To rest :it last. Will Devotion to Duly. At this soason of the year many youn; people haying com pi o tod their school oduoation sock employment and boriu their life-work as mem bers of the eroat industrial army. They have much to learn and will Sain most useful knowledge by ob servation and experience, yet they may be helped, to some extent, by advice, even though it should do lit tle more than direct their attention to some points which can easily be verified. The youns worker is son erally sensitive on the subject of be ins imposed upon, lie does not want to do another's "vork and is very particular not to do anything more than his contract calls for. This is well enough where there is shirking on the part of a fellow-employe, but the disposition is liable to be carried to an extreme. The rule for an employe who wants to be promoted is to labor cheerfully for his employer, without regard to the letter of his contract. The work man who is in waiting for the hour of closing, though ho may serve full time and discharge exactly the du ties for which he lias been engaged, does not win such esteem as one who, though less exact, exhibits real zeal and cheerfully labors overtime if he finds that some good is to be aecomp:ihed thereby. Another rule for those who wish to succeed is to avoid outside engagements whicli distract the thoughts from business or so exhaust the energies as to make one listless during business j hours. Whether the pay be large or small (and it is generalh' small until one's worth has been proved) the em ployer is entitled to the best possi- j b!e service of the employe. The lat- ' tor should therefore be fre.-h in the j ; morning, prepared to do a full day's j work with intelligence and zeal. He cannot be in this condition if he has j sacrificed sleep to pleasure or even j to study. j i In every large establishment there are scores of employes against whom j 1 no particular charge can be made, i i ' , . i i Lhov are aiwavs on tune, tnev uo ! , I that winch they are told to uo and work with at least a fair degree of skill or inteiliirencv. but they are never advanced. This is because they act too much like automatons. I They exhibit 1:0 ;:eul. When an; emergency arises, when help is need-j ed in some department other than i their own, th,y do not volunteer their services; on the contrary, they demur if asked to do anything for which they were not engaged. Like Shy lock, they ask, "Is it so nomina ted in the bond?'' They exhibit -no interest in their employer's business. They grumble about doing "another man's work,"' when after all it is on ly their employer's work. They have leen engaged for certain work which they perform, and their only interest is their weekly wages. As nothing can bo said against them, they may be thus employed for years, but when promotions are to be made they do not attract the at tention of their employers; they are men; hewers of wood and drawers of water and will remain so to the end of their days. Promotion comes to the zealous and energetic; those who make their employers cause their own and give more than full measure of service, not for the sake ol ttieir wages so much as because of their devotion to duty. No amount of skill or ability or methodical habits will compen ! sate for a lack of zeal in the perform- IS'p" d the new employe omotion should make it :i noint from the ber:.nning of his career n huh. .is wu.uu..... ..v. cheerfully for his employer as ho would for himself and to take as irood care of his employer's property as lie would of his own. That is one way to win promotion in business Tbe shake: man who didn't care three of a lamb's tail about the newspapers, recently rode thirteen 'mi es through the not sun 10 got a 1 weekly that stioke of him as a promt- lent citizen.

Kill Tells Wh.it an Obi Man of Three Score and Ten Can Do. "How many miles to Mily bright? Three score and ten." Now, since I have just passed rny seventieth year on this mundane sphere, I can't keep that old refrain out of my mind. Three score and ten! It follows me about and "seems to say: "Your time is out, old gentleman. Every day you live now is del gratia a fa vor an extra allowance that was not promised and is not deserved. So, be thankful and prudent, and don't drink too much ice water this hot weather. A young man's ma jority is twenty-one, an old man's se venty. Twice he crosses the Rubi con, if he lives that long, and then comes another river a darker one and like Caesar he may say, 'Jacta est alea" the die is cast." 1 was ruminating about this seven ty years this magical sacred num ber that is man's allotted age. Se venty learned men translated the old testament MOO years before Christ and seven tr disciples were sent out by Him as missionaries to preach the gospel and establish His church. It was Moses who wrote that the days of our years shall be threescore and ten, and yet he lived to be one hundred and twenty years nearly twice the allotted age, and half of whicli was labor and sorrow work ing with a vexatious and ungrateful people. It is curious how gradually the age of mankind dropped down from nine hundred to one hundred and twenty in the ton generations that succeeded Noah: then it dropped to seventy in the next ten, and there it stands. There has been no change for 4.000 years. The long suffering of the Creator seems to have been appeased. Well, of course these seventy years are not the fixed limit for any man or uomau, uui nicy a.ece. lam.y uie .. il. ...A.