See a Snow
We never did; but we huve
seen the clothing at this time
of the year so covered with ^
dandruff that it looked as if it
had been out »n a regular snow
storm.
No need of this snowstorm.
As the summer sun would
melt the falling snow so will
melt these flakes of dandruff in
the scalp. It rocs further than
this: it prevents their formation.
It has still other properties:
it will restore color to gray hair
in just ten times out cf every
ten eases.
And it does even more: it
jg, feeds and nourishes the roots
of the hair. Thin hair becomes
thick hair; and short hair be
comes long hair.
We have a book on the Hair
and Scalp. It is yours, for the
asking.

Washinuton, July ‘Jll.—Integrity Aud
trickery in liuslness life form the sub-
J»fct of Dr. Talmage’s sermon today,
anti the contrast tie establishes be
tween the two is a striking one. The
text Is l*roverbs \x, II: "It Is naught.
It Is naught, sailh the buyer, but when
he is gone his way then lie boastelh.”
Palaees are not sueh prisons as the
world imagines. If you think that the
only time kings and ijneons come forth
from the royal gates is In procession
nml gorgeously attended, you are mis
taken. Incognito by day or by night
and clothed in citizetTs apparel or the
dress of a working woman, they come
out and see the world as it is. In no
other way could King Solomon, the
author of my text, have known ev
erything that was going on. From my
text I am sure he must, in disguise,
some day have walked into a store of
ready made clothing in Jerusalem ami
stood near the counter and heard a
conversation between a buyer and a
seller. The merchant put a price on a
coat, ami the customer began to dicker
ami said: "Absurd! 'That coat !s not
worth what you ask for It. Why, just
look at the coarseness of the fabric!
See that spot on the collar! Besides
that, it does not tit. Twenty dollars
for that? Why, It Is not worth more
than $10. They have a better article
than that and for lower price down at
CTothoui, Fitem & Bros. Besides that,
1 don’t want It at any price, flood
morning.” "Hold!” says the mer
chant. “Do not go off in that way. 1
want to sell you that coat. 1 have
some payments to make, ami 1 want
the money. Come, now, how much
will you give for that coat?” "Well,”
says the customer. "I will split the dif
ference. You asked $110, and I said
$10. Now, 1 will give you $15.”
"Well,” says the merchant, "it is a
great sacriliee, but take it at that
price.”
Then the customer with a roll under
Ids arm started to go out ami enter
Ids own place of business, and Solo
mon in disguise followed liini. He
heard the customer ns lie unrolled the
coat say: "Boys, I have made a great
bargain. How much do you guess 1
gave for that coat?” ‘‘Well,” says one,
wishing to compliment Ids enterprise,
"you gave $.”0 for it.” Another says,
"1 should think you got it cheap if you
gave $25.” “No," says the buyer In
triumph, "1 got it for $15. I beat him
down and pointed out the imperfec
tions until 1 really made him believe
it was not worth hardly anything. It
takes me to make a bargain. Ha, ha!”
oh, man, yon got the goods for less
than they were worth by positive
falsehood, and uo wonder, when Solo
mon went back to Ids palace and hud
put oft Ids disguise, that lie sat down
at his writing desk ami made for all
ages a crayon sketch of you, "It is
naught, it is naught, saitli the buyer,
but when ho is gone Ids way then he
boastelh.”
IltiMlneiiN Integrity.
There are no higher styles of men in
all the world than those now at the
bead of mercantile enterprises In the
great cities of this continent. Their
casual promise Is as good as a bond
with jdles of collaterals. Their reputa
tion for integrity is as well established
as that of Fetrarch residing in the
family of Cardinal Colonua. It Is re
lated that when there was great dis
turbance in the family the cardinal
called all Ids people together and put
them under oath to tell the truth ex
cept I’etrarch; when he came up to
swear, the cardinal put away Ids book
and said, "As for you, Fetrareb, your
word is sutflcient.” Never since the
world stood have there been so many
merchants whose transactions can
stand tin* test of the ten command-
incuts. Such bargain makers are all
the more to be honored, because they
have withstood year after year
temptations which have flung so many
flat and flung tlicm so hard they can
never, never recover themselves.
