pears often as an angel of light. Several
of these devils are in every neighbor-
hood, deceiving seller and buyer, in the
credit system. 1t is dressed In plausi-
bility and charmingly arrayed with fair
promises. But its fulfllment is gashed
with sores and tattered with sorrow. Long
economy may bring short rations at
first, gnawing at the stomach, and holes
at the elbows and knees. One of the
conscience worms will be idle, however,
and rest, though on straw. will be sweet
and the dreams will be of heaven. Let
us unite and drive this devil out CT town.
