Be Economical.
•
;The'man who, commences early' life to
practice economy, is: always a successful man.
Those who take care of cents soon have doll
lats. The small, uatiece. , ..e,ary expenditures are
What keep so many men poor, and at toil. all' .
their lives. It is really . astonishing .to find.
how few men and.wiimeit think it a duty to
be economical when. the world goes snioothly
and prosperou , ly With them. Whilek it .is
I rare to find a person who would- not - . terh 'to
be rich, it is easy folind pemns with.ahun
11ant opportunitiesor - Ato will pot strive to be
independent: and prepared for -the little vicis
,
Situdff. of life. • • • • I •
• •
Some love display, and will .even run. into
,debt to gratify their foolish, passions. Others
- go on the principle } if living . while they can,.
and banish all thotthts of bad times, sickness
or old age. Others : again, contract bad .or
expensive habits, and rather than make an at
tempt to , •et, rid of them, submit to their tyra
ny,' and le.i.elve themselves with a plea that
they are neee'ssary to the full enjoyment of
life. But the full enjoyment of life consists•
inliVing wisely and rationally. 1 Tratisient
plosures can be purchased too dearly,. and
, . •
for hours of rioutous. enjoyment,ldays and
m o nths of r.lisery • and •pain • tatty be the
fruits.'
. He will enjoy life must Who unaerates his
desires and - economizes the rew4rds of his .
toil. He .a
ill be freer from apprehensionsand.
,will have.less regrets.to disturb "his happier
moment's'. No one may • anticipate • that 'his
path through life will' be lighted by continual
sunshine. This year ma*. be a pro4)erous one,
the next may be thy: reverse. The mechanic
who.now has ' abundant "work land good wa

1 out a provider. Aid so it . ,is of every one
I who earns his bread4lybis own lor.. It.is,.
therefore,-their duty to" e. economical while,

' small may be the .saving each W ' ee lt, it -will
. •
