TELL AT WIFE.
"Tell my wife!" said Aaron Little,
speaking aloud, yet to himself, in a half
amused, half troubled way. "Tell, my
wife, indeed! 2iluch good that will do!
What does she knoev a b out business and
money matters, and thd _ tricks ,of trade?
No v no; there's no hope there."
And AtirOn Little. sat musing with, a
perplexed countenance.. Ho lick. a news
paper in !'ie band, and his eyes bad just
been lingering over a paragraph in which
theiwriter songested to business men in
trottble the propriety of consulting their
wives.
"Talk of them freely about your affairs,"
it said. "Let them understend exactly
your_conditiOn. Tell them of your diffl
culties, of your embanisiaients, and your
plans of extricating yourself 'from the en
tanglements in which you are involved.
My word for it, you will get help in nine
cases out of ten. WoMen have quick per
ceptions. 'They reach conclusions by a
nearer way than reasoning, and get at the
solution of a difficult question long before
your slow moving thoughts bring you near
enough for accurate observation. Tell
your wives, then, moi in trouble, all about
your affairs! Keep nothing back. The
better they understand the matter, Old
clearer will he their perceptions."
"All a 'very fine theory," said Aaron
Little, tossing the newspaper from him,
and leaning back in his chair. "But it
won't do in my case. Tell Betsy! Yes,
I'd like to Bee myself doing it! A man
most be. hard pushed indeed, when ho
goes home to consult his wife on business
affairs."
And so Aaron Little dismissed the sub-
ject. Ho was in considerable doubt, and
perplexity of mind. Things bad not gone
well with him for a year past Dull busi
ness and bad debts had left his 'affairs in
ratheran uneampromisingcondition, He
could not see his way clear fur the future.
Taking trade as it had been for the past
six mouths, be could not imagine how,'
with the resources at his commaud, his
Maturing payments were to be made. -
"IMust get more Capital;' he said to
himself, "That is plain. And with more
capital must cqme in a partner. I don't
like partnerships., It is so difficult for two
men to work together harmoniously:
Then von may getentangled With a rogue.
way out of this trouble. .My own capital
is too light for the business I am doing;
and as a measure of safety more must be
brought in." Lawrence is anxious to join
me, and he says ue, can command ten
thousand pounds. I don't like him in all
respects, he's a little tocifonil of pleasure.
Mit I want his money more than his aid
in the business. Ile might remain a silent
partner if he chose. I'll mall and, see tins
this very night, and have a talk on the
subject: If be can bring in ten thousand
pounds, I think that will settle the mat
ter."
With this conclusion iu his mind, Aarou
Little returned home, after closing his
warehouse for the day. Tea ,being over,
he Made preparation for going out with
theintention of calling on Mr. Lawrence.
As ho reached his hand for his great coat,
a.voice seemed to say to him :.
"Tell your wife. Talk to her shunt it"
But be rejected. the thought instantly,
and commenced drawing on his coat.
"Where are you going. Aaron ?" asked
Mrs. Little; coming fortlifrom the dining
700M. . '
" Out for a little while," he replied. "I'll
be back in a half an War or so."
"Out where?_"
" Tell her, Aaron. Tell her about it,"
,said the voice, speaking in his mind.
Nonsense! ,She don't understand any
thing about business. She can't help mep
he answered firmly.
"Tell your wife The words were in
his mind, and would keep repeating them
selves.
" Can't you say Where you are going.
Aaron ? Why do you make a mystery ei
't r'
" Oh., it's only a Matter of business. I'm
going to see Mr..l(awrsecc."
" Edward Lawreu iftn" ••-• •
"Yes." •
"Tell your wife." The--words seemed
almost as if uttered aloud' in his cars. ' •
"What arc you going to see him
about ?" '
"Tell her."
Mr. Little stood irresolute. What good
•would telling her do. •
" What's the matter Aaron? You've
been dull for some time past. Nothing
going wrong'with you, I hope." And tie
wife laid her hand• upon his arm; and
leaned toward himitf atind way.
"Nothing was wrong," he answered :a
an evasive manner. ' "Business has -been
dell this:season."' -"- - •
1 Has it? • I'm sorry., lYby didn't you
tell me ?" . • ,
• "What good would that have done ?"-
"It might have ~ done a great deal -of
iocid. When a Man's business - is . dull,
his wife should look to the household ex
penses; but if •she knows nothing about
it, she may go on in a way that 'is -really
extravagant under the etreenrstances. . I
think that men ought always to tell their
wives when any thing is going wrong."
"Yon do ' •
"Certainly I do. What better reason
can yen want than the one I bare given ?
If she knows that tlie income is reduced,
as a prudent wife, she will endeavor to re
dace the expenses. Hach* you better
take off your coat, and sit•down and talk
with me a little, before you go to see Mr.
Lawrence?" - • •• - • •
Mr. Little permitted his wife to draw
off , his overcoat, which she took" into the
passage and replaced on the hat-rack.
Then returning into the parlor, she said:
"Now, Aaron, talk to me as freely as
you choose. Don't keep anything. , back.
Whatever the trouble is, let me know it to
the full extent." •
" Oh, there's nagreat trouble yet. ..I em
only-afraid of trouble. I see it coming,
and wish to keepiout of its way. Betsy."
"That's wise and, prudent," said his
wife. "Now tell Me why you ere going to
see'Mr. Lawrence," . .
• Mr. tittle let his'eyes &Hon' the floor,
and ,mt •for some momenta - la silence.
Then looking op, hosed: • -
0 Pie trqth 13,', 1109;1 must ItaTemorc
capital in my bUsiness. There will be, no
getting along without it. -Now Mr. Law
rence can command, or at least says to
can command ten, thousand pounds. •I
think he would like to , join me. lie has
said as much two or three times."
"Arc yon going to see him on that busi
ness ?" '
"i was,"
" Don't do it," said Mrs, Little emphati-
.
"Why not.?" asked Aaron.'
" Because he isn't the man tor ori—not
if be had twenty thousand pounds," '
" Because is uo reason," replied Aaron
Little. -
"The extravag,ance of his wife is," was
answered firmly.. *
What do you know aboutlier."
"Only what I have seen. I have called
upon her two or three times, and have no
ticed the style ill, which her house is. fur
nished. It is arrayed in palace attire com
pared •with ours. And as for dress, it
would take the interest of .a little, fortune
to pay her milliner's and mautuainaker's
bill. No, no, Aaron, Mr. Lawrence isn't
.your manolepend on it. He'd use up the
ten thousand pounds in less than two
years.
" Well, Betsey, that's pretty clear talk,"
said Mr,. Little, taking' a long breath.
"I'm rather afraid, after what. you say,
that Mr. Lawrence is not my man. But
what am I to.do?" and his Tokio fell into
a troubled tone. "I must have more
eupit
al, or—." Mr. Little 'paused.
• "Or what?" His wife looked at him
steadily, and without any signs of weak
anxiety.
" Or I may become bankrupt"
"I'm sorry to hear you say that, Aaron,"
and Mrs. Little's voice trembled",percept
bly. "That I'm glad yOu've told.me. The
new parlor carpet, of course, I . shall not
order." •
" Oh, as to that, the amount it will cost
can make no greater difference," said Mr.
Little. "The parlor does look shabby=;
and I know -you've set your heartun a new
carpet."
" -
Indeed, and it mill make a difference
then," replied, the little' woman in her de
cided way. "The last feather breaks the
camel's back. Aaron Little. shalt nerer
fail because of his wife's extravag,anre.
I woulMt have ,a new carpet. now, if it
were offered to me at.half price."-,. _
"You area braye,. true wornati,e Betsy,"
said.Aaron,lcissing his wifeair, in a.glow of

