The good sense, the practical wisdom, and
the fine turn of expression, made deep
impression upon me, and it may be useful
TO Young men just starting In lie to read
the practical philosophy of one 20 years
old, who is rapidly building a name and
character for time, by the exact obserV-
ance of one single principle:
"We have been expecting you out here
all the spring. We have no trouble, be-
cause we live upon the true and only Prln-
chile which secures peace. honesty, and
independence-PAY AS YOU GO. There
i nothing like this in the whole roll of in.
ven,ions to secure ease in living. 1t takes
but one half the money. one halt the
time, one half the patience, one hall the
foresight not one cent OF interest: 1t

To 90 it stricty-but Pay as You Gro has
made all our great fortunes-has made

not made christians, it has obvhte heaps
of sins. Now have based my outdoor

not envy the great mans fireslde, or the
