The Science of Saving.
If any who road these lilies are conscious
(hat their pockets arc made of such materials
that whatever money is put. into them will
hum a hole until it gets out, I would advise
them, whenever they take the air, to leave
their money at home, or better still, to keep
an exact account of every penny they spend.
It is astonishing how foolish small extrav
agances appear, when they have to be put
down in black and white, after the tempta
tion to indulge in them is over. And they
must he put down in detail, and notconveni
colly classed together under the general
headingoD'sundries.’’ The item “sundroies”
is never admitted into well kept household
accounts. No one who lias not tried it would
believe what a check it is upon personal ex
penditure to keep a thorough account of mon
ey spent, and not only a check, but a help;
for prices may be compared, and thus lessons
learned from experience.
Generally speaking, whenever large savings
have been made, they have been effected in
little sums. Very few persons of ordinary
honesty, deliberately set to work to make
large purchases which they cannot afford,
aid yet numbers spend just as much in the
long run in little things that they scarcely
think worthy of notice. It is very didicult
to realize fully the value of small sums. If
the pennies and half-pennies that lie loose in
the pockets were properly appreciated, there
would not be so much pecuniary embarrass
ment in the worltl as there is. *• Many a
little makes a muckle this is true of nothing
more than half-pennies and pennies.
These little savings, as a rule, must be
made in personal expenditure more than in
anything else. What is spent over the house
hold is generally needed, but the small per
sonal luxuries which cost so little arc not.
And when any saving is made in this way,
the money should be put aside as saved, in
stead of being mixed with the spending fund,
and additions made to it as frequently as
possible ; that will make you understand as
soon as anything what small economies
amount to. When money is put aside to be
saved, it.should he put in some place where
it cannot he directly got at. I cannot speak
too highly of the savings bank for this pur
pose. The very fact that a little trouble
and formula has to be gone through with
before it can be obtained, prevents it being
spent many a time when it most certainly
would be were it close at hand. 1 have said
that what was spent for the household was
generally necessary outlay, and yet there are
two or three ways in which money can be
saved here teat I should like to mention.
The first is by buying in large quantities.
Of course the danger is when there is a stock
of things to “ run at,” as the servants say,
they will he extravagantly used. All that I
can say on this point is, that they must not
be “ run at.” A proper quantity must be
portioned out and the rest put away. Then
it will lie found that articles may l e bought
both cheaper and better in larger quantities
than in small ones.
Another way to save expense is to pay for
everything as you get it. If you do this you
•avoid overcharge, and will buy far less. If
the money had to be paid at the moment,
many an unnecessary purchase would he
.avoided. .People who have limited incomes
-are those who can least afford to live on credit,
and unfortunately they do it more than any
others.
Before I conclude, I must say one word of
warning in reference to small economies.
We continually read in the newspapers of
people who die in.misery and poverty, who
have perhaps received help from the parish;
•and after their death, money is found, which
they have hidden in all sorts of odd nooks
and corners. With these unfortunates, sav
ing has become a mania; of all manias I
think it is one of the most deplorable, for
after all, money in itself is absolutely worth
.nothing—it is only valuable for vviiat it can
procure. If it will only bring comforts and
necessaries for those we love while we are
able to work, and secure independence for
ourselves when we cannot do so, it is worth
tin ill economies, forethought., hard work,
energy, care, and self-denial. But even gold
is bought too dear when the desire for it is
allowed to overpower every other feeling.—
Russell’s Magazine.
Philosophy of Living.
Men and women should remember that
pure water is the only natural beverage, and
that, under ordinary circumstances, the adult
man or woman does not require more than
twenty-four ounces of it In twenty-four hours ;
that of solid food not more than one-third
need be of the animal muscle feeding class,
leaving the vegetable, starchy', and oily or
beat supplying substances to make up the
remaining two-thirds ; thr.tthe foods should be
cooked so asjto be freed of their rawness,
without being reduced to tenderness, or
shreds, or hardness, by over-cooking : that the
foods should be themselves pure and of
healthy origin ; that the division of food by
meals should be into three periods, at times
of equal length, and of about five hours’ du
ration, and that the gratification of the gus
tatory sense should be made secondary to tho
actual requirements of the body' fi,r its ali
ment—should, in fine, lie kept as neutral as
is the taste of the young child who feeds on
the most neutral of all foods—milk. Ifthese
rules wore remembered and acted upon, with
out divergence into feasts for indulgence or
fasts for penance, the national health would
make an advance that would lead to the de
velopment of a race constructed for an enjoy-
Client of happiness which, except in the im
agination of the poet, has had no existence
on earth since paradise was lost.— Echange.
