You think my salary ofeighi hundred dollars a year, a fortune.’ ‘ No such a thing, Charles.’ " But eight hundred dollars, let me tell you, won’t buy all the world.’ . ‘I had no idea that it would, ; yet if you only had the habit of saving what you spend for things that you can get along without, you would be able to build a house in a few years ’ ’ Build a house.” ‘ Yes, build a house, Charles.’ ‘ Well, that’s a good one.’ The youtig man laughed heartily at the ideaâ€"too chimerical, too ab- surd to be harbored fora moment. ' How much do you suppose it cost us to live last year'l' ‘ Why, eight hundred dollars, of course. It took all my salary-there is none of it left.’ The young wife smiled mischevi- ously as she took from her work-table drawer a small account-book. ‘ You did not know that I kept ac- count. of all these things, did you '2’ ‘ No; but how much is it ?’ And Charles was a little disturbed by the cool way in which his wife pro- ceeded to argue the question.’ ‘ Four hundred and ninety-two dollars,’ answered Mrs. Converse. _\ ‘Oh, but, my dear, you have not got lialfof it down.’ ‘ Yes, I haveâ€"«everything? ‘ My tailor’s bill was sixty-five dollars.’ . ‘I have it here.’ ' Hats, boots, and â€"’ ‘I have them all.’ ‘The deuce you have.’ When you had any new thing, you know I always asked you what you gave for it.’ ‘I know you did; but Iwill bet five dollars I can name a dozen things that you have not got down.’ ‘Done !' said the lady with a laugh. as she took from herdrawer a five dollar bill, and placed it on the table. ’ Charles Converse covered money. ‘Capital idea for you to bet against me with my money l’ said he good humoredly. ‘ I“ lose, I will do without that new baregcd I ain to have.’ ‘ Nay, my dear, I don’t want you to do that.’ ‘ ‘ But go on.’ 'Pew-rent, six dollars,’ said the husband promptly. ‘ ‘ Here it is,’ answered she, point- ing to the entry in the book. . ‘ Try again.’ ‘ Season ticket on the railroadâ€"- twenty.’ ‘I have it.’ ‘ Sawing the wood.’ ‘ Entered.’ Charles reflected a moment ; the case began to look desperate. ‘ New linings for the cooking- stove.’ the ‘cows, a ' henery,’ and half a dozen ALEX.

Why, Mary, I have not been extravagent. It is true, I buy a great many little things in the course of the year, but they are hardly worth the mention.’ ' Ah! there’s the mischief. That is where the money goes, you may depend upon it.’ ‘ Nonsense!

