HOW TO SAVE.

The way to save is TO begin with lit
tie matters, and begin at once. No
one ever made his way from poverty to
riches who scorned economy in small
things, and could not comprehend the
value OF a single cent. The poor man
who would get ahead pecuniarily must
save cent after cent-one at a time, If
he can do no more till he gets hun.
drcd of them, and so has dollar, is a
wise and noble thing for him to do.
Having thus actually saved his first
dollar, he will have acquired with it a
power Of selflenial and tcnacity of
purpose which will enable him to save
one dollar after another until he gets
hundred; and then he can save on IN
definitely, and become Independent In
fortune.
"Buf," says some one who has lived
all his life without saving, GLOW am l
TO save. My habits are fixed, How
can learn to lay by something for old
age" You must do as to money mat
tcrs what certain ancient school Of
philosophers did as TO morals. These
old sages used every night, to review
their actions Of the day, and see what
they ought not to have done that they
had done, and what they might have
done better of things which it was ne
cesSary for them to do. So too, must
YOU every night review the action OF
the day. and see what you have spent
that you ought not to have spent, and
how YOU might have got more econom-
icllly what it was necessary for You
TO obtain. Amy one who faithfully
makes such review of his expendi-
lures will be apt to discover many OPP
portuni,ies for retrenchment and reform;
and then, if he will, he can at once be-
gin to save, and may acquire Hconomi-
cal habits which will secure his future
prosperity.
