_ BETTER THAN GOLD.
BY FATHER RYAN.
Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and title a thousand fold,
Is a healthy body and mind at case.
And simple pleasures that always please.
A soul that anotherTs joy can ~know,
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers is better than gold.
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in-an humble
- sphere,
Doubly blessed with content and health,
Untried by lusts and cares of wealth,
Lovwly living and lofty thought -
Adorn and ennoble a poor manTs cot,
For mind and morals in natureTs plan
Are the genuine tests of a gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
Of the sons of toil when the labors close.
And the balm that drops on his slum-
bers deep,
Bring sleepy draught on the downy bed
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
The toiler simple opiate deems
A shorter route to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realins of books can find
A treasure surpassing Australian ore,
And living with the great and good of
yore,
The glories of empires passed away;
The worldTs great dream will thus unfold
And yield a pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is a peaceful home
Where all the fireside characters come,
The shrine of love the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife.
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavenTs decree,
The blessings that never were bought
or sold, :
And centre there are better than gold.

Do not run down competition. They
may deserve it ever 80 mfich, but you
will find it to your advantage to say as

People usually misjudge what you say

only natural that any clerk will be more
likely to take pride in his work and. use
every effort to please his employer when
he finds that he appreeiates his services
and is considerate of his interests.
Be sociable in your store. Be in-
tensely respectful to everybody, rich and
poor alike. As far as possble take an
interest in those who are buying. Ifat
any time you become acquainted with
them, show yourself eager and anxious
at all times to be of service to your cus-

~iMwenty-five dollars for the knob
te ate of a front door may seem
a bit of extravagance, but in
| these days of high art in furnishing
a good deal more than. that.can be
spent for hand chased and gold plat-
ed bronze knobs from special de-
\signs. There aré hundreds ~of pat-
~terns of ~high priced door fittings,
and it is very easy to select knobs,
hinges, lifts, escutcheons gnd other
fittings of the doors and windows of

Polishing and hand chasing make

the niceties of casting have been de-

that some plates and other articles
need only to be cleaned: with sand

finishing some of. the metal is,
through the fumes of acids, danger-
~ous for the ~workmen; but in the

such valuable improvements on ma-
