Finally, the law requires an absolute change

There is no doubt of theiunconstitutionality Of

courts. If a school district can be forced under

GOING IN DEBT.-Half the young men
in the country, with many old enough to
know better, would "go into business" !"
that is, debt, tomorrow, if they could.
Most poor men are so ignorant as to envy
the merchant and manufacturer, whose
life is an incessant struggle with pecu-
mary difficulties, who is driven to con-
stant s'shining," and who, from month to
mouth, barely evades that insolvency
which sooner or later overtakes most men
in business; so that it has been computed
that but one in twenty of them achieves
pecuniary success. For my own part
-and I speak from sad experience-I
would rather be convict in o State pris-
on, a slave in rice swamp, than to pass
through life under a harrow of debt. Let
no man misjudge himself unfortunate or
truly poor so long as he has the full use
of his limbs and faculties, and is sub
stantially free from debt. Hunger, cold,
rags, hard work, contempt, suspicion, un-
lust reproach, are disagreeable; but debt
is infinitely worse than them all. / re-
peat, my young friends, avoid pecuniary
obligations as you would pestilence and
famine. If you have but fifty cents, and
can get no more for week, buy peck
of corn, parch it and live on it, rather
than owe a man q dollar Of course, l
know that some men must often give
notes and other obligations, and / do not
consider him really in debt who can lay
his hand directly on the means ofpaying,
at some little sacrifice, all he owes: 1
speak of real debt, that which involves
risk of sacrifice, on the one side, obliga.
ton and dependence on the other; and
I say, from all such let every youth hum
bly, pray God to preserve him ever more,
