Cush 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 his own choosing; because he knows 110 other way of distinguishing himself, hut by tho style of living. Would he but conceive that he might better elevate himself in society, by having a well read library, by improving his mind aud conversation, by cultivating seine graceful but comparatively cheap accomplishment, he might live a wiser man. and die richer. Who would hesitate to choose between such a family, aud one whose house was filled with gorgeous furni ture—where the wife aud dauglnors are dressed in tho gayest of the fashion, and the husband m.d father banishes himself the livelong day, and half the mght, from that pleasnut mansion, to toil aud drudge in the dusty warehouse?
