A sure Road TO a Competency.

Not one man in Ave hundred will make o
fortune. But competency and an independ-
ent position is within the reach Of most men.
This is obtained most surely by patient indus
try and economy. TIA man has ordinary
talents and ability, in any profession or trade,
he can, by pursuing an economical, persevering
course, be pretty sure of finally obtaining
an Independent position in life. Let his ex.
penses fall below his income. Let him live
cheap, very cheap, if necessary; but let him
be sure to make his income more than cover
his expenses. 1t can be done in almost all
cases, Notwithstanding The positive denial of
ever SO many housekeepers. A man may not
have more than two or three hundred dollars
a year. and may have family as large as that
Of John Rogers, bu; he can find a way to live
comfortably, and lay up something in the
bargain. There is much, nay all, in knowing
how the thingis done. And that is the thing
people who are going to make money have got
to learn. 1t is wonderful how few real wants
we have, and how little it takes to give genu-
inc happiness. five could get rid Of our
artificial, senseless and expensive way Of
living, we should find ourselves better Oft in
purse, in prospects and in heart. Let any
one who has any ambition to go ahead in life,
try the experiment this year, and see how
much there isin economy. Make your expenses
less than your income, and see how much you
will have gained not only in money, but in
the feeling that you are in the condition which
the Yankees denominate 'forehanded." Try

Eating w hen Sick.

1t is the custom amonga certain class Of
people, when a member Of the family falls
sick, to begin at once to ask, "Now, what can
you eat?" Every one has heard the old story
of the man who always ate eighteen apple
dumplings when he was sick. On one
occasion, when engaged upon the eighteenth,
his little son said, spa, give me piece p
mo, no, my son." replied the father, Ego
away, pas sick" When young man has
surfeited, in season and out Of season, until
exhausted nature gives way, and fever is
coming on, the good mother is in trouble -
She anxiously inquiries, "Now, John, what
can you eat? You must eat something
People can't live without food" Then come
toast aud tea, etc. The stomach is exhausted.
and no more needs stimulating or food, than a
faded horse needs the whip. What is needed
is rest, complete rest. Nine tenths Of the
acute diseases might be prevented by a few
days starvation, when the first indications
appear don't mean complete abstinence in
every case, but perhaps piece Of coarse bread
with cold water for drink. If such policy
was generally adopted, what ruin would over
take the medical professionally. Dio Le,sis

wit and Wisdom

To lie little is not possible; he who lies,
lies an entire lie.
Ifyou want to be 'swell' of the first
water, get the dropsy.
The purpose of an unmarried woman is gen.
orally like herself-single. IN.
"Pray keep your seat" as the cockney
coachman said to the wild rabbit.
1t is said to be misprision of treason to ask
q soldier to take dinner and dessert.
Winter too often changes into stone the
water of heaven and the heart Of man.
You cannot dream yourselfinto character;
you must hammer and forge yourself one.
"Union is not always strength" as the
sailor said when he saw the purser mixing his
rum with water.
Love generally makes wise man act like
a fool, and interest sometimes makes fool act
like wise man.
We are ruined, not by what we really want,
but by what we think we do; therefore never
20 abroad in search of your wants. If they
be real wants, they will come home in search
of you; for he that buys what he does not
want, will soon want what he cannot buy.

"B1rE BIGGER, BILLY" -One day gentle
man saw two boys going along one OF the
streets in New York. They were barefooted.
Their clothes were ragged and dirty, and tied
togethed by pieces of string. One OF the
boys was perfectly happy over half-withered
bunch Of flowers which he had just picked
up in the street. II say, Billy" said he to
his companion, "wasn't somebody real good
to drop 'ese posiesjest where could find
them-they're so pooty and nice? Look
sharp, Billy, mebby you'll find something
bimeby." Presently the gentleman heard his
merry voice again saying, 20, jolly Billy,
if here amt most half peach, and it amt
much dirty, neither. Cause you Hain't foun d
nothin' you may bite first" Billy was just
going to take very little taste Of it, when
his companion said, "Bite bigger, Billy,
mebby we'll find another fore long"
What noble heart that boy had, in spite
of his rags and dirt He was "doing good"
in the way that we are speaking of. There
was nobody for him to be kind to but his
companion in poverty--the poor ragged boy
by his side. But he was showing him all the
kindness in his power when he said, bite
bigger, Billy" There was nothing greedy,
nothing selfish about that boy. His conduct
shows how even poor ragged boy can do
good by showing kindness.
Bite bigger, Billy-mebby well find an
other fore long" Who can help admiring
the noble heart of that poor boy? l would
rather have that boys kind and generous
spirit than have monarch's crown upon my
head without it. "Bite begger, Billy =! Think
of these words if you are ever tempted to be
unkind or selfish to your companions.

w 1t seems pity that the House so
summarily voted down that proposition for
committee of three to 60 to Richmond and
beg the rebels to give us peace. 1t would be
a good idea to pack up three of the meanest
of our home rebels and send them off on that
mission, with the hope that jeff. would throw
them into Libby prison or Castle Thunder,
and keep them there till the end Of the war.
And we think of none whom we can spare
better than. Fernando, his brother Ben, and
Ohio Cox. We should want to stipulate,
however, that the rebel authorities should
keep them well separated from our brave
boys in prison. 1t would be too great an in
dignity to them to be mixed up wish such

GETTING OUT OF THE DRAFT.-Since our
notice few days since that persons claiming
exemption on account Of alienage could make
affidavit of the fact to Justice Lefingwell, the
office of that accommodating functionary has
been literally beseiged by the cowardly
whelps who, having enjoyed the blessings of
free country and been protected by benefi-
cent Government, now, in her hour of peril,
when assistance is sorely needed, basely de-
sert her and claim the protection of the very
Government from which most of them were
obliged to flee. About thirty such claims
have been made thus far. The esquire"
were he empowered, could also do a lively
business in the exemption line on grounds of
permanent physical disability, quitea number
of applications having been made to him on
the supposition that he could so exempt if
willing, of which, GOV coorse," no doubt
could be entertained, for wasn't he Dim.

prepared by him, from the unequaled facilities

been unheard Of 1t is probably unnecessary
to state here that the man who made an an
imal show of himself before the Board of En-
rollment, at Davenport, is not included in the
number Of applicants before Justice Letting
