From Harper's Monthly Magazine. MY WIFE AND I. "Oh dear, I wish I were rich!" This remark was extracted from my wife (as an obstinate molar might be extracted by a dentist) by the contemplation of a large opening in the toe of little Persy's stocking, which she had been trying in vain to devise some mode of closing, without destroying the symmetry of the garment, while a pile of similar articles, of various sizes and patterns, lay at her elbow, as

much in need of mending as an old rake's habits. There they lay, seven pairs of little stockings, while their seven daily occupants were snugly snoozing in bed, forgetful of the many weary stitches their little feet had caused; and all around, on tables and chairs, was scattered a promiscuous assortment of juvenile aprons and dresses, jackets and breeches, each one heating its owner's maik, in the hhape of tips und rents. "1 wih I were rich!" repeated my wife. There was a stregnth and heartiness in the tone and manner which left no doubt of her sincerity, and in an instant my mind went back some twenty years, to the time when we had been rich - rich in our young love, rich in our mutual dependence, and rich in the bright hopes which ii-tnly gilded hut fail ly plated the future all over with twenty-carat plate at least as together we looked down the long 'vista' of coming years, fair llowers of joy around our feet, ripe fruits of happiness over our head, the richest of all riches, contentment, in our le-aits, und t!ur at only live dollars a barrel. Almost twentv wars ago those soft ha.cl voa that now beam with tender, matronly love, liist told the story of that love which those rosy lips (their bloom has not yet faded) continued; nnd that fair, round face, that has grown fairer and rounder year bv war, tirst lay upon my breast in maiden trustfulness. We did imt fall in love, nv walk into it, nor glide into it, but we took to it bv instinct as ducks take to water, and we wen; married, with about as definite mi idea of the modes and means of meeting our current expenses as a raw Irishman has of Kgyptiau hieroglyphics, or a charcoal peddler of honesty. There must be a special l'rovidenee which watches over fools and young married people. In point of woildly possessions we commenced with nothing, und have had it ever si nee-; for, what with the

increased expense of living,' and our success in adding to the census returns, each year finds us as far from the possession of a respectable competency as its predecessor. Financially we have scrambled along in a helter-skelter way, tumbling into .little puddles of debt from time to time, with now and then a long interval of exemption, to be followed by a new tumble and a new scramble for safety. Tntil now, on this cold Saturday night in .lanuary, my wife and J sit cozily by our cheerful fire, she with a load of uninended and to-be-mended stockings on her mind, and I, ostensibly reading, trying to solve the great problem of the relation between supply and demand; at least, so far as to make my own weekly supplies cover the weekly demands of wile, children, the grocer, and the landlord. And so sit, lunied in thought, now brightened by remembrances of early happiness, and now darkened by shades of unpaid January bills, which load my desk, making the demand for the great staple, money, far excivd the supply, thereby, according to our best political economists, enhancing its value. ; Meantime my wife, stiil laboring under the weight of the stockings, says, fur the third time, with increased fervor and a slight degree ef asperity, as though demanding a reply. Oh dear! dear! I wish 1 were rich.' 'Jliches, my love, take to themselves wings and lly away," I replied, with the air of one who had seen myriads of tender young dollars put on their pin feathers, become fully 1 lodged,' and soar away to unknown regions like a Hock of wild geese, leaving not even the smell of money behind. "Well, if they do, they must go to roost somewhere, and 1 don't see why some ot them can't settle here as well as elsewhere," said my wife, as she commenced on a fresh stocking; and then added, with a slight dash of acidity, "There's no danger of our riches flying away!" . 'Xo, my dear, the wealth of loving hearts, of unstained consciences, and contented dispositions is a permanent investment, and not at all prone to aerial flights. Those are v4ir only true riches. With these, von are richer than ('rcesus; without them, poor indeed." "That's all very well, but that kind of property don't constitute a legal tender. You can't pay tlv grocer with consciences and expositions-, however pure and contented. They don't go half as far as promises, for I've known von to make those last a vear. Iut speaking of the grocer reminds me that I thonght I saw the "bottom of the flour barrel this morninsr." Xow I knew in an instant that there wasn't hVir enough in that barrel to make a homeopathic biscuit, for I had had a hint of its condition the day before, in the shape, of an inquiry from my wife, "What is flour worth now?" -expressed in a torn? intended to indicate that she had no more interest in the matter than she had in the number of statute miles i-ctweon tho earth and tho moon. It is a pleasant little fiction of hers, that a delicate htut, in relation to the consumptive state of that important ingredient in domestic economy, falls more lightly upon tho ear of the "moneylessthan the ' plain and simple, though appalling statement, "The flour harrcl U empty;" and the will re

