(From the New York Mercury.) At the request of the editor of the Railway IIcraId, I will preach on this occasion from the followuig text 1—— ' Ifye are honest, honourable tnon, ' Go ye and pay—the Printer. . . _ .7 My hearers,—Tliere are many seeming trifies in this world which you are apt to overlook, on account oftheir unimportance, the neglect ofwhich has plunged thousands into the deepest mire ofmisery, and sunk their character into inextricable degradation. Among those ostenSible trifles, that of neglecting to pay our honest debts is the most common, and attended with the worst of conse- quences. It takes ofi‘ all the silken fur from the fine threads of feeling, creates a kind of riiisanthropic cold- ness about the heart, skims ofi' all the cream that may man look as savagely on his brother man as does a dog ‘npon one of his species while engaged in the gratifying employment of eating his master’s dinner. One debt he- gets another. I have always observed, that he who owes ' L;— i... .mi Inn 1.. 1.1. than on fieforrner. Oh, my friends, to be over head and ears in love is as bad a predicament as a person ought to be in; but to be so deeply in debt that you can’t sleep at nights without being haunted by the ghost of some in- satiate creditor, is enough to give a man the hydrophobia, make him bite a wheelbarrow, cause it to run mad, and createa general consternation among the lamp posts. My dear friends, the debt that sits heaviest on the con- science of a mortal—provided he has one—is the debt due to the printer! It pressos harder on one’s bosom than the nightmare, galls the soul, frets and chafes every ennobling sentiment, squeezes all the juice of fraternal sympathy from the heart, and leaves it drier than the sure face ofa roasted potato. A man who wrongs a printer out of a single cent can never expect to enjoy comfort in ness in any other. He will be sure to go down to the grave ere time shall bcdcck his brow with the silverv blossoms of age, and the green leaves of hope will fall be- fore the fresh bud ofenjoymeiit has expanded. It istrue that the mushrooms of peace may spring up during a Short night of forgetfulness, but they will all wither un- der the scorching rays of remorse. How can you, my friends, ever have the wickedness and cruelty to cheat the printer, when you consider how much he has done, and is every day doing, for you? He has poured into the treasuries of your minds spine ofthe most valuable gifts that any thing short of a God can bestow—aye riches which you would not part with for the possession of the whole world and a mortgage on- a small room of heaven. With the keys of magic, as it were, he has opened the - iron-cased doors of human understandiiig—dispelled the darkness of ignorance, and lit up the lamps ofknowledue and wisdom. That mighty engine, the Press, is surrounlii- ed by a halo of glory, and its effulgence extends allover the broad empire of the mind, illuminating the darkest avenues of the heart; and yet the printer, the man who toils at the lever of this soul-enlightening instrument, is often robbed of his hard-earned bread by those whom he has delivered from mental bondage and placed in a paradise to lay of? and grow fat upon the fruits of his la- bours! - Oh, you ungrateful sinners! if you have hearts moist- ened with the dews of mercy, instead of gizzards filled with gravel, take heed what I say unto you. If there be one among you in the congregation whose accounts 3;: not settled with the printer, go and adjust them iin- ediately, and be able to hold up your heads in society -1. e a giraffe; be respected by the wise and the good, free from the tortures ofa‘guilty conscience, the mortifi- cation of repeated duns, and escape from falling into the clutches of those licensed thieves, the lawyers.

You will noti'vait for themorrow, be. cause there is no to-morrow Lit is but a VlSlOflFll‘y recep- tacle for unredeemed promises; an addled egg in the great nest of thefuture; the debtor’s hope and the cre- ditor’s curse. If you are dishonest, low-minded sons of long as you have no reputation to lose, no character to sustain, and no morals to cultivate. But let me tell you, my friends, that if you don’t do it your paths to the tomb will be strewn with thorns, you will have to gather your daily food from brambles, your children will die of the dysentery, and you yourselves Will never enjoy the bles- Ionce called on a sick person whom xxiv- 25. 26- l , y _ if he had made liisvpeace with his Maker. i~ thought he had squared all up.
