press train for Boston over the Vermont
Central, ran into the end of freight
train, in motion in the same direction,
Tuesday afternoon, little beyond Mont
pelier Junction. The "saloon" car of
the freight train which was in the rear,
was considerably smashed, and two or
three of the train hands, who were at
dinner in it, were somewhat bruised
and scratched; but no one was seriously
Injured. The engine of the express
train was disabled by the collision,
which is reported by passengers to have
been the fault of the freight, in not
Keeping out of the way of the express.

The stock market was characterized by

tional tracks from New York TO buffalo.
The Chicago and Northwestern Directors
met to-day, and on the statement by the

She dances and sings exceedingly well.

A SnoEr SEEMoN.--Elere is a
bit Of philosophy worth reading, 1t
is an exposure Of a very common
de'usion. 1t is a good rendering OF
an old idea:
"7wo things ought to be ,'rong-
ly impressed upon young people Of
our country. The insecurity Of
riches, even when acquired, and
their unsatisfyirg character. There
is 10 fal!acy 50 universally cherish
ell as the notion that wealth is
surely means Of happiness. 7'he
care Of large property is one Of
the most burlensome Of carth's
trusts. The only material good
which comes from any estate is to
be made out of a moderate income
far more easily than q large one,
and with fewer attendant di>adyan-
tascs. Few thoughtful men would
undergo the entire stewardship ofa
large estate on a positive bargain
that they should receive 10 more
for taking care Of it than ordinarily
falls into tie lap ofthe owrer. Tie
scramble after wealth is due to a
wrong estimate Of good when it is
gained .

Payment Of tlsaal! n.lls4

The payment of small bills is a
matter Of much more importance
than is generally attached to it.
There are not a few who, III times
when business is q little depressed
and the prospect for the future
seems more than usually unsettled,
will hold on to their cash in hand
and tell all tie collectors who wait
on them with overdue bills to "calI
again." while the payment would
not give them any serious imon~
venieDcc and would accommodates
large and deserving class Of crcdi-
tors. Indeed, we know of nothing
that in a quiet way would 90 50
far to give animation to the mar
kets throughout the country as the
universal tuliillnent Of obligations
at tie first opportunity. Ifall the
little debts for the discharge Of
which the debtors now have lie
cash actually on hand were paid
at once, the wheels Of business
would be fabricated and a general
jollity" soon prevail throughout
the land. The first serious effect
on trade of any public excitement
comes from the sudden check Of
those little streams. 1t is true the
large transactions are arrested, but
ifeyery body went to paying these
little debts the check would be mo.
mentary, as business would he forced
along the current thus continually
renewed. Let every man whose
eyes fall on these lines pay out his
ready money for bills lie knows 10
he due, and not stop until bis pock-
cts are cmpticd. Probably before
this is realized the return current
will reach his pocket, too, and lo
be liable to fill his obligations.
There is as much money as ever;
as much currency as ever. Who
stops its flow? Let it move on for
q prompt payment fills now due,
and new business will catch the in.

Children often seem to say very

however, can be more cruel than
this, for the chi'd has merely done

of his little speculations before us in

The following is not new story,
but is o true one and will bear re-
peating we think:
Years ago into a wholesale gro

muscular-looking, raw-boned man.

back town in Naineor New Hamp.
shire. Accosting the first personhe
met, who happened to be the mer.
chant himself, he asked:
"You don't want to hire q man
in your store, do you?"
"Well,' said the merchant, 81
don't know; what can you do 7"
"Do," said the man, 81 rather
guess | can turn my hand to almost
anything. What do You want
done ~
"Well-ifI I was to hire a man II
would be one that could lift well, a
strong, wiry fellow ; one for in-
stance that could shoulder . sack of
coffee like that yonder, and carry it
down."
"'There now, captin'," said our
countyman, "that's justm me. lean
lift anything | hitch TO-; you can't
set me. What will you give for
man that can Suit you? z"
~ tell YOU" said the merchant,
"if you will shoulder that sack of
coffee and carry it across tie store
and never lay it down, ! will hire
you for year at 500 per month";"
"Done," said the stranger, and by
this time every clerk in the store
had gathered around and were
waiting to join in tie laugh against
the man, who, walking up to the
sack, threw it across his shoulder
with perfect ease as it was not OK
tremely heavy, aid walking withit
twice across the store, went quietly
to a large hook which was fastened
to the wal, and hanging the sack
upon it turned to The merchant and
said:
"l'hep now, it may hang there
till doom's day; | shall't never lay
it down. What shall | 60 about?
Just give me plenty OF work ami
500 a month and its all right"
The clerks broke into q laugh,
but out Of the other sides Of their
mouths,and the merchant, discomft-
edit yet satisfied, kept to his agree
ment, and today the green country
man is the senior partner in the firm,
and worth a halt-million dollars.

Why SOME ARE PooE.-Cream il
allowed to mould and spoil. Silver
spoons are used to scislpe kettles.
Tie Scrubbing brush is left in the wa
ter. Nice-landled knives are thrown
in hot water. Brooms are never hung
up aud are soon spoiled. Dishcloths
are thrown where mice can destroy
them. Tubs and barrels are left in
the sun to dry and fall apart. Clothes
are left on the line to whip to pieces
in the wind. Pie crust is left to sour
instead of making few tarts for tea.
Dried fruit Is not taken care of in sea
son. and becomes woriny. Vegeta-
bles are thrown away that would
warm for breakfast. The cork is left
Gut of the mo!asscs jug, and the flies
take possession. Bits of meat are
thrown out that would make hashed
meat or hash. Coffee, tea, pepper
and spices are left to stand open and
loose their strength. Pork spoils for
the want of salt, from floating on the
top Of the brine, and because the brine
wants sc,lding. -tWITaia Farmer.