You know my father has promised to give you the land when you have the means to build a house upon it.’ ‘It will be a long while,’ laughing the husband. ‘Five or six years perhaps, if you are prudent. Hasn't the Pre- sident of your batik promised you a thousand dollars a year 'l’ ‘ Yes.’ ' Then you can certainly save four hundred dollars a year.’ "I‘here is a thousand things we want when my salary is raised.’ ‘ But we can do without them.’ ‘ I suppose we can.’ ‘ Just look here, Charles.’ 1 Mrs. Converse took from ' pocket a circular issued by ‘People’s Saving’s Bank,’ in which the accumulation of several small sums deposited weekly and quar- terly, were arranged in a table. I forty of the three her the " Fifty dollars deposited every quarter will net, in five years, one thousand one hundred and forty-one dollars twenty-five centsl’ continued she, reading from the circular. ‘ Bah ! added Mr. Converse. ‘ That sum would build a very comfortable house! and when your salary is a thot'isand dollars a year, you can save more than fifty dollarsl a quarter.’ ‘A five per cent institution, isn’t it?’ asked the young man. But he was much impressed by the reasoning of his wife, and jn the course of the evening he carefully read the circular of the ‘People’s, Saving’s Bank.’ Certainly he had every induce-l ment for being saving and economi- cal. He had lived very cheaply iii a small house belonging to his father- in-law, for which he paid a merely nominal rent. His wife’s father was a wealthy farmer, or rather he had been a far- mer, before his domain was invaded by the march of improvement, and his pastures and mowmg lots laid out into house lots. As it was, he still, from the force of habit, im- proved a few acres, kept a couple of ' s. p gCharlesConverse found this prox‘ imity to the ‘ old folks at home,’ ra-- ther satisfactory. in a pecuniary as well as a social point of view, for his larder was partly stocked from the farm; and, of course, no ac- count was ever made of lialfa pig, young people never desired to ob« he tain there from anv other source. ‘asking to drink with him, at Bar- 'these were so ridiculously small, RICHDIONEB HILL, FRIDAY, DIAY 1’7, [861. the firmness with which he had car-g ricd out the resolution of the previ- l ous evening. ‘ a barrel of apples or potatoes, or a pair of chickens. Milk and eggs were so much better and fresher from ‘pa’s,’ that of course the They lived cheaply and lived in clover besides. Charles never liked to talk about financial affairs with ‘pa,’ because the worthy old gentle- man used to tell him how he lived on a hundred and fifty dollars a year after he was marriedâ€"though he had a fat salary, and supposed, of course. he caved four hundred dollars a year out of itâ€"â€"~and always wound tip by saving that he would give him a lotâ€"might take his pick of all he ownedâ€"whenever he got ready to build. All these things rather worked upon Charles Converse. He hadn’t saved a dollar, and what was more, there was no present prospect that he even would do so. The promised advance in salary was already up- propriated to sundry luxuries. The idea of taking Mary to the opera, or a pleasant trip to Niagara, and other amiabilities, had taken posses- sion of him. But the reasoning of his wife had prduccd a strong impression upon his mind. She had been brought up in the strictest habits of economy.â€" IIer father, though rich, had an army of children; but they were all wealthy in their thrifty habits. Charles read over and over the circular ofthe Saving’s Bank in the evening, figured the statistics, and Wondered what had become of that two hundred and sixty-eight dollars. Before he went to bed he had matured a resolution, though he did not say a word to his wife about it, The next day, Charles Converse received a quarter’s salary, and his first step, after receiving it, was to visit the People’s Savings Bank, where be deposited fifty dollars. But the hundred and fifty dollars I which he had left burned in his peckets. It was all he had to carry him through the ensuing cc ‘ You are late, Charles, said Mary, when he reached his sunny: little cottage. ‘l have been paying my quarter bills,’ replied he, with a smile.-â€"-â€" ‘ Here they are, my sweet ac- countant.’ lie threw the bills upon the table, and while she was examining them, he threw his bank-book in her face. ‘Wlizit!’ exclaimed she, in as- tonishment, as she saw the book.â€" ‘Fifty dollars l' ‘ Yes, my diar, female influence â€"â€"the influence of a wife,’ and the husband playfully kissed her. ‘I am convicted of sin, and converted too, which is better still. I am re- solved to be prudent, economical, saving, even parsimonious. ‘I am glad to hear it.’ ‘And the house will be built in just five years, according to the programme of the Saving’s Bank.’ As he spoke, he took from his pockets three of the city evening papers. ‘Not quite, cured Charles,’ said Mary with a smile. ‘ What do you mean 'l’ ‘Journal, Transcript, and Travel- ler, two cents eacli,’ laughed Mary. ‘ You are determined the publishers shall live.’ ‘ Why, Mary, you wouldn’t have me live without a newspaper, would you? That would be a depth of barbarism to which I would never descend,’ replied Charles, with a look of astonishment, at the interesting mentor. ‘Certainly not; but is not one paper a day enough 7.’ ' That is but a lriflc.’ ‘ The rain falls in drops, but washes the whole earth. Four cents a-day, for a year amounts to about twelve dollars.’ Charles scratched his. head. It 'as a most astounding revelation to him. ‘ You are right, Mary, one paper is enough." Charles eat his supper, but was moody and abstracted. A idea was penetrating his brain, which, he began to think, had been rather muddy on financial| affairs. As he rose from bistable he took out his segaiucasc, and as he did so, the little fellow within, who had months. There was a dozen little ”"w things that he wanted, and a dozen big ones, for that matter. Against the latter he resolutely set his face, though, in consideration of the fact that his salary would be a thousand dollars a year, after the next pay- day, he had a week before made up . . . his mind to have them spoken to him when he came out of Among other things his segar_ the sugar sliop,began to upbraid him case was empwfind he S,epped imo pretty sharply. .

LETTER FROM DR. LIVING-l STONE. We have been favoured with the following valuable and interesting letter, just received by Major Gene- ral Charles Murray Hay, of Ful- wcll Lodge, 'I‘wickenliam, from the illustrious traveller, Dr. David Li- vingstone. It will be seen that at the date of his letter, 26th Novem- ber, Dr. Livingstone and his compa- nions (Dr. Kirk and Mr. Charles Livingstone) had just completed a march of 1400 miles, which had taken them six months.

As for the poor Portuguese, I must say nothing, but you ‘ can’t nails a silk purse out of a sow’s enr.’ We found the Chief Skoletu, la- bouring under a skin disease believed to be leprosy, the effect of course of lwitchcraft, and several influential head men had been put to death for the crime.

