It's What You spend.

tIt's what thee1l spend, my son" said
sage old Quaker, 'snot what thee1l
make, which'will decide whether thee's
to be rich or not" The advice was trite,
for it was Franklin's in another shape
Take care of the pence, and the pounds
will take care of themselves" But it
cannot be toe often repeated. Men are
continually indulging in small expenses,
saying to themselves that it is only a
trife, yet forgetting that the aggregate
is serious, that even the seashore is made
up Of petty grains of sand. Ten cents q
day is $36 80 year, and that is the in
terest of a capital of $500. The man
that saves ten cents q day only, is SO
much richer than he who does not, as if
he owned u life estate IN house worth
5000; and if invested quarterly does not
take half that time. But ten centsa day
is child's play, some will exclaim. Well,
then, John Jacob Astor used to say that
when man who wishes to be rich has
saved SIC, 900 he has won half the bat
tie. Not that Astor thought $40, 900
much, but he knew that in making such
a sum man acquired habits of prudent
economy, which would keep him adj
vancing in wealth. How many, how
ever, spend SIC, 900 in a few years in ex-
ira expenses, snd then, on looking back,
cannot tell, as they say, "where the
money went to" To save is to get rich.
To squander, even in small sums, is the
first step towards the poor-house.

THE DRUM.
BY JAMES W. RILEY.

o, the drum
There is some
Intonation in thy glum
Monotony of utterance that strikes the spirit
dumb,
As we hear
And unclouded atmosphere,
The rumbling palpitations roll in upon the earl
There's part
Of the art
Ofthy music throbbing heart,
That thrills something in US that awakens with
start,
And in rhyme
With the chime
And exactitude of time,
Goes marching on to glory TO thy melody sub
lime.
And tine guest
Of the breast
That thy rolling robs of rest
Isa patriotic spirit as a continental dressed;
And he looms
From the gloom
Of a century of tombs,
And the blood he spilled at Lexington in living
beauty blooms.
And his eyes
Wear'the guise
Of nature pure and wise;
And the love of them is lifted to something in
the skies,
That is bright
Red and white,
With a blur of starry light,
And it laughs in silken ripples to the breezes day
and night.
There deep
Hushes creep
Ger the pulses as they leap.
And the murmur fainter growing, on the silence
falls asleep;
While the PRAYER
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and air
As heritage for Freedoms sons and daughters
everywhere.
Then with sound
AS profound
As the thunderings resound.
Come thy wild reverberations in a throe that
shakes the ground,
And cry
Flung on high
Like the flag it futters by,
Wings rapturously upward till it nestles in the
sky.

Lemons.

TO be tftwelve miles from lemon, :"
may be as much of misfortune, after
all, as Gail Hamilton represented it,.
One of our exchanges publishes the fol-
lowing list of fuses" which would make
the fruit almost panacea-and cos
metic besides.
The lemon is q native of Asia, al
though it is cultivated in Italy, Port
ugal and the south of France. sIn
Europe, however, it seldom exceeds fae
dimensions of the smallest tree, while In
it's native State it grows ninety feet in
height.
Every part of this tree is valuable in
medicine, though we rarely employ any
of it but its fruit, and that is the lemon
itself; and every one knows how to en-
ploy this, as in lemonade: Squeeze the
juice in cold water, that is the shortest
way, or to cut it in slices and boil it;
either way is good. Lemonade is one of
the best and safest drinks for any per-
son, whether in health or not. 1t is
suitable to all stomach diseases, is excel
lent in sickness, in cases of jaundice,
gravel, liver complaint and fevers. It is
specific against worms and skin COM
plants.
Lemon juice is the best anti-scorbutic
remedy known. It not only cures the
disease, but prevents it. It also pre-
vents chilblains. Lemon is used in in
termittent fevers, mixed with hot black
tea or coffee, without sugar.

A Bankers Convention.

Next month a convention of bankers
assemblies at Niagara Falls, and among
the questions to be considered by it is
the future of the national bank system.
The importance of this subject is stated
as follows by the New York Times
Rep):
"The time is not far distant when, by
the natural course of events, the country
will be compelled to choose between a
paper currency issued by the govern
ment and subject to the control, more or
less arbitrary, of Congress, and a cur
rency issued by the banks, under the re-
straining provisions of Federal law.
Two facts hasten the approach of this
decisive period. One is the fact that the
charter term of most of the national
banks will expire with the next few years;
the second is the fact that the public
bonded debt, which forms the essential
security for banking circulation, is being
rapidly reduced in amount, while the in.
terest on it is also being cut down to a
point where the issue of currency upon
it, considering the taxes to be paid, will
no longer be profitable. AS the privi-
lege of issuing currency is absolutely the
only thing which makes banking practi-
cable under the Federal law, because it
is the only consideration offered for com.
pliance with all the restrictions and con-
ditions imposed by that law, it is obvi-
Gus that as the bank charters expire they
will not be renewed unless the situation
is such as to make national banking
profitable. If they be not renewed, the
alternatives in the matter of currency
which will be presented will be paper
money issued by the Federal Govern
ment or the repeal of the present tax
on State bank circulation"

The National Debt.

The amount of interest paid by the
people of the United States on the ma
tional debt, since 1865, is 81, 764, 435. 900.
Besides this enormous amount they have
paid on the principal 1858, 657 1896,
making an aggregate payment on &C.
count of principal and interest of ST.
523, 092, 1896. The present interest bear.
ing debt of the country is 81, 1922, 872,-
900. We have paid at the rate of over
$16S, 100000 per annum. If the people,
now numbering fifty millions, should
elect to pay as large an amount per an
mum as the average annual payments of
the past fifteen years, when they num-
bered only from thirty-tive millions and
upwards, the debt would be wiped out
in little over ten years. In fact, remarks
the st. Louis Republican, if Congress
should determine to substitute a non-i in
terest bearing debt for the national bank
issue now abroad, the national burden
would melt away like snow before July
sun, and could be made to disappear in
less than decade. The debt per capita
in 1865 was $40 %, and the amount of
interest to be paid per capita per annum
81 90. Now the debt per capita is
$37 "a, and the annual interest to be
paid per capita is 81 Sc. Financiers
abroad note this achievement with won
der
