Pay Cash.

Oh ! how hard it is to pay bills. Everybody knows this. It is such a pleasant thing, too, to have money in your pocket and there is no way by which this desired end can be secured, except by spending less than you receive. Nothing assists in this calculation so much as paying for what you get when you get it. When you run up a bill at the butcher's, the baker's, the milliner's, and the dressmaker's, you never know exactly what you can afford. It is hard to keep track of all your accumulated indebtedness, and you are tempted to spend the money lying idle in your hands for things which you can just as well do without, and in this way incommode yourself when the day for settlement of bills arrives.

Every tradesman knows that people buy more freely on credit than for cash. When the pocket-book is drawn upon every time that a want is to be satisfied, there is a truer appreciation of the value of what you give, as well as what you get; but when things are not paid for at the time, there is less appreciation of the cost than of the purchase. In house-keeping, especially, the cash system is the best and pleasantest. It prevents a great deal of cheating, waste, and saves the mistress of the house no end of trouble. Cash customers buy cheapest, and are the most desirable. Pay cash.
