; , RUNNING IN DEBT.
I dwell on tliis . point, , for I would
deter' others from entering that place
of torment. Half the young men in
this country, with rflany old enough to
know better, would go into business.
'f, that is, Into debt to-morrow if
- thy could. Most poor men are bo
;' ignorant as to envy the merchant or
manufacturer, whose life is an incess
ant struggle with pecuniary ' difficult-ties,
who is" drlteti to constant "shin
ning," and who, froui month to month,
barely evades the insolvency which.
sooner or later-ovrtakes tuqst men
iu business ; so that it has" been com
puted that but one roau iu twenty bf
" them achieve a pecuniary success.
o For my prnrt, I had rather be a con
" vict in the State prison, a slave in a
- rich swamp, than to pass through' life
under the harrow of debt. Let no.
' .roan misjudge himself unfortunate, or
' V truly ioor, so long as he has his limbs
and faculties, and is .substantially
free from debt. Hunger, cold, rags,
; hard work, contenpt, suspicion, un
l" just ' reproach are disagreeable, but
'v debt is infinitely worse than them
v U. And if it had pleased God to
spare either or all my sons to be the
support of-my Reclining years, the
' lesson which I should most earnestly
seek to impress upon them is, never
' run in debt. Avoid pecuniary obliga-
tions m you would pnstilence or fam-
. . If you have but fifty cents, and can
1 ' get no more for a week, buy a peck of
' corn, parch it, and live on it rather
tlia owe a dollar 1 Of course I know
that some men must do business that
involves a risk, and must give notes or
other obligations, and I do not consid
er him in debt who can lay his hands
directly on the means of pavine. at
: V some little sacrifice, all he owes ; I
J apeak of real debt that which in
' voltes risk or sacrifice on one side,
obligation and ..dependence on the
pother and I say from all Buch, let
every youth humbly pray God to
' preserve him ever more. Horace
