Many of the commercial establishments of
our cities are giving to their clerks a mercan¬
tile education as thoiough ns Yale, or Har¬
vard, or Princeton, are giving scientific at¬
tainment to the students matriculated. The
reason so many men are foundering their iu
business from year to year, is became*

Ask these men high in commercial circles,
«nd they will tell you Ihev thank God for
this severe discipline of their early clerk¬
ship. You can afford to endure the wilderness
march if it is going to end in the vineyard* and
orchards of the promised land. But you say:
“Will the womanly clerks in our stores liave
promotion!” Yes." Time is coming when
women will bo as well paid for their toil in
mercantile circles as men witeti »re now paid lor

knew nothing of telegraphy, and they were
kept out of a great many commercial circles
where they ate now welcome: and the time
will go on until the woman who at one coun
ter in a store sells ten thousand dollars’ worth
of goods in a year, will get as high a salary
as the roan who at the other counter
of the same store sells ten thousand dol¬
lars' worth of goods. All honor to
Lydia, tlie Christian saleswoman. And in
passing, I may as well say that you merchants

Again I counsel clerks in this house to
starch out what are the unlawful and dis¬
honest demands of an establishment, and
resist them. In the six thousand years that
have passed, there lias never been an occasion
when it was one's duty to sin against God.
It is never right to do wrong. If the head
men disappoint of the them. firm expect “O,” of you say, dishonesty, ‘I should
lose then.” Better you lose place
than my place soul. But your will

aot lore your place. Christian heroism
is always honored. V 011 go to the
head man of your store, and s.iy: “Sir, I
want to serve you; I want to oblige you; it
is from no lack of industry on my part, but
this thing seems to me to be wrong, aud it is
a sin against my co.iscienoe, it is a sin against
God, and I ls*g you, sir, to excuse me. He
may flush up and swear, but he will cool
down, and he will have more admiration
for you than for those who sub¬
mit to his evil dictation; and
while they sink, you will rise. Do
not., because of seeming temporary advan¬
tage, give up your character, young man.
Under God, that is the only thing you have
to build on. Give up that, you give up
everything. That employer asks a young
man to hurt himself for time ami for eternity,

on a great many of our clerks, rn<l that is

as honorable as anv other, it lie con¬

this day, when there are so many rivalries in
business, al! our commercial establishments

no Christian objection merchants to that. But there the are week-night professed

ments exitect such things of them? Among
all things infernal I pronounce that
the most damnable. Young man, how
will that firm treat you when you
tire utterly deejtoiled. and dragged out with
sin, going through of the haunts of iniquity their for
the purpose getting customers for

will give you a pension! They will build you
a fine house! They will get you a horse and
carriage! Will they! No. intoxicated,Worn Someday you
will go to the store, shabby,
out in their service,and they will say: “John,
you are a disgrace to our house. Now,
just look at yourself. “Accountant, how
much do we owe this man!” “A dollar and
thirty cents.” “Well, now, here—here it is;
a dollar ami thirty cents. Go off. Don’t

Again: lectins! ull clerks fo conquer tha
tria’s of their pa* tieular position. One great
trial for clerks is the in consideration of custom¬
ers. There are people who are entirely po¬
lite everywhere else, but gruff and they dictato¬
rial aud contemptible buy when thing. There come
into a stole to any
are thousands of men and women who go
from store to store and price things, without
any idea of put chase. They are not satisfied
until every roll of goods is brought down and

amid a wreck of ribbons, and laves, and
cloths, to smooth out live hundred dollars’
worth of goods—not one cent of which did
that man or woman bti v or expect to buy.
Now 1 cnll that n dishonesty 01 tho part of
the customer. If a boy runs into n store, an 1
takesarollof cloth off the counter and sneaks
out into the street, you all join in the
cry pell-mell: “Stop thief!” Whin I

