5 asa Careful HasblnlEyi
Ttnua BE- apparent to every intsll-
eanl nader thaf ss s people ae are Pc
emiarily 10 no situation to tolerate the
least eztraYagance or pgodigalily either
in ibs private. social o. public walks Of
I1. There Is need tor rigid economy,
careful husbandry and cautious frugal
ity. This whole section is stricken with
poverty, and it behOoyes every good
citizen 70 bear his equal share Of the
burthen, and unite with his fellow suf-
ferers IN . determined effort 70 bring
relief and plenty where there is nov
but little else than suffering and want.
Our people find It a somewhat difficult
matter to practice the rigid economy so
necessary to encourage the hope Of fu-
ture prosperity, from the fact that they
had been accustomed, up to a recent
period, to the utmost prOfusion and
abundance. There was plenty in the
land, and it was made TO contribute to
our comfort and pleasure with lavish
hand. Even the poorer classes failed
- observe economy or thrift, but, in
proportion to their means, were as ex-
trayagant and imprudentin the manage
mcnt Of their pecuniary affairs as the
rich. If the vast sums Of money that
have been squandered in times past in
frivolous pleasures, had been devoted
to the building of factories and other
enterprises, how different would be ouI
situation now. We now realize how
much we have lost in not devoting q
portion Of the abundance with which
we were blessed in past years to the
prosecution Of public works of this
character. While it will do no good Il
indulge in vain regrets over the past and
opportunities permitted to 90 h'' ''ilii'
nroved we can ! 49, useful instruction
from =. utter experience, and make q
vetter and more profitable use of ouI
time and means in the future. We arc
reduced to the necessity Of being frugal,
economical and industrious, and thus
to reach once more to plenty, or to re-
main welded to idle and extrayagant
habits and end our days in poverty and
distress. Between the two choice
must be made at once, and by that de-
cision we must abide in coming years
Economy, if rightly practiced, will soon
relieve us from immediate want, and
lay the foundation of future wealth. Il
will infuse new life into all Of our in.
dustrial avocations and give renewed
impetus to trade; it will enable us tC
build up school houses and educate oul
children; It viii promote the cause O
morality and virtue, and banish vice
and crime from the land; it will give
food and raiment to the widows and or
phans; in short, it viii reclaim on
waste places and cause this section Il
blossom and flourish like a garden.
