A TRUTHFUL SKETCH.--Leta a man
fail in business, what a wonderful
effect it has on his former friends
and creditors. Men who had ta-
ken him by the arm, laughed and
chatted with him by the hour,
shrug up their shoulders, and
pass him by with a chilling chow
do you do?'' Every triflle of a
bill is hunted up and presented,
that would not have seen day
light for months to come, but for
the misfortunes of the debtor. IT
it is paid, well and good; if not,
the sheriff doubtless meets him at
the corner. A man that never
| failed knows but little Of human
nature. In prosperity he sails
along, gently waited by favoring
smiles and kind words from every
body. He prides himself on his
good name and spotless character,
and makes his boast that he has
not an enemy in the world. Alas!
the change. He looks upon the
world in a different light when re-
verses come upon him. He reads
suspicion upon every brow. He
does not know how to move
whether to do this thing Or the
other-for there are spies about
him, and writ is ready for his
back. To understand what kind
of stuff the world is made of, a
man must be unfortunate, and
stop payment once in q lifetime.
If he has kind friends then they
are made manifest. A failure is
IL moral sieve-it brings out the
wheat and leaves the chaff. "A
man thus learns that words and
pretended good will do not con
stitute real friendship.
