easy, hut each one has burden to lift.
and some nG them have more than they

Mrs. Appleton. of Boston. the daugh-
Ser % Daniel Webster, was diving after
long illness. The great lawyer. after
pleading an important case in the
courtroom. on his way home stopped at
the house of his daughter and went
into her sickroom. She said to him:
Father. why are YOU out to-day in this
cold weather without an ovcrcoat ."
The great lawyer went into the next
room and was in Il flood of tears. say
ing: Diving herself, Yet thinking only
of ne" oh. how much more beautiful
is care for others than this everlasting
taking care Of ourselves. High UP in
the wall of the temple of Baalbcc there
are three stones, each weighing LOO
tons. They were lifted by style of
machinery that is now among the lost
arts. But in my text is the gospel ma
Chincry. Ivy which the vasler and hcav-
Ter tonnage of the worlds burdens is 20
he lifted from the crushed heart of the
human race. What YOU and most
need to learn is the spirit of helpful
ness.
Encourage the merchant. If he have
a superior style of goods, tell him so. If

business locality, il he have had great
success, if he have brilliant prospects
for the future. recognize all this. lie
not afraid that he will become arrogant
and pulled up by your approval. Before
night some shopgoing person will GENE
in and tell him that his prices are eNor-
bitant and that his goods are of an in
ferior quality aud that his show win
dow gave promise of far better things
than he found inside. Before the night
of the day IN which you say encourag-
ing words To that merchant there will
be some crank, male or female, who will
come into the store and depreciate
everythingauG haul down enough goods
from the shelves to fit out family for
a whole winter without buying cents
worth. II the merchant be a grocer,
there will be some one before night who
will come into his establishment and
taste of this and taste of that and taste
of every hing else, in that way stealing
all the profits Of anything that lie may
purchase-buving three apples while he
is eating one orange!
Before the night of the day when YOU
approve that merchant he will have n
bad debt which he will have io erase. 4
bad debt made 10y some one who has
moved away from the neighborhood
withou; giving any hint of the place of
destination. Before the night of the
Gay when you have uttered encourag-
ing words 10 the merchant there will he
some woman who will return Ia his
store and say she has lost her purse;
she left ii there in the store. she brought
it there, she did not take il away, she
knows it is there, leaving you to make
any delicate and complimentary infer
, ence that you wish 10 make. Before
night rha, merchant will hear that
some style of goods of which he has n
large supply is going out of fashion, and
there will be some one who will come
into the store and pay bill under pro-
test, say ing he has paid il before, but
the receipt has been lost. Now, encour-
age that merchant, not fearing that he
will become arrogant or puffed up, for
there will be before night enough I'M
pleasant things said TO keep him from
becoming apoplectic with plethora of
praise.
Encourage ewspaper men. If you
knew how many annoyances they have,

crate article is sometimes flung out be-
cause there is such great pressure on
| the columns and that an accurate re-
port of n speech is expected, although
| the utterance be so indistinct, the dis
course is one long stenographic guess,
| and that the midnight which finds you
asleep demands that they he awake, and
| that they are sometimes ground be-
| tween the wheels of our great brain
manufactures; sickencd at the often

in your mind what the nineteenth cen
