PoLITENESs MAKES MONEY.

FOLlA ENEOo MAhES NONEIs
A polite and oblfging salesman or
woman is like a mine of gold to
merchant He cannot succeed with
any other. One cross salesman will
drive away more custom than three
pleasant ones can attract. There
are clerks who think they know
their business so we'll that they can
tell at a glance whether person
looking at the goods is a buying Gus
toner or not-who act curt to those
they believe did not GENE to pur-
chase.
Years of experience cannot cult
vate 80 much shrewdness, but that
mistakes are often made by such a
plan, and offence given to paying
customers.
If a salesman acts as though he
owned the store, and it is a matter
of courtesy and condescension on his
part sell the goods at all, customers
do not like it, and go elsewhere to
buy.
In somo stores a stranger feels at
ease, every one there is so genial and
polite, while it requires courage to
enter some other stores and ask to
look at their goods, and one feels SO
home sick, it is joy to leave as soon
as possible, and have done with the
impertinent looks and criticisms
whispered among the clcrks.-Elnl
OrlOu--POmeroyS Democrat.

Out in Illinois there is a child
now three months old weighing but
two pounds. Its length is only seven
inches, and its face about the size of
of watch crystal. Its tiny arms
are so slender that a small finger
ring can be slipped on either of
them to the shoulder. This little
creature is already making quite a
noise in its part of the world, and
hundreds have called to see it. Its
parents are Of standard size.

A REMARKABLE PROPHECY.-The
following, which is known as "Moth-
er Shipton's Prophecy" was first
published in 1883, and republished
in l64l. 1t will be noticed that all
the events predicted in it, except
the two last liz es-which is still in
the future-have already come to
pass:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with
woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills men shall rise,
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float,
As easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found, and found
In land that's now unknown.
Fire and water shall wonders do.
England shall at last admit Jew.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eignty-one.

John Adams.

John Adams, the father of John
Quincy Adams, used to say, when
l was boy L had to study the
Latin grammar, butt was dull, and
| hated it. My father was anxious
to send me to college, and there
fore I studied the grammar till l
could bear it no longer, and, going
to my father, told him L did not
like study, and asked him for other
employment. 1t was opposing
his wishes, and he was quick in his
answer. . ..
"Well, John, said he. eff Latin
grammar does not suit you, you
may try neutrality-suspicious. that
will. My meadow yonder needs a
ditch, and you may putby grammar
and dig. wN
"This seemed delightful change,
and to the meadow l went, but soon
found ditchng harder than Latin,
and the first forenoon, was the long
est 1 ever experienced.
"That day I ate the bread of Ia
Dor, and right glad was l when
night came on. That night l made
q comparison between Latin gram
mar and ditching, but said not a
word about it,"
"I dug the next forenoon, and
wanted to return to Latin at dinner
time But it was too humiliating,
aud l could not do it. At night
toll conquered pride, and I told my
father-one of the sweetest lessons
in my life-that, if he chose, l
would go back co Latin grammar. ="
"He wasglad Of it, and if l have
gained any distinction, it has been
owing to my days labor in that
abominable ditch. ..,. '.-.
Daniel Webster did not like now
lug any better than John Adams
liked ditching. His father told him
to chang" his pcythe to suit him

tree. However, both Adams and

CHAPTER II.

What a lovely place it was, to be

among the hills; the water trans

cleaning on thc'bottom amid the
whito, silvery sand.
The gay party had bivouacked on
its grassy banks, reclining under
the shadows of the great trees, that
looked at themselves in the clear
mirror at their feet, with n rustic
of leave, altogether coquettish.
A tiny boat was fastened near.
Among all the merry party that
day none had apparently been so

pleasure at this by continually re-

feet in getting them"
Further, and further out the
boat glided. Agnes leaned oven

"They are a tough flower to pull,

boat, the edge tipped to the wator,
