When I returned again to consciousness I was lying on an easy couch, in a room dimly lighted, dily furnished. While won- dering where I was, and trying to recall what had passed, the door was slowly opened, and Lucy Ames entered the room. she was by my bedside, watching the motions and the expressions of ‘my countenance, doubt- less imagining that I was still delirious, ‘* Lucy—Miss Ames?” I said. She started back as I uttered the name, as though unwilling that I should discover her Teal thoughts; but, in a moment, recovering all self-possession, she looked calinly toward me, and asked me with a tone of affected indiffer- “Do you not feel easier now?” “Indeed, I scarcely know how I do feet,” I replied, “but there is a pain and soreness In head, and, in fact, in all my limbs, I must have been badly burt.” I had a dim recollection of the occurrence above narrated, and I felt surprised that I should have again awakened to life. which I felt, on regaining my reason, increased now momentarily. A physician was at hand, and every effort was made by him, as well as the members of Mr. Ames’ family, (in whose house Iwas then lying), in which, also, Lue: and Mr. Wesley joined, to alleviate my suffur- edge of all the facts.

Even a careless housekeeper might wake up to the suspicion of somet is more than a mistake. How many housekeepers neglect to look after the stale bread, the bits of crusts that should reserved for puddings, or carefully dried in low oven, then rolled or pounded, and hun; ina cool, alry place, to use for stuff- Toll oysters, chops, etc., in before fry- 1g?

And when Tready to clean up and empty such a looking ‘sink, ite ‘swill man again could tell where it 0. goes to. Aside from wasted bread, what other loss does this careless, untidy débris from a table involve? The pipes which pass from the sink to the sewer below in a large tion of houses, and usually with what is agoose-neck, or bend like that in a goose’s neck, underneath, can not long be kept clear when such substances are thrown iiato thesink. ‘The perforated tin or zinc which covers the top will be some protection, to be sure, puts off the evil day. It must come at last. And then the plumbers’ and carpen- ters’ bills, which are inevitable before the pipes can be cleared, must be added to the sum total of the lack of economy, or waste in small Then, again, many housekeepers complain— and justly—at their heavy gas bills. Are they careful in noting how the gas is used in their How many are burning, or turned up so high as to cause the gas to escape un- Do they wait to see if the gasis turned out, and only one left burning slightly atver leaving the Supper table, while the girls are 1? Do they know that it is llessly in the lower halls often until alate hour? Are they aware that in the morning, if not noticed, the blinds will be closed, and the gas burning at full height in the kitchen, long after the sun fs up and ready lace? Do they look well to the ir household, and see that the gas is not lettto waste in parlors or bed-rooms? It is not penurious or mean to take thought of what may seem at first of little conseqaence. Those who are not careful would be astonished at the change in their gas bills if they would watch over this one feature of household economy fora month. . How often we hear complaints of a cooking ‘The fire won’t burn, or {t burns the Oven won’t bake, or scorehes everything past eating; it smokes; the gas es- urns more coal in one day than it used to in a week; the dampers are useless; the grate can’t be turned Over—and the cook de- Clares it is all the fault of the stove. ‘Now there is no doubt that most of this trou- careless management on the cook's part; but could this be, and a good range almost worthless, if the mistress of the house gave special attention to the various parts of her domains often enough to keep the whole machine in willing and capable of thus overseeing that which is committed to her chi Does she understand how a range or stove should be man- ed, so asto be able to see where the cook led? and can she give such lessons as will show the girl that her employer fully under- stands how the-work should bedone?

Simply telling how a stoye or range should be managed will not s ; ance that a half-ruined stove will cause, and certainly will not stop the waste that must be inevitable in such cases. If anything goes wrong, the housekeeper should either take the stove apart, and see what is the m itter, or, if ifui enough, send for help to a stove manufactory or store, and stand by with the cook and see what the matter ts.

The grate musi have been filled up to the very covers, mostly with wood, covered with a little coal, until the coal was ignited; then, as the kindlings burned out, more coal Was heaped on, until the covers and the much-abused stove groaned with the furious heat. No wonder that the stove was cracked orin holes almost past repair, and kindling-wood and coal wasted most extravagantly. There 1s scarcely any other rtaining to household expenses where amount wasted for lack of economy ia small things will ‘foot up” so heavily as in the reckless waste of kindling-wood and coals, and consequent destruction of cooking stoves and ges. Home comfort depends on a good cook- ing apparatus almost more than on any other thing pertaining to the Kitchen; but no matter how perfect the patent, nothing can be so eastly order and destroyed by carelessness anagement. A lesson given by a workman acquainted with stoves, that exhibits the mischief and waste that spring from neglect, may not insure a cook's future care and truth- fulness, but it can teach the housekeeper that as the foot of the master is said to be the only warrant of success on a farm, so the eye and hand of the mistress must be most vigilant and effective to prevent waste and secure comfort in irl, and gladly, whe thought of Dllng Ilmbs to another to me, I did not - janations from her; I showed her, witnout any esitation, the letter I had just received, and Tequested her to return me such letters as I had reviousty written to her, and any other little eepsake which might, Tse, drowned the feeble flend held down the in future, only prove | {2 Wrench from its She bestowed on me a look which I shall never forget. “Do you believe this, Edward?” she asked. “J do,” I replied without hesitation. “What unimpeachable evidence!” she retort- ed, with the first impulse of pride. “J do not rely on the information coritain’ “T have seen enough my- self without asking any person’s advice or opin- mn.
