A Successful Merchant.

81 mean to be a rich man, cost what il
villa man is nothing in this world with
out wealth. With plenty Of money he is
everything. ! mean 10 get rich, any how"
Such was the soliloquy Of young mer-
chant who with small capital, had recent
y established himself in business. He made
stern resolve TO be rich, and having great
perseverance, he went busily to work in the
execution Of his purpose.
Every thing was made subordinate 20 the
accomplishment of his golden vision. Ease
and pleasure were out Of the question. Do
nestle happiness was Of no account. The
merchants brow arched with incessant care,
his heart chilled and warmed with the rise
and fall Of the markets the changes Of
commerce shaped his dreams money was
his reigning idea lie had time for nothing
but business In vain did his wife anguish
beneath her domestic cares at home. He
had no time TO unbend himself at home
and contribute to the bliss OF his little world
there. Neither could he bestow attention
on the wants Of the world or the Iniseres
OF his fellow creatures around him. True,
the poor were often cold and hungry-true,
the drunkard reced along the street.-The
young iei "tO tue undressing 9h"es W ''So
--immoraliiy abounded, and virtue, strug-
Cling TO maintain foot-hold on the earth,
called upon him for aid. The call was in
vain, for our merchant had neither ears nor
eyes for aughi save the court OF MAMMoN.
Afier many years of toll and care, after
enduring anxiety and labor sufficient to wear
out his over-taxed energies, he had reached
the goal. The merchant had grown rich,
so rich he could forsake the counting room,
and live with princely splendor in palace
like home
This was the vision Of his youth fulfilled
He had sought gold, aud his massive Golfers
groaned with the weight OF their glittering
load and when men passed him, they said,
THAT is old -, the millionaire"
Was the prize worth what il cost Thir-
Nv years Of sacrifice had been devoted to its
pursuit. During that period. true enjoy
mem had been stranger to his heart how
could il be otherwise For thirty years he
had not had time 10 be happyi He had
surrendered all for the advantages Of wealth.
He had his prize. Was il worth what il

not trust child upon the back Of wild

permit him TO go forth into the world unskill-
ed in selfgovernment. If child is pas

means, TO curb his temper. II he il greedy,

humor If he is indolent, accustom him TO

even onerous duties with alacrily. IL pride
comes in to make his obedience reluctant,
subdue him, either by counsel or discipline.
In short. give your children the habit of
overcoming their beseiting sins. Let .hem
acquire from experience thai confidence in

The Eco TRApE.-Mr J. c. Williams,
in the HailopeH Caltivafor, gives the FOL
lowing statistics OF the egg trade in Maine /:
"Thc hen has always been considered
Of some importance for the eggs she has
produced for home consumption, yet il was
scarcely thought that she could produce
any surplus worthy Of notice in this coun'
try. But some ten or twelve years ago a
man was seen travelling through the villages
and collecting what eggs he found and send
ins them TO Boston; and in whole sum.
mer he would get perhaps 3 or 1000 dozen,
and the business gradually increased until
the present time II is now believed that
more than 1900. 900 dozen of eggs have
been sent from Maine TO Boston this sum
mer, and have been sold for something like
$500, 900. This sounds like large story,
but those who are engaged in the trade will
fully sustain it. / have been engaged in
the business, and have bought and slipped,
since last March, 81 ,479 dozen Of eggs
and have paid out 81 ,242 90 cash for them
There are also,more than fotry men who are
busily engaged in the same trade. Truly
this is an income Of some Importance
though hardly thought Of, TO say nothing Of
the large amount Of poultry annually sold
When the farmer looks these facts in The
face, he will give the hen her proper stand
ing among his valuables."
