Ohm WANAMAKER.
West of Arcade, 1913 Chestnut: sixth ard
seventh counters.
We promised to tell some
thing of general interest
about the carpet trade. This
isit.
One OF the most highly
esteemed makers of brussels
carpet weaves the name
BIGELOW into the back of
his carpets, SO that his car
pets may have the full bene-
fit of his good name. An
other maker, thinking that a
good notion, awhile ago put
his name on the back of his
carpets but the trade
wouldn't buy his carpets with
his name on the back ; and
now he leaves the name off.
That's the whole of it. And
what does it mean ? 1t
means ---- -- but first,
let us say that the scandal we
are about to expose relates
to possibly nine out of ten
dealers in carpets; but that
there are merchants who
would scorn to sell one make
and deliver another. Cnfor-
tunately the personal moral
standards Of men in general
are 50 far short Of high and
true, that merchants in gen
eral must be expected to
cheat whenever they can.
And indeed the prevailing
standards of mercantile in
tcsrity require that a mer-
chant shallpaywhat he agrees
to pay, when he agrees to
pay it; but they do not re-
quire him to be very exact
about anything else; they
allow him to lie about goods,
or at least to hire others to
lie for him ; and the shrewder
he is in managing SO that his
lies are not found out by his
customers, the better mer-
chant he is. No matter if
everybody in his line of bust
ness sees through his trickery,
il the public don't find it out,
he is a model merchant &C
cording to the prevalent mer-
camille standards.
Really good lying is the best
means Of selling goods; just as a
good novel is more winning than
history. The salesman who sells
most in day is apt to be the one
who tells every customer string
of lies so pleasantly and so con-
SisJently as never to be doubted.
The merchant who sells most is
apt to be the one who gets the
most really good lying out of his
statesmen. But really good liars
are so scarce. that Il general pol
icy of lying is dangerous. OF
course. there being no other mer-
camille objection to lying than
the danger of it, lying is plenty.
1t is the rule OF trade. And yet
we are careful to say that there
are merchants who do not en-
courage it, who try TO hinder it,
who try to manage their business
rs so as to make truth possible in
every transaction, who positively
set some sort of premium on
truth and some sort Of penalty i
on lying. That is about as much
as anybody can do. Wearc care
full to say that there are merchants
who apply just as strict tests to
moral questions that come up in
heir businesses as they apply to
he behavior of their sons and
daughters ; and that it is safe to
,rale in their stores.

INGERSOLL'S REFLECTION ON
DEATH.

The following lines are exact, TAX
en- from a letter recently written by
Colonel Ingersoll from Long Branch
to personal friend who had suffered
a bereavement in the death of his
mother:
'sAfter all there is something ten
derly appropriate in the serene death
of the old. Nothing is more touch
ing than the death of the young, the
strong. But when the duties of life
have all been nobly done-when the
sun touches the horizon-when the
purple twilight falls upon the pres
ent, the past and future-when mem
ory with dim eyes can scarcely spell
the records of the vanished days
then, surrounded by kindred and by
friends, death comes like a strain of
music. The day has been long the
road weary, and we gladly stop at
the inn.
Life is a shadowy, strange and
winding road on which we traye. for
little way-a few short steps, just
from the cradle with its lullaby of
love to the low and quiet wayside inn
where all at last must sleep and
where the only salutation is Good
night
Nearly forty-eight years ago under
the snow in the little town of Cazen-
ovia, my poor mother was buried. l
was but two years old. 1 remember
her as she looked in death. That
sweet, cold face has kept my heart
warm through all the years.
GENIAL FRIENDS Friends, wheth-
er pretended or real, are all disposed
to look pleasant and smiling when
anything occurs to please them. And
it is often difficult to judge between
friends that are real and those who
are pretended. Just as counterfeit
notes are sometimes difficult to de-
tect, so 1t is frequently hard to look
clean through an enemy when he
comes disguised as friend. There
are frauds and cheats in every thing.
You can scarcely eat OF drink now
without running the risk of being
poisoned. Men who make the loud
est pretentions are generally the least
reliable. There are lagos in the COM
munity everywhere.-Look out for
them. They are generally constitu-
tionally wicked, malignant, and very
depraved. The man who hurrahs the
loudest for you is often laying trap
to catch you, and is hurrahing for
some person else. There is a creased
goose behind the curtain, and its qui-
ct kissing is just as perceptible to
discerning man as is the loud bray
ing of an ass. Be on your guard
against such genial friends.

THE WHISPERING WINDS.

Oh, what are the wild winds saying,
Whirling so heedlessly on,
The green boughs gracefully swaying,
And stopping to whisper anon?
Te me they tell wonderful stories,
Strange stories of the olden time;
They whisper the loveliest poems,
And chant in the dreamiest rhyme.
Oh, what are the sad winds saying,
Signing through quivering trees,
Moaning like lost spirits praying,
And sobbing out every breeze?
The wall of fair life wasted,
Of longing that blindly gropes;
They chant a sad requiem over
The graves of our buried hopes.
Oh, what are the glad winds saying,
Laughing through forest and glade,
Singing and dancing and playing
In the sunlight and leafy shade?
They sing over old-time melodies,
They whisper future fair,
And they carve out the loveliest pictures
For the castles build in the air.
Oh, the winds are blithsome and CHEEKY,
When the world looks bright and fair,
And they whisper in tones so dreary
When my heart is burdened with care.
One moment mournfully signing,
Then whirling away free and glad;
They laugh with me when I'm happy,
And weep with me when I'm sad.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking of persons faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw stone;
If we have nothing else to do
Than talk of those who sin,
'Tis better to commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried:
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has not
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan,
And find it works full well;
To try my own defects to cure
Ere Others faults 1 tell
And though 1 sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let US all, when we begin
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember-curses, sometimes, like
Our chickens-"roost at home;''
Don't speak of others faults, until
We have none of our own.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

This is glorious weather for the crops of 1884.
bright warm days and occasional showers of rain.
especially during the night. One can almost see
the cane growing in the fields, and judging from
appearances the yield for 1884 in this district
should be at least fifty per cent. more than that of
the present year. For the last few days very
strong tradewinds have been blowing incessantly
day and night, but, though at present strong, the
wind now shows signs OF moderating.
A sale by auction of the household goods and
effects, etc, Of Ahoi & Co., late storekeepers in
the district, by order of the sheriff took place
on Saturday morning last. 4 mortgage has be-
come anxious as to his interest in the business, so
that Messrs. Ahoi d Co. are sold ont. We still
have three stores left.
1 think that if a dentist paid a visit TO HonOkaa
he would more than pay his expenses. l have
heard several persons express their intention of
going the whole animal for an entire new set, and
there are many others, ladies especially, who are
anxious to undergo the agonies of stufiing, scraping
and refilling. The local blacksmith at present
extracts teeth which, if he is unable to draw, he
can manage 20 force out by hammering and crush
ing.
A good opportunity Of comparing the merits OF
Germans with Portuguese and Chinese as laborers
will soon be furnished here, as Mr.. Overend,
through Messrs. Hackfeld & Co, is engaging about
twenty Germans.s Various opinions are expressed
as to their relative advantages, but 1 am person
ally in favor Of the Germans as being more quiet,
honest and especially clean. The working powers
of each Will be shown by contrast, bat the dirt Of
the Portuguese can hardly be surpassed.
