AN American spends more money in
amuscments than does the man OF any
other nation, but he spends it in the
wrong way. Our man OF business would
push and worry all the winter, spring,
and part OF the summer. TO save a few
thousands, with which he woald set on;
for Saratoga. or some kindred place,
with his family, and their necessaries, in
order TO spend few weeks in what's con-
sidered fashionable pleasure. Would it
not be better 10 distribute this pleasure
day by day over the whole year? The
process would unfold much greater
amount Of pleasure than he could possibly
realize from his misplaced period Of in-

He rushed in and found little five year
old boy, holding bed blanket around
his little sister, two years younger, who
haG caught her clothes on fire and the
little hero had succeeded in exllnguishihg 2
the flames. The boy, in answer 10 the
question why he wrapped the bed blankr,
around his sisters burning clothes, said
his ma had told him that was The best
way TO put out the fire; and as to why
he halIowed "hclp, help" that lie WAS
afraid he could not succeed and wanted
some one to help. lie was then asked
why he did not leave his sister and run
into the street and cry for help? He an
