TO the traditions of the country, is the

To Young Men.

IT is easier to be good business man
than a poor one Half the energy dis
played in keeping ahead that is required
to catch up when behind will save credit,
give more time to business, and add to the
profit and reputationOf your work, Honor
your engagement. If you promise to meet
man, or a certain thing, at q certain mo-
ment, be ready at tho appointed time. If
you go out on business attend promptly
to the matter on hand, and then as prompt
ly go about your own business, Do not
stop to tell stories in business hours.
If you have place of business, be found
there when wanted No man can get rich
by sitting around stores and saloons. Never
"fOol ON business matters. If you have
to labor for living, remember that one
hour in the morning is better than two at
night. If you employ Others, be on hand
to see that they attendto their duties, and
to- direct with regularity, pTomptness
and liberality. Do not meddle with any
business you know nothing of Never
buy thing simply because the man that
sells it will take it out in trade, Trade is
money! Time is money. "A good bust
ness habit and reputation is always money
Make your place of business pleasant and
attractive; then stay there to wait on Gus
\ toners. ias- W ,..11g Oh ..rrU
Never use quick words, or allow your
self to make hasty or ungentlemanly re-
marks to those in your employ, for to do

influence over them.@ Ifelp yourself, and
others will help, you. BE faithful over the
interest condded to your keeping, and all
! in good time your responsibilities will be
increased Do not be in too great haste
TO get rich. Do not build until you have
arranged and laid good foundation. DO
not-as you hope TO work for success
spend time in idleness. If your time
is your own, business will suffer if
you do. II it is given TO another for
| pay it belongs to him, and you have no
more right to steal it than to steal money
Be obliging Strivestp avoid harsh words
and personalities. Do not kick every
stone in the path more miles can be
made a day by going steadily on than by
stopping TO kick Pay as you go. A man
,of honor respects his word as he does his
bond, Ask, but never beg. Help OTHERS,
when you can, but never give when you
cannot afford to, simply because it is fash

DON'T CROWD.


DoN'r crowd; this world is broad enough
For YOU as well AZ me:
The doors Of art are open wide
The realm Of thought is frec
OF all earths places you are right
To choose the best you can, .aN
Provided that you do not try
To crowd some other man.
What matter though you scarce can count
Your piles OF golden ore
While he can hardly strive to keep
Gaunt famine from his door,
or willing hands and honest heart
Alone should man be proud;
Then give him all the room he needs,
And never tTy to crowd.
Don't crowd, proud Miss: vour dainty silk
Will glisten none the less
Because II comes IN contact with
A beggar's tatiered dress
This lovely world was never made
For you and alone;
a pauper has a right TO tread
The pathway to throne.
Don't crowd the good from out your heart
BY fostering all that's bad;
But give to every virtue room
The best that may be had
BE each day's record such a one,
That you may well be proud:
Give each his right--gtye each his room @
And never try to crowd. ..

10 detain Gny privateer commanded BY
American citizens, and intended for depre-
dation on Spanish commerce. Her officers
are mostly Americans. The Spanish Min.
lister has also addressed this government a
sort of protest against the Hornet being
allowed to 60 TO sea, which complicstes
the case against the Cubans not littlr.
1t is the general belief here among off.
cials that the Hornet will be conf seated,
and her officers tried for violating the
neutrality laws. That is the name the
vessel Is recognized by here, but it is under
stood that after she left Halifax her name
was changed.
