OUGHT YOU TO GET RICH.

We answer most emphatically yes. 1t il
not mere convenience to be well off as to
these worlds goods, but it is positive duty
binding upon every one; to lay up treasures
of wealth against the future wants and me-
cessities of himself and family. The in
junction of scripture to be tsdiligent in busi-
ncss,o carries with it command that YOU
make your business pay. In this western
country the strife for riches is earnest and
constant, nndis generally the openly ayowed
object of life. Now a little money is good
thing, but riches are so often perverted from
their legitimate use, or fall to the lot of
those who can never appreciate the comforts
and blessings it is their privilege to enjoy,
that we do not wonder when we hear tho
question seriously raised whether much
money is oftener . blessing or curse to its
possessor. That il always should prove q
blessing is evident, that it so seldom does is
the excusable fault Of Its possessor. Tho
first thing rquisite in order to make ones
wealth productive Of real good, is that it bo
acquired honestly. nl-gotten gains result.
ing from fraud, deceit and avarice, can nev.
er afford source of happiness. The same
disposition Of heart which induces man
to act dishonesty for the sake of money,
will prove an efectual bar in realization Of
any true enjoyment which that money might
afford. We pity the man who enters HE
career with the determination to make .mon-
ey ssby fair means if possible, but by foul
means If necessary more than him whom
we know has neither ambition NOR tact to
raise himself above his present wants. The
true way is to start in life with determine.
tion to acquire at least respectable for
| tuna. hnt with n rpaO1utinn enna1lv stSnnw
/ that it shall be acquired honest!yI it can
be obtained at all. Again it should be re-
membered that the mere possession Of
] wealth is Of no account whatever. Not
money, but the comforts it will provide,
and the good it will enable as to do,
should be the ultimate end Of our strivings.
To make sshining gold the object upon
which our desires rest, is miserly and con-
temptible; to seek for riches a. q means OF
satisfying the wants of our better natures,
of increasing our national enjoyments, and
of enlarging the sphere Of our usefulness
is an object worthy our humanity.

A PRAoTIcAL ILLUsTRATIoN.--It is very
general impression that "any body can edit a
paper" in abiding to which the New York
Herald has the following:-"So far as our
experience goes, there are more men in the
country who could make pair of boots,
treat a sick person, plead before the Supreme
Court, or drive steam engine, without pre-
vious training, than there are those who
could edit paper without previous appren-
ticeship to the profession"

The BoLDEsr YET.-A lady went into a
store in New York recently to purchase a
shawl. Just as she was handing the clerk
two fifty dollar bills, she received blow on
the face from well dressed person who cx-
claimed, 81 forbade you buying shawl"
and snatching the money from her hand, he
evaporated. The lady tainted, and on recov-
ering, the merchant expressed surprise that
her husband should have acted so ungentle
manly; but his surprise was greatly increas-
ed when the lady informed him that it was
not her husband, and that she had never
seen him before. The bold thief, however,
had made good his escape.

Saturday morning last-the press only having
been taken to the dock the afternoon previous
and at z o'clock the same evening, the press and
everything was fitted up and in working order in
the new office. A quick and safe removal in
deed, unattended with the slightest accident, and
rendered doubly pleasant and agreeable by the
gcntlemanly attention of Mcssrs. BLAKE & HUB

of Capt. SHOEMAKER, of the Olive Branch. The

to enjoy the blessings of kindly Providence, in
whose hands we leave, with theirs, our destiny.
