A RHYME FOR A RAINY DAY.

With pitter-patter, pitter-patter,.
On my window pane,
Tapped clipper little visitors,
The tiny drops Of rain;
they did not ask to enter.
But in liquid tones heard
This story which, as told to me,
tell you word for word:
"Within a cool, deep well we lived,
Quite happy, side by side,
Until an empty bucket came,
And asked US out 70 ride;
Then springing In, away we went,
Drawn up into the air,
And pretty china pitcher
Stood waiting for us there.
"Beneath that pitchers brim we thought
Much happiness to see;
But soon lump of ice popped in,
With whom we can't agree;
For though Ice claimed relationship
Before it married Frost,
With such hard, cold-hearted thing
All sympathy is lost.
"Ice tried to steal our heat away,
But AR was on our side,
2 And when it felt how cold we were,
1t just sat down and cried;
You might have seen the tears upon
The pitcher where they pressed,
Till Ice itself was forced to melt,
And mingle with the rest. a
"But next day have TO tell you
OF most amazing thing
Above blazing fire
We were made to sit and sing,
TIL Bubbles brought the message up,
That Heat would set US free;
When, boiling hard, we just steamed of,
And gained our liberty
ave bounded off with motion swift,
But met a colder wind,
Which blew so fast that every thing
Grew cloudy to our mind.
We cared not to go higher then,
We felt heavy chilli
And down we came quite suddenly
Upon your window-sill."
Now, little people, everywhere,
There is a saying old
That "Truth lies at the bottom
OF the well;'' and, we make bold
TO say: Within this bucketful
OF water you may find
Some grains of truth drawn up to store
Within each busy mind.

CREDIT EVERYWHERE,

Countries Where, When "Busted," You
VIII Still Be Trusted.
In Australia credit of six months is
generally allowed.
In France a four-months' acceptance
is required to be sent in settlement of
the invoice.
In Italy but little credit business is
done, and none without good security
being given.
In Cuba the time fixed for payment
is from four to five months after deliv-
cry of the goods
In the Bermundas accounts are
settled but oncea year. The 30th of
June is the day usually fixed for the
payments.
In England payment of the price of
goods delivered is required at the end
of three months, dating from the day
of shipment.
In Austria it is scarcely possible to
do business without allowing very
long credit, which is usually one of six
months.
In Spain four -fifths of the trans
actions are done on cash basis, while
in Portugal great liberality is shown
and quite long credit is generally al
lowed.
In Turkey even objects of prime
necessity are sold on credit, and in
this country, as well as in Russia, the
time allowed is in most cases twelve
months.
In Mexico the large commercial
houses willingly give credit of from six
to eight months, and in real estate
trade longer terms are given custom
ers in which to settle their accounts.
In Canada settlements are made at
the end of thirty days, with discount
of five per cent. Sometimes credit of
from three to six months is allowed,
but in this case there is no discount.
In China il is not customary to give
credit. Money is obtained from lend
ers, who exact an interest of from eight
to twelve per cent. Business is nearly
always conducted upon cash basis.

PORTLAND AND VICINITY.
A Word Concerning Or. Nichols Big

IL is wonderful the extensive practice Dr.
Nichols, Nc. 5 z Congress street. is enjoying.
Never was greater confidence reported in any one
member of the medical profession. Nor is it any
thing but what was earned, in most substantial
way. The Doctor is one of our most eminent ply
scians, and not excelled anywhere in this or any
other country in the treatment of chronic dis
eases. This and more has been demonstrated
here in Portland, where many hundred of pa
tients come 20 him each week all satisfied with
the relief and perfect cure they receive. The
Doctor is one of our most careful physicians, and
nothing is spared that would tend to the convent
enee and speedy relief of his patients.
Among the many tapeworm cases he has had
this week was Asa b. Danforth, who came all the
way from st. John, N. b. to be relieved of the
monster he had been afflicted with more than
seven years. DR.. Nichols succeeded in captur-
Ing the monster, head and all complete, In Just
one hour and forty minutes. Verify the Doctor is
doing grand, good work for the afflicted.

FINISHING SCHOOL LIFE.
Graduating Exercises of the Corham
Normal School Finished.

Friday morning was more spropitious than
that of the preceding day, and at an early
hour the main hall of the Normal School
building began to fill with friends of the
graduating class and with alumni. Among
the audience we noticed Mr.. G, NJ. Warren
of the Governors Council, and Principal
Nevens, of the Bridgton high school. in adj
dtion to the gentlemen who were among the
visitors on Thursday.
The first exercise was singing by the school
led by the teacher of music, Mr.. Charles X.
l1inkley. Next followed the Good Morning,
by Miss Kimball, which was smoothly writ
ten and well delivered. After another song
by the school, Miss Elder read the annals of
the class, which was full of comical hits,
well appreciated by her schoolmateS. Miss
Elder presented an array of startling statis-
tics concerning her class.
After another song, Principal Corthell
turned the class over to the tender meIcies
of State Superintendent n. A. Luce, for ex-
animation in the theory and practice of
teaching. The examination was thorough
and searching, and the class, as a whole, ac-
quilted themselves with credit Whoever is
exposed to the fire of Mr.. Luce's guns must
be either bomb-proof or riddled. Mr.. Wood
bury of Castne helped to make things lively
by an occasional cross-fire Considerable
discussion arose over the question, fought
pupils to be required to study out of school
hours?"
The seeress of the class was Miss Curtis,
who in her "Sybilline Leaves" tried to draw
aside the veil of the future and get a glimpse
of the beyond If the members of the class
fulfill the programme proposed by the seer
ess they will one and all have an eventful
career
With few well chosen words Mr. Luce
then presented the diplomas to the class. Mr..
Corthell followed with brief address of
parting He emphasized the point that the
strongest proof that any institution has the
right to exist is the successful career of its
graduates and its greatest hope of future
support is in their loyalty and devotion.
The last essay was that of Miss DAVIS who
read the Good Bye" well written, well read
and well received.
With the singing of the following class
song, written by Miss Shaplelgh, the gradu-
ating exercises of the second class of 1888
came to an end:
Each life enfolds thought of God,
Which growth some day reveals;
The germ deep hidden in each SOUL
bud of promise yields;
The perfect flower of our lives
Must open soon or late,
And incense YIELD o will 1t bless
The class of lightweight?
We draw from God the breath OF life
Enough for every need,
Then from our hearts abundant growth,
All other lives shall feed.
Our lives shall quicken other lives,
Our hands protect the weak
Our love appear in Deeds not words"
Our hearts loves service seek.
