The,;ConsoIation OF Hard Times,

TheliCOnsOlation oil harn ithhes'
The Cincinnati Commercial Of yesterday
has an article on "the bright side Of hard
times" that contains some excellent
points as food for reflection. Alter refer
ring lat some length to the great crisis
through which the country has passed and
isstill passing, j, goes on to make the iol.
lowing remarks "As the atmosphere is
always purer and clearer after every
great storm, so the tone Of our CONNER
cial and social life will be better after
the severe reyulsions through which
wa are now passing. In every city
Of the country, where men are wise and
women thoughtful, the christening effect
Of adversity is being felt. One good re-
suit must be that less respect will be paid
to mere wealth and outward display,
while honest labor and exertion will be
rewarded with their proper need Of
praise and consideration. The habits Of
thrift and economy, too, enforced by mar
row circumstances, will have their value
in checking that frightiul waste which
has so long characterized our American
life. That m average family in our
cities actually wastes more than ii con.
sumes may appear asLartling paradox to
some unrelectiug persons; yet, by the tes'
timOny Of competent observers the para.
dOx may be proved a literal fact as re.
garlI many households. While it ia to
be hoped that the day is far distant when
any in this beautiful country should long
want for bread, ii ia undeniably true that
the want Of comforts and even necesaries
is Just the wholesome spur which some
people need to teach them the beneficial
lesson which IE4opS ami tauEht to the
grasshOpper in the fable. Too great a
contempt for small savings and reck-
lessncsa Of personal and household ex'
penditure arc great sources Of after'em-
barrassments TO mullitudes."
