in ten, hasn't ~ dollar of it. left.
But she is wiser than she was. !.
Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spoffprd has
published ten books in the last
forty years, the proceeds Of which
amounted to about $4,000 each.
Onida has earned more money
than any woman of TIE century
with the exception of Nine. Patti.
Mrs. Southworth's noyels brought

the exception of Mrs. William n.
Vanderbilt, Mrs. Mary Ann Con.
nelly, who came to this country
forty odd years ago as q steerage
passenger, and who pulled basting
stitches for two years, has moro
money in her own right than any

penny of which she made with her
needle. She owns about ten cot
tages at Long Branch, facetiously
known as the party dreSses,o nc of

The most successful money-ma-
ker among modern women is Lydia

Credit and Reputation.

There is no lesson the young
business man needs to learn more
thoroughly than the value OF good
reputation and good credit. These
cannot be won and kept by false
pretenSes of any kind, but must lie
earned by strict observance OBJ
servance of contracts, agreements
and promises. The man whose
word is "as good as his bond" is
the man who has inspired conf
deuce in himself by always doing
that which he has promised to do.
He is also, as a. rule, cautious
about entering into obligations,
cbary about malSidg promises that
be may not be able TO fulfil. If too
prodlgal in the latter respect one
cannot hope to keep faith at all
times. A man who is or intends
to he honest sometimes loses cred.
I it and reputation simply because
lie is too hopeful. Counting with
too great confidence and uncertain
ties, he makes promises be cannot
fulfil because OF the failure OF the
eventon which they were predica-
ted.c He voluntarily fixes the date
for the payment Of u debt, and
finds too late something has gone
wrong, so that be canuOt meet his
obligation.
Such an accident may happen to
any man. Upon the way in which
he meets the unexpected trouble
depends how his reputation shall
stand afterwards. 1.-The can fulfil
his promise at any personal sacri-
fee he should do SO; failing thai he
should endeavor 10 keep his word
by borrowing elsewhere, thus gain

his obligation. But If he cannot

possible to his creditor and secure

him the state of affairs, thus re

promise The one essential thing
to do Is to keep good faith,or come

Household Hints.

Oil of lavender will drive away
flies.
Grain wood should be washed
with cold tea.
Two or three bananas, sliced in a
bowl of bread and milk, make de-
liciOus aud sufficient lunch.
Hcllebore sprinkled on the floor
at night destroys cockroaches.
They eat it and are poisoned.
Dram pipes and all places that

We should like for some of the peo-
pie who favor the suppression of base
ball on Sunday, to point out what
there is about base ball game that is
uncivil on Sunday any more than on
any other day. No one pretends that
the playing of gams of base ball is
uncivil i'll any sense. 1t cannot be
shown that it is in any way uncivil on
Sunday, and it is not because of any
inclyility IN it that they propose to
suppress it on Sunday. Nor is this
all; the playing Of base ball is not
even irreligious. 1t is true that men
who are not religious play base ball.
1t is equally true that men who ere
religious, and strictly so, can play
base ball and still be religious. Then
it is not because the playing of base
ball is either uncivil or lrreligious that
they propose to suppress it on Sunday;
it is solely because Sunday is held by
certain people to be a religious day,
and that it is to be devoted to relipi-
Gus exercises; and as the playing of
base ball is not religious exercise,
therefore it is not consistent with the
religious observance of day. Con-
sequently the only purpose of the en-.
actment and enforcement of Sunday
laws is to enforce the observance of it
as religious day. 1t is to compel
people who are not religious to pay
religious tribute to those who pretend
to be religious. But if the Govern.
ment is to do this in one thing when
1t is demanded, why not in everything
else as 1T may be demanded, and have
thorough going union of Church and
State at once. That will be the out.
come of national Sunday law.-Am.
