MEASNEsS DOES NOT PAY.-An article in
recent number of Hunts Merchants Maya.
e,ne-which by the way, is one of the most
ably conducted and interesting periodic ais
published in this country-says, there is no
greater mistake that business man makes
than to be mean in his business Always
taking the half cent for the dollar he has
made and is making. Such policy is very
much like the farmers, who sows three pecks
of seed when he ought to have sown FIVE, and
as a recompense for the leanness of his soul,
only gets ten when he ought to have got fifteen
bushels of grain. Everybody has heard of
the proverb penny wise and pound foolish. -
liberal expenditure in the way of business
is always sure to be capital investment.
There are people in the world who are short.
sighted enough to believe that their interest
can be best promoted by grasping and clinging
TO all they can get, and never letting cent
slip through their fingers. As general thing,
1t will be found, other things being equal that
he who is most liberal is most successful in
business. Of course, we do not mean il TO be
inferred that man should be prodigal in
his expenditure; but that he should show to
his customers, if he is a trader, or those whom
he may be doing any kind of business with,
that In all transactions, as well as social rela
tons, he acknowledges the everlasting fact
that there can be no permanent prosperity OF
good feeling in community where benefit.

HE EBBrrT HOUSE was, last night, the scene
of a hop" which was pronounced one of the
most agreeable Of this gay season. The large
and newly furnished saloons were filled with
select and fashionable assemblage, embrac-
ing representatives from almost every section
OF our Republic, animated with enjoyment
while excellent music inspired the devotees Of
Terpsichore. Every arrangement had beet
made for rendering the evening pleasant, and
there was general expression of satisfaction

participated in the gay scene. We learn thai
