with lies and equivocations, slower in OBJ
tanning success, yet, as soon as the charac-
ter OF such man becomes known, and his
mode of doing business understood, there
is no longer, if he has ordinary habits of
punctuality, eyaetness and energy, any
competition worth naming between himself
and those who act on different principles.
There is natural adherence of trickery
and dissimulation in the human mind, and
those who employ them in business and
trade are not likely to deceive the same
customer more than once, and that one
imposition is sufficient to convert a man
who mi ght have been friend into an
enemy, and perhaps an active one. On
the contrary, business transactions conduc.
ted on the principles of equity and fair
dealing enlist the friendship of buyers and
secure their custom, because their own
interests are subserved in being certain
where they can get the exact article that
is desired on such terms as will leave a
reasonable but fair margin of profit for the
seller.
Whilst however, young men about en-
tering into business should bear in mind
that this principle is indispensable to per-
manent success, there are other maxims
without the observance of which this will
be unavailllng. These are referred to in
the advice given by the retired merchant
of New York, alluded to at the beginning
of this article. One ofthe mostimportant
of these is selfdenying devotion to the
object in view, and to duty to employers.
Unity of purpose and energy of action are
the great secrets of success IN every de-
partment ofhuman action. The man who
enters upon the contest of life with divi-
ded aims and an irresolute willis defeated
before he has begun the battle. The as.
plrant for success must choose between
that and selfindulgence. 1t is only for
him to decide whether the end is worth
the sacrifice; whether economy, sobriety,
carefrlncss and abstinence from dissipation
are too high price to pay for success in
lite, and act according. Like the comba-
tants in the Olympic game, the competitors
must prepare themselves for the struggle
by keeping under their bodies and bring
ing them into subjection, and come into
the arena stripped for the contest, before
they can hope to obtain the wreath of
yictory.-Baltimore Sun.

GIVING THE DEVIL HIS DUE. There is

GIVING THE DEVIL HIS DUE. There is
a point in the following anecdote:
A parson was making call upon an old
lady, who made it habitual rule never to
speak i'll of another, and had observed it
so closely that she always justified those
whom she had heard evil spoken of. Be-
fore the old lady made her appearance in
the parlor, her several children were speak
ing of this pecnliarity of their mother, and
one of them playfuily added: "Mother
has such habit of speaking we'll of every
body, that do believe if Satan himself
were the subject of conversation mother
would find out some good quality even in
him." Ofcourse, this remark elected smil-
ing and merriment, at the originality ofthe
idea, in the midst of which the old lady
entered the room, and on being told what
had just been said, she Immediately and
invountarily replied:
"Well, my children, wish we all had
Satan's industry and perseverance"

REQUISITES for Success in Life.

A venerable merchant of New York,
now retired from business, at an entertain
ment lately given him by some of his tel-
low merchants, to testify their appreciation
OF long life of unsullied commercial
honor and integrity, n de an address, in
which he set forth, for the benefit of those
entering business, the maxims upon which
he had always acted. These may be briefly
comprised in subordinating selt-indulgence
in every shape to the accomplishment of
the pursuit which is chosen in life; to
fidelity to employers as alike the dictate
of duty and Of interest to the most rigid
adherence to principle and honesty, and
to great caution in the selection of friends
and associates. Somewhat similar counsel
has been also given by Mr. A. T. Stewart,
the wealthy merchant of New York, who
says, in reply to questions as to the secret
of his success, that he has no secret, but
that it has been an invarible rule in his
establishment to treat customers precisely
as the seller himself would like TO be trea-
ted were he in their place that is TO say,
misrepresenting nothing, the price being
fixed once and for all at the lowest possible
nSuTc, anu Lhe oil ilCuneeehNSo VI WV J
not suffered to influence the salesman ID
his conduct in the smallest particular, the
same principle of justice being observed
throug ghout the large transactions of the
house, and especially in its dealings with
employees
Whilst it is not very probable that by
simply adopting the course OF Mr. Stewart
in this respect, every one may expect
thereby to become millionaire, it is not
to be questioned that fair dealing is one
great principle of success, and that all who
want to buy will prefer to deal with man
if they can find him out, from whom they
can get what they want at fixed and
uniform price. Though in the beginning
of business rigid adherence to this rule
may render honesty, in its competition

