SWELLING UP.-A little girl in church
with her mother becoming anxious for the
minister to close, felt relieved as he came to
pause on concluding his "thirdly," but
when he gave signs Of still going on, she
nudged her mother and said, "oh mother,
look, he's SWELLING up 10 begin again"
Now, ministers are not the only ones who
swell up to take fresh start; but the sweIl>
ing to which We nov allude, seems not TO
have the same effect upon people as the miu-
iSter's did upon the little girl. In a busi>
ness>way it's all right. If anyone has the
curiosity to look into the store of Messrs
Lovelace & Wheeler, they will then see this
swelling VIC are speaking Of. 1t has had the
effect Of adding about fifty feet more or less,
to their business dimensions, vii h additions
al space is to be filed up with the indispen>
sahes of life. Swell on gentlemen, and
may your shadows never grow less.
