You must do as to money matters what
s certain ancient school of philosopher did
as to morals. Those old suges used crcrj
night, to review their action fur the dty,
and soo what thny ought not to have done
that they had done, and what they might
have done better of the things which it had
been necessary for I hem tndo. So, too,
must jou, every night, reriew the outlays
of the day, and see what you have spent
and bow yon might have got mom "cotiom-
ically whatever it was necessary for you to
j obtain. ' Any ons who ' faithfully make
such a reriew of his' expenditures will he
apt to discover many opportunities for
retrenchment and reform." And then,
if he will, he can at once begin to save, and
may acqJire economical habits which will

110U' .MAX Y WOULI) BE LEFT?
i A writer aska the followhig pungent
questions: W hen tho following classes are
tuken out' of our churches, bow Oiany would
be leftr . : i;-'.;
. All who will not pay jut debts. , ,
All who are bypocritiiaj. . . ,
All who are deceitful, sud talk at)6ut
others behind their backs. ' ; ". ',.'
All who gel iuto debt without a prospect
of paying the same.' ?i . 1 -
All who ire proud and scornful, uoluitv
themselves above their fellow men. ant
shun those less fortunate than themselves.
AH who worship nroirey inure1 than they
do their Creator. ' : - -
All who spocutnta on thv Igntfraoio' ol
others, , . - , , .,, ; . , ,
; AH who sre tattlers.
All who think mote of wicked rich men
thsif they do of a pious poor one'.
All tttio oppress the poor.
All who mske long prayers for the sake
of being heard and seen of men.
All who are vsiri und self-conceited.
When these, 'and a good many others
thru could be mentioned, are taken out, the
church will be left without a member. The
religion of Jestf docs not have any of tho
uhove defects. It makes ((is true ccravert
cheerful, hopeful and charitable ; disposed
to visit tho widow and orphan, and to keen
unspotted from the world. It does not
mske one prnnd, scornful, hot on tbe con
trary, makes one desirous of doing good to
be meek and humble, and to le kind to all,
as opportunity . may offer. Oh! that we
had less pretention in our churches, and
more genuine Christianity.
Tho New York World denounces Mr,
Blaine as a h; pocrite iu bis political sym
pathies snd professions. Speaking of his
maneuvers on tho floor of the llou luit
week, it says : It whs nil attempt to wrig
gle out of bis original proposition to inflict
a peculiar and puldm disgrace upon Jeffer
son Dsvis by representing it to be merely
opposition to a proposition to pay him nc
culiar honor; as if it were not absurd to
describe ss n honor that which everybody
possesses by being born and growing up to
be twenty-one years old in the United
States. If he bad succeeded in what he
set out to do. be would have succeeded by
an sppest tosectarian tut and sectional
hat, which are as low pissions as sny low
politician ever tried to stir op. If he bad
succeeded, therefore, he would have be

anything but waste four days of good time,

ful operation at Richmond College fur sev
eral years. Two students sre appointed by
ihe faculty to set as commissaries, It is
their duty to buy provisions and to furnish
whatever is necessary for the mess. This
they are able to do with little or no loss of
time from their studies. A dining loom
and kitchen sre furnisLeJ by the faculty.
A lady is employed ss housekeeper, who
takes charge ol ibo tabla and cooking ar
rangements Sue presides in the dining
hall, and with the aid of the commissaries
fee tbst order is preserved and that the ser
vants do their duty. Each member of the
mess is requireJ to pay into the common
fuud $10 per month, snd at tbe end of etch
month a strict account is rendered and a
