Tlic (jiinicer Cake Trick in li

A well dressed stranger rushed
up to a crowded counter in tliis
city a few days back and called
for five ten cent cigars They
were supplied and the keeper of
the shop given a $20 4 note in pay
ment.
1 must have you change this,
said the customer, laying it down
The salesman complied by h».nd
ing him threess bills and $4 50 in
silver.
Stop a moment. Ssid ihe s'ran
ge! J I have a half dollar; take
that ai d give me back ilio S2O.- 1
don’t want so mueh change in my
pockets. With that he laid a half
dollar down along with the other
silver, but befote his request could
be complied wi'b, lie, a third time
changed bis mind.
It would suit me still better,
said he, if you would take this
$4.50 and my half dolhr and give
me $5 in j apei money instead, so
that I may have change for my
bill without lugging arouud all
that silver.
The clerk then gave the $5 iu
paper as desired and also pushed
the other three $5 bills, which
still lny on the counter, but that
worthy had again changed bis
in ind.
No, be said, afler pocketing the
first $5 note. I don’t believe 1
care for the change ; take it all
back and return my S2O bill. This
was done and the man turned to
leave.
Hold on, called the clerk, you
have $5 too much, I ihi ,k.
Didn't I pay you for the cigars !'
Yes.
Whats wrong then?’
I gate you a $5 bill.
Well, haven't you got $5 in nil

Yes but—
Very well. f?ood evening.
AndJLefore the puzzled sales
man could make sure of the exact
state of the caso the visitor was
gone.

The training of the conscience
or moral sense is the most delicate
aud important of nil tht duties de
volved upon the teachers of youth
The mere disposition to follow
and avoid wrong however sincere
and earnest it may be, is not all
that is required. The reason must
be brought to bear upon and di -
rect this disposition—in other
words the conscience must be
taught to discriminate intelligent
ly. It would be no exercise of
this sentiment to bid the pupil ah
stain’from vicious ac's because
they are practised only by the
mean, and are sura to bring down
odium on the perpetrators. That
would be an appeal to the pride,
not the moral sense. The argu
ment mnst be addressed directly
ly to the conscience.
