wings of lost souls fit among the lights,
and the steps Of the carousers sound
with the Tumbling thunders OF the
damned. Farewell to all the sanetities
of homel Could mother, sister, father,
slumbering in the inland home, in some
vision OF that night catch a glimpse OF
the ruin wrought they would rend out
. their hair by the roots and bite the
tongue till the blood spurted, shrieking
out: God save himl"
What, suppose you, will come upon
such business establishments? and there
are hundreds of them in the cities. They
may boast of fabulous sales, and they
may have an unprecedented run OF
buyers, and the name Of the house may
be terror to all rivals, and from this
thrifty root there may spring up branch
houses in other cities, and all the part
ners of the firm may move into their
mansions and drive their full-blooded
span, and the families may sweep the
street with the most elegant apparel
that human art ever wove or earthly
magnifcence ever achieved. But cnrse
is gathering somewhere for those men,
and if it does not seize hold of the pill
lars and in one wild ruin bring down
the temple of commercial glory, it will
break up their peace, and they will
tremble with sickness and bloat with
designations, and, pushed to the preci-
pice of this life, they will try to hold
back and cry for help, but no help will
come; and they will clutch their goIdto
take it along with them, but it will be
snatched from their grasp, and voice
will sound through their soul, "Not q
oxfh A.
the judgment will come and they will
stand aghast before it, and all the busi-
ness iniquities of lifetime will gather
around them, saying, DO you remember
this?" and. do you remember that2"
And clerks that they compelled to dis
honesty, and runners and darymen and
bookkeepers who saw behind the scenes,
will bear testimony to their nefarious
deeds, and some virtuous soul that once
stood aghast at the splendor and power
of these business men will say, @AIas!
this is all that is left of that great firm
that occupied block with their mer-
chandise and oyershadowed the city with
their influence, and made righteousness
and truth and purity fall under the gall
ing fire of avarice and crime"
While we admire and approve of all
acuteness and tact in the sale of goods,
We must condemn any process by which
a fabric or product is represented as
possessing value which it really does
not have. Nothing but sheer falsehood
can represent as perfection boots that
rip, silks that speedily lose their luster,
calicoes that Immediately wash out,
stoves that crack under the first hot fire,
books insuficiently bound. carpets that
