querit auctioneer made the owners suffer upon every article sold; but she had promised George so positively, and without his requiring a promise, that she would buy nothing, that she did not like to break her word. She did not even venture upon a single bid, though strongly tempted so to do more than once, till a Brussels carpet was to be sold, and sold for nothing too, as Mr. Bell solcmny assured her it was going, or she certain* 1y would have determined tobuy it.

Luckily George was in a capital good humor* IIo had met his acceptances, and had something over. He chatted merrily—and even proposed a jaunt to the Springs when the time for fashionable gadding into the bush came fairly round. Ho complimented Kato upon hef dlnnep, and, after a while so far cheered her that she look courage tc tell him she had bought a now carpet —that is, an old carpet as good as new, for the basement.

“Bui I thought you raeapt Ip buy nothing,” said Qcorge. “To be sure I did not intend to purchase any thing—but this I bought at a bargain.” The hours parsed away very pleasantly. Georgo certainly did not seem much inclined.to hear the narrative of her auction experience, but put on a patient face while she described tho excellent bargains which she saw sold, and took credit to herself for her resolute adherence to her promise not to buy until she came to that carpel; to hare missed the purchase of which she declared would have been “downright extravagance," and neglect of such a chance for a small investment,, as might not occur again in a lifetime. George smiled incredulously when she came to the carpet. He was more than half disposed to take his evening walk without looking at it —but could not so far disappoint his helpmate as thus to expose his indifference to her “great bargain.” So he forced himself to say—‘.‘Well, Kate, 1 should like to see your purchase; and I may as well say what 1 think of it before I look at it. It is wonderfully cheap, and not worn enough for the wear to bo perceived, and I really think it would have been cheap at a hundred dollars.”

So Kato thought—and dropped it—hilt she managed to say something olso, which answered : tbsparposo..; At any rate alio raised tho money, .and of,course sho attended the auction, because when a husband wishes his wife ‘would’nlgo ■ any where, and still furnishes her the means to * 6».l ) e chooses, site is naturally more apt to . observe tho affirmative implied in the cash, than the negat!vc r howevcr earnestly expressed. Betides all this, wives kfe very apt to take liberties -with their husband's good nature. There is a : philosophy in it, deeper than woman understand themselves,'though they’practice upon it. A Suiel, good, cbmpjjant body, who gives her husand no trouble, is, like every thing else which gives no tronble—taken nonolice of.

Kate smiled as though sure that what her hys.band said in jest, ho would repeat in earnest, when he did actually sec that paragon of second* hand articles. She led the wav to the breakfast room, and proceeded to unroll the.treasured—"There arc a few jnk spots in it,” “but on the whole”—

Here sho stopped speaking, as she heard something like a marvellously Tow, tong whistle. She rose and turned round. George was leaning against the door, almost smothered with a suppressed laugh, tp which ho allowed partial vent in the before described whistle.—Kate looked at him steadily in perplexed and grieved.astonishment; and at length tears began to steal out from the corners of her eyes, Mllal.ha’ ha!”al length burst out her husband's merry laugh. "Forgive me, Kate, but by Jnpitcr, 1 can't help it. This is the same infernal old rag that 1 took from my office floor yesterday, and gave the porter. It has been with mo five years, and was second hand at that. There is the same spot that tho booby made in upsetting the ink bottle.” Now, was Kate fairly wretched. A woman's quick thoughts carried her years ahead when still that carpet would be called up for her morlilicalion. "Oh, dear!” she sobbed; "I never shall hear the last ofii.”

Kate went to the auction—but ehe wpnl determined not to buy. We know the fact; because aho protested it to her husband, the vo'ry last £hing before he left tho house; and because she protested the same thing over to herself, as she lied on-her hat. To guard against tern tat ion s)ic folletj the notes very snugly up in her purse, pressing back the ring upon them with extraordinary care, and then very carefully put the purse away—in her bag, and look her bag upon her arm, as she sallied out to find some ono lo accompany her to the sale, which she was so anxious to attend, positively for—nothing, "It is a ruinous sacrifice,” taid the auctioneer, as the ladies entered.
