thing that will bring in money The larger your
debts, the more do you put to your determination
there is something stronger than tyranfs grasp
frmer than vaor at the cannon's mouth, something
that with loud signal OF defiance will make Of
the heart an impregnable fortress and that is the
SOUL and determine that it shall not give place to
dependency; that by Gods help the urtermost
farthing shall be paid.
"Be mus minded, and there's no great thing you
may not attempt; the hill that looms darkiy over
your head, shall with every rising sun be shovel
full less. Throw off the load of debt by unremlt-
ting exertion, by well timed and constant labor BY
care and selfdenial, and you have proved yourself
as superior to the comm herd, mind to matter
| man that poverty cannot daunt, trouble CAM
| overcome and calumny cannot kill"
