" I wonder yon always dressed yourself and children so well, Laura, when you were so bent on economising." " That was part of my eoonomy, Lida. I find a good artiole lasts longer than a po:r one, while the trouble of ntafcipg ia the same; and the children feel more sqlf respect, and really happier than when shabb ly dressed. It is not economy to buy a poor article nor the very best either. Garments of the medium quality are the most serviceable, common good delaine, for twenty-five cents a yard, lasts better for the children's dresses than wool delaine at fifty oenta a yard ; while delaine for a shilling is not worth making op." " But to my certain knowledge yon give away a great deal. I saw you myself put a dollar in the plate for missions, one Sabbath at out church; when I felt that a quarter waa really more than I knew how to spare. I think that lather inconsistent with economy." "There 1 eonnot agree with yon. We are nonrthe poorer ever by what we give to the Lord. I sincerely believe that He has returned into our boeoma twenty fold all that we ever gave to Hie cause. Not that this should be our motive, for all we possess is His, and we are only hisatewards; but then His many precious promises to those who honor Him with the first fruits of all their increase, are intended to be an encouragement to trust freely to Him, even in the times of doubt and perplexity." " Well, it is still mysterious to me, with all your savings, how you have managed to get so much together." " I know it seems so to one who haa never tried the experiment; but just try it once, and yon will ba astonished to see how the sum counts tip. I have never felt above earning something by my Rewirlif machine when I could, and many odd dollars haa it brought me in to add to our little stock- If we had not boen willing to save the dime*, and eveo pennies, we should never owned a home." " Well, Laura, I should like the result well enough, but fear I should never learn to be as prudent and cateful as you are.— So I must content myself to live among these tiresome brick and mortar houses to the end of my days." " Just try faithfully (me year, Lida, and I dare say you will have courage to persevere. You and your husband are both young, and the world is before you. It depends more on yourselves than on oircurastances that you make it. ltcmcmber the motto our old mathematical professor used to give us, when we came to veary hard problems, " We can because we think we Can " save it by freeing all the ilavea, I would do it; and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about Slavery and the eolored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union : and when I forbear, I forbear beoause I do not believe it would help to save the Unidn. I shall do leu ! whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do wore whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.

There is hair an acre of gronnd attached, and a nice grass-plot, wheic the children can tumble about ta their heart's content, without being disturbed by -my notice 'to keep off the gross.'" "Hut how did yiDu manage to buy these dreadful times? Your income is do larger than ours, and we think it all we Can do 'o live. And. to tell the truth, Laura," her voice sunk to a confidential whisper, "we ore several hundred dollars in debt. How it is ever to be paid is more than I can see. It worries uie daily." No wonder the vi»itor's countenance assumed a troubled expression, for what burden can compare to that which a weight of hopeless debt imposes? One who can be at ease in the enjoy meat of heme comforts, when he feela they are not payed for, must have feelings peculiar to himself and not aft all to be envied. The discomfort of self denial in luxuries, or even in comforts, cannot compare with the feelings of distress which the consciousness of debt produces. "We thought it the best time to buy, ss the property was much lower than last year. We have been saving the mouey tor it these eight years and now have enough and a little over. The sooner we move into it the better for ull of us especially the children. Just think what a change it will be from this dusty, close street, to a homo with pure air all about us, and a 'real out doors to our house' as Qeorgie says. The dostpr says it is the only medicine our Gracie needs; and I mean they shall all three enjoy it to their fall extent this next summer." Foreign and Domestic MARBLE, Commission Merchants When Fremont proclaimed Freedom to the ■laves of Rebels, you constrained him to modify his proclamation into rigid accordance with the terms of the existing law. It waa your clear right to do to. I now ask of you conformity to the principle so sternly enforced upon him. I ask you to instruct your Oenerals and Commodores that no loyal person—certainly none witling to render service to the National cause—is henceforth to be regarded as the slave of any traitor. While no rightful Government was ever before assailed by so wanton and wicked a rebellion as that of the slaveholders against our National lift, I am sure none ever before hesitated at so simple and primary an act of selfdefense as to relieve those who would serve and saye it from ehattle servitude to theae who are wading through seas of blood to subvert and destroy it. Future generations will with difficulty realise that there couldljave been hesitation on this point.

If there bi ih it uny inference whioh I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here argue against them. If there be perceptible in it an Impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend,'whoee heart I have always supposed to be right. As to the poliqy I "seem to be pursuing," as yo\i say, I have not meant to.leeve a»y one in duubt. I would save the Union. X. wotyld save it the shortest Hrur under the Constitution.

What wo gain bv our own exertions is really worth a great deal more to us, because it develop* our own powers. Dr. Adams says, ' there is an invisible wealth in possessions acquired by personal industry and economy, which cannot be computed by the numeration table.', You aak bow wo got the money, and I will tell you, cousin When we first commenced housekeeping, wa 'set up,' at my suggestion, a Bavi(ig8-bank in the corner of the bureau, and resolved to save something, if only half a dime, out of all out earning*, toward buying A home someday. My husband rather laughed over the projeot, and bad no great faith in the results; but I persevered, and the first year's success encouraged us to continue it. Year ' after year we kept on, until the snow ball | assumed quite a respectable siie. We have indulged ourselves in few expensive luxuries ; but I believe we have enjoyed our many simple ones more than those who expend thousands every year on mere amusements. The obildreu have frequent rides by cars or staamboat, and every few weeks a half day in the country. By study and forethought I have managed to prepare many excellent dishes for our table at a trifling expanse. I always prepare a new dish myself, and do not trust Ann with it until I am sure she knows bow.
