XT CORDELIA HAVENS, The night has come, and the starlight Falla on the restless sea, Like a gleam of hope through the dark ness Of a weary doubt to me. I see the fb^tn of the billow Flash like a shining rein— Then fall into silence and shadow, Like the rest that follows pain. i Oh, wonderful, beautiful billow, With your changing shadow and shine— Clasping the stain in your bosom— 1 think your life is liko rnioel Like mine, reaching through the dark ness, From the restless, moaning sea, Pleading, with ceaseless endeavor, F«r a life that may not be. You clasp your mantle, oh, billow, With gems from the brow of night; I grasp through the shadowy future Sweet raj s ot heavenward light Oh, life of ceaseless endeavor! Oh, wave of the troubled sea! Star of the weary night-watch, Beacon of faith to me! Oh, heavens, with dowers of promise! Oh, earth, with travail and care! Soul of God’s mighty conception! Peace on the brow of despair! I stand by the mighty ocean— The starlight falls on the foam; And a feeling of rest conics o’er me, Like a wanderer nearing his home. The Managing Wire. Ezra Newton had just finished.look- ing over his yearly accounts. “ Well” asked his wife, looking up, “ how do you come out ?” “ I find,” said her husband, “ that my expenses during the last year have been thirty-seven cents over a thousand dollars.” “ And your income has been a thou sand dollars?" “ Yes. I managed pretty well, didn’t I?” “ Do you think it managing well to exceed your income?” said his wife, “ What’s thirty-seveu cents ?” asked Mr. Newton, lightly. ; “ Not much, to be sure, hut still something.

Suppose you mention some of your items.” “The most important are house rent, one hundred and fifty dollars, and ar ticles of food, five hundred dollars.” “ Just half.” “ Yes, and you’ll admit that wc can’t retrench there, Elizabeth. I like to live well. I had enough poor board before I murrie 1; now I mean to live as well as I can.” “ Still we ought to be saving up something against a rainy day.” “ That would be like carrying an umbrella when the sun shines.” “ Still it is well to have on umbrella in the house.” “I can’t controvert your logic, Eliz abeth, but I’m afraid we won’t be able' to save anything this year. When I get my salary raised, it will be time enough to think of that.” “ Let me make a proposition to you,” said Mrs. Newton. “ You say one- j half of your income has been expended on articles of food. Are you willing to allow me that sum for the purpose ?” You guarantee to pay all hills out of it?” “ Yes.” “ Then I will shift the responsibility upon you with pleasure. But I can tell you beforehand you won’t be able to save much out of it “ Perhaps not. At any rate I will engage not to exceed it” 11 That’s well. I shouldn’t relish having any additional bills to pay. As I am paid every month, I will at each payment hand you half the money. Tiie different characters of husband and wife may be judged from the con versation which has been recorded. Mr. Newton had but little prudence or foresight He lived chiefly for the present, and seemed to fancy that whatever contingencies might arise in the future, he would somehow be pro vided for. Now, trust in Providence is a very proper feeling, hut there is a good deal of truth in the adage that God will help those who help them selves. Mrs. Newton, on the contrary, had been brought up in a family which was compelled to be economical, and al though she was not disposed to deny herself comforts, yet she felt that it was deferable to procure them at a fair Yds, I would be glad if all my customers would give me a chance to do so.” “I will set them an example, then,” said Mrs. Newton. “ Hereafter, what ever articles shall be purchased of you will be paid for ou the spot, and we shall expect you to sell as reasonable as you can.” This arrangement was also made with the others, who, it is scarcely needful to say, were very glad to enter into the arrangement. Ready money is the great support of trade, and a cash customer is worth two who pur chase on credit Fortunately Mrs. Newton had a small supply of money by her which lasted till the first monthly installment from her husband became due. Thus she was enabled to carry out her cash plan from the beginning. Another plan which occurred to her as likely to save expense, was to_pur- chase articles in large quantities. She had soon saved enough from the money allowed her, to do this. For example: instead of buying a few pounds of su gar at a time, she purchased a barrel, and so succeeded in saving a cent on a pound. This, perhaps amounted to but a trifle in the course of a year, but the same system carried out in regard to other articles, yielded a result which was by no means a trifle There were other ways in which a careful housekeeper is able to limit ex pense which Mrs. Newton did not over look: With an object in view she was always on the, lookout to prevent waste, nnd-to-get the-full value iff what she expended. The result was beyond her anticipa tions. At the close of the year, on ex amining her bank book—for she had regularly deposited whatever money she had not occasion to use in one of the institutions—she found that she had one. hundred and fifty dollars, be sides reimbursing herselffor the money during the first month, and having enough to last another. Well, Elizabeth, have you kept within your allowance?” asked her husband at this time. “ I guess you have not found it so easy to save as you thought for.” I have saved something, however, said his wife. “ But how is it with you?” * That’s more than I can say. How ever, I have not exceeded my income, that’s one good thing. Wc have lived full as well, and I don’t know but bet ter than last year when wc spent five hundred.” “ It’s knack, Ezra,” said his wife, smiling. She was not inclined to men tion how much she had saved. She wanted some time or other to surprise him with it when it would be of some service. She may possibly have saved up twenty-five dollars,” though Mr. New ton, “ or some such trifle,” and so dis missed the matter from his mind. At the end of the second year, Mrs. Newton's savings, including the inter* est, amounted to three hundred and fifty dollar*, and she began to feel quite rich. Her husband did not think to in quire how she had succeeded, suppos ing as before, that it could be but a very small sum. However, he had a‘ piece of good news to communicate. His salary had been raised from a thousand to twelve hundred dollars. He added: “ As I before allowed you one-half my income for household expenses, it is no more than fair I should do so now. That will give you a better chance to save part of it than before. Indeed, I don’t know how you have^aueceeded in saving anything thus far.* As before, Mrs. Newton merely said that she had saved something without specifying the amount. and his services were valuable to his H that it does not appear to have yet employer. They accordingly increased I reac “ e ® ,ts maximum. ht> salary, from time to time, till he I Common Mexicali wool, which used reached sixteer hundred dollars.
