DON'T Be EXTRAvAGANr.-If tho

never buy what you don't need.
Before you pay 8 cents for jews
harp, my boy, ascertain whether you
can not make just as pleasant a noise
by whistling for which nature fur
nishes the machinery, and before you
pay seventy-fve dollars for coat,
young man, find out whether your
lady would not be just as glad to
sec you in one that cost half the
money. IF she would not, let her
crack her own hazlenuts, and buy
lher own clothes.
When you see a man spending two
or three dollars a week foolishly, the
chances are five to one that he'll live
long enough to know how many cents
there are in a dollar; if he don't he's

when the people of the South-dc
vastated, destroyed and ruined as it
is-*illz learn to practice economy
and thrift in their dailE,pursuits, and
amusements. We had hoped that
the painful experience, of the last six
years would have produced such a
lasting and:benefeial inpr ressiou upon
all classes and races of our citizens
as as would have caused them to real
ne the truth and wisdom Of the pro-
verb of thesancients, that; the great-
ness, and grandeur, and strength. Of q
nation Is not to be estimated by its
pecuniary resources, ;orbyitss lavish
expenditure of money and means
The teachings Of fadp pefsity in cur case,
However, have eentotally inadequate
to:perform the good, work which is
usually their accomp mpaniment.; It
seems to be a failing ofthe Southern
character that We are not able to jas
simulate our tastes and habits to. the
destitute condition of our beloved
country. In~formcr timcs-thosc in
sshfeh wealth and plenty flowed in
upon all of rs-tliarc waS Tcsllv no
necessity for wisdom or prudence in
the disbursement of our riches. The
necessities of life were amply provi-
ded for, and comforts and luxurics
were within reach of every one. We
could indulge in the qualification OF
all innocent and harmless desires,
without being saddcucd by the gloomy
reflection that there were thousands
around us who lacked the wl4crcwith-
al to keep body and. soul together.
But we should not live ii the pres
ent as VIC have lived il tic past. We
should have some consideration AID
care for the future. Starvation and
famine exist i'll may parts OF the
country, and we necu Ill Iaa' We ca"
spare from our own support, to the
end that we may be Instrumental in
relieving, as far as We can, tho whole
sale poverty by which we are sur
rounded. It is far roblcr to lay a
side all unnecessary expenses, and
thus be enabled to help our ncighhcrs,
than to clothe ourselves in "purple
and fine linen," ard to waste our
substance in riotous living, when we
know that by so doing we arc but
adding ten-told to the want and suf-
fering against which MANY of our
friends and kindred are daily strug-
CLING. 1t is the duty of the honest
rnan-thc patriot, and the christian
to minister to the helpless and needy
of his class, and to expend his sur
plus in deeds of charity, and of BROTH
Jy'love. Unless this duty is faithful
ly performed we kneel in vain before
the throne of the Almighty, andwaste
our breath in prayers and supplica-
tions that will never be answered.
