A RetrOspectiOn,

All, hum. How the wheels of time
speed round--how the gathering years
crowd thick and fast how the maelstrom
swirls as we are drawn nearer the vor-
tex-how old tempus does fugit. And
yet it was not always thus. Looking
back Y our shoulder TO see il the
girl is Airting) to the years that now,
alas, are past and gone, we see a fair
haired boy. All, but his hair was fair
fairer than the luscious strawberry nest
ling in the fraudulent box in the early
spring-time, at eighty cents a quart
fairer than the golden carrot as it swims
among the grease-drops on the surface
of d plate of soup-fair as the lily, the
marigold, the daffo .down.dilly. Fair,
fair.
How long the days were then. The
forenoon was an epoch; the afternoon q
measureless cycle Of time. A piece of
bread and butter at half-past nine, and
another at eleven, mitigated our suffer
ings and stayed the hunger which con-
sumed us during the lapse Of time be-
tween breakfast and dinner. Aud the
doses would have to be repeated in the
afternoon, and just before going to bed.
What a change in all this twenty years
have wrought. There is no 'piecing be-
tween meals now; no, indeed. And din
ner seems to come so soon after break
fast that we are almost inclined not to
be bothered with it. And supper is a
thankless task.
The years seem to gather momentum
as they pass; each succeeding n being
shorter than its predecessor. We see
how it is-we are on the down grade,
and there are no brakes. We are rush.
ing along with increasing velocity-to-
day we are bald-headed; tomorrow we
shall be teothless, next day gray, and
then-ah, then, the silent b%one-yard. 1t
is not a pleasant prospect. Let us look
the other way--let us shake EN- back.
What was it that caused us to fall into
this train of thought? oh, yes-this
aged bill from a shoemaker. We prom
ised to pay the man next week, and now
the account is outlawed | 1t beats all.
Time should not fly so fast.

The Ranacions MIssissinni.

The town of Oovington, Iowa, situated
on a bend Of the Mississippi, bids fair to
soon disappear beneath the current OF
tho Father Of Waters. The ground on
which the courthouse stood a year ago
is now covered by many feet of swiftly
flowing water. The cutting away is
done by fits and starts. One day the
current sets inshore and slices off thirty
or forty feet, and perhaps a week elapses
before any further damage occurs. Then
about q half dozen buildings are moved
back some thirty feet, and tho next land
on which they stood has oil gone. The
citizens have tried to moor trees and
logs to the bank in the hope Of forming
u barrier for the food, but the current
is so swift and the water 30 deep that oil
these attempts have failed. To give On
idea OF what the town Of Covington has
suffered in the past Eve years, the case
Of the ferryhouse and principal hotel
may be in%stanced. Two years ago there
we're 600 feet OF land between the build.
ings and the river bank; now you can
toss q stone out Of the hotel window into
the river, and the buildings are being
put on rollers for removal.

Still Maintaining he was Right.

Freeman, the Focassett Mass Ad-
%ventist, who murdered his little daugh-
ter under a fanatical delusion that God
would restore her to life, and who is still
in jail at Barnstable, refuses to take any
legal advice, and says, should the State
furnish him counsel, he will not permit
him to smooth over the facts to make q
good defense. He continues to assume
that he was justified Of God in slauRh-
tering his child. His wife, who, shortly
after her arrest, seemed to see the NOR
nifty Of the deed, has again fallen under
the old delusion, and thinks her hus-
band did perfectly right in sacrificing
the child. They both talk nationally
upon every other subject.

Confidence In Leaders RemIsIie.


