DEBT,

Think what you do when you run
n debt. You give to another pow
er over your liberty. If you cannot
pay at the time, you will be asham-
ed to see your creditor, you will
make poor sneaking excuses anG
by degrees come to loose your We,
racity and sink into base downright
lying.
The second vice is lying the first
is running into debt. Lying rides
upon debts back. A free born
American ought not to be ashamed
or afraid to see or speak 70 any man
LIVING. The borrower is a slave tC
the lender, and the debtor to the
creditor Oisdain the chain, preserve
your freedom and maitaln your
independence,
For age and want, save while you may
No morning sun lasts a hole day.
Gam may be temporary and un
certain, but while you live, expense
is constant and certain. We may
give advice, but cannot give con
duct.

LEISI RE.

Methinks | hear some Of You say
"MuSt a man afford himself no lei
sure? / will tell thee: Employ thy
time well If thou meanest to gain
leisure and since thou art not sure
of a minute, throw not away an
hour.
Leisure is the time for doIug some
thing useful. This leisure the dill
gent man will obtain, but the lazy
man never. A life of leisure and a
life of idleness are two things. Do
you imagine that sloth VIII afford
YOU mole comfort than labor!
Trouble springs from Idleness and
grtevouS toll from needless ease,
Many, without labor, would live by
their wits only. but they'll break fol-
want Of stock. Industry gives com
fort and plenty and respect
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1889-10-31

It would be thought hard gov>
ernment that should tax it's people
one-tenth part Of their time to be
employed in its service, but idlen ess
taxes many of us much more. if we
reckon all that is spent in absolute
sloth. or doing of nothing; with that
which is spent in idle emplOyments
or amusements that amount to
nothing. Sloth. by bringing on
disease, absolutely shortens life.
Sloth. like rust, consumes faster
than labor wears. Dost thou love
life? then do not squander time. for
that's the stuff life is made of.
SlOth makes all things difficult,
but industry all things easy.
Laziness travels so slowly that
poverty soon OyeTtakeS him.

Plstting ts Blow Up an English steamer
70 Injure His Case with she Times.
NEW YORK. Jan l6. The Herald pub.
fishes story to the effect that English
detectives are plotting with desperate
Irishmsn to blow up an English plssen.
ger steamer ia New York hsrbor, in order
to force The adoption OF the British-Amsr.
ican extradition treaty and strengthen
the case of the Times. II states that
friends of Parnell and the Irish National
League have set close watch on the
movements of the Eoglish detectives. It
is more than probable that the present
scheme to blew up an English steamer IN
American waters is a plot to create q
scare that will have the effect of damag-
ing Parnell and his friends 10 their strug-
gle with the London Times and the Tory
Government, and in turning American
sympathy away from the Irish cause.
The promoters are known to be deadly
enemies of Parnell.
