Will bring a kind angel to open the door?
Ah! search the wile world wherever you can,
There it no open door for the moneyless man.
Go look in the hall where the chandelier light
Driven off from iu splendor the darkness of night;
Whcfe tb# rich hanging velvet, In shadowy fold,
Sweeps gracefully down, with it* trimming of gold,
And mirrors of silver take up and renew.
In long lighted vistas the ’wildrering view ;

A welcoming trail*) for the moneyless man.

And punishes right while he justifies wrong;
Where jurors their lips on the Bible have laid,
To tenders verdict they’ve already made;
Go there in the court-room, and find if yon can.

Go look iu the hanks, where Mammon has told

Where, safe from the hands of the starving and

Lies pile upou pile, of the glittering ore ;
Walk up to the counter—ah, there you may s*ay,
Till your limbs have grown old and your hair tur. s

And you’ll find at the hank not one oi the clan,
With money to lend to a moneyless man.
Go look in your church of the cloud-reachin;

Which gives back to the sun his same look of fire,
Where the arches aud columns are gorgeous within,
And the walks seetn as pure as a soul without sin;
<io down the long aisle—«ec the rich and the great.
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly estate,
Walk down in your patches, and find if you can.
Who opons a pew for a moneyless man.
Then go to your hovel—no raven has fed.
The wife who has suffered so long for litr bread ;
Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the dcatli frost,
From the lips of the angel your poverty loat-
Tlien turn in y^uragony upward to God,
And bless while it smites yon, the chastening rod;
And you’ll find at the cud of your life’s little span,
There’s a welcome above for »he moneyless man.

extent of trade. You spoke of
our seeing the country. You’d
laugh if I told you that I never
saw Niagra Falls in niy life until
I was tlurtv-five years old, though
I had Been within two miles of it
hundreds of times. It is so. I
never had time. At last I was
ashamed’of it, and absolutely took
a day, and wrote the house I was
going, to the Falls on a spree. I
went there and stayed a couple of
ning to tbiuk of
0 see in Buffalo,
took tlie first train for that city,
and let the Falls go to pot; the
fuct is, when I am on business, I
can’t take any pleasure in fun. 1
scarcely know one plaee from an
other, except hy the business
houses in them, and as for scene
ry—the finest scenery 1 know of,
is a merchant calling at .your ho
tel two or three times before you
arrive, wanting to know ifyou
have'iit come yet, so he can buy a
bill of goods of you. ’
1IOW THEY LIVE.
'We do not stop at first-class
hotels, and we always get as good
accommodation as there are iu the
house. Why? Because we pay
our bills; because wc arc the big
gest kind of walking advertise
ment for a hotel, and the men
who know how to keep one, un
derstand that fact. Wc can send
hundreds of dollars worth of busi
ness to a hotel, or drive hundreds
away from it, simply hy report
ing to each other how wc are
treated. We get together in
smoking cars and iu our rooms at
nights, and detail every mean act
or petty extortion, and von bet
that landlords don’t make any
millions out of us by crowding!
Some of us have our regular
rooms—best family rooms, too,
wc occupy every month, for years,
and wc always get them, even-
time, uo matter who is in them.
The head wallers know us like a
hook, and so do the hoys; and
you bet we don’t get any tender
loin steaks or broiled chickens or
birds and tilings ! Oh, no ! they
ain’t for us ! "*
! Certain towns are celebrated
for their mean hotels. Provi
dence, R. I., was, until a few
years since; the meanest of all
mean hotels, eight.or nine years
ago, was the City Hotel. For a
place of eighty thousand inhabit
ants, it used to lie a wonder to us
why such a hole was in existence ;
but it was the only one in town
and we had to goto it. The boys
got so they used to do their busi
ness up in n day, and then go to
Boston, fifty miles off, and stay,
rather than sleey in town. I be
lieve it is better now. It makes
a mighty sight of difference to a
man who works twelve and four
teen hours a day, as wc do, talk
ing and walking all the time, what

For me, 1 get $3,. r >00, which is
fair, l consider, though I earn

good one to work for, that’s one
comfort. They never write me
scolding letters, blowing me up
when I have done 1113- best; but
thoy sav, ' Mr. Jinks. 3-011 have

SELLING goods.
* Our calling is our bread and
butter, and we have to cam it by
the hardest kind of labor. You
needn’t laugh, it is so. Business
of all kinds now-n-days, is done
tn* actual personal representation
and solicitation. A merchant has
certain kinds of goods which he
puts on the market; he adver
tises them ful^-, and then follows
up his advertisements by iris trav
elers, nnd rakes in all he can.—
Commercial travelers are more
numerous to-da3* in all lines, than
ever before. When you sec a
smart, active mau going from
store to store in suburban cities,
talking with the proprietor con
fidentially, and producing a hook
ill which he makes notes from time
to time, that man is a commercial

Big bill expenses! Well, that

rXTKCSTWOETHY TRAVELERS.
’ Black sheep in the business !
Certainl}-, there are ; just as mail}-
as in any other profession; and
they make so much noise, live so
much in the public eye, that they
get the whole ot us a bad name
sometimes, but that afl’ects us very
little. They don't get far; their
lareer is soon terminated. Thc
telegraph is too long now-a-days
and roaches too far for a nmn to
j cut up man}- didoes. First thing
lie knows, in one of iris drunken
sprees, somebody telegraphs or
writes to liis folks that their trav
eler has been drunk about town
for five or six days, and tiie}- had
better get him home, which they
do might}- quick. Then again,
there arc men who smooch fifteen
or twent}- dollars a week hy 1 op-
resenting they have been to such
and such places, when all the}-
ever did, was to talk to a mer
chant from town whom they met
1)}- chance on tiie platform of an
other place fifty miles a fray : they
charge traveling expenses all the
same, but such tilings are like all
otlier forms of human swindling
and dishonesty, found out sooner
or later. Then again, there are
men who pick up loose women
and go about lintels with theui,
thinking that nobody knows them
or tlicir company, lint they soon
get undeceived upon that point,
by hearing of it in many W113-9.—
Yon must not judge all travelers
hv the misdeeds of a few. for no
class of men work harder and
more faithfully, than they do.
DIGNITY OF THE PROFESSION.

know how to meet them. No
merchant ever tried to put on am"
airs with me, simply because I al
ways respect nnselt. It docs not
take long to see that. A good
mail}' men are sent out in driving

the road at all, and they get re
