How 10 Live.

One Of the subjects talked and written
about good deal at the present time,
is-How 10 live Cheaply. Prices Of oil
the great staples OIL life arc high. Rents
are enormous. Fashions are exacting
Wants multiply, while resources dinin-
ish. How 10 make strap and buckle
meet, is the problem which presses on
hundreds Of housekeepers Of the middle
class. The difficulty in the problem is
to reconcile irreconcilables. The mid
lle.clas family genenllly wants I'LL the
fine things, all the style and display Of
wealthy neighbors The problem would
simplify itself atOncc, would the middle
class family cease trying to appear what
il il not, and be content TO appear and
he thought Just what i is. II is what is
done to keep up Appearances that de-
stroys the equilibrium between outgo
and income, and pakes life drudgery
aud yeXation. How to live cheaply is u
question easy enough to answer If one
will be content with cheap living.
Substitute comfort for show, Put con-
yenience in the place OF fashion. Study
simplicity. Refuse to be begiiled into
n style OF living above what Is required
by your position in society aud is insti.
] fed by your resources Set a fashion of
simplicity, neatness, prudence, aud in
responsiveness, which others will be glad
to follow and thank you Tor introducing.
Teach yourself to do without Il thousand
and one pretty and snowy things which
wealthy people purchase, and plide your
self being as happy without them rs
your rich neighbors are with them. Put
so much dignity, sincerity, kindness,
virtue, and love into your simple and IN.
expensive home that its members will
never miss the costly fripperies and
snowy adOnments OF fashion, and be
happier in the coy and comfortable mp.
phrtments than most Of their wealthy
neighbors are in their splendid establish.
ments, II does not follow that in order
to live cheaply, one must live meanly.
The great staples OF life are not costly,
Taste, refinement, good cheer, wit, and
even elegance are inexpensive. There is
no trouble about young people marrying
with no outfit but health and love and
honest purpose, provided they will prac-
tioe the thrift and prudence to which
their grandparents owed NIL their sue.
cess, and make their thought aud love
supply what they lack in the means OF
display. Those who begin life at the
top OF the ladder generally tumble of,
while those who begin at the foot acquire
steadiness, courage, aud strength Of arm
and will us they rise.-Golien ig,.

The Olden Things.

As we grow older, says Oliver Wendell
Holmes, we think more and moro Of old
penons and OF old things aud places As
to old persons. it seemed as il we never
knew how much they had to tell until we
are old ourselves and they have been gone
twenty or thirty years. Once in a while
we come upon some survivor of his or her
generation that we have overlooked, and
feel MS il We had recovered one Of the lost
books of Liyy or fshed up the golden
candlestick from the ooze OF the Tiber.
So 1t was the other day after my reminis
cences OF the old gambrel-roofed house
and its visitors. They found IN echo in
the recollections Of one Of the brightest
and liveliest Of my suburban friends,
whose memory is exact about everything
except her own age, which, there can be
no doubt, she makes out a score or two
Of years more than it really is, Still she
was old enough to touch some lights-and
shadow OF two-into the potrnits l had
drawn, which made me wish that she and
not had been the artist who sketched
the pictures. Among the lesser regrets
that mingle with grayer SORROWS for the
friends OF an earlier generation we have
lost, are our omissions to ask them so
many questions they could have answered
so easily, and wonld have heen so pleased
to be asked. There / say TO myself
sometimes, in IN absent mood, ] must
ask her about that. But she Of whom ]
am now thinking has long been beyond
the reach Of any earthly questioning, and
1 sign to think how easily ! could have
learned some fact which / should have
been happy to have transmitted with
pious care to those who are to come after
me. How many times have ! heard her
quote the line about blessings frightening
us they take their flight, and how truO it
proves in many little ways that one never
thinks OF until it is too late !
