Sank down in loveliness to rest.

some time and trouble to acquire.
1st. Pursue the business you are eu-
craged in with zeal and activity. With-
out much industry and even energy, your
time will melt away with little or no
profit. It: follows from this obvious rule,
that you ought to concentrate your atten-
tion upon one particular line of business, 1
rather than distract it among several. If
youhave many different irons in the fire,
either do it yourself or see it done by
others. Even your agent will soon learn
to despise you, as well as to neglect your
concerns, unless you show an interest in
them ‘yourself. Neglect it yourself and
your agent will neglect. If he does not
take the man to your heart—-he is one in
ten thousand.

On the third day after that of St. Val-
entine, the lover of the unliappy suicide
returned to the city. He found not his
beloved in the pleasant parlor of her fath-
er, but a sleeper in the voiceless and des-
olate tomb. The fatal valentine was
found and submitted to his inspection.
He avowed his utter ignorance of it, and
having fallen into a settled melancholy,
is now a raving maniac. As to- the
thoughtless and wicked man who wrote
the foolish valentine, his name and pur-

GOOD HIT FOR A YOUTH.
An old chap in Connecticut, who was
one of the most niggardly men known in
that part of the country, carried on the
blacksmitliing business very extensively;
and, as is generally the case in that State
boarded all his own hands. Anil to show
how he envied the men what they ate,
‘he would have a bowl of bean soup dished
lup for himself to cool, while that for the
!hands was serve;l hot. A boy who did
1 .
itbe cooking, was rather unlucky among
,the hot irons frequently burning his {in
-‘gcrs. The old man scolded him severely
one day for being so careless.
“How can Itell,” said the boy, “if
they are hot, unless they are red.”
“Never touch anything again till you
spit on it; if it don’t hiss, it won’t burn."
In a day or two the old man sent the
,boy to see if his soup was cool. The
.jboy went in and spit in the bowl; of
course, the soup did not hiss. He went
back and told the boss all was right.
“ Dinner!” cried he.
- All hands run; down sat the old man

“RAEFORM IN TR}/_%.
BY. nonacr: ciii-‘.i:I'.Y.
The year draws rapidly to a close; its
Commercial transactions on a large scale,-
are ended. Mercliarits are settlingvupi
their books, taking account of stock, and;
just beginning toprepare or- to plan for'
the coming season. -It is just the time‘ to’
rectify mistakes, and to adopt. improve-‘
merits, and we trust the following crude’
Suggestions, though by no means‘ novel,»
will be pondered by many. .
We have too many Mercantile establish-‘
ments——every body is aware of that. That.’-
is to say, business of exchanging the pro‘-‘
yducts of industry could be well perforinedl
,by less than half the number now érn‘-'
iployed in it; thereby securing cheaper’
;exchanges to the producer, with a more‘
’ample or reliable reward to the exchan-'
ger. .
To illustrate this, we may roughly esti-'
mate the average sales of a Dry Goods‘
Jobbing House in this city at $900,000’
,per annum, at a medium advance upon the’
icost of ten per cent. Out of this must.’-
be paid Rent, Clerk-hire, Insurar'ic'é‘, the‘
'support of a I"amil_v, and lossses by bmlf
,*rlebts—-the latter item probably averaging’
!$l0,000 per annum, or five per cent. on‘
the gross amount of sales. Of course‘, We‘
do not say that there has been five per’
cent. lost on the collectionsiofjthis year ;'~
but we do say, wtth a perfect assurance’
of its accuracy, that on all the goods sold
on credit from our city within the last ten‘,-
twenty, thirty, or forty years, the loss‘
cannot be less. The general result is‘
that bad debts work the downfall of two-
thirds ofall who embark in business, while‘
extravagant expenditures, tempted by the
apparent rapidity and facility of money-‘
making, (counting the advance in price“
on Gi.-ods sold but not yet for as profit,)’
ruin a large portion of the’ residue :7 so’
that of every hundred who embarfc in‘
Trade with sanguine hopes of achieving at-
competency if not a fortune, ninety-nine‘
come out bankrupt, and not more than’
five ever find themselves able to retire’
upon an independence.- _ j _
The system cannot go on. It is already"
undermined, and tottering to its fall.-—
'l'he next revulsion will very probably‘
sweep away the wreck of it. But if not,-,
the naked fact that, under the systern‘ of
general credit for goods, the country is‘-
always in debt and paying interest to the‘
City, and the good prompt paymasters‘
are laid under contribution to defray the‘
prices of the goods consumed by the large‘
class who pay at the end of a law-suit _or'
not at all, is gradually working a r'evolu'-'
tion. So fast as those who pay promptly’

and certainly, come to understand the’
matter, they will back out of so‘ unequal
a partnership, leaving the credit business‘
_to bad payers alone, and that will soon’
wind up. ‘ . _

6th. Whenever you are under the ne-
cessity of applying to ‘your friends to in-
cur for you any serious responsibility,
you ought never to ask it, unless you in
turn incur an equal responsibility for
them, or make them secure by a pledge
of property. These transactions are gen-
erally ordered in' quite a different man-
ner. Men hurrytheir friends into banks,
or more perilous places without caution
,or security. If they fail, away go their
friendswith them. This is a risk which
few men ought to incur, or impose upon-‘
others. If you ought to give security, of

As usual, Mary and her cousin are to

A RUM SWEAT. ‘~-
, Not a hundred miles from the thriving
town of Athol, Masst, there lives a ma-
hogany-faced man, whose daily potations
are somewhat stronger than catnip tea.
_I-Ie has been known to doodle under the
{extra weight. of a “stone in his hat,” any
‘day these number of years. Yet the
man is not bereft of all self-respr-ct, but
demeans himself as well as he is able,
“considering,” and not unfreqiienily in-
dulges in the luxury of a clean shirt. It
was to array himself in one of these use-
ful articles, one bright Sunday mo2'ning,
that this son of Bacchus built a rousing
fire in the stove, and fastened his door,
to promote the comfort and security of
the operation. Being thus prepared, he
leisurely stripped hiiriself, and taking the
primitive garment, alluded to, by the
,nether edges, proceeded t.o work himself
Einto it. He had managed to get one arm
{into the sle ve,and was trying to discov-
ger. an opening for his head, when he lost

l-—back he went, endeavoring vainly to
{stop himself, or “see out”—tli-at hot
stove being precisely in range—-till his
bare and shrinking calves came in con-
tact, and he took a square seat upon its
top! He roared and roasted; he begged’
and baked; he screamed and fricased—-
till his door was burst from its fastenings,
and be dragged from his ‘dreadful seat
writhing and yelling with agony. Many
a long night he groaned and cursed, and
