CHARACTER FOR INrEoRIry.-Wc
have somewhere seen n notice of q
Rotterdam thread merchant who had
accumulated fifty thousand dollars by
his own industry, punctuality and
ii tegrity, and it was rcmarked>o of him
that he never let yard of bad thread
go out of his hands, and would new
CT take more than q reasonable pref
fit. BY these means he acquired
such entire public confidence, that his
customers would as willingly send
blind man or a child to buy for them
as 90 themselves
We refer to the case not to intimate
that we have no such instances among
ourselves, but for the purpose of sug-
gcstlng the great value to any business
man of such character, and the
exceeding agreeablcncss to dealers with
him of the confidence he inspires. And
we affirm nothing cxtravagant in say
ing that the character for strict in
tegrity acquired is of as much real
worth to its posessor as the pccu-
mary savings Of his industry. Let
such man lose, by any misfortune.
all his money, he is still man of
capital, ofinllucnce, and is the superior.
on mere business calculations, of ma
ny Q man Of large mopeycd means.
But the beauty of the thing is this,s
that any man however small his
business and limited his capitm, s,has
just ne good }orportunity Of winning
confidence rs the millionaire. In.
tegrity in small things is even more
impressive than integrity in great
things. And after all that men may
say in praise of enterprise, skill,
shrewdncss aud tact of particular busi
ness men, there is one character to-
wards which all minds instinctivclv
render their rcvcrencc-and that is.
the man who would rather be honest
than wealthy, and who prefers intcgri-
ty to gain.

the London Times, that Sin fifty years

We notice, however,
that there arc some indications of
change going on, for the Catholic press
is speaking ofit.
The Dublin Nation says:
"Ihcrc can be no longer any ques.
ton that the systcmatizcd proscly-
tism has met with immense success OF
in Connaught and Kerry. 1t is true
that the altars of the Catholic Church
have been deserted by thousands born
and baptized in the ancient faith of Ire
land. The West of Ireland is desert
ing the ancient fold"
