With wealth of heart, and wealth of hand, brown

/" ALEssANDRIA." This place, the
rendezvous of the Sardinia army, whith
er the King has gone to take command,
is probably destined to play an import
ant part in the coming war. 1t is a
fortified city near the eastern frontier
of Piedmont, whose guns bristle to-
wards the Austrian territory. 1t stands
in the midst of sterile plain. 1t is
the great stronghold of Piedmont, and
is to the Sardinians what Gibraltar is
to the English, or Sebastopol was to
the Russians. During the. reign of the
French in Italy its formidable fortifca-
tions made it one of the strongest
places In Europe, but these were sub
sequently demolished, leaving only the
citadel Within the past few years
workmen have been busy in recon-
structing them, in anticipation Of the
events now at hand In the surrounds
ing plain, two miles distant, is Napol-
cons celebrated battlefield of Maren-
go. Alessandria is garrisoned with
several thousand troops, and, being con-
nected with Turin and Genoa by rail-
way, any number can readily be con-
centrated there. To capture it would
be crowning glory to the Austrian
Generals and to lose it deep humili-
alton to Sardinia. Alba,ay Jour. Nay

DEATH OF BARON HUMBoLT.-This
expected event was announced by the
Canada. His health had been gradu-
ally declining year or two. He died
at Berlin on the 9th, four months short
of ninety years of age. His scientific
writings had made him famous through
out the entire civilized world. He re-
ceived thorough education, and gave
early promice of distinction. His first
work was "the Bassalt on the Rhine %
This was succeeded by work On
Fossil Botany, and that by a more
elaborated work on the Nerves and
Muscles. In 1899, under the patron
age of the Spanish authorities, and
with the best wishes of all the leading
scholars of the European Schools,
he went to South America, which he
traversed in all directions, enduring
severe hardships, but contributing a
vast fund to physical geography.
Four years were expended in these ex-
plorations; after which he visited Cuba.
Mexico and the United States. The
result of these travels were: "Visit
to the Equinoctial Regions of the New
Continent" and I" Political Essay on
Cuba" In 1927, he commenced the
series Of lectures at Berlin, which con
stitute his " Cosmos" Afterwards
he traversed Asia, and wrote his" Cen
trail ASIA" which embodies great
deal of invaluable addition to bis ply
steal geography. Since then, he has
been associated with the most eminent
scholars of age-never however, relax
ing his scientific labors. His latter
years have been pleasantly spent al

Too Good Credit.
BY t. S. ARTHUR.

4" Let me show you one of the finest
pieces of cloth l have seen for six
months" said smiling storekeeper to
young married man, whose income for
clerkship was in the neighborhood of
seven hundred dollars.
"Don't trouble yourself, Mr.. Ed
wards" replied the customer. "The
silk and buttons are all / want"
sob, no trouble at all, Mr.. Jacobs
no trouble at all. 1t is a pleasure
for me to show my goods" said the
storekeeper drawing from a shelf the
piece of cloth he had mentioned, and
throwing it upon the counter. "There," !"
he added, as he unfolded the glossy
broadcloth and clapped his hand on it
complacently, "there is something
worth looking at, and it's cheap as dirt.
Only four dollars yard, and worth
six, every cent Of it. | bought it at
auction, yesterday, at a goo bargain. y
T" It's cheap enough, certainly" re-
marked Jacobs, half indifferently, as
ne bent down to inspect the cloth; but
I've no money to spare just now."
"Don't want any money" replied
Edwards, "at least none from such
men as YOU"
Jacobs looked up into the mans face
in some doubt as to its meaning.
Your credit is good" said Edwards
smiling.
"Credit! I've no credit. / never
asked man to trust me in my life, D
returned the customer.
"I'll trust you to half that is in my
store," he was answered.
"Thank you," said Jacobs, feeling a
little fattered by a compliment like this
{" But I've no want in dry goods to that
extent. A skein of silk, and dozen
buttons for my wife, are all that | re-
quire for the present"
"You want new coat" replied the
persevering storekeeper, and he laid
his hand upon the sleeve Of Jacobs
coat and examined it closely.
"This one is getting rusty and
threadbare. A man like you should
have some respect as to his appearance.
Leu me see. WO yardS OF tnlS Deau-
tifnl cloth, will cost but eight dollars,
and | won't send in your bill for six
months. Eight dollars for fine broad
cloth coat! Think of that! Bargains
of this kind don't grow on every tree" !"
While Edwards talked thus he was
displaying the goods he wished to sell
in a good way to let the rich glossy
surface catch the best point of light
and his quick eye soon told him that
the customer was beginning to be
tempted.
"I'lI cut you off coat pattern" !" said
he, taking up his yardstick; / know
you want it. Don't hesitate about the
matter"
Jacobs did not say no, although the
word was on his tongue. While he yet
hesitated, the coat pattern was meas
ured off and severed from the piece
"There it is,' came in a satisfied,
half triumphant tone from the store
keepers lips. "And the greatest bar
gain you ever had. You want the
trimmings of course."
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1859-06-02

