HE CoURTIEG OF a SHARP YoUxG Man
OF Business. is fast man, sharp
man, man Of business tact, and when
Pitts goes into store to trade, he ALWAYS
gets the lowest cash price: and he SAYS:
We'll, I'll look about, and if / don't
find anything that suits me better III call
and take this"
Pitts, like all fast men, is partial to wo-
men, and young ones in particular. Now,
quite lately Pitts said to himself:
Pm getting long in years, and guess
I'll get married"
His business qualities wouldn't let him
wait, 50 of he travels, and calling upon a
lady friend, opened the conversation by
remarking that he would like to know
what she thought about getting married.
Oh, Mr.. Pitts, that is an affair in
which | am not SO greatly interested, and
[ prefer to leave it with yourself"
" But" says Pitts, "you are interested,
and, my dear grl, will you marry me 2"
The young lady flushed very red, hest,
tated, and finally, as Pitts was very well
TO do in the world, and morally, financially
and politically Of good standing in society,
she accepted him. Whereupon the mat
ter-of-fact Pitts responded
Well, well, I'll look about, and if I
don't find anybody that suits me better
than you, I'll come back"
THE RELIGION OF PAYING D4Drs.-One
Of the religious papers has the following
strong remarks on the subject They
drive the nail up to the head and clinch ii;
" Nenmay sophisticate as they please
They can never make it right, and all the
bankrupt laws in the universe cannot make
1t right for them not to pay their debts.-
There Is a sin III neglect as clear and de-
serving Of church discipline, as in stealing
or false swearing. He who violates his
promise to pay, or withhods the payment
Of debt when it is in his power to meet
his engagement, ought to be made to feel
that in the sight of all honest men, he is a
swindler. Religion may be very COM
Portable cloak under which to hide, but if
religion does not make man deal Justly
IL is not worth having"
