Beading Matter on Every Pago.
Keep Out of Debt.
If you would prosper in the world, keep
ont of debt Pay as you go. That 1* the
only safe polio;. If your ooat Is old,
wear it until you oan conveniently spare
the money for anew one. Vou will le»l
better with a scanty wardrobe and ready
cash for necessary expenditures, than in
••store clothes” aud with importunate
creditors at every street, oorner. We do
not envy the feelings of that man, how
ever genteelly dressed and oomfortable to
external appearances, who is in constant
apprehension of a “dun,” and who must
submit, with the best grace he may, to
that humiliating ordeal for the reason
that he has thoughtlessly incurred re
sponsibilities whioh he oannot discharge.
“Tho borrower is servant to the lender."
The rule has Us exceptions, but they are
rare If you would be independent, keep
out of dnbt. If you would not oourt
oppression and petty tyranny, keep out of
debt. If you would not inour premature
old age, mental prostration and broken
spirits, keep out of debt. If you would
meet your fellow man upon terms of equali
ty, keep out of debt. Debt is demorali
zing in Us tendency. It suggests Deoeit,
Prevarication, Forgery, Theft. It makes
enemies of friends, slaves of freemen, and
paupers of helpless wives and Innocent
children. Avoid it as you would the
wreckers’s beacon. It is the stepping
ftbne to finanoial and social ruin.
Boos your pride (or your wife’s vanity)
protest against that old fushionod, close
fleted, but safe policy of buying only
when you have tho money to pay down ?
Then your pride runs in improper chan
nels. It has bean wholly raißiiireotod,
anil needs educating ; and the stfoner you
set about tho reformation the better.
Call to mind iho men of your acquaint
ance who have been most successful in
lifo. How many among them didyou ever
know to buy a hat, a coat, or carriage or
piece of furniture on a crodit? They
have always lived within their inoomo. If
they began the world poor, they were not
ashamed to live poor until by patient in
dustry and prudent economy, they be
oumo able to live better. They never In
curred debt with only a vague, half de
fined uncertain prospect of paying—of
paying promptly at tho time speeified,
and not a week, or a month, or a year
afterward.
But business men must sometimes incur
debt. True. But they cannot du so and
be successful, 'without seeing clearly how
and when they can pay. They o&unot
and will not trust to luok in suoh impor
tant matters. Suoocsaful business men
never trust to luok. They base their
promises upon foots well defined and fa
miliarized by the plain rules of Arithme
tic. They carefully measure the proba
bilities and possibilities intervening be*
the day of promiament and the day of
paymnnt Thu* --J
ble somcithing whioh is oxpacted to ‘ turn
up,” never enters into the calculations of
a cautious business man.
Live within your inoomo and hops for
better limes. Eoouomy is not only a com
mendable virtue, but is likewise a Chris
tian duty. Live within your inoomo and
be independant; for there is a nobility in
independanoo which oannot be obscured
by an old and unfashionable dress, nor by
a humble abode eren. Live within your
inoome, and thus leave your children the
proudest earthly heritage—an honest
name and no insolvent estates.

Erf. Sun—Sir .'—ln my oouununtoatiou
to your columns of yesterday s date, the
following paragraph is found :
“Another important subject may be
presented for the consideration of the Con
vention ; that of suffrage ; and should the
notion of the Convention be other than
that of republican, senators and represen.
tatives from Georgia will not be admitted
to seats in the Federal Congress, because
the aot would beinconflict with a republi
can government.”
This may be interpreted to mean the
opposite of the writer’s views. My object
was to call your readers’ attention to what
I believe to ba tho flzod determination of
the administration tit Washington; that
If Georgia, in her conventional capacity,
so amended her constitution as to oloso
against all future legislation upon thoques-
Uon of suffrage, it would be a strong bar
rier against Georgia’s representatives en
tering tho National Congress ; because the
present administration, or the party in
power, would regard suoh a constitution
anti-republican, and thus one ohjoot of
Georgia’s Convention be defeated by Us

Gentlemen of the Convention : In re*
spouse to the resolution recently adopt

your attention to the following
which seem to require immediate action.
Ist It is of the utmost importance that
the high degree of oredit, whioh our

should be preserved untarnished. The

our old bond debt on the Ist day of Jan
uary and July last, amounting to about
$63 000, is for.
I learn that preparations were in pro
gress to mart it, but they were defeated
by the rapid events whioh attended the
closing sotmoii of the war. The condition
of the State Treasury will appear from
the statement of the State Treasurer,
which is herewith submitted for your iu

is but a small amount of available means

the object of his mtssion, viz ; to raise
tho funis necessary to meat the imrna

1 recommend that the Convention au
thorize and make provisions for the
prompt payment of the unpaid interest on
sa'.d bonds, and aiso that which will be

this is done now, another failure to meet
