A Judge in Georgia lias most uuex- j pcclcdly found himself thrust into prominence over all his brethren ?mi r lollow-citizons, ami become the centre ot' the admiring and envious regard of die people of hall a continent, in eon- * sequence ol' making the simple remark ih.it be never goes to sleep at night li until be bas paid every cent of obliga tion incurred dui ing the day, andean Jj lie down knowing (bat be is free of debt. , Happy man! Wi-e dodge! Excep tional individual I, The brief state ment of bis simple rule of conduct bas c caught the eye of paragrapher in every purl of ?bc land, ami every day i ibero flouts into the News and Courier 1 Hice one or more newspapers bearing inc inevitable announcement, wllioil I | we have quoted, with suitable bead- | lines to cad attention io the fact which il,sets forth and to impress the lesson which it teaches. If one may judge ( from the interest which Ha; Statement has excited, a man who goes to bed at hight without owing anybody a cent, J alfords as rare an item for a* vigilant prc>s as thc man who bas never trav eled In rail, nor tasted a drep of ardent t spirit in his life. Of course there are ( other such tuen, besides the (?eory;ia jurist, but people do not hear of them. , flioy hide in the shadow of content- i meut, and live at home-because thoy have homes to live at. One may go on t making debts and paying them, after a j lime, tor years together, and nobody be aware of the fact besides himself and the anxious parties of thc (Uber i part. Hut let him once fail. L?t the j financial sun go down on thc third day ' of grace and grief, and his sbortconi inirjwill be heralded to all the world I next morning, lu ?oder to travel i safely with a crowd going down hill < one must keep bis feet and keep mov ing, however painful and breathless i ! thc gait may bc. If bc fall bc will be ( trampled and sorely bruised; tor not | many will slop to pick him up. His nearest friends, indeed, will be only , too happy if they are not pulled down . willi him, ordo lad stumble over bim. , Ii ia probably a rare thing to find a . mau who keeps wholly out of debt, at ! all limes; who squares accounts with j . the world every dav. If there were many it is uni likely that we should '? have beard of the gentleman over in i Goorgia so promptly ami so persistent* < ly. Il mar bc that von owe only a few thousands, or a few hundreds, or ? a few units of dollars, and that your , assets are far in access of your habib- ; tics. If so, blessed are yon; but your | , posilion is not on the bench alongside i ? of our Georgia exemplar. Your proper place is on thc anxious seal ; and doubtless you occupy 'A much of your lime, in tho solitude of your office or your library. If thc balance is against you, of course, though ever so little, and liar surplus assets arc not in 1 , sight, your case is the common one. 1 i You are in debt. If you own a dollar, 1 and owe a dollar and a din e only, you belong to the great majority. You I are ten cents behind, and the odds are ! that you will find it hard work to ? caleb up. That dime is the measure (d' most of your present troubles, li ' is bigger in your eyes than the dollar, ( and well nigh blots OU tribe light (d' tho j sun. Il weighs yon down by its ab , senc.e. It felters your bands because I bey con not touch it. The tinv euglo , stamped upon it grows and becomes a , vulture lo prey noon your vitals, while vou, a modern Prometheus, arc help lessly chained to the rock of debt. Thc safest way is (he best way. You , will bc richer and happier and stronger ' j in every way for denying yourself I whatever von cannot buy outright - i what you have not yet earned. The . borrower is servant to thc louder, and , if you would be truly free-free from obligation, und annoyance, and anxie ty, ami sometimes almost despair borrow Heit HCl' money nor goods (bat , must bc paid for "a littlo later." If , you are in debt, or have been in debt, ' you do not need lo be told what it , means. If von have never been in debi, and arc not now in debt, do not r seek lo learn by experience what it means. The difference, in fewest words, is the difference between bav . ing votir mo?t h under water and hav [ ing it out of water. When thc tide is nt your chin-when I yon are living opto your income-it is 1 ! bud enough. Another inch means drowning, and another dollar ot debt 1 means that final incl). Il is of not much practical moment whether tia; I waters cover your eyes only, or go over your bcatl. You are in debt, arc ' , in the sea of (rouble, and can never I ' draw another peaceful breath until the J warters subside. ( 'i here are other than pecuniary debts, | j it remains to bc said, and these also ? , should bo avoided. Meet every obit* ? galion which presses upon you. There | are bankrupts who have a fair balanc? to their credit in thc bank. He not of these, either. Hay your debt, every day, lo your child, your wife, you. neighbor and your (bal. So only may you lay your bead on your pillow in pence every night, and so, at thc clos ing hours of your brest day, may you lie lo your final rest as one who wraps 1 thc drapery of bis couch about him 1 and lies down lo pleasant dreams. < A TKKHIBI.K TALK OFTIIK SKA.
