REASONABLE ECONoMY.-We don't
like stinginess. We don't like economy
when it comes down to rags and starva-
ton. We have no sympathy with the no.
ton that the poor man should hitch him
self to a post and stand still while the rest
of the world moves forward. It is no
mans duty to deny himself every amuse-
ment, every luxury, every recreation, every
comfort that he may get rich. 1t is no
mans duty to make an iceberg of himself,
to shut his eyes and ears to the sufferings
OF his fellows, and to deny himself the en-
joyment that results from generous &C.
tions, merely that he may hoard wealth
for his heirs to quarrel about. But there
is an economy which is especially COM
mendable in the man who struggles with
poverty-an economy which is consistent
with happiness, and which must be prac-
ticed if the poor man would secure indie
pendence. 1t is almost every mans privi-
lege, and it becomes his duty to live with
in his means; rot up to. but within them.
Wealth does not make she man, we ad-
nit, and should never be taken into &C
count in our judgement of men; but COM
petence should always be secured when it
can be by the practice of economy and self
denial to only a tolerable extent. Itshould
be secured, not SO much for others to look
upon, or to raise US in the estimation Of
others, as to secure us in the estimation of
others, as to secure us the consciousness
of independence, and the constant salts
faction which is derived from it's acquire
ment and possession.
