FOOD. WORK, AND SLEEP.

The things that a man most needs
in this world are food, work, and
sleep. He doesn't need riches, hons
ors, or office to live. lie needs so
ciety because he is made for it. He
must love and be loved his life and
happiness are promoted by compau
ionship mutual dependence and
counsel enlarge hope and stimulate
courage. Yet after all he lives if his
friends die. There is no grief, no
form of bereavment, but it has its
consolation. The best preserver Of
a mana life is cOntentment. Nor is
work destructive of strength. Men
look toward to rest, to life of ease,
which to them means cessation from
toll and from the cares of business.
They mistake the cause of WEAKNESS.
1t is not work it is care, il is over>
exertion, it is ambition and desire
after gain that bring worn and wea>
ry feelings. All we possess we pos
sess in life. The sooner we get
through with life, the sooner we re-
linquish our possessions. The faster
a man lives the quicker he reaches
the end of life. There are three
ends to life, and death is the last and
least desirable of them. One end is
to live. That is why we were creat>
ed-to live, and live as long, and as
we'll as we can. Some go murmur-
ing and grooming on their way, as
though life was burden, and that it
is piety to put low estimate on it.
The opposite is true. A man should
seek to live out all his days, and he
cannot accomplish it in better way
than by using all his means to pro-
mote life. Among these means arc
the three things mentioned at the
head of this article. When man de-
MES himself sleep, food, and the ex>
ercise work gives, brain and body
work, he robs his life of its full term
Let him be cheerful also. lie is like
an engine-it will run we'll and long
if it is well oiled. Contentment and
cheerfulness are the oil which keep
the nerves from wearing out. Busy
men andiwomen think that time tax
en- from toll for sleep and recre alton
is time lost. 1t is really the cement
put in to fill up the joints, to keep
out the weather, and preserve the
building.

A DOMESTIC SORROW.

Here is characteristic converse
ton which occurred some time since
between a certain Mrs. Smith ano
Mrs. Jones. The husbands both be.
long to the Bank Club, and upon
certain occasion the two wives mel
and talked over their grievances
Said Mrs. Jones: "My dear, do you
know that | am unhappy 7"
"No, had not the remotest idea Of
anything al that kind. You are liv
ing in such luxury and ease that
supposed you to be the happiest of
mortals.'
'Oh, no, | never think of that, for
| am too unhappy
what makes you so unhappy
ooh, never mind, dear, it does not
concern envy one in this world but
myself; but | am dreadful unhappy.
| suppose | am the most unhappy
person who lives
Do tell me what it is 2
well, nay dear, IL you will know,
it is this:
My husband goes out and stays all
night long at the club and plays
cards. Amt that dreadful p
Mrs. Smith gaaed at Mrs. Jones
very calmly and placidly and pity"
ingIy, and then remarked:
My dear Mrs Jones, l was abso

YOUNG MEN SAVE PART OF YOUR
INCOME.

Again and again we urge upon al
young men who are just starting in
life to make it an invariable rule tc
lay aside certain portion of THEN
income, whatever that income may
be.
Extravagant expenditures occa-
sion very large portion of the suf>
ferings of a great majority of the
people. And extravaganza is Who'll,
ly a relative term. What is not
at all extravagant for another. Ex,
pendltures-no matter how email
in themselves they may be are all
ways extravagant when they come
fully up to the entire amount of a
persons income.
The mode of living is almost en-
tirely a matter of habit 1t is Just
as easy to get along on three fourths
OF your income, whatever your in
come may be, as on the whole of it
If you only think so, and restrict your
expenditures accordingly. A young
man who afterwards became one Of
the wealthiest merchants in RhiIadel-
phia, began housekeeping on a sala>
airy of three hundred dollars a year,
but he laid by part of that and he
made it a rule of his life never to in,
crease his expenses IS fat az his in
come increased.
The thousand Inconvenience of
debt, embarrassment and dependence
may all be avoided by firm and qn-
deviatinG sdharonee To this rule.
One great aid in pursuing the
course we have recommended will
be found in keeping an accurate ac>
count of all receipts and expendi-
lures. BY frequent reference to
this you will see just what you can afo
ford to expend, without breaking
your rule ; and you can see what of
your expenditures yol can most con-
veniently curtail, or cut off entirely

THE CRUEL MOTHER AND THE

and said: Mary, you must not talk
with bad boys on the street. hope
you havn't taken anything from her

That evening the lady was called

GEN. A. II. CoLQUIrT.-We are
much gratified that the soldier and
patriot has received the nomination
for Governor by reclamation from
the Democratic Convention which
met at Atlanta on the 2nd inst.
This was due to genuine rising of
the people in favor of man of high
character and purity of life, for ma
ny leading politicians and influential
papers worked against him. We are
glad that the Empire State of the
South honors the patriotism that
showed itself on the battlefield, and
not at the street corners and in bomb
proof positions. - Gen. d. II. Hills

We have never spoken against
fashion, no matter how foolish, or
style, no matter how ridiculous. We
have always been willing to agree
with the balance of mankind, and re-
peat that old tashiOJa expression, "as
we'll as out of the word as out of the
fashion" We think veryflittle of a
man who criticises and finds fault of
ladies' styles or dresses. This is a
matter Of taste that belongs to a bet
ter class of people than we are, and
therefore it is none of our business.
The very best styles of dresses, eith'
er for ladies or gentlemen, is to pay
for them if able, and if not, do with,
out them.