sort to 11 manner of cxjiodients for biingim; tie -ease to my mind rather than state it iu plain English. lufnct, I have sometimes thought of teaching her to say it iu Spanish, and thus remove a little of its haishnes, but as .-he had no aptness for any tongue, except hrr own, I have abando.;..d the idea. The purchase of a barrel of flour is an event in our household economy not to be treated lightly. It rei-uires preparation and consideration. In the first place, a certain sum of money is to be provided to meet the emergency, for whatever latitude the grocer may allow in minor matters, when you talk to him of flour you must produce the yvttl pro fj -o, or theie is no trade. . The ne.L point to be decided Is the selection of the "brand." This leads to a friendly interchange of views between the heads of tho homo department, which always result in my being commissioned to purchase the highest priced article iu the market, and a caution to avoid all attempts at false economy by investing in a cheaper ipiality. In my younger days, I once made a purchase of a barrel of second ijiiality (as the grocer called it), to see if my wife would know the difference; and I ludieve' 1 have had the biscuit that were made front it thrown at, me ever since. You should see mv wife when she assists at the opening of the new barrel, and its snowv treasures are disclosed to her gratified gaze. Smiles dimple her rosy cheeks, and pleasure sparkles iu her eyes. How tenderly she lifts each dippcrftil from its receptacle, examines it with thj eye of a dudgo, and pronounces itsipiality with tho air of an expert!. And what a glow of housewifely satisfaction mantles her fair face, w hen the first baking confirms her judgement! And then as, day-by-day, she descends ; deeper and deeper into its recesses, each dipperlul, snowy though it be, leaves a shade upon her brow, until at last the flour and the smiles and dimples disappear tigether. As I sit reading of an evening, 1 can hear that wooden dipper thumping at the staves or gently scraping the bottom of the balled as it. descends in search of the wherewithal for the bread of the coming day, and 1 know that my wife is intiniuting by these means i the necessity of a fresh supply as plainly as though she told me in so many words, for she know that I can hear every thump. And hy-nnd-by she comes in looking as demure as n kitten, and none but the initiated woidd ever dream that she had an empty flour barrel on her mind. Hut the next day brings a fresh barrel, fresh smiles and dimples, and a renewed depletion of the already attenuated purse. The smiles and dimples are always cheap at the price, even if the flour is not. As I meditated on this monvntous subject, I could see by the knitting of her brow and the increased vigor with which she applied herself to her weekly task, that my wife's financial apiratiuii was still working in her mind, and knowing by long experience that confined thoughts, like explosive gases, must have vent, and fearing tliat some violent remark might be shot at mo, like a pellet from a gun, I replied: "True, my dear, I know that the grocer will only be satisfied with gold or its equivalent, which he is nun h better calculated to appreciate than purity, of intention and loftiness of sotd, and fortunately for him, it is much more plentiful in the market though .scarce enough with us. Hut for all that we have untold treasures, if we did but know it." "They must be uittolJ, for 1 never heard of them before. If you have such an abundance, I wUh you'd spare mc enough to buy that black silk dress you piomiscd me so long

into trouble as long as he sticks to tin polities and fish. Hut to return to the black silk die Some years ago (I don't care to iv member how ..many), under the intiu ence of an excess of affect ion and a vie

