It is part of ilae duty of these men to attach theniscives to buyers,and amuse them by initiation into the mysteries of a large city. Too often country merchants, in the eA - ,ercise, of that liLerty which absence from home gives to them, are willims to indulge in.the worst excesses, ancl the "drummer" must gratify the appetite of his charge,, even-though he be satiated himself— There is no den, however in .iduituus,,that be must not visit, and, no vice so degrading, that he must not steep . ibimSell in it. lie must pander-to• the taste of his custoMer;, or he will fail iui l o the 'Clutches of some “drunnuer ' whose scruples are not so troublesome.. - *- • - ThiLt merchants can be founcrin city, who are not only willing but urgent that their young men should, sacrifice their self-nspe.ct, and acquire vicious habits,:to simply sell a bill of Eroods, is a sad commentary upon the power which greed for gain exercises, over otherwise hOin.irable — iuen.

A Young man had' better cairn a mere livelihood by hard manual labor,! than consent to play the part of a decoy for a mercantile, and ruin his soul and body, !hereby' ; and a merchant who, cannot rise to wealth- but by trampling upon the wrecked characters of his young aicn,had far better drag through life in miserable poverty.
