SAVE A LITTLE.

Every man who is obliged
to work for his living should
make 1t a point to lay up a
little money for that rainy
day" which we are all liable
to encounter when least ex-
pected. The best way to do
this is to open an account
with a savings bank. Ac-
cumulated money is always
safe; it is always ready to
use when needed. Scrape
together a few dollars, make
your first deposit, receive
your bank book, and then
resolve to deposit a given
sum, small though it be,
once a month, or once a
week, according to circum-
stances. No body knows
without trying it how easy a
thing it is to save money
when an account with a
bank has once been opened.
With such an account a man
feels a desire to enlarge his
deposit. 1t gives him a les
son in frugality and econo-
my, Weans him from habits
of extravaganza and is the
very best guard in the world
against intemperance, dis
sination, and vice.
