What a blessing it is that i u J.1 young people can i see, m troubles that are to come, ana what a blessing that all tue troubles don't come at once.

If be bad been "enaeriy.raiseu. and baa known no want,ana had trials, the shocli 01 aisap- pointmeut will be. very great, and he will waut toquu anuu home and nestle under parental wiutfs. But if his young me ha been a bard one he is better prepared to scuffle,' and will 1 fi'bt the harder for success. And so the law of compensa tion comes in and helps the poor friendless to rise against misfoltuue. ' They are harden ed to reverses before the real battle of life begins. Not long atzo a successful physician told me that wheu he graduated aud bad bis diploma, and had diligently studied the science, nnil anent two years in the hos- nitala nf NuW 1 OrK. 116 ieil like there was little need for anvbodv to die if they would send for bim. It was not long before they did send for him, and after losing several' of bis first patients, it shocked bim almost to de?pair, and he felt like throwing up the sponge and quitting the profession. A man has to be bumped about and rubbed against mauy a ragged edift hnforw he is a man: 1 was ruminating about this because we have sent one of our boys out "upon the road. He is a a nrummer. lie uas jumou grand army of commercial trav ellers. Full of his' youth and hope, there was no such wor i as tan in bis dictionary. He 3st knew he could make, for you see, we are making thje . best oil and greases in the world and Ralph thought that everybody would believe hirn wlien he said .so 'and would be glad to see bim and embrace the oppor tunity to buy. He came back In a week and looked serious. It wa3 amusingly pitiful to hear him tell his experience. He had diligently tried several factories and mill's and sold on- f them. -but then he had some promises that were encourauintr. : lie said he would not mind , if they would treat him politely. "Why, One man," said he, "didn't notice me Vmrrllv at all: he never asked mB t.n take a. neat he kept on talking to his etiirineer and he went out and walked about eorne aud then caine-back and went to writing and when I asked bim if be would look at my prices, he went out to talk to the engineer again, and as I started to leave he said: 'Young man. I dop't want grease and want, mnnev. It takes more Tni.nttr t.tfl.n trrease to run this mill.'"" Then he told how an other man said crabidly: "iNo eir. We are not needing any oils now' and wouldn't even look at his prices." But he did Cad some g3utlemen consider ate gentlemen who treated him kindly and politely. . The n an said he . really did not need any at present bnt would give him a small order to en courage him. If the boy hadn't got that order I think he would have thrown up the spomce and quit. Lat week he started out again.and has sent in orders for ten barrels, aud feels better lie is finding out that business is business, and that time is so tirecious. and business men Jiave no time towaste on po iiteuess. lie tra?s with other ' drummers who hae met the enemy and know hovy to fight, 'and thf-y lauglit his' timidity and liin expectations of being treated like he was a gentleman and to take a saet, and how the family, and when he came to town, and remark or two about the weather.

They wfll talk aJ man 8jid get his average for truth, honesty and civility and rarely make a mistake.
