OUR GIF LS AND BOYS AND TAXES.
I he taxes are indeed hisrh:and. it
those laid mi by the government were
the only oucs we had to pay, we
might more easily discharge them;
but we have many other-, and much
more grievous to some of us,
are taxed tw ice a- much bv our idle
ness, three times as much bv our
pride, mid loo; limes a- nuich bv
utirtolly; mid from these taxes the
commissioners eauuol ease or deliver
u by allowing an abatement. How
ever, hi us hearken tog I advice,
and something may lie done for us.
. , i . .i i .
n wouiu lie nought a liar
eminent that should tax its
one-tenth part of their time
employed in its service; but i
i gov
neople to be
lleness
sloth,
taxes maiiv of' us much more
iv bringing on diseases, absolutely
ihortens life. Sloth like rust, cyu-
sunies mster than laiior wear-, wmle
the used kev is nlwavs briirht, as
pior Richard savs. But dost thou
love life, then do not squander time,
for that 1- the -tntl lite i- made of.
ll time be of all things the most
precious, wa ting time must lie the
greatest prodigalitj' ; since "Iost
time is never found again," and
what we call lime enough, always
proves little enough.
Lei ii- then Iw up and doing, and
doing to the purpose bo by diligence
shall we do more with less perplex
ity. Sloth makes all things dit
ficult, but industn all easy; and he
that rises late, must trot all day, and
-hall scarce overtake his Imisum it
night ; whilu lasineSB travels so
-lowly that poverty soon overtakes
him. Drive thy business, let uot
it drive thee.
S what signifies wishing and
hoping for better times ? We may
make these rimes better, if we U-stir
ourselves. Me that hath a trade
hath an estate : and he that hath a
calling, hath an office of profit and
honor, but then the trade must be
worked at and the calling well fol
lowed : r neither the estate nor the
office will enable us to pay our taxes.
f we are industrious, we shall
never starve ; lor at the working
mail's house hunger looks in, but
dares not enter. Nor will the boilifl
or the constable enter, for industry
pays debt-, while despair increaseth
them. What though you have
found no treasure, nor has any rich
relation left a legacy. Diligence is
the mother of good luck, and (!od
giv.- all things to industry.
Labor disgraces i le; hence
honor to our girls and boys w ho see
tit to busy themselves at our Shoe
Factory: and thrice honor to all who
toil there day after day and make
themselves master of their trade.
Does it not till the heart.- of al'
our townspeople with gratitude and
good will when they hear tlie pat
tering of the feet of our girls and
boys as they pass over the pave
ments every morning to the factory.
Some weeks ago one of our boy
while in a store said, "The shoe fac
tory worked on me a little like
printer's ink. I cannot endure it.
It makes me sick and sore all over
my body with little pimples, and the
doctor said 1 must quit the factory
on account of blood poison." Hut
I am happy to say that the indus
trious boy is made of fully as good
stuff as the doctor himself, for he is
back in the factory again.
One to-day is worth two tomor
rows, never leave that till tomorrow
which you cap do to-day. If you
were servant, would you not lie
ashamed that a good master should
uatch you idle.' Are youthen your
own master '.' Be ashamed to catch
yourself idle, when there is so much
to be done for yourself, your father,
your mother, your family, your coun
try, Handle your tools without
mittens ; remember that "The t in
gloves catch no mice." It is true
there is much to Ik- done, and, per-
I haps you are weak handed, half sick,
I receiving halt pay, or no pay at all
-ome UiliMU sav
you can'f earn n
oit remember if
h, earn a little.
for it i far better than to idle away
your tune on the streets learning
bad habit like smoking, . hewing
or drinking : stick toil steadily, and
win uni nee grim results; tor
oll-
slant ilro
diligence and patience the mouse ate
in two the cable; and little strokes
fell great oak-."
Methinks I hear some of you say,

and a life ol laim -- are two things.
A mouth or more ago, one of our
good, stout, healthy looking, -ingle
men i ntercd a store and said, "Icii
hop ga-bard dps der sbrief hed de
-hoe factory stoo gashlosen,de whi-le

I wish some one would whisper i:i