I
You needn't have troubled yourself
about that" replied the storekeeper,
&C though money is always acceptable" +"
The money was paid and the bill re-
ceipted, when Edwards rubbing his
hands, an action peculiar to him when
in a happy frame of mind, said
"And now, what shall l show you.'
Nothing" was the young mans
grave reply.
Nothing? Don'tsay that" replied
Edwards.
"Pve no money to spare" answered
Jacobs.
"That's of no consequence. Your
credit is good for any amount
GA world too good, l find," said ia
cobs, beginning to button up his coat
with the air of man who had lost his
pocket-book, and feels disposed to look
well that his purse doesn't follow in the
same Improbable direction.
.How so? What do you mean %
asked the storekeeper.
"My good credit has taken hundred
and twenty dollars out of my pocket" |"
replied Jacobs.
"I don't understand you," said Ed
wards, looking seriously.
It's very plain case," answered
Jacobs. "This credit account at your
store has induced myself and wife to
purchase twice as many goods as we
would otherwise have bought. That
has taken sixty dollars out of my
pocket; and sixty dollars more have
been spent, under temptations, because
it was in the purse instead of being paid
out for goods credited to us Oh your
books. Now do you understand me ?"
The storekeeper was silent.
"Good morning, Edwards" said Ja-
cobs. "When | have cash to spare,
shall be happy to spend it with you but
no more book account for me-"
Wiser will they be who profit by the
experience of Jacobs. These credit
accounts are curse to people with
moderate income, and should never m-
der any pretence be opened.

There is as much wisdom in
bearing with other peoples defects, as
in being sensible of their good qualities;
and we should make the follies of others
rather warning and an instruction

Set Out EverEreens.

Nothing adds more to the beauty of a neat
house yard in city, town, or country, than few
choice, thrifty evergroens. The Canada Bal
sam, Norway Spruce, Austrian and Scotch
Pines, and some of the American ones; Siberi,
an, Chinese and American Arborvitais, Red Ce-
dar, Swedish Juniper, and the Savin, or common
Juniper, the Ohio Farmer says grow freely here
and are easily obtained, lt adds ..
One thing, however, must be attended to in
obtaining evergTeens. Do not buy them from
pedars, or those who hawk them about the
streets l0uh thc roots exposed. We would not
give dollar for a wagon load Of such trees
A very few hours is sufficient to destroy ev-
cry vestige Of vitality in the rOOttetS Of these
plants, and then farewell to the hope of the
planter. The trees will look green till the hot
sun strikes them in May or even June, but nee
a bud will burst aud with the fall Of the old
leaves the last glimmer Of life expires. Go to
a reliable nurseryman, have your trees dug
with nice, large balls of earth around the roots;
place in box, or tie around with mating, 70
keep the ball from crumbling away Have
your holes Lug before you SO, and as soon as
you return home, set your trees with the un-
broken ball Of earth, filling In with good sur
face soil, aud our word for it, your trees will
grow, If you do not trim them, or let animals
trample on and break them down, aud giving,
iftte season should be dry, few buckets Of
water. If evergreens are ever trimmed, il
should be at the tip Of the branehes--not the
leading shoot-and this makes them thieken
up Should the lower limbs be cut away, the
effect is bad alike on the health and appearances
Of the tree. ... .rr-..r -sr-r
For the larger species, give plenty OF room
unshaded by other tToes, and let their bending
bpughs sweep over the grassy lawn with ali
that grace aud beauty for which 20 lnauy ol
them are remarkable.
