GOOD ADVICE,

In these times of business depres-
sion and consequent stringency in
the money market, the financial stu
alton can be improved if every one
will pay promptly his little bills
The Philadelphia Ledger puts it in
this way +;
However small the amount, pay it
at once the party to whom it is due
may be waiting for it to enable him
to make up the requisite amount to
pay much larger sum. There is
estimating the good that may re-
suit from the payment of a single
dollar.
As often as once in a week every
one mourning little debts should over
haul his accounts and make special
efforts to pay all, or as mauy Of them
as possible. No one should postpone
payment from mere Indifference.
Nothing will SO soon and so effect
ually remedy difficulties experienced
from want of currency as this, and
it is remedy that will cost little of
effort and no inconvenience. On
the contrary, there will follow the
IiveIiest satisfaction to all, to those
who pay as well as to those who re-
ceivc. Reader, look to it in your
own case.

A CHEERFUL couNrHNANcE.

We once heard a young lady say
to another: your countenance to
me is like the shining of the sun, for
it always gladdens me with a cheer
full look"
A merry or cheerful countenance
was one of the things which Jeremy
Taylor said his enemies and perse-
cutors could not take away from
him. There are some who spend
their lives as if shut up ina dun
geon. Everything is dark, gloomy
and forbidding. They mourn from
day to day that they have SO little,
and are in constant fear lest what
they have will escape out of their
hands. They always look upon the
dark side, and can never enjoy the
good Of the present for fear of the
evil that is to come. This is not
piety. True religion makes the
heart feel glad and when its noble
principles are felt and exercised,
men will be happy in spite of them
selves.
The industrious bee does not com
plain that there are so many pois-
onous flowers and thorny branches
in his road, but buzzes on, gath
ering the honey where he can find it.
There are enough in this word to
about and find fault with
if we have disposition. We travel
often in hard and uneven road
but, with a cheerful spirit, and a
heart to praise Heaven for its MGR
cies, we may walk therein with great
comfort, and come to the end Of our
journey in peace.

THE OHIO E1EcrToN.

The St. Louis Times says Of the
Ohio election: 1t were better for the
Republican press to look at the re-
suit of the Ohio election withoutsmag-
nifying glasses to aid In their self
deception. For it is as true as the
inscription on the wall at Balshazar's
feast, that the doom and the ruin Of
the party of accidents is sealed, and
the warning comes, as all notices of
danger do come through symptoms
that even the deaf may know. 1t is
not only the Republicans Of Ohio
who have been beaten; Republican
ism itself has received blow that
no simpering excuses can ward off,
no apologies can explain, Isis a
knock>down blow, from which no
skill can recover it.

A NEW class Of claims will come
before Congress this winter. Dur
ing the rebellion in 1868, General
Burnside impressed in Kentucky
about eight thousand slaves to work
on military roads, &c. Some Of the
owners--all it is supposed who were
loyal to The United States--were
compensated at the time of inn
pressment; and now the remainder,
or a large number of them are press
ing their claims upon the Govern
mient. II is estimated that they
amount in the aggregate to some
thing ever ~, 900, 900.

HOW TO KEEP A SITUATION

Lay it down as foundation rule
that you will be ffaithful in that
which is least" Pick up the loose
nails, bits Of Irvine, clean wrapping
paper, and put them ia their places.
Be ready to throw in an odd half
hour or hours time, when it will be
an accommodation, aud don't seem
to make merit of it. Do it hear
tily. Though not word be said,
be sure your employer will make a
note of it. Make yourself indispsn-
sible to him, and he will lose many
of the opposite kind before he will
part with yon. These young men
who watch the time to see the very
second their working hour is up, who
leave, no matter what state the work
may be in, at precisely the instant,
who calculate the extra amount they
can slight their work and yet not get
reproved, who are lavish Of their en-
ployer's goods will always be first to
receive notice when times are dull,
and their services are no longer re-
quired. Remember you are not a
slave, then serve your employer as a
friend ia duo time he will be true
friend to you.

