Large sales and small profits must be his motto, especially if he would 
make it an object for farmers and others to do their trading at home. 
Merchants understand this, and we have no doubt they will be on hand 
with full supplies, and cheaper than the cheapest. 
The learned professions, too, will find it necessary to brush up a 
little—to make some additions to their capital stock. The lawyer will 
have to apply himself to his authors to ascertain what kind of advice to 
give his clients when times are prosperous, and everybody too good- 
natured to quarrel.

from its commencement—crave their continued co-operation, and hope 
the good we anticipate to ourselves may not be without its particular 
benefit to them. 
Ane now, in conclusion, permit me to say, it is the high privilege as 
well as the sacred duty of every one of us, to labor for the improvement 
of ourselves and.each other, and endeavor, to the utmost of our ability, 
to leave the world at least a little better than we found it. But, in order to 
succeed in this effort, we must cultivate other provinces of thought than 
merely those which belong exclusively to the development of our know-
