How like the love of the old-Fashioned

Swept away BY passion that child might

BIAHcA's FATHER"
How Small Expenditures Count.

Five cents each morning. A mere
trine. Thirty-fve cents per week. Not
much, yet it would buy coffee or sugar
for a whole family. sls25. Aud this
amount invested in savings bauk at
the end Of each year, and the interest
thereon at six per cent. computed an
nually, would iu twelve years amount
to more than s670. Enough to buy q
good farm in the West.
Five cents before breakfast, dinner,
and supper you'd hardly miss it, yet
it is fifteen cents a day; sl05 per
week. Enough to buy wife or daugh.
ter dress. s54,66 a year. Enough
to buy a small library Of books. Invest
this as before, aud in twenty years you
would have over $4,000. Quite enough
to buy good house and lot.
Ten cents each morning.; hardly
worth second thought; yet with it
you can buy paper of pins or spool
of thread. Seventy cents per week it
would buy several yards Of muslin
s36 so in oneyear. Deposit this amount
as before, aud you would have sl340 in
twenty years; quite a snug little for
tune. Ten cents before each breakfast,
dinner and supper-thirty cents day.
II would buy book for the children.
$40 a week enough to pay for n
years subscription to a good newspa-
per. s100.29 a year. With il you
could buy good melodeon on which
your wife or daughter could produce
sweet music so pleasantly to while the
evening hours away. And this amount
invested as before, would in forty years
produce the amount $4,000.
Boys learn lesson. If you would
be a happy youth, lead sober life, and
be n wealthy aud influential man, iu-
stead of squandering your extra change,
invest it IN library or savings bank.
If you would be miserable youth,
lead drunken life, abuse your chill
dren, grieve your wife, be wretched
and destitable being while you live, and
finally 60 down TO dishonored grave,
take your extra change and invest ii 10

show that Of the vast army Of the in.
tempcrate-of the SOC, 900 in our land
who are vending their way toward a
drunkard's doom, comparatively few
are reformed-ouly here and there one

blindfoids its captives, leading them
speedy to utter ruin. Companions 10

one another, and present united front
against saving influence. Together they
drown the voice ofadmonition in the cup,
together they cheer the way to death
with songs ofrevelry, and fortify their
hearts against God aud salvation BY
ridicule Of true and serious things. Thus
they are held fast under the bonds Of
iniquity. The mother sees her son in
the path of the destroyer, and goes after

Select 2ostry.


A lesson in itself sublime,
A lesson worth cnshrining.
In thls-"I take no heed of time,
Save when the sun is shining"
These motto words a dial bore,
And wisdom noyfr breaches,
To human hearts a better lore
Than this short sentence teaches,
AS life Is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let US forget the toll and care,
And note the bright hours only.
There Is no grove on earth's broad chart,
But has some bird to cheer IL,
So hope sings on In every heart,
Although we may not hear IT.
And IL to-day the heavy wing
or fsorrow Is depressing,
Perchance tO-morrow's sun will bring
The weary heart blessing,
For life Is sometimes, etc.
We bid the Joyous moments haste,
And then forget their glitter;
We take the cup Of life, and taste
No portion but the bitter;
But we should teach our hearts to deem
Its sweetest drops the strongest;
And pleasant hours should ever seem
To llnger round us longest,
As life Is sometimes, etc.
The darkest shadows of the night,
Are just before the morning;
Then let us wait the coming light,
All boding phantoms scorning;
And while we're passing on the tide
Of tines fast ebbing river,
Let's pluck the blossoms by its side,
And bless the gracious giver.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1869-07-22
