cried in good earnest And what was a Won
derful thingfor her to do, put her arms around
her sister-in-law's neck and kissed her hearth

Thanksgiving morning opened bright and
fair. When Aunt Harriet, in pretty flower

rest were waiting to meet them at breakfast,
and everything wont on just rs it was set down

Fable forthc Times.

As n rule, wealth is the result Of industry,
economy. attention to business, and as n rule,
poverty is the result of idlencss, extravaganza
and iuattention to business though to those
rules there are thousands OF exceptions. Tho
man who has wasted hia timc, who has
thrown away his opportunities, is apt to envy
the man who has not. For instance, here
are six shoemakers working in one shop. One
of them attends TO his business; you can
hear the music of his hammer late and early
he is in love. it may be. with some girl on the
next street: he has made mp his mind to be a
man. to succeed, to make somebody else hap
py, to have home; and while he is working
in his imagination, he can see his own fire
side, with the light falling upon the faces Of
wife and child. The other five gentlemen
work as little rs they can, spend sunday in
dissipation, have the headache Monday. and,
as a result, never advance. The industrious
oAe, the one in love, gains the confidence of
the employer, and in little while he cuts out
work for these other fellows. The first thing
you know he has shop Of his own, the next
a store, because the man OF reputation, the
man of character, the man of known integri-
ty, can buy all he wishes in the United States
upon n credit The next thing you know
he is married, and he has built him house,
and he is happy and his dream has been re-
allied. After while, the same five shoe
makers, having pursued the old course, stand

RESUMPTION AND THE SuvEn QUESTION. A
handbook for the times, by Henry v.
Poor New York. II. Y. d II. w, Poor,
Publishers. 2jO PIP.
Mr. Poor is a well-iInown writer ON finan-
cial subjects, and author of a recent work on
money and its Laws" which attracted wide
attention. The object Of this work, as ex-
planned by its author, is to show the wide
distinction existing between the money of
banks. and that of Government. The first is
an instrument of exchange and trade based
on production. The latter is a de6t payable
at the pleasure of the Government Tho two
are wholly unlike, and one cannot long be
made TO perform the functions of the other.
So far in history, Mr.. Poor maintains, all is
sues of Government money, where the
amount has been large, have been repudiated
not from choice hut from necessity. Our
own greenbacks he believes to be tending
TO a similar catastrophe The notion so prev
alent among the Greenbackers and some 9th
ers that there would be a saving by the use
of Government notes in place of the bank
currency, proceeds upon the assumption that
Government can borrow without paying in
terest. 1t cannot do this, any more than an
individual, consequently large issues of Gov
ernment money can only be made at a dis
count which soon largely exceeds the nomi-
nal saving by non payment of interest There
are worse consequences than this. Mr.. Pooi
maintains that history shows the necessary
effect of Government currency is to sap the
moral as well as material welfare of people
using it,
The book contains much information OIL
the subject of currency resumption, silver
ETC., now occupying many minds, and viii
| give some new ideas on these subjects t.

ney & Clapp.

The greenback national party claimed in
its official organs go, 900 votes in New York
and got less than 10000. 1t claimed 2j0, 600
in Pennsylvania and got $1,000 1t claimed
claimed ninety Congressman and got eight,
and it showed once more that it is an excel
lent club in the hands of the Republicans
with which to defeat the Democrats; but
that is ALL Fortunately on the lst of January
the country will resume specie payments
aud then, unless the Democrats break up
their own organization and join the green
back party and march on to sure defeat under
the banner of imitation we shall hear NC
more of the greenbackers unless they come
out in their true colors as land spectators
and subsidy mongers.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1878-11-29

If any one thing was decided by the recent
elections it was that the people want honest
money to transact their business with. They
have called for specie payments with no un-
certain voice. They have declared that they
will take nothing less than one hundred cents
for dollar. The silver bill gets meroless
handling at the polls, and Congress may con-
clude to act upon so positive hint, and
modify the law in such a way that the ptrma-
nent success of resumption will no longer be
put to hazard. Grccnbacksm shows like a
collapsed balloon, there. being nothing in it
to warrant such vigorous claims to respect as
have been put forth on its behalf Now let
Secretary Sherman proceed with his work of
preparation for resumption, and feel as sure
as possible that that is what the country eX-
poets at his hands. i3OstOH Pest

Az IMPORTANT LIQUoR DEcIsIoN.-A suit
was brought at Middetown, in the State of
New York, in 1915, against the landlord and
tenant of liquor salS on for damages caused
by the loss of hcfse which was driven to
death by the plaintiffs son while intoxicated
by liquors supplied to him at the saloon.
The plaintiff obtained verdict in his favor,
which was confirmed at the general term, and
the landlord carried the case, 50 far as he was
concerned, to the Court Of Appeals The ac-
ton was brought under the law Of 1873,
known as the civil damage law, which makes
the owner or lessor of premises on which in
toxicating liquors are sold jointly liable with
the tenant for any damage done by an iutoX-
icated person who has been supplied with
liquor on such promises The Court Of APP
peals now afiirms the judgment of the lower
courts, thus establishing the liability of own
ers or landlords of any premises in the State
used in the liquor business for damages done
by any drunken person who may procure
liquor at such places. If n man should get
intoxicated in q New York saloon and commit
a murder, infict a wound or do any injury to
person or property while in that condition
the landlord or owner of the premises would
under this decision, be liable not only for
damages actually sustained by the parties in
interest, but for exemplary damages as well.

therefor to the Mr.. Hopkins whose silhouette

A Pretty STRONG TESTIMONIAL. The Ru-
raj New Yorker, a very cautious and conser-
vative paper, endorses Buckeye Cookery"
as follows: "We have purposely delayed
this book for four weeks, in order that its
contents might be put to practical test by
some of the good cooks near or distantly con-
nected with the Rurai's editorial staff and
we thought il might be like that famous pud-
ding, and the proof of its exoellencies would
come from eating some of the dishes it SO
clearly tells how to prepare. Now comes the
report of said jury, to wit That the " Buck
eye Cookery Book" is one of the very best,
if not the best, work of its kind in the Eng
lish language.

Spend Your Money at Homo.

An exchange gives the following rcas- ons why people should spend their money at home, They are so forcihle and well put that we cannot refrain from giving them 10 our readers, hoping that they will give them the consideration they deserve:
 1st It is your home; you cannot i'm prove il much by taking money away to spend or invest.
 2d. There is no way of improving d place so much as by encouraging good merchants, good schools, and good peo- pie among you. and this cannot be done unless you spend your moEey at home.
 Sd. Spend your money at home; le- cause if il is necessary for you to get credit, it is from your own merchants you have to gel, and they must wait for the money. Therefore when you get the cash, spend it at home.
 4th. Spend your money at home IL will make better nert hants, they can and will keep better assortment and cell at lower rates than if the oily busi ness they Can do is to credit out, while ihe money is to so to other places.
 5th. Spend your money at nome. Tour merchants are your neignbors. your friends; they stand by you in sick ness--are your associates without your trade they cannot help your business. No stores, then Do banks, none wait lag to buy property, or to settle and build up your place,
 9th. Spend your money at home. What do yon gain by going off Count the cost l; Sec what you could have done at home by letting your merchants have the Cash. Strike balance and see if you would mol have been just as well off besides helping your merchants,
 Let merchants, churches, societies and people, all patronize home enterprise, home industry aud home trade. So they [ iall all he prosperous and happy.
