Foune Men, ssTe Part Of Four Money

Again and again we urge upon all
young men, who are just starting in
life, 70 make 1t an invariable rule to
lay aside certain proportion Of their
income, vhztever that income may
Be.
Extravagant expenditures occasion
q very large part Of the sufferings Of
3 great majority Of people. And ex-
Z fraVagance Is wholly q relative term.
What Is not az al extravagant for one
person may be very extravagant for
another. Expenditures-no matter
how small In themselves they may be
are always extravsgant when they
come fully up 70 the entire amount of
a persons whole income.
The mode of living is almost entire
j. q matter Of habit. It Is just as easy
70 get along with three-fourths Of
your incame-what the amount Of il
may be-as on the whole Of it, if you
only think so, and restrict your ex.
penditures accordingly. A young
man who afterWard became one of the
wealthiest merchants in Philadelphia,
began housekeeping on a salary of
three hundred dollars year, but he
laid up q part Of that three hundred
dollars, and he made il a rule Of his
life never 70 increase his expenses so
fast rs his income increased.
The thousand Inconvenience of
debt, embarrassment and dependence
msy all be avoided by q firm and un.
deviating adherence to this rule.
One great aid in pursuing the course
which we have recommended, will be
found in keeping an accurate account
of all receipts and expenditures. BY
frequent reference TO this you will see
jI1st what you can afford to expend,
without encroaching on your rule
and you will also see what of your ex-
penditures you can most convenient
~ curtRil, or cut of entirely.
There Is great deal, too, in refiec-
ton and foresight, in the expenditure
Of your money. II is very common
remark that one person willmake the
same amount 60 twice as far as anoth-
er. This Is owing to the employ ment
Of greater prudence and Judgment in
buying. Almost any amount Of mon
ey can be thrown away, and scarcely
anything obtained for Il, BY thought
less, careless spendthrifts
We despise skinfints. But econo-
my and mesnness are by no means
identical. On the contrary, as it is
easy for any one to see, an unselfish,
judicious eeo1omy-a wise saving
furnishes the means not only Of inde-
pendence, but Of benevolence and
generosity also.

The Bad Habits OfOhOirs.

The New York Examiner thus de-
seribes fashionable choir:',. 1.-THE

ton and demonstrative delight; then
their salntations and greetings, which
IN any other part Of the church would

Therefore the choir loft is not recog-
nized as part Of the church, or the
inhabitants a part ofthe woTshippers;)

by appropriate whispers, during the
prayer or reading of the Holy Bible :;
then a literary entertainment, or an
exchange Of penciled notes on all the
great questions that interest the hu-
man mind-excepting religion; then

EaturaliEed words.

fhe original nationality of most Of
these ndtEnaIlzed words lsucn, for In
stance, as 6aQerl Is universally known.
There are some, however, with whose
extraction we are not 50 familiar
Among these Is "Kriss -Kingle,' y
among children only subordinate TO
Santa Claus as a designation for that
obese old pers0nage who, in their phil
osophy, etsnds far beyond king or
kaiser. This term is derived from
Christ -kindIien, (cOntraeted Christ
Eindell the children firmly rely TO
adorn their Christmas trees. The
very expressive and extremely popu-
lar epithet sloafer'' is derived from
EGzfer, meaning, literally, "a runner" )"
and applied By the steady and phleg-
matte Germans TO people who are ir-
regular and unsettled in their mode Of
life. Noodle" as q name for the
dumplings added to soup in districts
where German cookery is popular,
comes from the German name nudsl,
properly called, veFmicelli.n
ilRuck-bser.V now a successful rival
Of traditional lager, takes its nsme
from the German bOck bier +; book be-
ing German for Hgoat,u the identical
rampant animal whose efiigy we see
IN beer saloon windows. 'iSheenbeer"
German skea-5ier, from shenben, to
pour Out) was so called because this
mild beverage is put on draught soon
after Il is made. The use Of the word
'fplunoer" in the sense Of baggage,
though by no means so general among
ue as A1r. Coleridge would seem to
have imagined, is very extensive in
the West, and not uncommon at the
South. photographers have attribut-
ed this Americanism also to the Teu-
tonic portion Of the population, deriv-
ing It from lOIltdera, to carry of.
The expressions 'Arightn and ''left
bower" Borrowed from the game Of
euchre and used in great variety of
senses, retain the sound OF the Ger
man bauer or 6duermdn, q peasant I;
and It Is characteristic Of modern Ger
many that, IN shis game Of to-day,
they have given the peasant e place
higher than that Of the king. The
word sbummer," now applied TO one
who may be described as "loafer on
the make has long been very popu-
lar in the large cities; and IL anything
was necessary to familiarize the rest
Of the country with its use, the notO-
riety which II acquired during Sher-
man campaign in Georgia would have
been sufficient 70 do 50.
II was originally restricted in mean
ing to the description Of persons who
90 about without any particular aim,
and make practice Of blowing" the
ocqltisifiUeness sense having been OBJ
tanned gradually. This primary sig
nifcatiOn Is Synonymous with that of
the common German term bUlfHlnlJer.
which only differs from Idatfer by be-
ing generally bestowed In a more good
natured and lees contemptuous way I;
and It is extremely probable that
.sbummefp Is the American form Of
this Teutonic word.-P0tndnl's.

Grand East

Wherever the superior body Of the
Masonic institution Is situated, that
place is called the Grand East Grand
Orient)i London, York, Dublin, Edin-
burgh, Paris, Vienna, and Amsterdam
are all Grand Easts in Masonic Ian
guage. Every State in America has
a Grand East, and every other place
where there is q governing Grand
Lodge is called by MasOns the Grand
East. The East with Masons has q
peculiar meaning. It is well known
that the sciences first rose in the East,
and that the resplendent orb Of light
from that quarter prOclaims the glory
Of the day. "And behold the glory
Of the God Of Israel came from the
way of the East, and his voice was
like the noise of many waters; the
earth shined with his glory. The
East Gate shall be shut; it shall not
be opened; and no man shall enter it,
because the Glory Of the God OF Is
rael has entered by it. It is the
Prince. ."-DdlchO.

Our neighbor has a bright little boy
of some five or six years, whose know
ledge of language is mature.
Hearing his auntie talking one day
about her pew at the church the little
fellow wished TO know what pew
was, and was informed that it was q
seat.
A few days afterward Tommy came
in from a turn of sliding down on the
cellar door and by his peculiar move
ments in backing around the room
and always presenting front face to
his auntie, attracted her attention.
"Why, Tommy, what ails you
What makes you keep backing around
in that manner?" inquired the lady.
"Why, auntie, was just sliding
down on the cellar door, just; and
I tored a great big hole in the pew OF
