s. 1t is very apt TO be the case that man
would do a great many good things 1t he
we're so and so situated, but that trouble
some word if Is apt to interfere with his
good intentions. HIS professions are the
most patriotic and praiseworIhy kind
hearted, the most generous the most be-
nevsent man in the world, if it were not
for certain things which intervene 10 pre-
vent the lutiIment of his noble designs.
If were a merchant, says one, would
always transact all my business IN the
most honorable way; would never
take advantage Of another would deal
honestly with all would accumulate q
fortune, and would cave my children
independent of the world
If were farmer, would devote my
whole attention to the cultivation OF the
soil would raise the largest crops OF
wheat, the greatest number OF bushels OF
potatoes to the acre, the largest cabbage
heads, and | would have the neatest and
best managed farm in the town
If we're a rich man, would approprl-
ate all my surplus income to charitable
purposes.
Ii we're a lawyer, | would always
plead the cause OF the poor and oppressed,
and would deduct large amount oil the
fees Tor my services. | would go against
oppression IN all cases, whether 1t would
subserve my interest or not /; | would act
for the general good Of mankind, regard
less of self interest," | would make my
own emounents secondary 10 that OF all
others.
If we're a tailor, ! would not take
more than a reasonable quantity oil cab
bage, and | would always have gar
; meat done and sent home al the time
promised 1t.
; If we're a physician, would Away
attend upon the poor gratIs, and | WOOL
not charge half SO much Tor feeling IN
pulse or extracting tooth as the regula
practitioners do. | would devote my
time aud services for the benefit OF tn
pubic generally.
I'll we're a mechanic, would devote
all my attention TO my profession, and
would always punctuaIIy execute all the
orders sent TO me.
Ii | were soaplock, | would have the
scissors applied to my hair at once, and
not suffer myself to appear like hermit
or a shaggy bear, or a thIe VINO mas los
his ears and strives to cover The part
When they ought to be with Superlncum
bent quantity of capillary ornaments
1t | were lady, | would be attending
to the domestic concerns Of the household
and not walking the streets endeavor'ns
TO attract the attention OF the beaux, ane
spinning street yarn when ought TO ot
spinning stocking yarn al home.
Ii | were an editor, | would write L
, please myself, as we'll as my customers
so far as | was able, without the expecta
ton OF always dong the one or the other
If we're a subscriber 10 newspaper
= would always pay for it punctually, an(
/ never find any fault because 1t sometime
happened that there was nothing IN
4, which particularly Interested me-espe
caIly when there was nothing to put II
II.
If were born with gold spoon in m
mouth, would hold on upon 1t, and nc
exchange it for a pewter or an iron one
But that little word IF is apt to be IN tn
way, and to dIsconcert all ones good IN
! tentions and charitable actions, and IF
were not So frequently made proVlso an
! n base to good actions, many more deed
of charity might be accomplished. II
often an excuse for not performing wha
charity would demand-what commo
" sense would dictate-what sense OF DIT
:. ty would require. II were situated
= and so, would do a vast deal OF good
= bu, i, is often the case that a man ca
10 do good deeds and acts Of charity, whlc
I he pretends he would i he we're dltte
= emily situated.
. But without any more ifs or andS, 1t
a certain we can olien do good deed wht
we don't aud if is kind OF general excu'
d for not doing as we ought.--BoSSon iran
