When | WAS a young man, there
lived in our npigliborIool farmer
who was usually reported to he q
very liberal man, and uDconmonly
upright in his dealings. When he
had any of the produce of his farm
to dispose Of, no made It an invari-
able rnle to give good measure
rather moro than would be required
Of him. One OF his friends observ-
ing him frequently doing SO, qnes-
tiQped him as to Why be did It; no
told him he gayc too much, aud
said II would be to liisdisadvantage.
Now, dear rea,ler, mark the answer
of this excellent man.:
God has permitted me but one
journey through the world, and
when | am gone cannot return to
rectify Mistakes
Think OF this. There is but one
Journey through life.

The three democratic organizations of

Governor Cleveland as their candidate
for the Presidencyr Roswell P. Flower.
it is rumored has a big barrel on tap for
necessary and legitimate expenses, but
there is scarcely probability that he
will get more than five votes from this
city. Mr.. Flower does not seem to have
made any serious Roadway in his can
vass He has many friends, but few of
them regard him as a strong candidate.
On the other hand, Governor Cleveland
has the support of the county democracy,
Tammany Hall and Irving Hall. AL
talk of a quarrel among these organiza-
lions has died out, and yesterday there
was q perfect harmony Of sentiment. In
the light of past bitter experiences, and
in the face Of the great opportunity of
fered to the democratic party at large in
the coming Presidential campaign, the
metropolitan factions have resolved tc
bury all differences and be unit in favor
of Governor Cleveland Statements tC
the contrary are mere twaddle in the in
terest of small-fry aspirants for the en-
dOrsement Of the Saratoga convention.
