VIcrssITUDEs OF LIFE.-Ihe Cincinnati Enquirer
has the following:
Passing along the street yesterday, our attention
was suddenly drawn TO scene not little novel
and interesting in its character. In an alley with
paste pot in hand and roll ofbils his arm, whom
should we see but Wesley Smead, late President of
the Citizens Brink, posting his bill of proper
ty for sale for the purpose ofpayng off the remain
ing debts ofthe Bank. Needless ofthe wondering
gaze of the astonished passerby, he laid on his
paste and spread out his bill with all the readiness
and facility of practical poster taking place
them in the most conspicuous position, and above
the reach of boys and rag-pickers' Forty-three
years ago. DR.. Smead was an apprentice in the Ga
zettc establishment, and being the youngest, the
duty devolved upon him of posting up the show
bills &c. At this late period ofhis life when over
taken by adversely, he is noby struggling "a rare
sight indeed, among bankers) to discharge all his
obligations to his creditors.

voice of age-who can hold cheerful communica-
ton with one whom years have deprived of all
charms-show me the man who is willing to help

blush of Helen mantled o his check; show me the
man who would no sooner look rudely at at the
poor girl in the village than at the well dressed Ia

protected maidenhood as he would an heiress, sur
rounded by the powerful protection of rank and
family; show me the man who abhors the liber-

WHAT Is COMING Nova mysterious
passage in letter from New York 10 the
Boston Journal Irregular correspondent
reads as follows. Who does it mean, and
what does it mean?
81 am informed on unquestionable au-
thority, that next week paper will be read
before one of the leading societies of New
York, that will reverse The judgmen, of the
nation in respect to prominent General
in the war of the Revolution, and will clear
up what has SO far been mysterious pas
sage in his life. A letter has been found
in the well known handwriting of the
General himself, in which proposition
was made to General How to whip the
Yankees; and the manner in which it could
be done was pointed out. The paper is
ready to be communicated. and will be, il
rs presumed, next week. TIE treatment of
General Washington towards the distin-
guished officer has been the subject OF
much comment, and the abandonment of a
post, which was nearly flight on his part,
has been involved in obscurity; but the pa
pers now come to light explain these trans
actions and vandicate the Father of his
country. He supposed the exposure would
do more damage than good. and he chose
to have his own conduct malignsd rather
than damage or wound cause so dear tc
his heart as the cause of American free
dom. l would not write thus if had MOI

SOMETHING TO FEEL GLAD ABoUT.--Sit-

SOMETHING TO FEEL GLAD ABoUT.--Sit-
ting in our sanctum-says the editor OF tie
Leavenworth Ttnses--now some years past,
on cold clustering autumn day, we were
attracted by the entrance of "A bright-eyed
8 / little boy, who told the old city story of
..no father--family sick, out of employ
ment.'' We were at first disposed to ex-
press mock sympathy, and say we could
do nothing. but the boy large eyes were
swimming with tears, and he so trembled
: from head to foot, while his conduct and
s-demeanor bore such an impress of truth
fulness and sincerity, that we could not
{ find il in our heart to speak harshly, and
finally dismissed him wi quite hand
sssi some little sum, contributed in the main
sai by our printers--who, by the way, are
proverbial the world over for their gener-
= osiy. The next evening we were somewhat
surprised to find the little fellow once again
hanging difidently about our Office door,
- This time, however, his eyes were bright
with happiness, and sweet smile played
=, over and litup his handsom features. We
asked him to come in, but he merely step
ped forward timidy, so as to catch our ear
and earnestly, though ..stutteringly whisper
-. ed, Mamma prayed Tor you last night,
and then disappeared as noiselessly as he
had come.
Thank God. thought we, for that moth
er's prayer! And though years have pas
sed since then-though we have hustled
shror"h noisy incidents, and mingled thro
life struggles. as we are forced to do;
RENE norance of that " Mamma prayed fo
you," still sounds as grateful and as swee
as when it fell from the lips of that innocen
boy.

DEFENcs OF WIDows.-Some people
have : prejudice against widows, but for
our part We never could tell for what
Girls will do very well in their places, but
one widow is worth half dozen of them
any day. Girls are so shy, SO timid, re-
served, so bashtul. Very few of them
know how to make love, and when they do
understand 1t, it is awkward!y done; but
widows understand the whole process;
they know when to advance and when to
retreat; when to lay siege to heart, and
when to attack it by storm.
M6Te cases have succumbed to the dazzl-
ino bright eye ofthe widow, clad in weeds,
than we're ever taken by the dreamy, mel
aoholy orbs Of maidenhood. Believe us,
there Is more real danger in tn, dark way.

and all his friends believed to be his death bed is
now alive and in the full vigor of health His dis

his recovery were as follows: His younger brother

in London about the middle of the seventeenth
century, of what was styled ga sympel and certain
remmeedee for diseases Of We Lungs" Not wholly

the time that he commenced its use he was en-

Grateful towards an all-wise providence for his

Agriculture.

But few people are aware of tie i'm
mense falling off in The staple agricultural
products of the older States, as exhibited
By the census reports. New England, for
instance. in 1910, raised over 100000
bushels of wheat, but In 1850 she yielded
but I 900, OOO-a decline of fifty per cent
in ten years. The population. in the mean
time. had considerably increased. There
has been considerable decline, undonbt-
eddy, since 1859. The four States of
Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and Ala
bana, which raised l2. 900, 600 bushels of
wheat in 1910, raised but 100000 bush
els In 1850. The number of sheep in the
State of New York had decreased so
that there were nearly 800. 900 less than
there were thirty years ago. Within a
period of FIVE years the decrease has been
nearly fifty per cent, while the decrease in
tbs humber of horses. COWS and SWINE is
about fifteen per cent. In 1915 the pro-
duct OF wheat was 18,394,750 bushels. 1t
has steadily declined since. until the pro-
duct of the past year did moi exceed g.
OOO.OO bushels.
The older sections Of our country are
becoming more and more dependent upon

supplies of leading agricultural products.
