To Youug Men.

To lackadaisical youth with an inner
consciousness of fitness for great
life mission" we particularly commend
the following sensible advice:
1t is easier to be a good business man
than poor one. Half the energy dis
played in keeping ahead that is re-
ouired to catch up when behind, will
save credit, give more time to business,
and add to the profit and reputation OF
your word. Honor your engagements.
If you promise to meet a man, or do
certain thing at certain moment, be
ready at the appointed time. Ii you
have work to do, do it at once, cheer
fully, and therefore more speedily and
correctly. If you go ont on basiness,
attend promptly to the matter on hand,
and then as promptly go about your
own business. Do not stop to tell
stories in business hours.
If you have a place of business, be
found there when wanted. No man can
get rich by sitting round stores and sa-
looms. Never "fool" on business mat
ters. If you have to labor for living,
remember that one hour in the morning
is better than two at night. If you en-
ploy others, be on hand and see that
they attend to their duties, and to di>
rect with regularity, promptness and
liberality. Do not meddle with any
business yeu know nothing of. Never
buy any article simply because the man
who sells it will take it out in trade.
Trade is money. Time is money. A
good business habit and reputation is
always money. Make your place OF
business pleasant and attractive; then
stay there to wait on customers.
Never use quick words or allow your
self to make hasty or ungentlemanly re-
marks TO those in your employ; for tC
do so lessons their respect for you and
your influence over them. Help your,
self and others will help you. Be faith.
full over the interests confded to your
keeping and all in good time your re.
sponsibility will be increased Do moi
be in too great haste to get rich. Dc
not build until you have arranged and
laid q good foundation. Do not-as you
hope or work for success spend time
in idleness. If yoar time is your own
business will suffer if you do. If it il
given to another for pay it belongs tC
him, aud you have no more right Il
steal that than you have to steal money
Be obliging. Strive to avoid
harsh words and personalities
Do not kick every stone il
the path; more miles can be made in &
day by going steadily on than by stop
ping to kick. Pay as you go. A mar
of honor respects his word as he doe.
his bond. Ask but never beg. He'll
others when you can, but never give
when you cannot afford to, simply be
cause it is fashionable. Learn to say
no. No necessity of swapping it out dog
fashion, but say it firmly and respect
fully. Have but few coufidants, anG
the fewer the better. Use your Owl
brains rather than those of others
Learn to think and act for yourself
Be honest. Be vigilant- Keep aheaC
rather than behind the timss. Youpl
men, cut this out, and if there is folly
in the argument let us know.-Er.

effort to give dramatic effect to BLhR''

are not yet satisfied that the ruling
spirits in New York did no* secretly ait
GRANTS election. They certainly aideC
lit: whether Intentionally, let facts de
eide. They made u vigorous onslaught
upon Maine, which they bad no hope o.
carrying, and wasted there the strength
they seemed afraid to use in Ohio and
Pennsylvania. They put mp SAM. COZ
to repudiate that portion of the plat
form which was essential to success IL
the West; they had the World to pub
lish straw editorials through which the
Times and Tribune let daylight in every
issue, and they made. vicious and
senseless personal attack upon GRANT
and his habits, thereby strengthening
him and his cause in the East. As a
proof of their efficiency we may say
that about the first documents sent By
that Committee into West Virginia came
about four days before the last cleo
ton, and we presume this is fair SAM
pie of their general management Of the
campaign. ...a.t ~,
The October elections came upon us
and we were beaten by light majorities
Wall street and the World saw their op,
portunity, declared for CHASE and man
aged to turn a temporary check into a
general defeat. The articles of the
UorM and the demoralizing dispatch
of BELMONT and TILDEN, asserting in
effect that New York alone of the whole
country was "not panic-stricken," lost
US ten votes where the State elections
lost us one. We could stand the blows
of an enemy in front, but We were not
proof against domestic treachery and
the craft of foes at our own fireside,
The pretence of the World that its
double-leaded CHASE articles were mere.

