Extravagance is a comparative term ; and ho who, with an in come of a few hundreds, exceeds its bounds in his expenditures, i3 more extravagant than thcposesssor cf millions, whose lavish , hand scatters thousand upon thousands from his revenue. Jacob Flagg had a little some thing left of his first year's gains, and a yet larger sum at the close of the second teu- fol'1 after the third. his condition improved, ho cautiously and advisedly iuiprovel his mode of living, lie removed to a more genteel boarding house and then a better still ever careful, however, not to deceive himself and run a head of dutv. The second change Was rife with momentous influence upon his destiny; for there boarded in tho same house a wi dow and her .pretty daughter, the last an heiress worth a Oiou&and dollars! This wi dow, named Watkins not her real name, by the bye, for on our veracity wo are tel ling a true story, and it might give offence to be too particular was not overstocked with riches, yet piqued herself as much on her slender jointure, and the thousand dol lars Helen was to possess on her wedding day, as though her hundreds had been th'usauds, and her daughter's thousand a million. Helen was sensible, very sensible, and resisted, in a go xl degree, tho 'unhappy influence of her mother's weakness; but most women, not beinr conversant with business, do not appreciate the true value o money; and it is not amazing that Helen, when it was constantly a theme of exultation and pride with he mother, should imagiue at laat, lier thousand dollars a tortunc Fla, ufter a time, loved her loved her with his whole hcait, and was as tenderly loved in return.

This gentleman came to thi3 city when a ynng man, a joor adventurer. lie left his father's humble fireside in the country, with a blessing and a little pack of clothes and with a.Cve dollar note in his pocket all he was worth in the world he turned his steps towards New York ; ignorant of mankind of tho world's guilts and crimes of the thousand seeking, like himself, a livelihood, who congregate in this moral whirlpool but full of energy. It was distant several days travel, but he did not greatly diniim ish his scanty funds, for the farmer's door, at which he" applied at nightfall, was ever open to receive him; and a few hours of la bor, the succeeding day, requited for he would have scorned to accept of charity the h?pitality extended to him. He sought a mean, cheap lodging-bouse, when at last he trod with eager foot, the streets of the city; and although wondering curiosity wa3 awake, he wasted no time in idleness, but mhIuIousIv cmnlovcd himself in seeking occupation. Appearances are deceitful, an it is dangerous to put faith in them; but the merchant who listened to Jacob Flagg's story, and taking the honesty depicted in his fact as an endorsement of its truth, made him his porter, and never had reason to re gret it. For four years he was a faithful servant diligent, industrious, honest, and frugal. Closinir his duties soon after nightfall, his evenings were bis own ; and, by the light of his lamp, ho devoted them to tne improve ments of his m.ind. At the end of the four years, with what he had saved from h earnings and some little assistance from his employer, he opened a small shop in an ob scure street, wherein he vended a small stock of dry go-xlv From tha beginning he suc ceed a 1 ; slowly in lee I, yet ha succeeded. And tho majority may succeed in the same way. Whatever one's income may be, bow- " It should never be cast iu his teeth by bis wife 6 crumbling relations that ho was sup ported by her;" and there are few who will accuse him of swerving from his principles, although ho did love Helen Watkins, and she had a thousand dollars He married her; andcii the wedding day, pursuant to her fathers s will, the thousand dollars were placed in b lagg s hands. Do ing as he thought best for their mutual ad vantage, he invested it in his business, and instead of dashing out with an establish ment, iciuaincd at the boarding house. For a tim;, all went well. ' A loving bride thinks littl for months of any thing but love and happiness, and Helen never spoke of the thousand dollars. FJag furnished CO her with money sufficient for her desire the engrossment of her thoughts otherwise limited her wishes. But when a year had g"no by, she often asked for articles of dross or luxury luxu ry to them- which her husband could not afford to give, and gently, but resolutely denied her. . " It's very strange,5' thought Helen to herself, "that when he has all that thousand dollars of mine, he won't let me have what "I want." Her mother fostered these complaining thoughts and on one occa sion when she had 'set her heart on some thing which he refused to purchase, she ventured to vent her disappointment in re proaches; and referred to the thousand dol lars, which she was sure she ough to be at liberty to tpendsince it was all hr own. rlagg was astonished, indignant, but rest trained himself, kindly reasoned 'with her, aud represented to her how paltry a sum, in reality, a thousand dollars were, and how long ago it would have been exhausted, had it been in her posession, by the procurement of half the articles she had solicited. But her pride prevented her from listening with calmness, and she only gathered enough of his explanations to excite, in her warped judgment, suspicion that it was only given to excuse himself for his meanness. . In a short time the thousand dollars came up again- and again--and again; the last immediately after break fast; Flagg could bare no more. With rejoinder, he