Iver since the pronounced decree that " by the sweet of a men’s brow shall be out,” there has been an unâ€" suspended effort by the majority of mankind. to skirk the responsibility upon the shoulders of other people. The desire to eat of the fat of the land witheut physical labor is uni- versal, and upon this one desire I find that the general run of the human mind is emphatically unani- mous. Furthermore, riches alone can render that desire a certainty. Hence we see that he who toils the hardest is the one who denies himself" the most. He who is already far ahead on the road to wealth gradually 10050113 his purse-strings at the de- mand of luxury. Gradually, I say; that is, as the purse fills, the opening slowly increases in dimension. It was this desireâ€"inborn, as he believedâ€"that led Matthew Bernard to abandon the half-pay of a mer- chant's clerk, and seek for wealth in the earth ; to become an ngriculturist in reality, a farmer in deed. “is ex- perience I will relate, that it may assist some and decide others in the course they choose to pursue for the accummulation of money. “ Yea, I have done so, and am now looking out for a chance at something uite different” answered Matthew. ‘1 1 “ Well, Mat, I hear that ~you have thrown up your position in Yard- stick’s store,” remarked Harry Thomas to Bernard, on the street. “ What in particular have you in View 1’ ” “Think I shall go upon a farm,” was the smiling answer. “You may laugh as much as you please, Harry, but that is the conclu- sion 1 have reached,” answered Ber- nard; and the look of determination on his face convinced Harry there was more truth than fiction in his friend’s docisive words. “Well, if that be so, then I must say that I wish you much cannon and pleasure delving through the summer’s heat and winter's snow. But; Mantpardon me if I speak plaiu1y~I can’t; help thinking you are making a fool of yourself.” “N0 apology, Harry. I know well enough you mean right if you do in- dulge in torso terms; and as for be- ing a 1‘00], I think that l have sense enough to see that I can do better at twenty dollars per month on a farm than I can at twenty-five in a store.” “Probably so,” answered Thomas, rather doubtlully; “possibly not. In mercantile business one has a chance of advancement; but a farmer’s man is only a. clodâ€"hopper all his life.” “ Oh, no! they are rich und'him all their work done. They spend their time as geptlemen, making farming a more pastime." “ Think you that Horsford 01' Ever- son are clod~hoppers?” asked Mat, us a smile passed over his counten- anco. “And yet I heard Even-on say, a few days since, that; be commenced as a boy at five dollars a month and worked hls way up,” calmly answer- ed Bernard. “Then your mind is set on that line of business, while mine is bent on going through the one I am now in. Perhaps I may have to stand at the counter all my lile; but we will sec about that some other time,” said Thomas. “ When ? ” asked Mat. “ If we both live, meet me in five {Imus to compare notes," answered arry. “ Well, five years henée we will HAMMERING IT THROUGH.

RICHMOND HiLL, ONTARIO, CANADA. FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1873 Yet in ‘all these years the confidence his employer had of his upright and steady attention to business was never mentioned to any one. Closely had he watched the ways of his clerk, and while he saw many things that did not suit- the fastidious tastes of an elderly man, he would quietly declare in his mind that “ boys will be boys," and so seldom intruded ad- vice to the one who sorely needed it. However, there \ 'ns one thing he did that showed in more than words the business opinion he entertained of Harry’s tact in being the best sales- men in the townâ€"he gradually in- creased his wages .until theyewere sufficient for every needl'ul 'wunt, leaving a margin for savings. Four years had passed iiway since the two friends, Harry and Mat, had agreed to compare notes at the gm: of the fifth, and iu" alll5 't‘his’_ n‘ 6 Harry had not lost sight of his de- sire t0 outrival ‘ his friend. The years had not accumulated much. although there was a balance in the hands of his employer. So, sitting upon the counter ono stormy day, when but few customers called, he became absorbed in a column of figures that he had pencilled upon some wrapping paper. 80 intent was he, that he did not notice the entrance of his employer, who stood with his back to the stove, closely watching Harry; but he soon advanced to Harry, saying :-’“ Thomas, how long have you been in my employ? ” Many offers of easier employment and better wages were held out to Thomas, with a view to induce him to change his then situation, but; all in vain. “I am satisfied as it is,” was his solo reply. And' so the months rolled into years; yet he kept plodding on, with some appar- ent object in viaw that he alone know 01. “About five years, sir,” was the quiet answer, as he looked up from his calculations. The days lengthened into weeks the weeks run through months; and Thomas steadily applied himself to the never-ceasing round of a clerk’s or salesman's duties. Yards «)1 mus- lins, silks, prints, threads, needles and all the thousand articles usually kept in a prosperous country store, passed through his hand with monoâ€" tonous round. Sinirks for the gaudi- ly-dressed ~customers and hurrying olf with the more humble. Uniform courtesy to all won the good opinions of the many, until it became a gen- eral remark that Harry Thomas was the best salesman in the small county Village of Linton. “ Then you do not wish my ser- vices longer, I understand you to my '1 ” queried