the imparting to others the knowl-
edge we have obtained. We must
be useful in our day and generation,
and what ever we can assist our tel-
lows, this must be our object. One
way of making life truly enjoyable
is by impartjng to others that OF
which we ourselves have happily
become possessed.
oft is better to wear out than TO
rust out" and by giving to others
that knowledge which we may have
acquired, Will our own powers be
strengthened, and our influence ez-
tended. He that has no definite
course to pursue must be a miserable
being, feeling not the Importance OF
life, knowing not his aims and there
fore failing to appreciate It's purest
enioyments. He has but an empty
soul; his mind is one vast blank;
no beautiful vision meets his men,
tai gaze; no flower speaks to his soul;
he hears no music in the winds or the
waves; nature to- him is closed book;
science, aye, and literature, one
mighty maze. Take, then, some OBJ

PANICS IN PRICES.

When the fact became known to
the great grain and produce dealers
in the large cities few weeks ago
that there would be a general short
age Of crops this year in nearly all
portions of the United States,
panic in prices commenced First
in wheat, when it was learned that
the crop was 9O,OOQ,OOO bushels
short, and wheat jumped up from
Sl.10 to $l.40--now quoted at SLAP
for No. 2 red in st. Louis. Next
oats advanced to 42c, followed by o
still greater advance in corn--from
about 43c in July to 63c cash Sept,
&C IL Oct, 81 5-0 Nov, 6S l-2 Dec,
and 73c year. When Bradstreet's
report from all the cotton-growing
districts was published in the early
part of last week, by which he esti-
mated a shortage this year of 27 per
cent, cotton rose to l4c IN St. Louis
almost within one day; but later
reports being somewhat more favor
able, a slight reaction ensued, and
prices paid last Saturday were as
follows: st. Louis-Low ordinary,
I 1,8c; ordinary, 8 Is; good ordi-
nary, 9 3-8; low middIing, 10 3-S;
middling, II 3-S; good middling,
II rs, and middling fair, II rs.
The panic even extended to dried
and canned fruits, "corners" upon
which were gotten up by few
parties buying out the market, and
the prices of those goods advanced
nearly so per cent. Cotton domes-
tics and prints advanced last week
half a cent a yard. The tobacco
market has become excited and
higher, with prospects of further
advance. Sugar, bacon, and many
other articles share in the upper
tendency Of prices.

No doubt farmers could raise a crop

dried-up corn lands if copious rains
fell soon, but they might as we'll

cock replied with much warmth,
that he believed Mr.. Arthur to be a

one purpose, that of benefitting the

THE OBJECT OF LIFE.

To live should be our highest aim.
By this is not meant the mere phys
ical act of living, but that develop
ment of all our powers with which
we are endowed-that striving after
perfection-that attainment of knowl-
edge which should be the great aim
of our existance. TO some men, life
is one dull, monotonons round; no
yellow ears ofcorn are gathered from
the workings of their brain. Some
fancy they have attained the very
acme of manhood if they can puff a
cigar or twirl a walking stick; but
such is surely not the highest style
of man. Of such, when their sand
glass has run, no fossil trace will be
left, telling to future generations
their story-no "footprints on the
sands of time!"
The first object of life should be to
get knowledge, and "with all getting
to get understanding" 1t any dis
tingulshed position in lite is to be
obtained, it can. only be realized by
superior knowledge combined with
stability and true moral worth. He
that would keep pace with the march
ofcivilization must know something;
he must make himself acquainted
with all that he can. The greater
his knowledge the greater his power,
because knowledge is power. Life
can only bo heightened by the at
tainment of knowledge; it enables
us to do as much in three months as
| could otherwise be done in twelve.
Some men may be said TO be young
at sixty, while another shall be old
at thirty; and why? Because the for
mer only knows the alphabet of
knowledge; the latter is acquainted
with the language oft. Everything
to him means something; each peb-
BILE is volume, each drop Of water
an ocean Of life. The true liver
makes it his busin css to inquire into
the operation of Gods laws, to dis
cover, If he can, some hidden prin-
ciple which shall advance the intel.
Hgencc of the age in which he has
his being. Yet it is not to be sup
posed that we can make ourselves
acquainted with every department
Of science and art; but there is
enough of healthy thought in every
portion of the universe. He that
cannot scan the heavens can, per-
haps search the bowels of the earth.
He that cannot call the lightning to
his aid can, perhaps, play with the
sunbeam, and make it his servant.
God never calls person into exist
ence without giving him capacity
for Improvement; all are fitted
for something, that something we
should discover and humbly prose-
cute to the best of our ability. Let
| there lie in us fixed determination
to excel in something; Let US feel
that h at we " haveea power wshioh All Uth-
ers do not possess, and let us be con-
scious that our future well-being de-
pends upon the right use ofthis pow
or; let us raise ourselves above me-
diocrity, and take our stand one step
higher in the ladder of advancement:
let us throw light upon something,
let US hold fast to the truth and re-
ject error.
But another aim Of life must be

