The Mercantile Transcript" gives the
following scasonablc rules for young men
commencing business:
The world estimates men by their success
in litc-and by general consent, success is ev
ilcnce Of superiority.
Never, under any circumstances, assume
responsibility you can avoid consistently with
your duty to yourself.
Base all your actions upon principle of
right; preserve your integrity of character
and i'll doing this, never reckon tho cost.
Remember that sclf.intcrcst is more likely
to warp your Judgment than all circumstnn-
ccs combined therefore, look to your duty
when your interest is concerned
Never make money at thu expense Of your
reputation
BE neither lavish nor niggard1y; O. .he two,
avoid the latter. a mean man is universally
despisca, but public favor is a stepping stone
to prcfcrmcnt therefore generous feelings
should be cultivated.
Say but littlc-think much-and do more.
J.ct your expense be such rs to leave bal.
ancc in your pocket. Ready money is friend
in need
Keep clear Of the law for even if YOU
gam your case, you arc generally loser of
money.
Avoid borrowing and lending
Vino drinking and scgar smoking arc had
habits. They impair tho mind and pocket,
and lead 10 waste of time.

to DO born poor, or not to have capital enough
to establish themselves at til ir outset of
life in good and comfortable business This
is mistaken notion. So fnr from poverty
being misfortune to them, if We may Judge
from what VIC daily behold, it is blessing,
the chances arc mayc than ten to ono against
him who starts with fortune. Most rich
mems sons die III poverty, while many poor
mems sons come to wealth and honor. 1t is
a blessing, instead of curse, to have 10
work out their own fortune
A YOUNG LADY of Esophus. Ulster coun-
ty, \. y, (and daughter Of Temperance
lately entered into ii lively discussion in the
Division OF which she was q mcmbcr, on the
subject Of cider drinking. 1t appears she
was very fond Of sweet cider, and on no &C.
count could she be persuaded to shun it. Ad-
dressing an anti cider drinker, she said: "I
love cider; it is necessity with mo; must
havcit- will havc it. If this Division de-
cidcs that must not drink it, shall eat ap.
pies, and then get some good looking fellow
to squeeze for I tell you can't live
without it,"
WHAT are you going to give mo for a
Christmas present." asked gay young dam
sci of her lover {" I have nothing TO rive but
my humble SELF" was the reply. "'rhc
smallest favors gratefully received" was the
response.
a CLERGYMAN asked of his scripture pu-
pills whether Z" the leopard could change his

prompt as might bo; when he's got tired
Of one spot he goes to another"
