A Young Man Who Has Char acter and Good Health, Is Industrious, Energetic, Eco nomical, Honest nnd Accu rate, and has Sense Enough to Seize Hold of Opportunities As they Come to Him, Has a flood Working Capital to Start With, Yet Many Think Money the Only Requisite to Success. Says an exchango: We presume that most young men at 1 years of age imagine they could do great things in the world if they only had enough money! Many think they can make a great success in business if they can have enough money to get a start. Now, money is a very necessary hiog in running any business and nn business can run long without some inoncj;but the notion that money is the only necessary thing or even that it is the most important thing, U an eiror. Every successful business man owes his success to certain elements of charac ter which would have made him success ful with much or little money. A young man who is industrious, energetic rni nomieal, honest and accurate and has brains to seize hold of opportunities as thoy come to him, has character which it a good working capital of itself. Sueh i young man will make a success eveu if he has to start with a small amount of money. A man's character, therefore, is an important part of his capital. Our young readers may not have noticed it, but it is a faot, all firms lake into conoid eration the characters of those they dea with as being as important as their finan cial standing. It is so with all busini- firms. A certain firm has a reputation for dealing honorably and justly with every one who has business with it. Such I reputation is worth thousands of dol lars to that firm. It ia a part of its work ing capital. A firm which gets thcrcputa- tion of being dishoneBt or tricky in its dealings is not likely to last many years We want our young friends to remem ber that the character you build will be come a part of your capital and it will eventually make you or break you in the busioesa world, lour moral character is just as important I part of yt-ui business capital as your financial capital.

What A Wonderful Influence This Good Woman Exerted In This One Prayer. Iieneral J iim-i.1i Duncan, after four terms in ('digress, was elected, in 1834, to be Governor nl liliuuis, which position he held for lour years. He invited a young man, Tiuuun M. Post, whom he had Ileum n in Wellington, to cume to liis lliitn.ii home and serve him as clerk, or private secretary. The young man arrived at Jacksonville, where Ueneral Uuncao resiuca, on a uay when the Governor-elect was receiving a large delegation of his political friends. The table was set uoder the 'oaks, and the young secretary took his seat, among the prominent men. To his great sur prise Mrs. Duncan called upon him to ask the blessing, and he could ooly Ham mer : "Madam, I beg your pardon; I am not a Christian." There was a moment's pause, and ihm Mrs. Duncan, standing at the head of the tublc, in a quiet, womaoly voice, ut tered a prayer of thanks for the blessings with which the Heavenly Father had spread their table and filled their lives. Every one was impressed by the act, but two persons were deeply moved One of these was Governor Duncan, who shortly afterwards became a Christian and said grace at his own table. Tin other was young Truman, whom she had supposed, from the character given him by her husband, to be a professor ol relgt ion. To-day few names of ministers are bet ter remembered or held in higher honor throughout the Northwest than that of Bov. Dr. Truman Marcellus Post. As a frontier missionary ho did heroic aervice, extending his labors over a wider and wider area as his power and influence enlarged, and occupying at length a I- ad ing pulpit in St. Louis, whence his work reached out on every side in a rapiJIy devcloptog region, encouraging feeble hands, multiplying agencies ol bent licence and leaving its mark on (uture genera tions. When some one, in hii later yuars, re ferring to his early political assoiiali ins, asked him what changed the current uf his life into the channel which proved so conspicuously useful, he told the story of Mrs. Duncsn'a prayer. Her quiet act of duty at a trying moment had followei him with its iuiffacrable iuipressiou until he dedicated himself to the God she loved and served. Mrs. Duncan was then dead, but the power of her example li.ed on; Dr. 1'obI is dead, but his work survive. The incident of the Governor's dinner is not unique. Utners ol simitar amine tion have happened and passed without luroishinir the niakion ol a chapter But his one like all incidents ia meusured by its const queuoes. It not only showed the t haracti r and quick resource of a noble Christian lady, but, unexpec tedly to hcri-elf, it bore fruit and made her remembered. And the revival of every such memory i" s:iuiulatiug and in structive. Youth s Coinpauion. Reflections of a Bachelor. One thing that money cannot buy is I clear conscience. An old man fallen into love ia an old man fallen into folly. Some men are never old enough to know better than to go and get married a .run. The way for a man to get the proper estimate of his importance in his owu house is to biiog a baby into it. You can leach I woman how to for give the sins ol another woman, but you can never teach her Low lu forgive an other for weariag bet l-r clothes than she doea, WISDOM'S WHISPERS.

