MONEY IS
ANONYMOUS !

The Use a man makes of his money,
as we'll as the ways he takes to get it,
furnishes a very close test of what he
is. His account book is a better index
to his life than his private journal. The
conversion which does not unloose the
purse strings of the covetous, and close
more firmly those of the spendthrIft,
Is a sham and a failure. In no way
will a man disclose high character
more effectually than by thorough
trustworChiness in the management of
the funds coUfted to his care either
by God or his fellow m n.
There are no better rules for the
right use OF money than John Yves
ley's: Got all you Can, save all you
can, give all you can" Some other
good rules that should be committed
to heart by every young man. are the
following: IN -ver borrow where there
is a chance that you may not be able
to repay n yer lend what you are not
prepared to give; never guarantee for
another what you cannot fulfill if the
other should fail. Save more than you
spend. Lay by something every year
if it be bu5 q dollar. If you cannot in
crease your means, then diminish your
wants" He who adheres to these
rules will inevitably acquire q compe,
tence, will taste the joys of financial
Independence, and the still higher joys
of an untarnished character and wide
spread usefulness
