Copyright, Lonts Klopsch, 1888.) Wasnixarox, D. C.—~Integrity and trick- ery in business life form the subject of Dr. Talmage’s sermon, and the contrast he establishes between the two is a striking one. The text is Proverbs xx., 14: “It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer, but when he is gone his way then he boasteth,” Palaces are not such prisons as the world imagines. If you think that the only time kings and queens come forth from the royal gates is in procession and gorgeously at- tended, you are mistaken. Incognito by day or by night and clothed in citizen's ap- parel or the dress of a working woman, they come out and see the world as it is, In no other way could King Solomon, the author of my text, have known everything that was going on. From mytext am sure he must, in disguise, someday bave walked into a store of ready made clothing in Jeru- salem and stood near the countbrand heard a conversation between a buyer and a sell. er. The merchant put a price on a coat, and the customer begun to dicker and said: “Absurd! That cont is not worth what you ask for it. Why, just look at the coarse. ness of the fabric! See that spot on the collar! Besides that, it does not fit, Twenty dollars for that? Why, it is not worth more than $10. They have a better article than thet for lower price down at Clothem, Fitem & Bros. Besides that, I don't want it at any price, Good morn- jog.” *‘Hold!” rays the merchant. “Do not go off in that way. I want to sell you that coat. I have some paymentsto make, and I want the money, Come, now, how much will you give forthat coat?” “Well,” says the customer, “I will split the differ. You asked £20 and I sald 810, Now, I wiil give you £15.” “Well,” says the merchant, “it is a sacrifice, but tage it at that price.” Then the customer with a roll under his arm started to go out and enter hisown piace of business, and Solomon in disguise followed him. He heard the customer as he unrolled the coat say: ‘Boys, I have made a great bargain. How much do you guess I gave for that coat?” “Well,” EAYS one, wishing to ecor.pliment his enterprise, “you gave it.” Another says, “I should think you got i* cheap if you gave $25." “No,” says the buyer in triumph, “Igot it for #15, 1 bent him down and! pointed out the imperfections until I really made him believe it was not worth | hardly anything. It takes me to make a | bargain. Ha, ha!” Ob, man you got the | goods lor less than they were worth by positive falsehood, and no wonder, when Solomon went back to his palace and had wat off his disguise, that sat down at Bis writing desk and made for all ages a erayon sketch of you “It is naught, it is | naught, saith the buyer, but when gouadiis way then he boasteth.” i There are no bh gher styles of men in all the world than those now at the head of mercantile enterprises in the great cities of this continent.

We cannot but admire an expert See how he frst induces the customer into a mood favorable to the proper consideration of the value of the | goods, He shows himself to be sn het est | and frank salesman. How carefully the! lights are arranged till they fall just right | upon the fabric! Beginning with goods of | medium quality, he gradually sdvances toward those of more thorough make and of more attractive pattern, How watehes the moods and whims of bis ens. With what perfect calmness he takes the order and bows the purchaser | he | from his presence, who goes away, haviog | made up bis mind that he bas bought the | goods at a price which will allow him al living margin when he again sells them. | The goods were worth what the salesman | sald they were and were sold at a pries which will not make it necessary for the house to fall every ten years In order to fix up things, i But with what burning indignation we | think of the iniquitous strategems by which goods are sometimas disposed of, A glance at the morning papers shows the arrival at one of our hotels of a young merchant from one of the Inland cities. He is a comparative stranger in the great city, and, of course, he must be shown around, and it will be the duty of some of our enterprising houses to escort him. He i» a large purchaser and has plenty of time and money, and it will pay to be very at. The evening Is spent at a place of doubtful amusement, Then they go back to the betel. Having just come to town they must, of course, dripk. A friend from the same mercantile estab. Hshment drops in, and usage and generos- ity suggest that they must drink. Busi- ness prospects are talked over, and the stranger is warned against certain dilapl- dated mercantile establishments that are about to fail, and for such kindness and magoanimity of caution against the dis- honesty of other business houses of course it is expected they wili—and so they do— take a drink. Other merchants lodging in adjoining rooms find it hard to sieep for the clatter of decanters, and the coarse earvusal of these “hail fellows well met” waxes louder, But they sit not all night At the wine cup. They mast see the sights, They stagger forth with ebeseks flushed and eyes bloodshot. The outer gates of hall open to Jet in the v.otims. The wings of lost souls flit among the lights, and the bling thunders of the lost, Farewell to all the sanctities of home! Could mother sister, father, slambering fn the inland home, in some vision of that night cateh a glimpse of the ruin wrought they would rend out their hair by the roots and bite the tongue till the blood spurted, shriek. Sut, “God save mb) a at, suppose you, will come upon sue business establishments?

According to those wise men who delight to remind us on every occasion of man's lowly origin, varicose veins are among the penalties we have to pay for standing on our hind legs instead of walking on all fours like the other animals. It is chiefly, they say, toe pressure of the very high column of slood upon comparatively thin walls of the veins that causes them to become dilated “varicose.” There are other that no contribute to establishment of this unpleasant affection.
