A HOLE In nm pOcKET.

A great many men have hole in the pock-
ct, and so lose all the little change they put
in IT, Aud the worst of it is they do not
know it-ir they did, they could mend up the
holc. and so put an end to the loss. Every
day they are minus few dimes, aud wonder
how they come so short. When the bills are
paid, they cannot imagine how they come to
be so short Of change At the end of tho
year, they are surprised to find so poor foot

on plans, and still they do not get ahead

run after roguish cows and jumping horses
and climbing hogs. The stock becomes un-
easy and does not thrive. The crops are in
juIed. The fences are broken down. Time
is consumed. The trouble is, that man has a
hole in his pocket. One man has no sheds,
nor barns, nor granaries, nor tool houses
His grain IS much injured and wasted. The
rats cat his corn, and the damp weather
moulds it. His potatoes rot His pumkins
are destroyed. His fruit does him but little
