unless he has a little home of some kind, or the money to purchase one–young men should remember this fact.

to yourself and to your family should compel you to save a little money for a rainy day.

in the world, you are no better than the humblest citizen; in fact, remember that humility is one of the best evidences of greatness.

and act accordingly–it proclaims the fact that you are refined.

–you always will be reminded of the fact that you have “paid too much for the whistle.”

and then have the fact published to all the world–it is the personification of meanness.

every person who endeavors to make a display of himself, who endeavors to impress upon the minds of other persons the fact that he is a little smarter, a little above them, universally is looked upon by them as a fool.

–in fact, never loan any person money without good security.

from the ways of the humblest creatures.  How frequently we are reminded of that fact.
