TnE HAIRS OF MAN OF Buslszss.--A sacred
regard to the principles of justice forms the basis OF
every transaction and regulates the conduct Of the up
night man of business. He is strict in keeping his
gagements-does nothing careessly orin hurry
employs nobody TO do what he easily do himself
keeps everything IN Its proper place-leaves nothing
undone which ought TO be done, and which crcum-
stances permit him to dok ,eps his design and busi
ness from the view of others-is prompt and decisive
with his customers and dots not overtrade for his ca
pta-prefers short credit TO long ones, and cash to
credit transactions at all times when they can be ad
vantageousy y made, either in buying or sellng-and
small profits in credit cases with little rsk to the
chance of better gains with more hazard He IS clear
and explicit in all his bargans-lcaves nothing OF con-
sequence to memory which he can and ought to com
mt to wrtng-keeps copies OF all his important iet-
ters which he sends away and has every letter, M
voice, &c belonging 10 his BUSINESS titled, casseu,
and put away. Never suffers his desk to be confused
with many papers lying upon It's always al the
head of his business, well knowing that II ne leaves
il il will leave hlm-holds it as a maxim that ne
whose credit is suspected is not safe to be rustedls
constantly examining his books ana sees throush all
his affairs as far as and attention enable him
balances regularly al stated tlnlcs and then makes
and transmits all his accounts current to his GUS
toners and constituents, both at home and abroad
avoid as much posi- le all sorts of accommodations
i'm money matters, and law suits, where there is the
least hazards economical in his expenditure always
living within his income-keeps memorandum book
with pencil in his pocket, in which he notes every
little particular relative to appointment addresses, and
petty cash matters is cautious how he becomes
curly for any person; and Is generous only when
urged by motives Ct humanity.
Munchers.-The march of modern Legislation has in
some matters kept pace with the march of intellect
The combined wisdom of both Houses of Parliament
has succeeded IN putting stop TO the slumber break
ing cry of sweep but yet has signaly failed in
sencng that terrific. to- -theympanurn- -untnabulary
clamor, the dustmans bell As one great step towards
this desirable consummaton, measures have at length
been successfully adopted against its dlmnutive mi
MIC the mufn-beil, and henceorth the lovers of the
tea delicacles OF mullins and crumpets will have
Sundays to supply themselves otherwise than through
those hsmble purveyors, who have time out of mind
monoPollzed that branch Of traffic. To those who
rejoice IN the partial extinction of these morning mise
res, il will give pleasure learn that the police have
received orders devote all their energies to the ex
urpalion of the muffin merchants calling, and their
exertiens last Sunday have been crowned with great
success The magistrates, Mr. Cenant and Mr.. Hall,
were applied to by the police Tor advice in unlock
ed for dilemma. In discharge OF their duties be-
tween fur and FIVE O'Clock on Sunday afternoon,
they heard the prohibitsd cry Of hot mufins and IN
reaching the spot laid hold Of the astonished muffin
maker, took from him his stock, about 100 large
and small The act OF Parliament which egalzed
this seizure did not clearly specify the manner in
which the proparty was to be disposed Is and II
therefore became moot point whe 7rr the mullins
were 10 be devoted to feasting the pc LIE parish
Mr.. Conant inquired if the muffa-man
for on looking al the Lord s-day act he I'll .s
also liable 10 penalty for trafficng in his coumod
ties.
The muffin man, however, was too good ud ge to
make his appearance, and the decision of the bench
was that the man was TO have his basket and the
paupers were 10 have the mullins
