All About Business m. fr.iebtipe

All About Business Tn" freighting business on the Housatonic railroad seems to have increased largely within sh" t time past, extra trains being frequently re. quired to do the work. No branch of bus mess in the country has been exempt from the depressing influence of "the times" ," and the railroads are no exception to the rule, the passenger trains evidently feeling
 the dearth of business more than other trains. the coaches on almost all the roads
 in the country going with extremely light
 loads for many months pa,t;- but it must
 come it must come an increase of busi-
 ness. The rails of the railroads every
 where have been cut off, spliced and eco-
 nomically used till there is very little left to further utilize, save for old iron and
 the furnaces, which have for, oh. SO long time been idle, must be again started to
 replace with n ", the enlir, lY worn ou'
 rails. And what is true of railway mater-
 al is equally true of everything else. EV-
 cry body has economized by patching up and fixing over, till very little is left o' the original, and new goods must most sure ly be procured, and with this imperative de-
 mand will come rcfrs shiug r. yival ln 'll
 branches of business. The time for pet
 ter state of affairs is surely at hand. Il
 cannot, in the very nature of things be
 longer delayed and those who have
 safely weathered the storm to this period in our nations existence have cause to re
 joice, and should take Courage, buckle ih'
 armour little closer about the l0ins. and
 struggle on, and
 .'In our Leaders name we'll triumph"
 From Aunt Jane, of Clayton.-MR. ED-

 Eve got so desperit perplexed don't know what to do. And so Eve took my pen Tn hand. To tell it a,l to you. 1want to know why LOW a-days, Folks haln't got ally right To speak the truth to other folks, Because 1t amt Derllte. When folks come round visitin', About housed. .eanin' day, With every thing all upside down, And they right in tue way; Why must say. "Now dew slt down. ana 30 glad you've come" When Pm u {. lnkln' a,I the whil. l WISH they'd sta to hum.
 ''P1l own I fibbed." said S,ster Soft. But then the flo was white; Icouldn't say jest all thought. It wouldn't been perlite."
 And Parson Smoothly laughs and says, "'Tis most too bad ln me, But Grandma Jenkins says must Come 'round and stay to tea.- l Of course said I'd like to much. And 'twould be well enough: | But then you know can't abide Her taking so much snuff"
 So. when Miss Brown my butter praised, l thought sne meant 1t all; 1 Aud cut ner off a good big chunk, Right from my biggest ball. 1 But 'twasn't only her "perlite," | For she cold Mrs. Gray ] That she could "glt around Aunt Jane Most any tune day." l Wall now it hOthers me to tell A white he from black; | And thls 'pnrllte" which only lasts
 Tlll folks have turned tneir back. ] So t'other day list got down | That pig, old-fashloned Book, 1 And got my specs aud put them on And 'mong the leaves dld look. Hound, Thou shalt not" for the..wrOng. And Thou snalt,'' for the right; ButuOt a single word dld sec About that-ar 'perllte.'' And now wish that some good soul. Would make the matter plain; should be obligated much. Respectfully, AUNT JANE.
