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, G. S. Powers. Senior partner In the Arm of C. S Powers & Hons. Fountain, December Util, lH7t. U —• ♦ - —— 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. - . ,#r . *— - - - qiirrj-.
