WISE WORDS.

In prosperity work is duty in
misfortune it is refuge.
Among intelligent people antipathies
are more irreconcilable than hates.
Properties can only be enjoyed by
them who fear not at all to lose them.
Many have genius, but, wanting art,
are forever dumb. The two must go
together to form the great poet, la inter-
or sculptor.
These two things. contradictory as
they may seem, must go together
manly dependence and manly indie
pendence, manly reliance and manly
self-reliance.
If thou art rich, then show the
greatness of thy fortune, or what is
better, the greatness of thy soul, in
the meekness of thy conversation /;
condescend to men of low estate, sup
port the distressed and patronize the
neglected. Be great.
Every man feels instinctively that
oil the beautiful sentiments in the
world weigh less than single lovely
action, and that, while tenderness of
feeling and susceptibility to generous
emotions are accidents of tempera-
ment, goodness is an achievement Of
the will and quality of life.
No mockery in this world sounds so
hollow as that of being told to cult
vate happiness. What does such adj
vice mean? Happiness is not po-
tato, to be planted in mold and titled.
Happiness is glory shining far down
upon us out of heaven. She is a
divine dew which the soul. on certain
of its summer mornings, feels gently
dropping upon it from the amaranth
bloom and golden fruitage of para
disc

/" Holding On.o

Three or four years ago farmer
living near Indianapolis who had
raised about forty bushels of corn to
sell, but who was not satisfied with
ruling prices, determined to hold on.
He nailed up his corn-crib and sat
down with determination to let the
country go to ruin unless buyers came
to his figures. To his great chagrin
and disappointment everything went
on as usual for several months, when
one day man from Chicago came
along.
whats corn worth?' asked the
farmer.
"Twenty-eight cents" was the
reply.
"Why, was offered thirty-five for
mine last fall I"
Eyes, but you see the corner broke a
few days ago, and 100000 bushels
were let loose on the market"
"Seven millyon bushels" gasped the
old man. "Well, 1 swan! Why, I've
kept forty bushels locked up here since
last fall, thinking l had the country
right by the nose, and now you tell me
that seven millyon bushels was let loose
in bunch Why, drat my buttons
I don't believe could have scarf any
body even if I'd held on to my three
barrels of pork and six bushels OF
beans beside p Wall Street Ne,Os.

A Good Grocery Clerk.

AS to what constitutes good sales
man in the grocery business, leading
New York wholesale dealer in grocer
les is quoted by a correspondent as
saying: Firstly, he should be bet
ter judge of quality than are his GUS
toners, and he should use his knowl-
edge honestly. He should always
recommend goods that he knows to be
of full value, and yet not overpraise
them. Above all, if he is in the whole
sale trade, he should not urge upon his
customers more than convenient
stock. Drummers on the road are apt
to make that mistake, and thereby
tempt the retailer to buy more than he
will be able to pay for. A clerk in a
retail store has an advantage if he pos
sesses some knowledge of cookery, Sc
that he can tell how articles may be
best prepared for the table. Hints OF
this kind are valuable even to expert
enced housekeepers, especially as to
new goods. Such man acquires in
huence. But he mustn't be imperti.
nent or Obtrusive with his advice
Polite attention is the one thing need
full in a salesman, and young men
shouldn't forget it if they mean to sue
coed behind the counter
