WHEN A MAN ACTS D1sHoNEsTLY.-.A
man violates the laws of honor when he
takes advantage of another's unskillfulness
or inexperience, or the technicalities OF the
law to impose on him. A man acts dishon-
orably when he does not make sacrifices to
pay his debts promptly; when he attempts
to raise the market price on another buyer !;
when he sells below the market price to get
away his neighbor's customers; when ne IS
allow his clerks and dependents to share in
his prosperity, and in all cases when he
does acts which if thoroughly understood,
would tend to lower him in the estimation
of his customers or of any good man.-Dry

AQUEER CHARAcTER.-N.D D. Monroe,
famliarly known as "Wild Neill," lived
with an only sister in the woods about fif-
teen miles from Fayetteville, N. g.. Before
the war he was a man of property, but lost
it in the conflict. Heserved throughout the
war, and returning found his home in ruins,
and then retired to the retreat where he
has lived for the last twenty years, taking
with him his only sister. There he built
two little huts about ten feet square and
about 100 yards apart. From that day
brother and sister never spoke to each 9th
er. Neill lived By hunting and gathering
roots. He would always leave part of his
game at his sisters door. One morning, ne
went over and spoke to his sister for the
first and last time. He then returned to
his own cabin, took leather strap and tied
it round his neck and to a rafter and then
Jumped off. He was found dead.
