THE YOUNG MAN IN BUSINESS

Edward Book, editor Of Ladies'
Home Journal, has the following very
sensible advice to give to young men:
esThe young man engaged in bust
ness to-day, in this country, has ad-
vantages exceeding those Of any gen
Grafton before him. He lives in a
country where every success is pos
sible; where man can make Of him
self just what he may choose; where
energy and enterprise are appreciat-
ed, and a market is always ready for
good wares. And he lives at time
when more opportunities are open to
him than at any other period in the
history Of our land. Young men have
forged to the front wonderfully during
the past ten years. Employers are
more than ever willing to intrust
great responsibilities on their shout
ders. Salaries are higher than ever;
young men never before earned the
incomes which are received by some
to day. All success is possible. But
and it's big word in this connec-
tion-he must RENE mber a few very
essential truths, and these are:
Above all things, before young
man attempts to make a success, he
should convince himself that he is in
a congenial business. Whether it be
trade or a profession = both are
honorable and productive let him
satisfy himself, above everything
else, that it enlists his personal inter
est. If man shows that he has his
work at heart his success can be relied
on. Personal interest in any work
will bring other things; but all the
other essentials combined can not
create personal interest. That must
exist first; then two thirds Of the bat
tie is won. Fully satisfied that he is
in the particular line of business in
which he feels stronger, warmer in
terest than in any other, then he
should remember:
First-That, whatever else he may
strive to be, he must, first of all, be
absolutely honest. From honorable
principles he can never swerve. A

temporary success is often possible or
what are not exactly dishonest, but

temporary, with certainty of per
manent loss. The surest business

worth the making, are built upon hon

"blinking" at the truth or at honesty
no half way compromise. There is
but one way to be successful, and that
is to be absolutely honest; and there

Second-He must be alert, alive to
every opportunity. He can not af-
ford to lose single point, for that
single point might prove the success.
Third-He must ever be willing to
learn, never overlooking the fact that
others have long ago forgotten what
he has still to learn. Firmness of de-
cision is an admirable trait in business.
The young man whose opinion can be
tossed from one side to the other is

Fourth-If he be wise he will GER

the actual good derived from it is not.

The way young man carries him
self in his private life ofttimes
means much to him in his business ca
reer. No matter where he is, or in
whose company-respect and
all that it implies, will always com
mand respect. And if any young
man wishes a set of rules even more
concise, here it is:
Get into business you like.
Devote yourself to it.
Be honest in everything.
Employ caution; think out thing
well before you enter upon it.
Sleep eight hours every night.
Do every thing that means keeping
in good health.
School yourself not TO worry; wor
ry kills, work doesn't.
Avoid liquors of all kinds.
If you must smoke, smoke moder- |
ately.
Shun discussion on two points-re |
igion and politics.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY AGAIN.

