Corps, one-half of the army. In the third
days fight at Gettysburg he was wounded,
and I was sent for. I found him lying on the
hill slope, under a tree, and facing the enemy.
There was deep, wide cash in his leg near
the groin. In the wound were wood splin-
ters and a tenpenny nail Gen. Hancock
was anxious to know what the enemy were
using in their shells. He thought he had
been wounded by splinters from one of the
enemy's Shells We put him in an ambu-
lance, and lay down beside him. Then we
drove through hot fire to my hospital:
Afterwards | discovered that a bullet had
penetrated his saddle, and then lodged in his
thigh, carrying with it the wood splinters and
the tenpenny nail.
"As he lay in the hospital in great pain, |,
at his dictation, wrote his first dispatch to
Gen. Meade announcing the victory won at
Gettysburg, adding to the dispatch that the
defeat would be turned into q rout. He was
calm, patient and heroic He was equally
entitled with Meade to the honor of the vic
tory at Gettysburg. and Meade would say SO
if he were alive. On the night of the second
days battle council Of war was held. 1t
was proposed to fall back and establish the
line of battle at Pipe Creek, but Hancock
opposed it. He argued that the army should
stay where it was, and he said the army of
the Potomac had made its last retreat and
should die on the line where the battle was
begun. Gen. Meade finally conceded with
Hancock, and the result was that that great
victory crippled the enemy so that they never
recovered from it, Hancock will be the next
President. Several of my Republican friends
have assured me they will vote for him. We
don't want any President who accepts bribes
or perjures himself, or who has even the
suspicion of taint about him. m.'-N. Y. Sun.

PREREQUISITES OF sUccEss.-Integrity Of
character and truth in the inner-man are the
prerequisites of success in any calling. These
are attributes which never fail to command
respect and win admiration. No one fails to
appreciate them, and if they "do not pay" in
the vulgar sense of the phrase, they bring an
amount of satisfaction and peace to the own.
er that all the wealth of Cresus could not
yield.
There is no better stock in trade than these
principles no capital goes so far or pays so
we'll, or is so exempt from bankruptcy and
loss. When known, they give credit and
confidence and in the hardest Of times will
honor your paper in bank. They give you
an unlimited capital to do business upon, and
everybody will endorse your paper and the
general faith of mankind will be your guar
anty that you will not fail. Let every young
man upon commencing business, look we'll to
these indispensable elements of success and
defend them as he would the apple of his eye.
If inattentive and reckless here, he will i'm
peril everything. Bankruptcy in character
is seldom repaired in an ordinary lifetime.
A man may suffer in reputation and recover
not 80 the man who suffers in character.
Be just and truthful. Let these be the
ruling and predominating principles of your
life and the reward will be certain, either in
the happiness they bring to your bosom, or
the success which will attend upon all your
business operations in life, or both.

COMPETITION IN BUSINESS.

An honorable rivalry in business is to be
commended, but dishonest methods to Sc.
cure patronage should merit prompt rebnke.
l. is natural that competition should exist,
but it does not follow that it should be OF
base character. To sell certain articles below
cost to bait the public, and then place extra
values on other merchandise to make up the.
difference, is an unfair method to establish.
1t is species Of deception, mean in principle
and disreputable in practice. It smackH Of
the mock auction plan, and is akin to the saw
dust swindle. 1t holds out to the unwary
the promise of great bargains, which is not
fulfilled if their purchases extend beyond the
few articles sold under value as an advertis.
ing dodge. If consumers would exercise a
little common sense, they would know that
merchant cannot thrive who processes to sell
his wares below their cost. If this is his
rule of business, it lasts but brief period.
A crash follows, and honest creditors are
svindled out of their money. 1t is well es.
iablished fact that the merchant who makes
a fair profit on every article he places on sale
can afford to sell his goods cheaper than one
who offers portion of his wares below cost
and then puts am additional profit on the re.
mainder. Selling articles at 10 per cent. be-
low their value, and, to equalize profits, placing
80 per cent. extra on others, is species Of
competition that is injurious to regular, trade
in any community. 1t is merchants duty
to realize reasonable advance on every ar
ticle he sells, as it is only in this way that he
can expect to succeed and pay his obligations.
This, Of course, does not apply to styles that
are. out of season or to stock on hand chat
may be more or less unstable, the distribu.
ton of which can only be made through con-
cessions from the regular prices.
The competition in the retail trade is more
active than in the wholesale, and the practice
of selling below cost is therefore more gener.
al. There is less excuse also for this course
to be pursued among jobbers, as they are
men trained to business, having long ekpe-
rience in mercantile affairs, and arc not ig.
norant of the sound methods Of dealing. An
open, fair competition is healthy, as it breaks
up monopolies and has the effect of placing
reasonable value on commodities. An hon
est, legitimate management Of business is the
only sure way to permanent success, and
money earned throug ii straightforward meth.
ods generally stays with its possessor.-U y.

THE SIN OF EXTRAVAGANCE.

Spurgeon's plain talk on ECONOMY and
Debt" ought to be pasted inside the hst Of
every spring householder: Living beyond
their income is the ruin of many of my neigh
bors they can hardly afford to keep rab-
bit, and must needs drive pony and chaise.
I am afraid extravaganza is the common dis
ease of the times, and many protesting Chris
tians have caught it, to their shame and sor.
row. Good cotton or stuff gowns are not good
enough nowadays girls must have silks and
satins, and then there's a bill at the dress.
makers as long as winters night and quite
as dismal. Show and style and smartness run
away with mans means, keep the family
Door and the fathers nose on the grindstone.
Frogs try to look as big as bulls and burst
themselves. He is both fool and krave
who has a shilling coming in and on the
strength of it spends pound which does not
belong to him. Cut your coat according to
your cloth is sound advice ',ut cutting other
peoples cloth by running into debt is as like
thieving as fourpence is like a groat. Debt.
ors can hardly help being liars, for they
promise to pay when they know they cannot,
and when they have made up lot Of false

as fast as horse can trot. Now, if owing
leads to lying, who shall say that it is not a
most evil thing. Of course there are excep-
tions, and I do not want to bear hard upon
an honest man who is brought down by sick
ness or heavy Losses but take the rule as
rule, and you will find debt to be great
dismal swamp, huge mud hole, dirty ditch ;
happy is the man who gets out Of it after once
tumbling in, but happiest Of all is he who
has been, by Gods goodness, kept out Of the
mire altogether. If you once ask the devil
to dinner, it will be hard to get him out Of
the house again. Better to have nothing to
do with him. Where hen has laid one egg
she is very likely to lay another; when
man is once in debt be is likely to get into
it again; better keep clear of it from the first.
He who gets in for penny will soon be in
for pound, and when man is over shoes
he is very liable to be over DO yts. Never
owe farthing and you will n'ver owe
guinea"