: supposing Mrs. Lincoln to have be-
come, indeed, deranged, there is striking
coincidence between the Presidential fam
lily of the United States and the late
imperial family of Mexico. Maximilian
was murdered, and his Empress is lunatic.
Mr.. Lincoln was assassinated, and his wife
is said to have gone daft. The characters
of the two families are as wide apart as
the poles; but their fates are alike.

l. began to open nay eyes widerr to pinch
myself and be persuaded that I was. peaE
ly not the victim of~a horrible deiusion,
and then 1 luaghed at my fears ard the
croakers OF whom it seemed to me had
just dreamed. graspcd my Valentine, kiss
I'd my ring, waited still tor Robert, and
pictured out our future happiness. Still,
doubts dspelled my comtort. l began to
realize why yet sat in the cold, on the
doorstone. Rushing to my room caught
I up heavy blanket shawl and leaving the
house, trod out upon the snow, resolving
to know the truth by going to tho house
OF Roberts mother. in the neighboring
vilIageEa distance of three or four-miles,
where i Judged they would deposit their
burden. passed the village tavern and
there heard men outside talking of the
terrible event. Still. teltthey were mis-
taken. There must have been another
Robert Davis. Had l not my Roberts
love tokens, one at my heart and one on
my finger, and was it p' ssible to prevent
the fultilment of his vow? The moon
shone down upon me now with u hard,
ugly glare-the snow piled deep above
my ankles as trod along unmindful OF
the beaten path, now in the turrows which
the feet of the shors s and the runners OF
the sleighs had made, and often crossing
fields of unbroken dritted snow. When L
passed the farm houses the watch dogs
barked at me iuriousl y; the windows
were bright and cheerful, though they
presented no attraction to me on my anx-
ious, wearisome journey. l became en-
tangled 10 shrubs; l. climbed opposing
fences and at last discovered the widow
Dasig cottage, which /; hadsoften passed
that very winter while sleigh-ridng with
Robert. / had never seen his mother,
but had been told by him of her excellence
and Ioveuble qualities. As | reached the
house RAW IL party of men go off in the
very sleigh which had passed my fathers
door, and there were many people con-
stantIy entering and leaving. / crept up
to the window and peeped in; the cur
tains were up. One or two persons stand.
ing before them obstructed my vision. L
could remain quiet no longer Rushing
into tie .honst,, / Tdiscoyered upon the bed
a .ialmmed, 3injistingnishable mass, which.
my fears told me correctly, was all which
was left of my Robert.
That is all of the terrible scene which |
remembers. One ort-rremainse me.

believe spent that night in sweet con-
verse with my lover He told me. as we
sat hand in hand of his Joy in tho posses
sion: :of my y3heart.; gave much advice asto
my way through life, and promised to
watch over me on earth, and greet my
coming in Heaven.
This is whyI spend so much time in
the old village graveyard. Bella and AL

dious moments, Gen. Albert Pike INDUCES

quite that long 1.-THE bills of fare of the
Washington ID. C.) hotels have been the
fruitful causes ofridicule. There has never
been, in any hotel in that preposterous
city one bottle in four of the different
wines paraded on the bills; nor one name
of.a9wine in two correctly given. If any
person who had charge of any hotel in
Washington ever knew anything about
wines, he had contempt too profound for
the mob OF men of all sorts who intest
those caravenserias, to furnish them with
wines fit to drink. We had, for winter

special table. at the Kirkwood House, hired
an extra servant paid the cook. went to
market, bought our own wines, and could
give good dinner-and did, too to many
clever gentlemen and noble gallant fellows;
alas many of whom afterwards fell, "with
souls afame each other," on the question
whether these States would be better off
as two republics claspIng hands. than as
one with its members always wrangling.
Among our guests in those golden days.

and one could get good dinner at the
Kirkwood,i If he would see-to it himself.
We have drifted a good way in the gulf
stream of old recoIlections. Of what use
are they tous now? The sun has set for
us, and the last crimson glorles OF his dy-

foreigner and an exile in our own land.
Psha! let the world stagger on. 1t IS a
mad, drunken world at the best; and it's
