ISLAND, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1879.
The Basis of Good Credit.
A good character is the corner stone of the foundation upon which credit rears it- self. It deals with the moral, inielleciual and financial ability of every man. To be deticient in any one of the qualities that go
|to make up the perfect man of business is | , @ | to weaken in a certain degree one’s credit. | perhaps, ** hard of hearing,” 4. | Every act of a man’s life needs to be guard | to hear Her Majesty's re warks distinctly, ® ‘ed in order that failings in one direction dv , he came close to her, dragsing a chair after !not render void excellencies in another. | him, and having made hunselt cozy by her One wrong act in mature life has closed the |
career of thousands of men, many of whom | wade their names famous in the: world’s history. A man may be personally | unpopular, yet possessed of a credit so high that his record is held up as a pattern for men to follow. Those things are generally the most valuable that develop slowly, and nothing more so than a good credit. The essentials are not difficult to acquire. They are within easy reach of every maa, and in- clude such homely and coimmon traits as : -
Common. honesty.
Truthfulness.
Temperance in ali things.
A right use of one’s income.
A due regard for your neighbor.
There follows a whole train of minor qual- ities that combine to exert a powerful influ- ence in determining the credit and position of the man. :
Energy, promptness, civility, activity, at- tention to details, correct methods, celerity of action, having something to do, and do- ing it with a will; all combined build up and strengthen a good credit. It is not es- sential to success that a person act the part of a hypocrite, or indulge in falsehood in social or business life.
Show is an enemy of good credit except where it becomes a well-established fact that it is supported by an ample income. Credit is extremely sensitive and takes alarm at the very appearance of evil. If there is a lack of proper attention to busi- ness;a putting off until to-merrow what should be accomplished to-day; a habit ac- quired of making excuses; engaging in busi- ness operations outside of one’s legitimate pursuit; associating with dangerous men either in social or business life, credit be- comes at once suspicious,
Temptations beset every man’s pathway, aud none leads more people astray than the desire to grow rich in haste. Thousands every yearare drawn into and d>stroyed by the whirlpool ef speculation. ‘ihe pru- dent men never risks more of his capital than he can lose without becoming crippled. The men who have become famous as de- faulters appreciate the demands of credit and skilfuliy conceal their wrong course by a hypocritical style of living that deceives their associates. Oftentimes the world is dazzled by the success reached by unscru- pulous men in acquiring fortune, butif we watch the career of such it will be noticed that they either close disastrously, or lose their standing in the community.
Every action, every word of a business man should be guarded. There is no ex- cuse for carelessness regarding matters ef every day life. They all exert an influence upon the character and credit. Not only is it a duty we owe to ourselves, but society demands that we should regard the claims of our neighbor.-- Monetary Times.

The Daily Life of Her Majesty.
—
The Queen leads a very quiet, and yet a busy life, and few great ladies find time to compress so many occupations into a day- ‘time as she does. She breakfasts at nine, ‘lunches at two, and dines at eight. From three to five she generally drives or walks out ; but the remainder of her honrs is de- voted to State business, study, or corres- pondence with members of her widespread family. ~All the Queen’s private letters are written in Englisk, not in German, as many think; and, in fact, German is so little spoken among the royal family that even when the Crown Prince of Germany comes over he speaks English at Court Jike his wife’s relatives. The Queen reads al! the daily newspapers, and the proprietors of the Daily Telegraph, with the vein of toadyism that distinguishes them, print several copies of their journal for the royal palaces on special paper. The Queen’s devotion to state affairs is well known, and her inter- vention in them, particularly when religious questions are involved, is not at all half- hearted. She also exercises her own dis cretion very freely in the appointment of Bishops and Pura. Dr. ‘fait was nomi- nated by her tu the See of Canterbury be- fore Mr. Disraeli had recommended any-
‘one; and about ayear previously her Ma- i jesty had flatly refused to bestow a mitre
on Dr. Wordsworth, owing to the protests which this divine had emitted when Dr. Stanley was made Dean of Westminister. A little later she consented to appoint Dr. Wordsworth to the See of Lincoln, but rather as a compliment to his scholarly at- tainments than out of any feelings for his views as a Churchman. As to peers, the Queen, anxious to preserve the prestige of the nobility, has made it her rule never to ennoble men of small fortune unless they were persons of fairly advanced age, having nosons, On a certain occasion, when ad- vised to raise to the peerage a diplomatist more ambitious than wealthy, she replied pretty shrewly: ‘‘1l should be rendering im a poor service;” and the diplo- matist had to be content with the ribbon of G. C. B. I have just alluded to Dean Stanley. He is, of all divines in the Church of England, the one whom the Queen likes best as a preacher, and this liking is backed by a strong personal re- gard. During the lifetime of Lady Augusta

