IGNORANCE AND Low WAGES.

What asses men are to be ignorant, even
in financial point of view. A blockhead
can get but six shillings day in any market
in the world; men of intelligence often make
as many dollars. A man who can't write,
is as much slave as if he had been born
brute. He is doomed to be newer of wood
and drawer Of water all the days of his life.
Drudge! drudge! is all that is in store for
him, should he continue on earth for cen
tury Educate your children, therefore, not
only for their happiness, but their incomes.
All can sec that wickedness leads to misery;
yet very few find out that which is equally
certain, that Ignorance leads TO misery, to
wretchedness DR.. johnson was once asked,
"Who was the most miserable man 2" and
the reply of the sage was, "The man who
cannot read on rainy day" The writer
once passing through park, saw nailed to
one of the trees, this warning: "All dogs
found in this park will be shot" A friend
who was with US remarked, "Unless dogs
can read they are pretty badly off here. p
Now, God has no. only written his laws up
on the trees, but in the stars and in the fow-
ers his laws are above and beneath, on our
right hand and on our left, and if man is
not able to read, he is "pretty badly of here"
worse off than the dog, for the dog has a
master to read for him; but man has no
master between him and his God The con-
sequence is, he, is trapped by cunning at
every corner, He is taken in and done for
by the spring gun duplicity and the man
traps of ungolliness, and all he can do is to
founder and bear. lie is even worse off
than the wicked, for they may hope, but for
the ignorant man there is no hope. He is
sentenced to hard labor for the term of his
natural life, and all the pardonins power in
the world cannot prevent it. z--
