THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, APRIL 22, 1886. -DOUBLE SHEET, t f r T! HE IS RJS,EN. 3 ClilA H. PORTER. Very early In tho morning. Ere tho light shone in the east, ! Ere the stars announced the dawning Of the day t God's behest; Early to the tomb of Jesus J Came the loving watchers near : . But two shining ones approached them, Sayingn "Jesus is.not here! ; 'He is risen!' -Lord of glory! "He is risen !"- earth to bless ! ; Ilipea with the wings of healing. Risen Lord of righteousness 1 Vanquished now are sin and sat an . Conquered, man's last cruel foe 1 Christ hath Death's strong fortress taken. That the world his peace may know. Peace which passeth understanding; Peace that earth takes not away ; peace within the soul abiding, i ' Ruling all with gentle sway. Strength by which to battle daily j With the powers of hell and sin : t ;race to conquer in the conflict, If his Kingdom we would win- JOHN PLOUGHMAN'S TALK, To earn money is easy compared with spending it well; anybody may dig'up potatoes, bnt it is not one wo man in ten that can cook them. Men do not become rich by what they get, but by what they save. Many men who have money are as short of wit as a hoer is of wool; they are under the years of discretion though they have turjaed fdrty, and makes ducks and drakes of hundreds as boys, do of stones. What their fathers got witn the rake they throw away with the shovel. After the miser comes the prodigal. Often men say of the spend thrift his old father was no man's friend but his own, and now the son is no man's enemy but his own: the fact b, the old gentleman went.to hell by the lean road, and his son has made ip his mind to go there by the fat. , As soon as the spendthrift gets his estate it goes like a lump of butter in a grey hound's mouth. All his days are the first of April; he would buy an elephant at a bargain, or thatch his house with pancakes, nothing is too foolish to tickle his fancy; his money burns holes in his pocket, and he must squander it, always boasting, that his motto is, "Spend, and God will send. lie Will not stay 1111 ue uas ms siieep before he shears them; he forestalls his income, draws upon his capital, and so kills the goose which lays the golden eggs, and cries out, -Who would have thought it?" He never spares at the brim, but he means, he says, to save at the bottom. He bor rows -at high interest -cof Rpb'em,' Cheat'em. and Sell'emup, and when he gets cleaned out, he lays it all either upon the lawyers or else on the bad times. Times never were good for lazy prodigals, and if they were good; to them they would be bad for all the world besides. Why men should be in such a hurry to make themselves beggars is a myssery, but nowadays, what with betting at horse races, laziness, and speculating, there seems to be a regular four horse coach running to Needham every day. Ready-money must be quite a curios ity to some men, and yet they spend like lords. They are gentlemen with out means, which is much the same as plum puddiifgs without plums. Spendind your moriey with many a guest, Krnptiea the larder, the cellar and cnest. If a little gambling is thrown in with , the fast living, money melts like a snowball in an oven. A. young gamb ler is sure to be an old beggar if he , Jives long enough, . The devil leads him by tho nose, 1 W ho t W(j d ice so of ten throws. There are more asses than tliose with four legs. I am sorry to say they are found among working men as well as fine gentlemen. Fellows who have no estate but their labor, and no family arms except those they work with, will yet spend their little hard earnings at the beer shop or in waste. No sooner re their wages paid than away they go to the "Spotted Dog," or the "Mar quis of Granby," to contribute their share of fools' pence towards keeping up the landlord's red face and round corporation. Drinking water neither makes a man sick nor m debt, nor his wite a widow, and yet some men hardly know the flavor of it; but beer guzzled down as it is by many a work ing man, is nothing better than brown ruin. Dull, droning blockheads sit on the ale bench and wash out what little sense they ever had. However, I believe that farming, people are a deal - better managers with their monev than Londoners are, for though their money is very little, their families look nice, and tidy on Sundays. True, the rent isn't so bad in a, village as in the town, and there's a,t)it of garden; still, those Londohers'earn a deal of money, and they have many chances or ouying in a cheap market which the poor countryman has not; and, on; the whole. 1 think 'tis verv erood man agement which keeps a family going on ten sniinngs a week in the country, and bad management that cari't pay its. way on five and twenty in London. 1TTI ' e ' v ny, some iamiaes areas merry as mice in malt, yon very snrall wages, and others are as wretched as rats in a trap on double the amount. 