A wRoxo IpEA.-Peopls Of either

men, who have to struggle hard In Or
der to maintain themselves, often get
discouraged from q feeling that they
are leading almlsss lives. and. In a tit

would Just as lief die as live. These
persons commit a gross blunder. In
the Providence OF God they have some
mission to perform, In however hum
bic capacity they may be called upon
TO act. 10 say that any white porson
IL leading an almlsss life IL 10 degrade
him or her to a level With the Pluto
Indians.
