How TO SAVE GAs.-An observance Of the
following direction by correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, may save money to gas
consumers, matter worth looking after in
these hard times =" The high pressure in the
main pipes, If allowed to 20 unchecked 20 the
burners valves, will consume a much larger
quantity of gas than they otherwise would,
even If it is regulated at the burner valves.
The proper place to regulate is the main valve
near the metre, which would be shut off until
the burners are just right, with their valves
open full. By this means all our burners will
be uniform, and the lights will be rs good with
two-thirds Of the main valves on, az it would
turned on full. Look to your main valves
every time the Collector goes to the metre.
This information came from an experienced
gas manufacturer after he had sold out.

Sixpence a Day.

A London paper furnishes as with the
following interesting anecdote, which we
wish our friends would read and think
about. What is said about sixpence
spent daily for one thing that is useless
or hurtful (strong drink, for example)
may be said of the same sum spent for
any hurtful or pernicious thing tobacco.
for example.)
There is now an old man in an aims
house in Bristol who states. that for sixty
years he spent sixpence a day in drink,
but was never intoxicated.
A gentleman who heard this statement
was somewhat curious to ascertain how
much this sixpence a day, put by every
year at five per cent compound interest,
would amount to in sixty years.
Taking out his pencil he began to cal.
culate. Putting down the first years
saving (three hundred and sixty Eve six
pences, nine pounds sterling eleven shili-
ings and sixpence, he added the interest,
and thus went on, year by year, until he
found that in the sixtieth year the six
pence a day reached the sterling sum Of
three thousand two hundred and twenty
five pounds nineteen shilllngs and six
pence. More than fifteen thousand dol.
lars.
Judge of the old mans surprise when
told that, had he saved his sixpence a
day, and allowed it to accumulate at
compound interest, he might now have
been worth the above noble sum, 50 that
instead of taking refuge in an alms-house,
he might have comforted himself with q
house of his own costing three thousand
five hundred dollars, and fifty acres of
land worth two hundred and fifty dollars
per acre, and have left the legacy among
his children and grand children, or used
it for the welfare of his fellowmen.

Arguments for the Bible.

There are four grand arguments for the
truth of the Bible, The first is the mira
Giles on record the second the prophe.
cies the third the goodness Of the doc
trine /; the fourth the moral character.
The miracles flow from Divine power ;
the prophecies from Divine understand
ing !; the excellence of the doctrine from
divine purity. ThusjChristianity is built
upon these four ~immovable pillars-the
power, the understanding, the goodness,
the purity of God. The Bible must be
one of these things-either an invention
of good men or good angels, or bad men
or bad angels, or a revelation from God.
But it could not be the inyentfon of good
men or angels, for they neither would or
could make a book telling lies at the
sane time, saying Thus saith the Lord"
they knew it to be all their own in
vention. 1t could not be the invention
of wicked men or devils, for they could
not make a book which commands all
duty, which forbids all sin. and which
condemns their souls to all eternity. The
conclusion is irresistible the Bible mast
be given by Divine Bishop
Simpson.
