MONDAY, June up. NJ.
Given tonnage of grain for the month of May,
1878, double that for May, 1877, with decrease in
the gross earnings of over $40 900 for May of this
year, what will be the decrease in the net earnings
for the same period This is the problem submitted
by the traffic of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railway Company As an aid to the solu-
ton of the problem, we give tho results of May,
1877, as published III the official report of the
pany, as follows: Gross earnings. 81, ,153 S21 less
operating expenses $S11, GIG; net earnings. S341.-
9O5, less first charges 1921 300 surplus $11OG05.
Yet the stock of the Lake Shore Company to-day
was made a leading feature in the stock specula-
tion and sold at 65l against 1875 its highest price
in June, 1877. Were we to write volumes upon the
subject, could not describe the character of the
present speculation better than by the foregoing
statement Of facts. All who buy stocks on unfavor
able facts make money; all who sell have the piper
to pay. OF course it will not always be so, but
are now writing for the day. and of the past eight
months.
Lake Shore opened at Gfl2, and rapidly advanced
to 65L, closing strong at Go. Michigan Central
started at G0ai, rose TO 71l4, and closed at 70l2,
after transactions amounting to 800 shares.
Central and Hudson, whose traffic presents the
same problem as that of Lake Shore was started
up % per cent, at 111ss, ana sold at 1113I.
Erie, however, was heavy. and sold from
1864 down to 16lsG16ss. In the Western list Of
stocks sales Of 100 shares Rock Island fell from
1179i to 116l2G11G4; Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy fell from 1O724 to 1918, and Chicago and
Alton from S1l2 to 81. g., c., c. aud indianapolis
advanced from 81 to 33, and closed at 32l2 The
Northwest and st. Paul stocks were heavy, although
raying fraction from their lowest prices Wabash
on & light business yielded TO 15a8a15l2, while
Ohio and Mississippi was stiff at 9liG9os. Union
Pacific also was better at 7OG7Ol40IO.
The coal stocks presented a strong front while
some large short interests being lIqudatcd,
and then sagged OFF, closing with partial recovery.
Delaware, L8ckawanna and Western sold at
5965934d jS&l 059ls; Delaware and Hudson
at 5Sls0jSl2 Sl205S05Sll, and Norris and Essex at
6S0S7Si0S9. New-JeSey Central was dull and
steady al 3OlSG297s. Western UmOn, in COntiuHa-
ton of Saturdays movement, started of boldly at
o534 to SGl, bet later sold at Sjl2a sos. Pacific
Mail was neglected, with sales of 800 shares at I9
The total transactions were 1i7,20O shares, aud
the market closed feverish and irregular.

MARCH.

All, surely March you've come again,
With sleet and snow, and hail and rain;
Cold earth beneath, dark sky above you,
What have you, pray, to make us love you:
No month is half so rough as you, Ls-
December winds less harshly blew; a-ae
What churlish ways what storm tossed
tresses .
Your presence every one distresses
Haste, haste away We longing wait
To greet fair April at our gate. 80
Cold earth beneath, dark sky above you,
Surely you've naught to make US love you!
"Ah, see the blossoms y he replied,
Tossing his hail-torn coat aside
Though other months have flowers many,
Say, are not mine as fair as anyP
See, peeping, from each duslSy fold,
The crocus, with its cup of gold;
Violets, snowdrops white and Silly,
Sweeter than any summer lily;
And underneath the old oak leaves,
Her fragrant wreath and arbutus weavss--
Whatever sky may be above me,
Surely for these, all hearts will love me

Keep Your Own Counsel.

Nothing can be more injurious to
you peace of mind than to havs too
many confdants. You live in abjegt
slavery every day, as'you are constant
ly fearing that some one Of your NUM-
erous confdants will reveal u secret
you would not have any body know for
all the world. We know, in many
cases, it does the heart good to open
its doors to a seeming sympathetic
visitor; but, alas there is much more
seeming than reality in this world Of
ours.
You will sit down and tell some
one Of your acquaintance all your
troubles, real and imaginary, and ssy
to them, "now, you are the only one
in whom I have uunfded, and I trust
you will not speak Of this to anyone
else" Well, they promise to respect
your confdance and at the time, per.
haps, they are in earnest; but by and
by some one steps in, and an irresisti.
Bile desire takes possession Of them to
retail all they know Of yohr history

make it interesting. you know, to
their friends-not meaning any real
harm to you, probably, by 50 doing;
but it does them good to talk it over
| with that somebody elae whom you
warned against them.
They, in their turn, tell their friends
not to say word about it--wkich il
one Of the hardest things to do, yet
they promise; but are sure to break
that promise as soon as they get q
favorable opportunity. Thus your
cherished secrets are known to the
community at large, while you 60 id
blissful ignorance, thinking that your
| good friend alone knows anything
about your hearts sorrow. Friend, If
you want secret kept keep it yours
self. You are the safest person with
whom to trust it.
