JUST CHARGE’ IT,
A Sketch for New Beglnnersin Life.
BY AUSTIN O. BURDICK.
" Charles. what did this peach pre-
serve cost?" -
" I'm sure I don't know, Hannah.”
" But you bought it this morning.”
" I know I did, but I didn't ask the
price of it."=
" Did not you pay for it 9"
u No.9’
‘I Why not P" V
‘- 0, because I couldn't stop to make
chen e I have opened an account with
Mr. %Vaidron, and shall hereafter settle
once in three montlm,” - .
This conversation was going on at the
tea-table between Charles Matthews and
his wife. Matthews was a young me-
chanic who had just commenced’ house-
keeping, and as _he was making excel-
lent wages he could afford to live pretty
well. After he had made known his de-
termined arrangement to his wife, she
remained some time in silent thought.
"'Chsrles," she at length said, in a
very mild, persuasive tone, " I think it
would be better to pay for things as you
take them. You know you receive your
pay for labor every Saturday night, and
you could pay as you go very easily.”
" I know I could," returned Mr. Mat-
’ thews, with the air of a man who had
nnanswerabie argument at his command
" but then it would not be near so hau-
dy. You see,‘ if I pay my store bill but
once a quarter I shall save all the troub-
is of making change; and shall not only
save time, but alsosvoid mistakes.”
" Mistakes?" repeated Hannah.-
" How can mistakes occur when you
pay for things as you get them P" .
“ I will tell you. Sometimes it may
not be convenient to pay for a thing
when I get it—I may forget my money,
or I may only ‘take it on tria1——tben if I
pay for a part, and not for all, some
things may get; charged which I paid
for. _ No, Hannah, _a settlement oncea
quarter will be the best and most conve-
nient all around. I am satisfied of it.”
" Well, perhaps it may,” said the wife
with hn earnest tone and look, and yet
with a smile, " but I cannot think so.”
" But why not 2”
" Why, on all accounts. In the ant
place, you will buy more‘ than you
the cash. ~ Now you
needn't shake your head, for I know it.
_ There are many little luxuries, little ex-
tras, which we do not need, but which
you will yet be apt to buy if you do not
have to pay the cash down. I know
‘something of this credit business, and it.
is not a fair thing. In the second place,
if you pay cash for everything you will
get goods cheaper. A trader will sell‘
cheaper when he can have the money in
hand than when he has to carry out the
. amount on his ledger."
“ But let me tell you, Hannah, that
Mr. Waldron will not cheat. He is not
the man to take advantage in that way."
"You misunderstand me,_Charles. Do
you not know that all traders can afford
to sell cheaper for cash than for credit 2
Mr. Waldr_on,foi' a five dollar bill, would
let you have more sugar than he would
for the same amount entered at different
times on his ledger. He could afford to
do so. Traders like to secure cash cus-
tomers. I think you would find it to
our advantage to try the cash system.-
Now I do not believe you would have
bought this peach preserve if you had
had to pay the cash for it.”
" But I bought that ‘just to please you
Hannah, and I thought you would ac-
cept it gratefully,’-'_returnsd the young
husband, in a tone that showed that his
feelings were touched. .
" I know you did, Charles,” said the
wife, laying her hand affectionately up_-
on hie shoulder, " and I was grateful, for
I know you would donnything to please,
me; but for the sake of helping you _I_
would forego all such things. Perhaps"
--and the wife spoke very low.--' you
might be able to buy a little cottage of
your own one of these days.”
For several days Charles only sent
such things up from the store as were
actually needed. At length, as he went
into thestoro one morning «onhis way
to his work, he saw some splendid loo ii-
ing pickles infancy jars. He had orde-
« red the articles. he needed, and was
about to leave, when Mr. Waldzon said:
" Mr. Matthews, don't you want a jar
of these pickles. I carried my wife in
»a jar last evening, and she thinks them
superior to anything she cvcr_ saw be-
fore." ‘ 2 . . - A I
‘Now Charles knew that his wife had
plenty of pickled cucumbers, ‘some that
her -mother had put down for her, but
‘Mr. Waldron’s .wifc_ had had some of
these fancy ones, and why shcuidn’s
I-lannah? ' ' .
3 " Shall I send you up a jar ?"
" How much are they 3'.’
" Only adoliar." _
‘" Yes, you may send it up-and just
charge it, if you please."
" O, certainly. Anything .you want
you may order at any time. and you
may be assured we shall be happy to
accommodate you."
= New this was flattering toyoung Mat-
thews’ feeliugs,.to think that-the trader
had such confidence in him, and he went
away with an exceeding good opinion of
himself andhis credit, and of the store-
kecper in particular. '
" Only a dollar!” Yes-.-only a dollar
on the tiaderbledger,-.-ithat is nothing.
' But a dollar right out of ono’s pocket-
that is different. Charles -- would not
have bought these Jpicklcs if the cash
19591 been rcquircdjfor them. «
"Ah, Matthews, look-here; I've got
soinstbiiig to ‘show you.’’ This was-said
, by the trader to the young man on the
very next morning after the purchase of
the pickles. . ' ' ' , _ . ,
‘ And so Mr. Waldron led our hero out
to the back side of the store and opened
a box. ' - . -
“ There, Matthews, ain't those nice
oranges 2" s
“ They are nice," replied Charles.-—
And so they really -were.
" I know your wife would like some
of these. I carried some-in to my wife,
and she wanted me to save her four or
five dozen." _____ ‘ ‘
4:?
3' These are nice. How do they
come 1'"
" Let's see : I can send you up three
dozen for a dollar. I got these very
cheap. You know they are retailing at
five and six cents apiece."
" Yes. Well you may send me up
three dozen. Just charge them, if you

