SAVING Money,

The possession Of q few dollars often
makes all the difference between happiness
and misery, aud no man. especially withO
family dependent upon him, can bo truly
independent unless be has a few dollars
reserved for time Of need. While ex.
treme carelessnCss as to the expenditure Of
money will make rich man poor, q wise
economy will as certainly make a poor
man rich, or at least make him to a co.,
siderable eXtea! independent Of the capri
ces Of employers aud Of the common Vicis-
situdcs Of life. Nothing is moro import.
ant to poor man than the habit Of saving
something; but bis little hoard will soon
begin to grow at rate which will surprise
and crafty him. Every working man
ought to have an account at some savings
bank, and should add to it every week dur
ing which be has full employment, even if
the addition Is but dollar ata time. If
be does this, be will soon end the dollars
growing into tens, and these into hundreds,
and 10 little time he will beiu possession
Of a sum which is constantly yielding on
addition to bis income, which secures him
reserve fund whenever one is needed,
aud which will enable him to do many
things, which without a little money he
would be pOWerless to do.

A Girl who Never saw Young Man.
An old man who lives near st. Helena,
CAL, in a wild solitude, has very pretty
daughter, aged 10, who had never seen
a young man till her father took her to
San Francisco the other day to see the town
She was dressed up prettily, for ths 6rst
timo 10 hor life, and hOr silks and ribbons
aud the gay sights almost turned her
bead. But what most interested her was
that hitherto unknown boiug-the young
man. Every time Sho saw one shO would
FIX her eyes earnestly on him aud actually
made several attempts to get away from
the old mau, that she might cultivate the
acquaintance Of these young gentlemen,
so that be irSlly caught her and, led hor
by the hand, After be got on The boat for
Vallejo, on the hOmowurd trip, he felt
pretty safe and concluded to take drink. =
lie took several, and 10 bis absence the
daughter made the acquaintance OF two
Pprigbtly young men on tho boat, aud she
was so fascinated With malO society that
she made arrangements to fOrsake her old
father and go With them. She success
fully gave her father the slip when they
left the boat for the cars, aud The iufatuat-
ed girl was slowed between them in q
smoking car, But her father found her
and whirled her out Of that car 10 the live
licst manner, and kept bis hands Oq her
till they reached home, Hewill not dare
expose her to such peril again, and the
poor girl is destined to close confinement
out Of the world Of young men unless she
runs away.
