TIE SOUL OF BUSINESS.
Rev. Robert Cstlyer - the elaffsas o
Private Virtue - Pabllc Credit.

''The Lord God il . shield, was the
text that the Rev. Robert Collyer Sc
lected for his Sunday sermon. After
speaking Of the absolute necessity Of
mans keeping constantly before him in
all transaction of life the knowledge and
the fear Of the Lord, Mr.. Collyer said,
if I am a merchant, may fairly try TO
make my calling gainful. but must al
SO make it noble or I shall fall short OF
the mark and prize of my high calling,
and if I have to give my business to my
SONS when l get tired of it OF, die, I
should take at least as much pains to
form and mould and inspire them for all
noble and true adventures as l do to de-
! velop my business before / give it over.
must remember that not all my creed,
nor even my paternoster, but that public
credit is the soul OF business in good
times and bad times alike. Imust also
remember that this credit taken alto
gether, as the wise old German says, is
sacred deposit which should never be
touched by rude and ruthless hands, and
whoever brings it into peril wilfully and
with his eyes open, and for his OWL
private gain, is worse than the man who
breaks into your store or cracks, you,
safe. The virtue of q man of business
should bear the same relations to hi
good name as the things he sells do Il
the coin or paper he takes In exchange
for his wares.
Mere greed of gain only makes mar
sharp sighted to his own interest with
out thinking Of the consequence to hi
fellow citizens or to the Commonwealth
to which he belongs, until at last, as I
quaint old writer says, he swallows, al

bones wherewith he may be choked
To such man nothingybut his own los
is of any moment and the profits of
single year are more to him than tn
gain of whole century to the worl'
about him. A man, no matter what hi
name or profession may be, has take
the first step downward in the corruI

"Oh, how 1 wish my husband could

"Ah! |" responded Gus; II expect you

Its not that, but if he sung like you,

Bennett the Elder.

Ben. Perley Poore in his "reminiscences
says:
James Gordon Bennett in 1898, when
in his thirtieth year, became the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Enquirer, which was then on the top
most round OF the journalistic ladder.
It is related of him that during his stay
in this position he came across copy OF
"Walpole's Letters" and resolved to try
the effect of a few letters in q similar
strain. The truth of this is doubtful. 1t
is more probable that the natural talents
OF the man were now unfettered, and he
wrote without fear of censorship, and
with all the ease which a sense of free
dom inspires. he was naturally witty,
sarcastic and sensible. These letters,
however originated, were undoubtedly a
great hit. They were lively, they
abounded in personal allusions and they
described freely not only Senators, but
the wives and daughters of Senators
This sort Of thing was q novelty then ;
the descriptions OF toilets, the cravats OF
the President and the hunting saddle OF
his niece tickled not only the fools, but
also wiser people, who liked the sensa-
tion. These same letters established
Mr.. BENEFITS reputation as light lance
among the hosts Of writer's, and he found
a ready sale for the poetry and the love
stories which flowed from his pen dur
ing his leisure hours.
