but I am sure those who have experienced it will vouch for 
its truth. I have known that money due to the amount of 
three or four hundred pounds, has come in so slowly, and in 
such little sums, that where claims were large and impera¬ 
tive it all ebbed away, under such disadvantages, that it 
I seemed to leave the recipient unconscious of ever having 
received it. A sum received in the lump, even at a long date, 
effects more real good, than when scattered like dust over a 
somewhat less portion of time. If this is the case with 
i large sums, where means are crippled, how much more so 
must it be when they are so very small as to need our utmost j 
efforts to exist without distress or debt! 
When our income is regularly paid, it is an excellent plan 
to set apart particular sums required for stated objects— 
to seal them up in paper, each labelled with its destined 
application, and to lock them up in a safe place. I have 
known this plan adopted with success and comfort, by one 
lady in particular, whose income did not call for any strict 
economy indeed, but whose abhorrence of debt, and know¬ 
ledge of human infirmity, led her to guard sedulously 
against it. 
Rent, taxes, rates,—any bills that may have come in, and 
cannot, from some inconvenience, be instantly paid,—in fact, 
all fixed and ascertained expenses should be thus laid by, 
and then the overplus is ready for the weekly consumption, 
and we are not dreading the visit of the tax gatherer, and 
the terrors of “quarter day." We all, I daresay, feel how 
unsafe it is to have money lying by us, how busy our fancies 
are to conjure up reasons why something “ very cheap,” or “ so 
extremely useful,” is actually wanted, and that such a trades 
man will not send in his bill, or want his money if he does 
send it in, for some time to come, so that we may venture 
thus to employ it just this once. All this is dangerous trifling, 
and leads from small beginnings to disagreeable if not down¬ 
right dishonest results. Let us honestly and steadily seal 
up our money as it comes in, and shut our eyes to every 
thing, however useful and desirable, that any one else's 
money must be employed to buy. 
“ Owe no man anything, but to love one another," is a 
Scriptural command; and although there are, unhappily, 
cases in which debt and difficulty arise, over which we have 
no control, yet these are few in comparison with such as are 
brought on by carelessness, folly, and extravagance, and the 
honest, God-fearing heart, will strain every nerve to pay all, 
even to “ the very last mite."
