advice to his SON. Get money, if you can
honestly, makes but slight alteration in
the order of the words, but varies the sem
timent considerably. There is no harm in
making money. 1t answereth all things.
Used rightly, it is power for good, and
there is money enough in the world to form

could be lifted, TO certain extent, out Oh
its depths of sorrow and despair. Money

faculty for saving. Would you save you
must know how to deny those who would
borrow and never repay as well as those
who beg simply because they are too lazy
to work. There are men who never want
to see YOU except to ask the favor of a loan.
They will ask for just one word with you,
and that one word is sure to be money. An

for the loan of five, how many would re-
main in your pocket?'' 'sTen dollars, to-
be sure" replied the rich man, without a
moments hesitation. He md gumption,
and knew too much to part with his money
by any such rule of subtraction.

one of the Micawber sort-alwa ys waiting

He had long neglected catarrh, and laughed

to pieces, and he was fast wasting away.
A mere shadow of his former self, he
scarcely slept at all at night, or slept only
to dream horrible dreams. Talk of night
mare! A whole circus troupe, horses and
all, seemed to make his bed the arena of
their wild performances. In this case
money did not make the mare go. for he
spent IA deal of money on doctors and
physics and was nothing bettered. He ate
little, and was fast going down to an I'M
