Tell me, you young men of promise,
Do you all remember well
What was given, the first Christmas,
To God’s children here that dwell ?
Do you thank the Giver for it,
In the way you know is right ?
Do you spend the Holy Christmas
In the right way ? Think to-night
Will you go next Christmas morning
To a fountain of dark wine,
Where the royal king, ‘Old Satan,”
Will his arms around you twine ?
Will you give him your last dollar,
Will you give him your last cent.
Just to point you out the pathway
To the place where hearts are rent?
Tell me, oh ye whisky sellers,
Will you tempt the young and pure
On next Christmas with the sparkle

each side of it except the first and
last links, which are the foundation
and capstan of the chain. Suppose
fifty men, each owes ten dollars, and
all of these expect to pay when some
one who owes him pays ten dollars,
and so on until the fifty promises are
fulfilled. Ten dollars will pay five
hundred in this way, if no one fails,
and the chain is made complete-
How important it is in all business to
have the foundation solid. So the
first link in the farmer’s drawing chain
is usually a large ring, which is hitch-
ed to the draught. The first man
who makes a promise will be the ring
to which all the links are connected.
How important, then, is the ring or
first payment. But suppose a few
promises are filled and the middle
man or link in the chain fails or breaks.

useless until the two parts are connec-

links ? I fear at least one half. The
last link in the chain is usually the
longest link, made so to be easily at-
tached to the power that moves the
draught. How pleasant to the farmer
when all the links in the chain are
strong and each fills its place, so that
a lap link is not often needed. In
like manner, how many failures could
be saved to-day in business if every
man who makes a promise would have
it uuderstood in his mind to fill the
same, unless providentially hindered.
Some men are in a condition that a
lap link would be hard to have
on hand at the right time. So we see
how important it is for every one who
makes a promise to carry out that
promise. There is one thing we all
can do, and, if always done, might
save trouble. That is to go in time
and tell the party to whom you have
promised the ten dollars you cannot
pay to the time, but will soon after.
This would represent the weak link in
the chain which the farmer has often
cut and mended in the new. Is it
not right in the first place that we
should regard our promises more ?
And, secondly, how smooth and quiet
business would go on with both the
debtor and creditor, if the chain was
always kept solid, so as to make ten
dollar pay fivebundred by a succes-
sion of payment. If the ten dollar
bill paying thes 'fifty debts could
speak it would say: “Let me rest a
little until another chain is needed to

PROMISES.
Are promises worth anything and
should they be kept ? The beauty
and utility of a financial promise will
be the theme of this article. First,
how much better would it be, and how
much more successful could men be
in business if every one would do what
they promise. As we, are all depend-
ent upon the fanner for a sustenance
I will illustrate our promises financially
by his plow chain which we will sup-
pose has fifty links. Let each link in
the chain represent ten dollars, which
multiplied by fifty makes five hundred
