The stock speculation to-day developed feverIsh
tone, that aiternated between strength and weak
ness. The opening of the market a dlsappOint-
ment TO majority Of the operators, because instead
Of being buoyant at an advance il was dull at a
Decline. After that however, a more cheerful feel
ing prevailed when prices recovered, but the end
again was clouded by lower prices that in ma
lonty of cases were not equal TO the final ones Of
Saturday The Northwestern shares were the prom
inent features OF the days speculation, being active
and higher; although not closing at their
BEST figures they were an exception to the rule in
showing gains in final sales. ST. Paul preferred
stock was another that even after 6s per cent de-
cline from best figures, closed i per cent higher
than on Saturday. But ST. Paul common, Lake
chOre, Michigan Central Canada Southern Della

dooed at fractional decline from the last salos of

THE DAISY'S PROPHECY.

erich man, poor man, beggar-man,
thief, doctor, lawyer-there Julia, my
fate is at last decided Three times the
daisy has said | am to marry LAWYER;

Hartw6lrs well stocked farm; Or the
significance of Squire Days glances in
to om pew at church, and Kate Nor
rison looked up into her elder sisters
face and laughed merrily. Julia's an
noyed expression was very amusing to
her.
You are so foolish, Kate said Mrs.
Bertram in tone of vexation. "Not a
day passes that you do not get some new
freak into your head; and you are as
persistent and stubborn in clinging to it
aS-aS-n
"a MULE said Kate, as her sister
heSitated for comparison. "Don't be
afraid Of hurting my feelings, Julia; you
know am hardened to seedlings, and
willing to confess that l do cling to ar
idea with tolerable firmness. But | al
ways did believe in telling fortunes by
the June daisies, and | am morally GER
tain that | shall marry a lawyer lshal
wait for him if | am as gray as bad
GER when ne comes along" and agaiI
Kate laughed, tossing her long curls witt

At SEA.

Worn vOyagers, who watch for land
Across the endless wastes of sea,
Who gaze before and on each hand,
Why look ye not to what ye fee?
The stars, by which the sailors steer
Not always rise before the prov,
Though forward nOught but clouds appear
Behind they may be breaking now.
What though we may not turn again
To shores of childhood that we leave
Are those old signs we followed vain?
Can guides so oft found true deceive?
Oh, sail we to the South or North,
Oh, sail we to the East or West,
The port from which we first put forth
Is our hearts home, is our life's best!

Who ever heard of measuring the abil-
ity of lawyer by the number of years
he had practiced at the bar, or the ca
pacity of military commander by the
nuniher of years he had held command,
or the skill of doctor by the length of
years he has administered calomel to
his salivating patients?"-Dr. Foote's

About eleven or twelve years back
Mr.. Disraeli was in Leeds, and he was
waited upon by the Secretary of a GER
tain institution in that town, who asked
him to give lecture or an address. He
first made several excuses, then refused
utterly, and at last, being further
pressed, said: We'll, I will come and
give you an address this time ten years. :"
