Can't Afford It.

The Erie Republican has seen the man
who couldn't afford to take a paper. 1t
gives the history as follows. He had his
counterpart in thiA county:
There are men who don't take paper,
because they ''can't afford it'they are too
poOr-they require all their money to keep
up their family expenses these hard times
We met one of these the other day, and we
said to him he ought to have the RePubli-
can. "Wel, really" said he, 81 would If
I could afford it. Would like to oblige you;
but things are so terribly tight just now
that it is hard to make both ends meet
We did not press the matter upon onr hard
up friend, but knowing his habits, we made
the following calculations, based on that
knowledge: Two glasses of ale day at
ten cents, seventy three dollars; three ci-
CARS, one after each meal, one hundred and
nine dollars and fifty cents; board for big
dog, thirty dollars--all in one year, two
hundred and twelve dollars ond fifty cents
sufficient to buy six barrels of -four, one
barrel of sugar, one sack of coffee, one
good coat, respectable dress, frock for
the baby, and half dozen pair of shoes,
and all the daily papers in the city, TO say
nothing of books, magazines. etc. You see
the point---the man couldn afford it, and
there are thousands just like him for the
same reason.

Locking Back.

It is the solemn thought connected with
middle age that life's last business is begun
in earnest and it is then, midway between
the cradle and the grave, that man begins
to look back and marvel, with kind of re
morseful feeling, that he let the days Of
youth go by SO half enjoyed. 1t is the pen
sive autumn feeling it is the sensation of
half sadness that we experience when the
longest day of the year is past, and every
day that follows is shorter. aad the lights
fainter, and the feeble shadows tell that na-
ture is fastening with gigantic footsteps 10
her winter grave.
So does man look back upon his youth.
When the first gray hairs become visible,
when the uuWelcome truth forces itself up
on the mind that man is no longer going
up the hill but down, and that the sun is
already westeriug, he looks back on things
behind.
Now this is natural feeling, but is it
wise Is it the high Christian tone of
feeling We answer, No. We, who have
an "inheEitance incorruptble and undefled.
and that fadeth not away" what have we
to do with things past? When We were
as children, we thought as children. But
now there lies before Us manhood, with its
earnest work; and then old age, and then
the grave, and then home. An so man
hood, in the Christian life is better than
boyhood, because it is a..riper thing and
old age ought to be brighter, calmer, and
a more serene thing than manhood.
This is a second youth for man, better
and holier than the first, if be will look on
and not back. There is peculiar simpll-
city of heart, and touching singleness of
purpose in Christiaa-ofd age which has RI
pened gradually and not ftfully. It is then
that to the wisdom of the serpent is added
the barmlessness of the dove it is then
that to the frmness of manhood is joined
almost the gentleness of womanhood; it is
then that the somewhat austere and sour
character of growing strength, moral and
intellectual, mellows into the ripeness of an
old age, made sweet and tolerant by expe-
rience. 1t is then that man returns to first
principles. Then comes love more pure
and deep than the boy could ever feel
then comes a conviction, with a strength
beyond that which the boy could never
know, that the earliest lesson of life is in
finite. Christ is all in all.-Earnest Thoughts

Wealth.

One great cause of the poverty of the
present day is, the failure of our common
people to appreciate small things, They
feel that if they cannot save large sums
they will not save any thing. They do not
realize how a daily addition, be it ever so
small. will soon make large pile. II the
young men and young women of to-day
will only begin, and begin pow, to save
little from their earning, and plant it in the
soil of some good savings bank, and week
ly or monthly add their mite, they will
wear happy smile of competence and ia
dependence when they reach middle life.
Not only the pile will itself increase, but
the desire and the ability to increase it will
also grow. Let clerk and tradesman, labo-
rer and artisan, make now at once begin
ming. Store up some Of your youthful force
and vigor for future contingency. Let pa.
rents teach their children to begin early to
save. Begin at the fountain head to control
the stream of extravagance, and the work
will be easy. To choose between spend
ing and saving is TO choose between power
ty and riches. Let our youth go. on in
habits of extravagauce, for fifty years to
come, as they have for fifty years past, and
we shall be nation of beggars withs a mo-
neyed aristooracy. Let generation ofsuch
as save 10 small sums be reared, and We
shall be free from all want. Do not be am
bilious for exravagant fortunes, but do
seek that which is the duty of every one to
obtain. independence and a comfortable
home. Wealth. and enough of it, is with
in the reach Of all. It is obtainable by one
process, and by only one-saving.

Danger fromFetinr Nnts.

As this is the season for drinking
cider and eating nuts, it may not be
out of place to give hint which may
be useful. Medical men advise that
salt should be taken with nuts, espec-
tally when they are eaten at night.
One time, says a writer, while enjoy
ing visit from an Englishman, hiek-
oTlF nuts were served in the evening,
when my English friend called for
salt, stating that he knew of a case OF
a woman eating heartily of nuts in the
evening who was taken violently ill.
The celebrated DR.. Abernethy was
sent for, but it was after he become
too fond of his cup, and he was not in

Next morning he went to the place,
and she was a corpse. He said had

lieyed her; if they would allow him
to make an examination, he would
convince them. On opening the
stomach the nuts were found in a
mass. He sprinkled salt ON this, and

About ShaMIs.

An exchange IN discussing the cost
of Cashmere shawls in Little Thibet.
says: At the best the wool is dear a
large goat gives at the most about six
or eight ounces only the greyish down
which makes the shawl. This down
or underwood is bleached, spun into
thread, and dyed into many lovely
cOlOrs; and then the shawl-merchants
give out the yarn to their spin
ners, with minute instructions regard
ing the pattern and quality. The poor
''OOstandn, or weaver gets no more
than seven or eight pice per day for the
exquisite fabric which an empress will
perhaps wear. But, then, a really fine
Cashmere" will OCCUPY a shOp OF
three or four workers a whole twelve
month. The plain Cashmeres are
woven with thin long shuttle alone;
the richest are made with wooden nee
dies, distinct needle for every shade
of color and a quarter of an inch OF
sucha shawl will often take three 'OOs-
tands' a whole day to complete. Ladies
ought to know That sometimes to ex-
pedite the manufacture, the Cash
meres make the articles in seperate
peiees, which they sew together with
such wonderful dexterity that in
London or Paris, many a shawl is
bought for one hundred that is not
worth half its price. The weavers
work the wrong side uppermost, with
a cOlOred paper pattern before them
for guide; nevertheless they attain
the most beautiful accuracy. 1t is this
mode of working that puzzled all the
imitatOrs in Lyons, Nismes and Pals
ley. The true Cashmere is indeed a
delightful article-sO light, and vet so
warm, besides displaying a splendid
harmony of tints which it has taken
three or four thousand years to teach
the weavers; for its design is as old as
the Ayrans. Therefore it must needs
be initiated; and the French make
their warp and weft of the genuine
goats wool, and faithfully COPY the
figures and hues of the original. But
they can not, with all their machinery
and manifold shuttles match the
brown fingers of the Asiaties and
their Paris Cashm0res show on the re-
verse side cut ends of yarn which the
shawl never betrays. Lyons
labricates an extraordinary imitation
it is true of the Oriental article cut
with such pains and cost, that the
price is scarcely lower than that of
the genuine Srinuggur square. Could
we but have the Kushbegi's goat wool
brought into the Purjab at a cheap
rate of cost, the patient, humble spin |
ner of India, would beat Europe hOl- |
low, with all Europe's ingenuity