While all positions in life have pow
erful besetuienls to evil there are spe-
eitic forms of allurement which are
peculiar to each occupation and pro
fession, and It will be useful to speak
of the peculiar temptations of business
men.
First, ns in the scene of the text,
business men are often tempted to sae-
riticc plain truth, the seller by exag
gerating the value of goods and the
buyer by depreciating them. We can
not but admire an expert salesman.
See how he llrst induces the customer
into a mood fuvorahlo to the proper
consideration of flic value of the
goods, lie shows himself to be an
honest and frank salesman. How care
fully the lights are arranged till they
fall just right upon the fabric! Be
ginning with goods of medium quality,
lie gradually advances toward those of
moro thorough make and of more at
tractive pattern. How he watches the
moods and whims of ids customer!
With what perfect calmness he takes
(lie order and bows (lie purchaser from
Ids presence, who goes away, having
made up ids mind that lie lias bought
the goods at a price which will illow
him a living margin when lie again
sells them. The goods were worth
what the salesman said they were and
were sold at a price which will not
make It necessary for the house to
fall every ten years in order to fix up
things.
liilqilltoilM SlriitiiKi-niM.
But with what burning indignation
we think of the Iniquitous stratagems
by which goods are sometimes dispos
ed of. A glance at the morning pnpcrs
shows the Arrival at one of our hotels
of a young ineicliapt from one of the
inland chics, lie is a comparative
stranger in the great city, and, of
course, lie must lie shown around, and
It will be the duty of some of our en
terprising houses lo escort him. He Is
a large purchaser and Inis plenty of
tinic mid money, and it will pay to lie
very attentive. The evening Is spent
at a place of doubtful amusement.
Then they go hack to (lie hotel. Hav' r
iug Just come to town, they must, of
course, drink.
A friend from the same mercantile
establishment drops in, and usage and
generosity suggest that they must
drink. Business prospects are talked
over, and the stranger Is warned
against certain dilapidated mercantile
establishments that are about to fail,
and for siicli kindness and magnanimi
ty of caution against the dishonesty of
other business houses of course it is ex
pected they will ami so they do take
a drink. Other merchants lodging in
adjoining rooms find it hard to sleep
for tin* clatter of decanters, and the
coarse carousal of these “hail fellows
well met” waxes louder. But they
sit not all night at the wine cup. They
must see tin* sights. They stagger
forth with cheeks flushed and eyes
bloodshot. The outer gates of hell
open to Id in the victims. The wings
of lost souls flit among the lights, and
tlie steps of the carousera sound with
the rumbling thunders of the lost.
Farewell to all the sanctities of home!
Could mother, sister, father, slumber
ing in the inland homo, in some vision
of that night catch u glimpse of the
ruin wrought they would rend out
their hair by the roots and bite the
tongue till the blood spurted, shrieking
out, ‘‘God save him!”
(■Hthi-rluic Curses.
What, suppose you, will come upon
such business establishments? And
there are hundreds of them in the
cities. They may boast of fabulous
sales, ami they may have an unprece
dented run of buyers, and the name of
the house may be a terror to all rivals,
and from this thrifty root there may
spring up branch houses in other cities,
and all the partners of the Arm may
move into their mansions and drive
their full blooded span, and the fami
lies may sweep the street with the
most elegant apparel that human art
ever wove or earthly magnllicence ever
achieved. But a curse is gathering
surely for tiiose men, and if it does not
seize hold of the pillars and in one wild
ruin bring down the temple of com
mercial glory it will break up their
peace, and they will tremble with sick
ness nml bloat with dissipations, and,
pushed to the precipice of this life,
they will try to hold back and cry for
help, but uo help will come, and they
will clutch their gold to take it along
with them, but It will be snatched
from their grasp, and a voice will
sound through .their soul, “Not a
farthing, thou beggared spirit!”