NIT the serious blunder Of setting aside the
wise policy of his predecessor in order to show
the country that he is capable of originating a
policy of his own. The change he might make
would be more in men than in principles and
methods of administration. We give him
Icredit, however, for too much sagacity ard
patriotism to suppose that he will make changes
which would tend to revive past controversies
No one knows better than he that this is no
time to blow upon the expiring embers of fac
tional strife
Let lis not borrow trouble. General Arthur
is President of the. United States until the
Fourth of March, 1885. 1t is the part of pat
rotism to hope all good things from his Admin
iotration and to give nim words of cheer and
confidence at the outset of an arduous task
which comes to him unso light. The Presidency
is laid upon him Il heavy burden by the hand
OF death. We believe there is no feeling in his
heart save one of grief and anxiety. He needs
the sympathy and help of the whole Nation.
Let there be no stones of unjust criticism and
suspicion cast at him.

unprecedented honOrs been paid. The tribute
was due and is paid to James A. Garfield, q
rare and splendid specimen of true manhood
The same feeling rules here. Millions who did
not vote for him, and who would not have
voted for him again had he lived and been a
candidate, bow their heads in real grief
because the man has died. His noble nature
4 has won the hearts of millions. By ALL here
and abroad, he is loved the more because in
spite of all obstacles and trials, he raised him
self from The life of child of toll to full ct
ness for the loftiest station. The man is
/ loved less for what he did than for what he
was. Men found him worthy of place by
the side of the best and greatest Kings
remembered whence he came and what he had
to overcome, and were thrilled with love and
admiration.
In other lands, where true manhood has
small chance to rise from low beginnings. the
feeling of sympathy and love may well be
keen for reasons which do not here exist.
There the bright career of the dead hero tells
what complete fitness for the highest duties
and responsibilities can be developed by free
institutions, in men whose lives would
otherwise be passed in humble toll.
Men honor in Mr. Garfield type of
the wonderful development which is pos
\ sible to the free man. Hence it is that the
feeling of the people is everywhere more keen
and deep and more strong in expression, than
that of the rulers Fine manhood and rare
fitness for high duties ought to be produced
10y exceptional culture and choice opportuni-
I ties. But when a man lifts himself to the
highest station, and to full capacity for all the
cares and labors, the responsibilities an
duties, of the very highest station, in spite of
all the accidents which lock and bar the gates
lof fortune against the best and bravest in other
lands, we honor not only free institutions but
our common manhood, in doing honor to his
memory. Much of this feeling, no doubt, ex-
lists in other lands, where it finds but little
expression. The death of the late President
was in one way, IA stain upon our Republic,
and yet the honor paid to him is II rec
ogntion of the excellence of those free in
stitutions upon which the Republic is based.
1t is not strange that his work is not yet
fully appreciated even by his countrymen.
Those who had met every act of his with
harsh criticism or blind abuse are slow ia see
that his deeds have won lasting fame. Their
i'll nature VIII trouble only themselves. The
fame of the late President is secure. The i'm
partial verdict of history, when rendered, will
not disappoint those who have valued he man
and his work most highly. His name will
live, high on the roll Of fame, long after those
who carp at him have been forgotten.
