GETTING ABOVE ONES BUSINESS
Almost every one is successful in bus
mess for the first few years, while he
has no capital, for then he is constant
ly diHggent nt and attentive; but whenhel
has made little money, and become.
a man of some note, with an extensive
circle Of, acquaintances, he is often
tempted Ito neglect his business for
politics, gambling, drinking or some
other pursuit; and whatever the pur-..
suit may be, whether lawful or unlaw-s
full in itself, which tempts him to re-.
sign the charge of his business to. 9TH

riably disastrous. -@1 . ...''' 'I'3'"''
Do Nor FRET.-A fretful, peevish,i
complaining, fault-fnding person in a
family is like the continual chafinIg' of,
an infiamed sore, Woe, to, the man..
woman or child who is exposed to the
influence Of such a temper in another.
Nine7tenths of all domestic trials and,
spring from this cause.gN
Mrs. Do is of this temp perament.
She wonders that her husband is not.I
more fond of her company That her.
children give her so much trouble,
That domestics do not like to work
her. That she cannot secure the good
will of the young people. The truth
is, she is Getful and peeyish. Chill
dren fear her and do not love her.
She never yet gained the affections of !,
a young person, nor ever will till shess
leaves off fretting. .s .5e.isitsi1o,
