anism BY which we think, and move, and

And vet often think that shock which
Jared on the mental renders yet softer the
moral nature. A death that Is connected

a bridge between the young and the old /;
it gives them ia common the most touch-

And what, perhaps, IS better than all, 10
mourn deeply for the death Of another,

| Economy A slight knowledge of hui
man nature will show, says Mr.. Colquo-
hun, that when man gets little on in
the world, he is DESTROYS Of getting on lit
lie further Such is tile growth ofproyi-
dent habits that it has been said, if jour-
neyman lays by the. first FIVE shillings his
fortune is made. Mr.. William Hall, VINO
has bestowed great attention on the state
of the laboring poor, declares he never
knew an instance of one who saved money
coming to the parish. And he adds more-
over, those individuals who save money
are better workmen: if they do not work
batter, they behave better and are more
respectable and would sooner have IN
my trade hundred men who save money,
than two hundred who would spend every
shilling they get. In proportion as indi-
yiduals save a little money, their morals
are mach better ;--they husband that little,
and there is superior tone given to their
morals. and they behave better for know
ing they have a little stake in society. 1t
is needless to remark, that habits OF
lhougbtf6.ness and frugality are at all times
of immense importance. III
