And if he is bad now and then,
And makes 4 great rackctinw noise
They only look oveS their specs
And say, "Ah, boys will be boys.
Life is only short at The best;
Let the children be happy today"
Then they look for 4 whil" at the sky,
And the hills that are far. far away.
Quite oftrn as twilight comes on
GrannmOthrrs sing hymns very low
TO themselves. as they rock hv the fire.
About heaven. and where they shall

A Word to Send-a-Ways.

nexchange talks thus wisely on bus
mess. We doubt If any branch of bust
ness suffers as much from the habit of
sending outside for goods as much as
the printing business, not that more in
this line goes outside than in others, but
after sending outside individuals and
associations come around and with a
manner child-like and bland expect the
home newspaper to boom them and their
cause. II is the gall they show that
hurts the poor printer. The paper says:
Our theory is community should be
patrOnizcd in preference to going else
where, providing the public can be serv-
ed as we'll at home. 1t is too frequently
the case that things are considered bet
ter away, when in reality they are not,
nor are they AZ cheap all things consid-
cred. Travelling representatives from
other towns are often encouraged to the
neglect of home with loss in dollars
and cents to the purchaser, in nine eases
out of ten. A case came under our OBJ
seryation few days since where party
in town could have had superior quality
of work and saved money by patr0niz-
ing home rather than sending away.
Communities prosper by mutual coop
Grafton and support. The Book says
"He who provides not for his own house
hold is worse than an infidel.' Applying
this to the relations OF community,

the world afterward will be readily
