Good .9drice to Fo,ilh From work by
Rev. Hosea ilildreth, Of Gloucester, recently
published.
cit is highly important. my young friends,
that you early acquire aud establish habits
oil economy IN matters OF expense. Il Is i'm
portant TO your eEn personal weliare-to
yoar success in the world, as well as TO The
welfare of your country. Young people are
apt to entertain extr,yagant and absurd no
ti0us of hfe--to estimate their enJoyments by
the money they cost 20 choose enjoymenis
which are expensive, ana connected with
display But you may depend upon it, the
most valus bic enjoyments are easily obtain
cd, they cost but little money, and are within
the reach of all, of the poor as well as OF the
rich. 1t persons design is to secure such
privileges and eajoyments only as are con-
nectcd with virtue, with sobriety, intellectual
improvement, ard elevation eff character he
may carry his design into operation with vc-
~ limited funds. Ii is dissipation, sensual
enjoynents, which have no oIai tendency
1t such enjoyments as these that cost mo-
ney, and very often put young persons upon
disagreeable & dishonorable expedients to
