THE RoAD TO WEALTH.-There be those
who inherit, or by some sudden stroke OF
good fortune, acquire riches, but almost
universally speaking, the difference be-
tween the wealthy man and the poor man
represents the difference between the per-
son who saves and the person who spends
as he goes along. 1t is not au increase of
salary or an extension Of business relations
that secures a competence, but the ad-
hered to determination to economic, TO
incur no unnecessary expenditures, and to
lay by something of each weeks gains.
So long as people increase their outgoes in
proportion to the Increase of their incomes,
they are no nearer that condition Of inde-
pendence which is desirable for all to at
tain. The present growing fondness for
osteatation and display operates as di-
rect barrier to frugality. Some one has
said that life in the United States has be-
come a struggle for social position ; that
whereas in olden countries the lines Of
demarcation are so closely drawn by blood,
caste. etc, as to repTess this ambition,
here every one has an opportunity TO
climb the social ladder, and may aspire
with confidence to any round. There Is
much truth in this observation, and the
very fact that it so presents d constant
temptation to persons to scatter their du-
cats in keeping up appearances and IN
making what is vulgarly termed spread
Those who yield to this temptation with
out a fortune to draw upon, generally ac-
quire extravagant habits which always
keep them financially under the weather
There are Others who, arguing that the
true theory Of life Is to live while we
live invariably spend close up to their
incomes. An impecunious old age Is gen
orally in store for such persons
1t Is in little things that the money
takes its flight The failure to stop the
little leaks Is what prevents financial res
ervoirs from ever filling. \ New Yorker
now a wealthy man-moved out to an ad-
Joining village some fifteen years since.
While his neighbors, during that time,
have generally sent their bundles to and
fro by express, he has carried his own.
In this manner he computes that he has
saved twenty-five hundred dollars during
the fifteen years. And this Is but one of
very many ways in which individuals can
save their pennies OF course, those who
propose to take life easy and DO not
trouble themselves about the future, do
not care for any suggestions Of this char
acter But those who aim to secure
for their declining years, can
not be too mindful Of the fact that there
is no royal road to wealth, and that no
matter what their position or income, fru-
gality and economy are essential for the
attainment of that competeuee.-Hearth

the company of his brother to New York
on his way home. Having some hours to
spend in the city prior to the sailing of the
Stonington steamer, they took a saunter
around the streets to note the temptations
spread out for Christmas presents. A lady S
reticule hit the taste of the Boston BROTH
er and he determined to buy it to send it to
his sister-in-law in Pennsylvania. They
entered the store to make the purchase,
and nice Russia leather portomonnaie was
added as Christmas remembrance to Joe,
which was the name of the Pennsylvania
brother The proprietor said the names of
the parties who were to receive the gifts
could be put on the satehel and wallet at a
little expense or delay, and the suggestion
was hailed as an improvement on the value
of the articles. The names were written
out and handed to the proprietor of the
store, who res ,ked that he also owned
the same surna 5. This led to converse
tion, to explanation, and finally to the dis
covery that three long separated brothers
had then and there met face to face! 1t
would require an abler pen than ours to
describe the feelings entertained by the
trio.
We are permitted to explain things thus
far the third brother had been a little wild
in his youth, and had entered the service of
Queen Victoria, in which he had remained
during eleven years. His regiment had
been ordered to Canada, and, being desir-
Gus of tasting freedom, he had improved
chance of stepping over the line. For ff-
teen years past he had been in business in
New Y York, and has worldly success cores
ponding with that of his elder brothers.
This is our story. 1t has not the flavor
Of deeply exciting romance or free imagin-
alton, but it is true, and as wonderful as it
is veracious.-BoSton Times.

HINTS To NIGHT-wATCHERs- person
who is sick enough to need night-watchers
needs rest and quiet, and all the undis-
turbed rest he can get. If one or more
persons are in room reading, talking, or
whispering, this is impossible. There
should be no light burning in the room
unless it be very dim one, SO placed as
to be out Of sight of the patient. Kero-
sene oil should never be used in the sick
room. The attendant should quietly sit
or lie in the same room, or what is usually
better, in an adjoining room. so as to be
within call if anything is wanted. In ex-
treme cases, the attendant can frequently
step quietly to the bedside to see if the
patient is doing well. but all noise and
light should be carefully excluded 1t is
common practice to awaken patients
occasionally for fear they will sleep too
soundly. This should never be done.
Sleep is one of the greatest needs of the
sick, and there is no danger of their get
ting too much of it. All excavations
should be removed at once, and the air in
the room kept pure and sweet by thorough
ventilation.-Herald of Health

MARVELLOUS Cory OF THE BIBLE.-A
few years since, there was exhibited in
New York a most marvellous specimen-of
handwriting, it being no less than COM
plete copy of the Holy Bible on a surface
about the size of an ordinary mantle or
pier glass, the words of the same being SO
ingeniously arranged and grouped as to
form the representation of beautiful
temple, while at the same time not one word
is omitted, no sentence transposed, and the
several chapters follow each other in pro-
per order At first view the spectator
perceives only well-arranged architec-
tural drawing, delicate and exact, but on
a close examination (some parts requiring
the use Of a magnifying glass; every part
of the elevation, each window and door
way, each apparent line and curve of col
umn, cornce and everything
in short, about the picture, except perhaps
a slight shading, is resolved into distinct
and regular handwriting. This wonder
ful production was executed by Polish
gentleman by the the name of David
Davidson, who finished his task after two
years and seven months of constant labor
and application.