_ _“ Certainly. Anything else this mor-
ning T"
"I believe not.” _
And so Matthews went on. This
morning it would be a doilar—to-morrow
perhaps fifty cents-and then, ngain,per-
iiaps only twenty-five cents. It didn't
seem much. The young man kept just
as much money in his pocket as though
he hadn’t bought r them. " Only a do!-
let,” he would say to himself. “ That
isn't much out of twelve dollars a week."
And so it might not be; but the trouble
was, that the next dollar was also" only
a dollar." He forgot to add this dollar
with the former dollar and call it " two
dollars,” and with the next dollar, and
V call it “ three,” and so on.‘
One evening Charles came home with
" Where did you get that i” asked his
wife,
'_‘ Ah,” retutned the husband, with an
impressive shake of the head, “ I made
a bargain iiitbis chain. Now guess
what I paid for it-” . .
" I'm sure I can't guess
‘.‘ 0, but try-—guess something.”
" Well, perhaps ten dollars."
" Teii dollars!” echoed Charles, with
a sort of disappointed look. " Why,
what are ‘you thinking of '.' Jack Cum-
mings bought this chain two months
ago, and paid twenty dollars cash for it.
Why, just heft it and see how heavy it
is. Eighteen carats fine. Jack was
hard up for money, and he let me have
it for twelve dollars.”
" It is cheap, to be sure,” returned

pleasurable surprise ‘as her husband had
anticipated. “But,” she added, “ you

the loss of the money.”
555-“ Pooh ! I have money enough. You
know I have spent but very little lately.
I have been pretty saving.”
9‘ But you forget our things, Charles.
The money is not yours.”
" Not mine 7" ‘
“ No. It belongs to the storekecpsr,
and butcher, and ‘to ourlandlord. ' You
know they must be paid.”
"Don't you fret about them. I know
‘it don't cost me any where near twelve
dollars a week to live, for I have made
an estimate. There is Wilkins, who
works right side of me in the shop, he
has four children, and only gets the same
wages that I do, and yet he lays up some
three or four dollars every week, besides
paying his rent."
' “Yes," said Hannah, "I know he does
I was in to see his wife the other day,
and she was telling me how well they
were getting along. Mr. Wilkins takes
his basket every Saturday evening and
goes over to the market and buys his
week's quantity of meat and vegetables,
and trades for cash, so that he gets eve-
,rything at the best advantage. So he
does at the store. He lays in a good
quantity of all those articles which will
keep, and buys them as cheap as he can.
Butter, eggs, cheese, apples, and so on,
he buys when the market is full, and
when they are cheap, and he always
buys enough to last his family over the
season of scarcity, when such things are
high. ,His butter for instance, he bought
for eighteen cents a pound—a large fir-
kin of it-—and it is much sweeter than
that for’wbich you paid twenty-eight
cents yesterday." ,
“Twenty-eight cents !” repeated the
young man, in surprise.
"Yes. I asked Mr. WaIdron’s man
who -brought it up, and he said it had ris-
en to twenty-eight cents. Mr. Wilkins
got fifty dozen of eggs some time ago for
twelve cents a dozen, and his wife pack-
ed them down, and theyvkcep well. You
will have to pay Mr. Waldron thirty-
flhree cents for those you sent up yester-
ay.
Charles Matthews was somewhat as-
tonished at this view of the case, but it
could not be helped now; and the sub-
ject was dropped. His gold chain had
lost its charm. , It did not look so well,
even in his own eyes as had the simple
black cord which he had worn before.-—
. At length the end of the quarter came
around. .The .first bill. was the rent,
which amounted to thirty-one dollars.-—
Thenext was the butcher's bill, which
came to thirty-six dollars. Charl- s was
astonished to see how the meat bill foot-
ed up. But when he saw how many
steaks he had had. at seventeen cents per
pound the cause of wonder was at an end
Next he paid the baker's bill, which was
thirteen dollars. When he came home
in the evening he had paid "all his bills
except the grocery bill.
* _ “M_r.. Waldron sent in hisbill to-day,”
his wife said, aficr supper.
"Ah, did he! let me see it.”
Hannah brought it, and Charles look.
ed at it. ‘ He was astonished at its length
and when he came to look at the bottom
of the column his face turned a shade
pale. _It footed up just fifty-five dollars
dollars-an average of five" dollars per
week! ' - '
"This is impossible!” he uttered as be
gazed upon it. But he examined the
different articles, and he could remember
when he ordered them. ._ Those things
which cost “only a dollar,” looked very
innocent when viewed alone, but in the
aggregate theyhad a different appearance.
- "How much shall you lay up this unr-
ter, Charles!” kindly asked the wt e, as
she came and leaned over her husband's
shoulder, and parted the hair on‘ his fore-
head and smoothed it back.
"How much shall I lay up!" he re.
posted. "Not much. Get the slate let
us reckon up." Charles was resolved to
be frank about the matter, and let.’ us
wi_fe_ know all. , , _ _
The slatewasbrought. First I-Iannah
put down one hundred and fifty-six dol.
‘hits as the quar'tcr’s wages. Then came
the rent, and the butcher, and the baker.
"Now you may put down twelve dol-
lars for this chain,—and twelve dollars
for sundries,—that means cigars, tobac-
co. nuts, beer, soda, theatre tickets, and
such like things. Now take all that
from my quarter's wages, and no how
much remains." ,

