equal to the demands of 80 ordinary

! 1t never did any good. It IS in
itself evil--''evil and only evil. aud
that eoutinually.'' 1t is the worst
possible way to deal with men or wo-
men, or children. It hurts your bu-
siness. 1t sours your home. It
spoils your children. It Injuries,
NEST of all, yourself. Scold your
partner, and you h;Se at once q
house divided against itself, and it
cannot stand. Scold your clerks,
and you. break down their interests il
your prosperity, and dispose them to
render with laggard hands eyc-ser-
vice, and nothing more. Scold a
customer, and he not only avoids you
himself but probably d;ssuades others
from you However unreasona BILE or
prcyersc lie was,. what he remembers
is, that you were cross. Scolding is
wretche dly out Of place at home. 1t
destroys affection: 1t 1t breeds dis
trust. 1t sometimes tears asunder
those whom God made to be one
flesh. A wife who could cling with
long suffering trust and love to q
drunken husband that, when sober.
was generous and genial, would grow
bitter towards the one, however COR
rect and provident. who was forever
frctting And 10 ncatness or diligent
and wise housewifery can make up to
husband the loss of that meek and
quiet spirit which, in the sight Of
God, is of great price. For the gov.
crnmeE. of children there is no worse
device than scolding. TO begin with,
it is token Of personal weakness on
the part Of parent or teacher. Child
ren 50 view it instinctiscly. 1t des-.
troys thus all reverence. And then
it sours their ,cmpers. 1t DESTROYS
their love Of home or school. It

''Snap' is small word with big
meaning. Every one believes in it
from the business man who himsell
has "Snap,' to the dainty young
miss who w,uldn't give straw for a
beau without hes got the snap in
him Snap is a peculiar American
word, with American attributes, and
an American meaning. 1t is not
found in any other language we be
lieve, and its significance is not seen
in any other country or people. II
We were called upon to say what snap
meant, we should say snap is snap
which wouldn':. be very Webstcrian
it is true, but then it would he very
much like snap, because it is quick.
sharp and final. If we should eiab-
crate Oh the attributes Of sacp we
should define it as a nervous concen
tration of q number Of excellent fac
ulties which sees everything. hears
everything, and does everything
which is always ready for use, and
goes off at any time, like the crack
Of wagon whip, or the springs Of a
steel trap. Snap is what makes
things 60. There is no surplusa &C
about tho cumbersome envelope
mcnts to clog its motion-no dis.
trust Of it's power to cause it to Lcs-
itate and doubt when it ought to act.
1t is clean cut, sharp, bright, quick
and always gathered up for use in any
and all emergencies. 1t never dis
eusscs nor considers; it only acts. -
In fact, snap is action. 1t is snap
that built the Pacific Railroad, snsr
that planted three or four young
states and ilourishing cities under
and on the Rocky Mountains in ter
years, and snap that makes Chiea gs
the largest grain and divorce markc,
in the world. Snap is purely bust
ness virtue, and is, beyond all dis
pute, the suprcmest and most highly
esteemed of human traits. 1t makes
small fortunes out Of nothing. and
large ones out of small ones. SNAP
is considered indispensable to young
man. ''Got the snap in him" is es.
teemed the highest recommendation
youthful seeker of place can bring
worth more than 4 bushel of letter,
or pedigree that runs back to Ply,
mouth Rock. Honesty is held il
good favor by the business world; &c
is industry; SCARE Perseverance, Pa.
tiencc, Temperance and morality
but there is not one business man il
ten who, in the selection of his clerk.
would not give snap the preference,
over them all.
