How to Economic.

" Economy is wealth" but there rs a
kind of economy (so-called) that leads to
poverty. True economyis that which saves
needless waste, and spends lavishly when
good opportunity offers. To say that one is
economical because he is close and stingy
is not correct. Stjngy people practice the
poorest economy. g. liberal soul shall be
made fat, p And he that withholdeth more
| than is meet tendeJh to poverty" 1t re
quires good judgment to practice economy,
and any man who is truly economical in a
! broad sense is almost certain of success.
| There is a great waste about every house
| hold and about every farm. True economy
establishes wise plans for preventing these
wastes, and yet if it is discovered that it
costs more TO prevent waste than the saving
| would amount 10, Il is economy to permit
waste Il is poor economy to efyour build
| ings 20 unpainted to let vour low lands go
| undrained, to permit rocks and stump5 to
| incumber plowed fields. 1t is poor econ
| omy 10 omit planting an orchard, and TO
| defer be2uttying your place by the plant
! ing of shade trees, and the laying out of at
tractive grounds. II is good economy to
present your iieighbors with basket of
! grapes or early strawberries, for kindly
| feelings among neighboys is cheap at any
cost. Il is poor economy to begin law
suit III which you must spend a week S
time, at least, employ and pay lawyer,
and then be doubtful as to the result las
law suits are always doubtful to collect
4 debt that might be more easily and
expeditiously collected by the applca-
ton of Christian principles and for
bearance. ii is poor economy TO con-
| fac the family to a diet of salt pork,
when fresh meat can be secured at any
reasonable price. 1t is poor economy
to keep old worn out horses, and poor
mich cows, that consume as much food as
| those that will render much better service.
| 1t is poor economy to hire unskilled, awk-
ward men, when better men can be secured
by paying additional wages. 1t is poor
| economy 10 plant or sow more than you
have time to care for in the best manner,
or 10 permit your wife to overwork, or TO
omit to give her frequent vacations, or to
overlook the education of your children.
| The true economist is he who most readily
discovers the best use for his money. For in
stance fruit-grower feeling able to invest
$500 in nice team and carriage, would be
practicing good economy by renting a
| house in a neighboring city, and giving
his family the advantages of city life for
period, and his children the advantages of
city schools instead of investing the same
| money in an equipage.-Ercadnge

An Ugly Boy and q Wasp.

An exchange gives a characteristic Incl
dent of a spoiled child on his travels:
Among the passengers on the ST. Louis
express on the Erie RAILWAY, between Port
Jervis and Jersey City, short time ago,
was much over-dreSsed W Jman. accom-
panied By a bright-looking Irish nurse
girl. who had charge of seii-willed, ty-
rannical two-year-old boy, OF whom tie
over-dressed woman was plainly the
mother The mother occupied a seat by
herself The nurse and child were in the
seat in front. The child gave such fire.
quent exhibitions of temper, end kept the
car filled with such vicious yells and
shrieks, that there was a general feeling of
indignation. Although he time and again
spat in his nurses face, scratched her
hands, and tore at her hair and bonnet, she
bore it patiently. The indignation of the
passengers was the greater because the
childs mother made no effort to correct
him, but on the contrary, sharply chided
the nurse whenever she manifested any
firmness. Whatever the boy yelped for,
the mothers cry was uniformly
" Let him Lave it, Mary
The child had just slapped the nurse in
the face for the hundredth time, and was
preparing for fresh attack, when wasp
came from somewhere in the car and flew
against the window of the nurses seat.
The boy at once made dive for the wasp
as it struggled upward on the glass. The
nurse quickly caught his hand, and said:
Harry mustn't touch Bug will bite
Harry ~
Harry gave a savage yell, and began to
kick and slap the nurse. The mother
awoke from nap. She heard her sons
screams, and without lifting her head or
opening her eyes, called out sharply to the
nurse:
Why will you tease that child, Mary
Let him have it."
Mary let go of Harry. The boy clutched
at the wasp and caught it. The yell that
followed caused joy TO the entire car, for
every eye was on the boy. Tie mother
awoke again.
Mary" she cried, lei him have it -
Mary turned calmly in her seat and said
Sure, he's got it, mum "
This brought down the car Every one
in it roared. The childs mother rose up
in her seat with jerk. When She learned
what the matter was she pullel the boy
over the back OF the seat and avoke some
sympathy by laying him across her knee ana
warming him nicely. In ten minutes he
was as quiet and meek as a lamb, and
never opened his head again uuti! the train
reached Jersey City.

Does a Horse Exercise reason

A remarkable instance of the sagacity of
a mare has come TO our notice. John
Fletcher owns a mare, which runs in a
pasture adjoining his house. The mare has
young colt at her side. a few nights
sirce, after Mr.. Fletcher had retired, he was
aroused by the mare coming to the win
dow of his house. and by paving, neighing
and in every way possible trying to get his
attention. This continuing for some time,
he got up and went out and drove her
away, and returned again to bed but she
Immediately returned, and, if possible in
creased her demonstrations. He again
went out, when the mare came up to
him and rubbed her nose against
him, although always before she had
been very shy, then ran on a few
yards before him, continuing her neighing
then, as he did not follow her, she returned
to him in the most demonstrative manner
He attempted to drive her off. struck her
with stick, and followed her a few yards
to frighten her away. As soon. however,
as he turned toward the house she returned
and tried in every way to prevent him from
doing so. He then remarked that her colt
was not with her, fact he had not before
noticed, as it was quite dark. 1t occurred
to him then to follow her, which he did
So soon as she saw he was doing so she ran
OFT before him. stopping every few yards,
turning around to see that he was still fol-
lowing then again running on, keeping
up her calling until she reached distant
part of the field, where she stopped at
an old prospect hole On coming
up with her, she again commenced rubbing
against him, and drew his attention to the
hole, where he soon discovered the colt. 1t
| appears it had slipped into it, and was I'M
able TO get out, and the mare had taken
this method to obtain assistance. Being
unable to get it outalone, Mr.. Fletcher went
for some neighbors, and with them re-
turned. While they were taking the little
fellow out the mare manifested the most
intense delight, and almost seemed beside
herself with Joy and afterwards, when the
men had got out of the hole, she came up
to Mr.. Fletcher and placing her nose on
his shoulder, gave every sign of gratitude
that human mother might under similar
circumstances. Who will say the horse
