Rich Mems Sons.

The President of one of our largest
banks said day or two since, that a
rich mans son had just left his place,
and he was the last man of the kind
he should ever employ. The man was
faithful, honest, and fulfilled intelli-
gently and we'll all the duties required
of him; but just as he had become ac-
custonled to his work he found out it
was too confining, and raw clerk hod
to be put in his place. A bad look this
for rich young men: but it is the old
story repreated for the thousandth
time. If mems cons will not endure
the drudgery by which nearly all their
fathers secured money and positions,
they must take secondary place in the
generation; and oft' n they drop out
of sight amid the idle, worthless herd
! if, indeed they escape an association
with loafers and criminals. What say
the labor reformers to facts like these?
for facts they are beyond question.
Nearly every man in any leading posi>
tion in the community beg IN life poor.
Let the sons of our rich men take warn
ing and go to work honestly and faiths
fully every day if they hope to fill the
positions honorably held by their
fathers.

Perpetual Motion Accomplished.

A magnetic clock invented by Daniel
Drawbaugh, of Miltown, Cumberland
county, Pennsylvania, says the Harris
burg Telegraph, is sufficiently remark
able to be worth description. The
magnetism Of the earth, an inexhaust-
ible source of power, is made to oscil
late the pendulum, and the simplicity
of all the works gives an assurance of
the least possible friction. At a GER
tain point the movements of the pendu.
lum itself clut off magnetic conneo-
tions with the earth, and at another
point restore the connection, thus Sc
curing the conditions necessary to pros
duce its oscillations. The works are
so ingenious and simple that it is no
wild assertion to make that, were it
not fol the unavoidable wearing ont
caused by even the small amount Of
friction, the clock would run as long as
the solid earth endures. The clock is
hing against board partition, with all
the works exposed, subject to the jar
rings of machinery and distractions
from the dust sitting Son it, yet since
March 1st, 1877, it has been running
continuously and uniformly, with only
slight reported variation, rs tested by
transit observations at noon.

How to Save.

The road to independence lies, for
most people, through the narrow gate
economy. 1t is not always n pleasant
place. 1t requires sacrifice. but it res
pays the sacrifice with interest. There
are some who do not need to economic;
people with ample fortunes, who are
able to spend :pretty much as they
please. The more this class spends
the better for society. What would be
praiseworthy economy flor some would
be down right stinginess for them.
Nobody is rich enough to be wasteful.
but those who are able ought to pur-
chase freely the products of genius and
industry, and thus give employment to
the workers. The richer by boarding,
the poor by spending too freely.
The road to independence lies
through saving something Of what is
made, not always in making much. 1t
is not only when the expenses are too
great that the business does not pay
The household is like business en-
terprise; it is never financially pros
porous unless more comes into it than
goes out. The art of saving consists in
buying we'll. A perons of limited means
must resist many temptations to buy
things. Too many. people make the
mistake of buying a cheap article in
stead of dear one, and imagine they
are economizing. The mistake consists
in buying the article at all. They could
not afford it. cheap. or dear. and it is .
wise rule to buy but few things and
good ones.
Another essential rule in the art of
spendlng is never to spend money be>
fore you get it, Do without the covet>
ed treasure until the money is IN your
pocket, and then you will know better
how it onght to be spent. Buy sub
stantial things, If the amount of mons
ey that is worse than thrown away each
year, for evanescent trifes and snowy
gewgaws, by people in embarrassed
circumstances, could be ascertained,
the result wonld be appalling. The
money is simply wasted, and the saving
of it would go far toward putting the
spenders in a comfortable condition.

The Acklen Beauty.

Acklen, the notorious Louisiana
member, Shack in his seat in the
house, with his hair curled in as
sweet rows as ever. He is now out
side of the Democratic caucus.
The Louisiana Democrats, to their
credit be it said, threw him over
board, and the Republicans of the
State having no regulations to lose,
took him in, perfering man they
could use without being over nice
about the material they employed.
Very few members have anything
to say to Acklen. The few who
knew him barely spake to him.
The creatures of the lobby wink
when he passes, while he enjoys the
honor of being pointed out to visi-
tors in the gallery as one of the
most notorious members of the
house.-Er.

The Fashions.

The following story will entertain
the ladies':
"Whence comes the fashiOns?" is
a question often asked. Causeur
knows where one fashion came
from. Several years ago a leading
New York house imported, through
a blunder, a large amount of GER
tain very ugly material which would
not SELL and lay dead upon their
hands. Something had to be done.
The proprietors of one or two fash

next week their columns told thou

had recently been shown new sty-
lish fabric which promised to be
very fashionable; and the state
ment was widely copied by the daily
press. Retail dealers found their
customers inquired for it, and sought
it Of the jobbers. The jobbers in
turn sought it of the importers, who
quickly unloaded their whole stock
at handsome profit. The goods
