Plain Words on Business.

Samuel G.. Scott, in his address on
"Plain Talks to Young Men" in Asso-
citation Hall, Phila., recently, the FOL.
lowing are few of the particular apt
sentences
1.-The entrance into business is mo-
mentous event in the life Of youth.
"The applications for positions are
so numerous that man is compelled
to take, not what he chooses, but what
he can get."
"There are two things he should be
willing to do j: to work, and to make
small wages at first"
"Happy is the youth who intends to
succeed, who is ready to pick up the
loose ends of knowledge. ."
"What a temptation there is to mis-
represent in business /! How many lies
there are even in labels ~
81 tell you there is such a thing as
commercial morality"
"From the moment that man is
honest because it is the best policy, he
becomes dishonest" aa.-
"In speculations it is not the one
who puts up the money who wins In
the long run. 1t is the broker. Keer
away from the depositing of margins il
you would avoid misery"
"Don't aim to be rich. Aim to bt
right. Stick to that which is right
pure and honest. -
"Remember that you have no certain
lease on life, and make the most of the
time you have while you may"

Firmness Of Senator Wilson.

Senator Henry Wilson was self
controlled as well as q sclf-madc man.
lie left his New Hampshire home
early in life and changed his name, in
| order to get out from under the bale
full shadow Of intemperance. He be,
gan on the lowest round of the social
ladder, and climbed up rung by rung,
until he became q political power in
the nation.
The first step he took in the ascent
placed him on the pledge never to
drink intoxicating liquors. The Sec
ond step made him an industrious la-
borer, and the third o diligent reader.
He was sent to Washington to car
ry q petition against the admission of
Texas into the Union. John Quincy
Adams asked him to q dinner party,
where he met some of the great men
of the nation. He was asked to drink
wine. The temptation to lay aside
his temperance principles for mo-
ment, in order not to seem singular,
was strong one. But he resisted it
and declined the glass of wine. Mr..
Adams commended him for his ad-
herence to his convictions
After Mr.. Wilson was elected to the
United States Senate, he gave his
friends dinner at q noted Boston no.
tel. The table was set with not even
wine glass upon it.
Where are the wine glasses p ask
ed several, loud enough to remind their
host that some of his guests did not
like sitting down to wineless dinner.
Gentlemen, said Mr.. Wilson, ris-
ing aud speaking with good deal OF
feeling, you know my friendship for
you and my obligations to you. Great
as they re,they are not great enough
to make me forget the rock whence L
was hewn and the pit, whence | was
dug Some of you know how the
curse of intemperance overshadowed
my youth. That I might escape L
fled from my early surroundings and
also changed my name. For what L
am, am indebted, under God, to my
temperance VOW and my adherence to
it. Call for what you want to eat,
and if this hotel can provide it,it shall
be forthcoming. But wines and
liquors cannot come to this table with
my consent, because / will not spread
in the path of another the snare from
which | escaped.
Three rousing cheers showed the
brave Senator that men admired the
man who had the courage to live up
to his convictions.

Shakespeare Versus Hash.

boarder, referring to Shakespeare, "that
man has left his impress upon the
thoughts of the world, and his influence
will reach to the remotest prosterity.

Remarkable Presencs OF Mind.

There were half dozen old fellows
sitting on bench in public park
talking upon various subjects, and fin
ally they began to tell stories as to
wonderful fcats and presence of mind
they had witnessed. One old gentle
man told of the building of O. mill i'm
York State, where O number OF up
right posts had to be put in about six
feet of water, with the end resting on
the rocky bottom. In lowering one
of these posts, the end became entan-
gled in The coat tail of man i'm
boat, who was steadying it, and took
him to the bottom; but before he could
get untangled, he was pinned fast un-
der nearly six feet of water.
with wonderful presence of mind
said the story teller, 'he slipped out of
his coat and came up. His coat re-
mained under the post
A lean, ,lank-looking fellow had been
listening came up, saying:
That's remarkable incident, but
nothing to what / saw in Milwaukee
Bay about thirty years ago.
What was it Tell i exclaimed
all the party at once.
Il was out i'm boat with friend.
We had started out for q fish, and had
taken our guns along to shoot ducks,
ifany should happen along, which was
common thing in those days. Well,
we hadn't been there long before 1, in
some way, lost my powder-horn over
board, and it sunk in thirty feet of
water. There it lay on the bottom
in plain sight. My friend said he
would dive for it. / tried to persuade
him not to, but he was determined. /
noticed he didn't take off his powder
horn, and before / could call attention
to it he was i'm the water. 4 waited
about twenty minutes
Twenty minutes y they all exclaim-
ed
That's the exact time, my friends.
I held my watch in my hand, and
timed him. After twenty minutes /
began to get little nervous, and |
looked over the boat; and what do you
think L saw p
L suppose your friend laid on the
bottom of the lake drowned, ventured
one.
No; you are wrong. Here is where
he showed his presence of mind and
dirty, thieving disposition. There he
sat on the bottom of the lake, pour
ing. the powder out OF my horn into
his own and whistling. That's what
/ consider q remarkable incident of
mans presence of mind
No reply was made by any Of his
listeners, but each one quietly got up,
looking suspiciously at the story tell
er, and left him alone, master of the
situation

Mrs. Fennil was quite satisfied.

"And now The cage Is ready, wher
can claim the bird ?" Whispered
Theocratus, tenderly, to the widow,
while Miss Matilda sat at the further
end of the room, looking forlornly out
OF the window. "Why not right away
Tomorrow ?" persisted the anxious
suitor.
The widow looked modestly reluct.
ant, but finally allowed herself to be
persuaded, and the morrow was set for
the wedding-day, when suddenly the
hall.door was thrown open, and Nat
Norroway strode imperiously into the
room.
The widow uttered little scream,
and clung to the arm of her lover, who
looked as IL he had seen ghost.
Nat stared coldly at them for a mo-
ment.
$50 it is true, Slippery Bill" he said
at last. "And you have betrayed my
trust and stolen my promised wife. |
wish you joy of your price," he added,
contemptuously.
"What do you mean, Mr.. N0rro-

"This gentleman is Mr.. Theocrastus
Belleville. And what do you mean by
coming into his house in this way p''
"Mr. Theocrastus Belleville-and his
house ?" retorted Nat, ,contemptuously.
"This gentleman, as you call him, is

The widow dropped her suitor's arm,
and sank on velvet covered sofa in
strong Mysteries.
Miss Matilda rushed to her assist
ance, while the qua ndam Theocrastus
took advantage of the confusion and
stole ANONYMOUSLY away.
Under pretense of owning the huus g
himself, he had sought to marry the
widow, who was known to possess a
snug sum of money herself.

And she took the first opportunity
to speak 70 her sister -in-law on the sub
ject.

"Oh, Henrietta ~ cried Miss Matil-

Bang went the door. The widow
had fled to her own and, much dis

at her heart, Miss Matilda made the
simple preparations for her wedding.
There was a quiet ceremony that
