Keep Out Of Debt.

Half the perplexity, annoy ance, and
trouble that men have in this world is in
consequence of getting into debt. 1t
seems to be natural for some people to
buy and incur obligations without mea.
sure, SO long AS t1Asy can aycid paying
1,eao, cash, Give one Of this sort y
chance to buy Oh credit, and the questions
of price and conditions Of payment are
matters that he cares but little about. But
what a crop Of tfonbie springs mp from
She seed of debt. How many sleehless
Rights result from it? How many gray
hairs it brings, and how often 1t sloftens
life--sometimes leading men 90 commit
suicide or murder. And yct, hcw easy
thing il is to keep clear of this terrible
monster: Every young man should form
fixed and unalterable detelm nation. be.
fore commencing hs active business ca.
reer, not ~ incur one penny of indebted
ness under any circumstances. Never
borrow. Never buy anything unless YOU
have the money to pa for il ~ once. Pay
no attention to splendid opportunities"
"bargains." " rare chances and the like.
Such affairs are only the traps which
debt sets to catch victims If you see
anything that you would like to buy. or if
any offer is made that you would like TO
accept, look, first, at your money pile,
and make the answer depend upon that.
Always pay as you 60. If you are short
of money you guage your demands ac-
cordingly Foster habits of economy, live
within your means, buy nothing that you
cannot properly afford, and you will go on
through life free from the miserics and
troubles that ever beset tho path of the
debtor.

Old man told me that he. lived near tie

said that Mr.. Randolph was engaged to bo
married On one occasion he had been at
her residence short time and had left

Mr.. Randolph had left in great haste, and
told him to go and see where in his hur-

it was proposed that he should make
