Fifteen Business Rules.

/. Do not undertake business with
which you are not perfectly acquainted any
sooner than you would attempt, if blind, to
survey city. First thoroughly understand
what you propose to do. Serve an appren:
ticesship do anyth.ng-before taking a
single step involving risk.
2. Never attempt business for which
you have no taste OF tact. Seek to do that
for which you have natural faculty and
relish.
8. Never connect yourself by partnership
with those in whom you have not perfect con.
6dence with those to whom you would not
be willing, sick or we'll, at home or abroad,
living or dead, to intrust all your business af.
fairs.
4. Never attempt to do more business
than you can safely do on your capital.
5. Avoid taking the extraordinary risks of
long credits, no matter what profits are in
prospect.
6. Give no credit whatever to any one
who does not possess good moral character.
I. Supervise carefully your own business
mot your neighbor's,) and look after your
clerks, and see that they are faithful in the
performance of all their duties
s. Let all those with whom you have deal
ings or intercourse understand distinctly
that you will not lend youself for the sake Of
trade to do any mean thing-anything which
your conscience will not approve of. =" a
9. Never lend your name by Endorsement or
otherwise, except under the most extraordi.
nary circumstances, and then let the act
be guarded with every possible security.
10. Never allow yourself, or your partners
to draw dollar from the concern, to invest
in any g outside operation' whatever.
I In forp1ipr q enpa rtp arsbi,, ;pe;sk tbok
limited. tred sum only shall be drawn BY
each partner for personal expenses.
II. Under no circumstances whatever deal
in stocks. Don't believe any one of the thou
sand marvellous tales of a fortune in that di-
rection. They are trap and lie.
l3. Keep all your accumulated profits in
your business so long as you owe a dollar.
When you have more capital than you can
use, then it will be proper to invest it out
side. =
IA. Borrow of banks or other sources
never. if it.can be avoided Iftemporary as.
sistance is needed, seek if from tried friend
or from a sound banking institution, and
then return the loBn, on the day fixed, with
the most rigid punctuality.
10. Have an eye on the condition Of the
country, its crops, and the general prospects
for business, and look aut sharp for the move
ments of politicians, who, in nine cases out
of ten care more for reelection than for our
national prosperity. '''' '''''
There are other and most important mat.
ters which should not be forgotten. Keep
good company. Value integrity more than
money. Live within your means. Eschew
wine, theaters and fast horses. Use no pro-
fame language. Never quarrel with part.
ner. Be kind, considerate, generous to clerks
and also to poor unfortunate debtors C1f-
tivate the friendship of all. Do your proper
share in promoting the public veal. Be
man, a gentleman, and Christian !; and
you will make sure of an inheritance in his
life and of untold riches in the life which is
to come.

.,-s.,.-,. ,... GLIDE, Feb, 10, 1868.
Ma. EDIroR;--We are having quite an excit-
ing debate here on Spirituaism, between Mr..
Leland of Cleveland, and Mr.. Banum of HUI
ron county, o. Mr.. Leland is reformed Infidel
and Spiritualist. He has written several books
against the Bible, and lectured on Spiritualism,
and now tries to make amends for his past sins,
in picking the shins" of the Spiritualists, here.
Mr.. Barnum is one of their big guns and fires
hot shot and shell into unbelievers promisenous-
~. Tonight closes the debate.
The proposed improvements in the manufac-
turing line in our town, are progressing finely.
Teams are busy hauling stone TO build the new
FIGURING Mill Nearly all the ma chineery and
gearing has arrived. The Mill is to be erected
on the eomincn at the crossing of the S. d. d G..
r. r., on Main street, just north of MilIer's Drug
Store. believe there is to be an Edge Tool Fac
tory in connection with the Mill. The propre-
tors intend to have it in operation by harvest
We expect number of other Improvements in
the mechanical line, viii take place in our grow
in town during the coming season. Real estate
property is in good demand, and will be greatly
improved as soon as spring opens. ~ s.,.-
! The weather continues changable; one day
| dry, the next wet, the next showing, and so on,
| to the close of the week. Il,
Our merchants are driving heavy trade in
Furs this winter. They pay almost fabulous pri-
ces for skunk, coon, mink and grimalkin skins.
If any of your readers doubt this, let them be
convinced by coming here and smoliiug for them
selves. Flour went up from Sc so to $s, last
week, other provisions sell in proportion.
| The United Brethren have been holding pro-
tracied revival meeting here for some days past.
Success to all reyivals- DOCTOR.
p. S.-Wednesday morning, llth.--The great
debate between Leland aud Barnnm closed last
night Mr.. Leland took The emaeiated carcass
Of Spiritualism all TO pieces, aud then seraped
its bare bones. The Spiritualists are complete
lylwhpped out. Leland says he will put Sl0O
into the hands of committee, and viii let the
Spiritualists bring their Finnys or their Fays,
aud il he cant do all the miracles they can do,
he will forfeit the whole amount. guess they
will not accept his challenge, since Mr. Fay was
exposed in Pennsylvania the other day. DR..

We are rejoiced to learn. as we do from the
following article found in the Commercial, that
this sterling daily Isl highly prosperous con-
dition, and that its success is fully assured. 1t
is deserving the patronage Of all loyal citizens
for its honest and manly support Of the Govern
rnent and for its able vindication of the eternal
truths contained in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence:
The Commercial has now passed into the sec
ond year of its renewed existence, and enters
upon the new volume stronger and with better
prospects than when it started. One year ago
it was but an experiment the success Of which
was in doubt; to-day itssuccess is fully assured.
Never 10 the history Of our city has any journal
attained to so great a circulation or become 30
firmly established within SO short time.
With ample material and capital sufficient to
discharge all liabilities, and with large and ra-
pidlY Increasing circulation, we may, as We
th'nk.justly anticipate a success yet more bril-
liant in the future. Shonld orr .anticipations
in this respect be realized. we shall be able to
increase the size Of our paper and the amount
Of matter published, and TO thus make it com
pare more favorably with the Cincinnati and
