Hope Deferred Maketh the Heart Sick

Ever since the crash of 1873, many have
been predicting and all hoping for, revival
of business. The period fixed for an omer-
gence from this depression into a new and
permanent activity has first been fall and
then spring till now the great focal point
where hope aud reliance center is the "Cen.
tennlal." But what is this revival Of bust
ness that so many clamor for Ia nine
cases out Of ten the restoring of high prices
and increasing values with the atten g.
daut opportunities for reckless speculation.
In other words the people ask for the very
conditions by which the panic was precipi.
tated. Men are beginning to learn the
value OF dollar, and as we slowly approach
resumption and stable basis for the trans.
action Of all kinds Of business, the facilities
for wild enterprise and prodigal expenditure
are happily being reduced. Tradesmen
might learn the lesson from the recurring
failures Of merchants that so much can they
sell and no more. The laws of business
however intricate and complex they may
appear, are imperial and the sooner one be-
gins to obey them, the sooner he inaugurates
his prosperity. Even the farmer must adopt
the "new departure" IT'S sorry fact
that the value Of his products has kept de-
clning but from that fact he shall learn that
wide margins and mounting prices are Of
other days 1t is by no means happy mu.
sic to work by but music nevertheless that
must be faced.
To those who read Alright the "signs Of
the times" it is evident that wealth as before
the war, is to become again the aggregate
Of steady accumulation and not an immedi-
ate avalanche Of luck. All those hopes of a
"bold strike" or Of sudden bonanza, need
to be punctured and Legitimate business
adopted, Even the keen Daniel Drew, that
Janus of religion and mammon, after
splendid series Of wrostles with fortune has
yielded at last to the inevitable and gone by
the board. But a few Drews, Fskes,
Goulds and Vanderbilts will always be pos
siblo it is the smaller parasites of legitimate
industry that the country would shake off,
Tho bankruptcies Of every day represent
no destruction ofproperty perhaps no increAs-
ing business depression. They indicate
rather the sure penalties of excess OF expen-
diture over production and the emphasis Of
the law that in all departments of business
the supply must conform to the demand.
Now until we do have u substantial inyari.
able currency, which will tend to uniform.
ity of prices and, therefore, to oxpol from
the ranks Of trade at least 80 per cent of tho
nonprOducers, general activity Of business
cannot be expected. Tho centennial will be as
Intellectual to promote return to healthy
business principles as a brazen image to pro.

walls We can look toward it but it will

dustry we are bound 10 adopt.

The English Language.

So important and influential has the En-.
glsh language become among all the civil
lied nations of the earth, that we may well
be proud to call it our mother tongue. More
than sixty million persons now speak it as
their own vernacular. Go where you will,
in every business mart Of the world, in Eu-
rope, in Asia, and even in bonighted Africa,
upon tho ships that course the sea, and we
shall still be cheered by the sweet sounds of
our own beloved tongue. Its influence is
widening with each succeeding year, and we
firmly believe that the day is not far distant
when it will be recognized by common con.
sent, like the old Latin language, as the
universal medium of thought in all national
and official relations. We ought, therefore,
to be acquainted with it in more than gen.
eral sense we ought to know something Of
its origin, its history, its composition, its in,
herent power and beauty. No one rests
satisfied with simply learning the name Of a
friend but is interested in his antecodents
and relations to others. And should we not
feel deep interest to learn of our own Ian.
guage-tho first that we lisp at our mother s
knee, aud the last We utter with our expir-
ing breath ?
The English language is young none Of
any Importance being younger, for it is
scarcely yet six hundred years old Seven
hundred years ago no human being spoke
our present language. The history Of Ian.
guage, as such, goes far back and is lost in
the dim vista of ages, but there are two
principal beliefs entertained as to its origin
First, that man is able and actually did
originate his own language, there being vari-
Gus suggestions as to the exact mode Of do
ing it. Second, the more scriptual, and
perhaps, the more generally received belief,
that man is utterly unable to create Ian
guagc for himself, aud that it was gift
directly from the Deity. For, says the
Record Whatsoever Adam called every
HNllB buuL was lnd uullc lutTuOls
Powerful thinkers arc on both sides Of this
question, and we leave the reader to incline
to his own belief. Fortunately, our good
English is so young we are able to learn
pretty easily and accurately of its origin and
development.
The groundwork is Anglo.Saxon with rich
treasures from the Latin, Greek and French
languages, aud few isolated words from
various other sources, 1t will be observed
that home, father, mother, broad, love, and
kindred words are Anglo.Saxon, and these
are the most important and radical, and such
as children first learn from parental lips.
OF every one hundred words of ours, it is
estimated that sixty arc Anglo-Saxon, thirty
Latin, FIVE Greek, and the remaining five
from other sources. If it is asked, whence
came the Anglo.Saxon language, the answer
is, from the far east from place now called
Iran in India. Beyond this, we have no
light. Il. w. PET.

