you 10 make change within word,
be cconomical-be accuratc--know what
you are doing-be honest and then be
generous, for all you have or acquire
thus belongs to you by every rule OF
right, and you may put it 10 any good
use. And you will put it to good use
If you acquire 1t justly and honestly, for
you have a foundation, a background
which will always keep you above the
waves of evil. 1t is not parsimonious-
ness to be economical. Ii is not miscr-
ly to save u pin from loss. tits not self
ish to be correct in your dealings. 1t Is
not small to know the price OF articles
you arc about to purchase, or to remem-
Der the little debt you owe. What if
you do meet Bill Pride decked out in
much better suit than yours, the price OF
which no has not yet learned from his
tailor, and he laughs at your faded dress
and old fashioned notions of honesty
and right, your day will come. Frank
lin, who from penny saving boy, walk
ing the streets with roll under his arm,
became companion for kings, says,
"Take care Of the pennies and the dol
lars will take care of themselves" La
Fitle the celebrated French banker leav-
ing tho house to which he had applied
for clerkship, was not too proud or
careless to pick up pin. This simple
pin laid tho foundation to his immense
wealth. The wise banker saw the act,
called him back, and gave him employ
ment, convinced by this seeming small
circumstance Of his ability and honesty.
Bio just and then be generous. Yes, be
just always and then you can always be
generous. Bcnevolence is great duty,
a hcaven-given privilege, by which you
not only benefit the object, but feel u
sensation of joy in your own soul which
is worth more, far more, than gain
But you may not give your neighbours
| goods. Your own just earnings you
should always share with the needy, but
generosity can never be measured by the
amount you lavish on fine dress, or
that you spend with your friends to sat
isfy tho requirements of vanity and fol-
ly. What if they do pat you on the
shoulder! They would do as much TO
any dog that would serve them. 1t is
the service not yourself that gets the
ilattery or you spend your money for
naught certainly. Well, let the girls
say you are small, rather than spend that
dollar you need for book Get the
book, if it is n good one, it will tell you
that no girl worth having ever selected
man for husband for his long tailor
or livery-stabe bill more than for his
) long ears. Davenport (Iowa) Bee.