It is not to bo inferred from this re

mark that my wife is prone to extravagance in her tastes or habits. She is usually content with plain and modest attire. She has never hidden herself in the recesses of a whalebone pyramid, nor submitted to the modern species of female coopvrago; for, as she day fully remarks, "Any body can see that 1 am a tub without my leing hooped." (She weighs two hundred and one pounds avoirdupois.) Nounpaid milliner's bills haunt her walking hours (nor mine). No needy dressmakers rise up iu judgment against her. , Her bonnet is much too large for our youngest daughter, aged eight years, and really seems designed for ue as well as ornament; and from my long acquaintance with her,Ta:n satisfied that she has something in her head worth protecting, unlike those ladies who patrouiz? curtailed bonnets with more ribbon than crown, and more curtain than comfort. She fully agrees with me when I lecture our voting female friends on the extravagance of the ago, although she contends that the men are as much to le blamed lor it as the women. .Of course 1 never assent to this proposition; and that leads to a friendly argument, from which, in my own opinion, I always gain the advantage though I must confess' that I am occasionally overborne by a torrent of words, especially when some friendly neighbor espouses my wife's side of the question. In such cases I Wat a hasty retreat, and watch my opportunity for a ifMv attack ujm)ii the position of the eneiny under more favorable auspices. My wife detests flounces (she is too stout to wear them), has no hankering after "moire antique," and only knows of "lloniton" by having seen it mentioned in our daily piper. To bcure she dooMi't believe all the. criticisms upon the fashions which she sees in that paper, and she even ges so far as to say that she has no idea that the editor himself lielieves them. I think he is hardly just to the editor a von clever fellow Ly-the-way, who never meddles with anv thing but politics, except church matters, ladies dresses, and tiah and who never gets

chief) now sleeping in happy unconsciousness of money and its attendant evils, each one of them worth his weigh in gold? I've heard vou sav so manv a time. Now at a moderate estimate they will average fifty pounds apiece. Kven California gold is worth two hundred dollars a pound. So.we have three hundred ami fifty, pound of cherubs, nt two hundred dollars a pound, which, according to simple multiplication, makes Kovftitr thousand dollars' worth of those little heavenly bodies alone." "Nonsense, Persy" "Oh! but it isu't noiLscnse. There it is, figured out according to your iwii estimate, and a very pretty little sum it makes to begin the world with. Now, mv dear, what is mv love worth!" This was n poser. My wife looked up in a haze of blank astonishment as her mind grasped tin? idea, and I trembled for fear she might say "nothing," and thus overturn the whole groundwork of my theoiy. JStit as soon as she had swallowed the idea and mentally digested it, she re died,

" hy don t vou ask me what the

We find in tho AmetieHti Publisher's Circular, the following description of the various pioeosses which are gone through in the manufactuiing of punting type: The letters, etc., are first cut upon a steel punch. This ltvjuires great skill. The chaiacters are oftentimes extremely minute, und every pains is taken to procure not only individual beauty, but general uniformity. Not only letter, but figures signs and ornaments, in endless vaiieties, are thus cut. There ure also spaces used to .separate words. Ouadrutos, which are larger than spaces, separate sentences, and in general occupy the position among type that is represented by the imprinted parts; both spaces and quadrates ln-ing shorter than typo. In a full font of type there am about ilOÖ different characters. The cost of the separate punches varies from $'2 to 8Ö0. After the punch has been cut it is indented to a co-t lin depth into a block of copper; that is called the matrix. Kloctrofyping has of lato years leon used for the purpose of obtaining matrices from the type itself, by which means typefounders are enabled toavail themselves of each other's labor. Jhisiness morality is of a most elastic quality, and it would be a useless exp-tiditurc of time to question the propriety of the ptuct ice. An apparatus denominated the mould, is used for forming the body of the tyjie, and to this mould, w hich answers for all the types of a font, the

