The civilized man is distinguished from the savage by his ability and disposition to look forward to the possibilities of the future. So also is the wise man distinguished from the fool by the willingness with which he makes provision-by present sacrifice if need be—for the varied emergencies which the experience of others teaches him may also be the lot of himself. Cicero says that "the best source of wealth is economy," and it will also be readily admitted that it is likewise the best source of comfort, selfrespect and independence. But the wealth attained by economy-or, indeed, by any other honest means—needs prudence and intelligence to look after its safety. “Prudence," it has been well said, "provides for the worst-it provides for the incidence of failing health, and for the chances of losing through one of the many eventualities of life, worldly position, or the means of breadwinning; and it also does much to provide for that time when the anxieties, the joys, and the sorrows of life shall be hushed ir death.” Prudence may, indeed, be said to be the complement not only of economy in securing success in life, but also of success achieved through any other means. The success of the business man is, of course, measured by dollars in some shape or other; that of the professional man-doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc.—during life is measured by his ability and reputation ; that of the salaried man by the income resulting from his business aptitude and faithfulness to the trust reposed in him. Yet, in every case, unless prudence be exercised in the management of one's personal affairs, the completeness of that for which we all are strivingsuccess in life—cannot be attained. But it is not until “that time when the anxieties, the joys, and the sorrows of life shall be hushed in death,” that a true estimate of a man's success in life will be possible. At that time the business man's affairs may be found to be hopelessly involved; the professional and salaried men (as is too often found to have been the case), having lived in ease and comfort, but forgetful, or neglectful, of their obligations regarding the future of their families, may have left them at this distressing crisis reduced to comparative penury. It is at this time only, we repeat, that a true estimate of a man's success in life will be possible; it will ineritably be made, too, in the comments of friends and neighbors, and, moreover, it is not likely, under the circumstances, to be very comíorting to the bereaved ones or complimentary to "the dear departed.” It will then be said, and justly said, how easily these distressing results might have been avoided by the presence of a little ordinary prudence and the remembrance of a solemn duty.
