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 another’s 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 man’s cot, For mind and morals in nature’s 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 world’s 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 heaven’s decree, The blessings that never were bought or sold, : And centre there are better than gold. naeininenenrerermes coal ® TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS.

Make your store look busy. Do anything in your power to get the business attracts business, ‘People usually like to buy of a store that has progressive and up to date. If your store once gets the name of being the center of attraction in yout town it will it should get the name of’ not being popular, even though the goods. and prices in either ease might be iden- tically the same. The American peo- ple love success and are likely to trade with the store which has the appear- ance of being successful. Do not run down competition. They may deserve it ever 80 mfich, but you will find it to your advantage to say as little as possible about your competitor. People usually misjudge what you say about them. They will. either think you are running them down because you aré jealous of their business, because they are getting the best of you or that you are afraid to say anything good. about them for fear they will: get some of your trade. Be kind to your employees. . Kind, ness wins on every occasion. It is} 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- tomers.

Many a man who has carved his fortune in this ‘city, hails the little country paper’ every week as a welcome messenger.’ It tells how the crops are flourishing, how the fences are being whitewashed every spring, and, perhaps, once.in a while there is a paragraph about the dear old mother, who has got into print. by en- tertuining the sewing circle.
