that he owes more than he thought he did, and
many others find that they have less 10 pay with

cannot pay, who have been nprovldent on
spendthrlft, there Is nothing to DO sold except
TO advise them to do SO no more advice; by the
way, which they arc not likely to heed, and
which ia therefore scarcely worth giving. But
TO those who can, we say PAY up. Put your
money in circulation. look over your accounts,
collect your own bills, and eudoavor to com.