Tctte, 26th November 1860. My DEAR GENERAL Hugâ€"It was extremely kind iii you to remember as you have done. [have had good reason to remember you, and though you have received no evidence of it, again, and again, and again has it been brought to my recollection how much I owe you, and your delight- ful home in the Mauritius, Indeed, you set me so completely up. that all the tear and wear of a fearful lionising, though it wearied me sorc- ly, never broke me down, and I have not had one severe attack of fever since my return. Had I gone home at once in 1856 and gone through the terrible ordeal, and then come out,I could not have done the work I now do. We have just finished a march of 1400 miles in six months. We went up the river in order to return the Makololo to their own land, keeping along the north bank of the Zambe- zi, till we were in latitude 170 deg. 18 min. south, and about 28 deg. east longitude, and then turned away westward, ascending the Highlands near Tabaclicn, whole we saw hoar- frost, and a little ice, then descended west wards into the great central val- lev to our old friends the Makololo. When vrithin 20 miles ofthe Falls, ‘ which I named after our Queen, we saw the columns of smoke, and went down to see this great sight. I have no hesitation now in say- ing that there is none equal to it in strangeness in the world. The breadth is not one but nearly two thousand yards, and it falls sheer down 310 feet. The river was very low, and we could see everything clearly ; the whole river leaps into a crack, and this crack is prolonged in the most fantastic mannerâ€"the country below on cast of the falls being quite as high as the lip over which the Zambesi rolls. Try if you can understand this scrawl. All these promonotories are of the same level as the bed of the river above the falls, and over 300 feet sheer down lies the river of a mile wide jammed into a crack some 80 or 100 feet wide at; the bot- tom. A most extensive coal field extends from below Tctte to near Victoria Falls. In some places a steamer could load out of the scam in the bank of the river. These falls will be visited and coal worked when we are no longer here to write and talk about them. 1 hail with great satisfaction the formation of the Oxford and Cani- bridge Mission, and I shall Count it a privilege to do whatever I can to aid the Bishop and his clergy.

No where do people stand more in need of Christianity and civilization than in Africa, and if this mission is carried on with faith and patience, there is no doubt but good will be eventually done both to Africa and England.

PANICâ€"OREGIN OF THE WORD. In a couple of admirable papers on the financial crisis of 1857, oc- curs this fine passage in the Mount Vernon series, by Edward Everett: But even the dictionaries teach us it is idle to inquire into the cause of a panic; that is the immediate cause; the word is used to signify a great and general alarm, without any ap- parent and adequate cause. In the oldest heathen mythology, l’an blew his couch a shell, when the Titans were fighting with the gods. The audacious rebels had stood undaunt- ed against the thunders of Jupiter, but they fled at the blast of this harsh clarion. Having succeeded so well on this occasion, Pan accom- panied Bacchus on his‘ expedition to lndia, where, on a certain occasion, he gave a wild scream, which filled the echoes of the mountains, and Those old fables (what foundation of fact they may have had in the experience of humanity, who can tell '0 struck to the heartof the race, and have given a name to saddest realities in every period of history.

One of the most authentic signs of the last dread consummation is men's and when this takes place, no form of disorganization and ruin is just mat- ter of surprise. The cracking of a seat, or a mischievmis cry of fire, will, in an instant, set assembled thou- sands of intelligent persons frantic with terror, and cause them to tram- ple each other to death, in their in- sane haste to escape from the build- ing.

From the Canadian Ag‘riculturist. This is the season for transplanting evergreens, and although the season is late,the sooner such operations are completed the better. Planting deei~ ,duous trees, if not already done,had better be deferred till the fall. Too much care cannot be exercised in pre- *4 ther, especially when trees are se- veral days out of the ground before pl’artecl, it is an excellent practice to puddle the roots,which can readily be done by plunging them into a mixture of cowdung and water, a portion of which will adhere to them, find keep them moist. Avoid planting too deep,and throw in some fine soil to fill up the interstices between the roots, tread the soil firmly, cspectally in dry weather.â€" Mulching newly planted trees acts beneficially as a protection against the drought of summer,and the frosts of winter. These suggestions are of general application; but in case of choice fruit trees and flowering shrubs, they are of indispensible tic- .ible. cessity. It is for want of proper at- tention that so many failures to planting have to be annually deplored. Roses intended for removal,which in the ever blooming kinds, as Tun, China, Bourbon, &.t.’., is occasionally advisable, should now be moved without delay, and pruned back i-onu siderably. This is the season for se- lecting bedding-plants; those of a dwarf and stocky appearance are to be preferred, and that have been somewhat hardened by occasional out of door exposure, when admiss- Box may now be planted, and the edging carefully cut,which gives it a pleasing appearance. Florist’s flowers should be attended to as forming a source of beauty and en- joyment. Auriculas, carnations, pansies, polyan antlius, phlox, &r:., are easily cultivated, and impart much beauty to the garden. Gladi- olus are getting popular, and may now be set out. Not a day should be lost in getting in the principal crops of the garden; some of the earlier crops were sown last month.‘ It is not, however, too late, in this backward season, to catch up work that has been ne- glected. in this climate the most productive garden crops are not fre- quently put in the ground before the beginning ofMay. Much, however, depends, as we have observed in previous numbers, not on the parti- cular time of sowing alone, but also on the suitable condition of the ground, and the temperature of the atn'iosphere. ..._._...__........._._.._~.__.~__ .____._ Horn FOR ROUGH Boysâ€"Don’t be discouraged, mother. What though the boys are rude and rough, that should net discourage you. The new farm is rough and rugged when the husbandman first begins to till it, but by patient toil he gradu- ally cxtracts the roots, removes the boulders, levils the hills, andfills the bellows. If the soil seem at first to refuse a return for his toil-present- ing only heaps of rocks, and more unsightly heaps of carthédon’t let him be discouraged ; there is a mine of Wealth in the deeply‘dug and well-wrought field, which shall soon yield ample profits for the labor and patience invested.
