An Interesting Sketch.
MARRIAGE
AND
HOUS EKEE PING.
15Y ASl'irALTOK.
When I took a rib nnd Ftartcil house
kccpiiifr, my mother said, '.Toa, never do
something lor nothing, mid look y11 after
a pack of lazy lmzzics that run from house
to hoiic gathering scandal, and Lolpin
their neighbors through uth short din
nersfor they always happeu to call at
meal times. Shun thorn, I say, Joe, or
they will bankrupt you, seperato you from
your wife, and finally drive you out of
house and homo. Ita all true, Joe. what
1 say. You have only teen the world in
miuiaturo yet. I have seeu both sides and
almost both endi.'
Well, thinks I to myself, tho old lady
has beeu behiud the curtain has had lad
neighbors, and was growing childish in the
bargain.
I had rather a liking for a friend now
and then; but had never yctbecn to house
keeping. I fancied, however, that I could
manage such business tojerably well at tho
same time, but I had everything to learn,
and bad tutors to begin with.
My wife was an affable little person and
younger than de.-irable for tho head of a
family, but she was 'such rt dear good
soul,' as people say, that everybody liked
her. She always had a dollar or so for a
charitable institution a spare dress for a
poor friend, a loaf of bread for a beggar,
aud such a heait to help mo out of trouble
would lend her watch or jewelry to a
fiijiid at any time to spout' when she
failed to have the required amount to loan
or rather to give away, for payment was
never thought of, uor was anything ever
returned that their claws encompassed.
Nevertheless I thought 1 could mould my
wife to my own views in duo course of
time.
As time advanced tho more I thought of
my mother's advice, for I have learned
to respect her opinions always taking in
to consideration the goodness of heart of
my wife, and tho possibility of sbarpera
and meddlers one day getting tho best of
her by too much conlidenco on her part.
Still I had faith in her good senso and the
purity of her motives ; beside. I felt a
match for anything that I should come in
contact with, especially in managing aud
eoutroling my own affairs.
My wife was beloved by everybody,
aud especially these nieddliug, living ma

notes into everybody's business but their
own ; for, ns my mother told me they be
gan to grow troublesome within u few
nionthj, and their frequent calls wero any.

friend, although just left tho table ouo
relishes a meal out better than at home
aud a thousand such excuses of tho kind
would ring upon my ears from theso strol

formed to annoy their uufortunato acquain
tances and neighbors.

like ordering them out of tho house. 13ut

without interruption or intermission, ex
cept scarcdy long enough to tako breath.
She coutiuued 'I bball stay at least a
week and manage your household affairs,
for I know what it is to be pestered with
servants there's no depending on them .
Poor Mr. Pegram will And no dinner to
day,' aud she might have added, with all
propriety, as usual 'and you know I al
ways make good dinners, toppiug off with

band in such a good humor. I really
fear 1 shall worry you, but ouo cannot
help giving vent to their feelings.'
To which Mrs. Peters must say some
thing, however sick and miserable. Put
I nothing would do but actually driving the

i the fir.it chapter in housekeeping. The

i in practice. .Xcw York Alius!
Labor and "Wait
Yes ; young man, learn to labor! Don't
go idling about, imagining yourself a Due
gentleman, but labor ; not with the hands
merely while the head is doing something
else, (uodding perhaps,) but with tho whole
soul aud body too. No matter what the
work be, if it is worth doing at all, it is
Worth doing well ; so put your whole mind
to it, bend every energy to the task, aud
you will accomplish your object.
If you are a clerk, with ouly a small
sallery, don't be discouraged, work away,
bo faithful in all things, keep your eyes
open, be strictly houest, live within your
income, labor wiih your heart in the cause;
patiently wait, aud your lime will como.
Other clerks havo risen to eminence; why
not you.
If a mechanic, stick to your business,
hammer away, let nothing entice you from
the path of integrity ; keep your mind up
on your work ; respect your self ; labor
cheerfully, and though small your com
pensation, 'the good tiiiio is surely com-
iug, you will yet bo appreciated.
Many a mcchaniu has built the
by which he has ascended to high
ladder
honors.
So may you
If you bcloug to auy of tlio learned
professions, don't hang out your sign, then
fold your anna and go to sleep, expecting
to bo roused somo day and invited to tako
tho highest scat in the land. That is no
way to gain distinction, unless it bo as a
drone; but keep wido awako ; stir about.
You will improvo your health by tho ex
ercise, if nothing more. If you have no
business calls to attend to, drive deeper
into your books ; you can tudy if you
can't practice, and be gaining kuowlodgo
if not niouey.
Keep straight forward iu the path where
your feet havo been placed ; labor with
your might, mind aud strength, and your
reward is not far distant.
AVhatcver your occupation, inako no
hasto to bo rich ; if you aro long gather
ing you will bo more careful about scat
tering, and thus eland a better chance of
having your old ago supportable by tho
industry and prudenco of your youugor
days. It is by drops tho ocoau is filled,
yet how vast aud deep. Tho toa-shoro is
composed of single grains of sand ; yet
how far it ttrcohes around tho mighty wa
ters. Thus it is by hinglo efforts and uu
woaried labor that fame and honor aro ut
taiucd. Csay llierc is a tcudeucy in all untutored
miuds, and not iu tlam aiouu, to consider
everything piofouud that is obocuro

