Young Wen. Save Part Of Your
Income.

Again AMI again we urge upor
al young men Ebo are Just start
ing in life 70 make il an inTariabl'
rule 70 lay aside certain portion
Of their incorne, Whatever that 10.
come may be.
E1trsVagspt expenditure occa-
zion q very large majority Of the
sGEsrings Of great majority Ot
people. And eItravsgaDce for one
person NAV be very extrsvsgan'
for another. EEpendi;ures-no
matter bow small in themselves
they may be-are always extravs-
giant when they come fully up IN
the entire amount Of 8 persons
whole income.
The mode Of living is almost en-
tirely a matter Of habit. II j. just
a. easy 70 get along on three
foorths Of your income-wha'ever
the amount Of il may be-as on
the whole Of it. If you only think
20. AMI restrict your expenditures
accordingly. A young man who
afterwards became one OF the
wealthiest merchants in Philadel-
phia, began housekeeping on a SAL
airy OF three hundred dollars year,
but he laid mp part OF that three
hundred dollars, and he made il a
rule Of bis life never TO increase
his expenses so fast as his income
increased.
The thousand inconvenience OF
debt embarrassment and depen-
dence may all be avoided by a firm
and undertaking adherence to this
rule.
One great aid in pursuing the
course we have recommended will
be found in keeping an accurate
account of all receipts and expsnd-
itures. BY frequent reference to
this Won will see just what you can
afford TO cxpend, without encrosch-
ing or your rule; and you will see
what Of your expenditures you can
most conveniently curtail or cut cff
entirely.
There is q great deal, too, in re-
Election and foresight, in the ex-
penditnre Of your money. 1t is
very common remark that one per-
son will make the same amount go
twice as far as a. the other. This
is owing to the employment Of
greater judgement and prudence
in buying. Almost any amount of
money can be thrown away and
scarce anything obtained for it,
by thoughtless, careless spendrift.
We despise skinHints. Bot
economy and meanness are by no
means identical. On the contrary,
as is easy for any one to see, an
unselfish, judicious economy
wise saving-furnisbes the means
not only Of independence, but Of
benevolence and generosity also.