And the judgment will come, and
tiny will stand aghast before it, and
ail the business iniquities of a lifetime
will gather around them, saying, "Do
you remember this?” and “Do you re
member that?” And clerks that they
compelled to dishonesty ami runners
and draymen and bookkeepers who
saw behind the scenes will bear testi
mony to their nefarious deeds, and
some virtuous soul that once stood
aghast at the splendor and power of
these business men will say, "Alas,
tins is all that is left of that great linn
that occupied a block with their mer
chandise and overshadowed the city
witli their influence ami made right
eousness and truth ami purity fall un
der (lie galling lire of avarice and
crime.”
While we admire and approve of all
acuteness and tact in the sale of goods
we must condemn any process by
which a fabric or product Is represent
ed as possessing a value which it real
ly does not have. Nothing lint sheer
falsehood can represent as perfection
boots that rip, silks that speedily lose
their luster, calicoes that immediate
ly wash out, stoves that crack under
tin* first hot tiro, books Insecurely
bound, carpets that unravel, old fur-
nlture rejuvenated with putty and glue
and sold as having been recently man
ufactured, gold watches made out of
brass, barrels of fruit, the biggest ap
ples on the top, wine adulterated with
strychnine, hosiery poorly woven,
cloths of domestic manufacture shin
ing with foreign labels, Imported goods
represented as rare and hard to get
because foreign exchange Is so high
rolled out on the counter with match
less display. Imported, indeed! lint
from the factory in the next street.
A pattern already unfashionable and
unsalable palmed off as a new print
upon some country merchant who has
conic to town to make his llrst pur
chase of dry goods and going home
with a large stock of goods warranted
to keep,
'IVstn Tlmt Won’t Stnml.
Again, business men are often tempt
ed to make the habits and customs of
other traders their law of rectitude.
There are commercial usages which
will not stand the test of the last day.
Yet men in business are aid to do as
their neighbors do. If the majority of
the traders in any locality are lax In
principle, the commercial code iu that
community will lie spurious and dis
honest. It is a hard thing to stand
close by the law of rigid when your
next door neighbor by his looseness of
dealing is enabled to sell goods at a
cheaper rate and decoy your customers.
Of course, you who promptly meet all
your business engagements, paying
when you promise to pay, will Und it
hard to compete with that merchaut
who Is hopelessly In debt to the im
porter for the goods and to the land
lord whose store ho occupies and to
the clerks who serve him. There are
a huudred practices prevalent in the
world of trnllic which ought never to
become the rule for honest men. Their
wrong does not make your rigid. Siu
never becomes vl^ye by being multi
plied nml at brokers’ board
or merchants^Hjfhnugc. Because oth
ers smuggle a rew tilings in passenger
trunks, beniuse others take usury
When men are in tight places, because
others palm olT worthless Indorse
ments, because others do nothing hut
blow bubbles, do not, therefore, lie
overcome of temptation. Hollow pre
tension und fictitious credit and com-
tuorcial gambling may awhile prosper,
but tlie day of reckoning comcth, and
In addition to the horror and con
demnation of outraged communities
the curse of God will come blow for
blow. God’s law forever and forever
Is the only standard of rigid und
wrong and not commercial ethics.
Young business man, avoid the first
business dishonor, and you will avoid
all the rest. The captain of a vessel
was walking near the mouth of a riv-
qf when the tide was low, and there
was a long stout anchor chain, Into
one of tlie great links of which Ids foot
slipped, and it began to swell, and lie
could not withdraw It. Y’lie tide began
to rise. The chain could not lie loos
ened nor tiled off In time, ami n sur
geon was called to amputate the llnih,
but before the work could lie done the
tide rolled over the victim, and Ids life
was gone. 1 have to tell you, young
man, that Just one wrong into which
you may slip may lie a link of a long
chain of circumstances from which
you cannot lie extricated by any In
genuity of your own or any help from
others, and the tides will roll over you
as they have over many.
ItijclitcoinuicfiM lt«‘\x
Again, business men are sometimes
tempted to throw off personal responsi
bility. shifting it to tlie institution to
which they belong. Directors In banks
and railroad and insurance companies
sometimes shirk personal responsibili
ty underneath the action of the cor
poration. Aud how often, when some
bunking house or financial institution
explodes through fraud, respectable
men In the board of directors say,
“Why. 1 thought all was going on in an
honest way, and 1 am utterly con
founded with this demeanor!” The
banks and the fire and life and marine
insurance companies and the railroad
companies will not stand up for judg
ment in the last day, but those who
in them acted righteously will receive,
eacli for himself, a reward, aud those
who acted the part of neglect or trick
ery will, each for himself, receive a
coudcmuat ion.
