About saving.


!. There is, perhaps, no one in this
world more to be pitied than the poor
rnan-the man who has got into the
habit OF saving until he saves from
sheer delight in seeing his wealth in
crease, and of counting every dollar
OF expenditure as though its loss was
something that could never be repair
ed. Yet it is the duty Of every poor
man to save something. The possess
ion ofa few dollars often makes all
the difference between happiness and
misery, and no man, especially with
q family dependent upon him, can be
truly independent unless he has few
dollars reserved for the time of need.
While extreme carefulness as to the
expenditure of money will make =
rich man poor, a wise economy will
almost as certainly make poor man
rich, or at least make him to a consid-
cradle extent independent of the ca
prices of employers and of the COM
mon vicissitudes Of life. Nothing is
more important to the poor man than
the habit of saving something but his
little hoard will soon begin to grow
at rate which will surprise and graf
| ify him. Every workingman ought
to have an account i'll some savings
bank, and should add to il every week
during which he has full employment,
even il the addition is but dollar at
I a time. Ii he does this he will soon
find the dollars growing into tens, and
tthese tens into hundreds, and in lit
tie time will be in possession of sum
| which is constantly yielding an, addi-
! ton to his income, which secures him
a reserve fund whenever one is need
ed, and which will enable him to do
many things which, without little
money, he would be powerless to do.
