Magnetism In Trade.

There are few of our readers enaaged III trade
that will not leel the force pf the following re-
marks
There /; kind of magnetism in trade thai
goes great ways towards explaining the great
er success vi one man over another VINO seems
20 have equal opportunities. Wnlle converSng
with very enthusiastic friend the other DAY he
remarked:
.iuw queer it is that sometimes when GUS
toner enters The store ieel AS though II would
be impossible to sell him fps worth; but al
anorher Ilne ieel as though 1 could make a
customer BUY just what feel lncllned TO SELL
There's real magnetism about It,"
YES" we replied, land your battery is not
always in order"
"What!" !" he answered, "do you mean the diff
terence is all In lie %
Most certainly, for you confess that it is all
matter Of feeling" we replied, land the great
means Of always keeping up this magnetic power
is to be absorbed in what we are doing, by avoid
ing temptations to day dreaming and nazy specu-
latons."
We think that here's an important matter for
every salesman! Whatever IS to he done well
must be done eatnestly-lhe man must be fully
lnagnetized Tor the laOor before hlm-fully charg-
ed with earnestuess. We have seen good and
extensive customers provoked and impelled to
leave a business establishment by the lackadaisi-
cal manner In which they we're treated. They
found 1t difficult lo sell AT all, or had 10 conf
dence in the customers intention to buy. They
like souIelhing akin to real -heartedness; they
want To find man in the full bloom of true en-
Lerprise and lhey almost lnstnctively catch the
indifference of the salesman, and draw themselves
away without becoming purchasers.
There is more il. this matter vi magnetism in
rade than many will be willing to allow; but ii
hey will try lltlle while the whole-soul I'd way
If attending lhe.r business, treating every Gus
ouier as though ,ch one might be large pur-
naser, they will find new success, and viii en-
oy attention to business with more relish than
hey have ever known.

POINTED SERMoNs.-alore than one hundred
years ago,there graduated at Harvard University
man by The name of Rawson. who subsequently,
settled in the ministry at Yarmouth on Cape Cod,
He used to preach very pointed sermons. Hav-
ing heard that some of his parshioners were in
the habit of making him the subject Of their mirth
at the grog shop, he one Sabbath preached DIS
course from the text, And was the sony of the
drunkard.' HIS remarks were OF very moving
character, so much that many Of his hearers rose
and left n the midst of the sermon. A short time
afterwards, the preacher delivered discourse
still more pointed from the text, 'And they being
convicted out of their own consciences, went out
one by one.' On this occasion no one ventured
to retire from the assembly, but the guilty ones
resigned themselves. with as good grace as posi-
sibe, to the lash Of their pastor.

Guano--.Its History.

Guano. as most people understand, is supported
from the Islands of The Pacific, mostly OF Inc
Chincha group, off the coast of Peru, and under the
dominion of that government. lis sale is mace d
monopoly, and the avails. to great extent 90 ~
pay the British holders of Peruvian government
bonds, giving them, to all intents and purposes;
lien upon the profits of a treasure lnlr'nslcaiiy
more valuable than the gold mines OF California
There are depusls of this unsurpassed fertilizer
10 some places to The depth OF sixty OF seventy
feet, and over large extents of surface.

which every river and brooklei is rolling in'o 'ne
sea. The wash of alluvial soils, the lioaiins 10

wasted materials of great cities, are constantly oe

The bird isa beautifully arranged chemical lab
oratory, fitted up to perform single opera'ion'
viz: to take the fish as fod, burn out the caroon
by means of its respiratory functions, and deposit
the remainder in the shape Of an ncomparable Ter
lizer But how many ages have these deposito-
ries of seventy feet in thickness been accumuia-
ting
There are at the present day countless numbers
of the birds resting upon the islands at nght Out,
according to Baran Humboldt, the excfeInents OF
the birds for The space of three centuries, wouio
not form stratum over one third of an inch IN
thickness By an easy mathematical calculation,
it will De seen that at this rate OF deposition, IL
would take seven thousand five hundred and sixty
centuries. or seven hundred and fifty SIX Thousand
years, to form the deepest guano!
Such calculation carries us back well on TO
former geological period, and proves one and per-
hay,. both, of two things-frst, that in past ages
an infinitely greater number Of these birds hover
ed over the islands aud secondly, that the mate
rial world existed at period long anterior to us

existence is infinitely small, compared with snch
