A peek of corn a week, with a sprinkling of salt, ia sufficient to sustain hamen life, and enable a working man to prosecute a la borious business. Thia is demonstrated in some porta of out country, where, through the illiberality of luxurious - masters, the slaves are limited to this allowance. Yet it il sufficient to give them health and strength for laborious service. The cost of thia will be from 7 to $14 a year for each person. Two suks of clothes will be adequate to meauho ner These will cost from 90 to 60, for a mate rial that is stout, warm, and durable. When we speak of our neceuiliei, they are thus summed up. Add twice the sum for contin gencies and luxuries, and you have the av erage of $100 a year to supply each person with food, clothing, and 'he ordinary com forts of life. In reply to all objections to this esiiinate, let it be," once for all, stated, that thousands yea millions of the human family aWe the differing poor, verify it in actual experiment. Dut if thia be consider ed a'too close calculation, you may extend it somewhat to your liking, and theu what a vast chasm is presented between it and the ordinary expenditures of many families at the present day, who are living on borrowed capital, and maintain a factitious atyle on credit. These statements are worthy of regard, as well for their intrinsic truth, as for res- pert to the source whence they have been cerivt4r. I int3nd to gather more from the s 1 No. 40. same place. If carefully trewtrej up, and successfully practiced by the ptttdent house wives ol our country, tliev, will be belter to lite financial operations of every family than froiHl times, or a i .uional Itank, or a car riage and horses. They will constitute a productive and unclu.iijiii!? capital, which no ordinary coniineency can invade. To circumscribe our wanli, is the same as to in-' crcai"0 our wealth, ll is better -inasmuch as a small capital is more easily applied to in appropriate -ne. than huger operations are directed and conlrolle'd.
