GOOD BUSINESS 3

Rare Almost as great ~poets-rarer, per.
haps, than veritable saints and martyrs
are consummate men of business. A man
TO be excellent in this way must not only
be ~variously gifted, but his gifts should be
nicely. proportioned TO one another. He
must have in high degree that virtue which
men have always found the least pleasant
Of virtres-prudence. His prudence, how.
eyer. viii not be merely Of a cautious and
quiescent Order, but that which, being ever
actively engaged, is moro ftly called dis.
erection than prudence. Such a man must
have an almost ignominious love o. details,
blended land this h n rnre combination
with : high power Of Imagination, ena.
bling him to look along extended lines Of
possible action, and put these details in
their right place. He requires q great
knowledge Of character. with that exquisite
tact which feels unerringly the right mo-
ment when to act. A discreet rapidity
must pervade an the movements Of his
thought and notion. He must be ~singularly
free from vanity, and Is generally found TO
be an enthusiast who has the art to conceal

were removed from st. paufs church yard
to what was then a wild. waste field in the
suburbs Of London These human remains
formed a large mouipl or hill Ia the midst
OF the field. hence the name = Bonehill in
the fields which in latter years came to
be "Bunhili Fields. I" the name still given
to the cemetery. The English Dissenters,
exciui-i from The gravevnrds Of the

The Ohio Scale Works, OF Cincinnati, have
just completed, and are now introducing to
the public, under the title OF the UNIVERSAL
FAMILY SCALE, an article that has always
been needed in every household; and, in
communication addressed to the publishers
OF this paper, the proprietors ask us to refer
them to some reliable party who viii represent
them in introducing it to the people OF this
county. 1t is seldom that a new article steps
so suddenly into universal favor. H0usekeep-
ers are loud i'll its praise, for it possesses the
merit of being always ready; there are no
weights to be hunted up and ADJUST is always
reliable-will not get out OF order-and is an
ornament to the kitchen. The description is
simply a base surmounted by hollow column,
in which works a spiral spring SO scientific
ally gagged and adjusted as to weigh anything
up to twelve pounds with perfect accuracy.
On the top OF the column is the platform on
which the articles to he weighed are placed.
BY the mere tn ming OF a screw the tare OF the
dish, plate, o. whatever you may use in weigh
ing, Is taken out and the net weight given.
Houseke spers see at once the value in wbeigh
ing SUGAR OF fruit, in making preserves or jel-
lies. Jr in testing the butchers or grocer's
weights, and the thousand and one eases that
occur where something that should be weigh
ed accurately is necessary. The Scales are
handsomely painted and bronzed, and are
sold at about one-third the price charged Tor
the inferior scales OF the same capacity. 1t
seems to us that nearly every family in this
county would want one, it is certainly rare
opportunity for some smart and energetic
party to pick up quite nice little income
during the next few months. The Company
has agents in no more favorable location who
are making IS. to So 90 perday, and there are
certainly several in this vicinity who can do
as well. We recommend such to address the
