with IT, If you lack time or means to ac-
quire them, try some other pursuit. A good
many people think that printing is one Of the
best paying Of occupations, that is, speak
ing Of employees. This is a mistaken idea.
From the fact that this trade has more of a
tendency than many others to educate and ele-
vate the mind, one might draw the inference
that il must be the most profitable, but this
would be theory while practice gives il tho
lie. There are few trades that do not afford
better pay to the average workman than
that Of the printer. A very few Of the best
men can command as good wages as are re-
ceived by the best workmen in other pur-
suits, but tho poor workmen cannot get pay
equal to that obtained by men Of equal abil-
ity at other occupations. A poor or second
rate printer is always the first to lose his
situation il the work is light. and tho last to
get another. Far better and more noble is
II to be good ditcher or wood.choprer than
a second class workman IN the most elevated
Of callings, and IL pays better in dollars and
cents. You may think this broad state
ment, but it is true that a good farm aborer
earns aud receives more money every year
than an inferior printer, while his expenses
are lighter. BE a frst.claSS workman, or

propose to give the receipt by which have
preserved my youth. | have always given
a friendly welcome to new ideas, and have
endeayored not to feel too old to learn-and
thus, though stand here with the SHOWS Of
so many winters upon my head, my faith in
human nature, my belief in the progress Of
man to better social condition, and espe-
cialy my trust in the ability of men to estab-
lsh and maintain sell-goyernment, are as
fresh aud as young as when began to trav.
ell the path of life. While | have always
recognized that the object of business is to
make money in an honorable manner, have
endeavOred to remember that the object in
life is to do good. Hence have been ready
to engage in all new enterprises, aud, with
out incurring debt, to risk the means which
had acquired in their promotion, provided
they seemed to me calculated to advance the
general good,-F, ON his speech on his SD

TOO MANY MIDDLEMEN.

Since 1860, the number of persons en-
gagged in trade and transportation has in-
creased iorty-four per cent. against an in-
crease in the total number reported OF 9TH
err occupations of ouly 1871 per cent. and
against an increase in population of only
twenty-five aud halfper cent. But it may
be asked, is not this due TO the extension of
our lines Of trade, involving rapid increase
in the agencies and agents of transportation
In some small degree this is true. have,
however, deducted as far as practicable the
classes engaged in transportation as by the
eighth and ninth censuses, aud find the in
crease in the trading class proper to be still
not less than forty per cent. What does
this signify? How does this fact connect
itself with the social aud economical inter-
ests of the community? 1t may doubtless
be read differently by many persons, but to
my mind it corrOborates strikingly the re-
suits Of independent observations pursued
for several years, to the effect that all
branches of trading, and especially the de-
partment of retail trade .have had an extern
sion in the direction of multiplying stores,
shops aud stands, Of maintaining an increas-
ing number Of employees Of all classes, aud
Of exaggerating the incidental expenses of
" business, far beyond the natural require
ments Of trade, and, OF course, at the ex-
pense of the consumers Of the country, In
other words, the people of the United States,
il this diagnosis Of the situation is correct,
are maintaining body Of persons not less
numerous than the standing army of the
British Empire, and with far greater num-
Der of dependents, in the way Of wives and
children, than are charge to the officers
and soldiers of that army all in excess of
the legitimate demands Of exchange.
This statement might even be made strong
er without departing from the reason Of the
case for as population deepens within any
section, the exchanges Of that section ought
to be effected with diminishing aud not an
increasing ratio of expense. Even the sub
division of trade, aud the establishment OF
commercial specialties in populous COMMUNE
ties, which might, on the first thought, seem
to require an increase in the number Of per-
sons engaged, does most undeniably Iend to
effect larger amount Of exchanges at the
same expense, for wages OF employees, trans
portation charges, and waste OF material
What has rendered such an increase in
the trading classes possible2 Has it not
been the weakening and distraeting OF the
economical sense Of the currency2 In a
natural aud healthiul condition Of trade, any
increase in the number Of the trading class,
in excess Of the amount Of trading to be
done, would require the same amount Of
profits to be divided in smaller individual
shares, aud the effect would thus be TO starvt
out the superauous members, the poorest
first, as is right, driving these to other more
directly productive branches of industry, for
which they might be found better qualified
than Tor the difficult and delicate duty OIL

OlLlNG SHINGLES.

In 1913 built shed from the house to
tho barn with two roofs; singled il with
saplng pine shingles. One roof or one side
| oiled with bank oil, which is the cheapest
fish oil in market-then worth about forty
cents per gallon, worth about sixty cents
now-and it has proved AN experiment
worth being made known to others. The
roof or side not oiled had to be shingled
over eight or ten years ago The side which
| oiled is yet good. I oiled it over again
last fall and how much longer II will last
don't know, but | do know it has lasted
twenty-five years without repairing and
without leaking.
Last fall | oiled other roofs besides the
one which WAS oiled in ls4s, and / think
sapling pine shingles well oiled when first
laid, if they are dry, and we'll oiled once in
ten years, would last an age
N. b. The shingles should be perfectly
dry when oiled, and as much oil put on rs
will strike in.-Cor. Mirror and Farmer.

and the Clergyman being present was asked

be mixed up with the thing In any way. So
another gentleman prayed; and he offered u
good prayer. too. And he did not forget to
pray for the man who was too righteous to
pray for sinners. When the meeting had
been opened fifteen minutes that clergyman
wished he had prayed. When il had pro-

every moment? lie stands ut the door and
knocks, and. If we are willing, he will come
in. II is idle to talk Of an outward heaven OF
nm outward hell, unless we first escape the
inward hell and go to the inward heaven.
The most real hell and deepest hell is self
ishess; this Is the great gulf fixed between
the evil and the good. which cannot be pass
ed over. As long as one Is thinking mainly
of himself, his own little successes and fail
ures, his own small merits or dement's, so
long there is great gull fixed between his
soul and heaven. He sees Abraham afar off
with Lazarus in his bosom. He cannot en-
ter into communication with noble souls,
with the good, great, true and pure; for he
is himself too small and too mean for this.
lie has in him worm that never dies and II
fire that is never quenched. He Is consum.
cd by Unsuitable longings. No matter what
he has, ho thinks he ought to have more; no
matter how much he is honored and praised
he thinks he ought to be more honored and
more praised; no matter what position or
power he has gained, he thinks he ought to
have something greater. Selfshness is new
or satisfied. 1t is u perpetual root Of discon-
tent. It is hell which men carry in their
bosoms wherever they go. Shall we say,
then, that there IL no outward heaven and
no outward help No; we may admit both.
But these have their roots within; they are
the fruits and results Of the inward heaven
and the inward hell. A generous man draws
to himself outward reverence, love and hon
or; he lives IN the warm atmosphere Of love
A soul capable of self-forgetting reverence,
looking up to what is higher than itself, is SO
ennobled and hftcd up that it comes INTO
communion with what is great and noble,
and eats and drinks with angels and archan-
gels. We must have heaven in the
soul, and then we shall sit in heavenly place

The object of this article is to convey to

good printer. In the first place, he must be
a correct speler. No one who is not need
ever expect to make good printer until he
becomes so. Then he must have an under
standing of the principles of grammar and
punctuation, and clear lea of the proper
construction of sentences and the Specification
of words. These two latter requirements can
only come by extensive reading, and that in
