A COMICAL SroRY.-A highly senti-
mental dry goods clerk in Chicago, late
ly married, was so filled with his own
happiness that he was impelled to i'm
part it TO surrounding objects. 1t has
been his habit t. write poetry of a love-
sick sort on scraps of paper in which
goods were enclosed. This peculiarly
has been the source of much amusement
to his fellow clerks. \ few days ago,
when the store was crowded with Gus
toners, a man came in with excitement
visible in his hands, his hair, his heaving
breast, who stepped up to the happy
poet, tlouIishing a piece of brown paper,
and pointing to some lines, asked him
if he wr)te them. The clerk was oblig-
ed to own that he did. The scene had
now attracted all the persons in the store
to the spot. The iratc visitor directed
the clerk to read the lines, which he did,
aloud, rs follows:
Come in the evening or come In the morning.
Come when you're Ooked for without warning.
Kisses and welcome shall be there before you,
And the oftner you here the I'll adore you.
There sir, how dare you give such
stuff to my wite-my wife whom l adore?
You wretch ~ 1t was some time before
the explanation, which it was easy to
make, proved satisfactory. 1t is need
less to say that scribIing poetry on wrap
ping paper is forbidden in that store, lest
some loving swain should again make
the mistake of wrapping up a dress pat
tern for an innocent lady in verses in
tended by the author for the maiden oi
bis own heart.

LIE AMERICAN 1EAE-BOOK. - We
believe II" similar work WIS ever hetur,

valuable American Year Book for 500,
Just published 10y .. ID. Case " Co. OF
this city. It is the initial volume ot Il
proposed annual publication, and aims
TO meet the popular demand for general
information on our system OF State and

Of the nitcd States, is we'll ~ the po-
litlcal, financial and social condition Ot
other countries, all over the world. It,
editor, David \. Camp, has labored
carefully and long in the preparation OF
this work. The result Is, that here Is Il
book which will afford, at Il glance, al
most any desired Naturalization the
record of ''important events" to the in
lustrlal statistics, and the financial, re-
ligious, educational and political condi
ton not only OF our own States but Of
foreign lands. Here, one can find all
the names and offices under our govern

perfect compendium of useful informa-
ton; and, were it tritic smaller, il
would lie for many, their rmie-mecam.
As it is, though Il little too biz to

An old man whose sight was defective
and had to use glasses, was reading a
newspaper on the train between Wheel
ine. Va, and Washington, few days
ago. When the cars reached the first
tunnel the quick disappearance Of the
light caused him to look up. Taking
off his speciaclcs and wiping them, he
replaced them and again tried to read.
Pcrcciving that it was still dark, he
dropped both paper and spectacles, cx-
claiming, in loud voice, My God,
I'm, blind, I'm blind This aroused
the passengers, and it was a long time
before he could be convinced what was
the matter.

/ The advantage of increasing our man
utactures is 10 chimera. 1t is demon
strable in various ways, perhaps not bet
ter than by citing an example.
The state of New Hampshire has
about the same extent of territory. but
about 100000 acres less of improved
land. lis soil is much inferior, its scene
ry on the whole less beautiful, It's people
as class less intelligent; as an agricuI-
tural state it is in all respects vastly IN
ierior to Vermont, and possesses no
greater natural advantages Tor manufIc-
turing industry. In 1910 the popula-
ton of Vermont was Greater than that Of
New Hampshire. Yet to-day, notwith-
standing all the advantages in favor of
Vermont, She is outstrippcd by New
Hampshire in population by more than
10000, probably more than 20, 600.
Her per centage OF increase of population
from 1850 TO 1860, was eight times
more than that of Vermont. With her
100000 acres less OF improved land in
1860 her valuation of real and personal
estate was S33, ,S33, $50 more than that
OF crmont At the same time the cash
value OF the farms OF Vermont WAS S2l.-
S2l.9l2 more than that OF New llamp-
shire. Horses, COWS and sheep Vermont
had nearly double Valuation OF live
stock was about five millions mora IN
nearly all agricultural products Vermont
.reatIy exceeded New Hampshire. Oats
She produced about two million bushels
more; wool, nearly two L,illion puumI>
more; potatoes, about two million bush
els more; butter, nine million pound,
more cheese. above five and halt mil

A REASON OR Two.-Greeley says: "The
rush of Northern capitalists to the South
immediately after the close of the war led
to such losses as created revulsion."
Exactly! SIS r4.t.H
It had been believed that the Southern
planter was the happiest of men, aud that
under the new order of things the calling
which had SO enriched him and enabled
him to cultivate so many social graces,
might be made more than ever profitable
and comfortable. So there was rush" to
the South Of ''smart" men to go into the
happy business of tilling cotton. Money
was freely expended, and great expecta-
tions" cheered on the Adventures. But
they were doomed to disappointment-a
disappointment that WAS disastrous. They
lost all they hazaded, and returned home
wiser men; but, unfortunately, with an ex-
perience that has been related to our disad-
vantage, as Mr.. Greeley says
Now, why did they fail? First, because
the business Of cotton-planting requires
experience; secondly, because the negro
labor which they wonld not have known
how to direct with advantage as slave, was
less productive free than it had been as
slave
These adventurers were ongst the most
enterprising as well as sagacious of North
ern people. They discovered that the pur-
suit OF planting was not the simple ..rt they
had supposed it to be. and that the planters
were not the improvident, npathetic, and
unskilful c'en the Northern mind had taken
them to be. We venture to say that in no
part of the wolld, all things considered,
was there ever q better managed industry
and more successful tillage than in the
Southern planting States.
The disappointment OF these mon, Ms is
now admitted, created reaction and for
time blighted the ardent aspirations touch
ing cotton lands and cotton planting; quite
satisfactory solution of the absence of de-
mand for those lands. How is it, then.
that men blame the Southern land holders
for not selling their lands when nobody
wants to buy? Is it not enough that they
are thus left with what nobody now wants?
and must they be abused for not giving that
away?
The experience of Northern men at the
South ought to satisfy them that the South
ern land-holdcr is greatly wronged. Pro-
perty IN the South is as much the subject
OF commercial laws as property is anywhere
else. Necessity and interest are as much
the controllers of its fate here as anywhere
in the world, and all the talk about South
ern men being unwilling to sell to Northern
men, or any other men, is worse than non
sense-it is, in great degree, malicious

and very little will 60 long way at the
South now.
These matters getting to be better
understood. Their better appreciation will
help to smooth down the prejudces which
Misrepresentation has engendered.