wars to help thy hnsband,.either in Rivng
or in earning, as the mie my be. But let
.ns: talk more about Your affairs`; let me
the trouble nearer. Must you have
ten thousand pounds right away?",
"Oh, no, no it , is not so bad as that.
rwas only . looking'abeatl, and seeking to
provide the means priy
menta. I don't want, a partner so far as
the business itself Is u . oucerned. I don't
like partnerships; they are almost always
accompanied with annoyances or danger.
It Wits the' Money I '‘rats after; not the
man." . -
" The money would come dearly at the
price of the mail, if you took M.r. Lsw
renec for a partlier. At least that is my
opinion. but lam glad to.hear you say
Aaron, that you are KIM immediate
danger. May ,not, the "storm be weathered
by reeffii.•'sinl as the,sailors say.
By r;ducing-eipenies

Mr. Little shook his head,
Don't Say 'no too quickly,", replied the
wife. "Let us pi over the :Whole matter
at home and at the' store. Suppose, one
or two thousand pound:3.3l - cm saved in the

"That suns would make me safe for the
two months, but - where is the five hundred
piundsto come from, Betsey ?"
"Desperate remedies," replied the bravo
little wornau.in a resolute way. "I'm' not
afraid of the, red flag."
"What do you mean by the red- flag?"
" Let ns sell of out furniture at netion,

- "N{'e won't try that yet, Betsy," said

"Bat scinnithing:triust be done. The
