SLOW BUT SURE.

We may learn something from our German
citizens They thrive on the same income
that Yankee would starve on. We knew a
Young German whose capital, when he land
ed on our shores, consisted of a singularfy
constructed suit Of blue clothes, and long
tailed pipe. Yet in five years, he had
house and lot, money at interest, wife aud
two babies and any quautty of domestic bliss
and picked cabbrge. During the most OF
this time our meritorieus friend received
salary of oaly six dollars week. A Yankee
might have received five times that sum and
come out over head and cars in debt The
fact is, Germans have very sensible notions
Of lifo-They ore not fast. They brink beer
and smoke pipes with astoRishinsly long
stems but they arc not often addicted to
scalling on" mutitudinous BASKETS Of expen-
sive Heidsick. They are Industrious and eco
nomical. They know enough to lay up
something for rainy dav, which is a great
deal more than some Americans KNOW
Many Americans seem to think that they
will have no difficulty in borrowing umbrell-
as, when the fnncia rainy day comes, but
they ascertain their mistake when the time
aroivcs and also too sften forced to seek
shelter in the poor house, or 60 and live with
their parents Meanwhile our 7eutonic

He had written to man on the route,
notifying him to remove a barn, which

An exile now I roam,

'Mong strangers penniless,
Without a token to remind me
That e'er had home.

And though without friend,
Faithful, brave, and perseverinG
Mid failures pcrsevering,
Whatever trial comes DER me
I'll conquer in the end!
Well!-from former friends sever,

Yea! write my name forever
