RD OF THANKS.
e thanking the people of the
and surrounding country for the
uragement they have given us in
way of very liberal patronage, we
ogreto call their attention to a few
ets concerning our business methods
riot generally known. It has been and
fia our constant endeavor to turn out
rile very best class of work, and this
is -succeed in doing by using nothing
;loathe choicest materials and emyloy-
none but skilled workmen.
While doing this, however, we wish
Tit distinctly understood that the prices1
. barged are much lower than those
ekeretofore prevailing. Thisacro
is unt-
4d. for by theofact, that doing a much
lager business than our competitors,
we are satisfied with much smaller
margins. Machine madeharness at
say price -is dear, and when that is
7eonpled with poor material, you can
depend upon getting a harness that is
absolutely worthless. We manufac-
-ure the best harness front $10 up to

Stories of Absent -Minded People.
Lessing was subject to the most' extraor-
dinary fits of abstraction. On his knock-
ing at his door one evening the servant
looked out of the window to see who was
there. Not recognizing his master in the
dark, he called. out—" The Professor is not
at home." " Oh, very well," replied Le -
sing, " no matter, Pll call another time."
On another time, having missed money at
different times without being able to dis-
cover who took it he determined to put the
honesty of his servant to a trial, and left a
handful of gold on the table.. " Of course
you counted it ?" said one who knew him.
" Counted it ?" said Lessing, rather embar-
rassed, " no I forgot that."
The Rev. George Harvest, minister of
Thames Ditton, a great scholar and skilful
fisherman-, was a very absent-minded man.
He was engaged to a daughter of the Bishop
of London, but . on. the day of his wedding
being gudgeon fishing, he over staid the
appointed hour, and the lady, justly offend-
ed at his neglect, broke off the match.
With Arthur Onslow, the Speaker . of the
House of Commons, Mr. Harvest was on
terms of great intimacy. Being in a punt
together one day on the Thames, he began.
to read ,a beautiful passage from some Greek
author, and throwing himself back in an
ecstacy, fell into the river, whence he was
with difficulty fished out.
An absent-minded landlord called on a
tenant to condole with him on the death of
a valuable cow. The cause of its decease
had been enveloped in mystery, and while
it was being explained, the landlord, though
a kind and sympathizing person, went off
into the clouds. The last words of the
narrative were—" And can you believe it,
my Lord, when we opened her we found she
had been choked, by a large turnip that was
sticking in her gullet." Here the landlord
woke. up, and in a congratulatory tone of
voice observed, " Ah, yes, and so you got
your turnip ?"

Countr3r Life is Fashionable.
Elderly people can remember when the
swell society of this country kept its all the
year round house in the city. During July
and August it migrated _to the springs
mountains or seashore, and staid at hotels.
In course of time the richest families began
to have their own cottages at the springs or
seashores.
Next came the fad of having farms and
country places of their own, to which they
retired during the summer season, Gradu-
ally this season has become longer and
longer, beginning earlier and closing later.
Now it begins inMay and lasts till winter. It
is becoming popular for wealthy American
people to spend Christmas at their eountry
homes, English fashion. Now the country
has made one more step in the affections of
high life. Numbers of fashionable people
have their splendid homes in the country
altogeiher,someof them even giving up their
town residences or renting them. During
the fashionable winter season, beginning
January 1st, many society people hire mag-
nificent hotel apartments and remain there
till spring. That will be the way that so-
ciety will probably do in future, and society
is wise. If great balls or receptions are to
be given, they can take place in halls and
houses hired for the, occasion. Society is to
be cougt atulated on this growing love for
rural life.
Let's oftener talk of noble deeds
And rarer of the bad ones,
And eing about our happy days,
And not about the sad (neal
We were not made to fret and sigh,
And when grief sleepeto wake it ;
Bright happiness ie standing by—
This life is what we make it.
Let's find the sunny side of men,
Or be believers in it ;
A light there: is in every soul -
Tnat takes the pains to win it,
Ob 1 there's tr siumbering:r ood in all,
'And we, perchance, may Brake it ;
Our hands contain -the magic wand—
This lite le what we make it.
And here's' tre those whose loving hearts
Shed light and joy about them !
'Thanks be to them for countless gems
We ne'er had known without them.
Oh ! this should be a happy world —
To ail who may partake it :
The fault's our own if it is not— -:

And is her step as soft and low, her voice as
and mild,
And do you think shoji love me, too, your blind and
helpless ohild ?
Please, father,do not bid me come to greet your bride
to -night,
I could not meet her in that room, where darling
mother died.
Her picture hangs upon the wall, her books are

There stands the harp her fingers touched, and there
her easy chair.
That chair where by her side I knelt, to say my even-

do,
Then softly to my chamber steal, .my new mamma

On which they carted her simple words, " There are

and he is anything but an agree bI
chap to have °around. It is no wonder he
is discharged from his place. The only
wonder is he is not earlier out loose. In
many cases old men who have been in busi-
ness for themselves and have broken up be-
come clerks. They think being in business
for themselves, gives them superior know-
ledge and skill, whereas the fact is just the
other way. If they had -possessed superior
knowledge and skill, they would never have
failed.
The old employee -who does not become a
crank is seldom discharged. It is possible
to become more polite, sweet tempered and
tolerant of all mankind as one grows older,
and this is the lesson of life. It is possible
also to become wiser and more skillful in
business, thus proving more serviceable.
Old `people can always do' this and always
should. But if they do not they mustenot
blame employers and customers for prefer-
ring new blood and -good tempered young
people. .

