Here it is.: . “ He who waits to do a great deal of nood at once will never do anything. Life is made up of small things. It is “hut pnee in an age that occasion is of fered for doing a great deed. True greatness consists in being great in lit* • tie things. How are railroads built ? By one shovel of dirt after another ; one shovel at a time. Thus drops ke the ocean. Hence we should yfca- i; ng to do a little good at & time, wil*- wait to do a great deal of and never If we Wou }<i much good at once. *L we m ust be willing good in the ! sv ° v 'jm things, little acts one after a . there, and setting ‘here, giving a time.

A. on are cross in the morning:, cross in toe evening,, and .cross all day ; cross when yo'u'go out and cross when you come in ; cross to your wife and cross to your children,, and cross to every body; crcss'when you go to •bed,-and cross even in yqursleep; and your friends wait in fear lest that.in*, formal passion shall’ continue through life and be “ strong in death.” . Your character is k nown -and road of all nj.cn. ■ Jt leaks oiit or-spills over con tinually, ami there is no use jn-atteuip* ting to - cimoiil the matter. * Nov? we intend hi this discourse to touch'only on-one single development of your dis position', viz : its relation to business, to your prosperity ; and ‘• leave your minister ta give you othfcr necessary I Gospel teaching. Wo will begin this, k ventilation by remarking—. .Ist. Tliht cross men are usually <lc | spiced by evevy body. •2d. That croes men are’ a’tways-in. vrant of fraud’s. . 3d. That cross men can’t depend upon ‘permanent, prosperty, dtb. That cross men, when in trou ble, tire left alone and let alone, and “are ot‘all men miserable/’ ‘sth.

J n. 'view of this subject we vetriue | Tirther'to .say; .that when you speak, l cross to your partners you are makTn-g j a muss generally, which will have a j .•tendency to reducc inaterlal-lv the prof- • cits of yotfr. business, and render your ; sucacMS* more difficult; when you speak j cross to your clerks, you discourage, ; inflame, and prejudice them, so ‘ that very soon they, will care little for you. !or any of your concerns ; ■ when you ; Upcnk cross to a customer, even if he t is u a reasonable and deserves it, . you. disgrace yourself, and* do wrong which cannot'easily he repaired. He will not •forget it if you dp, and flic worse the man is and .the more he.’ deserves it, the more he will abuse*you. Wherever and whenever you are cross, you damage and belittle your self, and all peaceable men will make tracks, give you wide berth,’ get out. of ; sight, and instinctively shun you as ; they would a wild elephant. * ‘ . Lastly, *no money can compensate [you for the loss of a good or even a’ ! tolerable disposition. Therefore, don’t i indulge a had temper. Yen may be a Rothschild, or even a . Croesus, yet if you are £ chronic cross man, you will be a poor beggar—a poverty stricken fool —without a crumb of solitary com ., i * y • ‘’ i fort upon which to satisfy jthc craw* ings of poor human nature. Your partners, your clerks, your customers, and the public generally, ■ including your poor dog and cat, will breath.eas ier when you die and are out of the way,, unless you reform. Will you make the experiment ? Begin then t with a smile. Follow that smile with * a firm resolution to - persevere . to ‘the ‘ end; Let what will come, keep your, tecuper. If you can't restrain* your* self, sing, sing loud. • Try Old Hun dred, Hear, or even Yankee Doodle. If that don’t answer, seek the open air, and roar at the wind. Try your” lungs with a nor wester, an-d give us a ! record of your experience. Goto Ni i agara Falls, and, amid the thunder ! ings of that mighty cataract, give us a I .trial of your uttermost capacity that j shall ever after satisfy you.
