The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1874-09-18

DR.. Porter Of Yale. made little personal
lump speech to his young men the other day,
in which he said "don't drink. don't chew,
DR. Z deceive, don't read novels don't marry
until you can support wife," Those were the
''don'ts." For the "do's," he told them to
''be in earnest :" and then he went on to say,
land DO self-relant." Good BE generous
and be civil" Better! /" Read the papers and
and advertise your business" Best That last
bit of advice IS what we call beautiful! Little
need was there for the excellent and sagacious
aud learned gentleman to add, "make money,
and do good with !" He meant OF course,
that one who doesn't read the papers or adver-
tlse isn't likely to make much money, or to do
much good with what little he may make.
