that no man could fail who saw clearly
what he was doing. Some men, it is
true, have the faculty of carrying their
affairs in their heads, and Of keeping
them before their intellectual vision
without the aid of books, but they are
few in number. An illiterate person
who cannot read and write dispenses
with books from necessity, and gen.
ius may do it from choice, but ordinary
men had better avail themselves of all
the aids to memory at their command.
Those of my readers who have
struggled along with me thus far in
my dissertation are probably expecting
me to wind up with the usual hack
neyed moral of the application of book
keeping and conduct, and to speak OF
the balance that will be struck for
each one of US at the Day of Judgment
between our good and our evil deeds,
but I shall disappoint them. I believe
that good and evil are incommensura-
ble-that is, that there is no such COM
munity of nature between them that a
given quantity of the one can be
set off against given quantity OF
the other, any more than sound
can be balanced against color, or sweet
ness against light. The idea that a
record is kept in heaven of mans
conduct, his sins being entered on one
page and his virtues and his benevo-
lent actions on the page opposite, orig
mated, I believe, with Mohammed,
and is unworthy of an intelligent
Christian. My idea is, that the bal
ance which tells in favor Of mans
character is the preponderance of his
coed over his evil inclinations, and
that this preponderance is not de-
termined by the number Of his sins
and Of his merits. If I may venture
to offer advice on so serious subject,
and one apparently so far removed from
that of finance, it is not to trust to the
expectation that even single sin will
be nullifed by hundred, of good deeds.
The sin may result from predomi-
nant disposition, whereas the opposite
acts may be only fictitious and hypo-
critical. Habit, it IS we'll said, is Sec
ond nature, and it is a balance Of good
habits which we ought to aim at, and
not merely balance Of good deeds.

Disagreeable as it is to face the Ut
pleasant facts which tue balancing OF
books brings to view, the experience
cannot and ought not to he avoided. l
even recommend to my friends who
are not in business to keep a set of
books by double entry for their private
affails, and to balance them once a
year, the same as merchants and
bankers. Any one who has head enough
to deserve and own property at all is
able to do this with very little instruc-
ton. The advantage of keeping set
Of books is that man by il has his
affairs always under his observation as
q whole, and knows exactly where be
stands financially. He sees his income
and his expenditures side by side, and
is warned in time if his expenditure is
outrunning his income. So, too, by
keeping separate account for each in
vestment he can tell its value and
whether It IS worth retaining or
whether it should be disposed Of Even
so little OF an account as cash book is
better than none. I once advised a
young lady of my acquaintance, when
she married and went to housekeeping,
to put down in book everything she
spent and what she spent it for. She
did not do it very :; ccurately, and often,
I fear, forced balance by an entry of
'.SUndrieS," bu, she soon after acknowl-
edged 10 me that but for keeping the
account, imperfectly as she did it, she
would have suspected her servants Of
stealing money from her purse, so
quickly did it melt away, and so difficult
was il to remember what it had goue for
without referring to the written record.
What is thus important for wife is
still more important for her husband.
Without some kind Of account Of
his receipts and his expenses he is al
wavs at sea in regard to his true tinan-
cial condition. Our old Dutch ances-
tors used to say Of man when be
failed in business that he had not kept
correct books, it being their conviction
