BUY ONLY WHAT YOU WANT. To buy nothing you do not want, is a| maxim as old almost as society itself. But it is also one that is continually slipping out of mind, and which cannot, therefore, be brought forward again too frequently.— Spending money, in fact, is a vice common to human nature. When one man degrades himself by being a miser, ten run constant! jieril of ruining themselves by extravagance, It is so fine to have elegant furniture, to] live in a handsome hou-=e, or to dress one's wife and children in a rich apparel, that itrequires an unusual degree of firmness, cspeciallv in this prosperous age, to resist the temptation. Jf everybody was compelled, to pav cash for such gratifications, there would be some slight check on this t^i lency to useless expenditure. But credit is so easily obtained in this country, and buyers are so sanguine of being ready when settling dav comes, that thousands of families are induced annually to cripple their future comforts, bv indulging in present follies.— Half the men who reach old age impoverished, and perhaps even a greater number, owe their dependant condition, at that saddest of all times lo bo beggared, to early exextravagance t-

If we were to buy only what we wanted, this would not be. We are far from recommending a niggard!}' parsimony for one of the purposes of wealth is that it should be distributed in encouraging trade and the arts. But still even the wealthiest, with few exceptions, frequently buy what they do not want while those less favored incessantly violate this golden rule. The preacher, lawyer or physician, attracted by some new and costly book, persuades himself that his profession requires lie should have it, and spends on it a turn that he often needs for more necessary purposes before the vear is over. The wife, charmed bv a new style of dress, lavish.es away her money, is delighted for a while, but lives to repent it, if she is a woman of sense.— The father, proud of his daughter, thinks no expense too great to gratify her whims. The young man, fond of horses, does not stop to count the cost when coveting a famous trotter. The fashionable couple, who like to be surrounded with mirrors, pictures and fine furniture generally, squander money disproportionately on such costly grewgaws. Yet all learn, sooner or later, to regret what they have done, since lliev find they have added nothing to their happiness, as tens of thousands have discovered before, after buying what tlit did not really want.

Dr. Franklin's homely storv about the whistle would be well to be remembered by us all. It is not enough that a purchase gratifies us at the time. To be a judicious expenditure, it should be such a one as we can recur tj afterwards with satisfaction.— If Mrs. A., when she moves into her new house, spends so much money on furniture that her husband's dinners suffer by it, is lie not paying too dear for his whistle? If Mrs. B. gives so elegant a party to her friends that the housekeeping is stinted all the rest of the winter if Mrs. C\, by going to Cape May with her daughters, makes such an inroad on her husband's salary that his old coat has to last another winter: if Mrs. D.'s piano for that prodigy, "Our Marianne," takes the earnings of whole weeks —what is all this but paying too dear for the whistle Whenever we buy what we don't want, we deprive ourselves of things we real Iv require. To be wise is to err, if anything, on the other side. If we deny ourselves a little, if we learn to buy nothing until we are sure we want it, we shall both avoid its perils and extravagance and discipline our characters. Amid the hurry and temptations of this prosperous age it is well to recall occasionally these old maxims of prudence and wisdom. Time thus spent is not wasted.—Dollar Xcicspopcr. ,f
