Saving.

A man is very apt to deceive himself into
an idea that he cannot save, and that it is
OF no use attempting it. He ceHvinces
himself that his income is little enough for
present necessities, and puts off the hope
of accumulation, if he forms it at all, to
that happy period when he shall be in some
what better circumstances. His circum-
stances do, perhaps, improve; but his
wants have extended as much and still the
time for saving is far ahead. Thus he goes
on and on, resolving and re-resolviug, until
he is at last surprised by some sudden ca
lamity which deprives him even of his ordi-
nary earnings, OF by death, which cruelty
cuts him off in the very midst of the best
intentions in the world. Did any man, we
would ask, ever experience falling off in
his income, even to SO small an amount as
a few dollars i'll week? Many answer,
they have. Did they continue to live at
that reduced rate? They reply, we did SO
we were compelled to dc it, Very well
and pray, what is the difference between
being compelled to live a few dollars a week
cheaper, and compelling yourself to DO it?
Or suppose stationary wages and a rising
produce market. Did you not find that.
though bread rose penny loaf. and other
provisions i'll proportion, you still centrived
to make your income procure something
like the usual exhibition of victualso You
answer, yes. And where, l would ask. is
the difference between spending small
extra sum upon certain articles of food,
and laying it by for accumulation, suppos-
ing it not to be SO needed? 1t is clear that
if you had the fortitude and strength of
character to make the saving as much a
matter OF conf ulsion as the other circum-
stances are. Il would save. You have
therefore, no cyruse to present for your not
saving, except at you are too weak-minded
to abstain fro using money which is in
your power.

Shadows.

When | see the long wild brers
Waving i'll the winds like fires,
See the green skirts of the naples
Barred with scarlet and with gold,
See the suntiower, heavy-hearted,
Shadows then from days departed
Come and with their tender trembles
Wrap my bosom, fold on fold
l can hear sweet invitations
Through the sobbing, sad vibrations
OF the winds that follow. follow,
AS from self | seek to fly
Come up hither. come up hither.
Leave the rough and rainy weather.
Come up where the royal roses
Never fade and never die,
Twas when May was blushins, blooming,
Brown bee, bluebirds, singing, humming,
That we built and walled our chamber
With the emerald of the leaves:
Made our bed of ycllew. moses,
Soft as pile of silken tlosses,
Dreamed our dreams i'll dewy brightnes.
Radiant like the merns and ewes.
And it was when woods were cleaning.
And when clouds were wildly streaming
Gray and lumber white and amber.
Streaming in the north wind breath.
That my little rese-mouthed blossom
Fell and faded on my bosom.
Cankered by the coming coldnesS,
Blighted by the frosts of death.
Therefore when see the shadows.
Drifting in across the meadows,
See the troops of summer wild birds
Flying from us, cloud on cloud.
Memory with that May-time fingers,
And seem to feel the fingers
OF my lost and lovely darling
Wrap my heart up in her shroud.

A printer-yet for all his sometimes dis
sipated and reckless habits, a worker at all

in close and unwholesome office, when
gay crowds are hurrying to the theatres ::
later still, when the street jewellers are gone
and the city sleeps, in the fresh air of the
morning, in the broad and gushing SUR
light some printer is at his case, with his
eternal and unvarying click click.
Click! Click. the polished types fall
into the stick; the mute integers are mar
shaled into line, and march forth as immor-

Had he said the lax manner in which ap-
prentices conduct themselves after being
taken in, lie would have hit the nail on the
head. And if he had said the eliminating

Let trades unions and masters combna-
tons be abolished, and, as says Mrs. Par
tington, 'let every man stand on his own
hsttom,' apply himself diligently to the
interests of his employer-not take two
"cuts where one should do-and strikes
will vanish with their cause.
Common sense asserts, and cooperation
proves this to be eminently true.
Good men would he paid according to
their value botches, reduced to their legt-
innate level, would realize that they had
mistaken their calling. and partake them
selves to pursuits more within reach of
their limited capacity or more congcnial to
their tastes.

