SECRET OF SUCCESS IN BUSINEss.-Wh
YOU find a man doing more business than
YOU are, look at the advertisement he has
in the newspapers. The business man
whe puts his signs in the papers does
much wiser thing than when fastened
over the store, and who would think OF
negecling the!? The advertiser, informs
the public that he wants trade, and his
card in the newspaper is an inl itation TO
customers to ccme and buy. Where one
lerson reads sign in the street five
hundred read it in the papers. No mat>
ter how we'll business man is known, he
can always Pick up new customer, II he
will take the pains TO let them know
whore he is and what lie has to sell. No
one can afford not to advertise; for by
neglecting this means of securing trade
he looses the besL part of his profits.

DO WHAT GOOD YOU CAN.

I would not pass from earth away,
And leave no trace behind,
| wish to feel that | have been
Of service to mankind
For what is life without heart
To sympathise with those
Whom stern misfortune has assailed,
And crushed with bitter woes
] envy not the proudest King
That sits upon the throne,
Who hath not charity to mako
His subjects wants his own;
Nor would l for a moment,
That treasure Of the soul
Which ever teacheth peace and love,
10 gain the earth's control.
How grateful should the earth appea-,
With wealth at their command;
That they can stretch towards the poor,
A firm ard helping hand
And if it chance to be our lot
10 grace a lowly sphere,
Yet noble acts We may perform
Though triHing they appear.
A kindly word--a gentle smile
sympathizing tear,
May raise the sinking, fainting heart
And Danish clouds Of fear;
All we should so attempt to live,
While here on earth we stay,
That fearless may we be when death
Shall summon US away.

"only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown;
Till the nig ght Of earth is faded
From the heart, once full of day
Till the stars of Heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till the rcapors
Haye the last sheaf gathered home
For the summer time is faded
And tho autumn winds have come,
Quickly. rcapers gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart,
For the bloom of life is witherod,
Aud hasten to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
Al whose feet long have fingered,
Weary, poor and desolate,
Even now hear their footsteps
And their voices far away
If they call me, am waiting
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown
Only waiting till the glimmer
of the days last beam is flown;
Then from out the gathering darkness
Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
By whose light my SOU shall
Tread its pathway to the skies
