And to-day there is no man more honored and respected by his friends, and none more (cared by gamblers and evil-miuded specu lators in irresponsible stock, than is the once know nothing of. Never buy an article simply because a man who sells it will take it iu trade. Trade is money. A good business habit aud reputation is always money. Make your place of business-pleasant and attractive and stay there to wait on customers.

Be obliging. Never use profane or vulgar words, or allow yourstlf to make has'y or ungentle cianly remarks to those iu your employ to do so lessens not only their respect lor you, but your influence over them. Help yourself and will help you. Be faithful over the interests confided to your keeping and iu good time your responsibilities will be richly increased. Do not be in too great haste to get rich.

Do not build uut.l you have laid a good foundation. Do not spend time in idleness. If your time is your own, business will suffer if you do. If it is given to another for pay, it belongs to him and you have no more right to steal it tbau you have to steal money. Be kind.

Pay, as ou go. A man of honor respects Lis word as much as does Lis bond. Ask, but never beg. Help others when you can, but never when you cau not afford to, because it is fashionable. Learn to say no.
