poverty.
There are six evils, young man, IN
beng addicted to strong drinll-poy.
crty, strife, disease, loss of character
shameless exposure Of the person, and
impaired faculties
Six evils attend on him who wanders
about the streets at night. His life is in
danger, his wife and children are un.
cared for, his property is unguarlcd, he
falls under the suspicion Of trcqucnting
places of evil resort, false rumors circd-
late concerning him, and sorrow and
rcmorsc follow in his train.
Six evils wait upon him who thrsts
after worldly amuscmcnts. He is ever
crying Where is there Lancing F.: where
is there singing where is there music Z?
where recitation, where conjuring, where
public shows!
SIX evils wait upon the gambler. If
he win, he bcgcts hatred; if he lose, his
heart is sorrowful. His substance is
wasted, his word has no weight in u
court Of Justice, lls friends and kinsmen
despisc him, and he is looked upon as
ineligible for marriOge--lor men say u
gambler is unfit to support wife.
Six evils attend on him who associ-
ates with bad companions. Every gam
bier, every libertine, every cheat, every
rogue, every outlaw, is his friend and
companion.
Six evils attend upon the sluggard.
He says it is too cold, and does not
work; he says it is too hot, and does
not work; he says it is too early, and
does not work he says it is too late,
and does not work; he says | am hun
gry, and does not work he says am
full, and does not work; and while he
thus lives ever neglecting his duties, he
both fails to acquire new property, and
that which he possesses dwindles away,
Some friends are only boon compan-
ions, some are hollow friends; the true
friend is the friend in need
Sleeping after the sun has risen,
adultery, revenge, malev0lence, evil
communications, and avarice-these six
bring II man to ruin.

about at night, bad companions and av-

ness and honors not the wise, he shall
fade like the waning moon.
lie that drinks strong drink, is needy
and destitute, ever thirsting with I'M
thirst he plunges into debt
as one plunges into water, and will
quickly bring his family to nothing.
lie who sleeps by day and rises at
night, who is ever full of wine and
whoredoms, is unfit to maintain
family.
Poverty overtakcs him who says, 'Tis
too cold, It's too hot, It's too late, and
neglccts his daily work but he who,
performing his manly duties, reckS not q
straw for heat or cold, his happiness
shall not decay.
There are four, young man, who, seem
ING to be friends, are enemies in disguise
