Be as quiet as you can, x uo9,ino will grow under moving harrow and S;scontent .us harrows the mind. Matters are bad, .srnowledge but no ulcer is any better for finger ing The more you groan, the poorer you grow"
 Repinins st losses is only putting pepper into gore eve Crops will fail in all sois and we may be thankful that we have not . famine. Besides, al- ways took notice that whenever felt the rod pretty smartly it was as much as to say, Here is tome thing which you have got to learn" sammy, don't forget that your schooling is not over yet, though Aye" cried Sammy, '.you may say that. and a motherin-iaw, and two apprentices into the bargain and should like to know what a poor man can learn here when the greatest scholars and lawyers ar 1t oggerheads and can't for their lives tell what has become of the hard money"
 "S0ftly, sammy. amolder than you; have not got these grey hairs and this crooked back without some burdens. could tell you stories of the days of continental money when my grandfather usedto stuff sukybox with bills to pay for yearling or wheat fan, and when the Jersey women used thorns for pins, and laid their teaposs away in the garrett You wish to know what you can 1earni You may learn these seven things.
 fiISg tnak you nave saved LOO little and spent too much. never taught you to be miscr, but have seen you give your dollar for notion, when you might have laid one half aside for charity and one half for g rainy day.
 Second :: that you have gone too much upon credit. always told you credit was a shadow ; there is . substance behind which casts the shadow but small body may cast greater shadow, and no wise man will follow the shadow any farther than he can see the substance. You may now learn that you have followed a shadow, and been decoycd into . bog.
 Thirdly: that you have gone in too much haste to become rich. Slow and easy wins the race. , "Fourfhly: that no course of life can be depend- ded upon as always prosperous. I am afraid the younger race of working men in Amcrich have mo- ton that nobody would go to ruin this side of the water. Providence has greatly blessed us, and we have become presumptuous.
 ," Fifthly: that you have not been thankful enough to God fer His benefits in past times
 q Sxthly :.t that you may be thankful our lot is not worse We might have famine, CT pestilence, or war, Or tyranny, or all together
 And lastly, to end my sermon, you may learn to offer with more understanding, the prayer of your infancy, Give us this day our daily bread"
 The ollman ceased, and sammy put on his apron and told Dick to blow away at the forge bellows
