"PAY AS YOU Col received a few days since a letter from friend in Ohio, from which the subjoined is an extract.- The good sense, the practical wisdom, and the fine turn of expression made a deep impression upon me, and it may be useful to young men just starting in life to read the practical philosophy of one 25 years old, who is rapidly building name and char. acter for time by the exact observance of one sgle principle:

 i've have been expecting you out here all the spring. You and-must come and see how very happy we are. We have no trouble in or about the house-in the house, because we mutually agree upon the Aute us well as the great things-out of the house, because we live practically upon the true and only principle which secures peace, honesty and independence, pay as you go There is nothing like this in the whole roll of inventions to secure ease in living. It takes but one half the money, one half the time, one half the patience, one .half the foresight-not one cent of interest pays 100 per cent in hand and needs no under ,rriting.

 "This is the principle for young man to follow. It needs little moral courage to go it strlclly-but Pay as you SO has made all our honest men-tas made nearly all great tortnes-has made small capitalists million. aires and if it has not made Christians, it has obviated heaps of sins. Now I have based my outdoor operations on this princi. pie, and I find its influence pervading the household minutes |: happiness smiles in eve. ry corner, antwhen the week is fully spent and fully paid for, toe own the Sabbath.

 "Pay as you go" is much neglected as practical principle the enterprise of lite seem to overbear it-and ambition, too i'm. pulsive and too proud, scorns the simple rule of rectitude, bat whoever courts and sub. mits to it's formal exaclons need not envy the great mans freside or tho rich mans pocket. It is and shall be the basis of my plans, and although l do not expect to con- vince the world, feel in ihis principle a substantial investment of happiness that pays as it goes,' and returns a, the end the capital undiminished." sa sseeseA
