An Example Worthy OF Emt-


talfOn.
\ few years ago, Mr.. Il, erected a
large and commodious business house in
the city Of j. just before its compile
ton. Mr. s. business man of consider
able tact, but not sufficient capital to
run a large establishment, proposed a
partnership with II. to occupy the new
house with an extensive wholesale and
retail family grocery. As II. still had
unemployed means which he wished to
be earning him something, he consented.
with the understanding that he could
not give the business much personal
attention. Soon after the completion of
the building, a very heavy stock arrived
for the new firm II soon called around
70 Inspect. and finding, to his astouish
meut, 81 considerable quantity Of whisky.
be began to demonstrate with his partner
on the improprieiy Of dealing in an
article which does so much mischief in
The world, declaring that he could by no
means get Lis consent 10 become part
cops criD5inis in the ruin of his friends
and neighbors. Oh said S if we do
not sell il 10 them son one else will and
where Is the difference All said II.
the difference Is ono of great consequence
to us. Ii s.mebo2y cise furnishes them
with this ruinous article, then zee shall
not be responsible But, said 5 we DO
not propose to sell by the drink Yes,
answered II, but if it IS wrong to sell
gill, it is wrong to sell a quart or more
to be used as u beverage Why. said s
it is necessary part of the business,
aud if we do not keep it, we will lose
custom. l cannot help that, replied II
determined to have nothing to do with
it, and if you are unwilling to leave of
intoxicating drinks, must draw out of
the concern Immediately As they could
not agree they dissolved by mutual con
sent. This was about FIVE years ago,
and to day II is still thriving business
man and 5. is 4 bankrupt

Is the Treaty TO FALL

1t IS barely twelve-month ago since
the world was officially assured from
Washington that the millennium had at
last come, and the lion and lamb were
TO lie down together in happy and
familiar fraternity. Every doubt was
clamored down as unpatriotic, and the
new Treaty was cried up as the pertec-
ton OF human wisdom And now, when
the day Is at hand, to test the practical
value of these rose colored promises, the
signs multiply that the whole scheme will
turn out complete failure, and the old
differences be left to rankle and aggra
vate' worse than before this bad bargain
was made.

Ii is a remarkable fact that previous
"a the year 20, the famous Nesuvius-
no" in active eruption-was scarcely
suspecisd Of being a volcano. No re-
cord OF It's performance in that character
had been trausAaitted to the Romans, nor
did even tradition of its destructive
forces exist among Nhe ancient Italian
tribes. Before the da,e mentioned, the
sides of the mountain were covered
nearly TO ~ summit with luxuriant
growth Of vines; the fair cities of Pom
peii and Hercuaneum nestled peacefully
at It's feet; and the extinct crater, partly
filled with water, had furnished refuge
for Spsrtacus and his rebel gladators.
\ severe earthquake in 63 had indeed
alarmed the people, and caused consider
able damage; but noue seemed to Gus
pect that the yerdaut- peak which adorn-
