Do fall will coma mime; wid it you part.
Sposin' you WAR to fall ter day ;

To de Debbi' you'd go a gaily hooten.
In your wickedness you's been gwine 071
Eber sense de day chit you was born;
For kingdom come and glory g,in v. shout
Repent tar clay an den for heaben net out.
On Sunday morn to church yon go,

On dat new cloak you mads is sot,
Or to see de hat what Sister Jane is got.
W'at UFO is niggars got for velvet cloaks,
Dots cut out an made for firth white folks?
In dem you loolc des lak de crow,

How to Succeed 111 Wetness.,
Don't worry. Don't overwork,
Don't make the field too broad.
Be wary of dealing with unsuccess-
ful men.
Make friends, but don't encourage
favorites.
Reap down expenses, but don't bo
penurious.
Reap a high vitality. Sleep well,
eat well, enjoy life.
Stink to your chosen pursuit, but
not to chosen methods.
Don't tell what you are going to do
—till you have done it.
Enter your charges when the goods
are sold. Don't trait.
Make plans for a little way ahead,
MA, don't cast them in Iron.
Be oontent with small beginnings—
and be euro to develop them.
Don't take fresh rinks to retrieve
your losses. Cut them off short.
Be oantioua ; but when you makgis
bargain, make it quietly and boldly.
A regular system of sending out
bills and statements is more °Hoff ye
than spasmodie donning.
Kavo'a proper division of work, arid
neither interfere nor permit interfor•
once with your employees.
11 is better for your creditors to
postpone payment squarely than to
pretend to pay by giving a check dat-
ed ahead.
Look aftor your 'Iblotters"—aud all
books of original entry. ill litigation
