HINTS FOR HARD TINES Credit never
permits man to know the real value of
money, nor to have full control over his
affairs. 1t presents all his expenses in
the aggregate, and not in detail. Every
one has more or less of the mser's love
Of money-of the actual gold pieces and
the crisp bank notes. Now, if you have
these things in your pocket,you see them,
as you make your purchases, diminishing
in bulk and number. The lessening heap
cries to you to stop. You would like to
buy this, and the other thing; but you
know exactly how much money you have
left, and if you 60 on buying, that your
purse will soon be empty. You do not
see this when you lake credit. You give
your orders freely, without thought or
calculation; and when the day of pay
ment comes, you find that you have over
run your income.
On every hand We see people living on
credit, putting off payday until the last,
making in the end some desperate effort,
either by begging or borrowing, to scrape
the money together, and then struggling
on again with the canker of care ca ting at
their hearts, to the inevitable goal of
bankruptcy. If people would only "push"
at the beginning, instead of the end, they
would save themselves all this misery
The great secret of being solvent aud we'll
to do and comfortable, is to get ahead of
your expenses. Eat and drink this month
what you earned last month-not what
you are going to earn next month. There
are, no doubt, many persons so unfortu-
nately situated that they can never &C.
complish this, but the majority can, if
they will only determine to do so.
No man can guard against i'll health, no
man can insure himself well conducted,
hopeful family, or permanent income.-
There will be people who cannot help
their misfortunes; but, as a rule, these
unfostunates are far less trouble to society
than those in better positions who bring |
their misfortunes upon themselves, by de. |
liberate recklessness and extravagance.-I
You may help poor, honest, struggling
man to some purpose; but the utmost |
you can do for an unthrift is thrown away. |
You give him money you have earned by
bard labor, be spends it in pleasures which
you have never permitted yourself to
enjoy. !

Polish HOSPITALITY Poland, not
only will the master of the house, as a
matter of course, turn out of bed to bid
you welcome, but the chances are that
bis wife will get up to superintend the
preparation of the strangers supper
Before you get to take the thing as a mat
ter of course, which you do, unfortunate
ly, before you have been long in the coun
try, there is something surprisingly and
deliciouSly charming about tho way in
which your entertainers put themselves
out to accommodate you, an entire stran-
ger. The result of this universal hospi-
tality is, that you feel at home, from feel
ing sure that you are not considered an
intruder anywhere. While travellers of
all other nations may make certain of a
kind reception, Germans and Russians
would find journey in Poland a most
painful experience, and, OH their return
home, would have very unfavorablc ac-
count to give of Polish manners and Gus
toms. This is only the natural, but un-
fortunate result, of every German and
Russian being included in the origina,
guilt of the partitioning governments.
The mere fact that the Poles are a tea,
and not coffee drinking people, brings
them near to US. The music of the hiss
inS of the urn-Gver under the name Of
tho "samovar," or whatever else they
may call it-falls most gratefully on the
ear, and seems to bring with it message
from home. The pleasure of lingering
over his second or third glass-for tea is
served throughout Russia and Poland, as
most of our readers are aware, in glasses
lis one that may be INDUCED to the
hearts content in Poland. How many
hundred times has this social tea been
served up to me at all hours of the day or
night! | harny know whether it was
more refreshing or restoring, il one ar
rived well nigh struck down with the heat,
or perishing with cold. Sometimes, alas!
it was prepared by wives and mothers
with their eyes trimming over with tears,
set to flowing afresh by the mere arrival
Of the stranger. For might not, per-
chance, be the lost one come back? Sad
as is the fate of these poor women who
are now mourning for husbands, sons and
brothers, whom they know to have per-
ished, ten times more pitiable is the ago
nizing uncertainty of those who know
their loved ones went forth to the battle,
but know not what may have become OF
them. These cases, alas! are sadly nu-
merous. Yet, on the whole, it is surpri-
Singly seldom that we see Polish women
weeping.

OLD. FRIENDS.

We just shake hands at meeting
With many that come nigh
We nod the head in greeting
To many that 60 by
But welcome through the gateway
Our few old friends and true
The hearts leap up, and straightway
Keep open house for you,
Old Friends,
There's open house for you!
The sur face will be sparkling,
Let Int a sunbeam shine
Yet in the cup lies darkling
The true life of the wine
The frOth is for the many,
The wine is for the few;
Unseen, untouched of any,
We keep the best for you,
Old Friends,
The very best for you
The many cannot know us;
They only pace the strand,
Where at our worst We show US
The waters thick with sand.
But out beyond the leaping
Dim surge, tbs clear and blue
And there, Old Friends, We are keeping
A sacred calm for you,
Old Friends,
A waiting calm for you

Resolved. That in the future, as in the past, We
will adhere with answering fidelity to the Union,
under the Constitution, as the only solid founda-
ton of our strength, security and happiness as a
people, and as the framework of government
equally conducive TO the welfare and pros pcrty of
all the States, both Northern and Southern.
= Resolved, That this Convention does cXplic
lilly declare, as the sense of the American people.
that after four years of failure to restore the
Union by the experiment of war, during which,
under the pretense Of the military. necessity of
war power, higher than the Constitution itself,
that instrument has been disregarded in every
part, ard public liberty and private rights trOdden
down, and the material prosperity of the country
essentially impaired, Justice, humanity, and liber
ty, and the public welfare demand that imme late
efforts be made to bring about cessation of hos
Utilities, with view of an ultimate Convention of
the States, or other peaceabe means to end it.,
that at the earliest practicable moment peace may
be restored On the basis of the Federal Union of
the States.
3. Resolved, The direct interference Of the
military authorities of the United States in the
recent elections held IN Kentucky, Mary land, Mis-
souri, and Delaware, was shameful violation of
the Constitution, and repetition Of such acts In
the approaching election will be held to be revou-
tionaiy, and resisted with al the means and pow
cr under our control.
1. Resolved, That the aim and object of the
Democratic party is to preserve the Federal Union
and the rights Of the States unimpaired and they
hereby declare that they consider the Admins ira
tiOn'S usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous
=
version of the civil by military laws in States not
in insurrection; the arbitrary military arrest,
imprisonment, trial and sentence Of American
citizens in States where civil law exists in full
force the suppression of freedom Of speech and
of the press the denial of the right Of asylum ;
the avowcd disregard of State rights the employ
mcnt of unusual test oaths, and interference with
and denial of the right Of the people to bear arms
calculated to prevent the restoration Of the
| MON, and the perpetuation of Government de
irving its just powers from the consent of the
governed.
5. Resolved, That the shameful disregard by
the Administration of its duty in respect to our
fellow citizens who and long have been
prisoners Of war, and in suffering condition,
deserves the severest reprobation, the score
alike OF public and common humanity.
6. Resolved, That the sympathy of the Demo
cratic party is heartily and earnestly extended 20
the soldiers of our army, who now are an have
been i'll the field, under the flag of their country.
and IN the event Of our attaining power, they will!
receive all the care, protection and regard that
as brave soldiers of the Republic, they have
bly, earned.
