Magnetism in Trade.

There are few Of our readers engaged in trade
that will not feel the force Of the following rs-
marks:
There is kind Of magnetism In trade tn at
goes q great ways towards explaining the
gre ater successof enc nan over another who
seems TO have equal opportunities. Whilo
conversing with a very enthusiasts friend the
other day, he remarked:
"HOw queer Ii is that sometimes when q
customer enters the store feel a. though it
would be impossible to sell him fps worth !:
but at another time / feel asthsugh
could make customer buy just what 1
feel inclined to sell. There's 2oalInagnst-
ism about IL -
yes" We replied, "and your battery is
net alt ays III order "
What ~ he Snswered, "do you mean tn
difference Is all n nie?''
Most certainly, for you confess that it il
al matter Of feeling, we replied, and the
great means Of always keeping up this mag
netic power is to be absorbed in what we are
doing, by avoiding temptations to dsy dream
ing and hasy speculstions."
We think that here's an important matter
for every salesman Whatever ID TO be done
well must be done earnhstly-the man must
be fully magnetiled fer the labor before him
fully charged with esrnestness. We have
seen good and extensive customers provoke i
and impelled 10 leave a business establishment
by the lackadaisical manner in which they
were treated They found it difficult TO sci
at all, or had no confidence in the customers
intention to buy. They like something akin
to real-hesrtednea; they want to 6nd man
in the fu.i bloom of true enterprise; and they
almost instinctivsly catch the Indifference Of
the salesman, and draw themselves away
without becoming purchasers.
There is more in this matter of magnetism
in trade than many will be willing to ALLOW !;
but if they will try little while the whole
soulsd way of attending on their business,
treating every customer as though each one
might be a large purchaser, they will find new
success, and will enjoy attenti on to business
with more relish than they have ever known

ARTIFICIAL EYKs.-Some time ago, Madame
Pluyette, widow lady Of fifty, but who still
attaches much importance to personal appear
ance, had the misfortune, in playing with q
lap dog, to receive from il % severe q wound
in one Of her eyes that il came out of the
socket. Having heard much Of artificial eyes,
and being recommended to apply to an expert
manufacturer in this way, named ramisler,
she gave an order for glass eye, for which
II. Tsmisler charged her one hundred francs.
Refusing to pay this charge, the manufacturer
summoned her before Judge de Paix Nine.
Pluyette having appeared, holding the glass
eye in her hand, the Judge de PsiI asked her
Why she refused to pay the bill which d.
famissisr had sent in? "Por a very good
reason" replied the defendant; - I can see no
more with it than could before. 4" What"
said the Judge de Paix, "did you really
imagine that you would be able 70 see With
glass!' "Did think so." retorted the angry
dame, certainly did Will Yea be 80 good
us to tell me what eyes are made Tor Dat 10
see with! ordered the eye for use, and un-
til M. Tamisler makes me one with which can
which il ouite as useful a. natural hair / have
three false teeth which answer as well as these
/ have lost; and why should pay Tor an eye
which !, of no use," The Judge de Psix en-
deavo,ed TO convice Madame Pluystte that
gla,s ewes were for ethers to look at and not
fcr the vearers to look from them; but finding
All appeals to her reason Of No avail, he con.
demned her to pay the plaintiff the amount OF
his demand. When tho defendant heard the
decision, she became furious with anger, ana
dasbing her glass eye on the floor, she rusneo
out of the Court amid the laughter Oh sne
crowd.
