THE COUNSELS OF BENJAMIN.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MERCH ANTS.
1t is generally thought, that the pest
way to indnce the payment OF money
that is due, is to declare ones urgent
neeessity-to make what is called q
poor mouth. But this is a gross mis-
conception, Your necessity will pro-
duce an effect the very opposite to wha'
you intended. Riches are almost lnva-
riably respected, and poverty despise :;
The man who abounds in money VIII
be paid first, because his good opih'eh
is valued: the man who wants money
NAV caal often, because his patronage
or friendship is likely to be OF 10 use
Credit must be preserved with the rich
merchant, because he has many goods
for sale, and is likely to stand long: but
credit is ofittle value with the distres
ssd merchant, because his stock for sale
is small.
The rich man sells to none he sus'
poets to be unsafe; because he is moi
pushed for funds; but the distressed
man will run great risks to procure
diseountable bills.
A wealthy merchant IN high credit
will make fewer bad debts than MAJ
of slender capital, in low credit. The
tottering purchaser regards the great
capitalist witha degree of awe. which
renders him backward to his office, for
the purpose oil buying on credit But
the tottering man does not feel the
same awe. in presence of man OF small
capital. With the latter, he feels at
homs-bis consciousness of frailty nc
longer checks him The marches into
his Office with bold gait, shakes him
by the hand. tells him that he gives him
a preference, and asks him friendly
questions about his family; so that e.
ven did the seller suspect his stability
unless be be a man of fliDty heart, he
cannot say to his acquaintance"
will not trust you"
