Learn Your Business.

A young man in a leather store used
to feel very impatient with his employer
for keeping him, year after year, for
three years "handling hides" But he
saw the use of it in after years, when in
an establishment of his own he was able
to tell by touch the exact quality of
the goods. It was only by those thou
sands of repetitions that the lesson was
learned, and 80 it is with everything in
which we acquire skill. The great army
of "incapables is large enough we
should none of us willingly join it's ranks.
The half-informed, half-skilled in every
business outnumber the others, dozens
to one. It was good suggestion, wor-
thy of being remembered, which Daniel
Webster made to young man who
asked him if there was any "room in
the legal profession. " "There is always
room," said the great statesman.
The better you know your business
the better your chances to rise. If you
drone through your allotted tasks with
out keeping wide awake lookout on all
that goes on about you your progress
will be needlessly slow. You can gather
much information by making wise use
of your eyes and ears, and, perhaps, be
able to surprise your employer in an
emergency by stepping into the "next
mans" place and discharging his duties
satisfactorily.
A fine little lad, some twelve years
old, was employed in telegraph Office
in Southern town last year when the
yellow fever ragged SO fearfully in that
section. All the operators were down
with it and others sent on by the COM
pany were attacked. No one knew that
the lad understood the business, but he
had picked it up and kept up communi-
cation between the town and the outer
world all the time the fever lasted.
Ex-Governor Morgan was once clerk
in store in Waterford. A trip to New
York was an event in those days, but the
young man had proved 80 faithful that
he was intrusted with several commits
sions, among them being one to buy
corn. He came back in due time in the
old stage coach, and inquiries were made
about the corn. The price was very sat-
isfactory, but the old gentleman was
afraid It could not be good at so low q
price. A handful which the young man
pulled from his pocket convinced him,
but what was his amazement to find that
he had bought two cargoes.
"Why Edwin, what shall we do with
it ?" he asked in CONSERVATION.
81 have disposed Of all you don't
want" said Edwin, cat an advance. l
stopped in stores as I came along. 1
could have disposed of three cargoes if 1
had had them.
The profits were clear, and his employ
er said the next morning, "We will let
some one else do the sweeping" and
Edwin was made partner, though un.
der twenty one. If you have talent for
business it will be found.

laurel SPRING.

I was having my fill of fashionable
life. A hand's-breadth from me there
were diamonds flashing, there were
priceless silks cleaning and trailing
along a polished floor, there were lights
and perfume and music, and splendid
company, smiling and graceful and
gracious, were going through the figures
of quadrille. Others were promenad-
ing; others we're chatting in gay groups.
just past the window where I stood, q
pair of these radiant creatures swept at
this moment, the lady coquetting with
her ieweled fan. I could have put forth
my hand and touched her as she passed
so near, and yet so far apart from me.
A stately picture, set in costly frame,
having nothing in common with such
everyday, toll worn folks as the people
who stood looking on from without, and
among whom Jacob and /, lured by the
lights and music, had stolen up.
Itwas the piazza of the grand hotel at
Laurel Spring, and grand ball was in
progress. All, how beautiful it all was !!
It seemed like kaleidoscope of jewels,
flashing, changing, alluring, as / stood
there at the window looking through.
How should I look in just such silk :?
how would Jacob appear in just such q
white vest and elegant dress suit !? I
looked up at Jacob. He was a tall,
brawny fellow, was Jacob, and he was
my husband, and I had got so used to
seeing him in that blue shirt working
afield that I could not fit him into the
fashionable rig to my satisfaction.
But I said, ecstatically: "Dont they
look beautiful, Jacob?"
But Jacob answered never a word.
He stood there at my side, looking on
absorbed.
Again the music sounded, and the
splendid movement on the floor kept
time to it. 1t so wrought upon me that
in spite of my Quaker bringing up,
felt my heart beating quick, and my
feet putting themselves in motion.
"Oh, isn't it beautiful !" said again,
clasping my hands by way OF 'steadying
myself. :
"Its a grand play" said Jacob,
grufly, and I suppose we've got
right to applaud it if We like"
"Ah, but, Jake, jealous old Jake,
why don't you own up that it's beauti-
fulY
"Pshawp' said Jacob, impatiently;
"I see nothing beautiful about it. It's
all commercial affair-the whole thing
bought and paid for. These shoddy shop
keepers and officeholders and oil-diggers,
and heaven knows what all, send their
women folks here to keep trade going
for nothing else under the sun but to
bargain and haggle and ogle for places
and power and money"
"Then it's business" said I, admir-
ingly for I was determined to lure
Jacob out of his moodiness. "Well, I
never have seen business look 30 fair and
desirable, Jake-unless, I added, laugh
ing, "when I've caught glimpse of
you working afield in your old straw
hat"
"Ah, that's different story-a differ
ent story indeed was the grave reply.
"That's business of another sort,

was nothing to the crushing insolvency
of the West and South. The very post

large landed estates being unable to take
out their letters, because they could not
pay the postage in anything the govern
ment officers could properly receive"

Girl and Woman.

BY FANNIE B. ROBINSON.
"He will come, will come" she said;
And her breath was like the south,
And, the sun lay on her head,
And the morning round her mouth;
And she smiled across the sea
In her girlhood's surety.
"He will come in ship Of state,
Like conqueror to his own,
With bearing kiDgly, great,
That shall lean to me alone
Laying all his glory down
For my kingdom, sword and crown.
"And the sword ! shall restore
For the high deeds yet to be,
Since no life of knightly yore,
Vowed to rarest ministry,
With his prowess shall begin
Who has wifely arms to win.
"But the crown I'll fling afar,
Smiling soft to hear him say,
Love, there shineth star nor bar
Like your smiling on my way;
Leaves of bay would fall and fade
Where your ightest touch has staid."
"Other maidens may be fair;
He will whisper close and low,
That my loves beyond compare
With the beauty they bestow;
While because he stoops to me,
shall grow most fair to see."
So left her on the shore
When the dawn was growing day;
And the white ships, drifting DER,
Leaned and listened to her lay;
And the waves, to others dumb,
Laughed and whispered GO He will come"
So found her on the shore
When the harbor lights were dim
And the expectant curves Of yore
Something sweeter seemed to linn;
Still she waited loves surprise
With the youngness in her eyes.
Still she murnured: '.He will come:
Days and sails are drifting by;
Other ships go laden home,
Bright with golden argosy;
And the ship for which wait
Droppeth anchor soon or late.
"I shall know him, though be stands
With the slain years fronting him;
Though he reach untender hands
OF a warrior worn and grim;
Though the smile go to meet
Shine through tempest snd defeat.
"For the pillows will have brought
All their burden to his strength,
And the winds have fed his thought,
Till his kingdom stretch ct length
from the power and peace Of seas
To all loves and mysteries
"And because October holds
More Of spring-tilne than the spring,
Andsbecause all harvest folds
Both the bud and blossoming,
He shall 6nd my patience sweet
And ny unvowed filth complete"
So / left her on the shore,
Does he come? Ionly know
That the noon for evermcre
Draws the tides, and, swift or slow,
Bound, or barred, or flowing free,
Every river finds its sea.