Cost of tho Negroes.
The President and the Congress of
tho United States have solemnly pledged
tho American people to buy of their
owners, if they will sell them, the four
, millions of slaves now held in bondage in
the South. This emancipation policy
! is now part and parcel of the policy and
financial programme of the present Ad
ministration. Under tho influence of that
policy the slaves of the District of Col
umbia have already cost one million of
dollars, for which an appropriation has
bron inado by Congress.
Mr. Cloodloc, an Abolitionist, and off
ice holder under the CScuoral Government
at Washington, has written a pauiphlrt
intended lo elaborate anil expound tho
views of tliu present Administration on
ihio engrossing subject. Here is an ex
tract !
"I have shown what the compensation
to the border States would be at two
different rates of payment per capita for
tho slaves, and it will havo been Keen
thai I have favored the more liberal scale.
I now proceed lo show what would bo
the cost of redeeming the whole slave
population of tho Union at thu same
rates.
"Hy (ho census of last vcar there were
.I.Oo'-'.SOl slaves in tho United States aud
Territories. I have already shown that
'lol,'Ml, which belonged to the border
States, would be worth, at ?250 each,

332,300. There remains lo bo disposed

Covemtneiit would bo S!)S8,200,250. At
tho highest into of 8300, the slaves in
the rebel fitatcs would bo worth 1,040,-

Tlio population of Pennsylvania is one

the above calculation, which time will

and is afraid Stanton would bailor him if
ho would "blab," It is quito evident the
people were looking at him "through tho
fog" before ho was elected President.
Put here's Mr. Lincoln's speech word for
word.
''When birds and animals aro looked
at through a fog they arc seen to disad
vantage, aud their size is'grcatly increased;
but when the fog clears away, tho effect is
diminished aud they appear in their natural
proportions. And so it might be with you
if I wero to attempt to toll you why I
went to sec Gen. Scott. I can only say
that my visit to West Point did not have
the iniportauco which has been attached
to it ; but it concerned matters that you
understand quite as well as if I were to tell
you all about them. Now, I can only re
mark that it had nothing to do with making
or unmaking of any general in tho country.
(Laughter and applause.) Tho Secretary
of War, you know, holds n pretty tight

tell more than they ought to ; and I'm a
fraid that if I blab too much, ho might
draw a tight rciu on mc." (Laughter and
applause.)

somo evil disposed persons, who knocked
the four newspaper forms into pi, scattered
types miscellaneously over tho cases pour

number of leaves out of a dictionary, and
committed various other mischiefs. In
fact it was tho worst lookiug printing office
wc ever saw. Sueh acts cannot failt to
incur the condemnation of every good cit
izen. To cneourago them is to invoke
mob law, and bring into jeopary the prop
crty and tho lives of everybody. If a
newspaper do not suit a man, if it is bis
privilogo to refuso to patrouizo it; if it
violate any law, it is his duty to assist in
punishing its publishers by law. Put it
is no man's privilege to vent any dislike
by acts of violence. That is incipient an
archy the beginniug of tho destruction of
all social obligations, law, aud safety.

difference in tho fineness of a bit linen is
not much. Man is a handful of clay which

'They are Congressmen, aro they ?' ask

'So they say, sir.'
'Well let them pass and go whero they
