague recess
to explore or marvel upon. Custom
leaves nothing to romance, and often but
little to respect. The whole character is
bared before us like a plain, and the
heart's eye grows wearied with the same
ness of the survey. And to weerinest
succeeds distaste, and to distaste one of
the Proteous-aversion ; so that the passion
we would make the rarest of the treasures,
fritters down to very instance of the com
monest of proverbs, and "out of the
familiarity cometb, indeed, contempt."—

An Unnatural Father.
The &fat thing ont is the elopement
of a Philadelphia gentleman with his son's
wife. The case occurred in Allegheny a
few evenings ago, and if reported correctly
is as cool a piece of diabolism as one can
find now-a-days, even when we are not
surprised by tolerably bad transactions.—
The story runs that the soli, an enerjetic
yong man, recently married nd settled in
Alleghen:, His wife was handsome, and
on a visit to the young couple, the old
gentleman was so enchanted by her that
he ;planned an elopement, to which she
assented., the father returned a few days
ago, and On going home to supper May
and December told the tale of their loves
and declared their intention of going off
together. The son of course was thun
derstruck. and went out to seek means for
the prevention of the design. When ho
returned the old gentleman and young
lady had gone. It was aftetrtrads discov
ered that the father bad disposed of his
property hr Philadelphia, and took ten
thousand dollars in cash with him; lenv
ing his Wray well provided for.

bought it, bat told the Owner itwas worth
$125, and paid the owner that sum for it.
Shortly after; the person ornihom

$4O, and Mr. Davis granted him the'leati,
taking hid note for that Sum, Before - long
Mr. Davis was taken ill, andleeling it was
his fast illness, he called Mr. Wakefield to
his bedside,.and said to Mini
have'a note of $4O against Mr. A.,
and I want thee, after lam gone, to de
stroy it."
Mr. W. wondering, and asking an ex
planation, be said: - •
"Thee kuowsi bought that pasture of
Mr. D., and 'didn't pay,a9.much as it was
worth, andi 4oref feel that he might to
pay me that note."
"But," said Mr. W." you paid him all
and More than he asked for theland."
.
h Yes," said Mr. Davis, " that is true
but it makes no difference,—it's worth.
$4O more than I - Paid him, and I want
that note destroyed."
Shortly after Mr. Davis passed away
and Mr.Valiefield,.in the performance of
his duty as ad - mitnstrator, looking aver
the deceased's , effects, vitae upon this
note. It was a*good note fur $I0; but in
accordance with the Old Quaker's dying
request he threw it into tlke, fire. '
Not long afterwarks Mr. A. of whom
the pasture was bought, called on Mr.
Wakefield.
"You've got something against me,
haven't you.
"What i 8 it for ?" sdid Mr..W.
" I gave a note to Mr. Davis for $4O,
money botrowed of him, and I want to
pay
"I've no such note," said Mr. W.
" Bid this estate certainly hogs midi a
note against me."
" I can'tlelp none' now."
Very soon Mr. Wakefield explained the
mystery, and tears rolled down the aston
ished man's face as h elearned the note had
been liurned,—a witness to the wonderful
Conscientiousness and integrity of a snre
footed Quaker, one of the worthy first set
tlers of Lewiston. Such men will do for
any age,—the more the better.

The contents of the stone, as removed

new silver mines in die vicinity of the

and brought into Prescott from "Tiger,"
is reported as yielding at the rate of 1800
ounces of silver per ton, and we are as
sured at the same time that -the ore was
taken from the ledge by a miner who is
unable to select good ores simply because
he did not know them. About one bun
dred men were in the new district, ac
cording to the latest advices, and sererkl
largeparties were Siting out to go there
immediately. A town has been laid out
near the vein on a creek, and several of
the merchants of Prescott contemplated
removing their business to the . net mines.
It was confidentially expeeted that the dis

early in the spring. It should be men:
