When the spring o pen4 Wn' waQtd a "eW BUlt of tlotnes He tat lo the tailor's and got samples of clot frith a scale? of prices. There, was .-JtWoJ suit to be Lad for twealy dol lars ; and another for thirty :n pitched upon the thirty dollai suit, ! i But, argued Entna this suit for tweni ty dollaas is just as good. ; yhen the cloth is made up you could never tell the diffar en'ce ;but the difference'ia'price we should feel sensibly.' ! i ; Pooh, Emma I You talk like a crazy wotPi.u. I only have a new suit ihrougha out once in two years, and while I am a- bout ill might as well have a good one' v hat would folks think to see nie savin or .money off from my back ? Ten dollars is but a trifle when we consider how seldom I get such a suit.' Bat John, you must remember what we wish to do. We wish to own a home j. ' of our own one of these days; and to reach that eud we must be economical in all things Ten dollars is just a week's pay.' 'But the clothes, Emma you would not have me go so poorly dressed,- would your , ;- ; " f. 'No, my husband. But see : In -pur chasing clothes we. look i first to our com fort ; then to the fashion ; and then la our means. Now this suit fjr twenty dollars will look well enough, and I know it will wear as well, if not better, than the oth er;' ; . v ' '' But John couldu't see. He was deter mined not to appear mean in dress, ind he must have the thirty dollar suit. On the following day Emma went to the tailor,' with whom she had been ac" qnainled frem childhood,aud a.-ked if John had ordered his suit. She was informed that he had. Emma examined the differ- euf fabrics and fiually found some cloth from wLich the jrartnents could be made for twenty dollars, and the U.ailor-as'ured her that they would wear better, and, in ihe end, be of far more value to John.than the thiity dollar suit. TLe fine broad -cloth. would ke 'T'-H'd foV. nothing for him to wear-. at l.is businesa aftei it begnn tp loe ils-first . .. j , lustre. , - . - Ii vw J-ar-h decided that the . suit i oaould be made fmui a hiaterial which the wife and the tailor had selected, and for twenty dollars, Emma promising to. bear the respocsibility ; but John was to know colhing atut it. He; was to pay the thir tn dollars as he had arranged.. In ; due time Johu came home with his new suit, and when he put it on, he felt very much pleased w ith ai.e effect ' The pants vei'e of fin. strong doeskin, and th coat and vest of handsome and durable maten alsf . ' " ; I V C' f They look better in th garments.made j up -than they did befer' said John. On lv this cloth don't look quite so Sua as it did in the-piece ; but it feels firmer. 'But it kind o' raises the nap in making I: sup-- pese. I ! - . Of course E.nma admired the suit very much, and her husband was happy when he found that she said !.uothing about the" price. - He wore the clothes to meeting on" the following day, and when they were huug up on Sunday evening, he was very lj. careful to have them turned inside out, and kept from the dust; because, as he said 'such clothes mu rfnVbe abused.' On ilonday Emma went to the tailor's and ot the ten dollars which she had so surreptitiously saved. . ,' I Not long after this it became necessary to purchase a carpet, for the parlor. 4. Thus far they had had no carpet in thattocm, though they had long been planning to have one: - They had been purchasing gradually. 'There were some expenses of the year before, which? would not come in the present year, and a carpet and a sofa had been set .down for the present sea' son.- ." One Monday morning John and hi wife went y Jook at some carpets. ; John was bent upon a three-ply. He knew no difference between dviddeminster and three-ply; or between twd.ply and no 'ply' at all. But he knew that Brown, and Jen kins, and. refer?, and Kopps, all l:adwtbree ply," while Emma knew that Brown's three ply was only two ply ; and that Pe ters was a second hand affair which he bought at auction. ; - 'Now for our'use a good Kidderminster will answer every purpose,' said Ejuma. 'We can find one just as fine, and just as good, only it wont have so many thick nesses. When the surface issworn thro' the carpet is done ; and until that it is good enough; We shall not wear out, the up per surface for many years... And thep a two-ply carpet we can tuin, one side looks just as well as the other. We can have a daik carpet, or a light one as', we please. Come, it will be much cheaper to buy a Kidderminster.' J - ' But. John could not do it. ", He would not be mean about a parlor carpet. It's1 only a trifle twenty-five cents a yard-j-that'a all.'' ; 1 'But we are. to get tweoty.llve yard) I t . ' i- HILL, John : and that will make a difference of Aiorlrt rtllnra and tpvcntir firfl cpnts.' o . . ,. .. . j . . . WeIl and'what is thatwhen we think how lonr we are to use the carpfct. It is something which we shan't buy again for a good manyars." . j Emma urged she spoke' of the true in dependence and the false ; and she allud ed to tte time when they, hoped to hare money (enough to purchase a home of their own. O John understood ail that. He meant to save but he' would not be mean. Eieht or nine dollars was' a -mere trifle when wo consider that it is for a carpet that must be in their parlor for jears. J It so happened that the dealer was an own uncle to Emma, and she managed to whisper to him her plans. He had two carpets so nearly the same pattern that they could not be distinguished when a part, save that one was two ply and the o ther threj ply.. John bough I and paid for the former one dollar and .twenty-five cents a yard ; but the other one was sent home, knd Emma put the eight dollars and three quarters in her bank. ' j John Hodge admired his carpet when his wife had made it put it down. ;He said. now iiiucii oilier ii iuuilcu iuau ouc u them cheap things would.' Emma might have felt some compunctions had sle not known that her husband was governed 'wholly b) what other people had, rather than what he reailj needed. And theu, again, he knew no difference between the various qualities of wollen fabric?, being only anxious to have his friends think he had the host. When the carpet was dow n it became necessary to get the sofa. E ven Emma. felt that their parlor was ra , ther bare. They had not seats for a small party ; and as they must have more seats they might as well havej good ones-have them on a sofa. Up to this time Kmaia had manaejed to soqe quitela sum of money. Since 'the first. of April she had done the marketing: Un til tin's John had always bought and sent 1 home the. provisions ; auuin triTsdejiirrt: meut, as iu nearly ;iall others, l e never looked at "trifles. Seldom did he go into the market; without repeating the old sentence "Well I'll have it j its only a trifle.' He thought it very mean to a.k a butcher to eat a Kg of- lamb, when , the whole only came to fifty cents ; and he. blushed scarlet at the very thought of re- fusincr earlv f.int because ' it was birjh j in price.' If Joiics got strawberries," of course he could get strawberries. And if hisgro- j Cfcr i,aj aij T a ,-ew uftrU Gf fjrre "fresh ra-berries on purpose for him,' he would as soou have piv.ked his friend's jwjeket as to have refused them because he could not afford it. :- ; . Bat Emma had no such feelings. She felt that she was.tradiu with herhusband's money; and she was determined to show him that she was worthy the trust. On the previous January they had reckoned ;up the grocer's- and butcher's bills, ant 'cund that' the average for the year had been ; exactly five dollars and fortyxsix 'cents a week ; so this sum Emma claimed, iand she had it handed to her each Satur day' eveninsr. Fiom this she managed to save considerable, and yes John found no fault with the living. He never fared bet ter. Ashe did cone of the marketing he saw but little of the early, hot house fruit, and spjeared pothing about it.. And in fact, he never had ; but' the trader. knew his easy, timorous disposition, and they put upon him what they pleased. Let the grocer say,-r- , j Ah Hodge you'rojust in time. Here' are some splendid new blackberries. I kept 'em . purpose for ye.; , Jones wanted 'em but I told him no, I'd saved 'em for you. ; I'll send em right over.' j Perhaps John would venture 'How high do they come ?" i O,: only twenty-five cents a quart. But look :at the berries the first of the,' sea- son I' ' -! And John was surely stuck for the j berr ries, half green, perhaps, out of season small measure and just woni nothing at all to John Hodge; f ; ! h. 13ut these things were not prasticed up on Emma. She bought what she wanted; ust as little as she wanted; and never what he did twt want: She exerted herself in her cooking j sud in their proper season she purchased as much fruit as was whole some. ': - i At length John and his wife went to bok for a sofa. There" was quite an ex tensive furniture stored iri the viliagej' and there they fouud all sizes and patterns. After lookin for an' hour Jbhn settled down upon a sofa, the price of which' was thirty- five dollars. Mr. Bernes has a sofa of this very pat tern, said the dealer, who was a p'articu lar friend of Jchoya, aod' believe' h6 will N. SATURDAY sell it very cheap.! He is going away, and has sold everything else.' .! 'Pooh V said John. 'I dont want any second hand stuff in mv -house. Thunder ! what' an idea !' , )' . ; U '.jj-f' V ! 'But how has be sold all but that !' ask-; ed Emma . ' ' '' j. - ' - ; Because the family who have moved in to his house bought all the rest.. They had a sofa and chai.s to match, so they: did not want! ' his.' ' "::: r ; ; j j; Emma susrsrested to her husband that they j should look at Carnes' sofa, t but he would not listen to it. ' He I had read a- bout this secon dhand furniture ; he said, and I didn't want anything to do with it. jThe sofa was selected, and !Johji prom ised to pay for it within three months.- He had not the money then- After this ihe husband went tohis work,1 leaving his (wife j to go home ! But she only went ' to nitnre sloie. Ve said before that this cabiceKmaker was a particular mend ot Jotin s.

She asked him if the sofa of which he had spoken was uninjured. ' - Jusi asVood as it was the dav I sold it to him, returned the dealer who entered ai once inio me spu.L o! r.mma s pau, auu : 1 i . 11 1 .i t 1 .1. ; wisnea 10 nqip ner. rui ue up his will mind tt go to uaiuorniaj ana go ue He fceeds ail the mouev he can raise,, and will sell for almost anything be fore he would leave it unsold, Why not go p. t F.Kn'iCOS. a; it HC-rr r H onl. crosj the next street.' Emma started- and promised : to meet : hirii there -in fifteen minutes. She went! and! noti onlv saw the sofa but Ibund the Owiier there. She told him she had but , '; - v f '.lit- 1 1 v i Utile uaoutv, lut that she wanted a. sofa. He said he lad paid only, thirty live, dol lars for it only a year before, aud had us ed It but a very few times.,' He would sell it for twenty dollars.

But you knof the clothes have plea it.

The traders had learned that she neededi no help in purchasing. hen she entered the.store she knew what she j came for, sttd just the quantity and quali- ty she needed ;! and she bought just' that, and, no more. :On the first of November esofa was paia tor, ana Jimma receiyea the thirty .five dollars from the cabinet ma- Kfir. One cold, clear, sharp morning John Hod :e wished his 6weet wife a "Happt New Year.'
