A Sketch from Life.

Call upon gentleman at his
house, your happiness is the end OF his en-
denvor, aud his conscience is ruled 10y TINT.
Call upon him at his store, aud his interest is
tile end of lIis endinvor--his conscience Is
! ruled by that, aud he will make the most lie
c0n out of you. Go To him as n friend, aud
he is all coInplaisance and genuine Kindness.
Go TO him as u broker, aud he will shave
| your paper Ht two per cent. month, aud u
you are in (Gnancially) a tight place, he will

We uro all to blame for this-all who want
something for nothing. We compel the car
penier 10 build house worth S20 600, for
$4,000, or lose the job; and he does it-in
ways which we find out at our leisure. Men
must cheat or starve, and il is easier to do the
foruer than the latter.

the exemplary merchant hears from the pull

but every man also on the things Of others,
and he says amen TO that. On Monday lie

man for himself" aud Inc says amen to that
He has one conscience for Sunday aud
another conscience for Monday. II, said the
