Stand up hefe, young man. and let us talk to you u-you have trusted alone to the contents of |" fathers purse" or his fair Same for your influence or success in bnsi- ness. Think you that "father" has ai- taiusd to eminence in his profession. but by unwearied industry or that he has amass- ed a fortune honestly. without energy and iscsivityi You should know that the iacul. Y requisite for acquiring a fame or fortune is essential to, nay inseparable from the re- saining ofeither of these. Suppose father" has the " rocks" in abundance; if you never earned anything fUr him. you have DO more business with these .. rocks" than a gosling 9.as with tortoise and if he allows you 10 meddle with them till you acquire som. by your own industry. he prrpetrates mis- chirf. And if the old gentleman is lavish of hts cash toward you, while he allows you 10 while away your dime, you'd better leave; yes, run away sooner than be an iasheciie x something worse, through so rorsupsag an inaseace.
