yt-urT
Answer Not onu dullurwith a wifo
and two children 1 i'hii only make
both I'tidn meet.
Q .What I Don't stive anything?
A. No, sir; I can hut Jui-t rxint.
Q. I muko it a rule to aoit no one
who d ni'B not suvo annit'thinu; every
year. No matter how smull his puy,
xomulhiiiK should bo saved. How
many cigars do you smoke, and their
cost ?
A. Well, some three a day j cost
ing, tniri'llicr, alioul twenty cents.
Q. Do you K" t the theutrus, and
how ollen, and how many perHonB
with you?
A. I go sumo half doiun times dur
init tho winter with wile and sister,
cnsiinr, including railroad fine, say
130.
Q. Do you drink ardent spirits,
wine, beer, etc. f
A. I xunerully tako two glasses of
whisky daily, and sometimes a glass
of alo with my wifo at tho gardens in
the evening. .
'Do you Buy you cannot save any
thing, while your unnecessary yearly
expense for cigars, drinks, and amuse
nients, by your own showing, cannot
cost less than IJ00? Until you begin
to save, raising your salaiy would do
no good, llegin to day to save, it only
five cents a day. Try saving for six
months, and report to me the result."
An tho end of the time the young
man brought tho merchant bis ex
penso book, showing a clear saving of
8101.20 This induced tho merchant
to tuke hi in cordially hy the band
down to tho institution, and urge tho
President to incrcaso his salary from
f 1 20(1 to 81,500. In another six
months his savings amounted to al
most 8300. Tbo merchant, on this
showing, snid to him: "Young man,
yon are now on the road to wealth
and position, Co down to my brokers
nil ask them to bur 1-0 UIIU worth ol
such and such slock, and I will pay
them and give 3011 tho profits.
This young man is now worth some
830.000 all duo to the saving of the
rsl 1100. Tho merchant, no doubt,
is now uaily made nappy every lime
he sers the institution, hy tho delight
till reflection ol having suved this man
s well as bis family.
1 here arc now hundreds ot (amines
n this city who a'o highly cultivated,
thut do not know where the next meal
s coining Irom. Could they have had
the advice of this old merchant, and
followed it. they would now be in af
fluence, not beggary. Uuly yesterday
a hiirhty respectable lady, with three
young dunghlers, applied for assistance
to buy bread.
lier busiiana nan recently uiod, al
ter enjoyinif a salary for twenty years
of from 82 500 to 83 000. without hav-
inis saved anything. The practical
result ol this cane is, that this lady tor
twenty years has secured every luxu
ry within her reuch, while I am in
debted for all I have now to the do-
niul ot luxuries lor myscll and family.
and am now asked to help support her
nut ot my saving, such as she would
not make tor hersell. ill) nor pres
ent views of economy, she sons bow
she could have lived on hull of his sal
ary. Had she done so, it would
amount to some filly thousand dollars,
the interest of which would have made
her and her children Independent for
lilo. Such cases do not commend them
selves to my charity ; such people
must bo luunlit, hy natural laws, that
Ihcy must save, or be liable to starve.
SUIlVEriNU THE AMAZON.
The employment of ships ef war lor
the lurthurance ot the works of peace
is one of those pleksing facts that mark
the progress of civihaatmn in the right
direction. The Amazon river, as it
drains an immense area of the South
American Continent, serves as a natu
ral highway fur the infant commerce
of that region. Heretofore tbe A ma
son has been a river of which little
was known to navigators. Nulive
pilots were employed to pick a chan
nel amonii the Mind banks ana shal
lows that were found to exist in tho
lower sections of the stream, and but
lew vessels ventured to ascend to
when the great tributaries branched
away Into the interior wilderness.
Now, thanks to the labors ol United
.Slates officers, a careful surrey ol tbe
river has been made to tbe mouth of
the Maderia river, and up that stream
to the limit ol navigation marked by
the Falls ol St. Antonio. 1 he post
lions of all Important points along the
Amazon have been established by care
ful astronomical observations conduct
ed on a very Ingenious system and the
latitude and longitude ol each station
fixed. A meridian, hy means of direct
observation and chronometer time aa
a check, the positions of two stars, one
north and the other south of the
zonith, were found for latitude and of
one east and the other west or moncli
an for lonirilnde. Each station was,
therefore, in astronomioal relation to
tbo four stars, and within the four
sided figure wnnse angles they marked.

