Railroad Earnings.

Says the Boston Aduertiser: Let us take single case, imaginary of course. The director of railroad finds, from information which he has obtained in his official character, that the receipts of his road are smaller than usual. h. formation so received is received for the benefit of the stockholders, and to them it belongs. But the director, acting as such, publishes to his stockholders and to the world at large a false statement, which shows that the business of the road has been more than usually profit able. If, through long experience, men distrust such statement, he gives it out that he himself is buying largely into the stock, which, in fact, he is selling with might and main. This state of things continues as long as he sees fit, and at last comes the crash which may ruin the shareholders, but must enrich the director. For, even if his false statement should unexpectedly be made true by an increase of business, nothing is more simple than to tell second falsehood, and thus depress the price of the stock. This sort of cheating and thieving differs from the crime of the common counterfeiter or thief only in the amount of money involved but there is good reason to fear that the director of corporation who, without regard to the interests of the share holders whom he represents, makes use of his position for personal gain, is re- garded by large part of the public to be, not as as thief or cheat on large scale, but as clever business man. Herein lies much of the evil, for when a breach of trust is looked upon merely as 8 shrewd business transaction, the crime becomes dangerous, not only to the criminal and his victim but the whole community.

The New York Landlord.

The New York tenant house landlord Is severe one. It is doubtless if there IS anything of the kind in Ireland that will compare with him. Here is an in- stance related of one, and the case is but one of hundreds that are daily occur ring there:
 My landlord came to me ill the morn- ing on the first of May and said to me, " Your rent is $3 higher. If you don't choose to pay it, why move out to-day at 12 o'clock, noon." I said to him, " We'll, then, I will have to move out, for l can't afford the advance on the rent; but I can't move to-day. have got to pack my household goods and hunt up another place to live in."' " Well" he says to me, "you will have to pay the advance or be put out before 5 o'clock to-day.' We'll, I thought to myself, three days time the law gives, will have time to hunt up cheaper apartments and pack my household goods. But I found out I was mis- taken. At a quarter past 12 o'clock I was served with dispossess to be out of the premises inside of two hours. At about 3 o'clock the marshals came and moved my'furniture out on the sidewalk. Then l was in terrible fix. had to run around and hunt up 8 place, and take any could get. I had to take a place entirely unsuitable for my family. and will have to move next month again. and that will be more money out of my pocket-all on account of an unjust law.

Willing to Do Anything.
While a skillful workman can get e

While skillful workman can get en- ployment at good wages in New York, those who are "willing to do anything which means that they know how to do little or nothing-have no chance at all there are hundred applicants for every vacancy. "No small number of the searchers for places," says re- porter who has examined the subject, Care native Americans. With neither trade nor profession, they are forced to take whatever offers-and nothing offers. Many of them are educated men, who can conjugate a Greek verb with out difficulty. But Greek verbs. how ever ornamental, are very poor stock in trade. A thorough classical education. however desirable it may be, is of little use in the employment market unless backed by some useful practical know ledge. College graduates are found standing on every corner looking for work. If any person should desire to ride up Broadway in coach drawn by a score of accomplished collsgians, he would have no difficulty in employing them, even if he offered them no more than their board" A man who chad pawned his clothes to pay for his adver- tisement advertises that he wants work of any kind where he can earn his board.

"I Can and I Wiu.0

A writer iu the Evongetistt tells story to illustrate the difference between s'I can't" and ''I can and will" The differ ence between the two phrases is just the difference between victory and defe at, and the story, we trust, will so impress our readers that they will adopt the lat ter as their motto:
 know of boy who was preparing to enter the Junior Glass of the New York University. He was studying trigonom- etry, and gave him three examples for his next lesson.
 The following day he came into my room to demonstrate his problems. Two of them he understood, but the third a very difficult one-he had not per formed. I said to him.
 ''Shall Hhelp you ?"
 "No, sir can and will do it, if you will give me time."
 l said, T will give you all the time you wish"
 The next day he came into my room to recite a,lesson in the same study.
 well, Simon, have you worked that example?"
 "No, sir" he answered, "but I can and will do it, if you will give me lit tie more time"
 Certainly; you shall have all the time you desire"
 always like these boys who are de- termined to do their own work; for they make our best scholars, and men too. The third morning you should have seen Simon enter my room. I knew he had it, for his whole face told the story of his success.
 Yes, he had it, notwithstanding 1t had cost him many hours of the severest mental labor. 7. Not only had he solved the problem, but, what was of infinitely greater i'm. portance to him, he had begun to de- velop mathematical powers, which, under the inspiration of 1T can and will, he has continued to cultivate, until to- day he is Professor of Mathematics in one of our largest colleges, and one of the ablest mathematicians of his years in our country.

How a Pasture is Made.

Pastures require care just as much as land devoted to other purposes. De- slrable vegetation must be kept in and undesirable vegetation kept out. Places that become unproductive must be at- tended to before weeds and moss take possession of them. If the soil IS hard and poor it should be softened and en- riched. An effort should be made to seed each kind of soil with the kind of grass and clover that is best adapted to it. Red top will do best on land that is quite moist; Alsike or Swedish clover will be most productive on soils that are moderately moist while white clover will succeed best on hill sides. Some timothy and red clover are- desirable in every pasture, but they cannot be relied on to remain very long. It is generally best to mow pasture after the grasses have thrown up seed stalks in the latter part of the summer. These stalks will not be eaten, and by cutting them off the growth of foliage IS encouraged. The use of the moving machine and scythe is beneficial in destroying many weeds that would otherwise mature seed. Bushes of all kinds should be rooted out as soon as they make an appearance, for they are likely to spread and occupy considerable ground. The droppings of cattle and horses should be broken up and scattered before they become very hard and iniure the vege- tation in the immediate vicinity of them. If they remain long on the ground where they are deposited they will kill the grass below them, and cause a growth of rank grass that stock will not eat in the vicinity of them. By scatter ing them considerable amount of grass is benefited and none is injured. If practical, other fertilizers than those produced in the pasture should be scat tered over the surface of the ground. If stable manure is used, 1t should be fine and we'll rotted.
Connecticut western news., 1882-05-24
Strawberry Beds.

The soil of strawberry beds should not be stirred in spring, or indeed until after the crop is gathered, which will prevent the fruit from being soiled. As an additional precaution slight clean mulch of cut straw, tanbark, or other similar material should be placed over the surface, pushing it carefully close to the plants and under their foliage Strawberries are very fond of moisture, especially when the fruit is setting and growing, so that if slight stream of water can be turned on the beds, and thus irrigated once >or twice week, beneficial results are apt to follow, especially during a dry time. It is 8 mistaken idea that this fruit does not require rich soil, and that plenty of well-rotted manure will induce a super abundance of foliage but not core, spending return of fruit. Water DOT tion of the plants with weak solution of liquid manure, and mark the differ ence in the fruit produced by those in contrast with the remainder of the bed. After the fruiting season then stir the soil carefully. Tribune.
