MosEY.-Dow, Jr., in his last sermon il
N. Y. Mercury, says
H My hearers-it is next TO impossible TO keeE
ones self pure and unspotted with digging hl'
way through bedaubing world like this. you
get deep stains upon your character, you mus
\ first wash them well with the tears Of repent
ance, and then dry them in the bright sunshine
| Of good after deeds. But after all is said and
done, money is the stuff to take the grease
spots out Of mans character. u, II works
wonders II can renovate the rustiest of rep
utatons-mend every broken thread in the
woOf of humanity-and not only make as good
as new an old and worn-out character, but put
upon it an extra polish, that shall attract and
fascn the admring gaze of all. Get money,
by all means-get it honestly, if thou canst,
as the man advised his son-but, by all means,
get money. With it you are respected, though
you be the devil himself; without it, you are
kicked, cuffed and jostled aside, even though
every angelic virtue were yours, and your
heart were crowded with all the requirements
that constitute man and a gentleman. Con-
trive to get enough of the filthy lucre and your
characters are safe. At any rate, you can
putty up the cracks with it as fast as your de-
famers can make them.
NV worthy friends-I'll tell you what you
ought to be. You ought to live so that no
money will be required to back your good name
and fame. Your constant habits and daily
practices should be such as to need no such
evil auxiliaries as dollars and cents to secure
you an unblemished reputation. But, as
have said before, money is the stuff. Get up
early, 90 to work, and get that, and your char
acters are safe. By getting up early, going to
work, and earning money, you secure health,
accumulate wealth, and acquire wisdom.
