OF the failures given of the past,
six months II were in West Virginia,
and the liabilities were S19S, ,S2S.-
The failures for the same period of
1885 were "a, with liabilities amount
ing to 1921, 127.
From these facts the summary has
this conclusion: - There is therefore
a greater disposition TO extend busi-
ness operations in the full knowledge
of the last six months than at any
time for some years past. There is n
sense of relief in the minds of mer-
chants, bankers, and capitalists, aris-
ing more or less out of the events of
the past six months. in the belief that
the worst that could be expected from
the unfavorable conditions has 0c-
Cured, and, further, that for the fu4
ture there is n much better and clear
er prospect for the commerce of the
country. The miracle is that under
such strain mercantile disasters so
few and insignificant have occurred.
1t shows how solid are the founda-
tions of the business fabric, that
shocks so severe could lie borne with
so little damage. 1t is true that the
profits realized have been very slight
in many sections of the country, and
that, notwithstanding an extremely
favorable opening of the season and
n steady increase in the volume of
business in the last few weeks, the
results of the first six months of the
year in the shape of returns are not
mt all satisfactory. For the remain
der of the year, however, the pros
pect is more than usually good
There seem to be fewer disturbing
elements than ever before, confidence
is almost universally restored, the
promise of an abundant harvest is
well assured, and the autumn season
is now looked forward to as likely to
yield very liberal returns in trade
and banking circles.

Coughs Apostrophe to Water.

Look at this, We thirsty ones of
earth! See it's purity! How it glitters
as if mass of liquid gems! 1t is n
beverage that was brewed by the
hand of the Almighty himself Not
in the simmcring still or smoking firet
choked by poisonous gases and sur
rounded by the stencil of sickcning
odors and rank corruption doth our
Father in Heaven prepare the precious
essence of life, pure cold water; but
in the green glade and messy dell,
where the red deer wanders and the
child loves to play; there God brews
it; and down, down in the deep Fal-
Ieys, where the fountains murmer
and the riIIs sing; high up in the tall
mountain tops, where the naked gran
ite gIittcrs like gold in the sun, whero
storm clouds brood and the Storm
clouds crash and away far out on the
wild sea, where the hurricanes howl
music and the big waves roar the cho-
rus-sweeping the march of Cod
there He brews it, that beverage of
life-heaIth-giying water.
And everywhere it is 4 thing of
beauty cleaning in the dew drop
singing in the summer rain-shinIng
in the ice gems, till the trees all seem
ed turned into living jeweIs-spread-
ing golden veil over the setting sun,
or white gauZe around the midnight
moon-sporting in the cataract, sleep
ing in the glaciers-dancing in the
hail shower-folding its bright curtain
about the windy world. aud weaving
the many colored iris, that seraph's
zone Of the sky-who5e warp is the
rain drop of earth, whose woOf is the
sunbeam of heaven, nil checkcred over
with the celestial flowers. by the mys-
tic hand of refraction-stiii always it
is beautiful, that blessed life-wateri
No poison bubbles on its brink its
foam brings no sadness or murder; no
blood stains its Iimpid glass: broken
hearted wives, pale widows and starv-
ing orphans shed no tears in its depths
no drunkard's shrieking ghost from
the grave curses it in words of eternal
despair. Beautiful, pure, blessed
and glorious! Give me forever the
sparkling, pure cold water.

ton and influence, makes the following
editorial comment;
Mr.. Francis Murphy has a son. He fol-
lows the same profession as his iatler
that Ia, he Is q professional temperance
evangelist. The profession is frequently
Lucrative one, and none the less honor
able for being lucrative. We hope Mr. I,
L.. Murphy will have as much success In
the profession he has chosen as his father
has had, We regret, therefore, that he ID

and partly on his fathers, 10 Rssassinate

Really there Ia no reason why he should

Es.ay That Ought to Have Been Framed.

An Essay That Ought to Have Been Framed,
London Standard,
The following story comes lrom q school
in the midlands; 1.-THE master told the
boys Of the third class 10 write q short c.
say on Columbus. The following was
sent up by an ambitious essaylst: "Clum'
bus wa q man who could make an egg
stand on end without breaking It. The
King Of Spain said TO Clumbus: Can you
discover America Yes said Clumbus,
Ityou will give me Aship.' So he had q
ship aud sailed over the sea in the direc'
ton where he thought America ought 70
be found. The sailors quarreled and said
they believed there was no such place.