Stanley, Her Majesty was a frequent visitor at the Deanery, and there on several occa- sions inet Mr. Carlyle. Mr. Cariyle (who, by the bye, refused the Grand Cross of the Bath at the same tiie when Mr. Tennyson declined a baronetcy) is no courtier, and his unsophisticated manners more than once amused the Queen. One day, being and wishing
side, proceeded to questinii ‘icr as to her historical likes and dislikes, instead of wait- ing till he was himself questioned. Lt should be mentioned in connection with these visits to the Deanery that whenever the Westminister boys hear of them they used to troop out and pray thal a half-holiday might be commanded for them, a petition which was always complied with—London Truth.
il dicen tate Pleuro-Pneumonia.
The Minister of Agriculture moved with some promptitude in the matter of the cattle disease. He has written the follow- ing to the American Bureau of Agricul- ture :—
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, ) Ottawa, Canada, Jan. 31, 1878. 5 Sitr,—Professor McEachran, who had the honor to have an interview with you while re- cently in Washington, has reported to me the prevalence of the cattle disease called pleuro- pneumonia in several parts of the United States, at the same time that a cable mes- sage from the agent of this department in Liverpool informed me of the slaughtering, on their debarkation at that port, of a cargo of cattle afflicted with the same disease bought in the United States. In view of the very serious consequences both for the farming in- terests of the United States and Canada, and of the present and future of the cattle trade with Great Britain, I have thought it my duty to inform you that, although such a step is en- tered into with a great deal of reluctance on our part, the Dominion Government is about to take measures to prevent the introduction of this fearful disease in Canada, and I beg to be permitted to request from you the kindness of informing me of any measure adopted by your Government for the stamping out of the said disease. The interests of the two conn- tries being almost identical in the question,and both countries having been exempted from the slaughtering clause of the English ‘‘ Con- tagious discase (animals) Act of 1878,” you will see at once the advisability of the two governments being made aware of each other's action in so important a matter. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J. H. Pops, Minister of Agriculture.

With the exception of a fever, which she suffered when a child, she had no serious iliness ‘during her life, and, until two years ago, could read and even thread a needle without the aid of spec- tacles. It is four years ago since she was out of the house, but her health continued good until a few weeks ago, when she

An Anecdots of McMahon.
Mahon noticed a young lieutenant, who had just graduated at St. Cyr, leaning pensive and timidly against adoor. He went up to him and asked: ‘Do you not dance?” ** Indeed I do not. asked a lady to dance with me, and she re- fused point blank.” ‘‘ Point her out to me.” When the Marshal saw who she was, he said : ‘‘ See here, young man, you must look around and find out people's standing if yondon’t want tostumble. You must nof, unless you are acquainted with them, ask wives of marshals to dance with you. The lady asked is Mme. de McMahon. She never dances, but for this once I am going to ask her to dance with you.” The Mar- shal went up to her, related this incident, and the next quadrille she danced with the young lieutenant, he blushing like a bride.

Mx. Spurgeon, yielding to the earnest solicitations of the majority of his flock,has consented to take a vacation of three months, to be passed at Mentone, France. The ‘‘ Spurgeon Bazaar” has closed with a receipt of about $32,000. The movemert while professedly started to compliment Mr. Spurgeon, has resulted in the securing of a permanent source of comfort and hap- piness to several aged and deserving people. Mr. Spurgeon declines to accept a penny, and the funds will be invested for the bene-
fit of those needing help.
