Parable for Business Mcn.

There was once upon time a MAJ
who kept store and sold goods whole
sale and retail.
And he become melancholy, because
customers were shy and times wcrt
hard.
And he said, Lo 1 am ruined, and
the sensation is disagreeable.
And my ruin is the more painful tc
bear, because it is slow in progress, even
as water does gradually become hotter
in the pot wherein the lobster boileth
until the crustaceous creature shrieked
out his soul in anguish. -....
l will give my money away to the
poor man, even to the poorest, which is
he who printeth newspapers, and [ will
shut up my shop and wrap myself in
sackcloth of desolation, and pass my days
in the purlieus Of broken banks, cursing
the hardness of the times and rending
my garments.
And the bowling of Rome shall be as
the dulcet sounds of dulcimedes and
they who blow the flutes and instru-
ments of music, compared to the din L
will make in the ears of wicked-cvcn
in the ears OF the bank directors.
And even as he said, so did he; for he
was not like other menls sons who are
foolish and know it not, and they say
they will do so, performing that which
is contrary.
For the sons of men are tickle, and
he that is borne of woman doth spite his
face by diminishing the length of the
nose thereof
And 10 the printer-cven he who did
publish newspapers-was made glad by
the bounty of him who sold at retail;
and he did sound his praises, and print
them, moreover, and did blow the trump
ct of fame respecting that mans deal
ings, from the rising of the sun even to
the going down of the same.
And he-even he, the printer of pa
pers-did magnify and enlarge upon
the stock of goods which the trader had
in his store, and did publish the variety,
and the cheapness thereof, till the peo
plc-yes, all of them, far and near
were amazed.
And they said, Lo this man hath gath
cred from the East and the West costly
merchandise and wares of wondrous val
ue-even the workmanship of cunning
artifcers-and knew it not.
Go to, then. We will lay out our
silver and gold in those things which
the printer printed of, and that which
he doth publish shall be ours. For
this mans merchandise is better than
the bank notes of those who promise to
pay and therein lie, even banks of de-
posit which beguile us of our money
and swindle us like sin.
But that trader was still sad, and he

Fashion.

"There is no great loss without some
small gain says the adage, and SO, We
believe that everything unpleasant has
its benefits also. 1t is "the fashion,
just now, to rail against fashion Hus-
bands and fathers are continually send
ing up serio-comic complaints against
the tyranny of the tickle divinity, and
making alarming estimates on dry goods
and millinery bills-editors make use
of their columns to give fashion official
fits and altogether, she seems to us,
an abused individual. We contend,
then, that fashion is a very good thing,
and taking bold stand, are prepared to
prove it. In the first place, it is as ab-
sured that We should always wear the
same styles of garments, as that We
should eat the same food, or drink the
same beverages. The eye loves varie,
ty-sameness pals upon the taste, and
if acknowledge that beauty means any
thing at all, we acknowledge the neces-
sity ofhaving fashions. But the strong
est argument in their favor, is the i'm
mense variety of employment they give
rise to--the immense number of mouths
which they fill with daily bread. There
are hundreds of persons who deserve a
living just as we'll as any of us, and who
are occupied solely in desinging new pat
terms for goods, jewelry, garments, en-
broidcry, ETC., etc. Stop the fashions,
and you stop the salaries of all these
persons 1t is undoubtedly true, that
nobodys salvation ever depended upon
the cut ola coat or the form ola waist
band, but it is grave mistake to think
that the absolute necessities of life are
the only things worth working for, and
too much cant has been talked about
humility and 'plainness' in all things.
Such humility is, after all, only another
species of vanity.

The shadows we Cast.

Father, husband, wife, sister, brother,
son, neighbor-are We not casting shad
ows daily on some hearts that are pin
ing for the sunlight of our faces. In
all their infinitely varied relations, men
and women, selfshly or thoughtlcssly
from design, weakness or ignorance
are casting their shadows upon hearts
that are pining for sunlight. A word,
a look, tone, an act will cast a shadow
and sadden spirit for hours and days.
Speak kindly, act kindly, be torgetters
of self and regarders of others, and you
will cast but few shadows along the path
Of lite. The true gentleman is always
tender of the feelings of others, Of their
pleasures instead of his own. He casts
but few shadows. Be gentlemcn-la-
dies; or, in word that includes all gra-
ces excellencies-be Christians-for it
is the Christian who casts fewest shad-
ows of all.

saying in a gentlemanly tone: lean

Instantly Nelly experienced glow o
warmth about her heart that had fell
the risings of scorn before. She modest

"Bc kind enough to walk over to the
opposite counter. As see the clerk

said Nelly followed with a beating
heart How different this treatment
from the unkind suspicious of the more
elegant LoyI. Very courteously he
waited upon her, forcing no goods to her
attention; merely boging if she, vas not
satisfied, taking down with a1acrity
whatever she asked for, so that every
moment she looked at his me counten-
ance, her admiration grew stronger, per-
haps another sentiment increased also
in depth and intensity. Suffice it to say
that Nelly bought till her fifty dollars
were expended, leaving directions for
the goods to be sent to certain place
to be paid on delivery As she left the
store, Angcs threw the card of rich lace
she was examining, and saying hastily,
I'll call in again, by-and BY she fol-
lowed her mistress.

