Short Weights and Measures.

A good story is told of green grocer
that paid dollar to a sharp New Yorker
who had advertised TO let vendors know
how they could sell twice as much mo!asses
every day. The dollar baviug been paid,
the answer was: 'Clean out your meas,
ures.' The answer was well worth the
price paid, il not to the grocer, TT enst 10
the community. The matter of short weights
and measures is crying evil of cur time,
and in it we see displayed tho meancst
kind of dishonesty. The proper balancing
ard adjustment OF scales is too frequently
left entirely to one party, and it would be
matter of much surprise if interest and
selfshness, did not sometimes weigh CT one
side. But not alone among grocers does
this evil exist. We find it everywhere.
Who is not acquainted with short cords of
wood, small bushels, &c -? Who has not
observed on every hand the desire to get
full days wages for short days work
Nor il this the case among common labor
ers merely. Who has not heard of a short
days work In Court, where many men were
waiting as jurors and witnesses, to their
great Inconvenience and loss, just because
the judge was averse to q full days work
We observe this tendency TO give less aud
get more everywhere and it is gazing up.
on our people. The old IDEA of good square
value given for value received, seems often
to be in much disf.vor. The meancst, dir.
iicst kind of dishonesty is that which at
tempts to gain in advantage anywhere by
shot weight or measure. IT, matters
not whether it be ia merchandise, or pro-
da'a, or tim', or services, the disposition
i5 the same ia every case.
Gle that is adjust in the least, is unjust
also 10 much Aud we often see this dis.
position to shorten where we bad right to
