Debt.

We copy the following from Har-
per's Bazar:
The present system of shopping and
marketing on credit, is radically wrong,
and an injury to all concerned, and
the fault lies about equally with
those who buy and those who sell.
The merchant likes running trade
with his safe customers, because it
gives him hold on their continuance,
and makes his sales larger and more
profitable. The customer likes it be-
cause it evinces his good credit, and
enables him to get what he wants with
out waiting for a full purse. But at
length a settlement comes, and then
the customer is astonished at the
amount of the bill, and his own folly
in purchasing things which his family
could easily have dispensed with.
If you are wise, and will consult
your own comforts and the good Of
others, you will follow the rule, pay as
you go, inhexibly. 1t does not need
the authority Of an apostle to establish
the wisdom of the proverb "Cwe no
man anything" Were this sage pre-
cept universally obeyed, one of the chief
sources of trouble would be taken out
of the civilized world. Besides great
gain in public morals, there would be
saving of economy of living But if
in the management of your property.
you are sometimes asked to give credit
or time for payment, do not fear to
scrutinize the debtor closely. 4 good
customer is never disconnected by it; it
is only the doubtful and the bad who
resent it. Short settlements, however,
make long friendships. A very long
credit account, like note, becomes in
time invalidated. 1t dies of old age.

Speaking of the workings of the
Land League in Ireland, gentleman
thoroughly conversant with the sub
ject recently said AS is well known,
the money collected in this country is
applied TO the relief offamilies evicted
from their homes, of which there are
about 500 a week. When a family
has been evicted little hut called a
Land League house is put upon a
farm of friendly neighbor, or on a
strip of land lying along the public
highway. A little money goes great
way, as an ordinary family can be
supported year on $l25. Acting
under the instructions of the League,
the people resist eviction as long as
they can, barring their doors and de-
flying the authorities, only stopping
short of actual violence. They are
becoming skillful obstructionists, you
might say. The 500 Leagues i'm the
in the United States contribute on an
average of $4,000 week; the total
amount contributed since the move
ment began is about si25, 900.

A NEVADA NOVEL.
True Story OF ths Lives and Loves
OF u Sagsbrush Family.

The r0mances that are put in good shape
by the novelist and newspaper excite great
interest. while those in real life are going on
all the time, are not seen by one in dozen
and yet truth Is stranger than fiction. Few
novels have so much real incident and
strange changes as the following, which Is
given by the Reno Gazette. and which re-
Gently occurred TO a little family in the West
ern part OF the State: 1t consisted of q
father and mother and a bright little boy.
Thoy are we'll thought Of and move in good
society. The father has always been a model
man. He uses no tobacco. never drinks or
swears and never made his wife jealous. They
were married in an Eastern State. and lived
there and here in comfort and in apparent
happiness. Not long ago one of those strange
changes that sometimes comes over the way
ward human heart turned the Wife's affec-
tions away from the husband to center on a
bachelor neighbor. She asked her husband
TO give her divorce, but no refused rs he
said. he had no grounds. She told him that
she loved another man better. He said with
n laugh that that didn't amount to anything
and the pleasant relations that had existed
between all the parties remained unbroken,
so far as the neig b bors could sce The bache-
lor was very attentive, and the woman gave
him every opportunity, while the husband
manifested an utter Indifference. Tho bache-
lor waxed rich in cattle and his trade in mer-
chandise increased, while tho husband by
close attention to business, was providing for
his family and gathering together few head
Of stock that were adding to his frugal for
tune. The deadlock was at last broken. and
just about that time the bachelor went out of
the cattle business by disposing OF 425 head
to his rival in tho lady's affections. and she
was granted a divorce. Whether the divorce
figured in the trade as valuable considera-
tion may not be susceptible of proof, but it is
freely claimed that 1t did. The husband
made trip to the county scat and took home
the divorce and license for marrisge in the
same pocket. and at the wedding of the happy
pair he danced and ate cake, but drank no
wine. As he seemed happy enough without it.
He kept the little boy, but allows him fre-
quent visits to his mammals now home. This
novel might close with-"and they lived hap
PLY together forever AFTER" but for the odd
est part OF the whole story, which is to fol-
low. A little infant appeared on tho scene a
few months after tho marriage, and the new
husband sent the old one bill for nurse and
doctor fees and 1t was promptly paid. Since
that the FIRST husband has been married to
n handsome young lady. and the only draw
back to her happiness is that her friends
jokingly tell her that she is in danger of be-
ing traded of for a band OF horses. What
this story lacks in detail it makes up in truth.
