TEN REASONS FOR PAYING YOUR DEBTS. 



The Cliiislian's Reasons. 



1. The Christian member of society pays his 

 debts, first, because he is ordered to do so in the 

 bible, where we are told to " Render unto Cssar 

 the thiiigs that are Ctesar's, and to God the thin^rs 

 that arc God's ;"' and to " Oive no man any thjnjr." 



2. The Christian won Id strictly observe the 

 eighth comniandineiit, " Thou shalt not steal ;" and 

 defrauding a man of his due, is stealing ; for the 

 tradesman lends upon faith and honor, and does nut 

 give. 



3. The Christian pays promptly all he owes, 

 from a motive of justice and benevolence. He 

 ■wishes both to love and succor his neighbor, and 

 will not be instrumental in the ruin of others. 



The PnlrioVs Reasons. 



4. The patriot knows that one act of justice is 

 worth six of charity — that justice helps the worthy, 

 and corrects the unworthy, while charity too often 

 succors but the latter. 



5. The patriot considers the evils that ensue 

 from the more wealthy man leaving his poorer 

 neighbor unpaid ; that by that means the steps of 

 the great ladder of society are broken ; the first 

 ruin beginning with the merchant, who can no 

 longer pay his workmen, and continuing to the 

 workman's child, who is deprived of clothes, food, 

 or instruction. 



G. The patriot pays his debts from a love of his 

 country, knowing that the system of non-payment, 

 pursued to a certain extent, would bring a general 

 bankruptcy on the nation. 



The Man of the World's Reasons. 



7. The man of the world pays his debts, because 

 he is convinced that honesty is the test policy. 



8. The man of worldly calculation is aware, that 

 by the immediate payment of his debts as fast as 

 they are incurred, he purchases peace of mind, se- 

 cures the confidence of all, and becomes acquaint- 

 ed with his income, his means, and resources. 



9. The man of the world wishes for a comforta- 

 ble old age, and knows that he has but little chance 

 for it if he is cumbered with debt. 



10. The man of the world knows the full force 

 of being " an honest man" — that it will carry him 

 through the world prosperous and respected ; and 

 that he cannot lay claim to that name if he neglects 

 to pay his debts. — London Speclator. 



Thurlow Weed, Esq., of Albany, in a letter 

 from England, says : 



" I was recently expressing my surprise to an 

 English gentleman that London should be so com- 

 paratively free from crime and disorder. I say 

 comparatively, because you hear of and see more 

 burglaries nnd violence in New York than in this 

 great I'.abylon. He replied that the principal 

 cause foi this was in the circumstance, that a law- 

 breaker, when convicted, was transported, and did 

 not return, as with us, to commit second offences. 

 Another reason, he very frankly admitted, was, 

 that they had shipped off great numbers of their 

 rascals to America. Persons from all parts of 

 England, of dissolute character, who iiad entered 

 or were entering upon a career of depredation, 

 were first sent to the workhouses, and from thence 

 to America, their passages being paid by the au- 

 thorities." 



Bishop Hughes, who is now travelling in Eu- 

 rope, in one of Ins letters, says he was glad to es- 

 cape from the wretchedness and want and physical 

 suffering which surroui;ded him every where in 

 Ireland. He adds — " It is not only beggars who 

 are poor and destitute : those who would fain 

 gain something by work, can hardly do so. Look 

 at yon old woman, sitting down in the market-place 

 of the town : she has come five miles on font with 

 her produce for sole ; and what is it ? Two egs;s ! 

 On my credit, two eggs, and nothing in the world 

 besides ; and for these, perhaps, she will get two 

 pennies (four cents) and wend her way five miles 

 home to her hut, to wait till her single hen shall 

 lay more." 



Most Sin^idar Circumslance. — The Rev. Mr 

 Burnham, minister of the society now worshipping 

 at the Odeon, called upon us this morning, and re- 

 lated the following strange story, which, had he 

 not been a clergyman, we could hardly have be- 

 lieved. One evening last week, the reverend gen- 

 tleman's wife was taken suddenly and seriously 

 ill, when, during a violent fit of vomiting, she 

 ejected a live frog, about half grown ! The frog 

 hopped half way across the room, and then, with 

 something like dramatic dignity, laid down on his 

 back, and expired. Mrs liurnham supposes that 

 she took the frog into her stomach in the tadpole 

 state, while drinking water in the night. Mr Burn- 

 ham remarked to us that, although not much af- 

 frighted, yet he was considerably surprised at wit- 

 nessing such a strange addition to his family ! —

A printer, whose talents were but indifferent, 

 turned physician. He was asked the reason of it. 

 " In printing," said he, " all the faults one com- 

 mits, are exposed to the eye ; but in physic, they 

 are buried with the patient."

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have liecn made the past year i 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs; the muiihi I 

 has heen so formed as to lay the Jurrmo complelehi 

 liiriihisr in crcry parlule nf grans or sluhble, and lenrnt 

 ground in the best possible manner. The leiiath ol 

 mould hoard has he a very much increased, so ilia 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, holh wjih respe 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the late 

 of Ploughs at Worrester, say, 



" Should nur opinion he asked as to which of the Pic 

 we should prefer for nse on a farm, we might perhaps s 

 the inquirer, it your land is mostly light^and easy lo 

 try Prouty & Mears, hul if your land is'hcavij, hard on 



BEGIN WITH Mr. HoWAUd'b." 



At the ahove mer.tloned trial the Howard Plougl 

 more jcork, trith the same p^wer of team, than ant, 

 plough exhibited. A'o other turned more than twenty: 

 and one half inches, to the 112 Ihs. draught, whi! 

 Howard Plough turned twenlynive and oncliaif ind 

 the same poicer of team ! All acknowledge that How 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most sulistan 

 made. 



There has heen quite an improvement made on the 

 or land side of litis Plough, which can be renewed wi 

 having lo furnish a newlandside: this shoe likewise se 

 the mould hoard and landside together, and strenglhei 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 In $15. A PI 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost 

 S;o 50, and with cutler Si, with wheel and culler, 

 extra.
