FRIENDSHIP.

keeping.
Like music heard on the still water,
Like pines when the wind passeth by,
Like pearls In the depth OF the ocean,
Like stars that enamel the sky,
Like June and the odor of roses,
Like dew at the freshness Of morn,
Like sunshine that kisses the clover,
Like tassels OF silk on the corn,
Like notes Of the thrush la the woodland,
Like brooks where the vioIets grow,
Like rainbows that arch the blue heavens
Like clouds when the sun dippeth low,
Like dreams of Acadian pleasures,
Like colors that gratefully blend,
Like everything breathing of pureness,
Like these, is the love Of friend.

1t is often said that capitalists
take advantage of laborers, and to
some extent this is doubtless true
But, on the other hand, aborers Of
ten get the best of capitalists, and
that, too, without knowing or in
tending il. Only about five in a
hundred men who, in one way or
another, may become possessed OF
capital, retain it through their lives
The rest lose it. Sone speculate
with it, aud passes froaA their hands
as the result of unsuccessful gamb-
ling. But the mass of those who
lose do SO by investing in enterpris-
es which fail to pay. Now, what 70

ing out his undertaking the returns
do not equal the expenses he lays
out more to keep the business going
until the returns shall increase they
do increase, but do not exceed the
expenses enough 10 make kving
profit and replace the former out

he expends more and more which
does not come back to him, till. at
last he stops spending, either because
he is alarmed at the prospect, or
because he has exhausted his capt.
tai, can not proceed, and be is poor
man.
Now, in either case, what has be-
come of his capitalY 1t has been
paid out for labor. While the bust
ness has gone on, he has employed,
of necessity, a number of persons to
do the work, whereof it consist, IL
he has needed material, he has had
to pay other workers for preparing
and transporting this material. II
he has boughta building he has paid
for the work of erecting it. If he
has hired one, he has paid for the
keeping ard repairing of it. If he
has used fuel, he has paid for the
mining and cutting oft, and for car
rying it to the place of use. In one
or another way nearly all of his ex.
penditures have been for labor.
Even the expenses of his household
have been for work in constructing
furnishing or conducting the estab-
lishment. He has given employ.
ment to servants and to workmen OF
many kinds.
At the close of his operations he

with he has parted, have been paid
for their work, while he has not been
paid for his work and has lost his
money. When the workman hears
demagogues declaiming about the
Tyranny Of capital" he should look
not only at the few successful capt.
alists, but at the many who have
failed; and when he remembers how
all these failures have wrought the
return of capital into the hands oil
the laborers, he will see that very
little of the great mass of wealth
| produced by labor is really consum-
ed by any one but laborers and their
antilles; that it simply passes
through the capitalists hands from
one set of laborers to another, and
that the successful capitalist does q
service to society by preserving a
part of it which would otherwise be
consumed.

Ii affords me pleasure to give you this

and had every appearance OF a large boil.
We poulticed it. but all to no purpose.
About five months after it became n run

then had two of them ON each hand, and
AS his blood became more and more i'm
pure il took less time for them to break
out. \ sore came on the chin, beneath
the under lip, which was very offensive.
His head was one solid scab discharging a
great deal. This was his condition at ~
