THELITTLE GROCER WHO FAILED

THELITTLE GROCER WHO FAILED.
The following, though intended tor
the young folks, will also convey very
useful lesson to children of o larger
growth:
Mamma" cried Freddy, II will play
grocery store"
After great deal Of counting, Fred
dy found that he had seven pennies.
Not much capital said sister Nellie
-she was grown up.
"What's capital?" aske Freddy.
"The mcney you have to buy your
goods with-that is your capital"
freddy bought tea, coffee, white sugar,
beans, salt, pepper. flour. meal. candy,
nuts, soap, dried apples, crackers and
starch. But all these cost fiftea cents,
and Freddy lad only seven cents.
Freddy arranged his store and put cut
his sign and just then all the older
brothers and sisters came home from
school, SO that Freddy had plenty of
customers and his goods went off very
fast, and he thought grocery store a
splendid play, Lucy said she would
take all the dried apples if he would
write it down il his book for her, be-
cause she bad forgotten her money.
When the little grocer had sold all
his goods, Nellie reminded him that he
owed eight cents.
"Why they didn'tpay for the things"
said Freddy.
"You know asked you too put the
dried apples down in yeur book" said
Lucy.
eyes," said Freddy, "but didn't have
a hook and 1 forgot 1t, besides but you
might bring back the apples, Lucy"
"Oh, no, I can't! I've eaten them,''
said Lucy
Then Freddy found that the candy
and nuts were eaten up, and that those
who had bought them had no money to
pay for them.
"Well" said Freddy, TITS Of no use !;
tan't pay that eight cents, for I've only
four"
"Why, then, our little grocer has fall
ed, said Nellie.
Failed ?" said Freddy. "That means
that can't pay it %
Eyes, that's it," said Nellie.
"That is because did not think about
the pay when sold them" said Freddy.
When you are grown up a man and
have real store, remember these things.
Don't buy more than you can pay for.
Don't sell other people more than they
can pay for. Always think what you
are doing.

A well-conceiyad project OF. ortho-
graphic reform has been entered
mon by the Prussian Government.
It's purpose is TO make the German
language absolutely phonetic. A
learned gentleman has been employ

plan, which involves the sacrifice
of the silent b in good many
words. but no very serions changes
otherwise. When he has finished
his work, the amended photography
will be adopted in all textbooks

it will be pretty well established

JUDGE WILLIAMS has fined tive nty
two of the Chicago Aldermen end the
CITY Clerk Of the Council 500 each,
and six Attorneys $500 each, and costs,
for contempt of court. The contempt
on the part of the Alderman and Clerk
consisted In their canvassing and rel
cording the votes of an election
in Chicago for the adoption of the char
ter Of 1872, after being enjoined not t.
canvass them, and on the part of the At
torneYs in their advising the Aldermen
to disregard the injunction and canvass
the votes. An appeal was Immediately
taken TO the Supreme Court.

Police.

Jack Hallett was arrested on Tuesday Of last
week, by officer Tetard, for being on the streets
drunk, and endeavoring to maintain perpendlc-
ular by leaning against the show windows OF va
rious stores, thus endangering their continuity.
Justice Stebbins thought that $40 would insure
the windows for the future. and fined him that
amount.
George Hallett did not like to see his brother

Lcsie took him along to keep his brother CON-
pany. Justice Stebbins thought that he had had
about the usual amount of moneys worth: viz,
$40.
The same day, Marshal Stahl arrested James
Brodie, for vagrancy. When brought before JUS

The Spelling Excitement.

BRIGHTON, Wis, June 5, 1875.
How remarkably illustrative the Spelling
School Excitement is !: that contagion does
exist and circulate through the medium of
the atmosphere. The whole nation seems
to be troubled by this devastating spelling
disease. It's not confined to the cities large
or small but to wherever the sun shines and
the wind b1aws Old men ana maieens are

equal facility to it's controlling tendency
By the interest manifested at Spell down

cas- ern Brighton have got the distemper bad.
Frequent showers no doubt kept many away,
but the school house was full of the most
intelligent young people in the neighborhood,
Order was called by Miss Nancy Murga-
troyd and, after listening to song, all
were on the floor ready to take part in a
preliminary exercise.

only two remained in the ranks of the fe-

that the ''civil rights bill' is an imposit ion,

after which comic defamation by w. M.

