sage old Quaker, snot what thee1l make,

are continually INDUCING in small expenses,
saying to themselves that it is only a triAe,
yet forgetting that the aggregate is serious,
that even the seashore is made up Of petty
grains of sand. Ten cents a day, even, is
thirty-six dollars and a half a year, and
that is the interest Of q capital of six hun.

The man that saves ten cents a day only

We had a little cousin visit us once, a
three years old boy, who had always pref
ty determinedly had his own way. We
found him one day with the old gray cat,
which he had fastened into a barrel and
which was looking rather savagely anxious
to get out.
"How dare you play with that cross old
cat Charlieg" said we. saint you afraid
she will scratch youg"
"Oh," answered the little fellow in his
piping treble, she'll scratch everybody but
], and she won't scratch Ip
Not long afterwards We met poor Char
lie crying bitterly, with several deepwounds
on his face and hands from that naughty
cat.
We laughed at Charles answer at the
time, but we have often thought seriously
OF it since.
We never see a young man who is sure
he can drink moderately and never go to
excess, but we think of "the cat that viii,
scratch everybody but l."
We never see any one recklessly expose
himselfto physical or moral danger, bu'
we think of the cat that will scratch eve
rybody but l."
Very few there are but what some time
get a scratch from this dangerous cat
whose wounds are slow to heal, and who's
venom rankles long.
Whoever trif1es with the truth, selfshl
wrongs another, or carelessly wrongs him
self, is playing a dangerous game, and wi
in the end find himself deeply wounded b

WHO WANTS TO MAKE MONEY.

HAVING engaged in other business that re-
Ii quires my personal attention, I will lease
on very favorable terms, my Store House at Cary,
8 miles west of Raleigh, on the N. c. Rail Road.
This situation possesses every advantage for con-
Quoting a large barter trade, it being the point
where a large portion of the Flour and other pro.
duce of Wake and Chatham reaches the Rail
Road. The House is 81 by A feet, with 8 con-
veniently arranged rooms below and a Masonic
Hall above. There is also a good turnout and
warehouse at the Rail Road, a daily mail, all to.
gether ~affording every facility for a large business
Orif desired by the right kind of a man, one
who would make a good ~neighbor and not sell
whiskey, I would sell $50 acres of land with the
Store House, on which is two or three beautiful
building sites near the Rail Road.
| would also sell on terms that would able ar

The Memory of the Dead.

what is the good of I'll" say those
who would beat down all shrines, and stat
ues and temples, lest in doing homage in
memory of the illustrious dead, we verge
upon pagan alteration. Many ages ago,
the eloquent Pericles, in an Grafton in hon
or of the hero-dead who fell fighting for
the liberty of Greece, declared in true and
burning words the good of doing honor to
the memory of the noble dead. 1t was
not that they-immortal in their deeds
needed fame, or reward for their virtues, but
because the living, by thus squirting emu
lation of the heroic dead, inspired and
enRobled themselves. Their homage was
proof that they were not ungrateful, mol
insensible to the deeds that constitute
glory and renown. No wreath is given
and no monument reared by a nation tC
the memory of its illustrious dead, but i
blossoms with good for the living through
all future time. Virtue is encouraged, pat
riotism kindled, and all that is noble in GU
nature inspired to action, by this homag
