Live Within Your Means.

We don't like stinginess.----
We don't like economy, when it
comes down to rags and starva-
tion. We have no sympathy
with the notion that a poor
man should hitch himself to a
post and stand still, while the
rest Of the world moves for
ward. 1t is no mans duty to
deng himself every amusement,
every luxury, every recreation,
every comfort, that he may get
rich. It is no mans duty to
make an iceberg of himself, to
shut his eyes and ears to the,
sufferings of his fellows, and
deny himself the enjoy ment
that results from generous ac-
tions, merely that he may hoard
wealth for his heirs to quarrel
about. But there is an econo-
my which is every mans duty,
and which is especially COM
mendable in the man who
struggles with poverty-an
economy which is consistent
with happiness, and which
must be practiced if the poor
man would secure independ-
ence. 1t is almost every mans
privilege, and it becomes his
duty to live within his means;
not up to, but within them
Wealth does not make the man,
we admit, and should never be
taken into the account in our
judgment of men, but compe-
tence should always be secured,
when it can be, by the practice
OF economy and self-denial to
only a tolerable extent. It
should be secured, not so much
for others to look upon, or to
raise us in the estimation of
others, as to secure the con-
sciousness of independence and
the constant satisfaction which
is derived from its requirement
and possession.

Mr.. NJ. J. Dean, of Smith
county, had ten acres planted
in ribbon sugar cane this year,
from which he expects to real
ize 5000 gallons of superior
syrup, or $500 per acre on his
crop. His syrup is spoken of
by the Tyler Reporter as far SUI
perior to any imported article,
at over 20 per cent. advance in
price. These figures cannot
fail to forcibly strike any of
our cotton growers, none OF
whom, in the production of that
staple, dream of realizing over
a 500 pound bale to the acre
equal at present prices, to less
than $50. Let US grow more
sugar cane, broom corn, wheat,
and Indian corn, and less cot
ton, and we can soon boast of
days of pnbounded prosperity.

Invisible Capital.

and vessels and railroads are
not the only capital in the
world. There is a. kind that
political economists make no
mention of-though the Smost
material-minded men recognize
and admit its Ivalue. 1t is
within the reach of men who
are destitute Of all kinds Of cap
ital-within the reach Of the
very poorest. Indeed there is
many a man VINO has started in
life with nothing else, but, by
the judicious'use oft, has been
enabled to'grow rich and pow
erful. It is q good character
This is the first thing a young
man needs in life. 1t is the first
demand in business. There are
many business men who do not
possess it themselves, and who
do not attempt to cultivate it;
but even these discern and es-
TEEN it in others. There is no
dishonest man who does not
exact honesty of those whom
he employs. He may deal un-
fairly with others, but he wants
to be dealt fairly with himself.
Infexible integrity and good
moral habits are the elements
of a good character and
though they may not command
their real value at first, they
will, in the end. The world will,
sooner or later, detect them,
and do homage to them. The
complications and subdivisions
of business require that the
heads of houses should place
large trust in somebody; and
here is where the arithmetical
value of a good character is ex-
hibited. In whom, of all the
clerks and assistants in a large
business shall this trust be
placed Who shall be selected
to share the employers conf.
dence? Not necessarily the
} smartest of his assistants. but

my. They do not mean to do
that which isimproper. In fact,
they would be shocked did one
seek to demonstrate with them
in regard to this practice be-
cause of its immortality or in
justice. They always intend
to be even with the good natur-

him weight for weight, or meas

the residence OF a disputed patient in Greenwich
