"SHORT SIGHTED, RUINOUS POLICY"

am to say something showing that Mechan-
les are in some measure to blame that many
pursue the short-sighted ruinous policy" of
sending abroad for such goods as are made
amongst US. When mechanic engages to fin
ish piece of work in fine style, do it well, as
well as some other which is pointed out or shown
and fails to do it as we'll, that is Sights it, he is
to blame, for this will of course make custo-
mer desire to 20 abroad. Promising work by a
certain time and not having it ready at the time
has the same tendency. Using poorer mate
rials than city workmen has the same effect
Selling poorer articles for the price Of good city
made articles will do the same, although the
customers moy not at first see the difference.
When we neglect to make and finish off our
articles in the prevailing style, complying with
the tastes of our Customers and neghbors, even
in small matters, thinking and saying, 1T will
do we'll enough, last just as long," etc. ETC.. we
may depend their patience will be tried Very
many other ways might be spoken of which are

and others connected with it, is desirable. Some
reasons why will readily suggest themselves to
all who give attention to it.
Although mechanics may be in fault still that
does not excuse us. Our citizens are interest

about such articles than a person mol in it, buy
for us and he can make something and still sci

and as far as my experience extends, in nine
cases out of ten, lower, when quality is consid

more particularly to such articles or goods how
ever, which require an intimate acquaintance
with the material and quality which, in SOM
articles and trades is hid from ordinary obser

DEAN SWIFT AND THE TAILOR.

A Tailor in Dublin, near the residence OF
the Dean, took it into the ninth part" OF his
lad that he was specially and divlnely inspired
Interpret the prophecies, and especially the
Dix Of Revelations. Quitting the shop-board,
he turned out a preacher, or rather prophet,
until his customers had left his shop, and his
family were likely to famish. His mononania
was well known to Dean Swift, who benevo-
lently watched for some opportunity to turn the
current Of his thoughts. One night, the tailor,
as he fAnced, got especial revelation 10 60 and
convert Dean Swift, and next morning took up
the line Of march to the deanery. The Dean,
whose study was furnished with glass door,
saw the tailor approach, and instantly surmised
the nature of his errand. Throwing HIMSELF
into an attitude of solemnity and thoughtful
ness, with the Bible opened before him, and his
eyes fixed on the 10th chapter Of Revelation,
he awaited his approach. The door opened,
and the tailor announced in an unearthly
voice
"Dean Swift, am sent by the Almighty to
"Colne in, my friend" said the Dean, II am
in great trouble, and no doubt the Lord has
sent you to help me out Of my difficulty"
This unexpected welcome inspired the tai
lor, and strengthened greatly his assurance in
his own prophetic character, and disposed him
to listen to the disclosure.
"My FRIEND" said the Dean, III have just
been reading the 10th chapter Of Revelation,
and am greatly distressed at difficulty have
met with and you are the very man to help me
out. Here is an account of an angel that came
down from heaven. who was SO large that he
placed one foot on the sea and the other on the
earth, and lifted up his hands to heaven. Now,
my knowledge of the mathematics" continued
the Dean, "has enabled me to calculate exactly
the size and form Of this angel; but am in a
great difficulty, for l wish to know how much
cloth it will take to make him pair of breech-
es and as that is exactly in your line Of bust
ness, have no doubt the Lord has sent you to
show me-"
| This expostulation came like an electric
shock to the poor tailor He rushed from the
house, ran to his shop and sudden revulsior
of thought and feeling came over him. Making
breeches was exactly in his line of business
lie returned to his occupation, thoroughly
cured of his prophetcal revelation by the wi
of the Dean.
