The Demon of Speculation. Tlie foul demon of speculation keeps us all in a turmoil ; society1 seethes ami bubbles over "with the excitement due to the constant race for riches ; to tlie struggling pursuit of more -wealth. Thte. is common to all classes. Farmers unci country dwellers are tempted to send their small Barings to be swallowed up in tbe whirlpool of speculations in the cities, and in the vain hope of acquiring riches that have never existed, and which they can no more secure than they can grasp a shadow. The business man aiid the man "who possesses already a snug competence haste tb throw their prop erty away in the same foolish manner to be swallowed up in the' bottomless maw of speculation. And so the "wrecked hopes and fortunes may be counted by the thousands, and crime, ignominy and wretchedness are present everywhere. In a less degree the evils of overliving, too, prevail, and men and families mourn for want of that which-they have unwisely squandered and wasted in a way that brings no solid comfort to them. There is no happiness in living beyond one's means. Those who have-no debts, who pay as they go and make this their rule, are more careful and economical than these who buy on credit whatever they may desire or think they need. Buying on credit is our national bane, an evil which Baps the foundations of our social comfort. It keeps a man in debt, increases his expenses, makes his necessities greater, and tempts him to rink his property in vain efforts to extricate himself, from pecuniary difficulties.! It is quite easy to spend what we have not ; but a man alwaysthinks twice before he breaks upon a small accumulation which he already has, and will rather add to it than trench upon it. Therefore the habit of saving, once created, is' a safeguard against careless spending and should be encouraged iu every legitimate and pn per way. There is an economy that is mean nnd stingy ; but it is very easy to avoid this fault without falling into tho opposite vice of extravagance, and to hit the happy mean of a sensible and whole-. some economy. -r-lixtral New Yorker. Where False Hair Come From.' Several tons of iuiv hair are annually exerted -from France to England and ( Jermuny.
