A Talk With Pupils.


S When q young man is employed in
a store or manufactory he thinks he is
fixed for life; but business becomes
slack and the employers feel that they
must economic. Then they ask
who can best be spased. 1t is then
that the ba nacles, the shifks. the
lazy, the ones who need watching have
TO pack up and go. When II young
man in place he should say, II will
so act Us TO be missed when / go.
Such are not dropped from the roil bg'
employers when business is dull. It
is 50 in a school. One leaves the
school and everybody misses Inns
another leaves and nobody rcn,eln-
bers il the next week. 1t is so in life.
One man dies and il seems as though
the world would stop; another dies
ana is baried and forgotten. II il iu
