one more word Of advice to give you, which
trust you will follow. Forever refrain
from the use Of tobacco, Intoxicating drinks,
and from gambling; and when you get .
few dollars yen do mot need for immediate
use, put it into that Savings Bank What
you may thus be able to save viii help you
when you want to staxt into business for
yourself A pleasant smile played on the
young mans countenance ~ be replied: !
thank you for your good counsel, and |
would be ungratefal for your former kindness
were to disregard it. But my life thus far
will bear me witness that have never in
dulgcd in the vices you have named; and as
to the Savings Bank, have already in that
corner, pointing to the Bank, three hun
dred and twenty dollars laid up for time of
need. Erie Constitution.
