BEGIN TO SAVE.

Nothing is more certain than that when
man begins to lay by money, the desire
to accumulate grows with the growth of
his savings. The "nest egg" is the chief
| difficulty. 4 deposit once made, the self.
denial necessary to enable the depostor
to add to the initial sum becomes less irk-
some every day. until at length the thrifty
individual derives greater pleasure from
the contemplation of his increasing store
than he ever experienced from the outlay
of money to CRAFTY his tastes or pamper
his appetite lie feels proud, too, of his
own power of selfrestraint, and is digni'
fed in his own eyes by his prudential self.
sacrifices. According to the testimony Of
managers Of saving banks, large portion
OF those who open accounts with these ex.
cellent institutions are willing to endure
severe hardships and rrivations rather
than withdraw their deposits.
Let it be understood, then, tina, any
young man who earns his bread by the
sweat Of his brow-nye, or by the sweat Of
his bran-and has sufficient determina-
ton TO limit his wants as to save few
dollars for 4 beginning, is almost sure, by
that very act, to lay the foundation for fa-
ture comfort and competence The first
earnest effort to provide for rainy day
will naturally lead to a second, and the
sequence will 90 on till the great temporal
end Of life, a sufficient provision against
the exigencss of misfortune or the wants
Of age, shall have been made.

THE COMET,

This new visistor seems to have taken
the savans by surprise. Who the stranger
is and whore he came from, is mooted
question with the best of them. Mr. Brad.
ley, Of the Allegheny (Pa.) Observatory,
reports his observation of it as follows:
There is no description Of it in the
books; nothing in any late astronomical
calculations anywhere which would lead
one to expect the appearance Of any such
celestial stranger, and, moreover, while
the appoach OF comets is gradual, growing
more and more brilliant, this one burst
suddenly into view in all its full etiulgence
| am certain there was nothing like it in
the heavens on Saturday night or the
night before, and ! am, therefore, the
more astOunded at such variation from
the known habits of comets.
Mr.. Bradley makes the following calcu-
latlons of its position:

II J. Walker and How he Swears.

There was an unusual hubbub about the
Astor House to-day. Several members Of
Congress from New England and New
York are on their way to Washington, and
the Sons of Maine" dined and wined
the officers Of the 5th regiment, which
passed through to-day. One of the fussiest
and noisiest individuals hereabouts is ex-
Gov. Robert J. Walker, of Mississippi and
Kansas and the Pacific II. r. Company
He lives at Hoboken, and nearly every
day comes over here to abuse and dauounce
secession and traitors. When he gets
about three sheets in the wind he launches
out promiscuously ly and does the most mis-
cellaneous swearing you ever heard He
mixes up his oaths, his devils, his damns,
his traitors, and SO on, all in confusion
without regard to mood Or tense If jeff
Davis ever gets permanently settled in the
place to which Walker has consigned him,
with prayer, at least forty times within
ten days, he will have less confidence in
fast days hereafter than he has now-N.

man who has seen about half the number
Of summers which have contributed 10 ri
pen his highly respectable father; he is
handsome, slender, hot boodei and indie
pendent.
John George Smith, senior, and John
George Smith, junior, are the only remaL.
ing members of particular family of
Smiths. The old man is wdower; the
young man is bachelor. The former is
rich, and the latter is fortunate enough to
have the good will of his worthy progeni.
tor Old Smith is proud Of his son, and
young Smiths proud of-his fathers
purse. II old John took pleasure in accu-
nulating handsome property, i, can be
said without fear of contradiction, that
young John, at the time Of our story, took
no less pleasure in spending what his "a.
ther had acquired.
Both these personages were grea. favor
ties of the ladies'. The fair creatures
liked the father for his quiet humor and
unrivalled gallantry, and the son for his
sparkling wit, pleasing address aud hand
some person. Thus, strange as it may
appear, they at length began to move in
different circles Of society. in order to
have separate and undisputed fields of
operation.
Thus the indulgent father and ELECTION
ate son seldom saw each other except on
matters of business, One morniug, how.
ever, as John George, the elder, was on
the point of entering the apartment of
John George, the younger, 80 speak with
him ON a matter of vital Importance, he
met the latter coming into his own room
to converse with him on an equally inlpor

"Ah, John" said the old beau, taking
his sons hand with unu:al atfabiity.
Tolerable," replied the young bean,
happy in finding his father in good humor;
land am glad to see you looking SO well
to-day. What's the ness?'
Il went to talk with you, John,' said
the elder Smith.
II have no less a desire to have a quie.
serious conversation with you, beloved
father returned young Smith, entering
the old mans apartment.
"On what subject?'
Marriage

"No!"
"Fact"
But you're no notion of taking a wife,

II have, by Jupiter y
"By Juno, so have |. "
II am glad Of it," exclaimed old John
warmly, "You are wild, my boy, and a
wife will tend to tame YOU
"And you are rather gay, father, and a
companion will serve to sober YOU" re-
turned young John, with a sly vein Of 'a'
tire in his tone.
"Pshaw! John. But tell me about
that-your marriage"
"And will you tell me about yours?'
Certainly"
Old John stroked his beard in thought
full manner, then looked up with busl'
ness.like air, and said
"In the first place must tell you that
my intended is rather young for me-"
"Thsre we are even," said the other
with a smile.

A good joke is told Of member of one
of the volunteer companies which went
down to Pensacola. We think it was
Mississippi company, and is said TO be
fact Being accustomed to fresh water
living in the interior, and not having been
to the Gulf Of Mexico before, he was in
blssful ignorance of its brinv properties.
Getting up in tho morning to perform his
daily ablutions, he drow bucket 0: wa
ter, sat it down near some Of his comrades,
and retired for soap and towel. Returned
with the articles, he sousel into the buck
ct Of water, hands and face. The conse,
qUence can be imagined. Recovering
from the shock, and rubbing his burning
eyebals, he exclaimed
can whip the rascal that salted this
water. A man cant draw bucket of
water, and leave it for few moments,
without some prank is played upon him."
Dashing the water aside, he left amid tie
shouts and jeer5 Of his companions, who
had been silently watching him.
A COOL anecdote is told of Colonel Wal
lace's attack on Romney. After the
Zouayes had fred on the rebels, they fell
fiat on the earth to reload, Just as the re-
bells fired on them. An Irish woman liv-
ing in Romney, and who, with many 9TH
ers, was observing the battle from a dis

claimed in exultant tones, " BE Jases, shot