ITilawful dividends are not clean tie-
fore God. because there are those as
sociated with you who grab just as big
a pile as you do. He who countenances
the dishonesty of the Arm or of the
corporation or association takes upon
himself all the moral liabilities. If
tlie tii aueial Institutions steal, lie
steals. If they go into wild specula
tions, he himself is a gambler. If they
needlessly embarrass u creditor, he
himself is guilty of cruelty. If they
swindle the uninitiated, lie himself is a
defrauder. No llnaneial institution
ever had a money vault strong enough,
or credit stanch enough, or dividends
large enough, or policy acute enough to
hide the individual sins of its mem
bers. The old adage that corporations
have uo souls Is misleading. Every
corporation has as many souls as it
lias members.
Again, many business men have
been tempted to postpone their enjoy
ments and duties to a future season
of entire leisure. What a sedative the
Christian religion would be to all our
business men if, instead of postpon
ing its uses to old age or death, they
would take it iuto the store or factory
or worldly engagements now! It Is
folly to go amid the uncertainties of
business life with no God to help. A
merchant in a New England village
was standing by a horse, and the horse
lifted bis foot to stamp it in a pool of
water, and the merchaut, to escape the
splash, stepped into the door of an In
surance agent, and the agent said, "1
suppose you have come to renew your
lire insurance?” “Oh,” said the mer
chant, “I had forgotten that!” The in
surance was renewed, aud the next
day the house Hint had been insured
was burned. Was it all accidental that
tin? merclmut, to escape a splash from
a horse’s foot, stepped into the insur
ance office? No; it was providential.
And what a mighty solace for a busi
ness man to feel that things arc provi
dential! What peace and equilibrium
In such a consideration, and what a
grand thing if all business men could
realize it!

Adjournlutf Joys.
Many, although now comparatively
straitened in worldly circumstances,
have a goodly establishment in tlie fu
ture planned out. They have In imag
ination built about 20 years ahead a
house in tlie country not difficult of
access from the great town, for they
will often have business or old ac
counts to settle or Investment's to look
after. The house is large enough to
accommodate all their friends. The
halls are wide and hung with pictures
of hunting scenes and a branch of
antlers and are comfortable with
chairs that can be rolled out on the
veranda when the weather is invit
ing or set out under some of the oaks
that stand sentinel about tlie house,
rustling iu tlie cool breeze and songful
with the robins. There is just land
enough to keep them interested and its
crops of almost fabulous richness
springing up under application of tlio
best theories to be found In tlie agri
cultural journals. The farm is well
stocked with cattle and horses and
sheep that know the voice and have a
kindly bleat when one goes forth to
look at them. In tills blissful abode
their children will be instructed In art
and science and religion. This shall lie
the old homestead to which the hoys
at college will direct their letters, aud
the hill on which the house stands
will he called Oakwood or Ivy Hill or
Flcasant Retreat or Eagle Eyrie. May
the future have for every business
man here all that and more besides!
But are you postponing your happi
ness to that time? Are you adjourn
ing your joys? Suppose that you
achieve all you expect—and that the
vision 1 mention Is not up to the reali
ty, because the fountains will lie
brighter, the house grander and the
scenery more picturesque—the mistake
is none the less fatal.
What charm will there lie in rural
quiet for a man who has for 20 or 10
years been conforming his entire na
ture to tlie excitements of business?
Will flocks and herds with their bleat
and moan he able to silence the in
satiable spirit of acquisitiveness which
has for years hail full swing In the
soul? Will the hum of the breeze
soothe tl e mau who now can liud his
only enjoyment in the stock market?
Will leaf and cloud aud fountain
charm the eye that has for three-
fourths of a lifetime found its chief
beauty In hogsheads and bills of sale?
