----------------------- BE ALWAYS BUSY.

The more a man accomplish es, tke more he may. An active tool never grows rusty. You always find those men who are the most forward to do good, or to improve the times or manners, always busy. Who start our railroads and our steamboats- our machine shops and our man. ufactories 5? Men ofindustry and enterprise. As long as they live, they keep at work doing some thing to benefit themselves and others. fa
 Its just so with a man who is benevolent. The more he gives, tue more he feels like giv. ing. Let a man squeeze out a sixpence now and then for the contribution box, and he will do no more no matter how rich he may be. But let him give his dollars, and so he will con. tinue to do. 1
 We go for activity--in body, in mind, in purse, in every thing Let the gold not grow dim, nor the thoughts become stale Keep all things in motion. We would rather that death should find us scaling a mountain than sinking in the mire--breasting a whirldwind, than sneaking from a cloud. -snSsho