Runaway Matches.
Speaking of the inclination of many girls
to run away and get married, in opposition
-to their parents' wishes, an elderly friend
says the trouble can be remedied easily
howto do it.

"I had to steal my wife," he remarked,
" and I afterwards found out how the old
folks fooled us. It worked" 80 will that
when my girls grew up I played it myself.
" Now there is Emma ; she never would
have married as she did if she thought her
mother and I.wanted her to. I took a fancy
to Jim who is a likely fellow and wanted
him for a son-in-law. So I began to run him
down before Emma ; told her she musn't go
with him any more, and finally forbade him
coming to the house altogether."
" And what did she do ?" interrupted the
listener.
" She ran. off with him the next night,
just as I knew she would. I tied the dogs
up myself after dark to keep them -from
spoiling the fun. I played the same trick
on Mollie when William was coning to see
her.
" The night they went away, though, I
forgot about the • dogs, and Mollie dosed
every one of 'em for fethey'd bite Will
when he came for her. I got another good
son-in-law,but I lost every dog on the place.

He was the son of a worthy Manchester

His father was a brusque, matter-of-fact
man, who had no liking for anything pro-

his soh returned with the latest thing in
eollars,and various other insignia of a duke-
dom.. The old gentleman surveyed him
critically when he appeared in his office,and
than` blurted out, " Yoeng man, you look

Criticiusing Oiir Millionaires.
It is high time that we in this country
should cease pointing the finger of criticism
at those whose worldly means are greater
than ours, and heaping upon them the spirit
of malicious envy. We have reached that
point -where we even - seek to criticise our
e
millionaires when they buy yachts orgive
large social functions. During these de-
pressing times I have constantly heard peo-
ple complaining because Mr. Gould paid
$25,000 for a yacht ; because Mr. Vander-
biltover built two palaces costing him
millions of dollars, or that Mrs. Astor gave
a ball at a cost of $10;000. Pray, why
should they not ? What 'helps the coun-
try at large more than these very expendi-
tures ? If these people hoarded up their
money we should be far more justified in
criticising them. The more money that is
put into circulation in the country the bet-
ter it is for us all. Indirectly some of it
comes to each of us. I remember being at
a social function; the cost of which, I was
told, exceeded $20,000. Where did that
money go ? To the very people it should
go. The wealthy hostess had the enjoyment
of her money, but her tradespeople reaped
the real benefit from it. =Philadelphia Lad-

Deceiving the •Ladies.
The unceasing struggle for stipremacy in almost
every line of trade undoubtedly has a tendency to
make dealers resort to questionable methods of busi-
ness. Take, for instance, a line of high-class dress
goods like Priestley's, which has been brought to a
state of perfection and has attained popularity ev-
erywhere ; as soon as the ladiee insist upon having
these goods and no others, it is reported that some
merchants have even taken the ` varnished Board,'
Priestley's Trade Mark, out of the Genuine Priest-
ley's Black Dress Goods or Cravenettes and wrapped
inferior goods upon it for the purpcso of deceiving
the customer. Fortunately, however, an extra pre-
caution was adoptcd,by the manufacturers in stamp-
ing the name ' Priestley's' and the length on every
five yards, so that ladies who want these geode can
be sure they are getting them.
Old Fashioned Prayers.
New England preachers of a hundred
years ago were given to great plainess of
speech. One -of them, the Rev. Joseph Pen-
niman, while settled in Bedford, Massachus-
ets, and afterward, while pastor of the
church in Harvard, acquired no little repu-
tation for what the historian of Harvard
calls his "irreverent way of offering inform-
ation to the -Omniscient." At the time when
the British troops were advancing upon
Lexington, Mr. Penniman prayed from his
pulpit : .
' ° We pray thee, 0 Lord, that thou
wouldst send these British soldiers where
they will do some good, for thou knowest
we have no use for them about here."
During a season of drought he prayed elo-
quently thattthe Lord would " vouchsafe
that the bottles of Heaven May be uncorked
and their refreshing waters poured upon the
parched fields."
Soon the drought was broken. Day after
day the rain fell. The minister felt that the

is to thunt them off and secure young men
in their places. Old book-keepers, clerks
and mechanics complain bitterly how they
have grown gray in the service of a corpor-
ation, and have then been turned out like
an old horse to starve.
Doubtless the thing is hard, from their
standpoint. But it is their own fault, and
their fault -wholly. Take the matter of a
clerk in a shoe store or dry goods store. The
old fellow, thinks he has been, there so many
years that he owns the place and knows, it
all. Therefore he can' learn' nothing new.
For a customer to express dissent from his
opinion is an insult and not to be borne.
He has no patience with a customer who
does not take what he wishes to sell him.
Why should anybody not agree with the old
roan who knows it all 1 If in spite of his
knowing it all the customer declines to pur-
chase, then he is offended and vents his tem-
per on the customer. Who would not
rather be served by a pleasant faced, good
tempered'; good looking young man or
woman than by an told caank who know
it -all ?
