be built up. There will be fewer
millionaires and paupers: less grasp

more of the spirit of home.Tife and
more real homes.
A Sure Way to Success.
The way to make your town a
. blessing to yourself and every one
else and the finest and most inter
esting place to live is to push it.
talk it up. beautify its manufactured
1 products, speak well of its enter
prising men, and if you can't say som(l t-nnes iKlf the night and sing
something good, say nothing. Ifjmv Utile song until I wore it out,
vou have the means invest m some
thing: employ somebody, be a hust
ler. le sure and be courteous to
all visitors so that they may leave
our town with a good impression.
Always ho ready to encourage and
support new industries and you will
be rewarded by a prosperous and go
ah. -ad town.
Extend a hearty welcome and en
courage all who contemplate locat
ing among you as it takes people to
make a town. Never fail to have a

gest amount of cash to help along a j
business boom or a big day, which is !
alwavs a blessing to our business
men. Above all don't kick about
any necessary improvements because
it doesn't happen to benefit you as
much or more than it does anybody

your highest consideration and you
will always be liked and honored by
the whole community and your

A Word to ;irN.
flir's. you must remember that to
paint, draw, sing, play or dance are
all nice accomplishments, but you
must also recollect that in the
course of human events you may be
called upon to fill a sphere where
you can not paint eatable loafs of
"bread, allay thirst by a song, lull a
hungry man to sleep with a sonata,
no matter how well it id executed,
or dance your partner into good hu
mor if his desert was principally
dough. All accomplishments are
desirable, but none are more essen
tial than a practical knowledge of
household duties, this is one of the
essentials in your education that is
of primary, not secondary, import

Kill is Kiirlil (ihd That Women Love
Them so .Mui-li.
That wus a pretty Persian rhyme
which said :
"A new-horn child lay crying
While all around were smiling:
An aed man wasdyinu;
And peacefully was sinilini
While all arounil were eryinr."'
Sir William Jones put it in a bet
ter verse :
"On parent knees, a naked nev-horn
child
Lay weeping, while all around it smiled .
So live that, sinkimr in thv last lontr
sleep
Calm thou mays, smile while all around
1 hee weep."
What is more wonderful or more
beautiful than the maternal instinct,
what an attraction does a birth in
the family have for all the sex the
women and children, r';rl children T
mean the men and the boys show
no rreat concern. The babes would
have a hard and perilous time if en
trusted to them. I lubes are born
every day, every hour, by the thous
and. It is the most common and
universal event that concerns our
humanity. It is more common than
death, for more come into the world j
it looks like this was the first and
the last one that ever was born.
The three o-1Vat events of our life,
our birth and marriage and death.

What a
tered. too, by woman,
-ad affair would either be
without her presence, her care and
sympathy. The wonder is that she
can oo throuo'n the ordeal that prov
idence lias assigned her. and be so
contented, so calm and serene.. What
mother ever harbors oloomy fears or
forebodings about her infant child?
How hopefully they look upon the
future how happy in the love of
her offspring. The poet says :
"A mother is a mother still,
The holie-t tiling alive."'
And she is. I wish that I was as
o-ood, as true and as loving as the
average mother in this land. I wish
that I was as sure of heaven. Most
of them have a child up there, and
they still treasure every smile, every
dim Ie. every son,, and in their
walking dreams realize what the
poet so beautifully said :
"Oh. when a m it Iter meets on high
Tile liahe she I t ill infancy.
Hath she not then for pains and fears.
The day of woe, tin watchful night.
For all" her sorrows, all her tears
An overpayment of delight 7"'
The maternal instinct ! The never
fading love of children. My wife is
serenely happy now, for there is
anotjier child to look after, and she
moves around with her old alacrity.
I used to help her with her own, but
my time is out. As old man Cald -r
said after the first battle of Manas
sas, :T have tit enough." I used to
tote the little chap around the room
aiul at times 1 felt like the tired pa
rent who hugged his little boy to his
bosom and said : "I wouldn't take
a million dollars for you no I
wouldn't but I wouldn't give a nick
el for another." It is a weary busi
ness nursing and caring for a little
child. Hut it is a part of the bar
gain, and has to be done, and it lias
its rewards.' The more the father
helps with the children the better
he loves them and the more they
love him.
The country people, as a ruie.have
no nurses for their children except
the members of the family, and their
,i0VOfK)11 to the little helpless ones is
,.vill1:r1,1 Tll(, t,abv in a country
home is common property. All
nurse it and the father does his
share when he comes from the field.
Go to a country church on Sunday
and see how many fathers are not
ashamed to "tote the child"' and
koi.p it wll;i0 preaching is going on
Why shouldn't he? It shows his
love to the child and his loyalty to
his wife. The average farmer has
not a very wide field for his ambi
tion. He is not seeking fame or
office or riches. He has no long
ings for going to New York or Wash
ington or crossing the ocean. His
hope and desire is limited to his fam
ily and his farm, and he looks to
Cbid for rain and sunshine. There is
nothing that weans him from his
wife and children or that gets be
tween him and them. Sometimes he
takes the family to town in the big
wagon, and sometimes the children
go with him to the mill, and on Sun
days all go to meeting, and so the
weeks and months roll on proving
the truth of the poet's lines -
Happy the man whose ih and care
A few paternal acres hound."
It is given to but few men in this
world to do any great, but all can be
happy if they will be content with
their humble lot. I used to envy the
rich and great, but I do not now.
As a general rule grief and sorrow
are the perquisites of riches and of
fame. Great men are rarely blessed
with loving children. Not long ago
one of our noblest men found himself
face to face at Delmonico's with a
drunken son. His mortification was
intense and the lines of trouble still
linger on his face. The pressure of
public affairs and the constant strug
gle to keep up socially and political
ly consumed the time that should
have been devoted to his children.
In such cases . the mother is their
only safeguard. She may do all she
can, but she cannot watch her boys
when the' get in their teens. She
can love and pray and chide, but
still they will stray away.
It is pitiful to sec the breaking of
a mother's heart oyer a son who is
on trial for his life. How closely
does she cling to him when all the
world is against him. I remember
once a widow who sold her cow and
her little furniture and then went
from store to store begging for a lit
tle more money to take her to Ar
kansas to see her son who was in jail
for murder. Her devotion saved his
life, but not his liberty, and she was
thankful for she found some work
near by and could visit him in his
prison and comfort him with her
love and blessing. What an awful
thinLT it must be to have no one to
love you, and yet there are thous
ands of such in the prisons of the
land. Nothing was so touching in
Coventor Atkinson's aillietion than
his respite of a man who was to be
hung his tender thought while on
the brink of the grave of a poor
wretch who was begging for his life.
Dan Voorheos once hurried to a dis
tant State to defend a young man
accused of murder, and he saved
him for his w idowed mother's sake,
because her father had been good to
him when he was young and poor.
If we men do not have love in our
hearts like a mother's, we honor it
and respect it and admire it all the
more. . Him. A nr.