pic, it came, like many other noble accents, too
late. If the "bhoys" elected their pres dent

showed themselves the better "Tait"icans.
When man drops into the arena his tooth

Watch your chances, ambush yourself if
necessary, head off the "bummors," and don't
snap your lash of sarcasm on the empty air,

Railroad fare and the dead head question
are said to have carried distraction into the
councils Of the managers Of the exhibition
by excluding all free tickets it is thought
the price of admission might be reduced
from fifty to twenty-five cents. Many of the
railroads leading toward Philadelphia have
adopted rate only 25 per cent off the ordi-
nary fare. In view OF the courtesy usually
extended to cattle shows, horse trots, picnics,
etc., and Of the immense amount of travel to be
occasioned by the great festival, this stingy
reduction looks more like extortion than con-
cessiou, and has evoked loud complaint in
many parts of the country.

The annual catalogue of the university Of
Vermont and state agricultural college for
1915 shows an aggregate attendance of
1913 students in all the departments. The
freshman and sophomore classes number %
and p respectively, while the medical class
has 90 members. 1t is often a source of
comment that this college with its superior
facilities for academic and scientific instrue-
ton is not more numerously attended. Now
we know that any young man, free from bias,
after examining its record and its advantages
would not blush to see his own name enrolled
upon the list of undergraduates or alumni
Possibly, too, the fact is not duly appreciated
that at this college young women may share
the same opportunities of culture with the
harsher sex.

The appetite for investigation has attained

Were it not for the great scandals, politi-
cal and social, presidential thoughts and
preparation for the centennial, the most pop
ular theme would doubtless be Moody and
his revival methods. This earnest man has
already become great fact Of history. In
England he accomplished what never before
had been achieved-the conversion Of thou.
sands Of persons with the simplest truths.
Other great evangclsts have generally found
some new doctrine or departure to be their
chief attraction. Mr.. Moody takes the old
premises Of orthodox faith, and by the won.
drous energy and spirit with which he vivi-
fies them, literally awakens whole nation.
His eloquence is his own, able to move alike
the critical and the simple. Night after
night, and day after day, the hippodrome
has been thronged with audiences eager to
place themselves under his mastery control
1t is lmpertinent to ask whether the results
will be permanent. Neither he nor any man
can work out an individual piety for another.
That the man is purely unselfsh is univer-
sally conceded. He seems, rather, to be the
voice Of some grand thought that inspires
him. He is to religion what Cough has
been to temperance, and before one condemns
from reading let him judge from hearing.
Any man, however limited his culture, who
can invest with life aud blood themes that
have seemed to thousands like marrowless
bones, amply deserves the title Of eloquent,
be his methods ever so simple. His splendid
success and his thoroughly unselfsh spirit
have shielded the great evangelist against
the ridcue and suspicion frequently mouthod
apainst reylvnl nreachers.
