Oh, don't you remember the tavern, jim

And the "bar~keep" 80 kind and so true,
And the little nook at the corner Of the bar

Business Habits.

II is an awkward thing TO begin in the
world without "a dollar-aDd yet hundreds Of
individuals have raised large fortunes from a
single shilling. ] know gentleman in an
extensive way Of business, now well worth
100000, who was a brcklayer's labOrer,
ai 8 per day. He became rich by acting
upon principle. lie has frequently assured
me that even when no was ia III paid employ
ment, be continued TO save 50 cents per day,
and thus laid up 1882 the first ysr From this
moment his fortune was made. Like tse
hound upon the right scent, the game soon
or or later won, was sure 10 become his own.
Another very extensive frm--one Of which
las since died and left behind him an i'm
neuse property, the other is still alive, and
las realized rs much--and yet both these
men came 10 Now York. without a cent, and
swept the very shop wherein they both after
wards made their fortunes. Like tho builder
whom We have just mentioned, they possess
Cd an indomiiablo spirit of industry, pcrse
vor0nce and irugaIity, and the first halt
crown became in consequence the foundation
VI a million more.
The world ut large would call these ndi-
viduals fortunate, and ascrbe their prosper-
ty to good luck; but the world would be very
wrong to do so. If there is any luck at all
IN the matter, it was the luck Of possessing
clear heads aud active hands, by which
means multitude OF others have carved out
iher own fortunes as well as those in
stances we havo cited. But the word bus.
inGss means habit. Paradoxical rs it ma,
seem at FIRST sight, business is nothing in the
world but habit--thc soul Of which in reQu
lnrity. Like the ily-whee of "A steam en-.
gne, this last keeps the motion Of life steady
and unbroken, thereby enabling the machine
70 do its work. without this regularity, your
motions as merchant may be capital, bu
they never will be profitable.

a nf0deI of Iunoceuee

A late French paper states that M. Ed
pond r, an artlst living at Maisons-l ~
hlte lSene ct O.se) was lately in quest Of a
model for figure of innocence, which he
intends TO exhibit in tho Universal Exhibi-
ton of next year. He chanccd to meet on
the Paris road, "A young country girl, who
WIS sitting upon the trunk of tree, crying
She tod that her name was Pierette D.,
shat she was an orphan, and that her ount
had iust turned her out Of doors because she
had knocked down clock. AS she spoke,
the artist discovered in her face those features
which he required for his figure. Her dress
was coarse; but her head had that rare grace
for which The true artist searches. After n
long discussion he persuaded her to accompany
him 10 Niasons- laftte, to sit To him. After
the first sitting, he was 50 delighted with his
model that he had decent clothing made for
her, lodged her in comfortable apartment.
and took care that she should have every
necessary supplied to her. The artist, more
over, took great precautou TO protect the
model Of Innocence from proane eyes, and
for this purpose confined her to the care of n
Trustworthy duenna. Being suddenly call
ed TO Paris by important business he discov-
erred on his return, that he had been robbed.
Ills jcwelry and valuables, together with
money, had been carried off. He soon dis
covered that lIercto D. was the thief,
and that she had left Maisons in tho company
Of a man with whom che was on terms of in.
timacy On the following day she was dis
covered sitting upon one of the stone bench
es near the Arc dc Tromphc; and on being
taken into custody, made full confession OF
heI guilt. As for the picture Of Innocence,
il waits, we believe, for model.

is work Of more recent origin than those
already described--but is, nevertheless, des-
tined to occupy as prominent a place in the
Republic Of Letters
The great ecclesiastical movement in Scot
land led to its establishment There was no
journal in the United Kingdom which ap
pearcd to meet the necessities Of this anti.
church agitation Indeed, the revolution
caused by the disruption induced new state
of things, placing the actors in new positions
of observation--nor could they give utter
ance to their new perceptions Of State and
Church polity--ther new sympathies--their
new emotions--without some other organ of
thought than any then eytant Hence the
spontaneous agreement of the great master
minds among them, in the necessity Of new
outlet of public opinion, and the immediai
creation Of theNorth British Review The
basis Of this journal is the Evangelism of the
Nineteenth Century; nor is il to be overlook
cd as one of the striking characteristics of
the times, that the grand principle which
Robertson, Smith and many of the eminent
men of Scotland took the field century ago
to write down, is now advocated and
vindcated in this able work and in the same
literary metropolis.
