SPENT FREELY IN PROSPERITY.
Spectator Scorned to Make Provision
for Lean Years.

The late Townsend Percy, specu-
lator and promoter, who made and lost
more than one fortune in the course
OF his life, used to be fond of repeating
some Of his mothers witticisms at his
expense, generally brought about by
his extravagances during his periods
Of prosperity. Once Percy had driven
four-in-hand for year, when an un-
fortunate deal made 1t necessary for
him to reduce expenditures and sell
his horses, on which occasion she said
to him:
Townsend, don't you think that 1t
would be better to drive one horse
four years, instead Of four horses one
year,"
Another time, when on the verge Of
financial crash, Percy still owned .
considerable stable, and gave no out
ward sign of pecuniary embarrass-
ment. His mother met an old friend
of the family about this period, who
congratulated her on her sons sue
cess in life. II am glad that Townsend
is doing so WELL" said the friend.
Yes, indeed" remarked the old
lady. Townsend has six horses and
seven carriages and eight dollars. -
