CURTAILMKNT OF EXPENSES. Now, now, now not next week not to-morrow H the time for every man to commence curtailing his expenditure. Among all the onuses for the pecuniary distress which now weighs like Rn incubus upon the country, that of private prodigality, or individual outJay, seems, to have been strangely overlooked. As all men cat and drink more than is requisite for their health, so all men yes, all men spend more money than is necessary. Even the miser has his luxury the old crone who sits by the decayed embers of a desolate health, drawing closely about her from the tattered remnant of a mantle, has her luxury, for the pipe of the one and the snuff box of the other inijht be advantageously dispensed with. That class of mankind who are blessed with simple competence, spend much more on luxuries than they can well a (Ford. In times, when provisions are not scarce, and money is readily obtained upon fair papci of honest men those who are prospering may be excused for a few extraordinary indulgences. II it in a season like the present, iu man i excusable, who docs not tctreneh his expenses down, to a respectable and e enfortable support of those who ure dependent on him for subsistence. It is the duty of the capitalist to make ue of his large means in reliovhifj tho distressed, in preventing extortion, in preserving the conii l-:i.'o of trade. Men must be alilieired with a strange obliquity of vision win can regard the operations of many capitalists of these days, without detestation of that depravity which renders them willing to luxuriate on superfluous gains wrung from the dire nueeisiii )-? of the needy. The robber who besets th.jj traveller who demands his money or iis lite, is condemned to the most ignominous punishtuent; but the sharper who say 'your money is your ruin.' is not only tolerated but commended." Men of wealth can by a little self-denial increase their wealth with honesty, and by quenching that spirit or competition so iatal to people of small resources, be doing good at the same time. J hit to such we would not address an appeal. "e would appeal to all those, who, possessed only a competent income, aic still living without consideration of cxpeijsj. We would warn them to beware of that future distress of which we are now hearing eloquent warnings. In these days, no property can be regarded as safely productive to any thing approaching its real value. Heal estates mast fall, bank stocks are every day impaired by constant failures of the most creJabte mercantile houses, and other corporate holies are suffering severely for wantof means with w hich to carry on their operations. Every man's income, whether derived iYom investments, business, ,u- in stocks, must be diminished. The first step towards preventing private an I general distress, is an immediate curtailment of individual expenditure. My the exercise of a little decision, this can be ea-ily done. 1st Let the people give up throwing away money at places of public, entertainment. Mow much is expended at theatres, which causes domestic inconvenience? As we must have amusement, let us seek for it from lasting sources. I'or two or three hours of unhcalthful excitement at the theatre, a dollar is paid and only one individual is gratified. I'or the same dollar, one or two books might be purchased, which would yield a more agreeable entertainment to twenty people. Uiy. A great deal too much money is expended for

A butcher, about to lull a cow, employed an Irishman to hold her. The butcher squinted, and when looking at the cow appeared to look at the Irishman.
