TRuF As PREACHING.

The Philadelphia Evening Argus says: NO
man can borrow himself out of debt. IT
you wish for relief, you must work for it, E.
canomise for it. You must make more and
spend less than you did while you were
running in debt. You must wear homespun
instead of broadcloth, drink water instead OF
champaign, and rise at four instead of seven.
Industry, frugality, ecomomy-these are the
landmarks of wealth, and the sure sources
of relief. A dollar earned is worth ten bor'
rowed, and dollar saved is better than forty
times its amount spent useless gewgaws.-
Try our scheme, and seeeif it is not worth I
thousand banks and valuation laws.

As class they are vastly more down trodden

over them. The wrongs suffered by those
whose misfortune it is to be under twenty

Equally with women they are excluded from
the suffrage; that nulienable and universal
right When they labor their wages are
comparatively small; even less than the