iditVeient matrices are adjusted as re-

Iquired. He who adjusts the matrices

I thanked mv wife for tho compli

ment, and congratulated myself that she had drawn no wor-e comparison between my love and the air; and continued, "Well, then, what do you consider the air w orth?" "1 sha'nt answer any such foolish questions; for, if you go on with your calculations, you'll make us out millionaires." "That's what I intend to do; and I think I am safe in putting down the love at a hundred thousand. Then, there is my honor, which is woith at least as much as the hvef' "I've no doubt f it," interrupted my wife"For you wouldn't value the one without tho other. So there you have the sum total of three items alone cherubs, seventy thousand; love, a hundred thousand; and my honor as much more, .making the snug sum of more than a quarter of a million of dollars, to say nothing of other items that might be mentioned, and which would perhaps double the amount, besides cash on hand amounting to one dollar and seventeen cents." I paused here for my wife to appreciate the full force of my reasoning (she i a little tdnw at figures), and when she had had time to turn the whole subject in her mind, I asked, "What have you to say to that?" "All I have to say to'that," replied my wife, "is, that I Wouldn't advise you to set tip a carriage on the strength of your property. And if I thought we were worth a quarter of that sum, 1 wouldn't mend such a looking stocking as this." Saying which, she held up the stocking of our eldest girl, minus the heel and two-thirds of the too, with a large rent near the top of the leg. "Anil then look at that, and that, and that," she continued, and she successively presented for my inspection the various articles which constitute the juvenile wardrobe; and J musteonfess that, seen through that medium, my imposing array of figures seemed scareely largo enough to Jill one of the smallest rents among tho multitude. Still I fondly; hope I that my calculations had had a tendency to raise my wife's spirits, and I was unwilling that she should shrink back into that slough of darning-needles and vam. So I continued the subject. "Clothes, my dear, especially in the case of children, are a mere matter of form, a blind adherence tothecustoms of society. If it cost more to wear shred and. patche.s than whole garments if rents and rips could be rendered fashionable, all thewoild would be out at elbows. Hut though society turns t:p its nosoat last year's fashions though love looks askance at a seedy lover, and even tho Church . put its ban on the threadbare co.it, you and I can jog on our way regardless of frowns and favors, conscious of that hidden treasure which gilds and brightens our earthly existann. ; 4 - ' "And then, again, compare our condition with that of our firt : parents, when they had notice to quit from the (ireat landlord, and first cofnmemvd houM-keepingon tlteir own account. Their wardrobe was extremely limited, and I've no doubt live would have Wen verv thankful for a niie-

ito the moulds is called a iustifier. or

more commonly a fitter. All the types of a font are of the same length and depth, though the letters upon them vary in their dimensions. The mould is so constructed as to admit of . the width being altered to suit the letters to lie cast; thus the letter I, w hich is very narrow, is upon the body of a type, the perjioiidicular face of "which is precisely the same as that of the letter W, several times as wide. It is necessary that the holies of types should also have all their lines nt exact right angles; without this they would not stand in a line, and would consequently be useless. If the types varied in hight, they would not give a perfect impression, in endeavoring to obtain which, some would be subjected to an injurious impression. A fewtypes have a portion of the letter projected over the body, as in the letter f; this projection is called the kern, and in the combination with other letters the projecting part generally extends over the next letter, as in'fe. In those combinations, wherein the kern would e ome iu contact with another Utter, compound types are cast, as in

breaker; and the singular swiftiis of

This L effected by bringing the type in ccUart with a smooth stone, prepared fit th purpose, and moving it from side tt side. Tho rubier generally smooth several at the same time. Those, letters which are kene-d as ln-fore des-cril-ed, cannot Ve wholly rt;blcd upon a tint sut face, and they aie consequently filed smooth by an ingenious contiivanoe which prevents the kcinfrjiu 1 eilig injured. After this eporrtr-i tho type are set together, with the faces dow nward, in a composing sth k eight inches long, and thence are trahsfon-d to the -setting stick which is one taid in length. Those who do this are called sclteis. Th dressers now takes the. scttir:rf stick, and placing the line of type upon a flat suiface, tightens it with a screw; then with a peice of steel havingfharp angles, ho rubs o3 tho edges, turr.iL the line of type fur that purpose.

Not a bishop as yet, but "superintending" the churches ofon?ofthc widest Districts in this country write to the Drawer the following incident, which we print, not to laught at, but as a striking exhibition of ftcliny goyi as well as good feeling: "While superintending a campmeeting in Scott Ctunty, Virginia, there was a dear old sister, noted in ' that county for her piety, who K-eamo very much attacK.d to nie, and every i morning she came to the 'preacher' , t-nt with a bag of p-acbes, and oft a with other tokens of ln?r kind regard.

um u, ii, u, m. in. come years ago these combinations were much more numerous, but many have been dispensed with by altering the forms of the letter. Tho next form is that of casting. The old method, of which l even to tho present time generally used in I'ngland, may thus be descril-ed: The matrix having lcen adjusted ilie mould, is taken by the caster in his Mr, hand. At his right upon a furn.ve is a pot of molten metal. This metal lie dips out in suitable quantities with a small ladle, and pours into the mould, at times giving a quick upward jeik, for the purpose of forcing the metal well into the matrix, to give the type a good face. A spring which holds the matrix in its proper position is tKn re

moved; the matrix is then pried out 1 Iier seat, and slapping her hands, erie-i from (AX the tyj-e, the mould opnd-out at the top of her vou-e: and tho tyj-e thrown out. Hy this!
