COMMENCE TO SAyE.--Among the
good resolves formed on the opening
of the New Year, none exceed In
subsequent advantages the expert
ment Of the clerk, the mechanic, the
storekerper or the sewing girl, In
trust worthy savings fund. Accus-
toned, as many are, to spending
their earnings even befofe@they are
received, the figures of savings
banks In calculating the profits of
their depositurs mast surprise them
greatly. Let them take advantage
of the season and be gratified with u
substantial New Years present in
1872. BY table of one institution
it appears that If a mechanic or
clerk saves only q cents per day
from the time he is stwenty-one until
he isthree score and ten, the aggrc-
gate, with interest, will amount To
$1,000; and daily saving OF 27a cts.
reaches tile important sum of S2D, 900.
A six pence saved daily will provide
fund of neatly S7,000-sufilcient To
purchase good farm There are
few employees who cannot save daily
by abstaining from even the extrav-
ngant use OF cigers, tobacco, liquor.
ETC., twice or ten times the amount OF
six pence pieces. Every person
should provide for old age, aud the
man in business who can lay by q
dollar day, will eventually lind
himself possessed Of over $lO0 900.

prettiest young fellow living. You
can sea that his broad breast In

ANNA Dickinson i'm her lecture on
MEMS Rights" describes q CO.
quette us "a woman who has lie on
her lips. a lie in her face, lie In her
dress" and lectures the young men
for teaching that such n woman IL
more "womanly" than the girl who
mends her clothes aud spends her
time over a kitchen range. Anna
also corrects the popular idea of the
relative intensity of affection In the
sexes. and says that "A man has
different heart from that OF woman.
A woman's hearC may break, but
she could gather up the skeins and
make 1T sound, she may go about
with sore heart; but take man
and let his heart be wounded by u
woman, he loses his faith IN weman-
hood, in humanity, and In God !"
She also says that "the chief occu-
patton Of men and women IL to de-
ceive each other" and we suppose
she concludes that the game Is pret-
ty successful, as she refers to the fact
that for every five marriages in iIli-
Bois there was one divorce, and IN
Massachusetts alone. sixteen hundred
divorce suits are pending. Her cure
for IL seems to be that men shall

than housekeepers. Educate them

makers.
