Singular Cure for Lazines..


The American Agriculturist relates the
following
A iri,nd, whose name we are not at liberty
10 give, but who is well end widely known as
business man OF sterling worth. was last
year erecting building. One of his excellent
pec1narltles IS to allow no lntemperance or
profanity among his men, and to insist that
every man shall work for the liberal pay he is
willing to give One day, this gentleman no
tlced that one OF the builders was constantly
snrklng. seeming to care only TO pass away
the time and draw his pay. Calling his fore
man, who had the hiring as well as the over
seeing OF the men, our friend asked whether
the lazy hand had been engaged for the sea
son or only for short time
"For the season." was the replv. sbut 7 can
discharge him, suppose"
"Oh. no;' said Mr., s'but want Won to
60 down to the village hotel and engage the
best room you can find; let this man 20 there
and occupy 1t; every month send his bill to
me, and will pay it."
The foreman informed the hired man of tbe
instructions given, and he at once went to the
owner. " '-~
9! understand you are not satisfied with nv
work." said he
Il lind no fault with your work." was the
reply, but because you don't work.
Il VIII leave, if you insist ON it, said the
man.
Not at all don't turn you away, but
nave given orders to have the best room at
tne motel put at your service, since you want
TO play the gentleman at my expense. and
promise you will pay the bill promptly every
month, but will not have your bad example
amongmy men,"
The poor fellow, utterly dumbfounded at
sucn treatment, scarcely knew how to reply,
put looked as though he would like to sink
into the ground. Finally, he asked,
Are you willing to try me for week ?"
Certainly" said Mr.-,"I am ALWAYS
willing to help man who wants to reform.n
The man returned to his work, cured OF his
laziness, and from that day forth, no more in
dustrious hand was to be found on the place.
