The Pleasures Of Business.

No human mind is contented without
occupation. No human soul is satisfied
without an aim or purpose in life. The
greatest success in life consists not in tho
mere accumulation of riches, but in be-
ing able to acquire wealth with a dispo-
sition to apply it in such a n that
it shall be a comfort and blessing to
Dthers-not in the nero giving away Of
money, but in putting people in a way.
10 labor and help themselves. There
i no pleasure in oppression. There is
no joy in grinding and exacting gold
from the poor; but there is a great deal
Of genuine satisfaction in being able to
offer steady and honorable employment
to the many willing hands that have
nothing to do. One of the greatest en-
joyments of the prosperous business man
consists in being able to comfortably
provide for the many employees in his
house or mandatory. In doing this
he is fulfilling his obligations to socie-
ty; he becomes a useful and honorcd
citizen; business to him is a real pleas
nre; he enjoys his successes, when they
are fairly won because he feels that he
deserves them.
When a business man has the right
kind of q purpose in life he enjoys his
occupation, he feels a just and worthy
pride in his prosperity, he is pleased
with the respectand gratitude Of those
whom he directs and controls in the
management of his affairs, and he feels
that in benefitting himself he is confer
Ing a favor upon Characterization.
A Criticism.
Henry Hazard calls Scheffcr ''that
great and sombre painter" and says he
| might have been an artist of the robust
| type, but while Cuyp, Boil, and Mass
dwelt in their own country, in vidid,
/ brightly tinted Holland. and summed
themselves In its scintillating light.
Scheffer went to another country, to see
| other sights, to become the interpreter
Of other Inspirations. An unfinished por-
trait, which belongs to the museum at
Dordrecht, shows us what he might
have been. Never was there a head
moro boldly drawn, more finely model
ed, more purely colored, painted with
| moro mastery breadth and freedom
Only Frans Halls could have equalled it
in vigor, life, and expression. 1t is be
| cause that head is all made of impress
sions and sensations, that it Is so power
| full and SO beautiful; it is because the
| painter had not time to finish it, to sub
stitute asickly Interpretation for his first
fresh and vivid inspiration, TO efface its
pristine vigor by touches which should
mako it haggard. pale, and meagre.
moro poetical in short. according to his
notions of poetry. lie had not leisure
for this once 10 produce idealism. and
SO he simply produced q true and line
painting. This beautiful and exception
