TIVE MERCHANTS UNION lvsEss COMPANY.

To TuE EnFroE oF rHE HER,LD:-
Several months ago we were informed that a
combination had been formed by the various cx.
press companies. whereby profits enough would be
secured 10 establish regular dividends to the stock.
holders. few weeks ago we we're informed that
the arrangements perfected last March had failed to
bring either perfect peace or dividends, and that u
was absolutely necessary for some ewo or more Of
the four companies to consolidate. One month ago
aud We were again rcualed Win the choice mOrsel
that the American and the Merchants Nnion had
merged. To my own and almost every one
elseis establishment the executive board OF the
Merchants' Union informed their stockholders that
they had consolidated with the American and were
Obliged TO call for aye per cent of the capital stock,
In order to make the merger complete. The long
suffering and delnded stockholders growlcd and
grumbled. but finally began to send In their money
and take the new stock.
Thus lar ali was well for the managers one week
ago AN injunction was placed on the Merchnnts'
Union. and yesterday q receiver was appointed.
THIS fact was well known; yet OF all the newspapers
IN New York city not one breafhed word of the
the news. and the 1900 or 5000 merchants OF
the United states were left In total Ignorance
OF event OF great Importance 10 them. Ia c0nse.

into sending their moneyto that bourn nom whence

lic will have chance TO know nll the lack OF the
management OF the greatest hzzle OF the day, the
institute suits against the managers personally. and
see II they cannot be made responsible Tor some OF
their acts.
Now, Mr.. Editor, knowing your paper 10 be manly
and independent, ask YOU 70 publish this, IN order
10 prevent any more money being sent TO the Mer-
chants Union managers until after they hive been
allowed to show whether thoy mean to deal Justly

OUR GUIDE.

In pillar of cloud by day, o God,
And pillar of fire by night
Thy presence did guide on the way they
trod
Thy people of old in fight;
And the wilderness way that we walk to-
More dreary and dark would seem,
Ii through the deep night or the twilight
Thy presence should never CLEAN.
am glad they waited in days of old,
With promise of better things;
For my heart it is stirred when the tale is
told
By the hope and cheer it brings.
l am glad that they iourneyed those forty
years,
In trouble, and doubt, and pain;
For the gloom of my wilderness disappears
At thought of their final gain.
We may never quite perfectly understand
Why the wilderness waits for each,
Yet we know that the beautiful Promised
Land
Is beyond it-without our reach;
But whatever the burden we have to bear
Or however we shrink and faint,
We shall carry ourselves and our burdens
there,
II a prayer is our sole complaint.
Had they only looked down, in the olden
time,
As they journeyed with falt'ring tread,
They would never have known of thelguide
sublime,
That forever their footsteps led,
And l pray, though we walk in a faithiess
way,
Though we seldom look up for light,
We may never lose sight of the cloud by
day,
Or the pillar of fire by night.

FAMILY JAR, AND WHAT
CAME OF 1T.