suddenly left his house. His wife saw that he was more than ordinarily moved that his face wore a startling expression, and regretful penitent, alarmed, she called earnestly and fearfully for him to return. But it was too late I It was a sullen, stormy, wintry, chilly day, when Flagg left his home that morning; it was too,' at that very climax of one of those mercantile crisis when the rich feel poor, and the poor beggars,and Flagg breasting the storm bravely thus far congratulated- himself that in a few days he should be safe,' and his fortune - golden forever. How bitter were his sensations as he came up Broadway that morning splashing through the rain! He loved Helen dearly he knew that she loved him. Their days were all happiness, save that destroyed by that one foible, and let cimo what would, he determined to give her a lesson that should last her the rest of her life,"-' . ' . ' " : ; - He did not return to dinner. ' Helen wait ed for him, and, robbed by her anxiety aud remorseefher appetite, would not go down her self but sat all the afternoon; lookingfrom the window in tiro deserted and dreary street, weeping, sometimes- as though her heart would break. When day-light , had nearly gone, and she began to strain her eyes to distinguish objects without, she discovered jlr'm approaching. Slie could not she dared no go to meet him; but when ho opened the door, she could not repress a shriek, at the L-iggaxdj2083: of -,his ".coentenance- lie came to her side, and taking her hand, said in a voiee broken by exhaustion aud emotion while he extended with the other a roll of -bank note; - ' - '. ' . ' ; ' ' "Helen, there is your thousand dollars; I have had toil, -mid anguish and pain enough to get them for you iu these dreadful times; but I have resolved, and would not be dis appointed. Take them, tlo with them as you like, and we will be wholly happy, for then you never can reproach me more." "No, no not for the world!" sobbed Helen, sinking on her knees in shame; "oh, husband forgive me ! I shall never be guilty again!" and she tried to make him accept the notes. He was, however, resolute; well knowing from his character that what he had determined on as a proper course he would not swerve from, she dismissed the subject and they were afterwards indeed hap py. He never asked to what, purpose she appropriated her thousand doil&rs, but -it was plain enough that he had expended them neither for dress nor ornament. If any thing, sko was more frugal than ever and he was compelled to question her of her wants and wishes, when he was disposed to gratify theio, as he was liberal and free so soon as his prosperity would authorize H. Reader, this Fiagg is the same hale old fellow whom we have spoken of as riding in his carriage in Broadway ; aud that wife is this same Helen. That daughter ah, I can tell a story of her ! She is to be mar ried next week, to a young man not worth a penny who loves her, aud e;wes not a piu for her father's money, confiding, as he does, in his own energies which the old man took care to make sure of before he gave his consent. But the thousand dollars; it has been accumulating this twenty years has been adding to constantly by the mother, and now, a good round sum wc have it from good authority at least twenty thousand will be a gift to the daughter on her mar riage day; but we warrant you,- she will hear the whole story of " the thousand dol lars," and be- warned not to suspect an hon est, high-minded, loving man, of marrying Jor money. ' Loss of a Whole Family by a Flood. The Keokuk (Iowa) papers contain accounts of the loss of a whole family by the break ing up of the ice in the Pes Moines river, which formed a gorge, atfd caused the water to back up at a great distance and overflow farms and houses. Two families, named Frederick and Cross, finding themselves sud denly surrounded by water, attempted to make their escape in a canoe to the' high lands, but as the canoe was too small, it was determined that Frcqonok and his family should go on first, while Cross, his wife, and two children; one four and the other one and a'half years old, remained on a log. It was then about 8 o,clock'm the evening, and the weather was intensely cold. Fcede- nek and fiimily reacned the shore nearly irozen. A man named Colvin then took the canoe and went to the relief of Cross and family. lie lound them sufienng intensely irom wet and cold. After taking them into the canoe he set out for shore. The canoe up set and Colvin then took the children and by holding on to branches with their feet in the water all kept afloat. Although the shore was within hailing distance, and their situa tion was made known to the people, all ef forts to rave them proved unavailing.

Say just what yon mean to do on every occasion; and take for granted you mean to do what is right. If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell, him plainly why you cannot: You will wrong him and yourself by equivocation of any kind. Never do a wrong thing to make a friend, nor to keep one; the man who requires you. to do so is dearly purshased at a sacrifice.: Deal kindly but firmly with all men; you will find it the policy which wears best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not. If you have any fault , to find, with any one, tell him, not others of what you complain. There is no: more dangerous expenment than that of undertaking to be one thing to a man,s face, and another be hind his back. We should live, act and speak out of doors, as the phrase is and say, and do what we are willing should be known and read by men.
