The Difference i'm Men.

One man has every thing that is necessary to
success in business; he has capital at his com
mand, influential friends, wealthy relatives
ever ready TO endorse his paper,-perhaps
steps into an established bushes, and yet in a
short time he fails. Another has none of these
advantages end yet in short time builds up a
large and extensive establishment One OF
these latter individuals is our enterprising
merchant, j. NJ. Emerson. When asked by ms
TO what he attributed his success in business he
replied, that 10 was by fair and impartial deal
ing in all his business transactions; by advertis
ing and giving the public just what he adVer-
ttSed, and by not asking too much for any arti-
Gle in his stOck,also by giving the customer any
advantage he might, by careful buying for
spot cash. In other words should little child
step in TO buy he would deal as fairly as
though the highest and loftiest person were
purchasing.
No doubt Mr.. Emersons views are correct.

'"TALK1NG QUAKER. Ut is no easy mat ter, says an exchange, for novice to talk "Quaker" fluently. The tongue becomes confused with it's triple choice of pronouns and flaps listlessly around the palate.
 I we'll recolect my clumsy efforts to en- gage ill conversation with a farmer whom met Chester county, the Quaker strong hold of Pennsylvania. When I happened upon him he was sitting upon worm fence, vacantly staring at a cream -colored colt in the adjacent field. at once divin- ed him to be Friend in undress, and de- termined to delight the old fellow and amuse myself by carrying on skillful di- alogue in his own idiom. This is how I succeeded
 "How do thee do, sir? Is-that is, are thee meditating ?" ..
 If he was delighted, he controlled his emotions admirably. All he did was to gape and inquire :,
 "Hey ?''
 "The fields, the birds, the flowers, I pleasantly pursued, ''are enough to bring thou dreams-I mean, dreams to thou"
 He was looking at me now, and critical ly. I felt that my syntax had been very idiotc, instead of idiomatic, so, wiping the sweat from my brow and hat, eyed him calmly, and observed: "Those COWS, are they thys-or thees- that is, thous I mean thines ?''
 It was very fortunate He crawled down from the fence, nibbled at plug of nickel nugget-an act of itself sufficient to un- quaker him-and, as he rambled away, muttered indignantly
 "Go ate your pants I'm tramp, but gentleman.
