A LESSON IN SAvING.-When l got mar
ried, Mrs. O'Lanus and myself passed a
joint resolution that we would get rich
Getting the furniture took all our ca pital in
hand, but was 10 give Mrs. O'Lanus all
the money got; she was to buy only what
was wanted. and put the rest in the savings
bank.
The first year we wanted more than we
could buy, and the bank account came out
without balance.
The next year my salary was increased.
So was the family.
Likewise the expenses.
Bank account same as year before.
Third year, dilto.
We continued to accumulate at the same
rate for several years in succession.
Then the war broke out, and we conclud-
ed not TO put money in the bank for the pre-
sent, because things were then so uncer-
tain.
Since then, living has been high, and we
have concluded to postpone the accumula-
tlon of a fortune until the income tax is a.
boliehed, and groceries become reasonable.

WRoNGHEADs.-Amon the most unpleas-
ant people one is compelled 10 rub shoulders
with on lifx'S highway, are the class whose
minds t. ke hold of everything, as it were,
the wrong end foremost. They are usually
as obstinate as perverse, aud the false infer
ences they draw from spprehended prom
se- they adhere to with as much tenacIiy
as if they were gospel truths. One knows
not how to deal with such Incorrigibles-
Good-humnred railying they are as likely as
not to mistake for studied insult, kind words
for humbug, endeavors 10 instruct and con-
vince for airs of superiority, and whet every
one may do or say with a view of benefit
ing them, for insldious attempts to get on
their blind side Their field of moral vision
is filled with a mist of suspicion, which dis
torls every thing, and it is IN vain to reason
with them, for you can no more do away with
their absurd impressions than you can wipe
out craven letters with sponge. Errors,
we suppose, is to them what truth is to right
minded men and women, and they cling to
it because they believe in it. They are OBJ
jects OF commsseration, yet being unabata-
BILE nuisances, it is prudent to give them
wide birth. /; is really sad thing to be
pre-disposed by nature to misconceive and
misconstrue; but it is equally unpleasant to
be misunderstood and misconsfrued.

A STORY OF LAwYERs.-Somc years
since, in the ''Quaker City," two men
went to law, as they sometimes do in other
cities. One of them went to an attorney
of his acquaintance friend, to engage
him for his case. "I am very sorry"
said the lawyer, ''that cannot serve you.
but | am retained on the other e.
After mutual regrets, the gentleman said:
Cant you recommend some member Of
your profession whom l can engage ?''
"Oh yes" said Legatus, ''with great
pleasure" So he took his pen and wrote
an introduction 20 good brother OF the
bar, and after sealing it handed it to the
man, who took it and started for the law
yer. On the way he thought he should
like to know what was in the note so he
opened it, which read after this fashion
81 am happy to introduce you to Mr.. A,

Soliloquy.

| wonder if he loves me!
I'D give the world to know
If what he said the other night
Is true and really so.
He said that was pretty,
And looked extremely we'll
| wonder if he meant it!
How I wish that could tell
l wonder if he meant it,
Or did it for lark,
When, going home, to dim the light,
And kiss me in the dark!
| never can get angry,
He's such an awful quiz
And then he comes so often
don't know how it is!
| wonder if he meant it
The saucy, endless tease,
To place his arms around my waist
And give me such a squeeze.
I'm sure he thinks love him,
Because / don't refuse
To please and entertain him
Whenever he may choose.
| really think he loves me,
For. just before he went,
He kissed me twice, and once again,
And said twas only lent.
Tomorrow night he's coming,
To tease me just the same;
So if there's any damage done
I'm not the one TO blame,

1t is said that Gen. Grant is likely, in
his first message to advocate such an a.
mendment Of the Constitution as shall
make the President ineligible to re cleo
tion. 1t is good thing to do, albeit not
one to be often expected from popular
President in his first term, and it would be
just like Gen. Grant to do it.

