An old Boston merchant recently
remarked:
1--we stood here on State stree, for
forty years. and | have seen men
accumulate fortunes BY speculation,
and I've seen these fortunes disappear.
| have seen men 60 up il worldly
wealth, and go down, aud I've 81
ways noticed that those persons who
were content with slow gains and s
per cent. interest cane 0ut ahead 10
the long run"
The result Of the old merchants
observations is abGnd2ntlv confirmed
by the history of the trade and finance
ofevery commercial city Of the world
Strict adherence 10 honorable and
legitimate methods of business
sometimes slow, bnt always sure--is
the secret Of the soiiGity attained by
almost every man Of wealth who hss
accumulated fortune ia business aud

The Jingiing Bells.

How many boys and girls know
how the juggling bells are made !?
How do you think the little iron ball
gets rs de the bell ? 1t is TOO big TO
be pat through the holes in the bell,
and it is inside. How did it get
there?
The little iron ball is called "tAe
jinglet." WbeR goa shake the sleigh
bells il jingles. When tie horse
trots the bells jingle, jingle, jingle.
In making the bell this jinglet is put
inside g little ball of mud, just the
shape inside of the bell. This mud
ball with the jinglet inside is placed
in the mould OF the outside, and the
melted metal is poured in, which fills
up the mold.
When the mold is taken of, you
see sleigh bell, but it would not ring,
as it is full of dirt. The hot metal
dries the dirt that the ball is made Of,
so it can be all shaken out After
the dirt is all shaken out of the holes
in the bell, the little iron, jiaglet will
still be ia the bell, aud it will ring all
rl,ght.
1t took good many years to think
out Low to make sleigh bell.

BOIL 1T DOWN.


Whatever you have to say, my friend,
Whether witty, OF grave, or gsy,
Condense as much as ever You can,
And say in the readiest way;
And whether you write ON rural affairs,
particularly things in the town,
Just word of friendly advice
Boil it down
For ifyou go splattering over page
When a couple OF lines would do,
Your butter is spread so much, you see.
That The bread looks plainly through.
SO when YOU have q story to tell,
And would like little renown,
To make quite SURE OF your wish, my friend,
Boil IL down
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try,
To utter your thoughts in the fewest words,
And let it be crisp and dry;
And when it is flushed, and you suppose
1t is done exactly brown,
Just look it over again, and then
Boil 1t down
For editors do not like to print
An article lazily long,
And the general reader does not care
For couple OF yards of song.
SO gather your wits in the smallest space
II YOU would win ihe authors crown
And every time you write, nay friend
Boil it down.

Rain 20 Order

General Raggles' plan for making
rain to order by exploding dynamite
in balloons recalls the scheme Dropos-
ed by Professor Espy, some years
ago, for producing rsinoyer the whole
country az once. It is a well-known
fact that lesge conasgrations tend to
cause rain bv sending warm, moist
air into the upper regions of the at
mosphere, where the yapor condenses
and descends again in showers. As
rain storms in the United States have
general motion to the eastward,
Professor Espyssuggested that once
week, Ia the summer tine, line OF
fres extending 500 10 Geo miles il
north and sOath direction, should
be started 10 the far West This, be
calcuisted, would produce belt Of
rain that would sseep sideways 5 across
the country, lasting only two or three
hours in u1y place. aud finally passing
the AJlsatlc sea0oard TO carry CRATE
ful showers and welcome breezes 10
becalmed and sun warped Vessels
many miles out az sea. Tne trouble
with these schemes for improvement
is, that the rain bureau would never
be able TO satisfy all the people to be
rained on 0ne farmer might want
a shower 10 revive bis parching crops,
another would wish fair weather ia
order to harvest bis hey. Rain storms
are uaruly, aud good smart shower,
started for the benefit of New Jer-
sey agriculture, might easily escape
across the North River and pOurce
o Don the unsuspeetiag shoppers and
pedestrians intBrosdway. Upon the
whole, it would seem TO be wiser to
let nature continue to regulate the
rain rather thaa turn that duty over

largest church building in the town. The house
was densely filed. DIR. Plumer's venerable APP

profound attention. The high expectations of
the audience were not disappointed The SER
mon was clear pointed, and forcble presenta-
ton of gospel truth -
DIR. Plumer preached at night in the First
Presbyterian church, a searching discourse to
professors of religion. --.A
Tuesday afternoon Rev J. D. Thomas, of
Wytheville, Va, delivered the address before
the two Literary Societies of the College. 1t
was an appropriate and able address, and was
highly appreciated.
AT night the contest for the King Oratorical
medal came off. Eight students delivered
speeches and acquitted themselves with marked
credit.
Wednesday afternoon Rev. T. M. Mcconnell
delivered the address before the Alumni an ex-
cellent address, handsomely delivered.
