in conversation, nor adva1-ves an original

pick up the words which others let slip in a
running talk, or to check their impetuosity, that
he may point out to them their missteps. Had
he lived in the days of Solomon he would have
aattered the royal sage with an intmation that
some of his proverbs were but plagiarisms or,
had he been a contemporary of Solomon's faith
er, would have felt himself bound to give the
slayer of Goliath some lessons on the use of the
sling, and limited to the sweet singer of Israel
his private opinion, that the shepherd bard did
not perfectly understand the use of the harp.

his ittle than to spend it upon tailor or Ca
terer. AS soon as he begins to confuse the means
with the end, reason should demonstrate that the
present has its demands as we'll as the future has
its exigencies. So, when long habits of selfpam-
pering have taught one 10 think that he must
have everything he wants, it is good to learn to
deny himself. 1t is odd to see the tricks and de-
ception we play upon ourselves. We judge of
needs by our habits. ave used to pay so much
for our dinner )" "we used 10 go to such place
for our summer vacation !" whether we need to
get such dinner, or to go TO such hotel, does
not occur to u.s. The great virtue of economy,
we may remark, is to economize to-day and not
tomorrow, for in the future virtue looks attrac-
tive, and then it has none of those prosac diff
cuties which beset it just now. 1t makes not
the least difference about the triviality of the
economy. Truth and wisdom are the qualities
which ennoble any action they may touch, how
ever sordid and common these actions may seem

small occupation. The poor CLEANER Of his bread
from the sterile Scottish glebe might BE- pardoned
that weakness and despair, if anybody could
1t was the apparent hopelesSness of making head

bors not sense that it was mean and inferior.
He must have admired their stern courage, their
heroic poverty His shiftlessness was not due to
tne possession of genius, but to his selfindugence
and rresolution. We who have milder difficult
ties and more lenient fortunes, are without the ex-
cnse of his unhappy circumstances, and must not
make the mistake of atrbuting that to his greater
quality which is really due to those human weak
nessesA which he shared in common with his kind.
Ths1truth is that economy is always a necessa-
ry and noble quality; is often a heroic one. 1t
is es pecialy fine in those men who care little for
money in itself. Thrift may become passion,
