A Boston Way OF Earning Money.

A new way of earning money has has
been adopted by the women in Roston.
1t is to organize classes in literature
and history which are TO meet and listen
to readings. The reader receives men,
bers into the circle at stated price for
each person These are not lectures,
you will observe. There may be now
and then thread of comment, but not
much of it is heard. The instructor Sc
lects a topic. and then reads extracts re-
latipg to it, and calculating it from
sources which she finds in authorship.
There is labor in this, and when the
work is well done the result is some
what equivalent to q lecture. Large
classes are gathered in this way, and
there are more than one of them The
members read by themselves at inter
walls between the readings by the in
structor. Ladies known in society adopt
this methoi of adding to their incomes.

Borrowers or Lenders.


In borrowing or lending men may
often change their positions according
to the ups and downs Of life. The bor-
rover of to-day may be the lender OF
tomorrow. The lender of to-day be-
comes a borrower bye and bye. by
this change of position the pleasure
and pain of borrowing and lending are
distributed pretty equally among men
1t is pleasant to borrow, painful to
lend. In the first place, something IL
attained for moth NJ, which is the
highest aim of man in life. The lendeA
in the second place, puts forth without
any return, and this is pa nful. 10
pay back the borrower always finds
against the grain, while the lender ID
overjoyed to be repaid. Thus the great
law OF compensation shows itself even
in this matter.
The genuine borrower, a great one OF
the great race, never pays back, and
indeed, his superiority to the lender rs
so manifest that payment is not expect
ed of him. The public rook with adj
miration upon these borrowers VIII lie
there is but little sympathy for the
lender who "goes broke" He is "a
chump." or peradventure, a sucker
The borrower would appear to BIO tho
broader man, the more trustful in hui
man nature, while the mere fact that .
man can lend means he has been sch
fish, He is regarded as the borrowers
legitimate prey as punishment for
his criminal cumulativeness. The
borrower has the sublime eifron-
terry of superiority. He swoops
upon the lender for his tribute
as the feudal barons came down upon
the peasantry for theirs. Very little
sympathy is wasted by the public upon
the man who has been conlidenced
lie has given mwlllingIy his lawful
tribute TO his supGr,o THE borrower.
The borrower represents, rs Lamb
said, one-half the communlstic idea
the idea of whats yours is mine"
He. as II general thing, represents
What mine is my own, though, rs
II necessity, he must not hoard his
loans, else will he sink to the level of
lender. Every man with his money
has his affinity, who must borrow from
him. The man who meyer lends is an
anomaly in nature. The borrower is
as a general thing n pronigate-a jol-
~, good-natured fellow. The reverse
of this is true, bot the logic which says
man is borrower because proih-
gate is false. The brany ones of the
earth have been borrowers; witness
that old literary coterie in Grub street,
that were always oscillating between
Flush" and "broke." Goldsmith was
either in state OF seige by cred tors
or decked out in garments Of various
hues. Savage was either sitting
them up all around" or else lying abed
with his head through hole in
blanket, his clothes being Gin hook. ="
Even Shakespeare was borrower,
and Bacon. when not borrowing, was
being brbed. And Micawber, rare
Wilkins. how the world loves him rs
the borrower par excellence! Any
man can earn money b. working for
it, but to borrow requires genius of
the higher order. The borrowers
preserve the nation, for they keep the
money in circulation. Louis Globe

Improvements in the many charm
ing townsites, lately laid out in the
vicinity of Los Angeles, ARE simply as
founding, especially SO is it the case
with those located on the line of the
great "Santa Fe" route between this
city and San Bernardino.
In the new town of Marquette, near
the world-famous vineyard of Cuca-
monga, a fine hotel has been built,
furnished and occupied, a first-class
livery stable is stocked and operated,
q store building near the depot
erected, and now a fine church and
school house are to be put up at once.
Nearly one hundred lots have been
sold to actual settlers, and before
summer sets in many residences
will be erected. The owners of this
beautiful townsite have decided to erect
eighteen fine cottages and to give
them away to actual settlers. Eigh-
teen of the finest blocks have been
sold to that indefatigable boomer,
Frank McCoye, who will place them
on the market very soon at the nomi-
nal price Of 500 each, payable $50
down and $40 per month. On each of
the eighteen blocks handsome cot.
tage will be built and the holder OF
the lucky ticket, drawing a house, will
find beautiful home ready for him
for 800.
The water supply is enormous and
is already piped in front of every lot.
This willbear the strictest investigation

The phenomenal growth Of this city
has been the subject of conversation
among the people of the entire United
~'ates today. 1t stands peer with
oat a rival on this continent-the
largest city of it's age on earth. 1t has
had higher compliments, both from
the tongues of distinguished travellers
and popular newspapers, than any
city on this coast. Itrepresents more
wealth and prosperity, and has more
of which to be proud. in the way Of
natural advantages, than any city in
California. The advent of the Rapid
Transit Railroad gives Monrovia the
foremost position as a suburban city
in Southern California, with the Santa
F& now built, the Southern Pacific Sc.
curing right of way, and the Rapid
Transit,
Monrovia's own railroad, with a
schedule bespoken of 80 minutes to
the center of the city, depot to be
built at the Pico House for a ter
minus, who does say what Monrovia
will be in two years hence? On
Friday, February "a, 1888,
A grand special excursion will
leave Santa Fe depot, Los An
geles, at 8 A. NJ. for Monrcvia,
and a special credit auction sale
will be held on that day, and the
well-known Pacific View tract will
be sold to the highest bidder,
without reserve, in large villa resi-
dence lots, at whatever price the public
deem it worth, as we prefer them to
set their own price, and our terms will
be to suit, buyers will have an option
of cash, ID three months, ID six
months, ID twelve months; or 4
cash, six months, one year; or
1 cash, a one year at 10 per cent.
This is the most desirable property
ever offered at public auction, without
reserve, in Southern California and the
owners are willing to sell this to par
ties who are likely to improve it and
in this manner greatly benefit them,
as they own large body of land ad-
joining, which will as consequence
materially increase in value. Never
has any investments in Southern
California proven 30 satisfactory as
have those made in Monrovia during
1887 and 1888.
The Pacific View tract adjoins the
city of Monrovia on the east, and is a
portion Of the Broadbury property, so
well known to Californians. 1t is
