Viewing the thing at a distance at a distance of dine they view ii in a false mirror In the days of our outh, and, as to many of ik. even m to the d&ys of our old age, we are apt to feel as if we should be mijrhtr a'!r to pay a uebd iix months or a hvclvnn mth hence Imagina tion furnishes us with ways and means in abundance for aftertimes, though we e none for the present.

For what is past there is no help ; but the dls of past experience should teach us prudence for the time t come. Running in debt is a serious but iness, w hieh, if propi r caution be wanting, jeopardises not only property, l et chs acter also, and personal freedom. Oi those who
