personage resolved to save their com
rades, even at the risk of his own
life.
And It was indeed at the risk Of his
own life, and the lives of all concerned g,
that he put off in bis own boat to the
dangerous island and brought away his
shipwrecked countrymen, a few at q

shipwrecked voyagers having so many
miraculous escapes from impending
death.

It's What You Spend.

"It's what thee'll spend, my sou" said
sage old Quaker, "not what thee'll
make, which will decide whether thee's
to be rich or not" The advice was
trite, for it was Franklin's in another
shape. "Take care of the pence, and
the pounds will take care Of themselves. "
But it cannot be too often repeated
Men are continually indulging 10 small
expenses, saying to themselves, that it's
only a triae, yet forgetting that the
aggregate is serious, that even the sea-
shore is made up of petty grains of
sand. Ten cents a day is even thirty
six dollars and half year, and that
is the interest of capital of six hun
dred dollars. The man that saves ten
cents day is that much richer than
he who does not, as if the owner of
a life estate in house worth six hun
dred dollars; and if invested quarterly
does not take half that time. But ten
ce ants a day is child's play, some will
exclaim. Well then, John Jacob Astor
used to say that when man who wishes to
become rich, has saved tea thousand
dollars, he has won half the battle. Not
that Astor thought ten thousand much
But he knew that, in making such a
sum, man acquired habits of prudent
economy which would keep him advanc
ing in wealth. How many, however
spend ten thousand in a few years il
extra expenses, and then on looking
back, cannot tell as they say, "whert
the money went to-" To save is to ge
rich. To squander, even in small sums
is the first step toward the poor house

way he talks to his Overseer
81 shall not close this letter without
exhorting you to refrain from spirituous
liquors; they will prove your ruin if you

prives himself of it; and when that is
the case, acts like a brute, annoying and

the worst of it. By degrees it renders
person feeble, and not only unable to
serve others, but to help himself; and
being an act of bis own, he falls from
a state of usefulness into contempt, and
at length suffers, if not perishes, in pc

Fires in B adrooms.

Most people, says DR.. Lewis, even
many intelligent reformers, have the
idea that to sleep in q cold room is good
essential to health. 1t is an error
1t is better to have an open FIRE in your
bedroom. The atmosphere is not only
by this means constantly changed, but
with the fire you will keep the window
open, which viii add greatly to the
needed ventilation. But more than
this, with the fire you will have fewer
bedclothes over you, which is a gain, as
a larger number Of blankets not only
interferes somewhat with the circulation
and respiration, but prevents the escape
of those gases which the skin is con
stnntly emitting.
Even furnace or stove heat with IN
open window, is better than a close,
cold room. Interchange with the ex.
tcrnal atmosphere depends upon the
difference between the temperature of
the air within and that without. But
let us have the open FIRE. Let us go
without silks, broadcloths, carpets, and
6nery Of all kinds, if ecessary, that we
may have this beautiful purifier and
diffuser of joy in all our houses. To
my own house have ten open CRATES,
and Gnd, with coal at Sl1, the expense
is frightful, and if it were in any other
department of housekeeping I should
feel 1 could not affprd it; but in this
do not finch, SO important do I deem
the open FIRE.

speech by the President.

WASHINGTON, November 9.--At
late hour last night President Lincoln
was serenaded by a Pennsylvania club.
Being loudly called for, the President
appeared at the window and spoke as
follows:
Fellow citizens--Even before I had
been Informed by you that this compli-
ment was paid me by citizens Of Penn
sylvania friendly to me, 1 had inferred
that you were Of that portion Of my
eountrymen who think that the best In
terests Of the nation are to be subserved
by the support of the present Admins.
tration. l do not pretend to say that
you who think so embrace all the pa.
triotism and loyalty of the country, but
| do believe, aud trust without per-
sonal interest, that the welfare of the
country does require that such support
and Endorsement be given. l earnestly
believe that the consequences Of this
days work, If it be as you assume, and
as now seems probable, will be to the
lasting advantage if not the very saliva
ton of the country. I can not at this
hour say what has been the result of the
election, but whatever it may be, l have
no desire to modify this opinion, that all
who have labored to-day in behalf Of the
Union organization, have wrought for
the best interests Of their country, and
the world, not only for the present, butfOr
all future ages. am thankful to God
for this approval of the people, but
while deeply gratifed for this mark Of
their confidence in me, if / know my
heart, my gratitude is free from any
taiRt of personal triumph. l do not
impugn the motives of any one opposed
to me. 1t is not a pleasure to me to
triumph over any one, but | give thanks
to the Almighty for this evidence Of the
peoples resolution to stand by free
Government, and the rights Of humanity.

