FLOUR TRADE IN BosroN. Strangers
frequently take notice of the great numbers
of teams loaded with flour in our streets,
and are somewhat amazed when told tina.
Boston is one Of the greatest -four markets
in the world, and we believe only exceed
ed in this country by New York. BY
steamer from Portland, vessels sometimes
from New York and Baltimore, ships from
New Orleans, and by nearly all of our rail-
roads, five thousand barrels Of -four are
brought into this metropolis every business
day. or 100000 barrels per annum. As
probably three fourths of this quantity is
distributed outside of the city, 1t will not
he wondered that We have many flour
teams in our streets, since some 5000 bar
rcIs have to be carted daily. The number
of houses engaged in this trade is very large
and an immense district of country procure
all their supplies from this great market.
This trade is most admirably managed by
some Of the most intelligent merchants Of
Boston - Boston Trareiter.
o. Avoid intern eddlipg with the af.
fairs Of others. This is most common
fault. A number of people seldom meet
but they begin discussing the affairs of
some one who is absent. This is not only
uncharitable bat positively unjust. 1t is
equivalent to trying cause in the alb
scnce Of the person implicated. Even in
the criminal code prisoner is presumed
to be innocent until he is found guilty.
Society, however, is less just, and passes
judgment without hearing the defence
Depend upon it, as certain rule, that
the people who unite with you in discuss
ing the affairs of others will proceed to
scandalize you the moment that you de-
part.

cago Tribune writing from Min capolis,
MINI, gives an account Of a successful
attempt at horizontal flight in the air at
an estimated height of from 1900 to 1900
feet. The machine is described as combi-

kite, which had an area Of 500 feet.
Having got sufficiently high, no cast him
self into the air and came easily down in
yelvc minutes. He is confident Of over
coming the only difficulty in the way,
which is the rather important une oil being
unable TO rise. The account looks rather
visionary, but tranger things have prov
cd true before now.
GooDNEss.-Did it ever strike you that
goodness is not merely beautiful thing,
but the beautiful thing-by far the most
beautiful thing in the world? and that
badness is not merely an ugly thing, but
The ugliest thing in the world r? So that
nothing is to be compared for value with
goodness; that riches, honor, power,
pleasure, learning the whole world and all
in it, are not worth having in comparison
with being good and the utterly best
thing for man is to be good, even
though he were never rewarded for it !;
and the utterly worst thing for man is
to be bad, even though he were never to
be punished for it and, liz word. good.
ness is the only thing worth loving, and
badness the only thing worth hating.
