BETTER THAN GoLp.-We often hear

ime when they shall be large enough
o carry 8 cane and wear tall ha. and
lot one OF them VIII say that lie expects
o be poor man, but that everyone
nteuds to be rich. Now money is very
,ood in its place but let me tell you,
title boys, what is a great deal better
han money, and what you may be earn
ng all the time you are waiting to grow
arge enough to earn fortune. The
Bible tells Us that ga good nele is
ather to be chosen than great riches,
nd loving favor rather than silver and

anne for being the richest man in town,

God name is q name for doing good

And close confined to boot;

Yet always go on foot.
