JUST HOW IT IS.

When you grasp the hand OF fortune
And lightly step along,
The hours glide ON like the numbers
Of "a heart-cheering song.
Your pathway Is lined with faces
Where smiles and pleasure blend
All the world will offer service
When you don't need friend.
You may Sneer at fair discretion
When solid at the bank,
Your rudencsS Is mere pleasautrE
And quite the thing for rank.
Men will trust upon your favurs
And fawn and condesccnd.
TIL you wonder al your kingship
When You don't need a friend
They will shout your name in meeting.
And vote YOU into fame:
They will load your board with presents
OF bric-a-brac and game.
They will strain themselves in showing
What kindness they intend,
When sunshine floods your atmosuhen
And you don't neci friend.
But wait aud note how comicaI
This self-Same world can be.
When the sun throws not your shade
And your hopes go to sea.
You may have heard the cucumbe
Has arctic chills 20 lend
Well, the world drops under zero
When you do need a friend.

Necessary Precautions.

In order To guard against constant
larccnics, the wholesale dry goods houses
of the city have an ingenious system OF
checking, which Is in force alike for
every employc of the houses aud for
every patron and visitor who enters
their doors. Before a parcel can be car
ricd from the building il must first pass
into the hands Of private clerk, who
informs himself accurately as 20 its CON
tents and puts check mark upon the
wrapper il it is found 90 contain nothing
contraband. At the outer door the pack
age passes again into the hands Of door
keeper, who must see first that 10 has
been properly certified 90 by the clerk,
and second that the check is properly
cancelled before 10 leaves mis- hands, in
order that the wrapper may not be used
second time.
SO vigorously is this system enforced
that il a visitor enters any OF these cs-
adjustments with packaVc-no matter
how small--in his hand, he must give
the doorkocper the privilege Of remark
ing upon its outer wrapper, in his hero
glyphic way, that the package has been
brought into the building, and before the
visitor is permitted 20 take himself of
the doorkecpcr must be allowed 20 cancel
his remarks
Aud so with the employees, If one
wishes TO make parcel of supcrfuous
wrap or pair Of overshoes 20 carry out Of
the building, the clerk must be notified
Of his purpose, must examine the pack
age, Il must bear his private check and
then pass for cancellation into the hands
Of the doorkceper. And yet, with all
this precaution, the larcenies committed
annually arc said often 20 aggregate
thousands Of dollars. -Ne,o Yoyk Sun.