CLEARFIELD, PA.,
ENGLAND'S ANTAGONIST.
Althongh the possibility that Kng
land will go into an eastern war this
year is daily lessening, yot there can
not any longer bo much doubt that the
accumulating pressure of tho situation
will force that result as early in the
spring as military operations are prac
ticable. In the meantime it ia not out
of place to consider the odds which
will be opposed to her in the event of
hostilities. In Ibe first place the coun
try in which Shero Ali, the Ameer,
will compel tho .English to carry on
offensive operations, presents nearly
the maximum nnmburot disadvantages
for the operations of modern warfare.
The country ia almost entirely mount
ainnus, and only on the high table
lands which are extremely difficult of
access, is the evolution of a large mili
tary force possible In connection
with the nature of the country must be
taken the character of tho inhabitants.
They amount to len millions in round
Lumbers with perhaps a fighting limit
of men ready equipped tor service of
140.000. Taking their examples from
history, many contented that however
vast the number of untrained Asiatics,
they cannot stand before tho disciplin
ed forces of tbo civilized. The Algbans,
bowevor, cannot be classed among the
common bordo of Asiatics so fur as
martial ability is concerned. These de
scendants of the son ol King .Saul live
by war, and have in history a lo.ig and
by no means dishonorable military rec
ord. Id olden times, when military
genius among the ancients attained its
highest summit, their ancestors were
tried soldiers, and were counted tho
trustiest intunlry in the Persian boston
the day when Alexander of Macedon
overthrew the last Darius on the fatal
field of Arbela. No farther back than
1720 an army of Afghans invaded Per
sia, captured Ispahan and the sultan,
and held tho city for ten years ; then,
being driven out, with a display ot
more than ordinary military atuiity,
mado a safe retreat to their own ter
ritory. Later still they have co-operated
with the liritixb in an attack
against Fersia, and so cannot be judg
ed ignorant ol improved warfare.
Moreover English discipline will not
avail as much iu a war with theso Af
ghans as might naturally be supposed
on account of the nature of the coun
try before referred to. It is no moro
than fair to supposo that il the Afghans
are good soldiers in the open country
thoy may be reckoned on as very for-
nuduble in the mountain districts of
their country. It cannot be doubled
that the native generals will see the
advantage thoy possess in this respect
and will not risk a pitched buttle in
the open country, but will compel ibe
KiiL'linli to carry on tho war aa much
possible in tbe mountains where
their soldiers are most at home. But
whatever the skill of the nativo goner
uls, Sherd Ali will not find itnecessury
to depend entirely on them to carry on
the war. Ilusniu's interest in the
northern boundary of Knglatid's Indian
possessions will be sufficient to secure
bim all tbe military advice neoucu.
Russia is able to supply any number of
competent nflicera lull ol tbo freshest
information Irom a lato victorious war,
and Russian L'old will not fail to sup
ply the Ameer with all tbe needed
equipments of warfare, so thut with
able generals and plenty uf well equip
ped and experienced troops his army
will burdly be loss lormidable in the
open country than in the mountains.
These Ittcts, with many others iiunien-
lioned, go to show conclusively lliut
England will not have a horde ol sav
ages to contend with, but an army of
soldiers that English discipline durus
not despise.
. THE WEALTH OF JOB.
"Thia Baaa we. groareal of ell the men of the
Eal." lob 1 1 t.
At this distance of time, supposed to
be 3 000 years since he exmled, it is
difficult to estimate Job's wealth ; but
as some items are given il may be at
tempted, although the relalivo vnlno
of monoy at tho extremes ot 3.000
years leaves us at a loss to calculate
the precise amount.
1. The extent ot land no owncu may
be found from the support his stock
needed : 7,000 shoop would require a
range ot many acres ; 3.000 camels
would need five acres eucb ; 1.000 yoke
of oxen an equal rango of five acres
with the camels ; 600 asses about two
acres each j and his household, which
was "very great," 2,000 ; In all 30,000
acres. The value ol this amount, at
85 00 per acre, 8150,000.
2. Tbe cost ol Job's cattle 7,uuti
sheep si 82 00 each ; 3,000 camels at
probably f.muu; l.tiuu oxen at eio.uo
each, and 500 asses at tho same price.
This would equal about 8179,0011.
3. To tend ouch vast liords, accord
ing to tho customs of tbe Kast, the
number ol laborers must nave Doon
larire. Abraham, contemporary with
Job, could muster in his own family
retinuo 318 trained men In arms. As
many more must have remained at
home to attend his flocks, etc., when
the patriarch went in pursuit of tho
invaders ol lyot a territory, j oo may
have bad 300 ; the pay and support,
10 000
4. The necessary houses for living
and shelter snd the folds could not be
less than 825.000.
The whole valuo of tbe above would
be (370,000.
All this wealth seems Incredible,
wore it not declared so by the voice of
inspiration. At the close of the book
we are told that even this amount was
duplicated, or 8710 000.
When we compare this with the re
lative present value of money and thut
ot Job s day, his wealth was unnr-
Vious.
Can a Fashionabi.i Uirl si Good f
Have young women of fashion any
time to be good T This was a question
which the Hishop of Manchester asked
in the coarse ol a recent sermon, and
by way of illustration he read a li tter
from a vootiar lady in which an an
count was given of her daily work. "Wo
breaktasl about ten, she wrote.
"Breakfast occupies the best part ol an
hour, during which ws read onr letters
and pick up the latest nows in tne pa
pers. After thai we have to go and
answer our letters, and my mother ex
poets me to write totes of Invitation
or to reply tu suck. Then I have to

