Saving Money.

There is, perhaps, no one in this world
more to be pitied than the poor mantle
man who has got into the habit of saving
until he saves from sheer delight in seeing
his wealth increase, and of counting every
dollar of expenditure as though its loss was
something that could never be repaired.
Yet it is the duty of every poor man to save
something. The possession of few dollars
often makes all the difference between hap
piness and misery, and no man, especially
with family dependent upon him, can be
truly independent unless he has few dol
lars 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
considerable extent, Independent of the ca
prices of employers and of the common vicis.
STUDIES 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 crafty him. Every workingman ought
to have an account in savings bank, and
onouiu aoo W III every week uurlng winch ne
has full employment, even if the addition is
but dollar at a time. If he does this be
will soon find the dollars growing into tens,
and these tens into hundreds, and in little
time will be in possession of sum which is
constantly yielding an addition to his income
which secures him reserve fund whenever
one is needed, and which will enable him
to do many things, which, without little
money he would be powerless to do.

AFTER CROSSING LEWIS CREEK Bird GE
Having recently leased the above Stables, late
ly occupied by Ed. Burke, and having supplied
them with every adjunct to complete livery,
we are now prepared to furnish our friends, and
the public generally, with anything they may
need in that line.
Our horses are young, fresh, fast, and
well broken; our Buggies, Carriages &C., new
and of the latest style, and our drivers Sc
lected with special reference to the comfort and
safety of our patrons.
Pleasure parties accommodated at all hours
with single OF double buggies, riding horses, for
ladies and gentlemen, Carriages, Spring wagons
&c. Parties wishing to visit Weyer's Cave
would do well to give US call.
Horses fed by the day, month or year, at usual
rates.
Special attention given to the sale of stock.
We still occupy the extensive stabling at the
old National Stable ground, where our friends
(if they find it more convenient to call) can be
accommodated as heretofore.
Hoping, by strict attention to our own bust
ness to merit continuance Of the favor shown
US in other places, respectfully solicit share
of the public patronage. decS-tf.

GEMS OF THOUGHT "A day of idleness
tires more than week of work.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with
the mind.
Genius has limits virtue has none, eve
ry one pure aad good can become purer and
better still.
A promise should be given with caution
and kept with care. 1t should be made with
the heart and remembered by the head.
There are men who by consulting only
their own incliuations, have forgotten that
others have claim to the same Difference.
Truthfulness is corner stone in character;
and if it be not firmly laid in youth, there
will always be a weak spot in the foundation.
Memory is patient camel, bearing huge
burdens over life's sandy desert. Intuition
is bird Of paradise, drinking in the aroma
of celestial flowers.
Every human creature is sensible to some
infrmities of temper, which it should be his
care to correct and subdue, particularly in
the early period of life.

A LESSON FOR GIRLs.-An intelligent
gentleman of fortune, visiting country vii.
lage in Maine, not far from Bangor, was
Hospitality entertained and lodged by gen.
tleman having three daughters. Two of
these, in rich dresses, entertained the dis
tinguished stranger in the parlor, while one
kept herself in the kitchen assisting her
mother in preparing the food and setting
the table for tea, and after supper in doing
the work until it was finally completed,
when she also joined her sisters in the par
Tor for the remainder Of the evening The
next morning the same daughter was again
in the kitchen, while the others were in the
parlor. The gentleman, like Franklin, pos
sessed discriminating mind, was close
observer Of the habits Of the daughters, and
watched an opportunity to whisper some
thing in the ear Of the industrious one. and
then left for time, but revisited the same
family, and in about year the young lady
of the kitchen was con veyed to Boston the
wife of the same gentleman visitor, where
she now resides in an elegant mansion.

Poetry.
The VoiceIess.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

We count the broken Tyres that rest
Where the sweet wailing singers slumber,
But DER their silent sisters breast
And wild flowers who will stoop to number
few may touch the magic string,
A noisy fame be proud to win them;
Alas, for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them.
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone,
Where songs have told their sad hearts story
Weep for the voiceless who have known
The cross without the crown of glory!
Not where Leucadian breezes sleep
O'er Sappho's memory-haunted pillow,
But the glistening night dews weep
Der nameless sorrows church-yard willow.
0 hearts that break and give no sign,
Save whitening lips and faded tresses,
Till death pours out the cordial wine,
Slow dropping from misery's crushing presses.
IF singing breath or echoing chord
To overy hidden pang were given,
What endless melodies were poured,
AS sad as earth. as sweet as heaven s-

The COMPASS FLowER.-In the great
Prairies of the Far West there grows a lit
tie flower called 'the compass plant You
have seen compass, have you not, with its
needle always pointing northward.
Like the needle of the compass, the flow
er of this little plant turns always to the
north, never failing to guide the traveller
safely home. No matter how thick the
clouds may be, if he can but find one little
compass flower he will be sure to find bis
way.
Do you think it very nice-this little, ST.
lent pretty guide =? think SO and l think
it very nice that you and I have compass
flower, too; not just like the one I have been
telling you about, to be sure, but better
one-better because we have it always with
us, while it guides us just as truly.
We don't call it "compass.aower. We
call it conscience" But then it tells US
very surely which way to 60. Then, if we
go where it guides, our little friendly flow
er smilingly mods its approval, and some
how makes us quite happy; and go, If we
60 away from where it points, the little flow
er will droop, and we are sad.
Let us take good care of conscience, our
compass flower, my little friends, that it may
not be hurt and die, and so we lose our
faithful guide that ever points to the right
way-the way our heavenly Father wishes
US to walk in,-Neap York Observer.
