SENSIBLE WORDS TO woRKINGMEN

\ writer in the Peoples IdcOcdte, q
journal published In this city In the inter
estS OF the Trades and Labor Union, makes
some very sensible suggestions To work
ingncn concerning the virtue OF small
savings. The great majority OF working
men, he SAYS, by the time they reach the
age OF my, could have from two 10 five
thousand dollars laid by If they chose 10
be prudent, and this without being stiugy
or mean, and without denying themselves
anything which they really need. There
is less excuse for poverty in this country,
he argues, than in any other on the globe,
for whoever here Is industrious and eco
nomical may reasonably look forward 10 1
fair competency in his later life. The
young mechanic who is bent upon having
the full measure of frivolous pleasures las
he goes along, will reap the bitter fruits
of improvidence in after years "a truth
which the writer OF the article admits has
been forced home upon him by his own
experience. lie confesSes that in his OWE
youth he ignored advice like that which he
now gives, but his words are not the less
weighty on that account In his admoni-
tious 10 form habits OF regular weekly
saving, although the amount laid by be
small TO discard frivolous amusements !;
and TO postpone marriage until some mon
cy has been saved 10 meet The increased
expenditures of living, hc shows homely

his advice helpful to those whom he adj
dresses.
