1t is bad business this, of losing
situations. It is bad sign too, for
it is presumptive proof that the To-
ser does not deserve the situations
he fails to retain. 1t may not be on
account of dishonesty, or drunken
ness, or immortality; these are gi-
ant vices that condemn their victim
in all places and circumstances.
The young man who is dishonest,
or addicted to dissipation and Ii
centiOusness, need not expect to be
trusted with the business of others;
it is a wonder that he should ever
get a place-much more that he
should ever keep it. But the Sc
we're exactions ofbusiness in these
require something else of a young
man than exemption from faults or
vices; they demand positive virtues
and aptitudes. Ayoung man may
possess exemplary morals; he may
have no bad habits; he may fatter
himself that he has a good education
and writes good hand, that he is
quick at figures, mathematician,
linguist, a scholar. All this is well;
but it is not enough. These accom-
plishments are graces that adorn
character, and give satisfaction to
their possessor; but they do not
mean business. Situations demand
not merely the absence of bad hab-
its; they exact good habits, such as
diligence, industry, cheerful willing
ness to work, without measuring
the allotted task; a vigilant watch
fulness over the employers interest;
the the practice Of doing things thor
oughly and effectively; promptness
and reliability. All these may be
possessed by men of ordinary tai
ents and Indifferent education; but
they will enable such a man to
hold his situation, and rise higher
and higher in his employers favor,
while a young man OF superior tai
ents, education and accomplish
ments, who is destitute ofthese ster-
ling qualities, will lose one position
after another. It is pitiable sight
to see a man out of business, and
without means, appealing to per-
sonal friends to assist him to get a
place, He deserves sympathy and
aid, and his friends should not fail
to encourage and assist him. But
there are too many young men seek |
ing clerkships and agencies, who
want not the situation, but the sala-
ry; they desire good wages with lit
tie labor; they want to do as little
work and earn as much money as
possible. They perform their du-
ties, but decline to perform more
than their duties; they are languid,
istless and Indifferent; they take
no active interest in the fortunes of
heir employer, and put themselves
TO no trouble to win his favor. This
class of men are the ones who lose
without knowing exactly
Why. If aman young or old, would
always retain his situation and win
avor, let him make himself indis-
,ensable to his employers. The
ask is not a difficult one, and VIII
,e worth more than he imagines.-

There are those who wish to know
only that they may know-it is Gu

it is vanity; that they may sell their
knowledge for money or honors-
it is greed; that they may edify

be edifed-it is prudence. The
grand idea of knowledge is to ac:

THE Observation-Disclosures of
beauty is one of the most decided
characteristics by which man is dis
tinguished from the brute. We dis
cover no symptoms of admiration in
animals of lower grade than our
selves. The peacock excites no
difference from the splendor of his
plumage; nor the swan her snow
white feathers; and the verdant
field, in her summer bloom, attract
no more than as their fowery sheets
allure the insect tribe, who in their
turn are followed by their foes, To
man alone belongs the prerogafive
ofappreciating beauty, because ad-
miration is graeiously designed as
the means Of leading him on to
moral excellence,

WHAT IS IT LIKE?-Some body
who seems to know all about it,
says: 'Love is like the devil, be-
cause it torments; like Heaven be-
cause it wraps the soul in bliss;
like salt because it is reishing; like
cigar 5tcau8e i iiS sweet; ike a
rope because it is often times the
death of man; like a prison be-
cause it makes one miserable, like
wine because it makes a man hap

man because there is no getting rid

one to wished for.port; like willo'-

cause it often runs away with one;

both make a man run mad; like a
goose because it is silly; like rab-

The WisE MAN-The learned

the wise man is equally useful to the

man has not elevated his mind

marksnot more delicate, nor his
actions more beautiful, than those
Of Others. It is wholly different with

Tha HnmiIiafine Treafv

The official document of the trea-
ty concluded at Frankfort by the
German and French Peace Commis-
sioners shows that this agreement
If we can so call treaty forced up
on one of the contracting powers
by the might Of the other-between
the two countries. is more unfayor-
able for France than we had sup
posed it would be, from the infor-
nation transmitted to us by cable
dispatches. It IS a startling illus
tration of the fact of how mere bru-
tai force still prevails over human
ity and justice. Atno time, during
the whole history of France, has
such humiliating treaty been i'm
posed upon her people--humilia-
ting not only in it's chief conditions
and stipulations, but also in its mi
nor detaiS and in the phraseology
in which the different articles have
been framed. tits not the contract
Of two nations willing to put an end
to bloody strife and settle their diff
ferences in an amicable manner but
the naughty statement of terms i'm
posed by a proud eonqueror upon
a conquered and helpless foe-the
ransom demanded by triumphant
highwayman from his fettered cap
tive. The stipulations of the peace
preliminaries have not only not been
moderated, but they have been made
harsher. The time given to the
French to raise the money deman-
ded by the Germans has deem de-
creased, and the money has TO be
paid all in gold, or in the best bank
notes of Europe. The first five
hundred millions of francs must be
paid in thirty days after the ratifi-
cation of the treaty of peace and
the establishment Of order in Paris;
another thousand millions during
the course of the year, and another
of Eve hundred millions
on the first of May, 1872. The three
milliards will have to be
paid with interest at five per cent.
on the ID of May, 1874. This ar
rangement gives the French but
three years in which to raise the
money, instead of five Cour. -sIr.
