Men nyty accumulate wealth and acquire great influence by'means of dishonest practices, but they will signally fail of the achievement of that position which entitles them to the rcspoct and confidence of society. The community may overlook for the time the means that are employed for the accomplishment of the object of their ambition, but It really despises those who have bartered their integrity with their merchandise.

"Dear Mother : My time is nearly out." The rnsty pen just as it was laid down in the half filled sheet by the gallant and loving hand which hoped so soon to finish it- Here was a scrap of patriatic poetry, and inspired lyrics carefully copied on sheets of paper tinted with red, white and blue. Here were photographs of the favorite Generals, and pho-' tographs of the dear ones at home. Here were letters of heart breaking love atyl loyalty to duty, and holy faith and cheer, written at home; and here was the Testament given him by the woman he loved best, soiled and worn.

So long as men do not overleap the limit between what is lpgally allowable and that which is actually fraudulent, they consider themselves pursuing an honorable course, and regard any successful operation by which some other one has been injured, as an evidence oi superior tact and shrewdness worthy of their boast. Nothing is more productive of dishonesty than the well known principle of law caveat cwtptor, or let the purchaser look out. tTtader its protection the most fraudulent transactions are carricd oh. So long as men can evade the penalty of the law and cloak their dealings under' it? broad regis, they have little regard for their neighbor's rights, and too often deem it meet and proper to lake advantage of his Jgnorance. Business is too loosely transacted. Moral safeguards are too generally disregarded. The ambition for wealth deadens the sensibilities and destroys the kindlier impulses of tho heart. It has already polluted the channels of bueincss and laid its blighting hand upon publio credit. No man's word is taken in mercantile transac; tions, and his bond is seldom accepted without several sureties. Distrust is the spirit of the hour. No reputation is so unsullied or well proven, that it is not questioned in commercial circles. Honesty of dealing and recognized ability in the daily pursuits of life are often , considered as snares for the unwary. While such sentiments are pervading, it is not strange that the strongest houses falter and fall in a commcrcial panic. Confidence in. individual integrity is the very soul of business. When that is gone there is nothing to uphold and maintain it. Few men would take the note of their own brother without a good indortaer. Everything must be redooed to writing to ensure honest dealing. A man's word is as changeable as the wind, and promises are but empty sounds.

Why is it that the stars which hold their festival around the midnight throne, are above the grasp of oar limited faculties, forever mocking us with tbeir unapproachable glory f And finally, why is it that the bright forms of human beaatv are presented to our view and taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of oar affections to flow back'in Alpine torrents upon our hearts ?

There most be a higher standard observed in the marts of trade. Men must remember and practice the golden rule. Ignorance should no longer be the victim of intelligence. Deceit of any kind should be abhorrent to the mind.

Boys do not need mony half so much as they need to know how to earn ond save it. The boy who, at the close of his first year of independence, has earned and saved $100, and invested or loaned it where it will pay six or seven per cent., will almost surely become rich if he lives; while lie who closes his first year of responsibility in debt, Will probably live and die "in debt. There is no greater mistake made by our American youth than that of choosing to pay interest rather than to receive it. Interest devours us while wo sleep; it'absorbs our profits and aggravates our losses. Let a young man at twenty-five have $1000 loaned on bond and mortgage or invested in public securities and ho will rarely want money thereafter ; in fact, that $1000, invested at seven per cent., will of itself mako him rich boforo sixty. There is no rule more important or wholesome for our boys ths.n that which teaches tEem to go through life receiving intorest rather than paying it.

It is the duty of those, now actively engaged in commerce to set a proper example to the rising generation. It would undermine the character of our youth to expose to them tho principles that generally guide and control business men. No man who has a son, for whose welfare he cares at all, should dare to be dishonest. His reputation which should be sacred from reproach ia that son's esteem, is endangered by every questionable transaction. His very gains are evidences of his wrongs and speak volumes in his condemnation. There liWst be a pervading morality in all the channels of trade, or disaster and ruin will be inevitable. Fortune must rest upon the basis of honest industry or it will crumble in the lapse of time.

Realize that he who earns six-pence per day more than he spends must get rich, while he who spends six-pence more than he earns irtust become poor. This is a very hackneyed truth, but we shall never be done needing its repetition. Hundreds of thousands are not only poor but wretched to-day, simply because they fail to comprehend or will not heed it.— We habitually spend to much on our own stomachs and our neighbor's eyes. Wo are continually in hot water, not becatiso we cannot live in comfort on our means, but because we persist in spending more than we need or can afford. Our youth squander in extra food and drinks, in frolic, and dissipation, which does them harm instead of good, the means which should be the nest»egg of their future competence. When cares and children cluster about them, they grumble at their hard fortune ; forgetful that they wasted tho years and tho means which might aud should have saved them from present and future poverty. "What is it?" called the father. Mar asd Wifb.—The theory of man and wife, that special theory, in accordance with which, the wife is to bend .herself in taring submission before her husband, is yery beautiful; and it would be good altogether if it could only be arranged that the husband should be stronger and the greater of the two. The theory is based upon this hypothesis ; and the hypothesis fails sometimes of confirmation. In ordinary marriages the vessel rights itself, and the stronger and greater takes the lead, whether clothed in petticoats or in coat, waistcoat or trowsers ; but thero sometimes comes a terrible shipwreck, when the woman, before marriage, has filled herself full with ideas of submission, and then finds that her gold-headed god has got an iron body and feet of clay.
