WANT OF PUNCTUALITY.- 1t is aston-
ishing how many people there are who
neglect punctuality. Thousands have
failed in life from this cause alone. 10
Is not only serious vice in itself, but it
is the fruitful parent of numerous other
vices, so that he who becomes the victim
of it, gets involved in tolls from which i'd
is almost impossible to escape. 1t makes
the merchant wastful of time; it saps the
business and reputation of the lawyer, and
it Injuries the prospects of the mechanic.
In word, there is not profession, nor
station in life, which is rot liable to the
canker of the destructive habit. Many
and many time has the failure of one
man to meet his obligations brought ON