-T. O. . allotment of human longevit Hut few go beyond it. The wagon breaks down all ovet Tt rvin't bo nnt.-hod ; 1 1 up any more, ror several years it has been sent to the shop occasional- ! ly for repairs, and been doing light : work, but the time will surely come ; I when wheels and axles and hounds j must all collapse. .This is no misfor tune nor fault nor penalty, but, as ! Judge Hammond used to say, "It j is the law of this ease," and there is 1 nothing so very sad or horrible about it. It is just such a change as all j nature is going through, and if a ! man lives right, he has no reason to lament its coining. Kvery eed of ; tree or flower is a symbol of our own j resurrection. Old ago has its rcvards as well as its infirmities. Moses said that the young men shall stand up and honor the faces of the old men. and many of the promises are a good old age a full age a ripe old age, as a shock I of corn in its season. How eonside 'rate are the children to their aged I parents, and how loving are their ! irrandoluldrem They run our er rands and comb my back hair and black my shoos and go to the post office. The years from seventy to eighty are not always years of labor blood poisoning. Of course the op ami sorrow sometimes they are the ; oration was attended with a great best of all. Sydney Smith said : "I j deal of pain. Hut after his arm be am seventy-four years old, am at ; gan to heal, the painful feeling re- ease in my circumstances, in tolera ble health, a mild whig, a tolorating churchman, much given to talking, laughing and noise. I am, upon the whole, a happy man have found the world entertaining, and am thank lul to providence for the part al lotted me in it." Much depends on a man's surroundings, but more de pends on his philosophy. One poet says : 'The world is very lovely. Oh. my God. I thank Th.4 that I live." Another says : 'T would not live always, I ask not to stay Where'storm after storm grows dark o'er the way." Hryant writes beautifully about life and death, and lying down to pleasant dreams. Dr. Holmes pokes his irresistible humor at old age : "Knt now his nose is thin And it rests upon his chin Like a stall. And a crook is in his back And a melancholy crack In his laugh: Hut I know it is a sin For me to sit and grin At him here1 And it was. He should have risen up according to scripture and tipped his hat to the poor old man. Hut she bears are extinct in that region, and the doctor know it. Mr. Shake speare is somewhat sarcastic him self, for he makes Prince Hal say to Falstaff : "Are you not written down with all the characters of old age? Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing log, an increas ing corporosity? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every ! part about you blasted with anti quity?" j That is a vile slander upon the j throe score and ton of this genera ! tion. Look at the stalwart forms of J many of Atlanta's notable men who have long since passed the Kubicon, such as Dr. Alexander, George Adair, Chess Howard, Hod wine and Lawshe and big Jim Dunlap. "Dig Jim" says he is just the age of His- marck and Gladstone, the three great east living octogenarians and there is no melancholy crack in his laugh. George Adair is still a Scotch Irish man from away back, and if he hadent have fallen down stairs at the "Old Village School" show, would be taken for about three score and five, and no more. And Dr. Alexander is not even a sixty-live-year suspect. In fact, old age car ries itself better now than it used to. People take more pride in their per sonal appearance, especially the wo men. I was just thinking about a neighbor whose visits are alwa3-s welcome who comes with a smile and never says a bitter or foolish thing. She is said to be old, but she still is beautiful, and sits in her chair with the graceful ease of a young matron of the olden time. She has had trouble, but hides it in her heart, and is always calm and se rene. Would that we all could grow old as gracefully and give as much pleasure to those around us. Hut some folks are born to trou ble as the sparks 11 y upward, and I am one of them about these times. The old cow wanted grass, and it has all dried up, and so she broke into my potato patch and oat off all the vines; and the Colorado beetles got into another patch and just cleaned up all the leaves before I found it out; and the dog scratched a bed between the madeira vines and the wall of the veranda, aad some of them are dying-, and it hasent rained enough in nine weeks to run in the road, and my garden has dried up. and the city fathers won't let me ir rigate any more because water is j getting scarce. The penalty is ! line, but the mayor told me confi- dentially that I might irrigate on j the sly, but I musent be caught at j it. Like the negro preacher told his ! congregation that they must never I be cotched stealing chickens. So, nQW whon j stcal waU,r y d(( u dark. ly, at dead of night, with one eye on the hose and the other on Sandy ..... . .. U lkle, the waterman. Hut my comfort now is in nursing : and amusing our little grandchild, i Her mother lias gone off on a fishing , excursion for a few days to rocuper j ate her health, and she gave me the child. I say gave her to me because ' she loves me better than anybody, j and that makes her grandma jealous j and Hatters my vanity, and satisfies I me that T am neither old nor ugly, ! nor is my voice broken nor a melan choly crack in my laugh. In fact, I ! can still sinir "Hu.-h Mv Dear" and ;.T, ,,;., T..1..W.,..-' .."wi, tr.5,.t i melody to put the little darling to : sleep.

