Good Counsel.

No young man can hope to rise In
society, or perform wOrthily Ills part
in life, without a fair moral character.
The basis OF such a character lisa vir-
I uouS, fixed sense of moral obligation,
sustained and invigorated by the fear
and love of God. The youth who pos
sesses such a character a be trusted.
Integrity, justice, benevolence, truth.
are not with him words without mean
ing: he feels and knows their sacred
import and aims in the tenor OF his
life to exemplify the virtues they ex-
press. Such a man has decision OF
charactar; he knows what is right and
is firm in pursuing it; he thinks and
acts for himself. and is not to be made
the tool OF unprincipled and time
serving politicians to do the dirty
work OF party. Such a man has true
worth of character; his life is a bless
ing to himself, to his family, to Socie-
ty and to the world; and he is pointed
out to future generations as a proper
example for the rising youth to emu
late.

No young man who desires to sue.
coed in business has any time to lose
in shutting about IN experimental
clerkship; and after finishing his
school education the sooner he makes
choice OF his business for life, and sets
himself at work to learn and become
successfully esta blished. the better.
No young man can afford to make a
mistake in his choice or occupation;
the first choice should be the r one.
| For this reason we would say to q
youn, man in regard to toutine clerk

Correct speaking.

All young people should acquire, In
early life, the habit Of correct speak
ing and writing. and to abandon, as
early as possible, any use OF slang
words and phrases. The longer you
live the more difficult the language
will be; and ii the golden age OF youth,
the proper season for the acquisition
OF language, be passed in it's abuse,
the unfortunate victim, if neglected,
is very properly dnomed to talk slang
for life. Money is not necessary To
urocu re this education. Every mar
has it Ia his power. He has merely
TO use the language which he reads
instead Of the slang which he hears;
to form his taste from the best OF
speakers and poets in the country: to
treasure up choice phrases 10 his
memorp and habituate himself TO
their use, avoiding at the same time
that pedantic precision and bombast
which show the weakness OF vain am
bition rather than the polish OF an
educatsd mind.

People who never mind their own
business are very much such a class
of animals as the cross, surely, whiffet

REACTION FROM THE RISE

New York, April 1s.-The day on the
 stock market proved uneventful again,
 although the appearance was not of such utter stagnation as prevailed for most
 b. yesterdays session. The tone was
 equally lacking in speculative initiative,
 and the sluggish and wavering price
 movement throughout the session gave
 evidence of the same languid interest.
 Disposition either to buy or sell seemed
 en rely lacking. Events are still lacking
 to define the probable future direction the
 movement will take when 1t emerges from
 its present lethargy. The bidding up of
 p:.,es which occurred just before the
 closing yesterday seems to have been
 able fea lures of the British budget state ment, which was presented to parliament yesterday, would promote strong tone
 in the London market today. The market took advantage of the budget factor, however, to effect some realizing. The 'consequence was some reaction here from the rise of yesterday Prices drifted aft rewards quite aimless1y. The London market had the advantage of falling dis count rates. but the offerings of the new |government issues forestalled demand for older security. The Berlin market also is concerned with yesterdays large issue of $100 900 000 of government issues. The ne-' issues were reported at premium at Berlin today, but the fact that sub scriptiens were invited in New York and the report of a tentative movement to introduce them on the Paris bourse, indi- cated the desire of f1nanciers to have as- sstance outside of the money market in absorbing the issue.
