SAVING. "A man is very apt to de-
ceive himself into the idea that he can
not save, and it is OF no use attempting
it. He convinces himself that his in
come is little enough for present ne
cessities, and puts off the hope of &C
cumulating, if he forms it at all, to the
happy period when he shall be in bet
ter circustance bnt when they per-
haps improve, his wants have extended
as much, and still the time for saving
is far ahead Then he goes on and on
resolving and re- resolving, until at last
he is surprised by some sudden calam-
| ity, which deprives him of even his or
binary wages. or by death, which cru
ely cuts him off in the very midst of
the best intentions in the void. Did
any man. we would ask, experience q
falling off in his income, even s0 buch
as dollar week Many viii ans
wer they have. Did they continue to
live at . reduced rate? They reply,
we did so, we were compelled to do it..
Very well : and pray what is the differ
ence between being compelled to live a
dollar week cheaper, and compelling
Yourself to do it ? Or, suppose station
mr., wages and rising produce market,
did you not find that, although bread
rose penny II loaf. and other provis-
ions in proportion, you still continued
to make your income procure some
thing like the usual exhibition of
victuals ? You answer yes. And
where, / would ask. is the difference
between spending a small extra sum
upon certain articl of food, and lay.
ing it by for accumulation, supposing
it not to be so needed ? 1t is clear
that if you had the fortitude and
strength of character to make savings
as much matter of compulsion as the
other circumstances are, you would
save. You have, therefore. no excuse
t. present for not saving it. except
that you are too weak minded to alb
stain from using money that is no. in
your power.

The WEATHER. With the exception
of few days of cold weather about a
month ago. the present winter has
been q marvellous mild one The past
week has seemed more like May than
January, and but for the thin pathes Of
snow and ice to be seen in unsunned
places, we should find ourself scanning
our city trees for the hues that betoken
leaf and blossom. The atmosphere is
Just crisp enough for health without
being too frosty for comfort. The sky
rarely looks frowningly. The pigeons
of Vanfeet's stable delight to whirl
and circle in focks above the neigh
boring roofs, and bill and coo along
the caves, in the loving suggestion
which the genial sky seems to inspire.
And what heavenly blessing in all
this gentle pressure of the-malled hand
of winter, generally so cruel and re
lentless What untold suffering to the
poor of our great cities is thus stayed
in its progress 1t divests those twin
monsters, hunger and cold, of their
more terrible aspects In snch wealth
err the poor can work where work is to
be had, and huddling little children
need not shiver hopelessly in garnet or
cellar. God is good and man is un-
grateful.

AEBFsT OF GAMBLERS. Two men,
named Marsh al Dolan, were yes err
day arrested on New Jersey Railroad
train, by officer w. ID. Guolder, for
gambling for money on the cars. On
arriving in this city, he gave one of the
scamps in charge of Constable James
CLASSIFY, who seized the fellow as he sup
posed firmly, but in the twinkling ofan
eve, the fellow slid out of his overcoat,
leaving the same in the Con stables
hands, while with a bound he attempted
to get away, but in SO doing, he jump
ed against locomotive standing near,
being Frustrated thereby, the Constable
meanwhile coming up and selling him.
The "birds" were then taken before
just ce Furman, who received the
sworn affidavit of Mr. Goolder, charg-
ing them with gambling, &c. The jus-
tice, however, discharged the prisoners
on the ground that the complaint was
not sufficient to hold them for trial A
certain obsequious attorney, who fol-
lowed the prisoners, received $40. it is
said, for having got clearance papers
for the "pals. -
As soon as they were discharged.
they FASTENED to the depot, and joining
another confrere, took train on the
Central Road for New York. Officer
Goolder says these fellows have been
travelling over the road for the past
month and more, plying their vocation,
AMI he has been waiting favorable OPP
portunity to arrest them. He has a
poor opinion of the manner in which
justice is administered in this city.

ings replies to q corresp ,ndent in this
wise
" Benvolio." In writing for you nm
analysis of the frog, I must confess
that have copied the whole thing yer.
vatus and liberating, from the work ov
celebrated French writer ov the 18th
cen tuary.
The frog is in the first place a tad
pole, aul body and tail, with coming to
IL head.
He travels in pond holes, by the side
of the turnpike, and is accelerated by
the activity of his tale, which wiggles
with uncommon limberness and vivaci.
ty. BY and by, before long, pretty
soon, in few days, his tale is no more
aud legs begin to emerge from the
south end of the animal. and from til e
north end at the same time may be seen
disposition to head out.
In this curious way the frog is built.
and then for the first time in his life he
begins to git his head above water.
His sue ess is now certain, and soon,
il about five days more, he may be
seen sitting down on himself, by the
side ov the pond hole, and looking at
the dinner baskets ov the children on
their way to the district school.
AS the children cum more nearer
with "a club or chunk of brick in his
hand to swoft him with, he rares up on
his behind legs and enters the water
headfust, without opening the door.
Thus the frog does business for a
spell ov time, till he gifts to Ee a. 81 sssd
then his life is more ramjSed.
Frogs have two mattress, ground and
water and is as free from sin as al
oyster.
lnever knew frog to hurt anybody
that paid cEls honest dues
Cont recolect now whether a frog
has any before legs or not. and il he
don't it amt anybody's business but
the frogs.
Their hind legs are used for refresh
ments but the rest nv him want pay
for eating.
A frog is the only person who can
live in a we'll and not get tired.
The bull frog is the boss of the pud.
die, and has log to sit ON, over on the
other side ov the puddle, and talks to
the rest of the frogs, way down in his
throat so that you can't understand
more than half what he ses ; he is gem
orally cross and lazy old devil, all
over wartz.
This is all there is worth knowing
now about the frog, except that they
ketch flize in fly time, and winter by
freezing up solid.
p. S. j have endeavored to trans
late mi author close, but it is tufF TO
render all his beauties into our tunQ,
without busting the sense.

NE marknbIe RaIIroaa Escape..

There was narrow escape from hor-
rible accident at the crossing OF the
Camden and Atlantic and Camden and
Amboy roads, at Camden, one day last
week. As q large excursion train on the
Atlantic road neared the crossing the
hagmau signalled that oil was right, and
the heavily loaded train kept on. When
it was near the crossing special train
on the Amboy road came in sight around
the curve, approaching at high speed.
The hagman instantly displayed the red
flag, bat neither train could stop. Most
iortuuately one of the brakemen on the
excursion train, had the remarkable
presence of mind to cut the train aud put
the brakes down on the cars cut of, which
so slowed them that gap in the train
was formed Just at the crossing, and the
Amboy train dashed through, and no in
iory was done. But for this the loss OF
life and mangling of bodies that must
have occurred would have been fearful
beyond description. There were two
thousand persons on the excursion train.
On Friday, as the noon express train
on the New Haven road bound east was
nearing Westbrook, the engineer dis
covered COW on the track He instantly
blew the whistle for brakes, upon the
sound OF which dozen cattle rushed
upon the track from the adjacent bushes.
II being impossible to stop the train, the
engine dashed among the animals, kill
ing Eve outright, cutting one into halves