The States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Oeorgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and
Texas are known as the cotton States, since
jthe cultivation of cotton absorbs the labor
jof the husbandman in that region of our coun
try. The total population of the ten States
in 1870 was 8,272,223. The close of the war
found them impoverished. Their property
was destroyed. We of the North next over
ran them with carpet-baggers, who stole from
them, interfered with their State governments,
oppressed them in many ways. The inhabi
tants of the cotton States waited as patiently
as they had fought courageously, and at last
regained the control of their own affairs.
From that time the onward march of the cot
ton belt towards the most unprecedented
prosperity has not faltered for an instant.
The year of 1878 was a prosperous one for
fhem, and they justly rejoiced over the reeult.
For the year ending on June 30, 1879, the
domestic exports from the United States
amounted in value to a total of $7>17,093,777.
Of this vast sum the ten cotton States, with
their scanty population, are credited with
$162,304,250 lbr their cotton alone. Over
twenty-two per cent, of the value of our ex
portations was received for a crop grown by
Jess than twenty per cent, of our population.

Love in a Graveyard.
Several years ago a young lady and a
young gentleman of Amerieus had a tender
passion for one another, which might have
culminated in a joining of hearts and hands.
The parents of the girl objected to the young
man on some frivil >us charge, and thereby
forbade their meeting, but this interdict only
gave zest to their stolen interviews. One
hot Summer afternoon the lovers •* met by
chance” in the old cemetery and were sitting
quietly on a slab talking 'their sentimental
nothings when they saw the girl’s father
coming up. The young fellow saw it would
be too late to make his exodus from the place
without defection, so he moved tlm slab from
over the side stones and slipped in on top
of the grave, replacing the stones after. Tho
girl’s father came up and sat down by her
side upon the slab, and stayed there talking
to her two or three hours, while the young
man inside the tomb had to endure a heat
nearly as hot as Tartarus. lie was on the
point several times of begging for
but. fearing his girl might have a severe re
primand, he held his peace. About sun down
the girl accompanied the old man home, and
the 3’oting fellow crawled out of his prison in
a most ludicrous plight. After that he was
shy of the girl. The grave had done more to
diminish his love for the girl than all the
commands a father and mother could have
imposed in a lifetime. 110 is still single,
but the lady has been married two or three
years.— Amerieus (Ga.) Republican.
The wisdom of the German postal and tel
egraph authorities in determining to connect
Berlin with the chief cities of the empire, by
means of a system of underground telegraph
wires, has been fully confirmed during the
severe weather recently prevailing. When
the violent storms of wind and snow have,
in many districts, been the cause of constant
stoppages in the talegraphic communication
between places connected by overground
wires, the traffic between towns connected
by subterranean lines has gone on through
the worst. A considerable extension of the
underground system is looked upon as prob
able both in Germany and other Continental
countries.
“Come here my lad,” said an attorney' to
a hoy about nine years old. The boy came
and asked the attorney what case was to be
tried? The lawyer answered, “A case be
tween the Pope and the Devil, which do you
think will he most likely to gain the action?”
File bo}' replied. “I guess it will be a hard
squeeze—the Pope lias the most money, but
the devil has the most lawyers.”

■ During the coming year—a year that will wit
ness the progress and culmination of the most in
teresting political contest that has ever taken
place in this country —every citizen and every'
thoughtful person will be compelled to rely' upon
the newspapers for information. Why not get the
best? Abroad The Constitution is recognized,
referred to and quoted from as the leading south
ern journal—as the organ and vehicle of the best
southern thought and opinion—and at home its
columns are consulted for the latest news, the
freshest comment, and for all matters of special
and current interest. The Constitution con
tains more and later telegraphic news than any
other Georgia paper, and this particular feature
will be largely added to during the coming
All its facilities for gathering the latest news from
all parts of the country will be enlarged and sup
plemented. The Constitution is both chroni
cler and commentator. Its editorial opinions, its
contributions to the drift of current discussion, its
humorous and satirical paragraphs, are copied
from one end of the country to the other. It aims
always to be the brightest and the best—newsy,
original and piquant. It aims particularly to give
the news impartially and fully, and to keep its
readers informed of the drift of current discussion
by liberal but concise quotations from all its con
temporaries. It aims, m short, to more than ever
deserve to he known as “ the leading southern
newspaper.” Bill Arp will continue to contribute
his unique letters, which grow in savory humor
week by week. 44 Old Si” will add his quaint fun
to the collection of good things, and “ Uncle Re
mus” has in preparation a series of negro myth
legends, illustrating the folk-lore of the old plan
tation. In every respect The Constitution for
ISSO will be better than ever.
The Weekly Constitution is a carefully ed
ited compendium of the news of the week, and
contains the best and freshest matter to be found
in any other weekly froiff a daily office. Its news
and miscellaneous contents are the freshest and
its market reports the latest.
