A Happy Selection.
The selection by the president and

IS tine RIGHT PRINCIPLE?

A travelling fakir did a land office
business on the State bank corner
Saturday selling cheap shoestrings,
lead pencils and similar small articles.
His method was to attract Il large
crowd by means of some unique adver.
Using scheme, and to keep them there
by n rapid. fire of lively oratory, intro
ducine stories and jokes; and of course
where there is a crowd there Is bust
ness, 40 the fskir reaped a bountiful
harvest of golden shekels.
Now, we do not condemn the travel
ing peddler for doing what was proba.
bly, at least An honest, If not, rs some
people might think, an elevating bust
ness, and as much of 1t as possible.
II is his way of making a living. But
we do wish to S this little incident
AS text for a short sermon on home
trade.
In the first place, the peddler proba-
bly, did not charge AN extortionate
price for the goods that he sold. The
profits that he made, while probably
easily enough to repay him richly for
the time and labor expended, were
not u fortune. But can you not see,
that with his necessarily large expense
account, his selling prices would have
to be much higher than the cost prices
of the goods, in order to admit of any
profit at all; and it is hardly reason
able to suppose that he is in the bust
ness for pleasure, or for his health.
Suppose his license and the privilege
of selling his wares upon the streets
costs him two dollars. We do not
know what he paid for his license,
but grant that for the sake of the
argument. Suppose his board and
lodging costs him two dollars a day
Add two dollars for his travelling ex.
penses to the next town, and a dollar
for incidental expenses. There is sew
en- dollars that he must clear from
his sales before he can Call any of his
receipts profit. We do not know how
near correct these figures are, but they
will at least make the idea plain
Point out, if you can, a merchant in
your own town whose regular daily
expenses amount to seven dollars a
day, outside of the cost of his stock
and then reflect that there is probably
not one Of them but does more
business in a day than does this travel
