The fact ir, 'm aclerk in a down-town store, at a salucy of 3600 per annum, and a pretty wife and baby to support out of it } suppose this income wiil sound amazingly swall to your two and three thousand dollar effice- holders, but nevertheless we contrive to live very comfortably upon it. We live on one floor of an unpretending little house, for which we pay S150 per annum, and Kitty—my wife, you Hl under-tand—does all her own work; su that we lay up a neat little sum every year i've got a balance of twoor three hundred dol- lars at the savings’ bank, the hoard of several yeurs, and it is astonishing how rich I feel! Why, Rothschild himselt isn’t a cireumstance to me! Well, [came bome with my extra bill, and showed it triumphantly to Kitty. who of course was delighted with my industry and thrift “Now, my love,” said I, ‘just add this to our account at the bank, and with interest at the end of the year’ —— Forthwith I commenced easting interest and calculating ia my brain. Kitty was silent, and rosked the cradle musingly with her foot. « I've been thinking, she said, after a moment's pause, “ that © you've got this extra money we might afford to buy a new rug This is getting dreadful shabby, my dear, you must see.”’ Llooked dolefully at the rug: it was worn and shabby enough, that was a fact. “ean get a beautiful new velvet pattern for seven dollars,’’ resumed my wife. *: Velvet—seven dollars!" groaned I “Well, then, a common tufted rug like this, would only cost three.”’ said my cautious bet- terhalf, who, seeing she couldn't carry her first ambitious point, wisely withdrew her guns “That’s more sensible,” said I.“ Well, we'll see about it.’ “And thero’s another thing I want,”* con- tinued my wife, putting her hand coaxingly on my shoulder, ‘ and it’s not at all extravagant, either.” “ What is it?” I ed, softening rapidly. “T saw such a lovely silk dress-pattern on Canal street, this morning, and I can get it for six dollars—only six dolla: Harry! It’s the chespest thing | ever saw. “But haven't you got a very pretty green silk dress ’** “That old thing! Why, Marry, I’ve worn it ever since we've been married.” ** Is it soiled. or ragged ?”” “No, of course; but who wants to wear the same green dress forever? Everybody knows it is the only silk 1 have.” “ Well, what then ?” “That's just a man’s question,” pouted Kit- ty. “And I suppose you have not observed how old fashioned my bonnet is getting !"’ “Why. [ thought it looked very neat and tasteful since you put on that black velvet winter trimming.” “Of course—you men have no taste in such matters.”’ We were silent for a moment; I’m afraid we both felt a little eross and out of humor with one another. In fact, on my journey home. [ had entertained serious thoughts of exchanging my old silver watch fora more modern time- piece of gold, and had mentally appropriated the 310 to furthering that purpose. Savings bank reflections had come later. As we sat before our fire, each wrapped in thought, our neighbor, Mr. Wilmot, knocked atthe door He was employed at the same vtore as myseli, and his wite was an old family friend. “LT want you to congratulate me,”’ he said, taking aseat. “ {have purchased that littie cottage out on the Bloomington road to-day.” ~ What! that beautiful little wooden cottage with the piazza and lawn, and fruit garden be- bind ’” exclaimed Kitty. almost enviously ~ Ia it possible’ ’ I cried. A little cottage home of my own, just like that I had often ad- mired on the Bloomingdale road, had alwa been the one crowning ambition of my life—a distant and almost hopeless point, but no less earnestly desired. “Why, Wilmot,”’ said I, « how did this hap- pen” You've only been in business eight or ten years longer than I. at a salary but a trifle larger than mine, yet I could as soon buy up the mint as purchase a cottage like that.” “Well,” said my neighbor, “we have all been working to this endfor years. My wife has darned, patched, mended, and saved—we have lived on plain fare, and done with the cheapest things, But the magie-charm of the whole atfair was that we laid aside every penny that was not needed hy actual positive want Yes, I have seen my wile lay by red coppers, oue by one” Well, you are a lucky fellow,” said I with a sigh «Times are bard. you know, just now: the owner was not what you call an economical mun, and he was glad to sell even at a mod ate price. So you see that even ‘hard times’ have belped me! When vur neighbor was gone. Kitty and I looked meaningly at one another. “Harry,” said she, “the rug isn’t so bad after all, and iy green silk will do fora year longer, with care.’ * And a silver watch is quite as good for all practical purposes as a gold repeater,’’ said IL. * We will set aside all imaginary wants!" ‘The ten-dollar bill must go to the bank,” said Kitty, --and I'll economize the coppers, just as Mrs. Wilmot did. 0, how happy she will be among the ruses in that cottage garden next spring Our merry -kettle sung us acheerful little song over the glowing fire that night and the burden was, “Economy and a home of your own, amid the roses and the country air!’’— Haury Clover we Te Paper hanging is something of an item in the fitting up of dwellings.

It is then taken and hung in folds to dry, after which it goes through a printing press, capable of print- ing 3.000 pieces a day. in two or three colors, or 2.500 pieces in from five to ten colors.