But time is fitting by
Instead of waiting don't be fooled:
The old man may not die.
And if he should the chances are
His will may be. mislaid,
Or you cut off without a cent
So go and learn trade.

THE BACHELOR.

Where is there more pitable OBJ
ject on earth than man who has no
amiable woman interested in his well
fare How dismal does his desolate
room appear when he comes home
at night weary and hungry, and sees
a barren table and lonely pillow,
which looks like the white urn of
every earthly enjoyment. See the
old bachelor in theldark afternoon of
life, when his heart is sinking to its
sunderance! Not solitary memory
CLEANS over his opening grave -
No weeping wife to bend like COM
forting angel over his dying pillow,
and wipe the death damp from his
brow! No fond daughter to draw
his chilly hand into the soft press ure
of hers, and warm his icy blood with
reviving fires Of availing affection
No manly boy to link his breaking
name with the golden chain of hon.
orable society, and bind his history
in the vast volumes of the world he
is leaving foreverl He has eaten
and drank, and died, and earth is
glad she's got rid of him, for ho had
little else to do than to cram his soul
into the circumference of a sixpence;
and no human being save his wash
erwoman will breathe sight at his
funeral.

PUr THIS IN Your SCRAP Book.
Ladies should remember that while
articles Of jowelry may of them>
selves be beautiful, they do not al
ways enhance the beauty of the wear
ers. Having observed the earring,
the eye insensibly wanders to the
ear from which it depends, and tie
majority of ears are not pretty. So
a shadowy ring often informs us that
the owner has very ugly ears. The
same is true Of bracelets; we learn
by them how few pretty round wrists
are among us. The sensation caused
by diamond ring on a hand whose
owner bites her nails, aud ignores
nail brushes, is disagreeable, but the
admiratian called forth by a we'll
cared hand is Undesirable.

The last Congress was probably
the most liberal of modern times -
What it did for itself in the way of
voting extra pay is already a matter
of history. Now it turns out that
this same Congress actually exceed
ed the estimate of the Executive De-
partments by more than eleven mil
lions of appropriation. That is to
say, the Departments, the chiefs of
which always ask for more than they
expect to get, really got more than
they asked for. This is generosity
on the largest scale.

WITH YOUR MIGHT

You cannot pay too careful atten-
ton to business if YOU want to sue
coed, that il, 1t Is the result of prac-
tical, everyday experience, that
steady attention to matters of detail
lies at the roo. Of human progress,
and that diligence, above all, is the
mother of good luck. Accuracy,
also, is of much importance, and an
invariabIe mark Of good training in
a man-accuracy IN observation, ac-
curacy in the transaction Of affairs.
What is done in business must bo
well done, for it is better to accom-
plish small amount of work than
to half do times as much. Yet, in
business affairs, it is the manner in
which even small matters are trans
acted that often decides men for or
against you. With virtue, capacity
aud good conduct in other respects
the person who is habitually inaccu,
rate cannot be trusted his work has
to be gone over again, and he thus
causes endless annoyance, vexation,
and trouble. 1tT

a NIGHT PICTURE.

1t is night now, and here is home
Gathered under the quiet root, ell
ders and children are alike at rest.
In the midst Of great peace and
calm, the stars look out from the
heavens. The silence is peopled
with the past sorrowfuI remorse
for aims and shortcomings, memories
of passionate joys and griefs rise out
Of their graves, both now alike calm
and sad. Eyes, as | shut mine,
look at me, that have long ceased to
shine. The town and fair landscape
sleep under the starlight wreathed
in the Autumn mist. Twinkling
among the houses, light keeps
watch, here and there, in what may
be a sick -chamber or TIVE. The
clock tolls sweetly in the silent air.
Here is night and rest. An awful
sense Of thanks makes the heart
swell and the head bow, as / pass to
my room through the sleeping house,
and feel as though hushed blessing
were upon it.-Ihacker0y.

of extravagant costIiness may cover
its floors; pictures of the rarest mer-

may abound with dainties the most
luxurious, its every ordering may be
complete, but yet it will not be a
home /; to make it such there must
be a change Of inmates.
