A grocer frleud bus taken '" with ua-not on bis own account, now er. for be h loh merit mid suc cess, but teou b ba fslled to trace the connection between the two. Ill" argument consisted ot eiample. awl be pointed out an lustance which be blteed practically upheld bla conten tion. He knew of a fellow merchant. Tbla nan la competent, honest and reliable. II haa met with burd fortuua at sev rai turna of the rond of life, and be baa been forced Into a sad and Irre trleTsble failure, lie bandll good that were pd. and he worked Ivird and with t t . : I - r:' " cutters mid iMiiu.iK- ii-un i d upon Mm. mid Ii.ii they lert tn hi in wasn't mii.

He know something, but not enough; be did something, but not all. Merit In etora la no balfway article. It goes the whole length of the course. It may seem barsb aud unfeeling to assert that be did not deserve to suc ceed, but we believe that be did not. for merit la alwaya followed by sue ceea and reward. The trouble with our crUle Is that be does not comprehend M:.n merit meuDS. Merit In mere hit n dlxnitf iiiCludea all that good merchan. dUum l.-West Coast Trade. FOR A SPOTLESS TOWN.
