S9-Book and Job Printing of all kinds promptly and faithfully attended to. ' travagauoe, or unnecessary expenditure io food, clothing and pleasure, may just? ly bo regarded aa one of the most preva? lent ?nd ivla?ming evils of tho times. Those who uro caught up by4ts influence and burne Upon its swift tide, will ulti? mately end their career in ruin. The wrong of, extravagance beoomes manifest in a variety of ways, ft is wrong, be eaase muon precious time is consumed in meeting Tts demands. Thia gift of the Gasea?or was bestowed for a far higher said nobler purpose than thus to be squandered. It is wrong, because it tonds to destroy health and detract from bodily oomforts. Sickness and suffering are the inevitable results of partaking of food wbioh is too abundant iu quantity or too rioh in quality; of wearing cloth? ing aside moro to suit a corrupt taste than for convenience, and of indulging elssssifsiy in pleasures. It is wrong, bseansomuoh that is squandered in thia way, ie with bold from the proper objects of oeneVolence. The demands of chnri S' are numerous. The poor we havo ways with ns. The *'waste places" in our own land ought to be built up, and the. Word of Lifo carried to the "regions beyond.". It is wrong, because it is lia? ble to result in want and wretchedness. All aro in duty bound, while in health, to make suitable preparation for sickness and, old age. None have any right in this particular to presume upon the kind? ness of friends, or on God's special pro? vision. It is wrong, because it engages tho attention upon those things which are debasing in their nature. Man rises higher or.siuks lower as a moral being in proportion as his nttention is engaged by those things which are elevating or those whioh are debasing; and certainly the course of those who are.Slaves to ap? petite and to fashion, and devotees of pleasare, mast bo downward. It is wrong, because ho who indulges in it, fails to meet the highest ends of life here, and is hindered from making the needful pre? paration ?or the life to come. Ho who is wholly engrossed in the things of timo and sense, can givo no proper attention to those of eternity. Noone can really have* two objects of pursuit which are di? rectly antagonistic to each other. And, in st Word, it ia wrong, because it per? verts, the proper use of the bounties be? stowed, by an all-wise and benevolent Creator. These bounties were bestowed for use and not for abuse, and he only meets the approbation of the Giver, who uses them for the purpose for which they were designed. In view of these conside? rations, it is no wonder that the "NV vrd of God is severe in its denunciation of ex? travagance. I Cannot something be done to arrest its course and prevent the ruin whioh it is working? If so, What? A Detroit woman attempted to smug- j gie twenty-three pounds of butter across the line under her clothes. It melted and betrayed her. I ?mt---IMBI-MUM.wu. City Clerk's Office. :.
