NOTICE.
Mj Dear Sir: I want to usk you a
plain question, In all kindness ami
sincerity, ami 1 would like to have j
you answer it honestly and candidly ;
hot in two or three years or months,
but sow! tuiswkkk! Supposing you !
wore poor as Jol>'s turkey, and had !
in vested two or thn-e thousand dollars
in an enterprise which you designed
to make an excltHively cash imsi- 1
nesss; sUpposinK. as a matter of ne
coinmodatiou and good nature, you
had trusted It out all over the coun
try from li II to Jericho ; supposing j
you hud kept adding your means, and |
still “putting il on the books for a
few days," until your funds were I
played out, like old Foot’s prayer-,
meeting; supposing you had claims |
coming against you in the hands of
businessmen who had nee. unmodated j
you in good faith, and needed their
money; supposing you hud some j
pride in you, and meant to be square
toed and punctual, and bated to seea
titan whom you owed, when you
didn’t have the legal tender in your
trowsors to pav his just and legal de
mands, worse than you would to see ■
an Injun or the devil; and supposing
those whom you had accommodated
felt perfoctlv easy and contented, ,
“shied the track" when you went to
see them, and told the wife of their I
bosom to answer “Not at home,” or j
came into town ;uid left without pay-,
!ng even a part; supposing that they !
held your money aud patient ly waited
for wheat to eome up to 90 cents or i
sl, or pork to bring $5, or a hun
dred, what would youdo V Would you
let your debts go, “and smile, and 1
smile, and be a villain ?” or would j
vou sue every mother’s son of them
that didn’t pay you, if it was the last ,
business you transacted in town ?
If you were an honest man, you’d |
do the latter, and that 's just wliatj
I’m compelled to do, and shall do. if
the Lord is Ood, or there is a King
In Isreal!
I don’t want money to look at, (1
can earn enough for that;) I don’t;
want any to salt down. (I never j
could make it keep;) but out of sev-1
eral thousands trusted out. I humbly
want a few hundreds, and I'll bod and
if I won’t have it, or an execution re
turned nuila liiinn.
I have, in addition to erecting an
exi>ensive store in Fountain, bon se
duced into investing over ,fMHi in a
new hall, which is an ornament as
well as convenience to the town at
large. As you know, 1 was promis
ed S4OO rash, to assist me. Well,
out of this little sioo, [ have received
just $2(5. I don’t expect any more,
and I don’t want it! The hall is
done. It is mine, and to let, when
the school-house cannot be had.
But I want what is owed to me. It
is a small amount to you; it means |
thousands of dollars to me. 1 shall |
be home in a few days to square up. I
Let “Doc." have the money now, be
foreign. There is not one of you,
manor woman, from Christiana to
Dublin, that he would not stick his j
head in the tire to serve, whether he |
ever expected anything for it or not.
Get his receipt before I go home, and
his soul will rejoice. I lor e you my
self as a mother loveth her first born,
but I' love to pay my debts bcttci
than I love any man, woman, or
child, on the face of God Almighty’s
green earth ; and, by the Great Eter
nal and Continental Congress, i pro
pose to do it, if 1 have to make costs I
for every man in Fillmore county.
Now let's have the - punduliks. and
see how sweet and pretty I can smile
upon you.
lours earnestly,

Fun at Home. Don’t be afraid of n
little fan at home, good people! Don’t
shut up your house, lest the sun
should fade your carpets, and your
hearts, jest a hearty laugh should
shake down some of the musty old
cobwebs there! if you want to ruin J
your sons, lot them think that all
mirth and social enjoyment must be
left on the threshold when they eome
home at nights. When one's home
is regarded as a place to eat, drink
and weep in, the work is begun that
ends in gamtiling houses and reck
less degradation. Young people must
have fun somewhere. If they do not
lini! it at their own hearthstones, il
will be sought in other, and, perhaps,
less profitable places. Therefore, let i
the fire burn brightly at night, and
the home-nest made delightful witli
all the little tilings that parents so
perfectly understand. Don’t repress
the buoyant spirits of your children ,
half an hour of merriment round the
lamp and firelight of home, blots out
tin, remembrance of many a cure and
annoyance during the day, and the
I lest safeguards they nan take with
them into the world is the unseen in
ti uenoe of a bright little domestic
sanctum.
