Hhab is to follow, or in icy winter
when old Boreas is at his best and
gives us such as he hath-which
| is a pltnty-ur was yesterday. A
| party of old gentlemen met the old
war horse of rough weather-Captain
Sunny Simmons at the King street
wharf yesterday and as ne was in his
usual pleasant mood suggested trip
for an hour or so.
We started on the journey, all pre-
pared for fun, with no particular place
to- call destination. The captain, af-
ter leaving the wharf, noticed fierce
cloud arousing in the west, but being
game, said he was ready to face the
music. On account of heavy rain we
Were compelled to seek the ship yard
for shelter. But later, we started
for the Dyke-the summer home of
good fellows We stopped at the
Rambler's Club and saw in prepare
ton for dinner which by the way is
in charge of the king of chefs-"Billy"
Roberts-the incest chicken you ever
saw, and he can cook chicken. We
took the lunch and went as far as
Captain Arthur Kings summer home,
where we were royalty entertained.
The heavy wind having interfered
with the tide we thought we would
leave early and we started. But low
and behold we got in smelling" dis
lance of that Rambler chicken and we
cold either go nor come. After an
hour or two in "peril' some of the
members of the club came out in small
boats and conducted US ashore. The
seriousness of the trip was lessened by
the music furnished by Mr.. Charles
Miller and Captain Simmons and son.
But Notwithstanding our dilemma VIC
were almost in touch of the
BUOY
Faithful little sentinel at thy post
Where oft danger lurketh round the
rocky coast,
Needing not the storm winds with
their icy breath
Hurrying the mariner oftimes to his
death.
Faithful little sentinel on the azure
deep
Where the summer winds play. and
the wavelets leap,
Thou art saying ever danger lurketh |
near
Meath the gentle bil.ows shoals and
rocks appear.
Oft beneath the surface of the sea of |
life,
AS we're hurrying onward, hopeful
mid the strife,
Sands and shoals lie hidden where we
deem them not
Change and disappointment falling to
our lot.
Let US seek pilot as we onward glide,
Who will lead us safely DER lifs's ebb-
ing tide
To an endless rest beyond deateh's
rapid river
Where life's storms and Gains come
no more forever.
After bountiful supper given us
in the Rambler's Club We thanked hea
ven that there was such a thing as an
electric trai nand we took it, having
the ship to do it's best against the
storm.

Some little weakness, some self-ln
diligence, quick temper, want OF
decision, are little things, you say
when placed beside great abilities,
but they have wrecked many career.
In fact, most of us are much more
effected by the little things of life
which constantly occur than the great
things which occur seldom and for
which we are usually on the lookout.
1t is often not so much the great
things that injure mans business
or profession as the little things, the
trifles that he does not think mucn
about.
An employer is influenced by the
little things in an application for a
position. The little remarks dropped,

A few wears before Mr.. Rushmore' s.
death he spoke to me of the great as
set which character is sure to give d
man engaged in business. He said
that he and his brotherin- Law, Mr..
Seney. had both been greatly inter-
ested in the undertaking of a young
man who went from a New England
town to New York city just before
the outbreak of the Civil war intend
ing to start a small retail dry goods
store In some way. the details of
which I do not now recall Mr., Seney
became interested in this young man
and as his acquaintance with him
grew, frequently referred to him as
an admirable type of the young man
who conducts business in accord
ance with all the rules of honor and
the moral law.
II frequently heard Mr.. Seney
speak of this young man-whose
name was Macy-and l was very glad
to make his acquaintance in the
course of a year or two said Mr..
Rushmore.
AT that time my business was
that of a wholesaler in pretty mucn
everything that is sold in a retail
drv goods store, and after while

to the young retail storekeeper
named Macy.
Il learned of two or three incidents
which occurred while young Macy
was undertaking to build up his
business. He gave I'D opportunities
for two or three profitable trans
actions which were perfectly legal,
but nevertheless were characterized
by a certain kind of 'smartness' -
lack of good faith.

these incidents and asked him why

trif1es could cause such tragedies;
that cigar or cigarette stump could

a defective fiue, the wind blowing the

woman while drying her hair by a
