Show Trne Economy of Life. The true economy of human life looks at ends rather than incidents, and adjusts expenditures '.o a moral scale of values. Tbe real . w;istes of life are not those men prate about most volubly aod condemn in censorious censo-rious tones. DcQuincy pictures a woman sailiug over th3 water, but awaking out of sleep to find her necklace neck-lace untied and one end hanging in the stream, while pearl alter pearl drops from the string beyond her reach; while she clutches at one just falling another drops beyond recovery. Our days drop one after another from our too careless holding, like pearls from a string as we Bail the bea of lile. Prudence requires a wise husbanding of lime to see that none of these golden coins struck in tbe mint of God's own eternity are spent for nolhing. The waste of time is a more serious los.-i than the extravagance against which there is huch loud acclaim. Here are thousands who Jo nothing but lounge and carouse from morning Jtill midnight the I drones in the human hive, who con- j sume and waste the honey honejt workers wear themselves out iu miik- i ing and insult the day by their dissipation dissi-pation and debauch. Here aro ten thousand idle, frivolous creatures, who do nothing but consume and wear and waste what honest hands accumulate, accu-mulate, and entice others to lives as useless and worthless as their own. Were every man an I woman honest toilers, all would have an abundance of everything aud half of everyday for recreation and culture. The expenditure ex-penditure of a few dollars for articles of taste and vtriu is a small matter in comparison with the waste of months and years by. thousands who have had every advantage society could offer, aud exact every privilege it affjrds as a right.
