My DEAR FRIEND The debt that sets
heaviest upon the conscience of mortal

printer. 1t presses harder on ones busom
than the nightmare, gals the soul, srets
and chases every ennobling sentiment,
squeezes all the fraternal sympathy from
the heart, end leaves it dryer, THAI the sur
face of roasted potato.
A man who wrongs the printer out of q
single red cent, can never expect to enjoy
the comforts of this world, and NAV we'll
have his doubts Of finding happiness in any
other.

same.
You will rot wait till to morrow ! it is
but the receptacle unredeemed promises
il is an added egg in the greatness of the
future, the doctors-the creditors CURSE
If you are dishonest, low minded sens of
Satan, do not suppose you will pay the
printer as you have no reputation to lose, no
character to sustain, no morals to cultivate.
But let me tell you, my friends, that if you
do not-do il, your path will be strewn with
thorns; you will have to gather your food
from brambles; your children will die of
dysentery, and you will never erjoy the
blessings Of a healthy conscience.