| remember 1t as though 1t
had happened yesterday. 1t
was the biggest row we ever
had in our family.
1t was one cold, rainy, even
ing in the early part Of Deem
Der. We all sat down to the
supper table as usual, but,
apparently, in our usual good
humor. By 'all, I mean our
family, which consisted Of
father, mother, my two sis
ters-Clara and Lizzie-Bob
and myself. Bob Carver was
one OF our family, as he said,
'breveG. Ills mother and my
mother had been friends from
girlhood, and had never out
grown their intimacy. Ever
since Bob had lived in the city,
he had boarded at our house,
and he seemed like one of us.
He was a jolly good fellow,
and appeared to think a good
deal of us all, especially Clara,
who, by the way, did not seem
to care particularly for him,
though, Of course, she liked
him well enough as we all
did.
The relation between these
two had caused me some pain
full consideration. | liked Bob
very much, and would have
been glad to have him in the
family more fully than by
brevet.' Besides this, my re-
gard for him made me feel a
warm sympathy for his unrecip-
rocated ELECTION for Clara. I
was in love myself, and
thought if Maggie Cranston
showed as much Indifference to
me as Clara sometimes did to-
wards Bob, that | should have
been inexpressibly miserable.
Besides this, Clara seemed to
take great deal of pleasure in
the company of that stupid Jim
Bayne, whose chief delight
!
seemed to consist in talking
about religion, politics and
other subjects, which bored ME
intolerably. J was nineteen,
and poetical.
1t always seemed to me that
Lizzie would have suited Bob
better than Clara, anyhow i.
They were both fond of music,
and often played and sang to-
gether. They did not appear
to agree about anything but
music, and they quarreled
about that. Yet they would
still practice together. Their
voices harmonized we'll, and !
supposed they tolerated each
other for the sake of the music.
l never could understand
Lizzie's conduct toward Bob.
1t was absurd. Some OF his
ideas, that she argued against
with all her might when he
stated them, she as warmly
defended in conversation with
the rest of us. l believe she
delighted in being contrary.
Mother sometimes rebuked
her for her petulance to Rob
but father said it made no dit
ference-it was customary
for musical people to quarrel
He was quick-tempered him
self, and Liz was more lik'
him than any of the rest of u
were.
But to return to that Decem
Der evening. AS l have said
the weather was bad. For tina

town. As this was not alto
gether unusual, not one but
myself appeared to notice it
except Clara, who looked al
Lizzie with a sort of Il told YOU
So glance.
Bob came home late that
evening and we did not see
him until next morning. At
breakfast Lizzie seemed about
to say something to him once
but did not do so.
Father, mother and Clara
went to church. Bob and I
concluded not to go, and it was
Lizzie's turn to stay home and
superintend the preparation
for dinner.
We were accustomed to eat
ing good dinners on Sunday las
it was the only day we could
all eat the meal together and
take our time at it. We all
enjoyed those Sunday dinners
keenly.
just before the folks started
to church, Clara and Lizzie
were talking earnestly togeth-
err, and Clara said, yes, you
ought to do it, and do it at
once I gave no heed to the
words then, but afterwards
knew what they referred to.
Father had a sort of half lib
rary, half office, up stairs, and
there Bob and | went-he to
take a smoke and myself to
read. After we had been there
a short time, Lizzie tapped at
the door and walked in. I.
asked her if she would have a
cigar, to which she made no re-
ply, but walked directly to-
wards Bob, who involuntarily
got up to meet her.
| saw they were about to
make up their quarrel; but as
l had been present at half a
dozen make ups of theirs, I
only thought it necessary to
gaze with sudden interest out

Lizzie commenced 'Mr. Car
yer, l was rude, I was provok-
ed at what you said at the ia
BILE, and so forgot myself; I'm
sorry
I wished L had gone out, but
they were between me and the
door, so | did not know what to
do.
Bob maintained an awkward
silence for a few moments. II
began to feel interested. l knew
that was pretty much of an
for Liz to make to any
one, and l mentally said if he
did not accept it as frankly as
it. was offered, he was a-well,
not what l thought him.
Lizzie had grown tired ofhis
silence for she had turned to
go, and l had turned around
from the window, when Bob
said stop
She turned towards him, and
he continued:
Lizzie, don't think / am
such a brute as not to accept
your apology. | was only at a
loss to fndw words to express my
regret at having provoked you
into saying what you did. 1t
was all my fault.
No, it wasn't eurtly re-
turned Lizzie; and l mentally
concluded that they would
quarrel over this.
But Bob continued seriously,
and in a most lugubrious tone,
and well, may be it isn't. |
guess it is fate. ltis the re-
suit, I suppose, Of my oversen-
sitiveness to your indifference
or dislike.
'Bob!' exclaimed Lizzie.

feeling that you don't like me,
and my uneasiness leads me to
act SO as to increase your aver
sion.
[ wish I had gone. They
seemed to be setting not only
their last QUARREL but all they
had ever had.
You had no right to say
that, Bob. You know don t
dislike you,' said Lizzia actual
ly breaking down and sobbing.
I guess he must have con-
cluded that he knew it, for he
took her in his capacious arms,
