Economy in Expenditure.—The following
remarks of Mr. Dewey need 10 be ofteu reflected
upon by those iuhahitauts of our ton us and cit
ies who are straining every nerve, and sacrificing
all that makes existence desirable, for the sake of
money to lavish on the pitiful vanity of display.
These reflections occur to the travelleron his pas
sage in a Sbeam heat from Paris to London.
I observed that a considerable number of pas
sengers carried a comfortable pickuick box or
basket with them, and spread their own table.
With some, doubtless tiiis provision proceeded
from a fastidious taste that feared some poisonous
dirt would be found in the common faro of a
steamboat. lint with many, 1 presume it arose
from a habit, which presents a marked difference
between the people of England aud of America—
I ine'iit the habit of economy. ‘|n America we
are ashamed of ecouomy. Jt is this feeiing which
would forbid among us such a practice as that
referred to, and not only this, hut s* great many
more and bettei practices, in Engiaud, econo
my stands out prominently; it presides over the
arrangements of a family ; it is openly professed,
ami fears no reproach. A man is not ashamed
to say of a certain indulgence, that he cannot af
ford it. A gentleman says to you, “I drive a
pony chaise this year; I have put down my horse
ami gig, because I cannot pay the tax." A man
whose income, and expenses, aud style of living
far exceed almost anything to be found among
us, still says of something quite beyoud him,
which his wealthier neighbor doe*, *• We are not
rich enough for that." One of the most distin
guished tneu iu England said to me when speak
ing of wiues at his table, •* The wine I should
prefer is claret, but I cannot afford it • nml so 1
driuk my own goi-sel orry.” J have heard that
many families carry tho principle so far, that
they determine exactly how many dinners they
can give in a year, and to how mauy guests- nay
more, and how many dishes they can put upon
the table, whou they do entertaiii.
This frankness 011 the subject of economy is
among us a thing almost unheard of. Not that
we are more wealthy, but, as I conceive, less
wise The competition of domestic life among
us is too keen to admit oi any such confessions
of internal weakness. We practice economy by
stealth. Nor is that the worst of it: for one con
sequence of this habit of feeling is, that we prac
tice too little. Wheu a stranger looks upon the
strife of business iu our villages aud cities, he im
agines that he sees a vrry covetous people ; hut a
nearer observation would show him that much of
his eager, and absorbing, aud almost slavish oc
cupation, is necessary to sustain the heavy drains
of domestic expenditure.— This extravagance
at home, chains mauy a niaii to the couuter
aud couutingruom