Will parents be competent to rear their
children for high and holy purpose if
their Infancy aud boyhood and girl
hood were neglected when they are
almost ready to enter upon the world
and have all their habits lixed aud
their principles stereotyped? No, no;
now is the time to lie happy. Now Is
tlie time to serve your Creator. Now
is the time to be a Christian. Are you
too busy? I have Known men as busy
as you are who hud a place Iu tlie
store loft, where ihey went to pray.
Some one asked a Christian sailor
where he found any place to pray in.
(to sal^i, "1 can always flud a quiet
place at masthead.” And In the busiest
day of tlie season, If your heart is
right, you can tiud a place to pray.
Busy thoroughfares are good places to
pray In as you go to meet your various
engagements. Go home a little earlier
ami get introduced to your children.

Show yourself greater than your busi
ness. ,
Rplrltnul DcfnIcm<Ion.
Again, business men are often tempt
ed to let their calling Interfere with
the interests of the soul. God sends
m«‘ii into tlie business world to got ed
ucated, Just as boys are sent to school
and college. Purchase and sale, loss
and gain, disappointment, prosperity,
tlie dishonesty of others, panic and
bank suspension, are but different ios-
so!is in the school. The more busi
ness. the more means of grace. Many
have gone through wildest panic un
hurt. ‘‘Are you not afraid you will
break?” said some one to u merchant
iu time of great commercial excite
ment. He replied, “Aye, I shall break
when the fiftieth Psalm breaks in the
liftoenth verse, ’Call upon me In the
day of trouble, and 1 will deliver
thee.’” The store and the counting
house have developed some of the most
stalwart characters. Perhaps, origi
nally they had but little sprightlinoss
and force, but two or three hard busi
ness thumps woke them up from their
lethargy, am! there came a thorough
development iu their hearts of all that
was good aud holy and energetic and
tremendous, and they have become the
front men iu Christ’s army, as well as
lighthouses in the great world of traf-
fte. But business has been perpetual
depletion to many a man. It lirst pull
ed out of him all benevolence, next all
amiability, next all religious aspira
tions, next all conscience, and, though
he entered Ids vocation with large
heart aud noble character, he goes out
of it a skeleton, enough to scare a
ghost.
Men appreciate the importance of
having a good business stand, a store
on the right side of the street or in
the right block. Yet every place of
business is a good stand for spiritual
culture. God’s angels hover over the
world of traffic to sustain and build up
those who are trying to do their duty.
Tomorrow if in your place of worldly
engagement you will listen for it you
may hear a sound louder than the rat
tle of drays and the shullle of feet and
the chink of dollars stealing into your
soul, saying, “Seek ye lirst the king
dom of God aud his righteousness, and
all other things shall be added unto
you.”
Yet some of those sharpest at a bar
gain are cheated out of their hiiinortaI
blessedness by stratagems more palpa
ble than any "drop game” of the
street. They make investments in
things everlastingly below par. They
put their valuables lu a safe not lire-
proof. They give full credit to influ
ences that will not be able to pay one
cent on the dollar. They plunge into a
labyrinth from which no bankrupt law
or “two-thirds enactment” will ever
extricate them. They take into their
partnership the world, the flesh and
the devil, and the enemy of all right
eousness will boast through eternal
iig<'S that the man who in all his busi
ness life could not lie outwitted, at
last tumbled iuto spiritual defalcation
aud was swindled out of lioavon.
Perhaps some of you saw the tiro in
New York in 1825. Aged men tell us
that it beggared all description. Some
stood ou tlie /housetops of Brooklyn
aud looked at the red ruin that swept
down the streets and threatened to ob-
liternte the metropolis. But the com
mercial world will yet be startled by
a greater conflagration, even the last
one. Bills of exchange, policies of in
surance, mortgages and bonds and gov
ernment securities will be consumed
in one lick of the flame. The bourse
aud the United States mint will turn
to ashes. Gold will run molten into the
dust of the street. Exchanges and
granite blocks of merchandise will fall
with a crash that will make the earth
tremble. The flashing up of the great
light will show the righteous the way
to their thrones. Their best treasures
in heaven, they will go up and take
possession of them. The toils of busi
ness life, which racked their brains
and rasped their nerves for so many
years, will have forever ceased. “There
the wicked cease from troubling, aud
tue weary are at rest.”