Hurry, with a 11'011101' in his voice. “Five years is about as long as I would like to keep one clerk.” “Sir?” queried Harry, while 11 shadow pasmd over his face as though a. dread communimtion had been given him. “I said five years was long enough for one person to clerk in this house,” coldly answered Binning, tho mer- chant. ' â€"â€"I might do something with my small capital that might increase it somewhat-and more, I have an en- gagement with a. friend to meet him in a few months now, to see which is the better business for a man to fol- low-â€"t0 show the difference between the accumulations of a merchant’s salesman and a farm laborer and 1 wish to outbalance him,” replied Harry, with a, smile. “No, I did not exactly say that. I wish to know if you have saved more of your wages than are now in my hands.” “ I have just been casting up to see how I stand, sir. I had a vague idea, not yet fully formch @hatupqrbaps “Well, Thomas, I too have been figuring, and I see I have paid you a trifle over twenty-three llunured dollars since you came here.” “Yes, sir; and out of that I have saved about; nine hundred.” “That is fairly done; still I can- not help thinking it might have been more," replied Binning. Matthew Bernard was an orphan dependent upon his own energieq for support. Harry Thomas could boast of parents in independent circum- stances but not Wealthy. They mov- ed in good society, and had their sphere of social influeucc. PART II.-â€"-HAi".RY THOMAS, FIVE YEARS “Just what I am trying to get at, and cannot yet see how I can do much better than I have. If you can show me in what way I can save a greater average than 1 have already done, I shall feel gl'euly thankful for the in- formation.” “I do not know but you have done well enough upon your wages; but I have thought you might so invest it as to. bring- in a littleâ€"I mean, make your money earn something for it- self,” was the merchant’s anmver. “Place it at interest, or how ed Harry. cauit the balance, but remain friends as of old, in the interim.” “ Certainly; good day.” “Good day," answered Barnard. And the two friends entered upon their diverging roads to wealth. each with a be e and desire to excel the other's ba ance sheet. ask- In Dublin I first visited Shops on the other side of the water, and the very first thing that. strikes an Ameri‘ can ii the promptness with which he is served, the civility with which he is treated, immense assortment and variety oi‘goods and the elfort of the salesman to do everything to aceom~ modate the purehasor. They seem to say. by their actions, “we are put here to attend to buyers’ wants; to serve them, to wait upon them, to make the goods and the establishment att active, to sell goods, and we want to sell goods.” 0n the other hand, in our own country, the style and man- ner of' the clerks are too often that of' “ I’mjust as good, and a little better, than youâ€"buy, if you want, or leave â€"we don’t care whether we sell or notâ€"it‘s a oondescension to inform you of our prices; don‘t expect any attention.” The variety of goods in the foreign shops is marvellous to an American; one pattern of color not suiting, dozens of others are shown, or anything will be made at r. few hours’ notice. Herein Dublin are the , great Irigh poplin manufactories, and, in these days of higher prices hardly‘ any American lady leaves Dublin i without adress pattern, at least, of this elegant material. The ladies of my party, were crazy with delight over the exquisite hues, the splendid quality and the low price". Notwitle standing the stock, the hue to match ; the pattern a lady had in her pocket‘ was not to be had. “We can make you a dress if yor can wait, madam,” said the polite shopman. “ of exactly the same color as your sample.” “ We can deliver it to you in eight or ten days.” “How long will it take you to makeit?” “O, I shall be in London, then,” said the lady. ” That-makes no diii’erence, madam. We will deliver it to you anywhere in London, carriage free.” And so, indeed it vas delivered. rl‘he order was left, sent to the factory by the shopman, and at the appointed time delivered in London, the lady paying on delivery the same rate as charged for similar qualities of goods at the store in Dublin, and having the enviâ€" able satisfaction et'showing the double l p0 31in that was " made expressly to or er”â€" one dress patternâ€"in Dublin. I mention this transaction to show what pains are taken to suit the purâ€" chaser, and how any one can getwhat he Wants abroad it he has the means to pay. This is owing chiefly to the different way of doing business, and also to the sharper competition in the old country; For instance, the ’a- eifie Mills of Lawrence, Mass, would never think of opening a retail store for the sale of their goods on \Vash- ington street, Boston ; and, it'un Eng- lish lady failed to find a pie ot‘, goods of the color that suited her, of manufacturing sixteen or eighteen yards to her order, and then sending it free of express charges to New York. The qualitity and variety of goods on hand. are overwhelming; the prices in comparison to ours, so very low that I wanted to buy a ship- load. Whole stores are devoted to specialities~â€"the beautiful lrish linen in every 'ariety, Irish bogwood ear"- ing in every conceivable form, braee~ lets, rings, figures, necklaces, breastâ€" pins, 29;. I visited one large establish- ment where ever y species of dry goods, fancy goods, haberdasheryand, I think, everything but ezttables, were soldâ€"“three hundred and fifty sales- men were employed, the proprietors boarding and lodging a large number of them on the premises.