Two SUNSETS IN ONE DAY.-One of the finest
sights Professor Stiner, the aeronaut, says that
he ever saw, was the Wow he had of two sunsets
while on his balloon trip from Milwaukee. He
was at a certain altitude the first time when he
saw the sun go down on Lake Michigan, and then
descended to the waters of the lake. Afterwards
he commenced rising very rapidly, and soon
reached such an altitude that the fiery orb again
began to rise, apparently upon the Western wa
tiers, and ere long he was once more in sunlight
Then, as he descended again, the sun sank be-
meath the waters second time, thus afordine
two sunset views in single day. The professor
says, as the sun appeared to rise a second time
il was ore of the finest visions he ever witnessed
and the spectacle was one of the most magnif
cent description.

New HAMPSHIRE has had dispute az to the
election of two Senators. Matt Head was one Of
the Republican candidates and had a majority Of
all the votes cast for the Office. But there is
provision in the constitution declaring that the
full name shall be printed or written upon every
ballot and that any votes cast not having the full
name shall not be counted. Matt not being Heads
full Christian name, and there being large num-
Der of votes for Matt, the Governor and Council
did not count them ard his opponent having a
majority without them they certified his election.
And SO OF another case somewhat similar. This
gave the Democrats and the Republicans In
the Senate The Republicans withdrew and
organized so as to keep record of their action.
The disputed cases were taken to the Supreme
Court and the Court has decided in favor of the
Democrats. The Republicans however still have
majority on joint ballot, and, as there was no
election Of Governor, the Republican candidate
will be elected.

A JOKE.

Mr.. Stiggins is business man ano MS
business sometimes calls him to the neigh
boring city of Racine. One of these Visits
occurred last week, and while there he was
oyertaken by o. lain storm and took sneltef
beneath the roof-tree of man by the Zane
of Enckwire. The EDckwires were not long
In finding out that Stiggins was from Ken
osha. and in the course of their conversation
asked him what his name YVES. Bnt Stlggins
is name of no particular importance-tney
might call him Billings. Nssby Or Twain.
Was he acquainted with a family Dy the
name of Nellarn? Oh, yes; he knew the
Nellarns well. Did he know Miss Nellarn
Yes he knew Miss Nellarn, and heaved q
sigh. The Enckwires opened their eyes,
raised their eyebrows and looked at each
other Does Miss Nel1arn have many adj
mirers Alas, yes-too many Why too
many! Because, If size did not have SO
many, Stiggins would stand better chance
of winning the much coveted prize himself.
Wasn't his name Flock No wish it was.
Why? Because Flock stands better chance
with Miss Nellarn than Stggins does. Well
why not press your suit with Miss Nelarn :?
What is the difficulty 1t would be all
right, if it was not for one little objection.
A further opening of the Enckwlre eyes-a
further elevation of the Enckwire eyebrows.
What is that little objection The shower
had passed, and Stiggins arose to take his
leave. Pray tell US what that little objec-
knob in the other Stiggins paused belched
forth huge sigh. and replied, "my wife has
serious objections" The scene that fol-
lowed in that house beggars description
the dog ran under the bed-the cat down
cellar, and the youngest boy-four years old
sought the garnet for safety.

Secretary Bristow is looking after
the fraudulent distillers and has
found a large number of them

fraudulent distillers and perhaps the

being brought to justice. And, as
the Secretary is faithful in the

Don't crowd, The world is large enough
For you as well as me;
The doors of all are open vide
The realm of thought is free.
In all earth's places you are right
To choose the best you can
Provided that you do not try
To crowd some other man.
Don't crowd the good from out your heart
BY fostering all that's bad.
But give to every virtue room
The best that may be had;
To each days record such one
That you may we'll be p oud;
Give each his right-give each his room,
And never try to crowd.
