One of the most reliable advertising estab-
lishments in this country, that of John Hoop
er & Co., of New York, whose name has long
been the synonyme for integrity and financial
responsibility, has just been merged with the
younger but not less favorably known house
of G.. p Rowell & Co. The success of the
last named firm has been something unpara-
lelled in the history of the business. This
firm has for some years been conceded to be
the leading establishment of its kind in Amer
lea. And the ABSORPTION of j. Hooper & Co.,
one of the few others which could with justice
be called their rivals, places them in prom
inent position. More than five thousand

dependent neutral State under the Prince

William III. of Holland. This annexation

STA to guarantee the independence of the

settlement of the question to arbitration by
the republican government Of the United
States. The State Department at Wash

peace is arranged, but there seems nothing

CLING TO THOSE WHO CLING TO
NOV

There are many friends Of summer,
Who are kind while flowers bloom,
But when winter chiIls the blossoms,
They depart with the perfume,
On the broad highway Of action
Friends Of worth are far aud few;
So when one has proved his friendship,
Cling to him who clings to you.
Do not harshly judge your neighbor,
Do not deem his life untrue,
fhe makes no great pretensions,
Deeds are great though words are few;
Those who stand amid the tempest,
Firm as when the skies are blue,
WIN be friends while life endureth,
Cling to those who cling to you.
When yon see a worthy brother
Bufeting the stormy main,
Lend helping hand traternal,
Till he reach the shore again;
Don't desert the old and tried friend
When misfortune comes in view,
For he then needa friendships comforts,
Cling to those who cling to you.

HONE CHEERFULNEss. Many a child
goes astray, not because there is want of
prayer or virtue at home, but simply be-
cause home lacks sunshine A child needs
smiles as much as a flower needs sunbeams.
Children look little beyond the present
moment IF thing displeases they
are prone to avoid it. IF home is the
place where faces and words are harsh, and
fault finding is ever in the ascendant, they

them happy.