VOL. XI. WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1858. NO. 1,630. CHARACTERISTICS OF AUDIENCES, Audiences are very amusingly gossiped about by Dr. Holmes, in the last number of the At- lantic nips f The funny doctor thus re- lieves his min “A new lecture has always a certain excite- ment connected with its delivery. One thinks Well of it as of most things fresh from bis inind After a few delfveries of it, one gets tired and then disgusted with its repetition. wo on de- livering it. and the disgust passes off, until. after ove has repeated it a hundred or a hun- dred and fifty times, he rather enjoys the hun- dred and first or hundred and fifty-first time, before a new audience. Lut this is on one condition—that he never lays the lecture down and lets it cool. If he does, there comes on a loathing for it which is intense, so that the sight of the old battered manuscript is as bad as sea- sicknes3.’* He goes on to speak of audiences as follows: “Two lyceum assemblies, of five hundred each, are so nearly alike that, they are abso- lutely undistinguishable in many cases by any definite mark, and there is nuthing but the place aud time by which one can tell the ‘re- markably intelligent audience’ of a town in New York or Ohio from one in any New Eng- land town of a similar size. One knows pretty well even the look the audience will have be- fore he gocs in. Front seats, a few old folk shiny headed,—slant up the best ear towards the speaker,—drop off a sleep after a while, when the air begins to get a little narcotic with carbonic acid. Bright woman's faces, young and middle-aged, a little behind these, bat towards the front—(pick out the best and lecture mainly to that.) Here and there a countenance sharp and scholar-like, and a dozen pretty female ones sprinkled about. An in- defiuite number of pairs of young people— happy. but not always very attentive. Boys in the background, more or less quiet. Dull faces here, there—in how many places? I don't say dull people, but faces without a ray of sympathy er a movement of expression. They are what kill the lecturer. These nega- tive faces with their vacuous eyes and stony lineaments pump and suck the warm soul out of him.”* The doctor pursues the subject thus : “Oat of all these inevitable elements the au- dience is genorated—a great compound verte- brate, as much like fifty others you have seen as any two animuls of the same species are like each other. Each audience laughs and each cries in just the same places of your lec- ture; that is, if you make one laugh or ery, you make all. Even those little indescribable movements which a lecturer takes cognizance of, just as a driver notices his horse’s cocking his ears, are sure to come in exactly the same place of your lecture, always. I declare to you, that, as the monk said about the picture in the convent, that he sometimes thought the living tenants were the shadows, and the painted figures the realities—i have sometimes felt as if I were a wandering spirit, and this great unchanging multivertebrate which [ faced night after night was one ever listening animal, which writhed along after me wherever I fled, and coiled at my feet every evening, turning up to me the same sleepless eyes which 1 thought I had closed with my last drowsy in- eantation.”” AC. ot AvoLtocy.—They had a ball down at Waverly the other night, which brought out some remarkable experience. Among other events, the following instance of a cuul apology took place : Bill P. is known all ver town, and Bill was at this ball in all his glory. All of his neces- saries for pleasure were on hand—good music, pretty girls, and excellent whisky. The evening assed off rapidly, as it always docs, and Bill nad about one o clock, becume pretty happy Stepping up to a young lady, he requested the pleasure of dancing with her. She replied she Was engaged— “ Weil,” said Bill, are you engaged for the next set She said she was. “Can I dance with you the next then?” “Lam engaged for that alsu ” Can I dance with you to-night 7” «No, sir.” with some hesitancy. * Go to Boston,”’ said Biil highly indignant, turning on his heel. After afew moments Bill is accosted by the brother of the young lady, and eharged with insulting sister. Bill denies, but professes himself willing to apologise, if be had done wrong, and accordingly steps up to the young lady, wheu the following conversation ensued “Miss L., | understand that I have iasulted you * You have sir!’ “ What did I say, Mise L ?” * You told me te to Boston.”” “ Well,” said Bill, “ { have to tell you, that You needn't nee _A Noverry wie “learned ‘Iheban’’ ad- Vises the ladies to try what he calls an “amusing experiment,” but which in reality would be the most barbarous sort of torment.

Dyspersia Crrep by _Music.—A corres- pondent of the Musical World says: “ About seven years ago, I suffered as severely as any one could do from indigestion. I was monthly under our own family doctor, and one of the wost eminent surgeons in the town in which I live: several months again under two other medical men, besides trying almost all kinds of things that friends recommended. I scareely dared to eat anything; and the most simple drinks would ak me with pain. Oneeveninga friend called and asked me to go with her toa musical meeting. I told her | could not, as I was intoomuch pain to enjoy ever such good singing. However, after much persuasion, 1 went, and when there, was induced to become a subseriber. Every member of the society was supposed to be a good reader of music ; and as I kuew nothing of it, except the names of the notes, I commenced taking lessons in singing. After that, my indigestion gradually left me, and in a short time I was quite well of it, and have been ever since. I cannot tell how it was itdid me so mueh good, but | know it made me very bungry—what 1 had never been for two years before; nor did | ever in wy life en- Jey my food so much before I sang, as I have since. ——$—____., Gp The Earl of Rosse, one of the first astrono- » bas told a gentleman in England that he icipates one of the most lotensely bot summers, this year, that has been known.
