.Aduics TO The Industrious Poor The
following rules embracing friendly ad-
vice TO the industrious poor or how to
make much of little in times Of scarcity,
were originally published many years
since. But the character of mankind, or
of the times, have not materially changed
since then--and we now republish them
for the benefit of those of our readers
whom they may concern -
!. The poor man who roasts or broils
his meat-throws it half into the fire.
9. The poor man who boils it-throws
half away in the water.
8. The poor man who turns it all into
broth, with little flour, oatmeal, rice or
peas, according to their price, wants the
less bread, aud has twice the quantity for
his money.
A. Herbs, such as carrots, celery, tur-
nips, and some cabbage and onions but
especially Ieeks, if first fried until little
brown in the fat, from the broth, and then
boiled therein, will make rich feast at
small expense
s. Onions are the best Of herbs. The
idolatrous Egyptians worshipped them !:
Better worship them than the rum bottle.
6. The poor always get the best penny
worth who buy where most sit together in
the open market and bargains are al
ways cheapest at the latter end of the
day. When honest men have done their
work, better 60 TO market than the ale
house.
Z. The poor who deal on trust may ex-
pect TO be grievousy shaved for many
shopkeepers suppose they mean TO cheat
them.-The ready money always fetches
the best bargains.
8. They that can scarce keep them
selves or child, should never keep n
dog,
8. Rum is poison he that drinks it
gives himself false spirits for while, and
rots his liver all the while. Ifa rum man.
ufacturer be not the greatest enemy to
he public, rum drinker is the greatest
enemy 20 himself and family.
10. One penny worth OF broth, milk, or
even water cruel to hard working man
in the morning, is worth twelve penny
worth of tea. If tea be good to them
that eat too much, it is ruin TO them who
eat too little.
IL. The complaint is, Times are hard!
Why then make them harder still A
good man in bad times will live ten times
better than bad man in good times.
10. The poor mans profit is to be
found in his time. Aud lost time is never
to be found again. Laziness travels slow;
but poverty soon overakes it.
13. Industry will make man a purse,
and frugality will give him strings to it.
This purse v i'll cost him nothing They
that nave it will only draw the strings as
frugality directs, and will always find a
useful penny at the bottom oft
IA. The servants Of industry are known
by their livery, it is always whole and
Wholesome. Next look at the ragged
slaves of laziness, and then ask, who
serves the best master.
10. They who provide you with cheap
food, in time Of severe want, request
you above all things to remember, that
the fear OF God in poor man's houae, is
little estate. SHINING is an expensive
trade ask those that practice it.
l6. The fear of God will make mna
think well, and act well and when he
needs it, God will provide him friend -
