The Habit.of Saving.


economy to nu czleut uuhoard Otiu more
frugal countries, aud We must always cat
drink aud be clothed with tho best the
market affords. There is no economy 10
dcpriving ourselves Of aa abundant supply
Of nOurishins food, decent raimout aud
healthrul shelter, but this affords no ex'
cusc for the prevalent sin Of waste nor
does it Justify spending hard won wages
upon expensive delicacies, unnecessarily
large,babitation, or costly tribes. There
is far too slAyish subservienCy to fashion
among all classes. Economy in this re-
spect would not only save money, but tend
to create q much. needed Independence,
both in dress and jn our whole manner Of
life. ~
The only absolutely certain way OF in'
culcating habits Of cIOnomy is to begin
with the children and accustOm them to
solf.control aud selF.deninl by saving a
portion Of their pockct.money or the earn
ings Of odd minutes, There will be even
a greater necessity for economy in tbP next
generation than in this, since now the
bountoous gifts Of nature ore being very
lavishly drawn upon, and our successors
are likely to live under narrower condi-
tiOns than We do.
STAND FAST. 1t is a hard thing for a
boy or a young man to hold steadily on
the right way when all around bin are
going in the other. It may seem TO be
useless, except as trial Of bis own pria'
ciples, for him to stand fastin the hour of
but silent influence goes
out from such 40 example more powerful
than that Of many sermons.
A young man in the army used often to
be urged to drink, but always answered
."No" firmly yet civiIly, This irritated
some and provoked others to ridiculo' and
once be was asked to give reason for such
,'uusoldierly conduct"
