lie WILL NEVER MAKE A MERCHANT. "A
country gentleman, not long since, placed a
son with a merchant in - street; and for
a season all went on well. But, at length,
the young man sold dress to lady; and
as he was folding it up, he observed a flaw
in the silk, and remarked : s'Madam, I deem
it my duty to tell you there is fracture in
the silk
This spoiled the bargain. But the mer-
chant overheard the remark and had be
reflected moment, he might have thus rea-
soned with himself, CHOW am safe, while
my affairs are committed to the care of an
honest clerk" But he was not pleased 80
he wrote Immediately TO the father to come
and take him home "For." said he, she
will never make merchant"
The father, who had brought up his son
with the strictest care. was not little sur.
prised and grieved, and FASTENED to the city
to ascertain wherein his son had been def
Gent. Said the anxious father, and why
will he rot make merchant 2
observation-disclosures he has no tact. On
ly day or two since, he voluntarily told
lady, who was buying silk, that the goods
were damaged, and SO lost the bargain
Purchasers must look out for themselves -
\ If they cannot discover flaws, it will be
! foolishness in me to tell them Of their exis-
tence
Father-'And- is Il this is al all the fault 2
Merchant-'Yes, he is very well in other
respects
Father-'Then love my son better than
ever; and thank you for telling of the
matter-l would not have him in your store

hard seldom yield to the fancied or real sor-

the strong spirit is shorn OF its might and
sorrow becomes our master. When troubles

E1ETEEN GREAT MISTAKES Iii a. o,

FIFTEEN GREAT M1srAKEs.-It is a great
mistake to set up our own standard of right
and wrong, and judge people accordingly.
1t is great mistake to measure the enjoy
ment of others by our own; to expect uni
formity of opinion in this world to endeav-
or to mould all dispositions alike I; not to
yield in immaterial triAes to look for per
lection in your own action; to worry cur
selves and others with what cannot be rem
edied not to alleviate all that needs alevia
ton, as far as lies in our power; not to make
allowances for the inirmities of others tt
consider everything impossible which We
cannot perform to believe only what oul
finite minds can grasp; to expect to be able
to understand everything. The creates
of all mistakes is to live only for the time
when any moment may launch US int
eternity.

Pay Your Little Debts.

Tue scriptural injunction not to despise
the day of small things, is never more ap
pilcable than at this season of the year. Il
is as customary, as it is necessary to safety,
In business, to make out at the end of the
year, all bills and present them for payment,
square accounts, ascertain the exact fnan-
clal position, and start intelligently, at any
rate, upon the operations of another twelve
months. With those who deal only in large
amounts. this is readily done; when the
debt is counted by hundreds of thousands of
dollars, it will be paid, if at all, promptly
when due; the trouble is with small bills.
Many are obliged by the nature of theirbus-
mess to give credit in small amounts but to
an extent which makes the aggregate large,
and therefore important and to the grocer,
mechanic, or dealer who is striving to build
up business on credit, these small sums
are OF the greatest consequence, because up
on them, and their being promptly met, de-
ponds his ability to meet his own engage
ments.
Nor is it sufficiently considered that
hundred dollars paid to ten Oh twenty or
thirty persons, enables them to pay hun.
dred, and their creditors to do the same, so
that it is easy to see that the same money
would pay thousands of dollars of debt, and
at last return to the pockets of the man who
first paid it out Besides, are there not
among those we owe small sums, some poor
woman, needy, it may be a sick mechanic,
some struggling youth, to whom payment
now is one essential of health. of safety and
of future fortune? Let every reader who
owes small sums put himself or herself in
the place, if possible, in the imagination of
the persons to whom they are due-they
will be paid speedily. The trouble is not
that they are dishonest, but that they are
needless

SIMPLICITY .-Krummacher illustrate

iiAuo't&'So
simplicity by the following beautiful fable ::
"The angel who takes care of the flowers.
and sprinkles dew upon them in the still
night, slumbered, on spring day, in the
shade Of a rusebush." When he awoke, he
said: "Most beautiful of my children, I
thank thee for the refreshing odor md cool-
ing shade. Could you ask any favor, how
willingly would I grant it," "Adorn me,
then, with new charm,'' said the spirit of
the rosebush, in beseeching tone. So the
angel adorned the loveliest Of flowers with
simple moss. Sweetly it stood there in its
modest attire, the moss-rose the most beau
tiful ofits kind. So the costliest ornaments
are often the simplest There is no gold
nor jewel nor sparkling pearl equal to the
tournament of meek and quiet spirit. which
is, in the sight of God, Of great price"

Poetry.
Live for Something.

Live for something; be not idle
Look about thee for employ;
Sit not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest joy.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts are never gay,
Life for thee has many duties
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathway
Gentle words and cheering smiles
Better are than gold and silver,
With their grief-dispelling wiles.
AS the pleasant sunshine falleth
Ever on the grateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness
GLADDEN. well the darkened hearth.
Hearts that are oppressed and weary,
Drop the tear of sympathy,
Whisper words of hope and comfort,
Give, and thy reward shall be
Joy unto thy soul returning
From this perfect fountain head;
Freely, as thou freely giyest,
Shall the grateful light be shed.

Life is made up, not of great sacrifices OF
