CASH VS.. CREDIT.

People who buy for cash always
buy cheaper than those who buy on
credit. They buy also more closely,
al d select more carefully. Purchas
es which are paid for when made,
are limited more exactly to the pur
chaser's wants. There is nothing
like having to count the money out
when the article rs bought to max
people economical The amount Of
Indebtedness incurred is not much
considered when the pay day is far
off. Persons who do all their bust
ness on cash basis. know just where
they stand and what they can afford.
Real wants are few and can be graft
fed for cash ; at all events they
should be limited to what can be
paid for in cash. How much Of
anxiety, how many heart buroings,
dissppointments, and regrets would
be avoided if this rule was strictly
adhered to

A MAN OF HONOR.

10 1870, Mr.. Charles Rous, Bal.
timore grain dealer, failed for nearly
$4,000, and was compelled to COM
promise with bis creditors for fifty
cents on the dollar. Last Saturday,
we are told, he sent each one of the
creditors a check, which was pay
ment in full, making up the deficit,
with interest at 6 per cent. This
noble instance of commercial ipteg-
rity was go appreciated by the
"boys" on 'Change that on the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Rous on the floor
Saturday he was greeted with q
tiger, in which his agreeably sur
prised creditors and the rest joined.
The checks sent out aggregated a
sum approaching $4,000.
This is cited as rare case and it
is "going the rounds" of honorable
mention in every journal of the
world. The name of Charles ROus
will therefore be, for season at
least, held in the highest respect in
every quarter of the globe. 1t is
true that he simply did what be con-
sidered his duty. 1t may not have
been his legal, technical duty, but it
was something higher aud holier.
Had his conduct been of frequent
occurrence, no special notice would
have been taken of it. That it has
few emuIations is creditable to Mr..
Rous but not to the world at large.
The majority of men who fail in bu
siness never are able to raise from
their misfortune, and hence have
no: the opportunity of demonstrating
the nobility of their nature, which,
under happier circumstances, trans
cends the mere letter of the bank
rupt court Some men are reported
to be better off after failure than be
fore. But this may be an idle and
slanderous fiction. A very few more
than recover what they had once
lost, but they never think it worth
while to pay old debts that have been
legally discharged. Each man must
be judged by his conscience. Still
it is very certain that while few men
are competent to repay liabilities,
fewer still Iigudste them when able.
And it is because of this isolation of
honesty that Mr.. Rous is welcomed
with hurrahs on Change and held up
to distinction in the press. The
world may often seem to disregard
sublime actions, bat it usually knows
virtue when it sees it-even upon
Change Augusta Constitutional

A BR AVE LITTLE BOY.


The recent destructive tenement
house FIRE to New York, by which 80
many lives we're lost, was scene of
youthful heroism that challenges our
admiration. The FIRE started on the
ground floor under the stairway
that is, the fireplace of the chimney
and almost at once climbed the
stsirways and shot up through the
scuttle, rising ten or twelve feet
above the roof. The narrow alley
was full of sitting smoke, which soOn
euveloped the surrounding houses
and filled the street in front. The
police and fremen could not see lit
tie, but could hear women screaming
in the trap. The Gremen, half chok
ed with smoke, got ladders against
the front of the building All of the
inmates who had not been stiiled al
ready we're at the windows crying
for help. McKenns, the currier,
living 90 the third floor, was away
at bis work. His wife was absent,
and the four children were in the
room eating their breakfast when the
alarm of fire was raised. Charles
the oldest boy, hastily opened the
door and saw that the stairway was
a furnace below and above the ball.
He returned to the room and fasten-
ed the door securely to keep out the
fire and smoke, then, picking up his
baby sister in bis arms, he climbed
out of the window to the FIRE escape
and descended to the balcony on the
second floor. Standing on that bal
cony he shouted to a crowd of men
who were on the roof of shed 10
the yard opposite to catch the child
and tossed her to them. She fell
unframed into the arms of long
shoreman, who carried her into his
own house and gave her to bis wife.
"Hold on boys" young McKenna
said, as he saw bis sister carried
away, "Pve got two more"
In few moments he again ap'
peared on the balcony with his three
year old brother Hugh, whom be
threw to the men on the roof of the
shed. They caught him unhurt -
Charles had the greatest difficult
with bis brother James, nine years
old, who refused to leave the room,
He got him to the window, but the
boy would not jump, telling his
brother that he would certainly be
killed on the tagging below. His
brother finally went back of the
room, ran towards him unexpected
Iy, lifted him in his arms and drop
ped him to the crowd below. He
was not in the least hurt. Charles
then got on the fire escape, around
which the flames were flying, and
lowered himself to the lowest balco-
ny, from which be jumped into the
yard, landing on hIs feet uninjured ,
save for Scorched hands.

