The torpedo vessel also disappeared forcTcr

Money Making and Money Saving.
A fact to be borne in the mind of every one
who desires to accumulate wealth is thii : It Li
not tjie inoiiey that we mako 'bat tho money
that we save that makes us rich," .
A man may enjoy an annual! inooine of fire
thousand dollars, but unless ho saves partof it, 1
he will bo no better off at the end of ten jean,
than the pwr laborer who has been receiving
only oue dollar per day during the sauio pcrioi', ;
Every man sh mid endeavor to livo thiti his
means and to savo a portion of his income, no
tn itter how small your iiicomo may be you can
and should save a part of it, to assist you through
the long weary hours when hard times corub i
and you liavo no employment, and to help you
through the attacks of sickness: or it' you i
should be blessed with continued good health
and steady employment and con ti oue to savo a
part ot your earnings all through the active
workiug years of your manhood, it will then bo
in your power to buy and pay for a cotnforfablo
home, where you can spend the remaining years
of your earthly life in quiet and couif-it. sui
rounded by your family, your . books aud your
friends where vou will have time and opportuni
ty to contemplate and admire tho glorious works
of your creator, and enjoy the '. fellowship of all
the great minds who have lived ju tho different
ages of the world.
There during the list weary miles of your
earthly course you can calmly picture to your
self the beauties. and pleasures of the life beyond
the grave.
We should remember that it is by providing
f ir the ' helpless hours of sickness and old ago
that civilized m.-iu proves himself to bo superior
to the savage, and the man who fails to save a
portion of his income is guilty of gross neglect
of duty, both as a mau and as a member of a
civilized community. The man who supports
himself and family, and provides for tho iufirmi
ties of old age, no matter how-obscure he may ro
main, bus lived a truer life than tho world re
reuowued poet or painter, who after living a life
of ease and honor, dies in some charitable insti
tute , . '':"' I
Now readers if you want to becomo wealthy
you, must commence, now to save a portion of
your income no matter how small it may be, you
can save a part of it, aud don't become discour
aged because your savings appear small and tri
cing; have patience, and Coutiuue to add what- .
ever you can; the first huudied is the hardest tQ
save, every dollar that yon udJ to it makes
stronger; put your savings into the bank ; for
la. -
small amounts tne suviugs banks are tho best.
When your money is in the bank you are not so

Hero we have a young man strutting around
with the price of eighteen acres of good land
upon his back ; quite a respectable farm to give
away for one suit of clothes, and yet you can 'see
both old aud young who carry juat such farms
upon their backs ; but the laboring - man may
exclaim, iaI don't wear such expensive clothes.'',
We will admit that, but if the laboring man who
receives only ten or ulteen dollars per month
would endeavor u ave three dollars of bis
monthly wagv a, at the end of tho year he would
have eoougli U buy seven acres of land worth
five d !lars per acre, and in this way he would
s-xm have a larm of his own. Don't say that
you can't d-j t, for you can if you try; but you;
must put your money in a bank or iu the band
of some person whom you are certain will tako
cte of it, but the batik is the best place, as it' is
the safeat until you buy your land. It lies in
every able-bodied man's power to get a home of
his own if he will only s ive what he earns. lie?
member that a fool can make money but it takes,
a wise man to save it.
Thackeray says it is better for you to pass an
evening once or twice a week in a Judy's drawing-room,
even though the conversation is rather
slow, and you know the girl's -ng by heart,
than at a club or tavern. All men who avoid
female society have dull perception or grots'
tastes, and revolt agaioft what is pure. .
An -Arkansas paper says : The coining wo-1
man came yesterday. JShe aryived at the rail
road statiou. She met a stranger as she alight -from
the train, wbonishehad never seen before..
The Etranger was fascinated by her. They were ,
at once married by a justice of the peace, and
set out for home in a cart." " I
