WHAT MAKES A MANI

Not numerous years, nor heightened life
Not pretty children and wife,
Not pins and chains, and fancy rings,
Nor any such like triumpery things;
Not pipe, cigar, nor bottled wine,
Nor liberty with kings TO dine;
Nor coat, nor boots, nor yet hat,
A dandy vest, or trim cravat;
Nor all the worlds wealth laid in store
Nor Mister, Reverend, Sir, nor Squire,
With titles that memory tire;
Not ancestry traced back 10 win,
Who went from Normandy 10 kill;
Not Latin, Greek, nor Hebrew lore,
Nor thousand volumes rumbled DER,
Not judges robe, nor mayors mace,
Nor crowns that deck the royal race
These, all, united, never can
Avail 10 make a single man.
A truthful soul, a loving mind,
Full of affections for its kind;
A helper Of the human race,
A soul of beauty and OF grace;
A spirit firm, erect and free,
That never basoly bends the knee:
That will not bear feathers weight
OF slavery's chain, foi small or great;
That truely speaks Of God within,
And never makes league with sin;
That stamps the letters despots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That trembles at no tyrants nod
A soul that fears no one but God,
And thus can smile, at curse and ban;
This is the soul that makes the man.

DOdging a Creditor.

The following good story is told
of a famous old Philadelphia mer.
chant, whom everybody knows, but
whom we call Dan Cornman. II
seems that on one occasion (not
that there was only one such oc.
casion in his life), Dan succeeded
in borrowing ten dollars from a
friend, which he promised to re.
turn the next day.
"Now Dan," said Mr.. H., who
was the hesitating lender, "can ]
count upon getting this money back
tomorrow, sure Z"
Tomorrow Mr.. H., il / am a
living man." said Dan. But to-
morrow came and went and neith-
er Dan nor the money made their
appearance. For weeks and months
the story goes, Dan kept shy OF
Mr.. H., lodging him in the street
and on all occasions when there
was danger of meeting, he per-
formed the most ingenious man.
evres, which, tiresome as they were
to Dan, became a source of great
merriment to his friends. Atlength,
one day as he was hastily turning
the corner at Third and Walnut,
Dan rushed squarely into the very
arms Of Mr.. II. He was in for il.
"Why, how do you do, my dear
H." said Dan making the best of
it, "fine day; how have you been !;
suppose you thought / never"
"You have the advantage of me,
sir" said Mr.. H., quietly, looking
at Dan sharply, betraying no sign
Of recognition.
"Whatl"
81 do not have the pleasure of
knowing you, sir"
"What, you do not know me I"
"No, SIR"
"Why, l am Dan Cornman
everybody knows Dan Cornman."
"You are mistaken, sir; Dan
Cornman is dead" said Mr.. II. In
solemn way. "He borrowed ten
iollars from me some time ago and
promised to return it the next day
I he was living. / haven't seen
he ten dollars, and ] never knew
i'm to tell lie In his life; so I
onclude he must be Dead

The Business Outlook.

: The Business Outlook.
Advice from the cast, particular
ly from New York, indicates thai
the business interests of the coun'
try, as compared with the outlook
year ago, at this times gives
promise of a better season than we
have experienced since the panic.
So many prophesies have been
made regarding the coming good
times and never realized that peo-
pie hesitate in accepting state
ments until they can see beyond
the shadows, but we believe there
are few intelligent persons who
note the tendencies of the times
that do not see the silver lining to
the cloud more plainly than before in
years. Reports gathered from the
business centers in those States
from Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
New Jersey, and New York in the
east, to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
and Missouri in the west; from
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, in the north, to Kentucky,
Tennessee and Louisiana in the
south all giving assurance of a
general renewal of business. Cor
respondents of the New York
Times have sought the views of
prominent men in every branch of
industry, and those who have COM
piled the statistics of trade, and
have also pursued their own
independent lines of investigation.
The unanimity of expression as to
the favorable outlook is the more
trustworthy because each inquirer
was pursuing his investigation en-
tirely unbiased and independent
of any other. There are a few
of trade that do not share
in the revival generally reported,
and even in these the inactivity is
ocal, or confined to a department .
Of the industry rather than general, :
Ind the feeling is cheerful rather {
han depressed. The capital is
eel1ing proper investment. Whole ,
ale dealers generally report an in a
'rease in the bulk of their sales {
angling from 10 to 30 per cent, Y
at low prices as compared b
With business of previous years. n
The small stocks which retail deal &
rs have bought during the past u
ear have become exhausted, and T.
hese merchants are buying more a
berally, and often upon shorter II
redit or for cash. This is the feel t.
lg east, and it is shared to a great C,
ytent here. The season for lumber il
g has been successful, and while d
me may raise the cry of glut W
the lumber market, all indica- cl
ons point to better demand and &C
ore active trade than during any d
'evious year, and these indica- m
ms arc based upon tangible con- ab
ions. The local trade for this on
ason of the year is good, houses TT
Q more difficult TO be obtained w;
an formerly, there are no desira- f.,
houses unoccupied, and the in W,
TRY for more is general, the small Sc
anufacturing industries are crowd Sc
to fill their orders and in word. M
e future is full of encouragement. %
