The way to get credit Ia to be punctual.
The way to preserve it is not to use it too
much. Settle often; nave short accounts.
Trust to no mans -appearance--it is decep-
uve-perhaps assumed for the purpose of
obtaining credit. Beware Of gaudy exte-
rior. Rogucs usually dress well. The rich
are plain men. Trust him. il any one, who
carries but little on his back. Never trust
him who flies into u passion on being
dunned; make him pay quickly, II there be
any virtue in the law. Be satisfied, before
you give o credit, that those you give it to
are safe men to be trusted. Sell your goods
at o small advance, and never misrepresent
them, or those who you once deceive will
beware OF you the second time. Deal up
rightly with all men, and they will repose
confidence in you, and soon become your
permanent customers. Beware of him who
is an Office seeker. Men do not usually
want an Office for support. Trust no
stranger. Your goods are better than
doubtful charges. What is character worth,
IL You make 1t cheap, crediting all alike ?
Agree beforehand with every man about to
do a job, and if large, put it into writing.
II any decline then, quit--or DO cheated.
Though you want a job ever so much, make
all sure at the onset and in all cases at all
doubtful make sure of a guarantee. Be not
afraid to ask it; it is the best of response
oiity, for, il offence be taken, You have
escaped q loss.

The Bcssemer Steel Rail.

BEssEMER steel rails lave become n
necessity in railroad economy. and their
production has increased so rapidly in this
country that, whereas, a few years since, we
imported all that we used from England,
the manufacture of them here has now be-
come n recognized branch of our iron in
dustry. Representatives Of the principal
mills have been assembled in convention in
this city during the current week, for tho
purpose of regulating the trade and advanc-
ing prices. The result has been the forma-
zion of what is equivalent TO a manufactur-
ers' pool for controlling the market. As
we understand it there is to be no restric.
ton OF production, but each manufacturer
~ to contribute two dollars per ton to n pool
fund, which is to be divided equally among
all the parties interested in the Bessemer
process. 1t is evident from this that the
American manufacturers no longer stand in
fear of foreign competition, but consider
themselves able to manage the business here
as they see fit. Tho advance in price is
nearly ten dollars per ton, which amounts
70 twenty-five per cent on late contract
figures.

THE DEAD.LETTER OFFICE.

The dead-letter office. says II Washing
ton correspondent, is an interesting place to
visit not at all like II living-letter office, but u
room containing many tables at which sit
clerks examining. sorting and arranging the
piles of correspondence that have come to
naught. Some open the letters, which are
then passed to others for examination,
when those containing none are passed on
to clerks whose duty it is to make n mem
orandum of the contents. Then the whole
is freshly rc.cnclosed to return to the
sender and in case it doesn't find him, it
comes back to Washington. 1t is interesting
to note the contents of the moneyed letters.
Small pieces of silver and currency are
plentiful, and sometimes II bit of silver will
have II piece of currency wrapped around
it, so carefully The bank notes range all
the way from one to twenty, and perhaps

N u New L.gypuft, Mass, paper, then edited
by William Lloyd GRrrilsn. It was called

A bright story is told of the accomplish

When she was the admired Miss Groesbeck,
of Cincinnati, she was once at an evening
marty, when n fashionable young dandy
was asked if he would like to be presented
to her. "Oh yes said he, laughingly ;
.. trot her out" The lady overheard the
remark. and when he was presented she
adjusted her eyeglasses deliberately, and
slowly scanned his clothing from boot to
collar. The survey finished, she waved
her hand, and carelessly said, "Trot him
back; / have seen all there is of him."

American Writing Paper.

Every well wisher of this country cannot
help being gratified when he sees the in
dustries of the United States increasing in
extent and prosperity. Fer too many years
did we depend on European manufacturing
centres for indispensable articles that we
could have produced cheaper and better at
home If We had tried, because we had great
stores OF the raw material needed at u
doors. and by our skill and ingenuity in
continuing labor-saving machinery, were
enabled to compete with the poorly paid
labor Of foreign lands.
In no department OF our foreign iudus.
uias has greater progress been achieved
than in that of paper making Year Inv
year the quality Of the material has bee1
improved and the facilities for its nrodrc-
ton augmented. American consumers Of
paper were not slow to see the superiority
OF the article made ut home, and patron.
lied II Literally. Their appreciation was
rewarded by increased excellence of work
manship ON the part of the manufacturers.
until to-day the importation of writing
paper is practically at an end. There may
be a few odd lots brought over occasionally.
but TO all intents and purposes the Ameri.
cans to-day--thc people that write more
than any other one nation on earth--write
On American paper.

A Swiss Colony in the South. ~

A Swiss colony cettled on Cumberland
Mountain, Tennessee, in 1878. This colony,
which consists OF l15 families, making a
company of about 700 people, purchased
10, 600 acres Of mountain Ian at 81 per
acre, and now, although four years have
elapsed, each head of a family has a COM
Portable home, surrounded by NJ orchard
and garden, and decorated with n profu-
sion Of mountain flowers. There is a large
store that is managed for the colony, mem
bers Of which get goods from it at whole
sale cost tho colony hns its own school,
church, doctors, etc, and the members
their own candidates to govern the dis
tricts in which they live. The colonists
already nave diaries and cheese factories in
successful operation, and all their products
hnd ready sale and command fancy prices.
They have splendid heads of cattle, and
their barns are built as carefully as their
houses. There is also a colony of Swiss
near Greenville, s. c., about as large as the
Tennessee colony, and 1t is prospering finely.

Tho Keeley Motor.

The Kelley motor is now admitted, by
the scientists who nave been Investigating

have been spent on it. and yet the inventor
can never predict the result Of N attempt

longer &c generate the power than the latter
will keep the machinery in motion. The

and its force at times wrecks all the ma

time to speak. Close your mouth, shut
your teeth together firmly, and it will save
you many n useless and unavailing regret,
and many a bitter enemy. IL you happen
to feel q little cross-and who among US
does not at some time or other-do not
select that season for reproying your noisy
household flock. One word spoken in pas
sion will make n scar that summero of smiles

never tease your husband when he comes
home. weary from his days business. 1t is
not the right time. Do not ask him for
