LA rEw WORDS on SAVING.

An old Dutchman once remarked that
he "a had become rich by always being
poor" This assertion may seem to involve
a solecism. His meaning doubtless was
that he had avoided display, and habit
ually and from choice steercd clear of
those extravagances which are with many
such fruitful source Of preplexity aud
want Franklin remarked that "a penn
ny saved is two pence earned" and thciei
is world Of wisdom in the old 'adage
that "a stitch in time saves Iine" Ec-
onomy may be practiced in many ways
by the farmer, which are less practicable
or wholly closed to others. And in the
observance of this important virtue-for
virtue it certainly is-there is no nc-
cessily for his appearing mean or par.
simonious 1t is by no ymeaHs opposed
to neatness rto the just and habitual
observance CT those essential and highly
important duties imposed upon us as
members Of the brotherhood Of man
The man whoendeavofs scrupulous'y to
live within the limits of his means, who
labors in d patched frock and clouted
shoes, may be no less deserving Of re-
spect than be whose wealth is daily on
his back. The strictcst economy is by
no means iucompatibleiwith the bright
est virtues. On the farm and in all the
various details Of rural aud, domestic
life prudence and just economy Of time
and MEANS are incumhcntin an eminent
! degree. The earth is of itself composed
of atoms, and the most gigantic fortunes
consist Of aggregated items, Insignificant
in themselves. individually considered,
but msjestic when completed in unity
aud as whole. In the management Of
farm, all needless expenditure .should
be systematically avoided and the in
come made to exceed the outlay.
Pecuniary embarrassment should always
be regarded as a contingency of evil bod.
ing, and if contsnded against with energy
and preseryering fortitude, it rarely fails
of success. Debt, with but little hope Of
its removal, is a milestone dragging US
down, aud crushing the life-blood out Of
u.s. Be careful therefore in incurrine
any peeuniary responsibility which does
not present clear deliverance with the
I advantages which an intelligent action
ought always to insure. A. farmer who
! purchases good farm and can pay down
one third of the price, gives q mortgage
for the other two thirds, and possesses the
i heart and resolution to work it faithfully
4 and well, enters upon the true path tic
success. He will labor with the encou
raging knowledge that each days txer.
tious lessons his Indebtedness and brings
him nearer to the goal when he shall be
! disenthrolled and is q freeholder in its
4 most cheering sense. But without due
economy in every department, III the
dwelling as we'll as in the barns and
fields, this gratifying achievement may
not be reached until late in life, or may
be Indefinitely postponed. A prudeu,
oversight therefore, over all the operations
Of farm. in order that everything may
be done that ought to be done and no
thing be wasted, will exert a powerful
Influence in a family on the highroad tt
an early independence.
