AMERICAN. ENTERPRISE.


0fatulh we are the strangest people We
kn1w everything by intuition; do every thing
swnhout careor f0rsthought If we get into
-sGfaps-wsll, what.Jheni Who suffers Ask
YOUR uext door neighbOF.
Let man appear to prosper in a'oarticular
kind 0f busiHess-no matter what-and our hives
i-on il IN atwslvemonth he will have terpris>
ing usighbors all around him, rushing head over
3healsIn the same business, at the rate Of one
failure a month. No matter what his pursuit
was or theirs. He might bs bookseller or con.
tsctioner, halter, parson, or distiler ANY
lhiag and every thing, and they might have been
tallors, or shop keepers, in the dry goods or gro
cery lineI carpenters, or attorRsys-lts all the
same to them. IL there's money to be made,
why shouldn't they make il as well as anolheri
And into il they rush headlong, like bulls into
. china-shopiand when the smash comes as come
il certainly will, the moment they are found out
then, what have they TO say for themselyesf
Why, Just nothing at all I The times were so
hard, and they were so unluckyi How could
they help i'll Would you discourage enterpriso''
The fools! They ought to be set in the stocks.
Every thing by turns and nothing long L and
: this they call enterpriseY This they are blocks
heads to mistake for that far-seeing hea thy and
generous determination to be something, and to
do something In this world out Of which great
men proceed, like the stars at midnight, in
continued birth. Hence the waywardness and
fckLeness Of our people. Hence the fact that
son seldom or never follows the occupation of
his father. Hence not one man in fifty conln>
yues FIVE years in the same kind of business, in
the same partnership, or the same shop. And
hence the multiplicity, among other things, of
b >unprincipled and worthless newspapers - the
heaviest too ever imposed upon people. En-
:, terprises, forsoo,h and literary enterprises -
.. whereby all who have any thing to do with 'em,
, whether editorss propretors. printers or paper
makers, are ruined before they are wise enough
10 give up ia despair, and go hang themse yes
d. 10 quiet unostentatious way.-N. Y. Signal
TIE CHARTISTS.-Th trial oI
three we'll kno Wn Chartists, Carrier
:, Potts, and Roberts, fnr. aniswfnlly as
sembling in June and July, 1899, and
, using language calculated TO excite large
bodies ,cf men to commit breaches of
the peace, commenced at Salisbury, on
Monday, and was not concluded till
Wednesday. Carrier and Potts defen-
ded themselves; Mr.. Cockburn was
counsel for Roberts. Carrier made
pathetic appeal 10 the jury, tattriblticg
any offence he might have commit ed 10
distress at>seeing so many working m n
and his own father aud Rle,her in sta
of poverty, and to his behalf that bad
laws were the cause oflheir suffering.
The prisoners were found guilty, and
Justice Cotman passed science imme-
dia,ely: As Carrier appeared to be the
most active agent, the sentence'ef the
. Court uPonhim would be, that he should
sbe imprisoned two years, and kept 10
hard labour,- and a. the end Of that tine
'should fod SUI eties for his good behs-
viour fer three years, himself IN Gl0G,
Sas two sureties in ESQ each. That
Roberts should be imprisoned for two
pears, but wtthou. lard labor, (in con-
siderat on Of his station in life, lmpris-
onment would be mnch more severe
than with Carrier and to find sureties
= for his good behaviour for three years,
himself IN 9500, and two suretes Of
250bs each. That Potts should be
imprisoned two years, but without hard
labour, and to ind surelies for,hIs good
behaviour for three years, in 1901 and
TWO suretes 50l., each.-LOndOn pa
