"What cveryou do, do it well. A job
slighted, because it isapparcntly unim
portant, leads to habitual neglect, so
that men degenerate, insensible, into
bad workmen.
"That is a good rough job," said a
foreman in our hearing, and ho meant
that it was apiece of work, notelogant
in itself, but strongly made, and well
put together.
Training the hand and eye to do
work well, leads individuals to form
correct habits in other respects, and a
good workman is, in most cases, a good
citizen. No onu need hope to rise
above bis present situation, who suf
fers small things to pass by unimprov
ed, or who neglects metaphorically
speaking, to pick up a cent because it
is not a dollar.
Some of tho wisest law makers, the
best statesmen, the most gifted artists
the most merciful judges, the most in
genius mechanics rose from the great
mass.
A rival to a cctain lawyer sought to
humiliate him publicly, by saying,
"You blacked my father's boots once."
"Yes," replied the lawyer unabashed
"and I did it well." And by his
habit of doing even mean things well,
he rose to greater.
Take heart, all who toil I all youths
in humble situations, all in adverse
circumstances. If it bo but to drive
the plow, strive to do it well; if only
to cut bolts, make good ones; or to
blow tho bellow, keep the iron hot.
It is attention to business that lifts the
feet high up on the ladder.
Says tho good book "seest thou a
man diligent in Ids business? he shall
stand before kings ; ho shall not stand
before mean men."

which will enable them to refuse llto-e

those rigid laws of the counting room
which regulate dealings between man
and man, and which make the coun
ting room as exact in all matters of
time and exchange ns a banking house
which ignore friendship, affection,

an autocrat of an accountant, who is,
at the same time, strictly an obedient

this grand system of business, and sub
mit himself to its rigid rules, ami to
maintain his position with perfect
integrity, and, at the same time, bo a

Some of the best business men I
have ever known. Men who have
acquired wealth by rigid adherence to
business integrity, who havesnmetimes
been deemed harsh, and hard by those
with whom they have had business re
lations, have shown a liberality and
generosity towards objects of charity
which have placed them among the
world's benefactors. Men who have
exacted the Lust fraction of a cent with
one hand, in the way of business, have
disbursed thousands of dollars with the
other in tho way of charity. Dr. Hol

or, more briefly, "to go Snacks;" and
hence the phrase came to mean, "to di

"to go shares, in which sor.se it has

is to help one of his neighbors to move

An editor's tiuaiificalions aro various. It
is to work harder, more hours in the day, with
less recreation, on less sleep and poorer pay
than any of your follow mortals; It lu to bo
busy when your neighbors nro Idle, busier
when they sleep, nud busiest when they ara
enjoying a good tune, it is to be always In a
hurry, always under a press of business, al
ways "setting up" when others nrolyitigdown
and always charitably "distributing" the re
sults of dully labor. It is to have your opin
ions nl ways put to "proof," and co'dorn Into
practice. It is to advcrflso other people's
waiils,wishi!8 and warcs.to announco facilities
for pleasure j to herald the approach of diseas
es and tlie Inventions of cures for them ; to
make known who has been robbed, how much
where, who Is the robber, his personal history,
his trial, sentence, and its execution. It Is to
recclvo nice fruit and .notice it, to bo shown
natural curiosities and descilbu them, to bo
every where at all times, and to bo able to an
swer till fl'.!U:.-tioilfl Oil till Hll'J'JCtS. It is to
publish Ino much sentiment for 0110, too much
politics for another, and to litllo news for all.
Il is to niako a dozen enemies lo 0110 friend,
and to he pili 'hid into by anybody who choos
es lo consider himself nggrleved. It is to take
complimentary tickets to everything and pny
Fr them in complimentary notes. It is
lo lie bored by friends suggesting how yon
should carry on your business, and bullied by
thoso whom you havo hit iu vulnerable spots.
It Is a life of mingled good and ill, trial and
triumph, never ending toll and never begin
lng felicity, wherein you work out your allot
lottcd timo with tlio "devil" always at your el
bow, calling (jf tho sole cud in this life a little
more copy.
