the SAVING HABIT.

Ore Of the most difficult and at the
same time most essential Of habits To
form is that of saving. OF course.l
there are many persons In all walks,
Of life who. although they are In COM
Portable circumstances, are 50 penuri-'
Gus as to be absolutely opposed to-
parting even with their pennies. Their
very lives are controlled by the idea
Of getting along with as little az pos
sible even at the risk OF earning for
themselves reputation for stingi-
ness. Such persons, however. make
up q class all to themselves, and gem
orally deserve the contempt In which
they are held BY their fellow-beines.
On the other hHud, the spendthrift de-
serves as much, IL not more, condem-
nation. perhaps. for the facility with
which he allows his often hard-earned
money to slip through his hands.
There IL q golden mean between these
two extremes Of character and it IL
found In the ability Of a man to save
from his earnings SUFFICIENT for the
proverbial rainy day. The advantages
Of saving may be demonstrated to Us
] In many ways and on many occasions.
but II remains for necessity to Inn
press its Importance upon our minds.
It may be that the manner Of living
may account in large measure for the
universal habit Of spending all that
we make the opportunities for doing
30 are very great and at the same
time seem very real and imperative.
and it is only after the pocket is emp
" and we face stern necessity that
we are able to discriminate between
opportunity and temptation.