An intelligent gentleman of Lewis

An intelligent gentleman of Lewis
burg, Pa, named Howard Miller,
closes an able article thus;
"The returns of the census show
that the South is increasing numeri~
cally, that she is beating the North
in the game, and if the little driblet
of emigration now trickliug south
ward widens and deepens with its
fountains in every village in Europe,
as sooner or later it is bound to do,
the broad stream will soon settle the
question of relative solidity polite
ally, and at a not distant day people
will wonder how it came about that
they lived so long among the rocks,
where it took six months hard work
to keep from being starved and fro
zen the balance of the year"
The good time is coming for the
South, and she can afford to wait,
while the heather, who think them
selves so secure, rage without stint.

The pension arrearage act of Jan~
uary %, 1879, was the most costly
legislative experiment ever ventured
upon 10 any country. At the time
it was hurried through Congress the
total expenditure under its provisions
was estimated at from S20,000,000
to $50, 100000. The Commissioner
of Pensions now says that the first
payment will reach the sum of 5000,
100000 to $40 100000 1t will
add about 100000 new pensioners
to the rolls, and the total payments
are expected 10 the end to reach not
less than 100000, 900. These vast
figures are only equaIed by the sums
which the great European powers
sp nd 10 maintaining their great
armies and navies.

People who reside in the vicinity
of Niagara Falls are treated every
winter to spectacles of icy beauty to
be witnessed in no other part of the
world. At the present time, says a
dispatch from there, the falls have
assumed remarkable appearance.
The low water and continual cold
weather have formed ice so as to
divide the American falls into five
distinct bodies of water. The ice
cones still keep growing larger, the
icicles and stslactites heavier, and
the trees fringe of ice more beauti>
full. With the exception of an ice
bridge the scenery in the memory of
the oldest inhabitants never was
more imposing and grand. Ice
mounds are climbing their way to
the top of the Canadian falls. Such
formation has not been kno wn
there In many years.

There is little doubt that in the
next Congress the Republicans will
eudeavor to increase the regular
standing army, in the face of the
fact that there is no menace of war
from any quarter, and that the In
dian problem, according to the Off
cial reports, is substantially solved.
A Washington correspondent sayG
"The army is top-heavy. We have
officers enough on the active list for
an army FIVE or six times the size oil
ours. Then the people are taxed to
support a retired list of about four
hundred officers, who do nothing but
draw their pay. All these officers,
all their friends, and all their social
alliances, resulting from the perma>

army, so that the superhuous officers

SAVE THE BRAINS.

Do not overtax the brain. No man
should do more work of muscle or of
brain in day than he can perfectly
recover from the fatigue of in a good
nights rest. Up to that point, ex-
ercise is good; beyond are waste of
life, exhaustion and decay. When
hunger calls for food, and fatigue
demands rest, we are in the natural
order, and keep the balance of life
When we take stimulants to spur
our jaded nerves or excite an appe~
tite, we are wasting life. There is
wrong and mischief in all waste of
life. A man should live so as to keep
himself at bis best, and true econo
my. To eat more food than is need
full is worse policy than tossing mon-
ey into the sea. 1t is a waste Of
labor and a waste of life.

has been a decrease of S33, 100000
10 banking capital, the improvements
of property have been checked, the
number of depositors in the savings
banks has fallen off, the loans of the
banks have been less this year than
the repay ment by borrowers, there
is no new railroad building in the
State, and the home capitalists are
transferring their business to New
York. California is the only State
that is not sharing in the g'nsral
prosperity of the country.
