"The Wheelbarrow Busine SIS.

1T is relatefof Girard, that when
4 young tradesman having bought
of him and paid for a bag of coffee,
proceeded to wheel it home himself,
the shrewd old merchant immediate
ly offered to trust his customer for
as many bags as he might desire.
The trait of character revealed by
the young man in being his own
porter, had given the millionaire
confidence in him at once. His rep
utation was made with Girard. He
became favored dealer with the
enterprising merchant, ,thrived rapid
", and in the end made a fortune" p"

That sort of thing might have
worked well enough with old Girard,
but it don't fool anybody now. i
have tried it. l bought half e
pound of tea at Penderry's the other
day, after reading the above para
graph, and wheeled it home in the
most ostentatious manner, to see if
Pcnderry, who was looking on,
wouldn't offer to trust me for all the
tea that wanted, but he didn't. On
the contrary, | heard him speak mp
sharp to Il clerk rs | went around
the corner, asking him if that tea
was paid for?'

and went to Il flour store on Central

loaded it on, the head of the con-

The Hours of Sleep.

Great-stress. is made by certain
persons respecting the portion of
the twenty-four hours that should
be devoted to sleep. Many have an
idea that those Immediately follow
ing sunset are the most healthy;
and some even have kind of adage
running in their heads that an hour
before midnight is worth two after
that witching epoch. They derive,
too, a sort of logical reason in their
support from the fact that most an
imals and birds sleep from sunset to
sunrise. They forget that they are
compelled to choose this time, as
they can do nothing else; had they
vision capable of seeing at all hours,
it is very possible that they would
not select those hours so exclusive
ly as they do now by compulsion.
A great number of the nations of
the world turn night into day."
and with no apparent detriment to
their health, or deterioration of the
race. Allthe fashionable world be-
gin the day long after the sun has
risen, and end it by the light of
Dian's lamp. Laborers and me
chanics who require a good light for
their occupations, are compelled to
work between the suns; while the
man of letters prefers the quiet of
night, and the midnight oir' TO
marshal his forces.
So far as health is concerned, we
may each form our own judgement
upon the following facts: The ther-
mometric and hydrometric condi-
tions of the air are more conducive
of health and vigor when influenced
by the revivifying light of the sun.
This is not felt for several hours af-
ter its rising, rs its beams are not
sufficiently powerful to dry up the
dews and pestilential vapors; and
for an out of door employment,
there are no hours more noxious
than those Immediately after sun
rise. On the other hand, the genial
influences of the day-god remains
for several hours after the light has
disappeared; its effects-warmth
and dryness-lasting for consid-
cradle period afterwards, as various
ly determined by the wind, the sea
son, and other accompanying inhu
ences. In former times the light
was an important consideration, as
the feeble candle tried the strength
of the eyes; but improved means of
illumination have rendered this a
matter of less Importance to the

Then ] spat on my hands and
whipped them over my shoulders to

As he approached, saw he had
some money in his hand. ''He is at
least" 1 said, 'going to return me
my money" There was q severe
look on his face as he came up to
me which did not accord at all with
what l had pictured Girard's coun-
tenance to have worn when he gave
the carte blanche for coffee.
While rejecting that it might be
''his way" he said: "Sir, want YOU
to go right back to my store

not quite like his tone. "Wheel-

that l supposed the note to be gen

and was disposed to have me locked |
up and the wheelbarrow detained as

A Word to Young Men.