MISSIONARY WORK.
A Bible canvasser called into a house
on Macomb street yesterday to see il

girl opened tbo door in answer to bis
knock, and just as he entered a man
silting on the edeof a forlorn-looking

commenced scraping out a tune.
"Have vou a Bible in the bouse?"
asked tho canvasser, as be crossed the

cording to observations made on num

among the superior races the cranium

Lebott's paper, said that if among the

COMMUNISM.
In theory communism is in conflict
ilh the luwsol our being. Wore it
ut in practice il would increase rath
er than diminish the evils ot which its
advocutos complain, and create others
of graver import. As compared with
the present order of things il would di
minish production ani uisiriuuie wnai
would ba produced unjiisiiy. Buys
Herbert Spencer : "A desire for proii-
erty is one of tho elements of our na
ture," and "the right of private prop
erty harmonizes with the human con
stitution as divinely oruainuu- uy
enying this right and holding the pro
uce ot lunor as common siock, uoin-
unism tukes uway one of the strong
est motives lor human effort. To la
bor energetically the lalioror must be
suro of receiving the fruits of his in-
ustry in a lorm which ho cun uppre-
iule as his own. The communistic
idea of equality is also wholly at vari-
nce with the principles on winch la
bor, to work effectively, must be or
ganized and directed. Il is, moreover,
ut variance with tbe principles of equi
table distribution. There is nothing
moro muuilest in tho cnnsliluuon und
course ol nuture than tho law ol divor-
Heation. In tho animal und vegetu-
ble kinizdoma thero havo been found
no tw, orgunismo exactly alike. Of
these millions of human beings, the
eutures ol each one are so unlike tho
features of ull tho others ns to bo dis-
inguishahlo ; and observation and ex
perience prove a similar diversity to
exist in their mental organization and
aptitudes. Now,, to assign to tho ser
vices ol every one an equal vuluo, and
allot to every one an equal share nl'tho
produce ol labor, would bo muniiosiiy
unjust ; and, as Herbert Spencer suys,
"to ascertain tho respective amounts
of help given by different kinds of men

ng t ho general swcr oi tne necessaries

huve no mcuns ol making such a di
vision savo that afforded by the luw of

Harvest never comes to such as sow
not.
What Is moro unhappy than the
happiness of sinners?
Tho pleasure ot lining good is tho
only pleasure thut n-vcr wears out.
lluinun things must be known to be
loved ; but divine things must be loved
to bo known.
I desire, whilo in tho world, to go
with the gospel stream, though s littlo

God promised forgiveness to your
repentance ; but ho bas not promised
a to-morrow to your procrastination.
Ho that will bo a hero will baroly bo
a man ; but bo thai will be nothing but
a door of his work is sure ot his man
hood. ....
Givo a man such a boart as tbo Son
of God describes in tho boatiludos,
and a wbolu universo of sorrow cannot
rob bim ol his blessedness.
The character of a wiso man consists
in three things: To do himself what
ho tells others to do ; to act on no oc
casion contrary to juslico, and to bear
wilh tbo weaknesses ot thoso about
him.
Ah I well it is for us that God is a
loving Father, who tukos our very
prayers and thanksgivings rather tor
what wo mean than lor what they aro ;
just us parents sillilu on tbo trailing
weeds thut their ignorant littlo ones
bring lor flowers.
Tboro is nothing nobler on earth
than luking cure thut "somebody else"
shall not sulfur needlessly. Tho child
who grows up wilh such a spirit al

