We don't like stingiuess. We don't
like economy, when it comes down 10
rags and starvation. We have no
sympathy with the notion that poor
man should hitch himself to a post
and stand still, while the rest of the
world moves forward. 1t is no mans
duty to deny himself every amuses
meht, every luxury, every recreation,
every comfort, that he may get rich.
1t is no mans duty to make an ice
berg of himself, to shut his ewes and
ears to the suaerings of his fellows,
and deny himself the enjoyment that
results from generous actions, merely
that he may hoard wealth for his heirs
to quarrel about. But there is an
economy which is every mans duty,
and which is especially commendable
in the man who struggles with poverty
an economy which is consistant with
happiness, and which must be practic.
ed II the poor man would secure indie
Pendence. 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, wo admit, and should never
be taken into the account in our judge
ment OF men, but competence should
always be secure, when it can be, bv
the practice ofeconomy and self.denial
to only a tolerable extent. 1t should
be secured, not SO much for others to
look upon, or to raise US in the estima-
ton of others, as to secure the con-
sciousnesa of Independence and the
constant satisfaction which, is derived
from its requirement and possession.

The Washington correspondent of the

good one OF the representative in the
lower house of congress from the
Second Arkansas district:
must tell you a story that is going
the rounds here now. You know that
when member of the house of renre,
sentatlyes wants page he elaps his
hands somewhat after the manner OF
applauding in a public meeting. 1t is
that when one Of the new members
from the south took his seat, as soon
as the opening prayer was concluded
he heard as usual, several members
calling for pages in the usual way.
when he turned to the gentleman next
to him, and said; "Well, | heard
nothing in that prayer to applaud, and
l think 1t is wrong to do so anyhow"
You must not let your subscribers in
Arkansas know that the Hon. o. p.
