Above His Business.


1t is a serious error that many young
man has fallen into to get above his busi-
ness A person learns a trade, and he is
too proud to work at it, and he must go to
shop keeping or street loafng, or turn poll
tician. Fool If he cannot make a living
at his trade, we are sure that he cannot in
any other way And then, young men
brought up to shop keeping must buy farms
OF houses, or some other foolish thing they
know nothing about, and what is the result?
Heels over head in debt and certain failure.
Multitudes have been ruined by being above
their business, and branching out into what
they knew nothing about There is no
trouble about young men who do not feel
their Importance, and who are willing to
work at their trades or professions till they
get little before hand. With a small cap
ital to fall back upon, they can feel like ven
turing into other business-and by this time
they will have formed habits that will keep
them straight Those who succeed best in
life are men who stick to their business and
make money before they buy farms and
houses, and commence speculating. Look
at our successful men and you will see where
lies the secret of success. You will find
they never were above their business, and
never paid for the doing of job which they
could just as we'll do themselves. We know
a man worth from thirty to forty thousand
dollars, and no laborer works harder than he.
He never hesitates to take off his coat and
do any kind of work about his premises
Such man is not above his business but
we think he is too far in the other extreme
OF this we are sure if all men will be
prompt and punctual, stick to their business
and not be too proud, they will eventually
succeed and become independent. -Er.

EVILS OF GOssIP-I have known a coun-
try society which withered away all to moth
ing under the dry rot of gossip Friendship
once as firm as granite dissolved into Jelly,
and then ran away to water only because of
this /; love that promised future as eudur-
ing as heaven and as stable as truth, evapo-
rated into a morning mist that turned to a
days long tears, only because of this; a
father and son were set foot TO foot with the
fiery breath of an anger that would never
cool again between them, Ionly because of
this husband and his young wife, each
straining at the hated leash which in the
beginning had been the golden bondage of
a God-blessed love, sat mournfully be-
side the grave where all their love and all
their joys lay buried, and only because of
this. l have seen faith transformed to mean
doubt, hope give place to grim despair, and
charity take on itself the feature of black
malevolence, all because of the spell words
of scandal and the magic utterings of gossip
Great crimes work great wrongs, and the
deeper tragedies of human life spring from
its larger passions; but woful and melan-
choly are uncatalogued tragedies that issue
from gossip and detraction most mournful
the shipwreck often made of noble natures
and lovely lives by the bitter winds and
dead salt waters of SANDER. So easy to say,
yet so hard to disprove-throwing on the in
nocent all the burden and the strain of dem
onstrating their innocence, and Furnishing
them as guilty if unable to pluck out the
stings they never see, and to silence words
they never hear-gossip and SANDER are the
deadliest and cruelest weapons man has
forged for his brothers hurt.--AH the Year

How can they use the peoples money for