did not need it, and I fear you will feel "
10, 1354.
Hannah performed the sum, and gave
fifty-two dollars as the result.
-‘Fifty-two dollars!" uttered Charles,
sinking back'into his chair, "and we have
not bought our articles of clothing nor of
furniture. Fifty-two dollars with which
to pay sixty-five. There is thirteen dol-
lars short this quarter, and I had meant
to save thirty, at least.”
"Well, it's no use to mourn over it,"
said the wife, in a cheerful tone, for she
saw that the husband felt badly. “Let's
commence again. There's nothing like
trying, you know."
For some moments Charles remained
silent. He gazed first upon the bill be
held in his hand, than upon the figures
onfthc slate, and than upon the floor.—
At last he spoke. There was a peculiar
light in his eyes, and a flush upon his
countenance. ,
‘fl-lannah, I see where the trouble is,
and I must freely admit, that I have
been wrong. If I had paid for every-
thing as I bought it I should not have
been where I now am in pecuniary mat-
ters. You were right. I see it all now
I have not estimatsdthe vaiud of money
as -I ought. Let me once get up again
to where I began, and I will do differ-
ently. I must step down to the store
this stoning and pay Mr. Waidron what
I have, and the rest 1 will pay him when
I am able." *
"That matter can be easily settled,”
paid Hannah, with a bright happy look.
"I have more than enough to make up
the amount of that bill. It is money I
had when we were married. Wait a
moment.”
Charles protested most earnestly
against taking his wife’s money. but I110
would listen to no argument on that sub-
ject. It was her will, and he must Sub-
mit. So he went down and paid up the
grocery bill, and on the way home be
sold his gold chain for fourteen dollars.
He felt happier when he got the old black
cord once more about his neck, and he
had money now to commence the quar-
ter with. ' ,_.
On the next Monday morning the
young man went into the meat store to
send home a piece of beef for dinner.
"How much will you have T” asked
the bu.chcr.
‘'0, three or four—"
Charles got thusfar, and then he stop-
pcd. He had always been in the habit
of ordering an indefinite quantity andleav-
ing the butcher to out it oil‘ at the high-
est figure, and charge the highest price;
and then he remembered how much was
usually’ wasted. ' =
“Let me have two pounds,” he said.
He stopped and saw is weighed, and then
paid for it.
When he went home at noon he found
that his two pounds of beef had made
enough, and there was none to waste.
The next morning he wont to the store.
Mr. Waldron had some nice figs just
come in, which he showed. They were
only a shilling a pound. For a moment
Charles hesitated, but as he remain): cred
that he had got to pay for all he bought
he concluded notto take them. He fou ad
that things were not so enticing when it
required cash to get them as when the
payment could be postponed. He pain‘
for what he bought and went his way;
and thus things went on through the
week. When it came Saturday night
he know that all the money in his pock-
ct was all his own, after deducting the
rent. That evening he went over to the
market with Wilkins and bought as much
meat and vegetables as he thought would
last him through the week. He found
that hemade a saving of at least twenty
per cent. by this operation, and when the
opportunity offered he made the same as-
ving in other matters.
At the "end of that quarter Charles
Matthewsdid not have to get any slats.
He paid his house rent, and then he
found that he had thirty-five dollars left
in his pocket. That was all his, he did
not owe a penny of it.
"Ah, Hannah,” he said, as he held the
money in his hands and looked at it,
“now I see how easy it is for a man to
be wrong and his wife right, This money
all comes of paying as I go along. It Is
very easy and simpletosay-‘f7'u.¢ charge
it,’ and a‘ man can easily buy things un-
der such circumstances, but when the
day of reckoning .comes these three sim-
ple words, that sound so innocent when
spoken, are found to be costly things.—
I would not have believed it until I tried
it. I could not have believed that man
would purchase so many more useless ar-
ticles simpl because he could have them
charged. ut I see it now, and if I re-
fused to follow your advice at first, I
have gained experience enough to lead
me to follow it the more explicitly now."
Charles Matthews never again allow-
ed himself to be led away by the credit
system ;' but he followed the cash rule
punctually, and the consequence has been
that he can not only now buy any quan-
tity of produce, wood, coal, ctc., at cheap
cash prices, but he hascut oil‘ the expense
of house-reut, for he owns a snug little
cottage in the suburbs. and it is all paid
for.

