motto of the age. and he succeeds best

Strive. boys. 70 catch the spirit Of the
times--be up and dressed always, not ga

body before you die.
Think, plan, and reflect as much as you
please before you act; but think quickly
and closely, and when you have fixed your

anything. Keep out of debt. Avoid it
as you would war, rcs;flence and famine
Shun it as you would the devil Hate it
with perfect hatred. Abhor it with all
entire and absolute adherence. Dig pota-
toes. break stone, peddle tinware, do any
thing that IS honest and useful, rather than
run in debt
There is but little hope for the young
man who can reoklessly wear the CLAIM OF
debt, and speak with an air of humorous
pity of his creditors, did that brazen
youth. who on being asked how it was
that he could sleep of nights, involved in
debt as he was, replied that ne could sleep
well enough himself. but he could not
imagine how his creditors could contrive
10 do it.
He who will incur debts, which he
knows he can never pay, or neglect obliga-
tons which he has the means to meet, is
but thief in another form. Men live by
their goods, and he who takes them with
out pay, steals more than their value, fol
he has also the time and patience of the
owner. He has to a degree destroyed
honest credit. and injured some poor Gus
TONER. more deserving aid than himself
Debt is the hardest OF all task masters
the cruelest of all oppressors. 1t is mil
stone about the neck an incubus on the
heart; it spreads a cloud over the whole
armament of mans being, 1t burrows the
forehead with premature wrinkles,i it pluck:
out its sight; it drags all nobleness and
kindness out of the port aud bearing Of ;
man. II takes the soul out of his laugh
and all stateliness and freedom from hi:
walk. Come not under lis accused do
ninion. Pass by it as you would by ;
leper, or one smitten BY plague.
Touch it not. Taste not Of its fruits
for it will turn to bitterness and ashes OF
your lips. Finally. | say to each and all
but especially to you, young men, keep gu

once abstFac. the moisture from the NOR
tar, and it soon evaporates; thus the bind

Spring and fell are the best seasons Of
the year for building brick houses In
warm dry weather the moisture. of the
mortar evaporates too rapidly; and in frosty
weather it crystalizes, and when thawed
it sveats out. Mortar becomes hard by
absorbing carbonic acid from the atmos
phere; and it acquires by age the character
of stone Without moisture it will moi
become hard and solid, but crumbe into
dust; hence the necessity of preventing
the rapid evaporation of moisture in NOR
