APIECE OF BUSINESS.


Twenty years ago 4 young man

withcat making anything :. that
was even a second Cousin to a
proposal, was startled ,0ns even
ing by the question, "Robert, do
you want 10: marry me'2"'y 1Ie
tried to eyade, the point By asking
why she put such a question to
him. "Beoause, If you do not
want to marry me you must stop
coming to see me. No hooking

hint, and with a cool good night,

Good company as hers elsewhere.
he wou Id join the club the next

couldn't. He didn't quite like
the turn things had taken. Tho
figure plagued him: If he was Il
mocking-bird, who was the red
breast that. he WAS koeping away
from such q fitting partner? CAT
any rate, one thing :is certain,
Edna is smart as she is pretty"
he said to himself, "and she means
business" The next morning
Kobert went to the counting
room, when presently Joo Mason
came in and said, II. tell you what
it is, Bob, you were lucky in keep
ing out Of the club. l have just
paid another assessment Of fifty
dollars, and, what is worsa /

dred q year out Of pocket, and
precious little satisfaction. and no
home feeling at that" said his
friend. Robert hummed u tune
when left to himself: IL was Il
long day. Business had dragged.
Everybody was pre.occupied, bur
ried, cross. Things went wrong.
He WAS glad to 20 home, only it
wasn't homo. He took book,
but found himself trying to read
the Goals in tho CRATE and figures

1Io threw himself on tho lounge,
but it was dreadfuliy dull. lie
stood it for while, and then put
on his hut and walked down to
tho widow Crngie's. He stepped
up to tho door as usual, but Ednu
was engaged. lie asked to have
her called. It seemed month
before she came down. At last
sho appeared. lie rose from his
seat and met her in the middle Of
the room, and said, "Edna, l have
come hero tonight on businoss.-
! am tired Of being your mocking-
bird, and, want to be your red
breast; will you be my wife 7"--
"When you say" said Edna, her
face suffused with blushos. "Soon
as l can make nest, dearest"
Robert replied. "l bolieve both
the red-breaste join in building
the nest," said Edna, "and J. want
TO do my part" This was twenty
ycnrs ago. To-day ono Of tho
handsome mansions in ono of

regards great centres 1t ia evident that "a
the country becomes compact in its oommuui-
cations there will be a resultant Capitalization
towards certain points which must control
commerce. These points in the DAYS of cart
roads were necessarily very numerous aud in
eize proportioned TO trade facilities. Nov the
great centres are few in number but stride
onward to immense proportions. making
themselves the great fOci OF exoh anges and the
clearing houses for vast territory around
them. AS the small towns aud cities require
central points OF exchange, where they meet
TO regulate commerce, SO do great cities req uire
some immense commercial emporium, which
they elect as great central point for general
Interchange OF commercial ideas aud the more
perfect governing of trade. This point thus
elected is New York. but of the commercial
centres which are rising to be only second to
our great city in exterior and interior trads,
we have Portland, Philadelphia, Charles
ton, and New Orleans on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts, aud San Francisco ont
the Pacific. Portland is the natural outlet
of nearly all Canada, andscompetes favorably
with any seaport for our own Northwest trade,
while 1t is much nearer Europe than any prin-
cipal port we possess. AS regards Charleston,
when she learns that she is ss near, if not
nearer, the great West than New York, she
will commence rapid march to commercial
greatness. OF the interior small and great
cities we need not speak. The same laws
govern them. They pay tribute to the
secondary centres, and these to New York,
which appears to be elected now, not only by
the United States, but by Europe, as the
worlds commercial focus Herein is a great
lesson for consideration. The recognition of
all this is an acknowledgement that legislation
should be fitted to it and should be governed
by it. Let not legislation suppose that laws
should be shaped to govern these principles
but rather seek for the laws that exist in
them, and then adapt our own government To
them. This will show true statesmanship,
and this is what we now most need, else the
laws will clash with material facts, and the
latter, always the victor, will upset the Gov
eminent that interferes with them.

Old and New Methods OF Centralizing
Trade Railroad VS.. Cart Road.
From Tie ~. Y. Herald.

From The NJ Y. Herald
There are certain laws working in our trade
development which, despite any opposition to
them, gain the mastery and shape our future.
1t is well that these governing trade principles
should be well understood, as by q proper
knowledge of their workings legislation may
give them greater value and direct them in
such manner that they may make still
greater progress under them.
When the discovery was made that rail
road could transport ton Of goods for one
and a half cents per mile, while the cost by
common cart road was and is about fifteen
cents per ton per mile, it was fact that turned
old ideas upside down and Set the world in
motion. It started looms into new action; it
enhanced the value of land throughout the
country; it set the farmer to producing; it
created supplies which demanded exchanges;
it made people acquainted with each other
and broke down old notions and jealousies.
Distance ceased To have effect upon CONNER
cial honesty, and exchanges became rapid aud
certain Just in proportion to the cost Of
railway transportation to that upon common
road was our continent compressed, so far as
immediate cost is concerned; but in breaking
down dist tapces the saving has been far greater.
A ton of freight goes rapidly upon cart road
If it averages twenty miles per day. Upon a
railroad il may easily average four hundred
miles per dsy-thst is to say, twenty times
the speed OF the olden time.
If, now, we apply these facts We find that in
time and for freighting purposes our continent
is about eight days wide. Eight days of good
cart road in old times was one hundred and
sixty miles. Under the best circumstances
the distance could not be greater Here,
therefore, We demonstrate that our territory
is much smaller in all the great and govern
ing features of political stability aud centrali-
cation than that OF any tirst-cla9s power which
existed in Europe thirty years since. II to
this we add the centraliz ng force of the tele-
greph we shall sti more compact the mass,
and place our greatest territorial extreme
within very easy reach. Taking the average
width OF our terr tory now at eight days
travel, and the average length at three days,
and comparing this with the year $780, with
twenty miles per day on a common road, we
find that, so far as distance affects internal
commerce, we have in the United States TO-
day hut nine thousand six hundred square
! miles Of Territory about one half the terrific.
! rial area OF Denmark and bnt two-thirds that
/ OF the Swiss Confederation. Ia the transpOr-
| tatcn Of a man-that is, an offensive or deien-
! give war unit-we are still smaller.
But how does all this affect internal trade as

sovereign of Denmark, who, believing in the

Wackles, actually was at ths pains to get
certificate from his West Indian leges that
they would be gad to dissolve their political

If his "Halc's Rirly" has been injured a.

ton. to had it out. The bush Of this
peach we not only found TO be full offruls.
but the young peaches were, generally,
of similar site-slightly under the dimen-
sions of a partridge egg-and looked as
healthy and vigorous as any one could
desire His latter peach trees were not
90 prolific, but their fruit. except IN few
instances, exhibited no indications Of de-
cav that We could discover. We have
reason to believe that the disaster to the
fruit crop of our county has been overes-
tim ated. though We know for certainty
that in some localities, from local or other
causes, it has been very serious. We
opine, that great deal depends upon the
management of the peach, and that want
OF attention to, and ignorance Of the laws
of its culture, have as much to do with
the frequent failures of this crop in this
climate as any thing else. Be this as it
may, VIC have no hesitation in saying that
better arranged and neatcr kept orchard
is not to be found in our county than that
Of the one now under notice.
