We heartily rejoice with our friends
at Brownsville on the organization Of
a new company to operate the woolen
mills at that place. The spirit Of de-
termination with which they have
taken hold Of this matter, and the
pluck and energy Of the men who have
now taken hold will insure its success
in the future. Brownsville has won
an enyiahle position in the CONNER
clal world for her manufactured goods,
and II is but just and right that she
should hold her own. If Albany
wants to embark in similar enter
prise, Jet her start the move and run
on her own merits. We are proud of
Albany as a growing city, but we can
not rejoice at her success when it is at
the expense of Brownsville. Now
that both places are TO have their
mills, let there be generous rivalry;
there is plenty Of room for both. II
took Albany whole month TO raise
$4,000, and the papers and citizens
blowed about enough torun the factory
by wind, but Brownsville raised Sl7,-
600 in one hour, and no 'blowing your
own horn about it, Ne would mod
estly suggest now that hereafter Alba
ny call her mills by her own name
or christen it something else, and not
try to take both the prosperity and
name too from her sister town.

Farmers, take hold of this matter and
let us have the factory. There is mon

WORDS OF WISDOM.


The love of money is the root o. all
evil.
The man dihgent in his business shall
hold four kings.
It is better to have a permanent income
than to be fascinating.
If it is not right, do not do it; if it is
not true, do not say it.
Flattery is a sort of bad money to which
our vanity gives currency.
To have what We want is riches, but to
be able to do without is power.
He that winketh with his eye should
take heed lest he become slowed.
Short is the little which remains to
thee of life. Live as on mountain.
If there is to be any fibre in cur char
acter. there mast be a Spartan discipline
to make it.
Good manners, as we call them, are
neither more or less than good behavior,
consisting OF courtesy and kindness.
Wealth governs in the interest Of the
rich; intelligence takes advantage of the
ignorant; righteousness does justice toah.
Choose the course which you adopt
with deliberation; but when you have
adoptedit, then persevere in it with firm
ness.
He who does good deed is constantly
ennobled; he who does a mean act is by
the action itself contracted and self-de-
graded.
The man who sits down and waits to
be appreciated will find himself among
uncalied for baggage after the limited ex-
press train has gone by.

Docking Horses

People from other parts of the country
who visited New York a year or two aoo
were surprised to see that the fashion of
docking horses had been revived there
Half the carriage horses in the Central
I'afk had been deprived of The greater
fart of their tails. Instead of the lux
rriant and beautiful appendage which
nature gives, the animals exhibited 4
lorse-hair brush. short, abrupt, ugly and
useless.
This fashion has not proved to be a
mere passing fancy of "the British
dudes, but now appears to have become
fixed. and is spreading over the country;
and there is reason to fear that the entifg
class Of people who live but to differ from
the mass Of their fellow-citizens will not
be able to respect themselves this summer
while riding behind long tailed h6fses:
The spirit of fashion works in two WAYS:
1t makes some of us aspire to be both like
and unlike our fell5w-mortals. The VIC
TINS Of this mania wish to be obviously
lnlike the mass, and conspicuously like
class. Chinese parents torture their
girls for five years, converting their pretty
feet into hideous little Jumps of bone and
flesh, because those Jumps are recognized
as the Sign of social rank.
For similar reason the rich shop-keep-
ers Of Gotham cut off their horses tails.
They have been told that the fashionable
people Of Europe think it a mark of high
breeding to be Indifferent to fine suffer-
ings Of the creatures that serve them.
Several writers lately have taken the
ground that horses do not much mind
losing their tails, not even in fy-time if
they are protected by MEETINGS.
It seems folly to reply 10 such state
ment. Any enc who closely observes the
ways of horses becomes aware that the
swishing of their long tails is a tranquil
izing and pleasant occupation TO them,
aside from its utility in driving away in
sects. 1t relieves their minds and miti-
gates the monotony of their existence.
The OPERATION Of decking is cruel beyond
conception.
We should all wish to frown upon this
cruelty to helpless brutes. How shall we
do it ? There is, perhaps, no better way
than to act upon the wise and timely sug-
gestion that all who are opposed to it
shall not merely not disfgure their own
horses, but shall refuse to hire docked
horses, or even to ride in an omnibus. cab
OF car drawn by them.-To YOUTHS Coupan-
in,

The kissing Habit.

A writer in Good Housekeeping vigor
euslv condemns the kissing habit, and
calls for its abandonment in this wise :;
1.-THE kissing habit has been carried to
its greatest extreme among Engish-speak-
ing people, and the people of other blood
are often amazed and amused by the
universally and cheapness of the kiss
among the English nations. 1t Is not
necessarily an argument in its favor,
however, that it is thus found to be an
accompaniment of the highest ciyiliza-
ton, for it may be promptly retorted that
vice and crime also increase with ciyiliza-
ton. and that even civilized and refined
peoples often keep alive barbarous prac-
tees inherited from savage ancestry
The kiss, in its proper functions, has a
fine significance, and may be made the
vehicle of the purest emotions, the honest
expression of legitimate feeling, greet
ing fun of genuine, voluntary sympathy
and love. The kissing habit is an abuse
and misuse. It has brought the kiss
into disgrace and made it vulgar, cheap
and hvpocritical. Be it the province
of this generation of refinement and
education to rescue It from its degraded
estate and restore it toits natural elevated
aud elevating place and use in the social
economy

One Of the very commonest things which
God does is that of answering prayer There

it is ordinarily. and it attracts our special