A correspondent of the Londoa Times
thus writes of the destruction caused by
locusts in India:
"A splendid crop began to appear in
India when the locusts came. Every green
blade was eaten up in the northern dis
tricts. and in the centre and south half the
crops are gone. Have you ever seen an in
vasion of locusts? There is but one dcs-
Grip ion which rises equal to the truth
that of the Hebrew prophet Joel. Even he
does not hint at the sickening stencil caused
by the myriads of dead, which, however
richly fertilize the fields for the next sea-
sons crop. From the outer range of the
IIimalayas | have watched the clouds of
locusts spreading over the valley of the
Sutle.i, and leaving no vcgetsb bic life behind
them.
In another portion of the same cores
pondence the fact is mentioned that the
inhabitants have been obliged to remove
from their homes. leaving immense dis
trcts without single person, and that
thousands which circumstances prevented
from leaving are pcrishing from pcStilence
and starvation.

more than average achievements and, SO
far from benefitting really good men, "cost
more than they come to-" And
attn. That combinations of capital on
one side and labor unions on the other side
are kindred blunderS to be set right by a
more enlightened understanding of the
great fact that capital and labor are in the
same boat, and must pull together with
capital as stroke oar.

March Winds.

Listen, Kitty, my darling!
Here by the firesidc bright
Do you know what the winds are saying,
Abroad in the gusty night:
Moaning under the windows,
Like the voice of child that grieves
Making the NAPLES shiver,
And creak at the cottage caves?
Listen, Kitty. my darling,
The winds are singing song
OF the spring that is softly stealing
From SUMMER lands along;
The snow-drops smiles as they hear it
A smile for the springs sweet sake;
And the shy little violets whisper
"We hear! we are broad awake
No matter, Kitty, my darling.
Though the March winds drearily blow,
/ am sure that the daisies are stirring
Down under the sheltering snow,
In spite Of the clustering weather,
The crecus is budding again;
And the daffedils whisper together,
And wait for the April rain.

A others Death.

Few who have lost their q first and dear
est friend v ca,' read the following with I'M
moistened eyes:
Death comes IN unseught guest to every
beard. and at lt.s special bidding some be-
loved one goes forth to his mysterious
home.
Time and philosophy may teach rosigna-
ton unto hearts made desolate by his COM
ing: but they can never fill the vacancy
therein, when she that was our mother no
longer casts hallow about our darkened
hearth.
A mothers place-so loved, so worship
ped-once empty must be forever so. A
breast once banged by mothers death,
no medicine can reach with healing
No mind, however sacred; no heart. how
ever hardened, can forget the gentle being
whose suffering begot his life.
A mother is truly our guardian spirit
upon earth. Her goodness shields aud pro-
tects: she walks with our infancy, our
youth and mature age-ever sbeltering us
WIN hSi apSoi oiiiS love, anu eApldlliiS oul
many sins with her blessed prayers
And when our mother, with all her bur-
den of love, her angelic influence, hersaint-
ly care, ceases her beauteeus life, how much
We lose of home, Of happiness, of Heay
en-, no one can reckon; for our mother was
none but ours. and we only can know how
holy she was-how sacred her memory
must ever be.
But may we not borrow consolation from
the thought that our loss is Heavens gain:
that surely one angel watches over us,
erasing with rataful tears the records of
our sias and making easy our path to her.
with blessed and blessing prayers?
These thoughts of truth and beauty
are from the pen of the editor of the Yin
cehnes (lnd.) Gazette: "Spring is coming,
the season of flowers and sunshine Its re-
turn is heraleed not only by the singing of
the blue bird and rsbin, the green grass
springing up by the wayside, and the bud
ding poplars, but by the Democratic can
didates, who are springing up thicker than
poles in a hop-yard. The saloon keepers
rejoice and the loafers make merry The
old political stagers go forth into the lanes
and by-ways, and call out the veters-white,
red, and black-to take a drink"
