Fraud.

Where can we find honesty and fair deal
ing? 1t is bv no means difficult to find pro-
fessions and pretensions equal TO anything
that can be desired. But he mus. be Il very
dull scholar who has not learned that there
is often very marked difference between
profession and practice, between seeming
and being. The world is full of fraud, and
every man needs to be watched. Ii is quite
natural 10 watch noted rogues, on which ac-
count they cannot So well deceive you. 1t
is the man who is not suspected, that needs
looking alter if you would not be caught
mapping.
We complain Of fraudulent Debtors but
few think of the multitude of fraudulent
creditors. Lord Mansfield was wise man,
and his observations led him TO say. Il have,
in my lifetime met with many fraudulent
debtors, but where have found one fraudu-
lent debtor. have found ninety inc fIalIdu>
lent credtors.' And we have reason to be-
ieve that in nine cases out of ten, the fraud
of the debtor is caused by the previous fraud
of his creditors. Men who dispose OF their
goods on credit, are exceedingly inclined 10
use the same kind of deception either in the
quality or quantity Of the articles which they
deli, er. And it is not an unusual thing for
charges to be put upon the books when moth
ing has been delivered, and sometimes the
same thing is charged more than once.
Who put sand into sugar, plaster Of Paris
into floor, meal into ginger, peas into coffee,
water into liquors. and a hundred other such
things! II is certainly not the debtor
These frauds belong TO the creditor. Who
have false balances and false measures P
The creditor, if anybody. And in this way
debtors are manufactured, simply because
they do not get the worth of their money!
If creditors would deal fairly, there would
he few debtors, and those few would be bet.
ter able to pay what they owe. We know a
case at this moment where the course pur.
sued by the creditors, has been such as to
ruin the debtor, whose circumstances were
previously fair, and had he been dealt with
according to the rule of doing as he wished
to be done bv, he won'd have paid all his
debts honestly. and lived comfortably. Blu,
the course of his creditors has made him in
solvent and left him without home and
this is only one case in a thousand that are
continually occurring.
Many man becomes an embarrassed
debtor by trusting to the fair words of those
who wish TO get his money and bis conf.
dence he thinks that men mean what they
say. And if he is honest himself,a means
what he says, he does not suspect the fail
words of others, till he finds, 100 late, that
| he has been shaved. Then he must take the
consequences, and if he is unable TO pay all
he owes, he is called fraudulent! Such is
life. and such is man. Well may II be said
There is no flesh in mans 0bdurais heart.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT. Dr. Nichols, Of llav-

He says, with truth, that this is the oaf3t
machine ever invented that will do as much.
The motive power is aH gain, requiring 10
more electrical action than is necessary to

Of the economical and practical results of
this invention, he is not prepared to speak at

A good Maxim.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

There's maxim that all should be willing to
mind
lis an old one-a kind one-and true as It's
kind
lis worthy of notice wherever you roam,
And no worse for the heart, if remembered at
home
Ii scandal or censure be raised 'gainst friend,
Be the last to believe 1.-THE first to defend
Say tomorrow will come-and then time will
unfold
That 'one story's good till another is told -
A friends like ship when with music and song
The tide of good fortune still speeds him along,
But see him when tempest hath left him a
wreck,
And any mean billow can batter his deck:
But give me the heart that sympathy shows,
And clings to messmate, whatever wind blows;
And says-when aspersion, unanswered grows
cold
Wait-''one storys good till another is toldr'