Softer it seemed than the softest down On the breast of tho gentlest dove; But its timid press and its caress Were strong in the strength of love ! It seemed to say in a strange, sweet way, "I love you and understand," And calmed my fears as my hot heart tears Fell over that little hand. Perhaps there are tenderer, sweeter things Somewhere in the sun-bright land; But I thank the Lord for His blessings And the clasp of a little hand. Frank L. Stanton. THE SAFEST Life, my boy is a bicycle path, And "Work" is the wheel you should ride If you would mount to the crest of the hill And coast down the other side. Just oil the maclitne vith cheerfulness And see that the parts are in trim, Then straddle then saddle and pedal on With a ready, steady vim. Don't start with a rush up the hill of life Just pedal a medium gate j Remember that those wlio "scorch" at first Are likely to finish late. Grasp the handle bars of the wheel of "Work" With a firm hold not too tight ! Then sit up straight, like a man, and push Push for the road that's right ! You may wabble a bit, and punctures, too, May cause you to dismount, But plug the holes with smiles and pluck, They are the plugs which count. There are other makes of machines than "Work' There's the ''Idle," the "Lazy," the "Rest," And hosts of others of tempting stylo, But the one called "Work" is best. Its a low-geared wheel of homely frame, But its safe and sure and strong, And tho man who rides it persistently Can never in life go wrong. So straddle the saddle of "Work," my boy, And push it along with pride. Till ytu get to the top of the hill of life, Then you'll coast down the other side. New York Herald.

Pathos and Pleasure In the Pur chases of an Aged Couple. "Let me tell you a story of human in terest," said a real estate man to a repor ter. "A few months ago u man and his wile, people to whom nothing has come without much Ulior, came to my office and made the first payment on the house which they hail long been oceupyiug as tenants. They were very happy to be able to buy their home, and the way ihey laughed about it and talked of ihe sacri fices they had made to accomplish it stopped the work of every clerk in the office and somehow mado us feel as though the sun were shining through the windows, although the day was dark out outside. 'In a lew dajs, when we had about forgotten tha transaction, we were sur prised with a visit from the old wife. 'Do you know,' she said lo me after glancing about (usee that wo were alone 'do you know, I've beet, thinking (hat I can save fuciioj) money froui my ullaw auce to buy that 50 lout lot uiljoiuiog ours on the south. It will make such a splendid play-ground for the children, and I can have it about paid for when our houao is deeded to us clear. It will be so good for the children;' she contin ued quietly and then, after a pause, 'and it will surprise Henry, too.' Well, we closed the deal for the lot on the south, aod she went away happy. It was a beautiful scheme, we thought, and one in which, from business motives, we took much interest. "But that isn't all. A few days mt the old man came in, his face wreathed with smiles. 'I've been figuring it all out,' he began confidentially. 'I've 'held out' m much in the past that I'm going to keep it up. I want to buy the 3(1 feet lot en the north side of our house. can have it paid for by the time my wile and I have i deed to the house. I want to get play room lor the children. God bless them! They've been a lot of trouble, but they're worth it,' and it will be such a surprise to Martha.' "While he had be talking I didn't know whether to laugh or to wipe my eyea. 1 he girl clerks, too, who knew the story well by this time aod had been listening intently, now found that some thing on the street demanded their atten tion, and one was trying to rub some duet from her eyea. 'All right,' I said, 'you can have it.' Now, you may not believe it," the real estate man concluded solemn ly, "but it's a fact, I knocked off my commisrion on that sale. Such occur rences are so rare in real life that they should be encouraged. I should like to be present when those two spring their surprises." Wsshington Star. WHEN FATHER RODE THE GOAT. The house is full of arnica And mystery profound; We do not dare to run about Or make the slightest sound; We leave the big piano abut Aod do not strike a note, The doctor's been here seven times Since father rode the goat. He joined the lodge a week ago Got in at 4 a. m , And sixteen brethren brought liiai home. Though he aays he brought iheut His wrist was sprained, and one big rip Had rent his Sunday coat There must have been i lively time When father rode the goat. He's resting on the church today Aod practicing his signs I The hailing aign, working giip, And other monkeyshinei; He mutter passwords, 'ueath hiibreaih, And other things he'll quote They surely had an evening's work When father rode the goat. He has a gorgeous uniform, All gold and red and blue, A hat with plumes and yellow braid, Aod golden badges, too. But, somehow, when we mention it, He wears a look so grim We wonder if he rode the goat Or if the goat rode him. Baltimore American Man wants but little here below And yet bis nerve's sublime.