Free Maryland.

The Baltimore American, in an article
on the proclam amation of the Governor Of
Maryland announcing the adoption Of
the new and free Constitution, says:
Maryland is free. She has joined
hands with those which have preceded
her in the march Of freedom, and twenty
free States now glitter in the diadem Of
the Union. The borders of human
liberty have been extended to the Po-
tomac, and the dividing lines of Mason
and Dixon are efaced. A step has been
taken from which there will be no retro
gression. NuHa Vestigia retrorsum.-
Justice sits with smiling countenance;
for her scales are equipoised. Even
handed, she has commended the poison
ed chalice to the lips of slavery itself.
Slavery wrought its own overthrow by
seeking its elevation at the expense Of
the territorial integrity Of the nation
But the people have determined that the
Union shall be preserved, and tha the
assassin shall meet the just award Of
capital punishment. Measures have al
ready been inaugurated, in some Of the
States, for the accomplishment of this
object, and Maryland stands among those
which have taken the initiative. The
action thus taken is beyond reversal:
We have put our hands to the plSaV, and
we can not safely or consistently look
back. We breathe free air; we tread on
free soil. The great highway between
us and the National Capital runs through
free territory. TIE Slave Code is a
dead letter; that unspeakable disgrace is
stricken from the statute-b book. We do
not require such code, for we have no
slaves"

A Warlike World.

The Opinion Nationale of q rec ent
date gives this dismal picture of the re-
cent belligerent con dition of the world:
If there be dead calm in politics as
well as business amongst us, il is not
the same in all parts Of the little planet
we inbabit. Three.q quarters of humani-
~, in fact, are living in the barbarous
state of war.
There is war in Poland.
War in Algeria.
War in Tunis.
War in Mexico.
War in the United States.
War in Peru.
War in New Zealand.
Warin China and Kachgar.
War in Japan.
War in Afghanistau.
War in twenty countries in Africa.
This is, unfortunately, enough to dis
courage the fri9hds of universal peace ;
and who can say they will not meet with
still greater disappointment next year
Italy, Hungary, Poland, Denmark, and
the SlavOnian population of Turkey, are
not, it must be confessed, in the most
pacific hunOr; and 10 those who study
the general situation, instead of getting
better, it goes on from day to day getting
more aud more complicated.

HastY Marriages.

The New York Tribune makes the
following sensible remarks on the sub.
ject of hasty marriages:
"ThGre istnOt city, there is scarce
ly a township, which does not mum Der
among its Inhabitants women who have
married on very short acquaintance, on.
y to be abascd, deserted and lift bur
den and lifelong sorrow in the families
IN which they are born and reared and
which they improperly deserted to share
rhe fortunes of relative strangers. IF
young ladies would realize how grossly
indelicate as well as culpably reckless
such marriages appear to the eyes of the
observing, they surely would forbear.
A years thorough acqrainta nee, with
the most circumStantial accounts, from
disinterested aud reliable witnesses, of
he antecedents from childhood, are the
very least guarantees which any woman
who realizes what marriageis will require
Of stranger. Even then, If her parents
are not fully satisfied as we'll as herself,
she should hesitate. Marriage is an un
dertakiug in which no delay can be so
hazardous as undue preci pitation."

Learning g to Write.

boys and girls in school generally
have a horror of composition day, and
often resort to various expedients to
avoid the unpleasant duty then required
One reason for this is, they don't under
stand that the chief charm in writing is
to- be simple and natural, and never to
attempt flights beyond their level. II
they would write as they talk, great
bug-bear would be removed, and the
work would soon grow pleasant. The

are never fearful least good trade or
an excellent bargain should fall into

selfish world, sach characters are rare,
but yet there are a few god-like minds,
who are not altogether swallowed up in
self who read their duty in the scented
flower, the passing breeze, the rolling
ocean, and the blade of grass. Such
men we honor wherever we find them
in the palace or the hut--ar0und our

We see in their characters true glory

others in such degree as TO please their