asked which class of persons most need tlie

say: “Dry goods clerks.” All the indignation

havo gone up. “How much is that worth!”
“A dollar. ” “A dollar! Outrageous. A

that it has got to be a dollar? Does the in¬
dignation go out to the manufacturers on the
banks of the Merrimac, because they have
closed up? No. Does the indignation his go out
toward the No. employer, It who is out the at clerk. coun¬ Ho
try seat! He c*mes levied on the taxes! He
got up the war!
put up the rents! Of course the clerk!
Then a great trial comes to clerks in the
fact that they see the parsimonious side of hu
man nature. You talk about lies l/ehind the
counter—there are just as many lies before
the counter. Augustine speaks of a man who
advertised that he would, on a cer¬
tain occasion, tell the people what
was in their hearts. A great crowd as¬
sembled, and he stepped to the front an l
said: “1 will tell you what is in your hearts;
To buy cheap and sell dear!” O, people of
Brooklyn! lay not aside your urbanity when
you come into a store. Treat the clerks like
gentlemen and ladies—proving lady. yourself Re¬
to be a gentleman or a
member, that if the prices are high and
your purse is lean, that it is no fault of the
clerks. And if you have a son or a daughter
amid those perplexities of commercial life,
and such a one comes home all worn out, be
lenient, and know that the martyr at the
stake no more certainly needs tha grace of
God than our young people amid the seven-
times heated exasperations of a clerk's life.
Then there are ail the trials which come to
clerks from the treatment of inconsiderate
employers. There are professed Christian
men their in this city who have no more regard for
clerks than they have for the scales on
which the sugars are weighed. A clerk is no
more than no much store furniture. No con¬
sideration for their rights or their interests.
Not one word of encourgement from
sunrise to sunset, nor from January to
December. But when anything goes wrong—
a streak of dust on the counter, or a box with
the cover off—thunder showers of scolding.
Men imperious, capricious, cranky towards
their clerks —their whole manner as much as
to say: “AH the interest I have in you is to
see what I can get out of you.”
Then there arc all the trials of incompetent
wages. Home of you remember when the war
broke out and all merchandi-e went up and
merchants were made millionaires in six
months by tlie simple rise in the value of
goods. DM the clerk get advantage of thut
rise!, Sometimes, not always, i saw estates
gathered of God in those times, over which the curse
has hung ever since. The cry of un¬
paid the men and women in those stores reached
I Mid of Sabaoth, nnd the in-
dignation of God bas been around
those estabUsliment* ever since; flashing rum¬ in
bling in the carriage wheels, the crimson
the chandeliers, glowing from
upholstery, thundering in the long roll of tho
ten-pin alley. Such men mav high, build but up pal¬

one hand on tlmt pill ir, and throw itself tor-

Then there are Imivb In establishments who

There are many young people in our cities

The Watarburv, Conn., Republican
says: A citizen on Monday entered a
store on one of our side streets and ac¬
costing the proprietor, said:
“lavish you would make out a bill
against me for $20 and give it to me.”
“But you don’t owe me anything,"
said the merchant.
“No, I don’t, but some one else owes
me $20, and I have very small hopes of
his ever paying me. Now you present
me wdth a bill and write on the bottom
of it that if I don’t pay that bill before
6 o’clock you will arrest me. I will take
the bill and go to the fellow that owes
me the money an T show it to him. I
say that. I must pay the (till before 6
o’clock or get into trouble. See ?” and the
citizen placed his forefinger along bis
nose.
The merchant tumbled, and soon the
required document was forthcoming. A
reporter who was present followed the
citizen out of the store and down the
street a short way, where he met the
man who owed him the money. The
long face that the citizen put on, and
the bill which he showed the other man
did their work, the bill was paid, and

Uvilla, W. Va., !
Nov. 17 , 1886 .
Recently I bought a
young horse. He was
taken very ill with Pneu¬
monia. I tried to think
of something to relieve
him. Concluded what
was good for man would
be good for the horse.
So I got a bottle of Piso’s
Cure and gave him half
of it through the nos¬
trils This helped him,
and I continued giving
same doses night and
morning until I had
used two bottles. The
horse has become per¬
fectly sound. I can re¬
commend Piso’s Cure for
the horse as well as for
man.