home in heaven upon earth ; and bo
will nover know wlint it is to be unlov
ed or Iriendless.
But if you bavo to walk with a
crutch or must koep indoors, or sit
wrapped in a loose gown, do noi con
clude you ard u superfluity. Ho who
hears heroically physical distress, and
looks for the sunshine that lulls upon
the sick pillow, will muke a record tbut
will roud well when words are no
more.
Whatever strange and scandulous
eccentricities the ministry has some
times witnessed, this is certainly truo,
and iaalwajsoneou raging, thai no man
permanently succeeds in it who cannot
muko nun ociiovo mat uu is pure unu
devoted, and the only sure and lasting
way to muko men believo In one s de
votion und purity is to bo what ono
wishes to be behoved to bo.
Sing, awect nightongale," said a
shepherd to tho silent Bongstross, on a
lovely evening in the spring. "Ah,"
replied the niglitcngiilo, "the frogs muke
such a noise that I huve lost all pleas
ure in singing; dost thou not boar
them ?" "I bear t'icm indeed," return
ed tho shepherd ; "but thy silence is tho
cause of my hearing them " What a
lesson to Christians 1 1 heir snonce too
often allows the words ol tbe unbeliev
er to bo heard.
It is not tho great sermons thst ac
complish tho most beneficence for the
world, luey are goou in nieir pruees,
but for practical effect tho earnest
heart-instruction that Is given in a
moro familiar ministry is that which,
in the long run, produces tho best re
sult. It is a stood thing to have trees
large enough for masts that shall bear
the flags of tho nations, but more tim
ber is needed for fences and firewood
than for tho navios ot the world. Tho
forests that bring ns cnmlort for our
homes are tho real benefactors.
Holigious activity is but the more
intense play ot tho moral nature, Its
movement under tho lending facts of
our spiritual relations in life. A false
religion is tho most fatal ol anodynes
to the conscientious insight of iho mind,
and times of quiet submi-sion to ibis
external tyranny of priest, ritual and
creed, should bo Instanced, not as ex
amples of the activity of the moral sen
timents, but of their repression and
perversion. Tho fungi that feeds up
on a troo, consuming its native quality,
uro no measure of its own vital force.
Men coma to think that the guilt of
si ns com m i ttod i n concert is d istn bu tod ;
ami thut if thero be a thousand men
bunded snJ handed together in wick
edness, each shall have but tbe one
thousandth part of guilt. If a firm suc
ceeds, the gain is distributed to oach
partner. But if it fails) each one mny
bo hold for the whole loss. Whoever
commits a sin will bear tho sin, wheth
er ulone or with a thousand. Whoev
er commits, or connives at a public sin,
will hour the blame, as if ho ufono did
it. Public guilt always bus private in
dorsement, and each man is liable for
tbo whole note.
Wo heard a man ask the other day,
"When will this incessant begging lor
money" (ho meant for church pur
poses) "cease ? It is call upon call,
now for this, now for that, and I am
siek and weary of it." Tho answer is
as easy as thu question. It will never
cease. Itlsapurt of the law of tho
situation. While there remains a
heathen on earth, an unluithful Chris
tian a siek man soul siek or body-sick
an orpan child, a cripple, an outcast,
a wretched creature anywnero wun
uny wretchedness, iho demands will
still bo made, and they win ami no
answered worso or belter. '
A conlompliblo self consciousness is
the thing which haunts the Christian
worker, and binders tne outcomo oi
his fullest power. It inevitably be-
trays ilsoll ; and when the observer or
listener discovers it, whether it be in
the prcachor who, wilh studied graco
ol gesticulation, rolls off sonorous peri
mis, and whilo apparently pausing for
upnluuse, looks en slter the eiegsnt
sentences ho has launched, very much
as a boy does alter the soap bubbles bo
has blown from bis pipe; or whether
il bo a teacher who, evory now and
then, by somo arllul movement calls
attention to an elegant and elaborate
toilet : the effect is always to excite a
suspicion of bypneriny, and to mar tho
cited ol all the leacuing,
Thero is one peculiarity about deeds,
und thoughts, and words of impurity.
His i he loathsome and stirring tena
city with which thoy cling to tho mind.
Tho vindictive man may become mock,
and not a trace of tho vengeful spirit
remain. Thus il was with Paul, who,
originally ireful and repentful, learned
to say "most gladly will 1 spend and bo
spent for you, though the more ardent
ly I love you, and less 1 be loved."
Unhallowed ambition mny be replaced
by tho deepest humility. But unclean
thoughts onco harbored never leave
the ooul empty, and swept and garn
ished. Tbere'is always a taint. The
gospel converts all sorts of men. But
we believe that the impute man Is tbe
hardest to convert, and believe that
even wbon oonvorted, there remains in
bis nature a rankness ol odor, a coarse
ness ol grain.