I'n-ss-Viit.ir. About four weeks. ago it will bo re membered that Mr. Thad Pleasants, the Seaboard engineer, who was so badly scalded in the wreck at Manly, X. C, had his left hand amputated above the wrist to check a case of mained, especially at the end of the amputated member. Mr. Pleasants complained when asked by his friends and family how he felt, and he inva riably remarked that his thumb pain ed him. He said that his hand was drawn and that his thumb was in an uncomfortable position, giving him much annoyance. Mr. Pleasant's friends laughed good humoredly wdien he complained of his thumb, for they knew that his hand was buried in the back yard. Mrs. Pleasants, however had been more- considerate of what her hus band said about his hand. She heard him say one day last week that his thumb was drawn out of position and was clinched by the other fingers on his hand. That evening Mrs. Pleasants went gently out in the back yard and dug up her husband's amputated hand. When exposed to view, there was the hand just as her husband de scribed. The thumb was held tight by the other fingers. Mrs. Pleasants straightened the fingers and -released the thumb. As soon as she en tered the room Mr. Pleasants said that his arm had quit paining him and that the tendons in his own arm felt free again. Then it was that Mrs. Pleasants told what she had done. Mr. Pleasants has had no more trouble with his arm since. A Greenville woman wants to be divorced from her husband, Have Morris, because the latter failed to provide her with sufficient snuff and tobacco. Some time, ago the one-voar-oi.l child of Mr. M. K." Lindsley, of Franklin Forks, Ia., had a very severe attack of colic. She suffered great pain. Air. Lindsley gave her a dose of Chamber lain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Keniedy and in ten minutes her distress was gone. This is the best "medicine in the world for children when troubled with colic or diarrhoea. It never fails to effect a prompt cure. When reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant for them to take. It should be kept in every home, especially .luring the Sum mer months. For sale by M.

Business during the)ast week has continued dull. The seasonable in disposition to trade has been in creased by the evidences of unsatls faetory industrial conditions dis closed by the shut-down of textile mills and to some extent also by the Silverite clamor at Chicago. Busi ness men, however,- have not been seriously alarmed by the deliver ances of the Silverite Convention, which had been anticipated; and the action of the financial markets has indicated no belief in the ultimate success of the movement for free coinage and the repudiation of na tional and individual obligations which has received the indorsement of the new political aggregation at Chicago. There is a strong feeling of confidence among the larger fi nancial interests and on the business exchanges that the cause of Sound Money and the maintenance of pub lic and private credit will receive the overwhelming support of the American people; and when the ex citement incident to the first an nouncement of the new political alignment shall have subsided busi ness is expected to resume its nor mal progress toward the betterment which usually follows the ingather ing of the season's crops. Business failures during last week, according to R. G. Hun & Co., numbered 213 in the United States and oO in Canada, against 233 in this country and 33 in Can ana during the corresponding pe riod last .year. Cotton prices have been fairly sus tained by favorable foreign advices, which indicate a comparatively good demand from English spinners and prospect of early and "free buying from this country by exporters. Ex cept in Texas, where the crop has suffered from insufficient moisture, the outlook for the growing cotton is gent-rally very encouraging. The Federal crop report for July shows a decline of 4.7 per cent, in the gener al average condition of the crop as compared with the June estimate; but the average of 02.3 is 10.2 per cent, higher than that given a year ago. The curtailment of cotton goods production has had little ef fect as a stimulant to demand for staple goods, although there is rath er more steadiness in prices. Buy ers, however, have been very con servative, ami the transactions in all lines have been mostly in small lots. Grain prices have been alternately higher and lower, under the influ ence of conflicting crop advices; but fluctuations have been within nar row limits, and the net result 01 tlie week's trading has been a decline of to I of a cent per bushel in wheat and a similar concession on late fu tures in corn. Receipts of wheat from the Northwest have continued largo, and the movement of corn to primary markets has been on an in creasing scale, ltie crop auvices 01 the week have been uuiformly favor able concerning corn, but from some sections a. little disappointing as to the yield of Winter wheat and less encouraging for Spring wheat. The falling off in the average condition of Winter wheat last month, according to the July report of the Federal Department of Agriculture, was 2.3 per cent.; but it is still 12.1 per cent, higher than that reported a year ago. The average for Spring wheat is G.'J points lower than it was on June 1st, and S.D per cent, below the July average in 1803; but it is still high at S3.3 per cent.; and the present condition has been exceeded but three times in the last ten years. The area planted in corn this season is 1.3 per cent, less than that planted last year, or 81,000.000 acres; and the condition of the crop, although not so high as it was a year ago, is better than it was in 1SS3 and about the same as in 1891, the two seasons of great crops prior to 1SD3. Crop conditions abroad have continued fa vorable, and average harvests are in dicated throughout Europe. Specu lation in domestic markets has de veloped very little activity during the week, and export business in wheat and corn has been of moder ate volume. The movement of hogs to packing centres has fallen off; but it is still much larger than it was during the corresponding period last year, and the excess for the season so far has been 833,000 head. This heavy gain has maintained a downward tenden cy 01 values, ana cutcago prices have declined 22 cents per barrel on pork and 13 to 23 cents per 100 pounds respectively on ribs and lard. Current rates for lard are nearly 2 cents per pound lower than they have been for twenty-seven 3-ears.
