The truly proud man knows

The movement ia favor of

The Charlotte Observer

We would rejeice in bis promo
tion. Wealth and poverty are ab
stract ideas, and they pass ioto
each other at that continually
shifting point where the bal
ance is struck between wants
and the means of gratifying
them. To have lew wants is as
sure a means to wealth as to
have much money. What is
wealth after one manner er up
bringing is poverty after an
other.

A Few Tljotixhtf Thrown
Proiiilaciioiutly.
The rM i.
with it many failuies are num
bered. Not only failures in
business, but failures in th
discharge of duty. The pat is
irre;rivaole to a very lar ex
tent and it is unnecessary to
grieve over what cannot b
remedied. The present oppor
tunity is all we can boast of and
the present moments are the
ones to improve.
Many or us havebecn blessed far
beyond;what we really deserved.
During this year let us tak in
to consideration the tact, "That
no man livuth to himself," and
try to be cf more benefit to our
fellows than we have ever been.
AH cannot be rich in this
world's goods some must
necessarily be servants but all
may accomplish good. During
the past year, seme have made
trades in which there was much
crookedness. Make nono but
honest bargains this year.
The me rhant's calico may
not have held out in measure
ment, or in weighing meat his
scales may have deceived him
Let bim have everything put in
first class order. When in our
boyhood days while Uvicg in
the country we were laboring
under the errornious idea that all
tnerehante would cheat their
country customers whenever
oppotiuitr offered, but a taste
of town life has caused us to
look at both sides. We may
have, and very likely dolave,
merchants that take advantage
of their customers at times, but
when we consider carefully a
scientifically loaded load of
wood we see that the country
man is fully abreast with the
times. lie lias also learned the
art of putting tho best foot fore
most in the way of loading his
products. The finest apples and
states are at the top aud "they
are all alike." Butter, of an
cient proclivities, is incased in
butter of modcrrin times and it
is "all alike" until you cut into
it. "My chicksns' are dying
with cholera. What shall I do?
This will I do: I will take them
to tewn and sell them," and
the townsmen buy them and eat
them with a relish. Such cases
as the butter are not of very
frequent occurence.
A word in regard to beys and
girls nay not be altogether out
of place just here.
When a boy, yet in his "knee
breeches," is allowed to ream
the streets at all hours of the
night, and to hold between his
finger and thumb a ciar or
cigarette what may we expect
of him if be reaches manhood?
A moral wreck nothing mors
or less.
And the little girl, who has
not yet reached her "teens,
withsaufl from ear to car en
tertaining (?) her beau, while
her old mother is doing the
drudgery about the kltchtu.
We are glad that all boys and
girls are not guilty of the above,
but we are sorry to say we
know of a few who are guilty.
A boy is like a piece of iron in
one respect, if in no other he
requires a great deal of beating,
pounding, hammering &c, be
fore he is rendered valuable.
We expect to have more to
say along, this line some timo
seon. .