General Loagstreet, as reported by on
interviewer, expresses his belief that
moro depends ON the commanding Off
Ger than the bravery Of the men under
him in order TO ecure a victory in bat
tie. He remarks: As / said before,
individual bravery amounts TO very little
in a battle. Men must be fought in
blocks aud masses, just az parts OF q
machine. Nearly everything depends
upon the commander. II the men have
confidence in him and his movements,
they will stand by him TO the end. They
will actually come to feel safer in fol-
lowing him, no matter where he leads,
than in breaking away from him. A
good general can take an army Of China
mon and whip an army OF Englishmen,
il the latter are improperly handled
No matter how brave men are, they will
not fight il they feel that they are in
doubtful and unskillful hands. This
principle explains the wonderful victo-
ries Of the French under the first Napo-
leon. 1 was once dining with Horace
Greeley said the general, becoming a
bit discursive, 'and he asked mt il it
was not necessary to swear at your men
and 'whoop them up as the saying goes,
1 replied that I thought not. There is
nothing like quiet assurance and conf.
dence. l once sent out a brigade to
occupy a certain point. Asst was mount
ing a little crest it came full upon i'm
mense moses Of Federals. The men
were panic stricken, and thought l had
made a mistake in ordering them for
ward. They halted, irresolute, and then
dropped down upon the ground. II was
important that they should advance and
make a feint, at least. therefore rode
quietly through their ranks on to the
crest, and there hating my horse, ad.
justed my glasses, and calmly surveyed
the scene in front. l turned carelessly
around, and, as / expected, there was
my brigade at my back, every mar in
position ready for anything-conadent
and assured.

What is Capital.

Professor BoDamy Price, the we'll
known English writer on political
economy, takes the trouble 10 correct
some very common misapprehensions
into which thepress has fallen in regard
to the meaning of ho word capital AM
things which it really signifies. No
term is more abused and more mislead-
ing, no says, than the common one, the
employment Of capital The common
notion that a man who is in search Of an
investment into which 10 put his money
is possessed OF capital ia, according to
Professor Price, radically wrong. A
man who has metallic coin in his pos.
session has capital, but if lie uses it TO
buy something with, he has simply q
purchasing tool, a means OF transferring
capital from his hands 10 the hands of
somebody elsa work which can as
well be done by the banker and the gen.
eral machinery Of credit. A bank, says
Mr.. Price, has no capital. when O
great banker (Mr. Hoace) was asked by
q parliamentary committee what was
the amount of the capital employed in
his business, he replied, the value of
the desks and stools in my Office Mr..
Hoace could think and understand. A
depositOr at a bank owns debt, a claim,
against that debt the bank in turn owns
q debt from a borrower; two entries on
its ledger are the only realities which
exist at the bank. There is no capital
here, but debt only. The buyer with a
check is not employing capital which
BIO has in his hand; he is purchasing
something with a debt. That something
may be commodity, or it may be what
is called an investment. Capital comes
forward for consideration only after the
purchase is completed The proper
definition Of capital, according to Prof.
Price, is the application of commodities
to production, as when the seller of a
bond uses the money received for it in
producing cotton and wheat or i'll manu-
featuring. But if after selling the bond
the money is spent in luxury or waste,
it is simply a consumption or destruc.
ton of wealth, and if that wealth has
been formerly used as capital, the spend
thrift has destroyed some OF the capital
of his country. 1t is only too common
in ordinary talk and writing to confuse
credit, wealth and capital together, as if
they were the same things.

Alone.

She stands beside the cottage door
To watch the dying day,
Her raven hair issTrinkled DER
With fakes Of silver grsyi
And many a line OF sadness sears
That pale yet lovely face,
To mark where slow and silent tears
Have loft their lasting trace.
And still her Whispered thoughts will tell
or scenes that are no more,
And scan the once.loyed forms that dWelt
On Mem'ry's shAdoEy shore;
Again the little cot to deck
That now so empty stands
Again 10 feel around her neck
Tho touch Of tiny hAnds.
How long, the weary spirit cries,
Within this world Of pain,
Ere meath the neYer-fading skies
Inject them once again?
And as she views the silver night,
Slow sweeping to She west,
A murmured prayer in faith takes flight
To Him who giyeth rest.
