instant, a grand fleet of sailing
yachts. The visitors will be from
Philadelphia, and will number in all
about seventy five sail. They will
be handsomely decorated, and will
present sight worth seeing.
The question is why should this
pleasure fotilla assemble in North

The Habit of Saving.

The number of people who have
not at sometime of their lives enjoy
ed an income in access of their i'm
mediate wants is SO inconsiderable
that it is not worth while to make a
computation. The mistake with
many is that they will not look out
for the future. One of the most diff
ticult of undertakings is that of teach
ing some people to live within their
income, to save whenever possible.
Good fortune or ability may secure
employment for young man that
will bring him in sum much larger
than his needs require. His spirits
are buoyant. He sees no clouds in
the futures skies. He tells himself
that having begun so well he must
do better as the years go on. So he
spends his money for extravagant
dress and in other channels. The
habit of extravaganza, instead of the
habit of saving, is contracted. Some
of the young mans money is thrown
away in the qualification of tastes
that lower his value to his employer.
In time, either through business de-
preston or his own inattentiou, he is
deprived of employment. If he is a
fellow of grit, and Is capable of self.
examination, he sits IN Judgment up
on himself and condemns his own
foolishness. If he be weak brother
he speedily becomes useless to the
world. His habits of extravaganza
may lead him into forbidden paths.
The habit of saving taught by par
ents has been the saving of many Il
young man. Thrift withouth mean
ness is honorable and honored all the
world over. The young man who
saves is sure to become valuable
citizen. He is certain to be a good
father and husband. When the
rainy-day day comes and age puts its
heavy hand upon him he need have
no fear. The young man who pre-
feres good time is working against
himself. If he has good time at
the beginning he is likely to have a
hard time at the end. Youth is
strong, and is capable of self-denial.
Age is weak, and after it has fought
the battle of life it ought not to be
compelled to practice all the arts of
savlng.--Las Vegas Optic.
