LIVE WITHIN Your Massive don't like
stinginess. We don't like economy, when IL
comes down to rags and starvation. We have
no sympathy with the notion that the poor
man should hitch himself to a post and stand
still, while the rest of the world moves for
ward. 1t is no more duty to deny himself
every amusement, every luxury, every recre-
alton. every comfort that he may get rich. 1t
is no mans duty to make An iceburg Of him
self, to shut his eyes and ears to the sufferings
of his fellows, and to deny himself the enjoy
ment that results from generous actions,
merely that he may hoard wealth for his heirs
to quarrel about. But there is an economy
which is every mans duty, and which is ospe-
cialiy commendable in the man who struggles
with poverty-nn economy which is consistent
with hat piness, and which must be practiced
if the poor man would secure independence.
1t is almost every mans privilege, and it be-
comes his duty to live within his means not
up to, but within them. Wealth does not
make the man, we admit, and should never be
taken into the account in our judgment Of
men but competence should always be Sc
cured when it can be, by the practice of ecop-
omy and self denial to only q tolerable extent.
1t should be secured, not SO much for others
to look upon, or to raise US in the estimation
of others, as to secure the consciousness Of in
dependence, and the constant satisfaction
winch is derived from its requirement and
nocsassion

GETTING BIrE.-A sea Captain "down
east" regular .'old SALT" relates the follow
ing as one of his fishing experiences:
Once with friend he won't out % catch hal
ibut. His companion prided himself or bis
skill in the business, and trivalry arose be-
tween tho two friends as to which should cap
ture the first fish Having dropped anchor
thence for bite; but for q long time none
came.
At length the countenance Of the captains
companion began to Tighten up; and present
ly he called out
Give got one!'
He commenced hauling in with great vieor.
"He must be large one," said hs, ia hum
drsd pound fellow, at least. He pulls stoutIy
l tell you"
1t was, indeed, evident that Q big fellow
was at the other end of th. auU, anu IL was
soon discovered that 1t was to be no easy mat
ter f fnRsgers mRse fsf him: n1. .;s h. a.rd t,,.
him out 20
Accordingly he gave him line which was
carried off rapidly. Soon the excited fisher
man began to haul in again, making sure of
his victim this time.
"Stand by, captain ~ said he, "with the
boat hook, and hook him in the gills when he
comes up. Get well braced, for he's roarcr.n
The captain accordingly braeed himself for
"a tug, boat hook in hand, and waited impa-
tiently for the moment of capture His eIci-
ted comrade was yet pulling carefully and
slowly at the line, lest 1t should be broken.
and eagerly watching for the frst appearance
of the prize, when suddenly "a sea change"
came ever his features. and dropping the line,
he exclaimed
"Je-rew-sa lem Captain, it's the anchor!''
The Captain went down in Q shower Of
laughter, and it was long day before the
fisherman heard the last of catching an an.
chor, playing it out" and "letting it run ill
it got tired"
