LIFE As IT IE.

Letus make an excursion down the street
and see what we can learn. Yonder is The
wreck Of a mnn'S son. He was permitted to
grow up without employment, went and came
as he pleased, and spent his time in the graf
ifcation of spontaneous passions, desires and
incllnationS, with no one to check him, when
his course was evil or encourage him in the
ways Of wisdom. His father was rich, and fol
that reason The son thought he had nothing tc
do, no parl in honest labor 10 reform.
Well, the father died, and the son inherited
q portion Of his abundant wealth, and having
never earned money by homes, toll, he knew
not the value OF it, and having no knowledge
OF business, he knew not how 10 use it, so he
gave loose relns 10 his appelles and passions
and ran at rapid pace down the broad road
10 dissipation. Now behold bm--a broken
down man, bowed willIinfrmiiy, a mere wreci
Of what he was, both physically and mentally
His money is gone aud be lives on The CHART,
OF these whose whose hearts are open with
pity. Such is The fae Of hundreds that are
born 10 fortune.
And there on the opposite side in that COM
Portable mansion, lives the son Of poor cobler.
Fifteen years ago lie left the humble room oi
his parents, and went forth into The broad
WOIie II one 10 Seek ioTluue. All MS urea
sureS consisted Of his chest of tools, good
knowledge Of his trade, honest principles, in,
duSrious habits, and twenty FIVE coppers.-
Now he is the owner OF that elegant mansion
is doing thriving business, possesses on un.
broken constitution, and bids fair to live 10 &
good old age. Such is tie .ot Of hundreds anC
thousands who never boasted of wealthy pa

''Some len years since. when Detroit was

situated, opened with the determination of ex-
pending their entire profits except rent and
clerk hire, for the first year, in advertising nd
printing. They did so, expending about 81,
400. The next year they set apart half their
profits for the same purpose, but long before
the year expired, the senior partner told the
writer Of this article that they could not ex-
pend as much as they had anticipated, for the
only reason that they could find no place 10

"Every paper,in the State almost, contained
their business notices, while their handbills,

In this way, they have gone on, expending
annually about four thousand dollars, mil
