Tiic Verb "To ."
A brief conjugation of the verb "to do" can
hardly ever be out of place. It is one of the most
important items of practical life ; and although
e may have disregarded it, grammatically, since
the time when we put off the discipline of she
schools, and set our faces towards the world, the
reality has pursued us wi:h wonderful constancy
into the great arena of active life, and exacted
dailv service at our hands. In short, all the
enterprise, tbe genius, the skill, the fortune of the
individual, the prosperity of cities, naiional renown
all there is of active, vigorous life is compre
hended in the verb "to do." Not to do is to be
done."
But hmc to do? that's the question. Every
body i doing, but who are doing well I As a
general thing we miy answer, those who do right
none who do wrong. Some of those who do
right may be occasionally overtaken and prostra
ted by inevitable misfortune. While a few of
those who do wrong, by like 7iisfortune, seem
to do well. From these exceptions to the general
rule men have been induced very foolishly to say
that "Fortune is blind." But we utterly reject
the proverb. It originated in a narrow and partial
iew of human nature. Fortune is neither blind
nor coy ; but liberal and just, to those who "do"
rigid.
Yet how many come hort of ordinary success
in business. Do they do wrong ? Aye, in ninety -nine
caes out of a hundred. Our experience
Mould ennble us to cite innumerablo instances in
point. But our object is general, not personal.
There are thousands of men totally unfit for the
business in which they are engaged. There are
other thousands to wb m their business is unfit
for them. There are multitudes who hive no I act
for business, and who blunder nlong through its
perplexities for a few years and firnllv disappear.
There ore others who have no knowledge of hum in
nature, and are forever practising small impositions
wherever thev have ch-mre, until a had r'-p.ifa-tion
diffuses itself th.ough the puMie mind to ihHr
ultimate ruin. Out of these and other infirmities,
e see the few suereed and the many fail. It is
:ic inability "to do."
Who has not seen a business opened in a given
neighborhood, of some peculiar importance to do
rcstic nflairs for example ? Housewives have
looked to it as a welcome convenience. Every
body in the vicinity was prepared to extend the
hand of encouragement. Yet the first orders, the
lirst purchases, the first articles made, have dis
appointed all expectations), and convinced one at
once that a bugler, or at least an incompetent man
had rone in and taken the place that would have
profitably occupied the active enterprise of another,
lie could not do what he proposed, and, as a con
nequence, every body who confided in him was
done, until e was finally undone. There is not,
perhaps, a single reader of The Sun, in any sociul
position, who has not some experience of this sort.
The ability "to do" is not all; there must be the
u-11 with it. Every man in business must have
the desire to please his customers. The editor of
a paper, whatever independence he may profess,
must be anxious to satisfy the public. It may
rese an impossible task. Indeed, he of all men
is most freely canvassed, and most unsparingly
nbused. Nevertheless, if he be a true man ; is
governed by sound principles, and can exercise
Ins patience with faith, he can sulmii cheerfully
to erra'ic prjudice, assured that time will vindi
cate the truth. Who th-il can review the career
of The Sum fails to call to mind several occasions
in which it has labored in some public cause, ad
verse to a considerable amount of public opinion ?
Uii who is I here can point to the result of such
an issue, and say that in this thing The Sun was
wrong? Is this vain boasting? Fur from it. We
were not uloue in such opinions. Multitudes of
our fellow citizens coincided with us, and the
riylit succeeded at their hands. Our purpose
was, siinpe, to do our dutv, to do it well, and
to 'do it with a sTlff," confident that in the end
we should gratify bs well as serve the public.
In every sphere of business life there must pre
vail a sincere ilesire to plense those with whom
business is transacted. If this is not a part of a
man's character, he is unfit for business. With
out it, he is a mere machine for purposes of traffic.
What he des is mechanical, anil his interest in
the affair is Confinf-d to himself. Such a man may
Succeed, but he does not deserve success.
The only sure and infallible rule of business life
is to umlcrtnkc what we can !o and to do what
we un.lt i ttil.r. To do it tCfll and with a trill.

A F( dot f or Tom Cqrwik. Some years ago
when Tom Cocwin and Turn Ewiog were on a
political pilgrimage to the Northern part of the
St.vc, thev were invited to tarry over night with a
distinguished local politician. The guests arrived
rather late, and the lady of the mansion being ab
sent, a niece undertook In preside on the occasion.
She had never seen great men, and supposed y
were lephan:ine altogether, and all talked in gr at
language. "Mr. E ing, will you t.ike condiments
in your tea, sir," inquired the young lady, "Yes,
Miss, if you please," replied the quondam Sail
Boiler. Corwin'seve twinkled. Here was fun
for him. Oratified with the apparent success of
her tir triid, at talking wiih big men, the young
lady addressed Mr. Corwin in the same manner.
" ill von i, ike condiments in tionr tea, sir."
Pepper and Bolt, hut no mustard," was the prompt
reply of the facetious Tm. Of course, nature
must ou and EiPg and the entertainer roa-a d
M spite of themselves. Core in essayed to Htueftd .
the matter, and was voluble in compliment, anec
dfite and wit. But the woun'i was iminedic.ibU. '

C'orwin is coarse, vu'gar, disagreenble man.

H.wk v.'L a Disbasbo Livek ? The question,
though tar Wing, is auficteattjr suggestive, when
the lac is 'aken into CbnaKie ration that diseases
of the Liver have become most alarmingly Irequent
in the United States. Indeed, there are few for
midable to a deranged state of that important or
gan. Many of tbe complaints usually classed un
der the head of Consumption, have their origin in
the Liver. "Any remedy thai would insure re
gularity and healthful action in the Liver, would
be a blessing to mankind !" has been the txrla
oration of thousands. That remedy has bet n
feund ; it is safe and sure. When a fair trial
bus been afforded it, it has never been known to
full.
Reader, have you any disease of the Liver, or
disease which you believe proceeds from hepa
tic derangement? Lose not a moment, but
purchase a box of Dr. M'Lnne's Pills, and they
will restore you to health. It is the only remedy
yet discovered, in which implicit confidence may
be placed.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
Mc Lane's Celebrated Liver Pills, and tke none
else. There are other Pills, purporting to be
Liver Pills, now before the public. Dr. Mc Lane's
Liver Pills, also hi- celebrated Vermifuge, can now
he had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United
States and Conadn. 2w.
What do tub Physicians say ? Listen to
the testimony of an eminent phynoian in favor of
M 'Lane's Vermifuge, which is now universally
acknowledged to be the bes: in use; even mem
bers of the medical faculty (who are so often op
posed to the use of ptitent medicines,) cannot
withhold their approval of this invaluable re
medy :
Lind, Stnrk Co. Ohio, Jan 8, 1S49
I have used Dr. M'Lane's Worm Specific in
my private practice, and am prepared to say that
the unparalleled success with which 1 hive pre
scribed its use, both for children and adults, indu
ces me to say the most in its favor of any specific
or patent medicine ever before brought to my
notice. The mode of administration, the small
ness of the dose, and the certainty ol its effica
cious effects, give it, in my opinion, a decided
advantage over any other medicine of the kind be
fore the public.
OT" Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
Al'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, and take none
else. All other Vermifuges, in comparison, r,tf
worthless. Dr. M'Lnne's genuine Vermifuge, also
his Celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all
respectable Drug Stores in the United States and
Canada. 2w
