PAY YoUR SHALL DEBTs.-Pay your
small debts. You do not know how
much good is frequently accomplished
by adopting this principle. 1t was
honest old Ben Franklin, We believe,
who, as o matter Of experiment, fol-
lowed up a small amount which he paid
to q tradesman. In a very little while
he ascertained that the money paid the
tradesman had passed from hand to
hand until the number Of bills of nearly
similar amount settled with it reached
some fifteen or twenty. It may not be
possible to do as franklin did, and trace
up the history Of a small amount OF
money 10 the way Of d~ebt-paying ; but
it may be set down as a fixed fact that
the prompt payment Of small debts is
the initiative step toward paying cash
for everything. Generally speaking,
these small debts are due to persons
who need all the little capital they can
command. To such they are OF in
mensc importance ; and it may DO said
Of the person who allows these trifing
obligations to remain unpaid while hav-
ing the means TO discharge them, that
he ia not, in the true sense Of the word,
an honest man, unless, by express con,
tract, a time for payment has been fixed
and the time not arrived. Pay your
small debts, and your big ones too. II
YOU would be happy and comfortable,
sleep soundly, eat heartily, and ENJOY
the peace of mind which only men win
GOOD consciences are supposed to enjoy
nay your small debts.

Too LAZY TO CAToH SSAILs.-0lC
Dick Wilson was quite rs remarkable
for quaintness as for lazincss. AS hi
had a passion for wandering about thu
hills and forests, and liked to boast tina
he knew all about roots and herbs, h'
was frequently employed in primitive
days to bring the frugal housewives the
sassafras, wintergreen, etc., for theij
root beer.
On n occasion DR.. H. called on
Dick, and handing him n large basket
desired him to 60 to n certain spot
about two miles distant, and bring hin
q quantity Of %snails, adding, " BE 4!
quick as you can, Dick, for am in
hurry"
Muttering that 4" tho Doctor is always
in a hurry" Dick set off on his expedi
ton !; and the Doctor, after his rount
Of visits, seated himself in his office Il
rest-study, perhaps, for it was lonG
ago-and to wait for Dick.
In the deepest twilight Of the lonl
June day, Dick appeared, and aftel
carefully setting down his basket, seated
himself with an air Of utter wearines:
on the threshold Of the open door.
Well, Dick" said the Doctor, did

"Look In the basket, Doctor" re
piled Dick.
The Doctor looked in, and, to hi
vexation, saw only two or three miscr

Thu Ara of Man.

But few men die of age. Almost oil
die Of disappointment, passional, men
tai, or bodily, toll, or accident. The
passions kill men sometimes even SUD
denly. The common expression
I" clicked with passion" has little ex-
aggcration in it for even though not
suddenly fatal, strong passions shorten
life. Strong bodied men often die
young-weak men live longer than the
strong, for the strong use their strength
and the weaker have none TO use. The
latter take care Of themselves the
former do not. As it is with the body,
90 it is with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or, like the
candle, run the weak burn out. The
inferior animals which live temperate
lives have generally their prescribed
term of years. The horse lives twenty
Eve years, the OK fifteen or twenty, the
lion about twenty, the hog ten or
twelve, the rabbit eight, the Guinea pig
six or seven. The numbers Of all bear
proportion to the time the animal takes
TO grow to its full size. But man OF oil
animals is the one that seldom comes
up to the average. He ought TO live q
hundred years, according 10 his phys
biological law, for five times twenty are
one hundred /; but instead Of that he
scarcely reaches an average OF four
times his growing period.
The reason is obyious-man is not
only the most irregular and the most
incorporate, but the most laborious and
hard worked Of all animals. He is
always the most irritable OF all animals,
and there Is reason to believe, though
we cannot tell what an animal secretly
feels, that, more than any other animal,
man cherishes wrath to keep 1t warm,
and consumes himself with the fire OF
his W reflection.
"what finite power, with c~easeless toll,
Can fathom the eternal mind ."-ScoTT.
Naturalists tell US that there is an ami
NAL With but one sense. How very lit
tie such an animal can know Of the
works Of nature! Almost shut out
from him, necessarily, would be such
knowledge. And yet even such an ami
NAL is capable Of com%prehending more
of nature, than we with our five senses
and intellectual powers are capable OF
comprehending of the Eternal God for
there is a greater ratio between this one
sense, and a limited universe, than be-
tween our FIVE lenses and mental capac-
tiles, and the Infinite Being. "Who
can by searching find out God p Who
can reasonably expect to do this? And
who will be so foolish and insane,
as-because he cannot do this-because
of the %disproportion between the depths
of divine nature and the short sounding
line of human reasou-because the per-
feet comprehension of Jehovah is be-
yond the grasp Of the human faculties,

immortal man to all eternity, and
though Christians will expatiate on the
divine nature forever, with n capacity
continually increasing, and knowledge

The Cosr OF PUBLIC Instruction.
New York City during this year, it is
estimated, will expend $4,000, 900 for
the education of $4,000 children. In
1859 the average or daily attendance OF
pupils was 40, 74O, and the expense OF
public instruction was $5l3,GO2 ls. In
fifteen years, while the attendance has
increased 40 per cent, the expense has
increased 500 per cent. In view Of the
rapidly increasing cost of the public
school system, which in fifteen years
will, at the same rate, reach Sl5,000,-
900, the New York Citizens Association
has appointed a committee, composed of
gentlemen interested in the subject of
education as Presidents Of the several
Universities, and others, to examine
into the matter and report upon the fol-
lowing points First-The expense Of
public instruction. S~econd-lts eff
cheney. Third-What should be the
extent of the sphere of public instruc-
ton? Fourth-What studies should DO
embraced in the system of public in
struction, and what should be the limit
Of its expense? Fifth-A careful COM
parison Of the capacity Of the teacher in
pablo with that of the teacher in pri.
vate schools. Sixth-How the system
Of public instruction can best be per-
fected. Seventh-Such other points as
naturally come within the scope of the
general inquiry. The report of this
committee will be received with great
interest, rs the information conveyed by
il will be valuable to the directors of
public schools Of other cities.
