A. Plea for Christian Prudenc


Ihaye no sympathy for skin-hint saw
ing. but l plead for Christian prudence.
You say it is impossible now to lay up
anything for rainy day. / know it,
but we are at the daybreak of national
prosperity. Some people think it is
mean to turn the gas low when they 60
out OF the parlor. They feel embarrassed
Il the door-bell rings before they have
the hall lighted. They apologize for the
plain meal IL you surprise them at the
table. Wen, it is mean If it is only to
pile up miserly hoard. But if it be to
educate your children, if it be to give
more help to your wife when she does
not feel strong, If it be to keep your
funeral day from being horrible beyond
all endurance because it is to be the dis
ruption and annihilation Of the domestic
circle--if it be for that, then it is mag
nificent. Talnlage.
