~ a - ae A Social Bosinsss Man.

One young business man in New Yerk has succeeded in making himself valuable to his employers im a peculiar way. He started in mercantile life with a firm that has a large number of employees, and the indications were that progress along the ordinary lines of the business would be very slow indeed. It was only by accident that an opening saddenly came which made this particular man almost indispen- sable to hisemployers and the recipient of a salary proportionately large. The firm of which he is a member happens to have important social relations with many of its large customers who live in different | cities over the United States. There is scarcely a day that does- not bring one of these customers to call on the firm. One day this young employee was called upon

to attend to such a visitor, and he did it with a tact and completeness that showed - his inborn aptitude for such transactions.

Gradually other duties were handed over to him, and before a long time had passed he was relieved from of work in order

to what might be called the sosial end of the firm’s business. His salary has been raised several times in view of the eapable manner in which he attends to these trans- actions and takes the burden off the prin- cipals in the business. He represents the members of his firm at fanmerals, weddings and all social functions, traveling some- times to remote points for the purpose, and as his utility to his employers grows daily greater they hold him im proportionately higher esteem. His case was one instance in which certain unusual talents asserted

from the ability to fill a particular aphere capably.—New York Sun.

Drink Plenty of Water.

The Washington Star quotes a physician as follows: ‘‘A great majority of the cures effected by drinking the waters of the fashionable and unfashionable medicinal springs in yarjous parts of the country would have resulted ff thesame amount of plain, wholesome, everyday water was drunk by the peaple who rush to these springs, and while there drink from 8 to 20 large glasses of their waters in a day. Whether there are any medicinal virtues in the waters, this treatment does them good, on account af the extra washing cut they give themselves, and itis the water instead of the constituency of the same that does the werk. The same people #f at their homes would pass many and many a day withont drinking one glass of water. It is in my opinion the water that sures, and it is water that is needed.’’

BETWEEN THE DAY AND DARK.

There is an hour when lovers’ quips Their studied cadence miss.

There is an hour when lovers’ lips Lean trembling to a kiss.

There is an hour when lovers’ ears. To lightest whispers hark—

The hour whose mystery endears— Between the day and dark.

The day is all too garish white, The night too dull and blind. The day's wide eye is large and bright; The night’s cold eye unkind. The day is made for listening, ‘ * The night is cold and cark, __ But 'tis the hour when love is king—= Between the day and dark.

The day ie spied by honey bees And pricked with feathered wings. The night awakes on every breeze The chirp of woodsy things, But when the night ag yet is still And day is lying stark, Then love goes wandering at will— Between the day and dark. —Post Wheeler in New York Presa,

™ PLAIN’ RULES FOR SPELLING.

Ttie- Use of the Letters “ei” and “ie” ¥p -

Different Words.

The spelling of words in je and ei causes ® great deal of trouble in the world, and I have thought it would be useful if a form. ula could be got up which should cover al) such words in am easily remembered jin- gle. Such a rule would perform the same sort of service asthe ever useful ‘Thirty days hath September. ’’

The object of the jingle Ts to state every ease in which the ‘‘e’’ comes before the. ‘“4."" Imallother eases the ‘'i’’ comes first. It thus becomes a very easy matter when in donbt. to rum through the verses.and de- side at ence what the spelling in any case is. The rule may at first seem mixed and not plain. But it teeasily understood, and & person who commits it to memary never need have any further trouble on the score of eierie. It is simply to be noted that there are five cases in which ‘“‘e” comes before: ‘4 i or

First.—When the sound is long ‘‘a”’

Second.—When the sound is long “4,””

Third— After the letter ‘‘o.’’

Fourth.—Whepn, with four exceptions, the sound is short.

Fifth.—tIn a list of 12 words not includ- eG in the above four cases.

In all other cases ‘‘i’’ comas before “te,”

When sound is like long a or i, Or after letter o;

Save mischief, kerchief, friend and sieve, e When like short i or e.

In either, neither, seignor,, seize, Obeisance and in sheik,

Inveigle, leisure, weir and weird, In teil, and also cleik..

Reasonable pains have been taken to make the rule comprehensive, but as there is a chance that some exceptions have failed to be noticed, a few remarks may be necessary.

First.—It is understood that the rule does not apply to words ending in ie, to participles in ied, or te plurals in ies. These hardly give trouble in spelling.

Second.—Thcreare a great many Scotch words in ei which are pronounced long ‘‘e,”’ but many of them have variant forms, and I judge they would hardly be used by an American unless he were copying from a book. I have, however, included cleik, as it is in use as a golf term.

Third.—Fiery forms a possible exception to the long “‘i’’ rule, but Webster and Worcester make it a three syllabled word. Pied is evidently a participial form.

Fourth.—There is, of course, no call te include derivatives from those words in the list, though such words as seigniorage and seizin are not perfectly obvious,—C. H, Ward in New York Times.

SPECTACLES. —

EE es

Over twenty-five years I have been in the Spectacle bus- inoss and during that time have fitted hundreds and hundreds of persons. Some had put off getting glasses so long that they could not see a large 4 inch letter A without going within 2 or 3 feet of it, and might have gone blind if they had put off getting glasses much longer. Others have been fitted or rather misfitted, with wrong glasses by travellers, and charg- 2d a great deal more than they ought to have been. This year our traveller, Mr. C. H. White, intends calling on par- ties at their homes in the country, to test eyes and show sam ples of our goods. Should he eail on you Il bespeak for him your favorable consideration, and any order you may give him will be filleé as soon as possible and guaranteed by me. Glasses can also be exchanged at the store, CAMERON Buock,

oar if after a trial they do not prove as satisfactory as you Wish,

There are which cannot be benefited with glasses; but how many con- tinue to suffer with eye troubles, who, if they would use spectacles properly fitted, would be entirely cured? Try us for satisfactory
