STARTING IN HARRIED LIFE 
I winn tell you a story of my own experi¬ 
ence in starting in the world. When I was 
very young and very poor, I married a very 
poor young man; he worked out by the day, 
or by t he month, on the farms, and in order 
that the stormy days should not consume 
the incomes of the fair ones, something 
must be done. What should it be ? He had 
no trade for indoor labor, except making 
shingles. Then he had no shop, and it 
would cost so much to buy lumber aud 
build one. Heretofore he had spent the 
stormy days like hundreds of young men in 
the country, lounging about public places 
in the village, or at some neighbor’s. He 
had formed the habit, and liked it right 
well. 
"Now,” said T, "James, if we ever get 
anything ahead, the Winter must not con¬ 
sume what the Summer yields.” 
" True,” said he, " but what can I do?” 
I hesitat ed a moment, looked at the neat¬ 
ly scoured floor of our little log cabin, and 
snow while recess and window curtains, 
which, by the way, were pieced out from 
worn-out garments. 
"Get neighbor Willson to bring you 
some timber, get it sawed, and make the 
shingles for half.” 
" Where,” said he; " here in the house?” 
“ Yes. here in the house,’’ said l. 
Year after year passed. In our kitchen 
barrels were hooped, chairs were bottomed, 
barley forks were made and sold, and I used 
to pack the shingles. And what of it if I 
did help him saw the small timber ? All 
this was done in bad weather, and the chil¬ 
dren were growing up enjoying the liberty 
of making all the litter desirable, ■whenever 
they were, released from their hours of 
study. No one on earth loves neatness 
more than I; but I learned, in time, to 
saerilicc neatness, In a measure, to pros¬ 
perity and happiness. 
Husband is nervous and irritable by na¬ 
ture, and it will not do in all cases to try 
to teach old dogs new tricks, so I have 
picked up after him, boots, hats and cloth¬ 
ing, washed aud Combed him almost every 
Sunday morning, and, as to the boys, they 
have made all sorts of fanning implements 
in the house when they could not play out- 
of-doors; and whatever innocent amuse¬ 
ment they wished to engage in aside from 
mental improvement, they have done. I 
made many efforts to leach the hoys order 
about the house, but never fairly succeeded. 
Now for the result of my course:—We 
have a farm of more thau a hundred acres, 
well stocked; there are several rooms in 
our house, but shingles are not made iu any 
of them. Sometimes when husband brings 
in a barrel to hoop for our own use, I tell 
him to be careful not to scratch the paint 
off the floor. Husband is a steady, hard¬ 
working man, and when night comes he is 
at home; the boys, or rather young men, 
are honest, ambitious, home-loving boys. 
No smoking cigars, or taking a glass, or 
lounging about, with them. Studious, 
noble, good and true they are. Mary.

Butter Inquiry.— I also wish to say that 
I would like a little information on butter- 
making, if some one of your correspondents 
would be so kind as to inform mo. In the 
IluRAL of August 24, 1 saw an urticlo on 
"Profits from Butter-Making.” What I 
wish to know is, how Fancy but ter is made, 
or packed, to fetch so much higher price 
than any extra good butter. My husband 
makes the but ler from our dairy, and it is 
called extra, good, and brings I lie highest 
price in market. What butter can be bet¬ 
ter?- J. M. <»., Bfflohjipld, Pa.