The Boston Journal says that in con-
nection with the election of Gen. Grant
to the Presidency, and only second to it
in point of interest, is the promotion of
Mrs. Grant to the post of Lady of the
White House" it is gratifying to think
that the position is one which Mrs. Grant
will fill with the true simplicity of an
American women There will be no at
tempt to ape the grandeur of a regal court,
and no vulgar striving after mere sensa-
ton. Mrs. Grant is lady who has main
tanned, through every event which has
marked the vicissitudes of her husband s
life, a marked propriety of demeanor. She
has been his helpmeet in days of adver-
sity, and his she red his honrs without be-
ing dazzled by the position, or contamina-
ted by the foolish adulations of those who
worship at the shrine of success.

The Uprising In France.

The continued political difficulties in France,
coupled with the reported decline in the KIN
peror's health, furnish an inauspioious augury
Tor the perpetuatien OF the Napoleonio dynasty.
The heir apparent will evidently have grea
difficulty In acquiring and maintaining the
position now held by his father, and his pros
poets are not much bstter than those OF the
exied princes of the old line Of French mon
archs. 1t is by no means certain that Louis
Napoleon will not be deposed by his disoon-
tented subjects. His constant efforts to maiu-
tain and extend his popularity have
proved unsuccessful. Always hated by
the sincere Republicans and the sincere Royal
lists, he has failed to endow the Empire with
the glory which Frenchmen demand as a COM
pensation for the surrender Of liberty. Will,
he taxes the resources OF the people heavily,
and maintains an immense standing army, he
grat6es the national pride with no resplen-
dent victories, and his tortuous policy has
resulted In q mortifying failure to extend
French influence in the New World, aud in
the destruction of French domjnauce in
Europe. Helping to raise Italy to
high rank as continental power, French
men contemplate with indignation the danger
that their heroic efforts have aided rather to
strengthen a probable antagonist than to
create formidable ally, aud they are dis
gusted with the failure of the Emperor to
prevent the formation of a new en- pire as
powerful as France. To the loss of national
prestige, and the continued pressure of the
oonscription and hjph taxas ara aidad oon-
slant and irritating prosecutions of the press
and unpopular new exhibitions of absolutism,
and the time may soou come when the people
will be ready to dare anything to secure
change of rulers.

The Situation in Snain.

The prospect Of a speedy settlement OF the
difficulties in Spain, aud the establishment of
a permanent government of liberal ideas in
place Of the despotism of Isabella II, is not
promising. The mOnarchioal and republican
parties are becoming more antagonistio every
day, and the cable gives us rumors of demon
strations threatening the public peace in va
rious places. In Cadiz the republicans paradsd
with arms in their hands, and troops were
prevent further demonstrations; while in
Tarragona the republicans attacked and dis
persed meeting OF monarohists. This sort
of thing is the beginning OF anarchy, and the
only hope against relapse into despotism
is in the speedy establishment of a
stable government, that will command
the confidence of the people and be strong
enough to put down agitators of all parties
who seek to keep up a spirit of dissension. Un-
fortunately the prospects are not encouraging
in this respect. The Provisional Junta seems
satisfied TO keep the management of affairs in
its own hands, and it is rumored that they
intend to postpone the general elections until
the 18th of January and the meeting of the
Constituent Cortes for a month later. In the
present state OF affairs every hour of delay
is dangerous, and We are more than ever con-
viuced not only that the Spanish people are
not prepared for republicanism, but that the
chances of their being granted an opportunity
to try the experiment are exceedingly slim.
They made clean work in the revolution, but
they have not shown any skill in the difficult
task of reconstruction, and we cannot but ad
NIT that the situation grows more unpromis-
ing every day.

The SUCCESS Of General Sheridan in his first
grand assault upon the Cheyenne Indians will
remove the apprehensions that ths country
was about to enter upon an Indian war that
would prove serious drain upon the national
treasury. The present campaign is evidently
instituted with the intention of accomplishing
results briefly and economically, and it does
not belong to the category of the contests
which were waged mainly for the benefit of
contractors, and which were characterized by
their raids upon the revenues rather than by
anydspositiOn or ability to punish murderous
red marauders or to keep the peace on the
frontier.