breath; ''of all the infernal'-

the parcels he had sold.
'Good mornings work." muttered
the other; 81 bavn't taken a rcd cent,

the counter was IA sight to be seen.-
Great heaps of silks, velvets, shawls and
laccs strcwed it from one end to the |
other.
What did that girl buy of you?"-
asked Lloyd, directing a clerk to put up
The goods: full hour work.
''Nothing to speak ot-only fifty dol |

'Fiity dollars! why, l didn't think

Lloyd.

EV ENING AT HOME.

When the sad and dreamy twilight
i'h Deepens into sterner night
And the playful shadowy moonlight
Maketh all things fair and bright
Then abroad its sweet to wander
a. Meath The heavens gilGed dome
But the heart is bitter, fonder,
Mid the joys of happy home.
In the warm, bright summer season,
When the dewy evening air,
Stealing gently through the easement
Tanning from the brow each care
Then, beside the window sitting,
Visions bright before me loom
And wait loved one coming
>. To share the bliss of joyous home
When the chilling blast of winter
Moaneth through each crevice near,
And the gathering tempests madly
Rushes on with sound so dear,
Then, upon the bright fire gazing,
Think l of the poor who roam,
And l listen for the tread of
One love to welcome home.
o, these happy evening hours,
Oft we'd fain prolong their stay;
But they, swiftly passing onward,
Heed us not, but fly away,
So may we live, that when our mo-
One by one have lightly flown,
We Anay pass long, bright even
ing
In the angels happy home.

And the sons of men shall meet him

And shall flash the dollars in the

And from the East.
And from the West.
And the printer rejoiced, and his ':.tat'

But the trader could not become poor;

THE DRESS, NOT THE LADY.
BY MARY A. DENNIsoN.

Nelly Blossom pretty name is
not? sat in her dressing-room laughin;
rs hard as she could laugh. What coult
it be for, am sure nobody could tell
for she was alone neither reading, sing
ing, or talking to herself. She had beer
occupied in com bing her beautiful hair
and this was the situation in which she
sat. A brush in one hand, great mass
of silky curls in the other, her head
thrown back, her voice ringing out in d
succession of good hearty ''ha, has"
"What is the matter, Nelly?' asked
her mother, standing smiling at the
door.
"Ol was thinking of something ST
funnyr' cried Nell springing to her feet
and plying the brush; never mind
mother, I've got plan in my head, and
if L decide upon putting it into execu-
ton, I'll tell you what it is"
at breakfast, pretty Nelly was all
smiles.
''Shall you go out shopping to-day?''
asked her mother Slancing casually to-
wards her daughter.
Or this, Nelly began to laugh again,
then restraining herself on catching her
fathers eye, she answered, l havn'
quite made up my mind-perhaps L
may"
'.Ahl contriying already how to make
way with that fifty dollars, Uncle Joe
. sent you yesterday. Well, Nell, make
good use of it;-there's many poor
q man would feel like prince these hard
times, with fifty dollars in his hand.
"I'll try to SIR replied Nelly, her
. laughing eyes growing more quiet in
their expression.
"Who did you see last night, Nelly?"
asked Mrs. Blossom. lounging over her
tea after the patGrfamilas had gone out
"Henry Lloyd and Charles Sheldon,
as usual replied Nelly, archly.
"Were they both attentive?"
."As two shadows" replied Amy
"Henry never looked nobler and hand
somer in his life"
2Last time it was Charles said Mrs.
Blossom.
Nelly blushed. al know" she said;
al find it difficult to choose between
them, confess.
"Henry is the handsomest and the
richest of the firm, said her mother,
looking out, as mothers will do, for the
main chance.
Il don't know about Henry's. being
the handsomest," replied Nelly; ''there
is something very superior about Charles
Sheldon's face, but he is so very retiring!
one has to give him so much margin!-
To be sure Henry is more dashing, might
be called more elegant, and has certain
Iy more brilliant eye and color. Per-
baps he dresses in rather better taste;
but although he pleases more in COM
pany, there is something in Charles
Sheldon's quiet way and deep eye that
sometimes seems more attractive"
"Both appear to have stearling quail
tics" said Mrs. Blossom.
"Yes, they appear to have; but I'm
going to test them to-day"
"What do you mean, Nell?"
'Oi that's what was laughing at up
stairs, this morning." replied Nelly in
a merry way. "You see I've such az
capital planl and I'm the very one to
carry it out, think. I shall spend my
fifty dollars on poor Mills family.
"What wild freak now?' asked the
maturer Blossom of the two, looking
wonderfully at her daughter. Dear
easy little. woman, Nelly had not much
to fear from any Interference on her
part. 1t was we'll that the young girl
