Mr.. T., only smiled,

! Not one cent less than four hundred and fifty
The young man could do but one of two things:
remove pay the high rent. Fearing to risk anoth-
er stand, and knowing that change would be more
loss to him than hundred dollars, he reluctantly
entered into contract to pay four hundred and fifty.
Another year passed, and Mr.. T., added
fifty dollars rent the house. This was borne
with also, for it better than to move. But when
fifty additional were demanded under the impression
that the tenant would consider more than loss of
fifty dollars to move, he could stand it longer and
sought another store. This store did not prove to
be good stand, which SO troubled the young mans
mind that, from neglecting his business, he became
unsteady, and in the end failed.

GRADUAL RISE OF NEwFouNDLAND ABOVE rHR
SEA-It is fact worthy of notice that the whole of
the land in and about the neighborhood of Concep-
ton Bay, very probably the whole Island is rising
out of the ocean at rate which promises, at no
very distant day, materially to affect if not to rem
der useless, many of the best harbors we have now
on the coast. At Pot-de.grave series of obser.
vations have been made which undeniably prove the
rapid displacement of the sea-level in the vicinity
Several large fiat rocks, over which schooners
might pass thirty or forty years ago with the
greatest facility, approaching the surface,

place called the Cash, at the head of Bay Roberts,
upward of mile from the sea--shore, and at seve-
raj feet above its level, covered with five or six
feet of vegetable mould, there is perfect beach,

adjacent land-washes.-N Times.

The praises that we receive after we are buried,
like the posies that are strewn graves, may
be gratifying to the living, but they nothing to
