It is poor economy, Mr.Smith, to buy cheap furniture.

It costs a great deal more in the end, than good furniture, and never gives you any satisfaction." "But these were good chairs, Jane.

As good as I would wish to look at.

The man said they were from one of the best shops in the city, and of superior workmanship and finish." As I make it a point never to prolong an argument with my husband, when I see his mind bent in one direction, I did not urge my view of the case any farther.

It was settled, however, that we could afford to re-furnish our parlors in a better style, and that in the course of the coming week, we should go out together and select a Brussels carpet, a sofa, a dozen mahogany chairs, a centre table, &c.
As I had foreseen from the beginning, my husband's ideas of economy were destined to mar everything.