! The producers of maple sugar in
Vermont have not allowed the pro-
posed adjustment of the sugar boun-
ty to rutfle their feelings and they
| have been content to confine their ac-
| ton in the matter to the cOndemna-
| ton of the step in private converse
ton and through the medium of the
press, knowing that no remonstrance
that they might make would have the
least influence with our democatic
congress in securing the retention of
the bounty.
The sugar planters of the South
have not taken matters SO cOOlly,
however, and Judging from the char
acter and action of the meeting held
in New Orleans on Tuesday, the dem
ocratic majority in congress will be
likely to feel something drop unless
they give some heed to the wishes ex-
pressed. The meeting was held for
the purpose Of giving expression to
the views Of those who participated
in regard to the legislation of con-
gress concerning sugar, and it includ-
ed delegates from the Louisiana Sugar
exchange, the stock exchange, the bu-
reau of freight and transportation, the
wholesale grocers' association, the cot
ton exchange, the clearing house, the
board of trade, and the repre- senta-
tives of trunk lines Of railroads and
other business and commercial or
CARNATIONS. 1t was therefore thor
oughly representative in character,
and was by no means confined to the
Immediate producers Of sugar.
We have already called attention to
the manner in which the sugar plant
ers Of Louisiana and other states in
the South had invested in new appi-
ances for the production of sugar I'M
der the impulse given to the industry
by the bounty, and this was fully
brought out at the meeting in ques-
ton. It was shown that an immense
sum had been invested in the produc
ton of sugar by new and improved
methods of culture and manufacture
on the faith Of the bounty, and it was
held to be rank injustice on the part |
of the national government TO repu-
date it's part of the implied contract |
at this time.
The character of the resolution pass
ed at the meeting is significant. Those
present protested against the action
taken by the House Of Representa-
IT int Of no |
gar industry, not only because such
action would cripple that industry,
put also because such action would
also greatly injure the many other af-
Hated interests. They also appealed
10 the senate to prevent the accom-
olishment of a great wrong, by which
"A half million people would be
thrown out Of employment" and
$500, 900, 900 Of invested capital i'm
paired to a disastrous extent, or even
wiped out Of existence"
This is strong language but it is en-
,loyed by leading white representa-
ives of the South, SO that the demo-
cratic leaders at Washington will
hardly attempt to deny its truthful
less or question it's sincerity. Wheth-
n the democratic senators will listen
10 this appeal from the1South remains

hat they could do their political OPP
,onents no better service than to ig-
lore this combined protest and pray

THE WRECK OF THE KEARSAR GE.

It will be difficult, before full and
complete particulars are received, to
assign a probable cause for the wreck
Of the Nearsarge. Probably nothing
definite will be known until the pro-
ceedings Of the court of inquiry which
will undoubtedly be ordered, are
made public.
The inlet upon which she sunk, how
ever, Roncador key, is we'll known to
navigators of the Caribbean sea as a
most dangerous spot. Honduras and
Nicaragua form a peninsula around
which there is very shoal water for
long distance, extending, in fact, over
third of the way to Jamaica. On
this bank are numerous spots over
which a ship cannot pass in safety,
and many of these, as they are out of
sight of land, are not marked, and do
not show above the water, are con-
slant menace to ships coming on the
coast
Of the seward islets Roncador key
is one of the most prominent. 1t is
directly in the path Of a vessel trying
to make q Nicaraguan port from the
eastward, and navigators generally try
to sight it as they come on the bank,
thus verifying the reckoning. The
islet, however, is very small and
sandy, and rises but few feet above
the sea level, a severe storm proba-
bly, sending the waves clear over it.
At night it is quite possible, even in
moderately good weather, for ship
to get SO close to this reef without
seeing it as to render escape from the
breakers impossible. This fact is tes-
tilted to by the long list Of staunch
vessels that have come to grief there
on. The little key is entirely without
fresh water or food of any kind and
unfortunates wrecked there have to
depend upon what they may save
from the wreck until relief comes, SO
that immediate rescue is Of the ut
most Importance.
It is probable that the Kearsarge
was standing down the trades under
sail, expecting to pick up the key in
the morning, and that the currents,
which are very violent and eccentric
in those waters, helped her along
more than was anticipated. If such
were the case, she could very easily
get into position from which her
sails could not extricate her before
even the most alert and keen eyed
lookout could perceive the danger.
It is grievous thing to have this
old battle SCARED ship, produced by
New Hampshire industry and named
for the noble mountain which over
shadows our country, thus go down
to her grave amidst the treacherous
waters and coral reefs of that southern
sea. And yet perhaps it is a fitting
end to famous career, to perish in
the performance of Statesman.

In that bright and happy land,
We hope to meet our darling,
Never to part no more.
When we see our precious darling,
That we tender with such care
Taken from our loving bosom
How our aching hearts despair.
Round her little grave we linger
Till the setting sun Is low
Feeling all our hopes have persisted
With the flower we cherished so.
She shall sleep but not forever,
In the lone and silent grave:
Blessed be the Lord that taketh,
Blessed be the Lord that gave.
In that briCht eternal city,
Death can never, never come,
In His own good time He viii take us
To our rest, to home sweet home.
