A friend does not consider it loafing if he
stops to spend few hours in the front part

Often men who have business places OF
their own, will leave those places to spend
several hours with some kind friend, so
termed by themselves, but never considering
how much they cause him to lose from GUS
toners who come to the door and pass on,
because of so many loafers, and, more than
that. not once in ten thousand do these Loaf
ers buy where they loaf, and seldom, II ever,
will ladies enter n store where there is a
raft of men sitting around, like skillpots
around a pool on warm spring day. Often
they are boisterous, chewing tobacco, spit
ting and smoking, which is very unpleasant
to most ladies. People never think of loaf
ing in a lawyers or doctors office. They
transact their business in those places, if
they have any, and go their way rejoicing,
to impose on some kind friend who has
business place and is dependent upon the
patronage of the public for support, and
not upon few individuals as they suppose.

WonderfllI Sights In Nelr York.

The editor of the Gerardstolen Times re-
Gently visited New York We append
paragraph anent some things he saw
The other wonderful sight was the inn
mense mercantile establishment of Col
Chas. Broadway Rouss The transiorma-
ton of the Apple Pie Ridge farm lad into
the New York merchant prince would seem
10 be mere dream Of fancy. But proof OF
the fact is before us. in the iron and granite
building twelve stories high-the most
monument structure on Americas most bus
mess thoroughfare. Yet the lofty building
and the immense business carried on within
il is no more wonderful than the quiet little
man in gray who has built and controls 1t
all. Mr.. Rouss is not only the embodiment
Of an iron will. dauntess pluck and tireless
energy. but one of the most tender hearted
men we ever met. His heart is most easily
touched by any case of distress and his hand
ever open for its alienation. His boyhood
home and friends are warmly cherished
Fortune has not caused him to forget or ig-
more even the humbest of them. There IS
nothing like vanity or OsteutatiOn about him.
His life's record reads like romance. The
recital Of his struggles and triumPhs Is one
of absorbing interest, aud full of encourage
ment 10 all who would climb the ladder OF
fame aud fortune We regret that space
will not permit a description of his magnih-
cent shop" rs he calls it, and the perfect
system that marks all its manifold opera
tons.
Yet over all this scene of prosperous &C
tivity dark shadow rested. We missed
from his accustomed place one whose cor
dial greeting aud kindness had added much
to the pleasure of former visits. Poor, dear
Charley. how me missed him! His early
death brought sorrow to all. His hundreds
of EMPLOYEES each mourn the loss OF per-
sonal friend and tax of him with loving
respect. but to the fathers heart his depart
ure was Il stroke of untold bitterness and to
the business the loss of strong right arm.
His place cannot be reilled. Cut down in
the yigor of manhood and the opening OF
brilliant career his death was sad, Devil
uering. aud to human view an inscrutable
dispensation of Divine Providence. Such
event must have its lessons for US all. May
we learn them Alright!
