An employe of the postal telegraph of

watch which requires winding up only
once in forty-fve days. He submitted
his watch to the Mechanic Technical as

HORACE GREELEY ON DEBT.

Among the many good things which
Horace Greeley Wrote for the New
York Ledger is the following vivid
article On the misery of being in debt:
70 he hungry, ragged and penniless
is DOT pleasant; but this is nothing to
the horrors of bankruptcy. All the
wealth OF the Rothschilds would be
poJr reconipense for a five years
struggle, with the consciousness that
you had taken this money or property
OF trusting friends-promising to re-
turn or pay for it when required, and
had betrayed their confidence through
Insolvency. .....,........
f / dwell on this point for [ would
deter others from entering that place
of torment. Half the young men in
the country, with many old enough
to know better, would Ego into bust
ness"-that is, into debt-to- morrow
il they could. Most poor men are 30
ignorant as to envy the merchant or
manufacturer whose life is an inces-
SAINT struggle with pecun.ary difficult
ties, who is driven to constant "shin-
ing" and who, from month to month,
barely evades that insolvency which
sooner or later overtakes most men in
business, 80 that it has been computed
tlrat but one in twenty Of these
achieves pecuniary success.
For my own part-and speak from
sad experience would rather he a
convict in State Prison, slave in a
rice swamp, than to pass through life
under the harrow Of debt. Let no
young man misjudge himself unfor-
tunate, or truly poor, SO long as he
has the. full use of his limbs and
faculties and is substantially free
from debt.
Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, con-
tempt, suspicion, unjust reproach, are
disagreeable; but debt is infinitely
worse than them all. And, if it had
peLsed God to spare either or all OF
my sons to be the support or solare
OF my declining years, the lessons
which should have earnestly sought
to impress upon them is: "Never run
into debt! Avoid pecuniary obliga-
tions as you would pestilence or
famine. If you have but fifty cents
and can get no more for week, buy
peck of corn, parch it and live on it
rather than owe any man dollarw
or course, know that some mon
must do business that involves risks,
rnd must give notes and other obliga-
tions; and I do not consider him
really in debt who can lay his hands
directly on the means Of paying at
sumo little sacrifice all he owes; I
speak OF real debt-that which in
wolves risk of sacrifice on the one side,
obligation and dependence on the
oLher7-and say. from all such let
every youth humbly pray God to pre-
serve him evermore!

The Clergyman and the Jockey.

A clergyman, who is in the habit of
preaching in different parts of the
country, was, not long since, at
country hotel, where he observed a
horse jockey trying to take in a simple
gentleman. by imposing upon him
brokcn-winded horse for sound one.
The parson knew the bal character of
the jockey, ond taking the gentleman
aside, told him to be cautious of the
person he was dealing with. The gen.
tleman declined the purchase, and the
Jockey, quite nettled, observed:
"Parson, had much rather hear you
preach than to see you privately in
terfcre in bargains between man and
man in this way"
"Wcll," replied the parson, "' you
had been where you ought to have
been last Sunday, you might have
heard me preach"
"Where was that?" inquired the
jockey.
SIN the state prison." returned the
clergynan.-N. Y. Ledger.
