The Struggle of q Bankrupt
Family TO Curtail Expenses and
Keen Hin aarau

Keep Up Appearances.
1t only requires a little imagination to
picture the miseries Of family when bank
ruptcy is impending. The struggle to keep
up appearances; the impossibility Of cur
failing expenses lest suspicion be aroused;
the dem and for ready money to defrsy nee
essary expenses, and the lack of it as great
as that which exists among the street mer-
chants; to ride in your carriage and look
with envy upon the laborer who ear ms and
is paid his pittance; to be obliged to resort
to subterfuge when servants wages are due;
not to be able TO pay the bills of trades. peo-
pie when presented; to feel that your life
is a lie, and you a fraudi How many are
living Just such lives?
How many there are to-day who feel that
the sword is suspended above their heads
by only q hair, and that at any moment it
may fall. Only recently a gentleman of
Louisville. KY, who is reputed to be worth
SIS, 000, 900, said to his wife when he kissed
her good-by on his way to the city: AIf
this were only another Sundayl Then /
would know that nothing could happen.
But every other day has its anxieties."
Many are still anxious and hourly expect
ing something to happen which will make
matters worse, for all feel that the troubles
are far from being over, and say the worst
is vet to come. 1t is with such painful
forebodings that men now go TO their places
Of business. Confidence has been destroyed
by the frequency of defslcations where least
expected, failures which disclose r~ottenness
and treachery where least suspected.
There are many more who are to be laid
low befor the business of the country is es-
tablished on 8 more secure basis, and there
must be less extravaganza.
