Borrow for the necessities: tht .y be well, Borrow for the luxuries, that b" your prospects over in the wrong direction. t The Bible distinctly says the borrower servant of the lender. It is a bad state e things when you have to go down some other street to escape meeting some one wom y ou owe. If young men knew what is the des potism of being in debt. more cf themwo I keep out of it. What dtI debt dofor Lor Bacon. with a mind towering above the cen turies? It induced him to take bribes and convict himself as a criminal before all ages. What did debt do for Walter Scott, broken hearted at Abbotsford' Kept him writing until his hand gave out in paralysis, to keep the sheriff away from his pictures and statu ary. Better for him if he had minded the maxim which he had chiseled over the are e at Abbotsford, --Waste not. wart not. The trouble is, my friends, that people do not understand the ethics of going in deb.:, and that if you purchase goodis with no ex pectation of paying for them or go i'o debts which you cannot meet you steal gust so "ucn money. If I go into a grocer s store an' I buy sugars and coffees and meas wita no capacity to pay ior themn and no intention o paying for them, I am more disho es -a if I go into the store, and, when the gr-ocer's face is turned the other way, I dil my pock ets with the articles of merchandise and1 car ried off a ham. In the one case I take mer chant's time and I take the time of" hs mes' senger to transfer the goods to my bouse, while in the other case I take none of the time of the merchant and I wait upon my e: and I transfer the goods without any t- ouble to him. In other words, a sneak thief i4 "4t so bad as a man who contracts debts he nev er expects to pay. Yet in all our cities there are families 'trho move every MIay day to get into proximity to other grocers and meatsho ps and apothe ca ries. They owe everybody within half a mile of where they~now live, and next 3May they will move into a distant. part of the city, finding a new lot off victims- Xean while you, the honest family in the new house, are bothered day by day by the knocking at the door of disappointed bakers and butchers and d-v goods dealers and newspaper carriers, and you are asked where your predecessor is. You do not know. It was arranged you should not know. M1ean while your predecessor has gone to some dis tant part cf the city, and the people who have anything to sell have sent their wagons and stopped there to solicit the -valuable" custom of the new neighbor, and he. the new neighbor, with great complacency and an air of atiiuence, orders the finest steaks anu tne highest priced sugars and the best of the canned fruits and perhaps all the newspa pers. And the debts will keep on accuma Waing until he gets his goods on the ::.Mh of next April in the furniture cart. No wonder that so many of our merchants fail in business. They are swindled into bankruptcy by these wandering Arabs. these nomads of city life. They cheat the grocer out of the green apples which make them sick- the physician who attends them during their distress, and the undertaker who fits them out 5cr departure from the neighborhood where they owe everybody when they pay the debt off nature, the only debt they ever do pay. Now our ycung men are coming up in :nps depraved state of commercial ethics. and I am solicitous about them. I want to wrn them against being slaughtered on th hp edges of debt.
