A Nabob's Yisil to New York.

Cnn I Lessen My Expenses! From the PennsylYimiu nnd Labor Tribune.' Few workinginen in Pennsylvania are laying up any money. It takes nil their income to live. A dollar and seventylive cents a day leaves but little, after paying rent nnd subsistence bills. The workman can't lessen the price of Hour, sugar or pork nor the price of calicoes, sheeting, woolens, boots or shoes. These things must be had and paid for. Certain outgoes can't be helped. If these outgoes balance the income right along, there is poverty holding its own. The experience of most working men nowadays is, that after paying rent and provision bills, at the the end of the week they liml they liavo nothing left, mid generally a jguard his unsophistication from mishat, cap, dross or coat unpaid for besides, fortune. They reached San l-'ram-iseo in
