Don't Run in Debt.

Boys, do not borrow money nor buy
things that you cannot pay for. If you
do it will make you slave and expose
you to great temptations. Business
men borrow money and trust persons
who buy goods of them; but all care
full business men get security when they
can, and only trust those that they be-
lieve will pay them, while money is
coming in all the time from what they
sell for cash and by the payment of the
debts which are owed to them. When
men fail it is often because they have
loaned money or sold goods on promise
to pay to the wrong persons. Often
they fail because they have run in debt
themselves and are not able to pay.
But boys are not in business, and if
they run in debt how are they 60 NC TO
get the money to pay their debts? Many
boy who has borrowed money or
bought something on credit has been
tempted to lie, to make up all kinds of
stories to appease his creditors. Others
have borrowed from one to pay another,
and then from third to pay the second,
and from fourth to pay the third
and so on until everybody shuns them.
When it is found that they do not tell
the truth or pay their debts, they are
despised. Others have been tempted
to steal or to run away. Don't run in
debt. Deny yourselves and save until
you can buy what you think you must
have. Remember how easy it is to do
without great many things. One boy
found he had spent thirteen dollars for
soda-water in the summer, and he was
then in debt eleven dollars. He said
to himself, a." What a fool / was to tie
myself up in knots like this for lot of
frothp' Did you ever read Benjamin
Franklin's story, Il paid too dear for
the whistler" and have you ever seen
the proverb, "a fool and his money
are soon parted?" The one who runs
in debt is greater fool than the one
who merely spends his money. Don't
run in debt. Remember what the BIZ
Bile says: 1.-THE borrower is servant to
the lender."-Christian Advocate.

The Dogs Attraction to Man.

1t has often been mooted as vexed
question why all men of genius or great
uess are so fond of dogs. The reason
is not far to seek. Those who are great
or eminent in any way find the world
full of parasites, toadies, liars, fawners,
hypocrites. The incorruptible candor,
loyalty and honor of the dog are to such
like water in barren place to thirsty
traveller. The sympathy of your dog is
unfailing and unobtrusive. If you are
sad, so is he; and if you are merry,
none is so willing to leap and laugh
with you as he. For your dog you are
never old; whether you are in a palace
or a cottage he does not care, and fall
you as low as you may, you are his
providence and his idol still. The at
tachment of the dog to man outweighs
and almost obliterates attachment in
him to his own race. There is some
thing shocking to our high opinion of
him to see the callousness with which
he will sniff at the stiff body of brother
dog. He will follow his master to the
grave, and sometimes die on it; but the
loss of his own kind leaves him I'M
moved. | never knew more than one
exception to this; it was, however, a
noteworthy one. | bad two puppies of
the Molussus, commonly called the
Maremma, breed; large, white, very
beautiful dogs, with long hair; varying
in size between Newfoundland and
collie; the old Greek race of Watchdog
to which, quite certainly, Argos be-
longed. These puppies, named Pan
and Paris, lived together, fed, played
and slept together, and were never sep
arated for seven months. In the seventh
month Paris fell ill of distemper and
died. Now, by my own observation, 1
can declare that Pan nursed his brother
as assiduously as any boy could have
nursed another; licked him, brought
him tempting bits to eat; did all that he
could think of, and when his brother at
last lay there, cold and unresponsive to
his efforts, his grief and establishment
were painful to see. From that time
he ceased to play; from being very
lively dog he grew grave and sad; he
had wistful, wondering inquiry in his
eyes which was pathetic to behold; and
though he lived for many years after,
and was as happy as dog can be, he
never recovered his spirits; he had
buried his mirth in the grave of Paris.
Something was lost for him with his
brother which he never regained. This
is the only instance l have known of a
dogs love for another.-NorM Ameri-
can ReuieU.
