Monopoly.

The subject of monopoly is a queer
thing, and if studied little will show
the greatest inconsistency in human
nature. In making the assertion that
almost every man is a mOnopolist in
practice, although he may be an ardent
opponent of monopoly in theory, we
may be considered as making a wild
assertion, or one which cannot be iusti-
fed by proof. Now let us submit
few of the evidences that will back up
this evidences that come
before us every day.
Let us begin with the farming inter
est, the largest of all others. The
farmer talks anti-mOnOpOly and thinks
himself sincere, but let him have a sim
gle crop of any kind of produce which
none of his brother farmers have been
fortunate to acquire or possess, and
how soon the monopoly principle is ap-
parent. He holds the article at a
higher rate, and will not sell except at
his own price, although that price may
be out of all proportion to the cost OF
production and reasonable profit.
Next, the trader or business man
He, too, is a fierce anti-monopolist as
regards all others; but let him happen
to have an article which is scarce in the
community or stock of goods which
cannot be readily replaced, and wher
replaced, at greatly increased price
how quickly does he practice the
monopoly principle?
Then, the mechanic. He manufac
lures u machine or article which ne
other mechanic has been able or lucky
enough to produce, and Just at tn,
right time to supply the public demand
and what a mOnopOlist he becomes
although in theory he condemns tia
principle and denOunces the practic
in others.
The professional man, too, is
mOnOpOlist. Be he lawyer, doctor o
editor, he monOpolises the business il
| his particular line, and when competi
tion appears, feels that his territory O
domain has been invaded.
Even money, which is supposed t
D be of standard value, is made tn
1 medium of monopoly. Every body
opposed to what is called usury; bu
: let money be SCARCE and only fe,
men have it in sufficient quantity t
Y loan, how quickly does the monopol

V And so of all commodities and bus

RUu.pING IN NEW YoRK.-The New
York Real Estate Record expresses an
opinion, based upon actual statistics,
that more houses will be constructed
in that city during the present year
than in any preceding twelve months
in the history of the country. And not
only has there been a larger addition
than ever to new structures, but the
edifices are roomier and better, and
will cost more money-and this, too,
in spite of depressed trade, and semi
panicky stock market. The Record
thinks this phenomenal activity is due
to two causes the transfer of specuia-
tive activity in Wall street and at the
commercial exchanges to real estate
enterprises, aud the rapid increase of
the population from internal growth
and foreign Immigration. The obser-
vation does not apply to New York
alone. but TO the whole country.

Clasped are the pretty hands,
As ne'er clasped before,
Folded so strange and stin
Forever morel
And the the dear sunny curls,
Fringed so with gold
Drift Ike some tangled vine
Ger marble, cold.
But she passed away gently,
Tender wee thing,
Like a babe, for the world
one shadow could fling,
As the soft, tinted May flower,
Doth blossom and fade,
Leaving a sweet breath
In some lovely glade.
As some bright bird OF passage
sings low and sad,
As II leaving some token
OF Springs that were glad

Has left a sweet breath,
And a song as she passed DER

Meath the green sod,
Bessie rests most securely,
