The man who saves something every
year, quotes a contemporary, who had
heard the remark from every quarter,
is on the road TO prosperity. Itmay not
be possible TO save much If not, save
a little. Do not think that dollar or a
dime is too small sum to lay BY.
Every body knows how little expendi-
lures get away with large sums. But
few seem to know that the rule is one
that works both ways If dime spent
here and dollar spent there soon make
a large hole in a mans income, so dc
dimes and dollars laid away soon be-
come visible and respectable accu-
mutation. In this country any man can
make himself independent Or keep him
self under the harrow for life. according
as he wastes or spends his small
change

their peasant-vassals, ana now the cruel
Kotsuke-no-S uke, thirsting for venge-
ance, determined to destroy the whole
family Of Sogoro. In vain his tenants,
his Samurai, his councillors, and even
the Princes Of tho surrounding country
besought the lord OF soma to be merci-
full; the bloody tyrant was memorable.
Sogoro and his wlia were condemned to
be cruciiied, ana their three sons, aged
seven. ten and thirteen respectively,
were ordered To be beheaded in the pres
ence of their parents.
On the day Of the execution all the
inhabitants OF 1he one hundred and
thirty-six villages 81 soma assembled to
bid S0goro and his wife farewell and to
encourage them with their presence and
their prayers. There was not one there,
even TO the eHecutioners themselves,
that did not call down the blessings of
Heaven upon the martyrs, while curses,
deep and bitter, we're hurled against
the hated kotsuke-no-Suke. After the
parents were made fast to the crosses,
the three boys were led forth and be-
headed in their sight. Friends received
the bodies and bore them away to pre-
pare them for burial. 0 Man, Sogoro's
wife, turning 10 her husband, said in a
cheerful voice:
Remember, my husband, that from
the first you had made up your mind to
this fate. What though our bodies be
disgracefully exposed on these crosses?
we have the promises OF the gods before
as therefore, mourn not. Let US fix
our minds upon death; We are drawing
near to Paradise, and shall soon be with
the saints. Let Us cheerfully lay down
our lives for the good Of our people,
well said, wife. responded Sogoro,
gayly. u am happy because ! have at
tanned my hearts desire Our petition
was successful; had five hundred lives,
and could five hundred times assume
this shape OF mine, / would die five
hundred times 10 redress the wrongs of
our people"
Then the eXecutioncr taking hisspear
thrust il into the side Of o Man and into
the side of her husband, and both died
there in the sight of the sorrowlng
peasants. And kotsuke-no-Suke's chief
councillor, when all was over, came and
knelt down before the dead body Of the
farmer and said;
although you we're but peasant,
you saved your brethren You bruised
your bones a Id crushed your heart for
their sakes Honors shall yet be paid
to your spirit, and you shall be canon
lied as a SAINT you shall become a
tutelar deity among the people of Soma.
And SO it came to pass. The farmers
of Soma made the grave Of Sogoro a
place Of prayer, and finally came to
look upon him as divine. Finally a
temple arose in his honor, and he was
at length duly canonized as a Buddhist
saint.-W. {. Kitchin, Ph. d., in n. Y.
