business Maxims.

A prominent merchants has compil,
ed the following maxIms from his own
inquiry and experience:
1. Choose the kind of business you
understand.
2. Capital is positively required in
business, even if you have real estate
outside aud credit ever so good.
5. One kind of business Is as much
as q man can manage successfully,
Investments on the outside do not gem
orally pay, especially il you require
the money in your business.
4. Buy cautiously and just what you
want, and do not be persuaded to pur-
chase what you do not need; IL you do,
you will soon want what you can't
buy.
D. Insure your stock: insure your
store; insure your dwelling,if you have
one. If the rate Is high it is only be-
cause the risk is great, and of course
you should not take the risk yourself.
A business that will not pay for insur-
ing will not justify running.
6. Sell to good responsible parties
only. Sell on q specified time, and
when your money is due demand il;
do not let the account stand without
note or interest for an indefinite
period.
Z. Sell at reasonable profit and
never misrepresent to effect q sale.
s. Live within your income; keep
your business to yourself; have pa
thence, and you will succeed.
8. Competition is the life of trade,
but in trying to run your competitor
out Of business, be careful you do NOT
run yourself out.

where he was RECALLED with many a
dainty bit, for which we made him per-
form, thus paying his way. A day or
two later he was missing at home, and,
as we ascertained afterward, made his
way to the basement outer door-of
this house and scratched to get in. The
servant admitted him; he stood and
looked at her and cried. She took no
notice; then he rolled over and waited
He went through various tricks. wait
ing after eacn to be fed, but meeting
with no success, and feeling that his
repertoire was exhausted, he paused,
seemed much discouraged, when sud
denly happy thought struck him-he
found an empty corner and stood up in
it, and then walked part way across the
room. He had played his trump card
and the game was his. He was toasted
to his hearts content. From that time
for months, until his little life ended,
he made visit there by himself every
two or three days, and was always well
coined and treated with the greatest,
consideration.
He loved his friends, and when any
member of the family returned after an
absence of perhaps only few days, he
was not contented until he had kissed
them on The face. and would get on a
chair or table, if they were standing
near in order to do so.
He was told one evening to 90 to q
certain room and bring down a pair of
slippers; he went, after fully under
standing what was wanted, and brought
down first one and the other, and was
wild with excitement at having done so
much. He could be sent for brush,
his collar, ball, blanket, cushion, etc,
hunting until he found them, rarely
making a mistake in the article.
During his last illness of four days he
was patient little sufferer, wanted to
be near his friends, his human friends
to whom he looked for aid, allowing
himself to be persuaded to take the
medicine and suffer the treatment which
was prescribed for him; refusing at first,
then listening, as a child would. to en-
treaties and taking it quietly when told
it would make him better.
And although we put him in his grave
sixteen months ago, there are many
sincere mourners for him; such as many
human being would like to feel as
sured of leaving behind on leaving the
world.
We could prolongthis story indefinite.

The Foolish and the Wise Cow.

The foolish COW frisketh with her tail
and cheweth her cud and goeth forth
with Joy to browse in the thicket the
whole day long.
But the wise COW knoweth that quail
shooting hath begun, and she harken-
eth unto the voice of wisdom, which
saith, Lo the hunter is come aAon, girt
about with the shot pouch and the pow
der horn, and in his hand he carrieth q
weapon, the barrel of which be doubled.
And he goeth about seeking the birds
that do run upon the ground with ex-
ceeding swiftness, that he may ensnare
them and Stay them with the weapon,
and devour them, even upon toast.
And the weapon goeth bang and We
heareth the sound thereof, and We
smelleth the powder, but We knoweth
not, nor doth any man knoweUh where
unto the discharge appertaineth.
For it tlyeth with haste into the
thicket and into the region located
thereby, even into the whole territory
thereto adjacent.
And it falleth upon the COW, and it
smiteth her sore, so that she lifteth up
her tail and tiyeth, being sorely and
grievously displeased
But the bird escapeth the wrath, and
from rail in a remote corner of the
land laugheth the hunter to scorn.
Therefore has the wise COW said in
her heart, | will lay me down in the
home pasture and will not go into the
thicket; nay, not for the hunter or any
udder man. - Trenton Gazette.

Influence of Newspapers.

A school-teacher, who had been en-
gagged long time in his profession, and
witnessed the influence of a newspaper
upon the minds of family and children,
writes as follows: Il have found it to
be a universal fact without exception,
that scholars of both sexes and all ages,
who have access to newspapers at home
when compared with those who have
not, are:
l. Better readers, excellent in pro-
nunciation, and consequently read more
understandingly.
2. They are better spoilers and define
words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowled re
of geography in about half the time It
requires of others, as the newspapers
have made them acquainted with the
location of important places, of nations,
their government and doings on the
globe.
4. They are better grammarians for
having become so familiar with every
variety of style in the newspaper, from
the contemplated advertisement to
the finished and classical Grafton of the
statesman, they more readily compre-
bend the meaning of the text, and con-
stantly analyze its construction with ac-
curacy.
5. Those young men who have for
years been readers of newspapers are
always taking the lead in debating So
cieties, exhibiting a more extensive
knowledge, a greater variety of sub
jects, and expressing their views with
greater fuency, clearness and correct

Remarkable Echoes.

In the sepulcher of Mettella, the wife
of Sulla, in the Roman Campagna, there
is an echo which repeats five times, in
five different keys, and will also give
back with distinctness heXameter line
which requires two and a half seconds
to utter it. On the banks of the Nhaa,
between Bingen and Coblentz, an echo
repeats seventeen times. The speaker
may scarcely be heard, and vet the re-
sponses are loud and distinct, some
times appearing to approach, at other
times to come from a great distance.
Echoes equally beautiful and romantic
are to be heard in our own islands. In
the cemetery of the Abercorn family,
at Paisley, Scotland, when the door of
the chapel is shut, the reverberations
are equal to the sound of thunder. If
single note of music is breathed, the
tone ascends gradually with amultitude
of echoes, till it dies in soft and be-
witching murmurs. In this chapel is
inferred Margery, the daughter of Bruce,
and the wife of William Wallace. The
echo at the Eagles Nest, on the banks
of Killarney Qreland), is renowned for
its effective repetition of bugle call,
which seems to berepeated by a hundred
instruments, until it gradually dies
away in the air. At the report of a
cannon the loudest thunders reverber-
ate from the rock, and die in seemingly
endless peals along the distant mount
aims. At the Castle of Simonetta, a
nobleman's seat about two miles from
Milan (ltaly), a surprising echo is pro-
duced between the two wings of the
building. The report of pistol is re-
peated by this echo sixty times; and
Addison, who visited the place on a
somewhat foggy day, when the air was
unfavorable to the experiment, counted
fifty-six repetitions. Al first they were
very quick, but the intervals were
greater in proportion as the sound de-
cayed. 1t is asserted that the sound of
one musical instrument in this place re-
sembles great number of instruments
playing in concert. This echo is occa-
stoned by the existence of two parallel
walls of considerable length, between
which the wave of sound is reverberated
from one to the other until it is entire
ly spent.
