narrowness and poverty of soul, ever impa-

lastly, whether from natural cruelty of
disposition, distracted from all views and
considerations of self: to which one, or
whether to all jointly, we are indebted for

REMEDY FOR HARD TINES.

OF all the remedies for "hard times" that
have yet met our observation, the best is
contained in the following anonymous para
graph, which appears in one of our nume-
rous exchange papers -
"When you are obliged to obtain credit
for your stock, be very careful to whom
you apply, as a creditor who is himself sin
the screws" may ruin you. Never get cred
it for small sums-nor for any sum in diff
fercnt places-beher owe at one place, and
to owe one man. Every man to whom you
owe five dollars will trouble you as much,
if not more, than the one to whom you
owe hundred. 1t is easier to satisfy one
man than twenty. Give to your best GUS
toners only short credit, and when it has
expired collect promptly. BE diligent in
your business-iaithlul in your word, mod
crate in your expenditures-temperate in
your habits-justin your dealings-moral
in your principle-get married to a good
grl-aud you may defy lawyers, sherihs,
duns, prisons, and almost the blue devils" I"
