THRIFT VERSUS MEANNEss.
Younx People should Save Money,
but Not Too Industriousiy.

Most young people are not willing to
save money. AS 1t costs them little or
nothing they are lavish in spending il
This is a great mistake All should try
to save money and never spend it with.
out reason or without getting some
thing worth what they pay for. They
Will not always have parents to take care
OF them. AS they grow up they will need
money. Young men need it. and young
women need il. Persons should rarely or
never marry unless they have some mon
ey saved or are receiving so much for
their labor that they can take care of
themselves IL they should for awhile be
sick. Those who do not marry and save
nothing are in u pitiable condition when
old age overtakes them or sickness pre-
vents them from working or leaving their
homes.
Once in q great while youth is found
with morbid desire to hoard. Personal

them the habit grew until they became
notorious for meanness. a story is told
of celebrated bishop who grew SO mean

still bleeding wound. This seems almost
too much to believe.
