HENRY WARD BEEoHER ON INTER

HENRY WARD BEEcHER ON INTER-
EsT.-IIow many people III the country
have found out the truth Of the following
by Henry Ward Beecher:
No blister draws sharper than inter-
est does. OF all industries, none j.
comparable to that of interest. IL works
day and night. in fair weather and foul.
1t has no sound in its footsteps, but trav-
els fast. II gnaws a mans substance
with invisible teeth. II binds industry
with its film, as fly is bound upon a
spiders web. Debt rolls man over,
and over, binding bis hand and foot, and
letting him hang upon the fatal mesh
until the long legged interest devours
him. There is no crop that can afford
to pay interest on money on farm.
There is but one thing raised on a
farm like it, and that is the Canadian
thistle, which swanns new plants every
time you bleed the roots, whose blossoms
are prolific and every one the father Of u
million SEEDS. Every leaf is an awl,
every branch pear, and every single
plant like a platoon Of bayonets, and q
field full Of them is ike an armed host.
The whole plant IS a torment and a
vegetable curse. And yet farmer had
better make his bed Of Canadian thistle,
than attempt TO lie at ease upon interest
