A SOBER CALCULATION.

The young man, who earns from six to
eight or ten dollars per week, aud spends
but three or four of it in boarding, and
what besides it is necessary for comfort
and convenience, may lay up from one
to two hundred dollars yearly towards
setting up for himself at a proper time. =
Il the capital required be not large, in
three or four years he may calculate up
on being master instead Of a journey
man. This is one view-obvious to be
sure, but not the less important.
Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1834-07-31

Another view is, and one which too
often presents itself-if a young man, in
stead Of thus laying up the chief part Of
his wages, spends it all, or nearly so, in
idle Sunday excursions and frivolous
evening bails-or billiard playing, or
any other vicious or imprudent pursuit,
he may calculate upon remaining jour
neyman for life and if not brought
through evil communication to the State
prison or the gallows, will, in all proba
bility terminate his mortal career in
some poor house, unpited and despised.
This is another view Of the case equally
obvious as the last; and yet how often
are both Of them lost sight of to the ruin
of youth.
\ To lure TO the one, let the other be
kept sight Of Put from every vicious
course, youth will find no surer protec-
ton than religion.
/ If they seek and find tlrat, all tempo
raj safety and prosperity will follow, and
eternal happiness be the glorious issue
Piety sthe parent of every virtue; impi'
ETY. Of every vice.

which has been recently published.
WAsHiNGToN, July /, 1884.
Gentlemen :-l've jist got your letter
that you sent to the care Of my old friend
MIR. Dwight, up there in New for
me, inviting me to eat Dinner with you
on 4tb of July.
Well now, this is really kind in all on
ye, and Pm right down shockin proud
on't--and if warn't so busy here in put
tin things to rights, arter sich tug as
all on US have had, I'D grease my boots
and start right off, and be with you by
dinner time, and thank you for your hind
invitation, and eat good dinner in the
bargain-but | can't git off from here
no how, and another thing, partly pro-
missed To iine a few folhs here in eatin
some ginger bread, and takin glass OF
swtchcll with little New-EngIand in
it, in the House Of Represe natives, on
Independence Day, as Congress will be
all off then, and their haini bin mite OF
Independence in that ere Hall for good
spell now.
Il feel desperate grateful TO you for the
kind manner you have invited me TO line
you in Philadelphy--and seeing thut
can't 60 myself, ! would like TO SEND

can't do nothin at that business, for all
my sentiments are, as you know, Plagy
long stories, and it would never do TO
keep folks W waitin to hear one aiore drink.
in to it.
There is one thing thought any on
ye can put it into short meter, would
like it-and that is cOnsarnin this pesky
dispute betwixt the GiDeral and his folks,
and Squire Biddle and his folks. lhave
had notion all along ever since this
war begun, that though 1t would be bet
ter il things had gone on occordin to law,
and peaceabe as before, yet rs things
60 now "A days, its plagy deal better
for the people I an if the Squire, and the
Gineral, had been all the while shakIn
hands, and chnkin pockets and purses
together, and goin snaks.
My notion is, that the peoples inter-
est don't suffer nigh as much when folks
in Office and their friends are all the
while growin aud grumbln agin them
who have the keepin Of the peoples mo-
ney bags--as when public office holders
are all the while scratchin each others
elbows, and all Oh 'em wh'slling the
same tune about glory and splles, aud
sich like.
Ifany don't understand the nature Of
this notion, he best look at the Post Of
flee Accounts, and the Treasury Ac-
counts in pet I'anks--and if that Gon't
give any light, would lihc to tell him
story about an old farmer of my acquain-
tances, who used to send his grain 10
mill, and about his g,tln less and less
meal home every time, and he never
knew the cause on't till one day he pas
sed into the mill himself, and there he
see his man and the miller as cOzy AZ
two mill stones, drinking mint juIips to-
gether.
! But ! haint got time to tell the hull
ont now, and if had, | would have no
room to tell you, and all the folks in

and iellow-citizen.
