I'd aid in such and such be nevolent plans. I would do a great deal of good, but I am so much en gaged that I have not a spare mo ment to devote to anything but my business. The man is innocent in the declerations. He really believes what he says. He does'nt know, because he never experienced it, that leisure is the mother of indolence, and that if he had plenty of one he would ninety-nine chances of a hundred have the other in exact proportion. If 1 had leisure t»ays the merchant, I would pay more attention to my accounts and try and collect my debts more punctually—chance if you are not mistaken, friend. If you had le : - sure, probably you would pay less at tention to the mattci than you now do. The thing you want is not more lei sure but uipre resolution. The spirit to do to do more, my word for it, after all, you waste—actually waste more time than vould be necessary to ac complish all ycu desire. If I had time, says a mechanic I should have my work done in season. The man thinks his time has been all occupied when he was not at work at sunrise— quit work an hour before dark, smok ed a cigar after dinner, and spent two hours in the street talking non sense with an idler. If I had leisure I'd repair that weak place in my fence said a farmer. lie had not leisure, however, and whilo he was drinking cidej- with a neighbor the cows broke in and destroyed his crop. He found leisure to plant it over. If I had leisure, said my friend the wheel wright, last winter, I'd alter my stove pipe. He did not find leisure though but when his shop took fire and burnt 4own he had time tj make and build another. If 1 had leisure I'd some times goto meeting, old Tom Rat tling used to say, but he found so inucli better business, as ho called it on Sundays, that he never got there He's dead and gone now, poor soul, but he regretted at his dying day xhat he had played the cheat upon himself s > and he could but murmur too lato, too late. People are very apt to be mistaken in this affair of leisure. There are very few men w'ho put every hour of their time to the best use. Often those who have the least to do don't half do that lit tle, while those who are most engaged do every thing thoroughly. I'll give a plain illustration (irawn from every •daye•experience. If you want any matter, whether of profit or charity done expeditiously, and well done too, goto not the man who half his time stands or sits with h>B hands in his breeches pockets, but the very iden tical person who being a thorough bu siness doing man is always at work. That is the man for you. An idler .from habit regards everything that requires a little labor, study or con finement as an ant looks on a mole hill—it seems a mountoin. But an industrious man looks at the labor before him with the eye of a man •who is not afraid of it. And here is the secret spring of his ability : he does not loiter or hesitate, he acts promptly, and at once.— Geneset Farmer.
