The BITTER BITTEN.--A man in the dress

streets Of Berlin with packet in his hand
sealed with five seals, and inscribed with
an address, and note that it contained
100 thalers in treasury bills As the bear
cr appeared TO be a, loss he was accost-
cd by passenger, who asked him whom
he was looking for. The simple country
man placed the packet in the inqulfer's
hands and requested that he would read
the address. The reply was made as
with an agreeable surprise--"Why, this
letter is for me; have been expecting 1t

this demanded ten thalers for the car

ECONOMY.

The word economy, like great many
others, has, in application, been very much
abused. 1t is generally used as if it meant
parsimony, stinginess, or niggardness;
and at last, merely the rerlainlng from ex-
pending money. Hence misers and close
listed men disguise their propensity and
conduct under the name OF econon'y;
whereas the most liberal disposition pre-
csely the contrary Of that Of the mlser, Is
perfectly consistent with economy. Icon
omy means management, and nothing more
and it is generally applied to the affairs OF
the house and family, which affairs are an
object Of the greatest importance, wheth'
er as relating TO individuals or to nation.
a nation is made powerful, and TO be hon
ored in the world, not somuch by the num-
Der Of its people as by the ability and char
Octer OF that people; and the ability and
character of a people depend, in great
measure upon the economy of several fam
lilies, which all taken together, make ul
the nation. There never yet was, ant
never will be, nation permanently great

ed and miserable families.
