A Chance for Saving. “A penny saved is a penny earned,” is one of Poojr Richard’s proverbs, worth remem bering by old and young. Any of our read ers, when tempted to form the habit of smok ing, will do well to think how much they can save by keeping out of the habit. An ex change furnishes the following moderate estimate of the saving : A young gentleman of our acquaintance concluded to commence smoking cigars on his twentieth birthday, but resolved that he would never exceed eight per week, nor pay more than ten cents each for them, Wo ask ed him to reckon how much money would be saved by the time he was sixty, if he should place the eighty cents per week in the sav ings bank every six months, and let it lie there, drawing seven per cent, interest. Be ing quick at figures,he made the calculation, and found the amount to be eight thousand three hundred and eleven dollars. “Put that in your pipe and smoke it.” young man. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1871. The Wheat Crop of Europe. The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly re view of the breadstuff's market, says: “Bad weather has prevailed throughout the past week, but our farmers have kept a sharp lookout, ami have secured their crops. There are no reports of sprouting, though much wheat was stacked in poor condition, in consequence of high winds and low tem perature. The same weather has ruled on the Continent. This will bring good samples to the front, an 1 increase the value of old stock. There is little difference in prices since last reports, although the tendency is downward. France is sending back here the cargoes shipped hence. The crops here and in France are mostly secure, and the depen dence of both countries on foreigners is ma terially lessened. The latest estimates put our crop at seven per centum below the aver age.” w-OTawmi—ii -if w\ mrnmrn 1 ■ war awoiimrun —mm inirg..-iyt;qgr Am SAM’L P.
