Uhat causes Hard Times.
Too many spend money, and too f

Too many spend money, and too few
earn it.
Too much money is spent wastetully
and needlessly, and too little saved and
made productive and accumulative.
We buy too much abroad that we ought
to produce at home.
We buy too much that we do not pay
for cash down--too much of what we buy
beino what we do not actually need.
We are too wasteful, know too little how
TO economic, and have too little disposl-
tion to do so.
We are too speculative, ,unscrupulous, and
actually dishonest in our efforts to make
Too MANY of US prefer idleness to indus
try and too few of us know how to work

is not useful, and too little informing our
selves upon the best methods of promoting
our material prosperity.
We know too much of politics, and spend
ton much time and money on politicians,
and know too little about political economy
and the science of a staple, economical,
successful public policy.
Our actions are governed too much by
passion, prejudice and partizan feeling,
and not enough by broad intelligent, lib
eral and pdCflOJlC VI IIo
which American citizenship involves.
We are too superficial and impatient, and
lack the clear purpose and persistent, pa
tient application necessary to permanent
success.
We depend too much Hpon our ''sharp-
ness'' and s'cuteness, and the readiness
to take advantage of circumstances, and
not enough upon earnest. honest labor.
We talk and read too much, and think
and act too little.
We spread ourselves over too great sur
face, and thus fail to Gig deep enough in
one place for the nuggets that will surely
enrich US.
We lack in that higher morality which
frowns down venality and elevates and en-
courages purity of life, probity of conduct,
and a scrupulous regard for good and
honorable name.
+ We do not teach our children that they
must, nor how to earn their own living,
and are too willing to commit them to a
life of easy unscrupulousness, depending
on their skill as make shifts rather than
their solid requirements as men and wO-
men.
We roll about much like stones and
gather no moss enrich corporations and
speculating capitalists, and defrauding
ourselves of the profits of our own industry.
We are devOtees to show rather than
substance, and pay homage to the glitter
of a success which is robe covering
filth, rottenness and corruption-social,
commercial ana political.
We build too many churches, and cult
vate the Christian virtues and spirits too
little.
We have too many schools and too few
real teachers.
We are too undivided in certain diroc-
tions, and not enough so in others.
We adhere too closely to what we ought
TO depart from, and refuse to take hold of
that to which we ought to cling.
In short, we are too much what we ought
not, and not enough what we ought to be.

ONE dark night, the darkness of which
was lighted 10y the moon, the inmates of a
quiet farm house in Ayrshire were startled
by piteous cries from a little stream run
ming past the foot of the brae on which the
homestead stood. Out ran the gudewife
in haste, thinking that the voice was not
unfamiliar; and when she got to the barn,
there she saw her ain gudeman, who had
just little too much John Barleycorn, on
all fours in foot of water, in which the
moon was brightly reflected. "Gudesake,
John, We gouk, what are We doing there,
standing like an ould duck in that man
ner?'' ''Oh, woman Jenny, is that you
I'm glad to see ye, for hae got aboon the

time in getting John out, and over tum-
bier of toddy he vowed that nothing should
ever make him soar so high again, even on
market nights.
