If you have not read Barrie's "The

relish for the good, the true and the
beautiful, and haye any recognition of

ries around him. He is a born phoa
tographer in letters. His art too is
so fine, his portraits are so el ear, so
sharply eut, quite in the cameo way
if the pen ; is used instead of. the
sharper instrument. His style is
very distinct, and to us very charm
ing. It has a quaint flavor. Jt is
not the style of ;any other autnor,
living ordead. It is his own, quite
as much as gentle and lovable Charles
Lamb's style was his. If you can
read Scotch, and can enjoy the
finest touches of humor,! and the
p.'ayfullest touches bere'and.there in
the way of wise and aphoristic ob
servation you will love Barrie. We
began with his "Auld Lights." This
prepared us for the delightful "A
Window in Thrums," and now we
haye enjoyed "The Little Minister
as we have, no other novel of the last
few years .with perhaps ; the. excep
tion of "David Grieve." to which
however it bears no resemblance.
We would much rather have written
it than the nuch written about and
misrepresented ."Tess." Barrie's
story is pure as a rose leaf , while we
have said in these columns that
"Tess" was to be shunned. We
think it anything but commendable
in its moral tonei The refinement,
-the delicacy. the purity, the beauty,
the fidelity to nature, the .. loyalty to
God and truth are apparent from
first : to last - in t'The . Little
Minister." It is a strong noyel.
We i are almost - tempted to
write, that it isj a-great novel. It
is perhaps not that, for few Mictions
are really of that rank. It j is great
surely as novels are ranked in the
newspapers. But great or no it is
full of interest, has abundant action,
is very sweet ancheven pathetic, and
abounds in scenes of rare dramatic
power and effect. We mightpartie
nlarize, but that would rob some
reader of a charm, perhaps,-hat is
ahead for him If the author can
ever reach asraih so high a water
mark of excellence he wiil indeed
nlished what falls to
the lot of but very few of the hun
dreds of men who write stories for

It is noticeable that many Farm
ers' Alliance stores in North Caro
lina and other Southern States haye
come to grief and "busted." This
shows that it is easier to talk than to
do. Because merchants ofc opacity,
integrity and experience managed
their business well upon legitimate
principles, some have jumped to the
conclusion that' stores selling "dog
cheap" would be grand successes. But
they have merely panned out grand
failures. An objective lesson is
here. Incapable men make a Mbotch
of every thing they undertake
farming, merchandizing, legislating,
making political platforms.. This is
