The Aims Of Life.

That the duties of life are more than
life itself, is a truth that is patent to every
individual To live comprehends far more
than mere eating, drinking and sleeping
of every day existence. Gifted, as man
is, with an active inquiring mind en-
dowed with intellectual and moral pow
ers; with heart sensitive and alive to
pleasure and sorrow; the ends and aims
of his existence are lofty as the heavens,
and far above the little plans and schemes
of life and enjoyment, which now so much
occupy and engross the thoughts OF men,
Shakespeare speaks of "the touch of ma
ture" which makes all men "kin," unit
ing them together by common bond OF
brotherhood. So to live as to benefit the
human race, rather than to act as bane
and an injury, seems the duty of every
one.
There is no doubt that an act of char
ity or benevolence done to another, creates
in the human heart a melody sweeter
than the divinest harmony, and brings a
reward far more precious than the dia-
monds of the richest mines, Or the wealth
OF gold. And in pursuing the journey Of
life-a rugged and thorny pathway truly,
with few flowers to beautify and adorn it,
it is well to remember that all have
cares troubles, and sorrow, which little
kindness may alleviate, if not remove 1t
Is well to remember that
"Much Of care
Every human heart must bear
and that benevolence consists not alone in
good wishes, but in active deeds. The
consciousness of having made one heart
happier during the day, might well serve
as reward for the performance of good
action. The promptings of benevolent
nature are pure and lofty, and shed a
tinge of tranquil happiness over the soul
of him who possesses it. AS the morning
dew arises to heaven, rich with the per-
fume of flowers it has refreshed and
frightened, so true benevolence ascends
TO the skies, laden with the blessings of
all those upon whom it has shed one little
ray of warm and genial sunshine.

The New Republic: Western Africa

Brandon.
HOWE SCALE CoMPANY's iwoRKs RE,
SUMED.

The question as to whether the scale
business is going down, and is to be re-
moved from Brandon, is settled. On
Thursday the entire property OF the late
Howe Scale Company consisting OF their
factory furnace, and other real estate in
Brandon, and all their personal property
in Brandon, except ch0SeS in action, was
sold to n. T. Sprague, Jr., of Brandon.
Mr.. Sprague is one of our most success
full business men, and is well known
throughout the state and in the CONNER
cial world, man of large wealth and
great energy, and will we think, in time,
build this business up to be second to
none in this state. With him heretofore
there has been no such word as fail, nor
do we believe he now contemplates such
an idea in the successful prosecution of
his business.
The works Immediately commenced op-
Grafton on Tuesday morning with nearly
all the former hands, under the superin-
tendence of Mr.. w w. Reynolds, who
was the superintendent for some years,
under the former regime.
What Mr.. Sprague's plans for the future
in regard to the works are, we do not know,
but we heard him remark to the superin-
intendent, yesterday, not to let scale so
out of the factory, except in the most
perfect condition, both as to make and
material. Thus is settled question of
great importance to Brandon. Already
does it make its impression. a week ago
houses to sell were offered lower than for
two or three years, fearing they might
90 still lower, while now the same per-
sons have concluded to hold on, hoping
they will 90 higher. Started by men of
capital and energy, it cannot fail to be
carried on on a different and successful
basis, and to have an impression on all
cess in the world to the new concern.
Under what name the business viii be
carried on we have not termed.
