A Business Rules.


An eastern paper gives the following sea.
sonable and excellent rules for young men
commencing business
The world estimates men by their success
In life, and, BY general consent, success rs
evidence of superiority.
Never, under any circumstances assume
a responsibility you can avoid consistently
with your duty to yourself and others.
Base all your actions upon principle of
right, preserve your integrity of character,
and in doing this never reckon on the cost.
Remember that self-interest is more like
" to warp your Judgment than all other cir
cumstances combined, therefore look well to
your duty when your interest is concerned.
Never make money at the expense of
your reputation.
Be neither lavish nor niggardly of the
two, avoid the latter A mean man is uni
versally despised, but public favor is step
ping-stone to preferment therefore, gener-
Gus feelings should be cultivated.
Say but little, think much and do more.
Let your expenses be such as to leave a
balance in your pocket Ready money is a
friend in need.
Keep clear of the law; for even if you
gain your case, you are generally loser.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
drinking and smoking cigars are
bad habits they impair the mind and pock
ct, and lead to a waste of time.
Never relate your misfortunes, and never
grieve over what you cannot prevent.

Light.

The reason why bodies have different col,
ors, some being black, some red, &C., is
this: The rays of light are divided into sew
en- primitive colors, namely--violet, orange,
red, blue, green, yellow, and indigo. When
light strikes ON a body, if this body be of Il
nature to reflect the whole of the rays with
out decomposing them, it will appear white
its reflects the ray, and absorb all Others
it will be red; if it absorb all the rays cxccp
the green, it will appear green; if it absorI
all the rays without exception, it will b
black, for black arises from an absence o
light.
