Idleness is the hotbed of temptation
the cradle of disease, the waster of time,
the canker worm of felicity.
There are two or three suggestions
for the times which are not impertinent
and may be helpful, First, have noth-
ing to do with false pride. Do not be
disturbed because others have what you
cannot obtain. Be contented to appear
poor. Do not be ashamed to wear old
clothes. Do not shrink from letting
friends know that you are pressed for
money. If you cannot continue to live
in the desirable neighborbood where
your present home is situated , move to
an obscurer one, where rents are lower.
If you earuct send your children to a
private school, place them for a while at
