What a Verification we have 'had.°
the flying -capacity of riches in Weel
street! And Wall street is ore of the
longest streets in .the world. It does
not begin at the foot of . Trinity
church, New York, and end at the
Eitet river, as hinny suppose. It
reaches through all our American
cities and across the sea. Encouraged
by the revival of trade and by the
fact that • Wall street disasters of
other years were SO fat back as to
be forgotten, speculators ran up the
stocks from point. to point until in-
noeent people on the outside euppose
that the stocks would_ always -con-
tinue to ascend% .They• gather in from
all parts of the `4ountery. Large some
of money are taken into Wall street
and small gums of money. The crash
comes, thank God, in time .to warn
off It great many who were .on their
way thither, .for the- sadness of the
thing is that a great many of the
young men of our cities -who save a
little money for the purpose of siert-
ing th.emseives in business, and who
have $500 or $1,000 or, $2,00he or
et10,000 go into Wall street ant lose
all. And if there was ;ever a time for
the pulpit to speak out in rooted to
certain kinds of 'nefaxioue enterreses_
now is the tirne. ,
Stocks rose aoti fele, and now they
hegin to rise again, and they •
fall again until thousands of young
lima will be ruined- unless the print-
ing press and the:Pulpit give emphae
eic utterance. My cottneel is to coun-
trymen, so far as they may hear of
this discourse, if they have surplus to
invest invest it inmortgages and -in•
moneyed institutions whfeho though

A Problem Solved by Diu) Who Could Not
Afford Expensively lleund Books --
Standrd IVorks in Paper Covers Put
Up in Binding at Home Worthy of

"I've solved the problem at last
of having my book shelves present a
really neat appearance,' and prove
tonvenient as well, wi thout depend-
ing upon expensively bound books
forthis effect" It, was the book lov-
er of the "circle" who made this trie
umph.ant annou.uceneent, and we were
soon interested in her explaaation.

The Colony of Grenada.
The last °Mahal report. from Gren-
ada gives a satisfaetOrY account of
the coridition of the colony. The re-
venue of 1809 was larger than that
of any previous year and there was
a proportiobaLely large surplus. The
export of cocoa, the Main staple,
was very large, and this was one of
t he main .causes of the prosperityof
(he island, the other two being the
high price of cocoa in the foreign
markets and the coneequent large im-
portations of foodstuffs. Indeed, the
price of cocoa is the chief element in
the prosperity of Grenada. The fee
venue for the year in queetion was
.0O2,874 and the expenditure Z57,-
61 I; the total imports amounted to
Z210,788 and 'the exports to Z257,-
274. Of the exports cocoa was valued at. £234,610, while iMports to the.
