HINTS FOR HARD TIMES.

Credit never permits man to know
the real value of money, nor to have
full control over his affairs. 1t pre-
sents all his expenses in the aggregate,
and not in detail. Every one has more
or less Of the miser'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, visibIy
diminishing under your eye,
The lessening heap cries to you to
stop. You would like to buy his, that,
and the other but you know exactly
how much money you have left, and
if you go on buying more things your
purse will soon be empty. You do not
see this when you take credit. You
give your orders freely, ,withoutthough
or calculation; and when the day Of
payment comes, you find that you have
ovorrun the constable.
On every hand we see people living
on credit, putting off payday to the
last, making in the end some desperate
effort, either by begging or borrow
ing, to scrapc tho money together, and
then struggle on again, with the can
ker of care eating at their heart, to
the inevitable goal of bankruptcy, If
people would only mako a push at the
beginning, instead of the end, they
would save themselves all this misery
The great secret of being solvent, and
comfortable, is to get ahead ofyour cx-
penscS. Eat and drink tIi6 month
what you have earned last month
not what you are going to earn next
month. There are, no doubt, many
persons so unfortunately situated that
they can never accomplish this, ,
No man can guard against i'll health ;
no man can insure himself a wcll-con-
Quoted, helpful family, or perma,
nent income. There will always be
people who cannot help their misfor-
tunes But, as a rule, the unfortunates
are far less trouble to society than those
in better position who bring their
misfortunes upon themselves by delib,
crate recklessness and cxtravagance.
You may help poor, honest, strug-
Cling man to some purpose. But the
utmost you can do for an unthrift is
thrown away. You give him money
you have earned by hard labor-ho
spends it in pie tasure which you have
never permitted yourself to enjoy,
The best pleasures-those which
swceten life most and leave no bitter
ness behind-are chelp pleasures
What greater pleasure can man enjoy
than the sense of being free and indie
pendent? The man with his fine
house, his glittering carriage, and his
rich banquets, for which be is in debt,
is slave, 4 prisoner, forever dragg
ing his chains behind him through all
the grandeur Of the false world through
which he moves,-[All the Year Round

MR. PETERS FIRST WIFE,

''Dear, dear! no toast, eggs boiled
hard as brickbats, and the coffee stone
cold" and Mr. Peters rose from the
break fast table in temper by no means
amiable, and rang the bell violently.
There was no answer. He rang again
"a third, fourth time-still no answer!
Out of all patienco he went to the door
and called, maria, Marial"
A slight, pretty little woman, dress
ed in n soiled, tumbled wrapper, with
hair in a state of dreadful confusion,
answered his summons. She had one
of those round, bright faces which ma
ture intended should be decked with
continual smiles; but now with all. its
roses in bloom, it was drawn otis full
length, and the large blue eyes had a
serious, or rather doleful expression,
totally at tariaiico with their usual
joyous look. Her voice, too, had lost
its melodious, ringing sound, and was
subdued to a dismal whine.
"What is it, Joseph2" ......
"Where's Brdget?" .....,.. ,.,.
"Gone cut for me. I want more
white ribbon for my ascension robe" :"
Mr.. Peters said very naughty word
and then continued; "Cold coffee,
hard eggs-breakfast not fit to eat"
II WISH" whined his wife, "you
would think less of temporal matters,
and turn you attention to the great
end of life" .,,,
"Hang it all, Madam l would like to
enjoy my life whilo l do have it. Here
was |, the happiest man in the United
States, with pleasant home, a chatty,
cheerful, loving wife, and good, quiet
children and now, since you have
Joined the MiIlerites, what am l p
"Oh, Joseph, ifyou would only come
into that blessed circle"
Oh, Maria, if you would only come

"Tm cure I don't know" . . g..
"Aro they going to school to-day ?"
any dear, their teacher has given
lip the school, and is turning her mind
to moro exalted objects. Oh, Joseph,
turn now while thore is time. You
have still a week for preparation and
repentance"
"Ropentaice Well, when l take up
the subject it will take more than
Week to put it through"
And Mr.. Peters put on his coat and
took up his hat.
"Joseph," said his wife, "you need
not send home any dinner. I shall be
out, and I'll take the boys over to their
uncle's to dine" .-.
Joe made no answer, unless the vio-
lent emphatic manner in which he clo-
sed the door was one. Muttering with
anger, he strode into a restaurant to
make breakfast. Here he was hailed
by one his old batchelor friends, Fred
Sommers, who looked up as he heard
Joe's order.
'Hallool" he cried, "you here?--

MY AUTUMN WALK.
BY VIZ. CULLEN BRYANT.

lTi-
By VIZ. CULLEN BRYANT.
On woodland ruddy with autumn,
The amber sunshine lies
look on the beauty round me,
And tears come INTO my eyes.
For tho wind that sweeps the meadows,
Blows out OF tho far Southwest,
Where our gallant men are fighting,
And the gallant dead are at rest.
The golden rod is leaning,
And the purple aster waves
In abreeze from the land ofbattleS,
breath from the land Of graves.
Full fast tho leaves are dropping
Before the wandering breath;
As fast, on the field Of battle,
Our brethren fall in death.
Beau tiful over my pathway,
Tho forest spoils are shed;
They are spotting the grassy hillockS.
With purple and gold and red. ....
Beautiful is the death sleep @
OF those who bravely fight
In their country's holy quarrel,
And perish for the right.
But who shall comfort the living,
The light Of whose home is gone;
The BRIDE that, early widowed,
Lives broken hearted on.
The matron whose sons are lying
In graves on distant shore;
The maiden, whose promised husband
Comes back from the war no more!
Hook on the peaceful dwellings
Whose windows glimmer in sight,
With croft, and garden and orchard,
That bask in the mellow light;
And know that when our couriers
With news Of victory come,
They will bring bitter message
Of hopeless grefto some. ....
Again turn to the woodlands,
And shudder as l SEQ
The mocb-grape's" Hood red banner
Hung out on the cedar tree
And l think ofdays of slaughter,
And the night sky red with flames,
On the Chattahoochie's meadows,
And the wasted banks OF the James.
o, for the fresh spring season,
When the groves arc IN their prime,
And far awayin the future
Is the frosty autumn, time.
O, for that better season,