stump, Is too transparent to need expo
sure. That paper merely desires to re-
gain its position as Democratic organ,
so as to be ready for the next Oppor'
tunity to sell and betray the party
whose defeat it has just aided.
To these causes then is our disaster
to be referred. The New Workers have
coolly sold the national election to Sc
cure the spOils of their own State, and
every element of defeat that was needed
in addition to the BRoADHEAD letter and
the altered character of the canvass,
they have contributed through the
mismanagement and treachery of the
professed leaders of the National De-
mocracy. They have betrayed rs once;
that is their fault. Next time, it will
be ours.

The eI,te.t Freak i'm Fashion.

As with history, so with fashion; it
repeats itself at stated intervals. The
latest repetition is in mems hats. The
aristocratic male has returned to his
first love-that is, the sugar-loaf hat
with the crown crushed in and the brim
turned up, which was once so popular
During the war this style was all the
rage, as it was nearly an imitation OF
the dress hats worn by army officers. II
any one has any hesitansy in determin'
ing whether or not he shall immortalize
himself in one of those "sugar-loafs,'
let him remember that the votary Of
fashion must sacrifice all ideas of indie
pendencs and be content to "do as Rome

WHY TEXAS is CALLED THE

WHY TEXAS is CALLED THE
"LoNE STAR.''-The Lavacca
Commercial, being asked by a
correspondent why Texas
should have for her seal a FIVE
pointed star, and as to the ORR
gin of the motto ''Lone Star"
replies as follows: "In 1913
the writer hereof met at the
house of Mr.. Polly, in Bailey's
Prairie, BFazoria county, old
Governor Smith. Mr.. Smith
was Provisional Governor of
the embryo Republic, or State,
or Territory, of Texas. In con-
versation about the Texas en-
blem, the five pointed star, he
gave us its Texas origin. He
stated that while acting as
Provisional, it became neces-
sary to send some official docu-
ment to New Orleans. The
gentleman who was to take the
document insisted that it
should have some kind of seal.
The provisional government
had adopted none. Just then
some one observed a FIVE point
ed brass button on the Govern
Or's old overcoat. It was cut
off instanter and used as a
State Seal. Arrived in New
Orleans, the newspaper report
ers, seeing the impression of
the five-pointed brass button on
the wax, made it an emblem
for the Lone Star Republic"

JOSH BILLINGs's GOOSE TALK.

JOSH BILLINGS'S GOOSE TALK.
The goose is a grass animal
but don't chaw her cud.
They are good livers; about
one aker to a goose IL enuff,
altho thare liz sum folks who
think that one goose tew IT'S
akers il nearer rite. =.
These two calculations are
so far apart that it il difficult
tew tell now which will finally
win.s
But / don't think if 1 had a
farm of 175 akers, awl paid for,
that | would sell it for half
what it it wuz worth, just be-
cause / didn't have but one
goose upon it.
Geese stay well; some of our
best biographers say 70 years,
and grow tuff to the last.
They lay one egg at once,
about the size of a goose egg,
in which the gosslin lies hid.
The gosslin il the goose's babe.
The goose don't suckle its
young, but turns him out to
pasture on somebody's vacant
lot.
They seem few lack wisdom,
but are considered sound ON
the goose.
They are good eating, but
not good chawing; the reason
of this remains a profound Sc
kret tew this day.
When a female goose liz at
work Matching she il a hard
bird tew please /; she rifles clear
up from the bottom in a mint,
and will fight a yoke of oxen
ifthey show her the least bit of
sass. 4=EYHE{9
The geese liz excellent for
feathers, which she sheds every
year by the handful.
They are also amphibecuses
besides several other kinds of
cuSS.
But they are morally sure
about onething- they can haul
one leg up into the body, and
stand on luther awl day, and
not touch anything with their
hands. g
| take motifs thar amt but
darn few men that kan do this.
