WHAT is economy Swift called it the
parent of liberty and ease. 1t does not
imply avarice, nor parsimony, nor greed
of gain. To economize does not mean to
hoard, nor to be stingy, but to save by
avoiding waste. Economy frowns upon
idleness, and encourages the formation of
habits of industry. 1t opens road
that leads to competency and independ-
ence. 1t is virtue. The practice of it
is duty. Did not the great Teacher en-
Join his disciples to "gather up the frag-
ments that remain, that nothing be lost !" ?
Economy, as a practical virtue, forbids
waste of anything useful to man or beast.
1t shows the power of aggregation result
ing from continuous additions. Fractions
of little consequence, when aggregated,
are momentous. The buyer thinks little
of the half-cents, but at the end of the
year they figure largely in the cash &C
count of the seller. Nothing exhibits
this better than the financial records OF
the Bank of England, which has rule
that in all transactions involving fractions
of penny these shall be reckoned in
favor of the bank. The fund from this
source now amounts to nearly three-quar.
tiers of million of dollars. Boys and
girls, save your pennies; every one of you
can own house at forty from saving thu
pennies alone. And beg your parents t.
petition to congress to establish post-ofiic,
saving banks for your benefit withou
more delay.

Who ever chooses his farm hands be-
cause they are active in politics, or changes
them so as to have "rotstion in Office y?
But that's the way that we free and indie
pendent, educated and enlightened Yankee
sovereigns do with our public servants,
usually. And mighty poor help" they
turn out to be, mostly. And that is what
nearly every intelligent voter who reads
this will agree to do in regard to town
representative next fall. We Yankees
are almighty smart, that's fact-smart
as chain lightning, and all the world
sees it, don't they?

A STRANGER on Playground in Aus
tralia, seeing four men standing together,
asked by-stander who they were. "That
one on the lefthand side is graduate Of
Cambridge; that on the other side is a
graduate of Oxford; that tall, fine-look-
ing man with the big moustache is a
graduate of Heidelberg, in Germany
was the reply. "But who is that little
fellow in knee breeches2 ?" "Oh, he can
neither read nor write, but he employs
the other three to take care of his sheep
He is the richest man in the county, and
they were nearly starved when he took
them into his employ"

The idea is impressed upon the minds
OF young men from the time they 60 to
college till they leave that they must fit
themselves for some "higher " station in
life than being mechanic, a merchant,
or farmer. Our children are led to be-
lieve that manual labor is degrading, is
beneath them. And yet the best oppor'
tunities in life are allied with, and depend
upon, mastery of manual operations
The college graduates who succeed are
those who are able to get this college at
mosphere out of their lungs in good season.

Voting Power OF Farmers.

Until recently the farming class, includ-
ing farm laborers, has constituted ma
jority of the voters in the United States.
But the great growth of cities, and the
increase of manufacturing industries, min
ing and transportation, has now thrown
the balance on the other side. Yet In the
majority of the states the farming interest
throws most of the votes. The Phenir
of Brattleboro refers to this fact, and also
protests against any desire on the part Of
the farmers to rule the country, or to con.

PROBABLY NEVER

In the history of proprietary medicines has
any article metsuccess at home equal to that
which has been poured upon HOOPS SARsA-
PARILLA. Why, such has been the success
OF this article, that nearly every family in
whole neighborhoods have been taking it at
the same time. Every week brings new evil
dence of the wonderful curative properties Of
this medicine.

WE never could make anything by any
game of chance, luck, hazard, or specula-
ton. We have had to depend upon down.
right hard work for our living, and for
whatever we have been able to gain above
that. We don't complain on that account.
We once heard an elder brother reprove a
younger for playing cards, saying, rather
Enthusiastically, 81 never play cards" The
younger (who was not playing for money!
retorted, Nevertheless, you have got a
gamblers eye; and, in fact, the elder was
very adventurous speculator in business.
Now it is possible that we may have
within us that which would develop into
love of hazardous games, and that our
"bad luck" at all such things has really
been preventive providence for which
we should be grateful. This bad luck ex-
tends even to writing "Prize Essays"
Somebody always beats US, and we have
to own, too, that we are fairly beaten. So
it was when Mr.. Stahl beat us for the $50
prize offered by the Rural New Yorker
for the best column of "Pithy Para.
graphs" The Rural would have will
ingly paid us perhaps ten dollars for the
same amount of work outside of compe
tition, but we risked that for the chance
of the $50, and got nothing. The Rural
however, reserved the right to use the re-
jected articles, and we reprint from it oul
own venture, so as to realize little out Of
it. But MIR. Stahl's was much the best.

TEN. In fact this preparation is so well bal
anced in its action upon the alimentary
canal, the liver, the kidneys, the stomach,

that it brings about healthy action of the

credited by those who have not seen the re-
