81 WISH YOU SUCCESS"

very kind wish, if sincere, but when
the wish is one that can give substantial
aid, yet substitutes wishes, he is one mis-
taken in what he says. He does not
wish success; otherwise he would take, as
IN other things, the only mode to secure
1t, namely, his means and personal influ-
ence. Were every one to answer similar
ly, the collector would have on his book
some five hundred wishes, which accom-
pllsh no other result than defeating the OBJ
ject; for should you not already know it,
1t is time that you be apPrised of Sc
cret, VIZ: if you wish TO kill any benevo-
lent enterprise for Christ and His Church,
do not oppose it directly, for that might
excite the energies of its friends, might
lead TO the supposition that you were
close with your money, but "wish it sue
cess" and do nothing; say to the object
be warmed and filled, and give it not
those things which are needful for il; de-
cline any agency; keep from its meetings
and you will as far as you can, kill it eff
ectually. You will not be blamed, for
did you not swish it success, and always
speak favorabIy of it," A similar result
may be attained by "feeling for its wants.
3" thinking on it," " intending to do some
thing - but be sure you do nothing, or
if the collector should call frequently, give
him something, and for the remainder let
him take your feelings. He will not trou-
bic you soon again. If all others do as
you do, he must abandon the work in de-
spair.
You feel! But how do you feel! five
dollars worth! two! one! DIR. Johnson
once told Boswell to ''beware of these feel.

pay their debts in feeling" If however

Hard Case IN LaaC.-Mr G. veteran
lawyer of Syracuse, used to tell a story of
client, an impetuous old farmer by the
name of Merrick, who, in olden times had
difficulty with a cabinet maker As was
usual in such cases, the matter excited a
great deal of interest among the neighbors,
who severalIy allied themselves with one
or the other of the contending parties. At
length, however, TO the mutual disappoint-
ment of the allies, the principals effected
compromise, by which Merrick was to
take, in full of all demands, the cabinet
makers note for forty dollars, at six months,
payable in cabinet ware"
Lawyer G. was called upon to draft the
| necessary papers 10 consummate the settle
ment, which having been duly executed
and delivered, the matter was supposed TO
be fully and amicably arranged,
q. saw no more of the parties until
about six months after, when one morning,
just as he was opening his office, old Mr..
Merrick came riding furiously up, dis
mounted, and rushed in, deiiantly excIaim-
ing: 81 say Squire, am bound to take
| coffins!"
1t seems on the note falling due, the
obstinate cabinet maker had refused to pay
him in any other way!