There is a small country store at: the Point, seeking a purchaser, and 1 be- lieve your nine hundred will enable you to effect a purchase. If you can do so, I am willing to aid you some- what in getting started.” “I will consider the subject, sir,” was Harry’s quiet answes as the merchant turned away. “Invest in some business, and go on in your own responsibility.” “Nine hundred will not go far after paying the necossary expense of fitting up,” modestly replied Harry.

We admire punctuality, and We can have but little patience with those persons who are so regardless of it, even in little things, as to continually break their word, under the impres- sion that “It is of no consequence, it will all be understood and amount to the same thinsr in the end,” as many often say, to excuse their everlasting habit of being false to their word. There are some people who seldom or never do as they promise. They hub- it'uate themselves to promise anything and everything, without the least thought 01‘ fulfilment. We could name some persons of this sort, who in other respects are worthy people; but they cannot command confidence, because their word is not regarded.

Ono evening he visited a lady, and as he removed his overcoat, 010., in the hall preparatory to entering the parlor, the lady overheard him utter the fol- lowing words. Taking his overcoat and hanging it' up, he said: “ Han, there, you fifty dollar overcoatl' Pulling otl' his gloves, and laying them on the table: “Lie there, you live dollar gloves 1 ” Placing his hat on the rack: ‘ Hang there, you ten dollar hatl ” Putting his came in the corner: “Stand there, you fifteen dollar 11110 H’ Then entering the parlor, he was about to sit down, when the lady pulled the chair from under him, and as she left the room Mild : “ Lie there, you two cent fool! " He has not been seen round that howe since. Irish claim originality in about everything, and certainly their no- tions of justice are odd enough. At Ballinakill quarter sessions, a short time ago, a woman named Ellen Moore, was indicted for having stolen a shawl. Evidence having been given in support of the charge, the jury re- tired to consider their verdict. After a considerable lapse ot'time one ot'tho jurors was observed to emerge from the room in which they Were confined, and to be about leaving the court. He was immedi::tely stepped by the deputy clerk of the peace, who asked him where he was going ? "Ah, hegor," replied the juror, “lwouldn’t stay there, they’re all boxiu' and fiightin’ inside.” Notwithstanding [his painful state of atfairs, the juror was ordered back to the room and a constable placed at the door to pre- vent the escape of any ofthe survivors ol’the fray. At last the prisoner was found guilty, and the verdict being delivered the jury were discharged, when one of them was heard to reâ€" mark, “Only 1 threatened to ‘lick' him he'd never agree.” The only ob- jection to the system of jurymen thrashing each other into harmony is that skill in the noble art of selt‘ode- fence \Vlll of course give immense ad- vantage to any juryman who may pessess it, and that weight and mus- cular development will also have con-. siderablo influence over their deliber- ations. Besides, there is the risk that after a long period of deliberation nothing may be loi‘tol‘ them but a few bones. From Achley, Town, last week ah- seonded Charles lieiiik, merchant. He took $4,000 with him, but he left also I a good deal behind him in the shape of a Wife, two children, and debts to the amount of $5,000. He has kindly written from Kansas City to say that his wife need not give “herself the slightest uneasiness, as it is his intenâ€" itimi never to return, so that matters inniy be considered settled if the debts lure net. These he requests his father- iu-law to pay out of his own pocket, which is about the c'oolest proposition i eve;- made to a father. '1‘ ho Danbury News wants to know, if you over saw a man fish around in the bottom of r. uh of water for a piece of soup. At the first he simply reaches Jown upon it to pick it right up, and is very much surprised to find that he hasn’t got it. ‘lhen ho approaches it more cautiously, put his hand over it, and then comes down noiselessly till he gets every finger about it, and then squeezes it tight, nndvâ€"nxisses it. He looks at it fora moment before making another efi‘ort, and fills up the interval with afew remarks. The third attempt is a sort of semi-circle, described with a great deal of sagacity, but is a failure. Other remarks follow. Then ho makes a succession of (lives and slops tho wa- ter over his clothes, and (lrenches the carpet, and, catches hohl of the soap sev- eml times, and lots go of it again, and scr sums at the top of his voice, and finally, in ’perfect despuir, sits down on the {loo ' and actually howls.
