Don't Rum i'm Debt

Doa't run in debt-never mind, never mind,
IF thy clothes are faded and torn;
Fix 'em up, make them so; it is better by far,
Than to have the heart weary and worn
Who'll love you the more for the set of your hat
Or your ruff, orlthe tie of your shoe,
The shape of your vest OF your boots or cravat
lfthey know you're in debt for the new.
There's no comfort tell you walking the street
Eifine clothes, If you know you're in debt
And feel perchance you some tradesman meet
Who will sneer--"They're not paid for yet"
Good friends letme beg you, don't run in debt
If fthe chairs and the so ias are old,
They will fit your back better than new set
Unless they are paid ior-with gold;
1.-THE house is to small draw closer together,
Keepit warm with hearty good will;
A big one unpaid for in all kinds of weather
Will send to your warm heart chill
Don'trun in debt-uow dear girls take a hiut
If the fashions are changed since last season
0!d nature is out in the very same TINT,
And Old Nature, we think has some reason
But just say to your friend you cannot afford
To spend time to keep mp with the fashion 4;
That your purse is to light and honor to bright
To be tarnished with such silly passion
Gents, don't run in debt-your friends ifthey can
Have fine houses, feathers and flowers.
But unless they are paid for be more of man
Than to envy their sunshiny hours.
You have money to spare have nothing to say
Tospend your dollars and dimes as you pleas
But mind you the man who his note has to pay
Is the man who is never at ease.
Kind husbands, don't run in debt any more,
Twill fill your wife's cup full of sorrow,
To know that neighbor may call at your door
With a bill. you must settle to morrow
o, take my advice-itis good, it is true
But lest you may some of you doubt it,
III whisper secret now seeing 't's you--
hare tried it and kaotc all about it.
The chain of a debtor is heavy and cold
Its links a.! corrosion and rust
Gid it over as you wilt isnever of gold
Then spurn ii aside with disgust
The man who is in debt is to often slave,
Though his heart may be honest and true;
Can ho!dup his head and look saucy and brave
When note he can't pay becomes due

Meeting OF the Methodist Laity In Cincin-


A meeting Of the laity Of the Methodist Episco-
PAL Church. was held few days since in Cincnna al,
and the subject Of lay representation was warmly
discussed. The question was upon the following
Received That this msetng approve OF the proposed
convention to be held in the city Of Philadelphia On the
Sd March next.
Mr. EpMuNp Brooks moved the following as
substitute -
Resolved That we deem it irexpedisnt to adop. the
contemplated chang and are wiling 70 abide BY the
MIR. 1NsKIP opposedt the substitute, and urged the
propriety justice Of lay delegation in the con-
ferences. He would quite Is soon trust lay men,
bers there &c TIE preachers.
Mr.. Richardson read from the circular sent to
the brethren from PHILADELPHIA, where this move
ment originated, to show that its language was
temperate and wise, and that, throughout, desire
was shown to strengthen the Church and preserve
ita iItegrity-not te produce schism or secession.
He urged the propriey Of full and free discussion
SAMUEL LEWIS made, perhaps, the cearest and
moot forcible speech OF the evening, he did not
attach much Importance to this question o. lay de-
discussion, and iull liberty Of thought and con-
science. He was personally acquainted with many
Of the brethren in Philadelphia Who bad originated
this movement, and could vouch for their devotion
to the best interests Of the church.
Mr. LEWIS alluded to the history Of the church,
and asked If tie exclusive legislation of the clergy
had been such ss to forbid the thought that lay re-
presentation might be productive of good! 1t had
the Church. in 1927 had led to secesiona; he would
remark that expulsion preceded secession And the
highest judicial authority had lately decided that
the assertion of the Newspaper called the Mutual
Rights, (the organ Of that movement) that the
Methodist ministers were the supreme law making
power Of the church, was correct. The ministry in
conference had caused not merely secession,
but tho loss Of one half the entire membership BY
the divifion Of the church north and south. The
desire for lay delegation should be treated with oil
the attention and respect its Importance and the
temperate and wise manner Of the demand merited.
Mr.. b. REEpER cordially approved Of the 70.
marks of Mr.. LOWS, and was decidedly in favor Of
sending delegates to the Philadelphia convention.
1t was generally remarked, and perhaps with too
much truth that In this republican land thore we're
two Ecce sastical organ nations in whose govern
ment the great body Of the membership-the city
had no voice; the Roman Catholic and tho Me-
til odst Episcopal Churches Let there be free dis
custom, and lot the majority rule.
