strict principles Of integrity and honor
! But it is certain that they can be conducted
on no other. If it be true, or if the state
ment Of all the approximates to the truth,
that in Boston for the last twenty five years
ninety nine out of each hundred of all our
merchants have been unsuccessful, how
much worse would it have been if all had
conducted their business on high moral
principles? The men who succeeded in
life and became eminent are few. Their
characters are well known-almost all of
them have been men of high moral prin
ciple.
II was Daniels moral character that rais.

Babylon; and he maintained his noble po-
sition because he conducted his affairs Of
the realm with such integrity and honesty
that his keen eyed enemies could find no
fault with him at all in the kings matters.
And Cornelius, who had such proof Of Gods
favor, was most loyal captain in the Ro-
man army. Permanent success is found

tegrity in business.
The man who purchases cutlery from
the renowned manufactcry of Rogers, is au-
xious only to know that the stamp of The
plate is genuine. Years ago that house
resolved not TO send a poor article into the
market Its work is good it cannot afford
to sell poor articles. The fame Of Day &
Martins blacking is wide as civilization. -
No man tries it; he asks only if it be The
genuine article; and man that can secure

fortune secured 1t is said that the stores
in that building will command almost any
rent.
If the United States need an instrument
for the corps of Engineers, or a glass for
the Observatory at Washington, an order
is sent to England for one instrument, and
to France for another, and to Germany for
a third--the reputation of the house that
manufactures is a guaranty for the excel
ence of the article.
In the small town Of Douglas, in the Com
monweath Cf Massachusetts, there is a
mandatory of axes. Immense numbers
are shipped for all parts of the earth. No
man but the maker sees them ill taken from
the boxes, put on ,he Shelves and swung
in the forests at the west, in our Pacific
possessions or in Africa, or in the Islands
Of the sea; and if each axe was tried in the
, mandatory of Douglas before the pur-
chase, no more confidence would be put in
the excellence of the article than the name
of the maker inspires. The nvariable per
fection of the article is the business capital
of the maker.