Keep Out oNMtt.
Every man who would get on in
this world should avoid debt, as far
as possible. From the very outset
of his career he should resolve to
live within his income, however
small it may be. The art of living
easily as to money is very simple:
pitch your scale of living one degree
below your means. 31 any a man
dates his downfall from the day he
began borrowing money. Avoid the
first obligation, for that incurred,
others follow, one necessitating the
other; then follow pretexts, excuses
and lies, till all s-mse of shame is
lost, the whole life becomes a failure,
and the debtor in despair finally re
solves to live by indirect robber
and falsehood. If you wish to suc
ceed in this world, and live a happy
life w ith a clear conscience, avoid
debt.

New York. July , ISO.").
Special Correspondence.
Business conditions continue sat
isfactory and highly encouraging, al
though a careful comparison of the
reports from various industries and
distributing markets indicates that
there has been during the last week
a slight slackening of activity in the
new operations of buyers. A par
tial lull in business has been due in
some cases to the inability of sellers
to meet immediate demands for
goivls; in others it has been ascriba
ble to the effect of previous heavy
purchases, which have tcmporarilj
filled the channels of distribution.
There has been no abatement of ac
tivity among the mills and factories,
except that occasioned by the carpet
trade strike in this city; and the re
ports of increasing railroad tonnage
and earnings show that the distribu
tion of products is of large volume.
The heavy payments through banks
disclose a degree of business activity
that is remarkable for the midsum
mer period. Recent returns of
bank clearings have compared favor
ably even with the big totals record
ed in July, 1S'J2, the year preceding
the financial panic. No causes for
discouragement have appeared.
Further shipments of gold in liquida
tion of importers' indebtedness
abroad have been recognized as an
exceptional development favored by
the high rates for sterling exchange.
While an 3 movement of this sort in
the season of light grain and cotton
shipments is a cause of some dis
quiet, there is general belief that
syndicate operat-ions will prevent
any serious depletion of the Treasu
ry reserve pending the revival of
merchandise exports, which may be
expected during the next three
months. The crop news, as a rule,
has continued favorable; and there
is, in consequence, a feeling of hope-,
ful confidence with regard to the fu
ture of trade, which is evidenced by
the expansion of demand for com
mercial loans and a hardening of
rates in this branch of the money
market. Business failures in the
United States and Canada, accord
ing to R. G. Dun it Co., during last
week numbered I'Oo, as against 20 a
year ago.
Liberal stocks of old cotton and
the absence of any cause for serious
apprehension concerning new crop
conditions have discouraged fresh
investment on speculative account;
and demand from spinners and ex
porters has continued light. As a
result of this hesitating trade, prices
have eased off one-eighth of a cent
per pound. There has been fair ac
tivity in the cotton goods trade, and
sustained strength in values. The
production of man' mills is still
largely under contract for future de
livery. Spring wheat crop prospects have
continued very encouraging in spite
of the efforts of speculators to make
them appear otherwise, and the re
turns of thrashing in the winter
wheat belt have indicated no need
for a reduction of previous estimates
of the yield. Unless present indica
tions shall be greatly changed, the
yield of spring wheat will be second
only to the great crop of lSfl. The
preponderance of favorable crop
news and the comparative apathy of
exporters have caused a drop of li
to 2 cents per bushel in the prices of
wheat, while corn values have reced
ed 1 i cents as aresult of freer spec
ulative selling encouraged bv the
prospect of the biggest crop on re
cord. The requirements of wheat
importing countries have been large
ly supplied by Russia, Argentina
and other countries than the United
States, although there has been a
moderate outward movement of
spring wheat and fairly sustained
exports of flour. Shipments of wheat
in this form comprise about half the
current outgo, as they did for the
fiscal year ended in June, when out
of the total exports of 14.,000,000
bushels r.7.000.000 bushels were in
the shape of flour. Farmers are re
reluctant sellers of wheat at current
priei'S, and the interior movement is
small. Visible stocks have again
declined, and are now 11,000,000
bushels smaller than they were a
year ago; but a check to this" decrease
of warehouse accumulations may be
expected shortly.
There is a fair foreign demand for
corn, and tha regular line steamer
shipments, combined w ith a steady
demand for home consumption, have
absorbed more stock -than has re
cently been coming on the markets.
Hence the visible supplies are being
steadily reduced, although they are
larger than they were a year ago.
The provision trade continues active.
