A small sum is disregarded, yet a lar ger one is only several smaller ones united Unless little sums are laid together, how can there be a great onc;! Suppose a person saves a cent, a day ; at the end of the year he has $3 Go or at ihe end of thirty years he has a bout SI 00, including interest. How easy it is for every man io save a cent a day. How ma ny can save len cents a day, $3G 50 a year; or about $1000 in twenty years, including in terest. He who spends six cents upon some idle fancy: for instance in drinks, cigars, fruits, &c, should at the same lime reflect, that he thus throws away the interest of a dollar a year. Are there not often occasions in the course of the day, when a person spends six cents or one which he might avoid without feeling the worse forlt ? There go his "ten cents a day his $1 000 the very interest of which would perpet ually a fiord him and his heirs a clean income of St50 per annum. Many grow rich by saving, with very little facility for earning. Some old men have al ways lived well, and are very rich b' mere sa ving who did not earn so much daily as their neighbors. They did not foolishly buy things that they could just as well do without;, and therefore have money to lend while ojhors are obliged to borrow. But join industry, and wealth accumulates fast.
