'.
To YoUEG hlEN IN BUsrssss.-In no way,
perhaps, can young man destroy his bust.
ness character more effectually than by OBJ.
tainng the reputation Of one who breaks his
promises. The mercantile world, in placing
under its ban the individual who allows his
note to be protested, is less unjust than is
popularity supposed. lnstances OF hardships,
we nre willing to concede, do occasionally
arise under the operation of this rule; but
they are less frequent than is generally be.
lirved, and not more cruel thnn in similar ex.
ccptional cases. Nine men out of ten who
fnil, owe their insolvency either to having
travelled beyond their means, to n careless
management of their means, or TO criminal
speculaliuns. That is, they undertook more
than they could perform, and this while know.
ing at the time of the promise that there
were grent doubts whether they could per
form their engagements. Perhaps, indeed
they had no deliberate intention of violating
their promise. But they were either more
ignorant than they should have been of theil
ability to perform, or they trusted too conf
dently 10 the chances of the future, or they
took heavier risks subsequently, than wn.
consistent with their liabilities. The inno-
cent therefore suffer but rarely by this species
of prescription. On the other hand, the rule
is absolutely necessary 10 the commercial
world, for without it, payments would scarce
ly ever be depended upon, and financial dis
trcss would frequently be alarmingly in
creased.

SKELETON OF FASHIONABLE SERMON
The following, from the Knickerbocker, is n
well meried burlesque on the style of dis
courses too common in these days from dan.
dyjack graduates, anxious to show off their
slight smattering of superficial learning, with.
out knowing how to properly apply it:
Text-"And he killed the Fatted Calf"
lntroduction-Not necessary to say mnch
about the Prodigal Son, for nearly every
wealthy family has n specimen of its own,
and needs no enlightenment on the subject.
Divide the subject into five heads.
lst--Speak of the calf, and inform your
hearers how calf should be fatted. Give
him all the milk OF two cows, except n tin
cup full now and then for the baby. Here
yon can make some learned remarks about
the mllky.way, the belt of Jupiter, and Lord
Ross's Telescope.
2nd-He killed the fatted calf; but not
only the Scriptures, but Josephus and the
Fathers nre profoundly silent on the aues-
tion how he killed it. As this was more than
| a thouspnd years before iiis invention of pnn-
powder firearms, the presumption is that the
old man didn't shoot the critter but pitched
into him with club--ior clubs are very an.
cient institutions.
3d-Explain why the old gentleman, in
stead of cnlf, didn't Kill shoat-make
onehorse barbecue, and have real time of
it,
4th-lnform your hearers what the word
calf means when used in Greek, Latin, Choc
tnw or Lockjaw.
5th-Dwell pathetically upon the melan-
choly degenrracy Of the present age, cvnced
by the fact that fathers, now a.days, instead
OF treating runaway son to Il "fatted calf"
are pretty apt to treat him to I" "hasty plate
of soup" made from the hide of the calf's
maternal progenitor.
,Conclusion-Throw in little geology /;
talk learnedly about "grapewade" and "trans-
ition conglomerate." Wind up the discourse
with most eloquent, affecting appeal to the
conscences OF your hearers on the Durham
breed of cattle.