and self-reliant, as far as is compat-
ible with humility and ehild-like
simplicity. Be manly, not in sup
posing that you know great deal
knowledge comes by experience, by
study, by years; it does not come
by nature or by instinct. Yon can
get it by industry, by perseverance,
by loving it,but not by simply think
ing that you have it. Do not sup
pose that in urging you to be manly
in understanding you are urged to
be conceited. Quite the reverse. Man
lycharacter is man ifested in acquisi-
ton. You can acquire more knowl-
edge between, ten and twenty, than
between twenty and thirty; nay, the
first ten years are the years of great
est acquisition, and perhaps in the
first two one learns more than in
any two that follow. A little babe
knows nothing. 1t opens its eyes
upon n whole vast universe of mys-
terry. 1t knows nothing. 1t has
to learn the air and light, and all
the elements that surround it, and
all the objects in the wide world,
beginning with the room about it..
What wilderness of objects is about
it, all of which it must learn! 1t
knows nothing of distance. 1t does
not know whether its mother is one
foot or thousand miles distant.
1t has the whole language to learn
and then to learn the name of every
object in the wide world with which
it has to do. Think what it learns
in the first two, in the first ten, in
the first twenty years! Between
thirty and forty comes to be the
time to Judge and decide, to use the
intellect and reason; the time earlier
than that is the time of acquisi-
ton.
What wonderful truth there is
underlying the old story of the Sy-
bil,who made the offer of her treas
ures once, twice, thrice, each time
diminishing the amount of the offer.
Nine books are offered once, and re-
fused. Six books were offered and
refused. And when the third offer
came there we're only three, and they
were accompanied by the threat that
if that last offer was rejected there
would come no more. KnOwlegde
comes to you now, III the days of
your youth, like the Sybil with her
whole store, and offers it. Decline
her offer for the next ten years, and
she comes with diminished stock.
Ten years more and three-fourths
are gone; and when she comes with
her last offering her declaration will
be, ''Take this or you receive moth
ing"
Be manly, then, in acquiring knowl
edge; in getting deep knowledge
of the Word of God, of the ethical
relations that bind you to your fell
lows, and of the duty you owe to
the world. Go manfully forth and
do your work in the world. Exer-
else manlinesss first in the acqui-
sition of knowledge, and then in the
practical use of the understanding.
Manliness will imply not only cour
age, but humility and you must exer-
else humility simply because you
have not had the experience, with that

DREAMS.


Many nights my soul hath lain.
Listening to the soft refrain
Of song within my brain.
But song that died away
Song, that bore cadence old.
Though in measures strange it rolled.
Leaving something still untold
Ever a if died away.
sounds of the familiar past.
Blended in concord vast,
With new strains too sweet ia last
1hat knew must die away.
Voices, was glad TO hear
Ere on earth they ceased to cheer.
Swelled a chorus that seemed near.
Then in distance died away.
Mother accents. childhood rhymes
And forgotten Christmas chimes-
One fond voice of later times
Cape, and passed and died away.
What are lreamiugs? Nothing more
Than rumbling on the shore,
When lifc's breakers cease to roar.
And the spent tide dies away.
Yet when bosoms oyerWrought-
Seek to hush each weary thought.
Whence these phantasies nnseagh,.
That so gently die away:
Or when through the curtains white,
Floats one ray of morning light,
Whence that spirit-calm, so bright.
As 4 breath that dies away:
Dream my soul; the day is rife
With too many sounds Of strife;
In the tumult Of thy life,
Dreams, though sweet, will die away.
But thy slumbers may have CLEANS
Of peace beyond all dreams,
Where celestial music streams
Too Diyine to die away.

For the Republican.
FRIENDS OF PROSPERITY,


Money causes people to respect
us even if our hearts are calloused
with sin and inhumanity to man.
One of the hardest trials of those
who fall from affluence and honor
to poverty and obscurity is the dis
covery that the attachment of so
many in whom they confided was a
pretence, a mask to subserve their
own ends, or was a shallow delusion.
When men of means and moral
worth pass into eternity they are
soon forgotten. Their dear (?)
friends while promiscuously dis
bursting the funds left upon earth
by them, scarcely allow favorable
thought to flash across their minds
concerning those to whom they are
indebted for what they are.
They do not possess magnanimity
enough to ''thank God for what they
have been to each other" Some
times doubtless it is with regret that
these frivolous followers of the
world desert those upon whom they
have fawned but they soon forget
them. Flies leave the kitchen when
the dishes are empty. Occasionally
a man will suddenly emerge
from the dark shades of obscurity
to be favored by fortune, then he
fully realizes the power of money.
Presto, what change. He is gazed
upon with admiration by those very
persons who while in poverty and
obscurity, turned from him ON all
occasions. The parasites that clus-
ter around the favorite of fortune
to gather his gifts and climb by his
aid, linger with the sunshine but
scatter at the approach of 4 storm,
as the leaves cling to tree in Sum
mer weather but drop of at the
breath of Winter, and leave it
naked to the stinging blast. They
have no pleasant recollection of him
whose character and worth were the,
ladders rungs upon which they
cllmed to that position which all
honorable men strive to attain. Like
ravens settled down for a banquet
and scared by q noise, how quickly
at the first sound of calamity these
superficial earthlings are mere specks
on the horizon.
Shoddy friendship is not prompted
by benevolent impulses. 1t contin-
ues to retrograde, degenerate and
strives to get lower than its already
fathomless depths. But q true friend
sits in the center and is such for all
time to come. Our pressing want
only reveals him more fully to us.
Prosperity and adversely are both
revealers, the difference being, that
in the former our friends know us,
in the latter, we know them.