1 Those who wear the shoe know best where it pinches, but economy is a fine thing, and makes ninepence go further than a shilling. Some make soup out of a nint, and others can't get nourishment out of gravy beef. Some go to shop wuq as mucn wit as bampson had in both his shoulders, but no more; they dp npt buy well ; they have not sense to lay out their money to advantage. Buyers ought to have a hundred eyes, but these have not even half a one. and they do not open that; well was it said that if fools did not go to market uaa wares would never be sold. They neyer get a pennyworth for their pen ny, ana mis orten because they are on inenunt tor cheap things, and forget that generally the cheapest is the dear est, and one cannot buy a good shil lings worth ot a bad article. When there s hve eggs a penny, four of them are rotten. Poor men often buy in very sman quantities and so nay through the nose; for a' man who buys by the pennyworth keeps his own bouse and another man's. Why not ; get two or three weeks' supply at once, and so get it cheaper? Store is no sore. People are often saving at the wrong place, and spoil, the ship for a haVorth. of tar; others look after small savings and! forget greater things; they arepenny wise and pound foolish; they spare at the spigot, and Jet air run away at the bunghole. Some buy things they don't want, be cause they are great, bargains; let me tell them that that they do not want s dear at a farthing. He has his money -best spent who has the best wife. The husband may earn money, but only the wife can save it. "A wise woman buildeth her house' but the foolhh plucketh it down with Via f hands." The wrfft it - J WVVVlLiv ing to Solomon, is the builder or the real puller down. A man cannot pros per till he gets his wife's! leave. A thrif ty housewife is better than a great income. A good wife and! health are a man's best -wealth.; -Bless .their hearts, what would we do without them? It is said that they like to have their own way, but then the proverb says, a wife ought to have her will during life, because she cannot make one when she dies. j 'Heaven bless the wives, they fill our hives With little bee and honey! i They soothe life's shocks, they mend our socks - Dut don't they spend the money!" i . MISTAKEN IDEAS. Early in life the thought occurs that to throw off the guidiance and direc tion of parents, and; friends, to be self directed, is manly. To adopt the habits, the manners, the course of life of companions, however objectionable that course may be, is manly, lnou sands, tens of thousands,! have been ruined bv imitating what are wrongly termed manly habits. No well brought- up boy but would te'el a blush or shame on ordering and drinking spirits for the first time in a public place, "" but presently in imitation of those who do riot blush, the manly habit of drink ing would be contracted,; and a life commenced which tnight end in con firmed drunkenness. Theconscience, before it is seared and dulled, is ever true in its pointing ito the! right path; its faintest doubts should ; lead away from temptation with the strength of unvieldinsr determination. lhere should be no parleying or reasoning: when conscience says: fo. i Conscience is the manliest instiher'and to obey its teaching, and to follow -its leading, isH in the highest and best jjense to be manly. V , That which degrades and lowers at man's selfrespect, which causes him in his better moments, when true to himself, to think meanly " of his con duct, and to blush j at the thought of the course he has pursued, cannot be manly in any sensed Manliness is the Sarent of fearliness., Only he that has one wrong, shuns the light and dreads exposure. There is no more glorious sight in creation than a fearless, hon est, and upright man. What has he to fear or dread? "From Self-effort." MODERN MAXIMS. Poverty may be no disgrace; but most men are willing to take their chances with the camel in getting through the eye of .that needle. Sweet are the uses of adversity; but give us a little lemoi and shekels. Life is short and art is long; but a good many artists are like life. Truth is stranger than fiction; but the romances of the average out-of-town correspondent are stronger than both. The youth who is attentive to his studies may some day create a panic in Wall Street. Birds of a feather flock together: bu not when you are out shooting. All men are born equal; but they usually get over it long before reach ing middle life. Knowledge may be power, but the dancine: man can erive the Greek pro fessor points, and then double-discount him, in society Xever look a gift-horse in the mouth. Sell him for what you can get, and let the other fellow look. Puck. ALPHABET OF PROVERBS. A grain of produce is worth a pound of craft. Boasters are cousins to liars. Confession of a fault makes half amends. Denying a fault doubles it. Envy shoot eth at others andwound eth herself. Foolish fear doubles danger. , God reaches us good things by our hands. He has hard ease whef has nothing to do. I It costs more to revenge wrongs than to bear them. Knavery is the worst trade. Learning makes a man fit company for himself. Modesty is a guard to virtue. Not to hear conscience is the way to silence it. One hour to-day is worth two to morrow. Proud looks make foul work in fair faces. . Quiet conscience giyes quiet sleep. Richest is he that wantsjleast. Small faults indulged are little thieves that let in greater The boughs that bear most hang lowest. Upright walking is sure walking. Virtue and happiness are mother and daughter. Wise men make more opportunities than they find. You never lose by doing a good turn. Zeal without knowledge is fire with out light. LEMON ELIXIR. A Christian Editor's Fxperience, Hev. G. K. Lynch, publisher of the Alabama Christian Advocate, Birmingham, writes: I travel all over the State; my friends say they find Dr. Mozley's Lemon Elizir a most excel lent Medicine. My bookkeeper and foreman both use it in place Of calomel, pills, etc. A Prominent Minister Writes. Dr. Mozley Dear Sir: After ten years of great suffering from indigestion or dyspepsia, with great nervous prostration and biliousness disordered kidneys and constipation. I have been cured by four bottles of your Lemon Elixir, and am now a well man. Rev. C C. Davis, Ell. M. E. Church, South. No. 28, Tatnall St., Atlanta, Ga.
