BUSINESS RULEs.-An Eastern paper
gives the following seasonable and ex-
cellent rules for young men commencing
business
The world estimates menby their sue
cess in life, and by general consent sue
cess is evidence of superiority.
Never under any circumstances assume
responsibility you can avoid consist
emily with your duty to yourself and
others.
Base all your actions upon principle
OF right preserve your integrity of char
acter, and in doing this never reckon the
cost.
Remember that interest is more likely
to warp your judgment than all other
circumstances combined therefore, look
well to your duty when your interest is
concerned.
Never make money at the expense OF
your reputation.
the two avoid the latter. The mean man
is universally despised, but public ia
vor is stepping stone to preferment !;
therefore generous feelings should be
cultivated.
Say but little-think much and do
more. as
Let your expenses be such as to leave
q balance in your pocket. Ready mon
ey is a friend in need. a
Keep clear of the law; for even if you
gain your case you are generally loser.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
Wine drinking and smoking cigars are
bad habits; they impair the mind and
pocket, and lead to a waste Of time.
Never relate your misfortune, nor
grieve over what you cannot prevent.

SPEAKING WELL OF OTHERs.-f the
disposition to speak well of others We're
universally prevalent, the world would
become comparative paradise. The
opposite disposition is the Pandora box
which, when opened, fills every house
and every neighborhood with pain and
sorrow. How many enmities and heart
burnings flow from this source? How
much happiness is interrupted and de-
stroyed? Envy, jealousy and the malig-
nant spirit of evil, when they find vent
by the lips, go forth on their mission like
foul fiends, to blast the reputation and
peace of others. Every one has imper-
fections; and in the conduct of these
there will be occasional faults which
might seem to justify animadversion. II
is good rule, however, when there is
occasion for fault-finding, to do it priv
ately to the erring one. This may prove
salutary. It is a proof Of interest in the
individual, which will generally be ia.
ken kindly, if the manner of doing il
| is not offensive. The common and IN
christian rule, on the contrary, is to pro-
claim the failings of others to all but
themselves. This is unchristian, and
shows despicable heart.

FEMALE SocIETY--You know my
opinion Of female society. Without it
we should degenerate into brutes. This
observation applies with tenfold force to
young men and those who are in the
prime of manhood. For, after certain
time of life, the literary man may make
a shift Ia poor one grant, to do with
out the society of ladies. To young
man nothing is so important as spirit
of devotion next to his Creator) to some
amiable woman, whose image may oc-
cupy his heart, and guard it from pollu-
ton, which besets it on all sides. A
man ought to choose his wife, as Mrs.
Primrose did her wedding gown, for
qualities that "wear WELL" One thing,
at least, is true, that if matrimony has
its cares, celibacy has no pleasure. A
Newton or mere scholar may find en-
ployment in study; q man of literary
taste can receive in books a powerful
auxiliary, but man must have bosom
friend and children around him to cher.
ish and support the dreariness of old
noe.

Music HEALTHFUL.--Music, like
painting and statuary, refines and ele-
Yates and ennobles. Song is the Ian
guage of gladness, and it is the utterance
Of devotion. But coming lower down,
it is physically beneficial it rouses the
circulation, wakes up the bodily ener-
gies; and diffdses life and animation
around. Does lazy man ever sing
Does milk-and-water character ever
strike q stirring note? Never. Song is
the outlet of mental and physical activ-
itv. and increases both by its exercise.

The RIGHT SORT OF RELIGION
Some one, whose head is unusually
"level," has written out his ideas of re-
Ggion as follows. 1t will do to read and
think about:
We want a religion that goes into the
family, and keeps the husband from
being spiteful when the dinner is late ;
keeps the wife from being fretful when
the husband tracks the newly washed
floor with his muddy boots, and makes
the husband mindful of the scraper and
door mat amuses the children as well
as instructs them wins as well Is gov
ems them; projects the honeymoon
into q harvest moon, and makes the
happy hours like the Eastern fig tree,
bearing in its bosom at once the beauty
of the tender blossom and the glory of
the ripened fruit. We want religion
that bears not only the sinfulness of sin,
but on the rascality Oflying and stealing;
q religion that banishes all small meas
ures from the counters, small baskets
from the stalls, pebbles from the cotton
bags, clay from paper, sand from sugar,
chicory from coffee, beet root from vine
gar, alum from bread, lard from butter,
strychnine from wine, and water from
milk cans.
The religion that is to advance the
world will not put all the big strawber-
ries and peaches at the top, and all the
bad ones at the bottom. twill not offer
more baskets of foreign wines than the
vineyards ever produced bottles.
The religion that is to sanctify the
world, pays its debts. It does not con-
slider forty cents returned for one hun
dred given, is according to law. It
looks on a man who has failed in trade,
and who continues to live in luxury, as
thief. 1t looks on man who prom
ises to pay fifty dollars on demand, with
interest, and who neglects to pay it on
demand, with or without interest, as a
liar
