The Art of Getting Rich.


Look we'll to your spending. No
matter what comes in. il more goes
out you will be always poor. The
art is not in making money but in
keeping it. Little expenses, like
mice in a barn, when they are many,
make great waste. Hair by hair
heads get bald; straw by straw the
thatch goes off the cottage, and drop
by drop the rain comes into the
chamber. A barrel is soon empty
if the tap leaks but a drop a minute.
When you mean TO save begin with
your mouth; many thieves pass down
the red lane. The ale jug is a great
waste. In all other things keep
within your compass. Never stretch
your legs further than your blankets
will reach or you will soon be cold.
In clothes choose suitable and last
ing stuff, and not tawdry fineries-
To be warm is the main thing, never
mind the looks. A fool may make
money, but it needs a wise man to
spend it. Remember, it is easier to
build two chimneys than TO keep
one going. If you give all TO back
and board there is nothing left for
the savings bank. Fare hard and
work hard when you are young, and
you will have chance to rest when
you are old.

| Small Pox.

Our place has Il little local excitement
caused 10y two cases of small poX. or
vari"loid. Mr.. John Chubb. who lives
on Spring street, and Mrs. ID. a. Cliff
ford, who lives in the upper story of
Calcdonian Block, each have developed
unmiStakahlc cases of this disease. Both
these persons were at Philadelphia the
first of the month, and it is supposed
they contracted the disease there or IN
hunsitu. The fact that they both stop
ped at the same boarding house, favors
the theory that it was probably con-
tracted there. Mr.. Chubb was unwell
the last of the week, but the character
of the disease was not determined until
Monday. Mrs. Clifford's case was I'M
decided until Tuesday. Mr.. Chubb is
quite sick Mrs. Clfford's case is
milder.
The breaking out of this lOathsome
disease i'll two places i'll our village,
causes Il good deal of talk, as is natu-
raj. While all precautionary measures
should be. and we have no doubt will

pie to get IL panic. While there will be
considerable anxiety for few days
least others who stopped at the same
Philadelphia house shall not prove to
have the same disorder, every precau-
ton will be taken to prevent exposure
from those who now have it. 1t is
probably true that several persons were
rx pused by these two persons before
the nature of the disease was known.
1t is vet undecided whether to re-
move Mrs. c. from the village; the only
object in removing her being to quiet
the fears of people who would naturally
do business in this immediate vicinity.
The opinion of several medical men Is,
that the patient is so high up, that there
will be no danger of contracting the
diseuse from the street or ground floor.
While this is probably true, the only
way to allay the fears of the public ana
have business go along. is for the select
men to procure suitable place remote
from the village and remove the pa