The danger of wearing false hair Is IL
lustrated in new and forcible way by the
recent experience OF 4 Massachusetts, dame.
Faucving that her natural charms re-
0uired artificial enhancement she innocent
ly purchased one of those mysterious and
tail-like appendages for the female head
known, we believe, by the technical name
of =" switches" 1t was - switch equally
beautiful and becoming, and for brief
space all was hair and happiness. But
presently Madam began to feel an unpleas-
ant sensation about the throat every time
she assumed the foreign locks-in point of
fact. q choke. She would, in her own
striking and piscatorial language, get as
red as boiled lobster, and gasp like a
porpus, dreadful symptoms which disap-
peared as soon as the " switch = was re-
moved What was the mystery no mortal
could explain, so Madam, being a true
Boston woman, called Z" medium" and
the medium called a spirit from the
vastly deep. Then did this spirit unfold a
long and exclusive tale which, condensed,
was to the effect that " she was the woman
from whose head the hair had been cut,
lust after she was-hung and that a
choke would always attend the wearing of
that particular switch. Furthermore, this
instructive spirit observed that all false
hair retained more or less of the personal
ity of its original owner, and that this
was the cause of much insanity and many
criminal idiosyncracies in women. Which
is an explanation rather more startling
than lucid. Tribune.

causes that produce congestion of the lungs
are cold feet, tight clothing, cOstive bow
els, sitting still chilled after being warmed
with labor or rapid walk, going too sud-
denly from close, heated rooms into the
cold air, especially after speaking, and
sudden depressing news operating on the
blood. The causes of sudden death being
known, an avoidance of them may serve to
lengthen many valuable lives which would
otherwise be lost under the verdict of

posed to be inevitable and incurable, hence
many may not take the pains they would

CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.-Very few
of the sudden deaths which are said TO
arise from diseases of the heart do real
ly arise from that cause. To ascertain the
real origin of sudden deaths, experiments
have been tried in Europe, and reported to
a scientific congress held at Strasburg.
Sixty-six cases of sudden death were made
the subject of a thorough post naortena ex-
amanation in these only two were found
who had died from disease of the heart.
Nine of sixty-six had died from apoplexy,
while there were forty-six cases of conges-
ton of the lungs-that is, the lungs were
so full of blood they could not work, there
not being room enough for sufficient
quantity of air to enter to support life, The

LECTURER vs.. LAUNDREss.-A woman
has the same right to be lecturer that
she has to be a laundress. l will confess,
says Gail Hamilton in the Independent,
that all my prejudices and all my instincts
were against it. But, when for the first
time I saw an audience gathered to listen
to q woman, the right and reason of the
thing rose up so strongly that instinct and
prejudice were forced to give way. Here
a company of respectable, well-behaved
men and women, come together for no ma
terial good, but for mental improvement or
amusement. Woman's sphere, the most
conservative admit, is pre-eminently the
sphere of influence and surely is far more
temininely occupied when she stands, well
dressed, erect, graceful, dignifed and self
possessed, before a respectful assemblage,
and speaks to them
High thoughts, and honorable words,
And cOurtliness, and the desire of fame,
And love Of truth,
than she is in a shabby gown, with the
skirt upturned around the waist sleeves
pinned above hard red elbows thin hair
untastefully punched on the back of her
head coarse shoes, and no collar bend
Ing over her wash-tub or her cooking-stove;
flying from broom to boiler all womanly
leisure and repose chased away by the
hard requirements of life, and only a
glimpse of the woman shining now and
then through the dreary crust of the
drudge. Indeed, the vocations of lectur-
ers may come peculiarly within woman's
sphere for her work is work upon mind.
upon soul, upon heart. 1t is hers espec-
tally to teach, to entertain, to soften, to
refine and the more persons who can be
brought under her influence the better.

My position as a senator was Su1 gcnerls.
While other senators represented only the
constituents of their respective states,

object which affected my race from Maine

Der of persons who annually throng the

ences with them at the Capitol, for the sole
purpose of securing positions for them
selves or friends. Is it not strange that
so many men are ready to immediate them
selves upon the altar of their country. l

who exhibited an absorbing interest in the
colored senator and, after many protesta-
