But there is another way. That young
merchant who found that be had miscalcu-

kind, and been flung Of the unusual season,
Is standing behind the counter. feeling
very blue and biting his finger nails. or
looking over his account books. which
read darker and worse every time he looks
at them. aud thinking how his young wife
will have to be put in palmer house than
she ever expected to live in. or go to a
third rate boarding house, where they have
tough liver and sour bread five mornings
out OF the seven.
An old merchant comes In and says:
"Weil, Joe, this has been a hard season
for young merchants, and this prolonged
cool weather has put many in the dol
drums. and have been thinking Of you
a good deal Of late. for Just after started
ia business l once got into the same scrape.

You have them. Be as economical as you
can, keep a stiR upper lip. and remember
that you have two friends. God and my.

The old merchant goes away and the
young man goes behind his desk, and the
tears roll down his cheeks. 1t is the first
time he has cried. Disaster made him mad
at everything, and mad at man and mad
at God. But this kindness melts him. and
the tears seem to relieve his brain, aud his
spirits rise from ten below zero to eighty

About three years after, this young mer.

and says: "Well. my old friend. was this

life of woman. One morning few year

, young woman in New York who's
pocketbook, containing thirty y-seven do
lars and thirty-three cents, had bee
stolen, and she had been left without
penny at the beginning OF winter In
strange city. and no work And althoug
she was a stranger, did not allow the
O'Clock mail to leave the lamppost on ou
corner without carrying the thirty-seve
dollars and thirty three cents, and the cas-
was proved genuine. =
