RIG HT ON THE RECORD.-Nowa and then
n rumor reaches the public ear that some
body, generally resident of the rural dis
tricts, has been ''taken in and done for on
ing invC Rtion. In few instances these dis
honest dodges have been ventilatedthrough
the newspapers, one or two cases having re-
Gently been reported, wherein a sewing ma
chine agent is said to have been granted the
privilege OF leaving machines at certain
houses until he would call for them, receiv-
ing in return what purpOrted to be an ac-
acknowledgement of such fact, duly signed by
the proprietOrS of such houses, but what
afterward proved to be exemption notes
payable within a specified time. We saw
stories of this kind have been told time and
again, but whether true or false it is not our
purpose now to inquire. We merely wish
to say that, if true, Mr.. NJ. Il. Brown, of this
place, agent for the renowned and unsur-
passable Singer Sewing Machine, is not the
man who did the swindling He has a ma
chine that can and does recommend itself
ana lio Ines como among as TO mako hon
est living in an honest way, and would not
resort to any disreputable dedges if for
tune could be made in the operation. We
know these statements to be facts, and while
we can truthfully say, after an experience
of several years in our own family, that the
Singer machine is without superior, we can
just as emphatically declare that Mr.. Brown
is above and beyond mean or mercenary act
of any kind. He believes, as we believe,
that no family should do without sewing
machine, and thus believing he offers, on the
most liberal terms, machine that never has
and never will fail to give entire satistac-
ton in every instance, and IL the parties
whom he solicits do not see fit to purchase
that is the end of the transaction. He deals
fairly and squarely, and deserves to be dealt
with in ike.manner. Let him be encouraged

her Zap, and, thinking sadly, said 70 herself,
"Alas his is heavy task.I have under.
taken. lam not the only one who has lost
her baby Everywhere children are dying,
parents are dying, loved ones arc dying, and
everywhere they tell me that the dead are
more numerous than the living. Shall |
then think only Of my own sorrowH"
Thinking thus, she suddenly summoned
courage to put away her sorrow for her dead
baby, and she carried him TO the forest and
laid him down TO rest under tree and
having covered him over with tender leaves,
and taken her last look Of his loved face, she
betook herself once moro to the Buddha, and
bowed before him.
And he said to her "Sister, hast thou
found the mystard.seed 2"
al have not, my lord" she replied "lor
the people in tho village tell me there is no
house in which some ono has not died for
the living are few, but the dead arc many"
"And where is your baby2"
al have laid him under tree in the for
est, my lord" said Kcesah gently.
Then. said the Buddha to her "You have
found the grains Of mustard-seed you
thought that you alone had lost a son, but
now you have learned that the law Of death
and Of suffering is among all living creatures
and that there is no permanence."
On hearing this, Keesah was comfortcd
and established in the path of virtue, and
was thenceforth called Kecsah Godami, the
disciple Of the Buddha. Romance Of III,

If the boy believed that the accumulation
Of wealth and the acquisition of power were
what the old man says thOy are, the world
would very soon be stagnant. If he believed
that his chances of obtaining either were as
poor as the majority of mon find them to be,
ambition would die within him. 1t is be-
cause he rejects the experience of those who
have preceded him, that the world is kept in
tho topsy-turVy condition which we all rejoice
in, and which we call progress.
