Business Lying.

DR.. Holland devotes uhe Of the lonEeH,
chapters oi his Letters TO the Joneses"
to a severe criticism Of what he calls "the
habit Of business lying" as especially
practired by friend of his who was a
shoemaker. We have often wished that
that letter might be read by every busi-
ness man with whom we are brought In
contact, as there is nothing so disagree
able to Others and so injurious TO the one
practicng IL es this habit.
But we wish to say that in our expert
ence the Sons OF ST. Crispin are not the
only ones, nor the prominent ones, who
permit their tongues to speak guile in
matters Of business. Professional and
prominent business men, who are looked
up to by the community as patterns Of
honesty and teachers Of morality, often
overthrow the whole fabric Of character
which they have built, by hsbitual cares
lessness in keeping promise or meeting
an engagement. Men Judge their fellow
men by the little things that crop out Of
their lives, and can hardly believe that
his honor j. reliable whose tsracity Is so
often a subject OF doubt,
OuT dLItHllOH was pdTIlCOIaTlN Cdileh
to this general subject the other day by
hearing prominent gentleman Of place
remark in regard to q minister of the
gospel in the same town, "His preaching
does me no good, for never know when
to believe him. He has lied to me 30 oft
en- about little things and disappointed
me so often in minor engagements, that
l would not dare to trust my soul 10 his
guidance nor rely upon his versions ol
truth" What text for a sermon therel
And how often do We see men thus in
high responsibility, Jealous in their call
ing, but forced TO work continually
against an opposing tide Of theit own
trailties, and against the result of their
own carelessncss or lack Of true princi-
pie. Short memory or press of business
may serve as excuses for failure ~ keep
business promises occasionally, but the
habitual disregard of the common rules
of houor and veracity soon subject man
TO that most damaging of all bad names,
common liar. No matter how high or
sacred his calling, or how important his
mission, if he wins this name he loses all

Take care. and see, and feel,
Earth has all too much o woe,
And not enough O. veal.
Be careful that ye make nae strife
WI meddling tongue and brain,
For ye will find enough TO do
Ii ye but look at hame.
If ye Gamma speak o good,
Oh, dinna speak al all,
For there is grief and woe enough,
On this terrestrial ball.
II you should feel like picking flaws,
Ye better go, wecn,
And read the book that tells ye all
About the mote and beam.
Dluna lend ready ear
10 gossip aud to strife,
Or, perhaps 'iwill make Tor ye
No funny thing ofliie.
Oh dInna add to others woe,
Nor mock it with your mir,h,
But give ye kindly sympathy
To suffering ones of earth.