AI Illlh Story.
Some time ago I was pleasantly sur-
"prised by receiving a visit from Harry
Stnnley, an old and valued friend of mine
who owns a noble plantation some ten
miles distant from my residence. He
had ridden across, as country-folk often
do, not so much because of any particu-
lar business he had with me, as to have
a chat about old times, and the crops,
and politics, and those lesser matters of
common interest to both. As I had not
seen Harry for several months, owing to
illness of Mrs. Stanley, his visit was even
more than usually agreeable to me, inas-
chum was still the same frank, easy,
wariniieartsd fellow as ever. My first
question naturally touched upon the
health of Mrs. Stanley, which 1 was grat-
ified to learn had greatly improved of
late. Afterwards we fell into a. social
confab, and when the newer topics of
the day were exhausted, Harry strolled
with me around the farm, noting with a
practised eye the growing g_t}I1_n. and
speculating upon the probabilities of a
bountiful harvest. Having extended our
walk across the fields, we took to the
hills beyond, and at length seated our-
selves benoath a fine old chestnut tree,
from whence there was a nobleprospect
of=a surrounding country. Taking a ci-
gar from a case he was accustomed to
carry in his pocket, my friend proceeded
leisurely to light it; and when this feat
was accomplished, and a few whiffs had
been taken in silence, all at once, and to
my great surprise, he suddenly broke out
with "I say, Urban. do you lgglow any-
thing of one Peter Mulroqnil
"Why do you ask 2'’ said I.
“Ch, nothing only he claims you as a
warm friend ‘of his, and referred me to
your respectable self for his character.-—
I didn't want to bother you, however at
the time ; but happening just then to
need a hand, I hired him at once,_and I
do assure you his character soon made
itself apparent without any further trou-
ble. After he had been with me for a
week or so, doing nothing pgoperly. I
thought it just possible you might have
discharged him for some misdemeanor or
other, and concluded to catcchise my
gentleman a little. "So you know Mr-
Urbau, Mulroony I" said 1.
«spud, sir," Mite proud I am to say
that same ; for sure there isn't a decan-
ter jintleman, barriu’ it's ycrself, in all
Alneriky.” _
"I am happy to hear him so well spo-
ken of ; but, if you were so much attach-
ed to him, why did you quit his service?”
"Serra one o'ms knows.” he replied. 9-
littie evasivsiy, as I tnought." "Aych !
but twasn’t his fault, anyhow. _
“I dare say not. ~ But what did 1°“
do after you left Mr. Urban '2"

fooliehest thing in the world. I married
a widdy, sir.

pressiou of intense disgust, “the _ house
wouldn't hold me long; ’twas too hot

dhys afterwards, a colt, of no greafivalue
looking rather sluggisii and heavy, I
thought I would test Master Peter’s use-
fulness about the stables, so I sent for
him to come to the house.‘ “Peter, said
I, "do you think I ooujd trust you to give
the black filly a warm mash this evening

without replying, I repeated the question.

way, an’ that's no lie." _
i A; he spoke, however, Ifancicd_ I saw
a’strange sort of puzzled expression flit
across his face; but, taking it for gran-
ted he knew what I meant, I paid at the
timeno further attention to it. The conver-
sation which followccd immediately after
by one of those singular coincidences
which so frequently happen in life, turn-
ing upon the subject of horses, tended
still more to impress me with that belief.
Now don’t laugh. Urban; for though I
perceive by your quizzical look that you
are pretty well acquainted with your
Irish friend, even you cannot possibly
have any conception of the manner in
which the adair terminated.

I'll bobouud. But, pray, proceed with
your narrative." ,
