Rev. Sam Jones, of Georgia, is
reported us having uttered the fol
lowing recently in a lecture at

1. As to the origin.
Darwin would say they were en
voi ved from tlie nature of things in
tlie garden, when Adam saw he
must he clothed, and no money, no
means, no credit. John Stunrt
Mill would say tlmt, abstractly
considered, they were brought into
the world by tlio concurrent action

these things can't carry them out
of tlie world. Experience teaches
us that they lmve their origin in
false economy, laziness, prodi
ill economy, honesty and truthful
ness never tastes of hard times.
Hard times has a lesson for all, and
tlmt lesson is, “Every dog has his
day.” A man who has met all
demands up to tbe hour he goes to .
bed, and then worries nud rolls
sleepless upon his bedj because of
the demands of to-morrow, is ns
unjust to himself as he is unwise.
