Running in Debt.

l dwell on this point, for 1 would
deter Others from entering that place of tor
ment. Half the young men in this coun-
try, with many old enough to know better,
would go into business-that is, into debt
Tomorrow, if they could. Most poor men
are so ignorant as to envy the merchant or
manufacturer, whose life is an incessant
struggle with pecuriary difficulties, who is
driven to constant "shinning," and who,
from month to month, barely evades the
insolvency which sooner or later overtakes
most men in business so that it has been
computed that but one man in twenty of
them achieves pecuniary success For my
part, | had rather be a convict in the State
prison, a slave in a rice swamp, than to pass
through life under the harrow of debt
Let no man misjudge himself unfortunate, or
truly poor, so long as he has his limbs and
faculties, and is substantially free from debt.
Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, contempt,
suspicion, unjust reproach are disagreeable,
but debt is infinitely worse than them ALL
And if it had pleased God to spare either or
all my sons to be the support of my declin-
ing years, the lesson which | should most
earnestly seek to impress upon them is, new
er run in debt. Avoid pecuniary obliga-
tions as you would pestileuce or famine.
fyou have hut fifty cents, and can get no
more FOR week, buy peck ofcorn, parch
it, and live on it rather than owe a dollar {!
Of course | know tat some men must do
business that involves risk aud must give
notes or other obligations, and do Iiot con-
slider him in debt who can lay his hands
directly on the means of paying, at some
little sacrifice, all he owes; speak of real
debt-that which involves risk or sacrifice
on one side, obligation and dependence on
the other-and say from all such, leteyery
youth humbly pray God to preserve him
ever more,-UOracc Grcelcy.

Why will you suffer violent pain, or be made
uncomfortable, distressed in mind or body, when
you can be instantly relieved and quickly cured
by Benson's Capcine Porous Plasters. The or
dinary Porous Plaster is an" article of merit,
yet its action is too slow, requiring days and
weeks of continuous wear to effect cure. Ben
sons Capcine Porous Plaster, being great i'm.
provement over them, relieves you instantly
and cures you quicker than any known plaster,
liniment or compound.
Their action is more powerful than electricity
and more certain. They are purely vegetable
contain no mineral or metallic peisons Their
composition and properties are founded upon
true medical skill, and are in no sense patent
medicine. They are endorsed by thousands of
Physicians and Druggists of unimpeachable
reputation, as being an article of genuine merit
and worthy of public confidence. Try them
and be convinced. Price 25 cents.
