FACTS TO BE REMEMBERED
T'HK MBN who are rich to-day, were
* in aloe caaea ont of ten. poor In
early life. Their earning* were at first
very small, bnt their expepses were still
less; the difference was carefully saved,
deposited in some sale place, made to
yield interest, and thus foundations were
slowly and securely laid for large accu
mulations. Jt is in this way that the
money has been raised to pay for com
fortable dwellings owned and occupied,
in so many caaea, by the industrious,
inn-bronzed and' hard-hassled artisans
and farmer* of our State.
"Luck," "good fortune” land "good
/tars" have bad much lass to do with it
than many imagine. When a be
gin* ten spend less than he nukes, his
"good fortune" begins, bis "lock” favors
him, and bis "star” looks smilingly down
npoa him.
Banka an admirably calculated to
produce such results. When one has
money by him be is constantly .tempted
to spend it for articles not absolutely
necessary, and is often indneed to invest
it In hurarlea and amusements absolutely
pernicious. II, however, he every week
or every month deposits it in Chink it
wiD, like s plant in s garden, increase
and multiply when ha sleeps, and grow
horn year to year—a comfort to him when
well; bis dependence and rapport hi sick
ness and in the decline of Hie, end per
haps. ultimately after bis death the means
of saving his wife and children from want •
and wretchedness.
It is generally a multitude of small
expenditures that keep men poor, so It
is the small savings that make them rich.
The little coral insect slowly but sorely
leys the foundations for islands and con
tinents. Apparently, insignificant means
prod ace all the vast results of art and
nature. The same law prevail! la se
curing n competency-or accumulating a
fortune. The cents soon become dollars,
the dollars speedily increase to hun
dreds, the hundreds to thousands, and
thus in a few yean; without much effort,
the poor and perhaps friendless young
man becomes rich, and wields that influ
ence and power which money always
commands.
