The Wisdom of Economy.

Look most to your spending. No
matter what comes in, if more goes
out you will be poor always. The
art is not in making money, but in
keeping it; little expenses, like mice
in barn, when they aremany, make
great waste. Hair by hair the head
gets bald; straw by straw the thatch
goes offthe cottage; drop by drop the
rain comes into highlander. A bar
rel is soon empty ifthe tap leaks but
a drop minute. When you mean
tosave begin Witty mouth; there
are many thieves down the red lane.
The ale-jug is a great waste. In all
other things keep within compass.
In clothes choose suitable and lasting
stuff, and not tawdry fineries. TO be
warm is the main thing, never mind
the looks. Never stretch your legs
further than the blanket will reach,
or you will soon be cold. A fool may
make money, but it needs awise man
to spend it. Remember, it is easier
to build two chimneys than to keep
one going. Ifyou give all to back
and board, there is nothing left fol-
the savings bank. Fare hard, and
work while you are young, and you
will have chance of rest when you
are old.

Philosophy Of Success.

How to succeed in life, is the all
important problem for solution by
both young and old. While some
succeed while others do not, seems
almost inexplicable at times; still
there are but very few unfortunates,
bound down by circumstances which
is not within their power to prevent
or remedy. The philosophy of true
success is embodied in the principles
of earnest, well directed efforts. In
discretion, vascilation and weakness
of purpose, are the almost universal
causes of an unsuccessful life.
There is great diversity of views
held as to what constitutes success !;
and while we do not look upon the
acquisition of money as the greatest
or only evidences of success, it is not
our purpose to attempt a full defini-
ton. What one man smiles upon as
a grand success, to another would be
a sad, humiliating failure. Present
attainments of wealth, education or
position, may not indicate the full
measure of success to be enjoyed. The
present may be the effect of causes
preceding, and also the causes that
point to much grander results in the
future. A young man may sigh for
wealth and position, and may despair
because they were not the fortunes of
birth or inheritance. He may not
have the disposition to help himself,
and, therefore, remains drone at the
foot of the ladder that reaches high
up to fortune, fame and honor. Sue
cess is the rightful possession of no
one who thus indolently neglects
| golden opportunities, for while an in
heritance may greatly aid in the race
of life, it confers no absolute honor
upon its chance possessor. The thou
sands who have risen from poverty's
cradle to be counted among million.
airs should assure all, that wealth is
attainable by the proper exercise OF
mind and muscle; that, indeed, every
"man is the architect of his own for
tune" He who would make prog.
ress on the road to fortune or to fame
will find the philosophy of success in
the answer which Jupiter gave the
wagner: "Put your own shoulder
to the Wheel" The young man-ol
old-who drinks, smokes and loaf;
his time away around street corners
who feasts upon his own and other
licentious thoughts and utterances
DEGREES, for himself, poverty, rags
public disgust and personal disgrace
The life of such is purposeless, ex
cept in the channel of unbridled in
dugence to passion and beastly i'm
pulses. Persevering, well directed
effort of mind and body, with pru
dence and sterling character at the
helm, will not fail to weave for the
actor a crown of golden honors, peace
and plenty.

Jumbo's Widow.

Alice, the elephantrecently brought

While Newman, the trainer, was TAX
ing out heavy screw that fastened
upon one Of her ankles a big iron
band, put on in London to chain her
by, she took him up four times with
her trunk and thew him away from
her, not angrily, or with any intent
to hurt him, but simply to make him
understand that she was annoyed by
him. The band had chafed her and
made an ugly sore that was hurt by
his handling. He persisted, how
ever, and when finally the band fell
off she comprehended what he was
about. After swinging her foot to
see that it was really free, she put
her trunk about Newman, drew him
to her, and Rugged him, as if by way
of apology for her presiding rudeness.

About The Size of It.

New York Sun.
Liberty ofspeech is the right of
every man in this country, but liber-
ty of murder is theright Of none. The
miscreants who come here with
bombs and dynamite, and with
the avowed purpose Of killing those
who do not please them, should be
dealt with in the sternest and most
relentless manner. There is no room
for them in this country, and the
places they orcupy cannot be vacated
too soon. In such a contest as that
which has been provoked in Chicago,
where the crazy fools who are advo-
eating the slaughter alike of peaceful
citizens and officers Of the law have
attempted to execute their ferocious
purpose, there is but one thing to be
done: They must be put down with
the strong hand instantly and after
ward those who remain alive must
be tried and must have justice, but
not mercy. There is no excuse what
ever for their crime, and the courts
and authorities Of Illinois may be
relied upon to deal with them as their
deserts and the public safety require.
