A New Orleans paper tells of a print
er who, when his fellows went out to
drink beer during working hours, put in
the bank the 1 exact amount which he
would have spent if he had, gone out to ,,
drink with them. He kept to his res
olution . for., five years. He then ex
amined his bank account, and found that
he had on deposit ($521. 85. In the five
years he had not lost prie , day from ill
health. Four or five of his fellow-wrork-men
had in the meantime become drunk
ards, were worthless as workmen, and
discharged.- The water drinker bought
a printing office, went on enlarging '
business, and in twenty years : f rom the
time he began to put by his money, wras
worth one hundred thousand, dollars.

care and the doctors' skill have accom
plished their end and he is at present
doing so well that his complete recovery
seems to be but a matter of a very short
