IsN'r it rather singular spectacle
which the country presents to-day,
and one which shows the self confessed
impotency of the ruling classes to
govern, when we see large commnni-
ties convulsed by labor troubles, caus.
ing paralysis of business and industry,
and the solution left to haphazard.
Never was a country more governed
and yet, in the true sense of the word
less governed. We have national
government, State government, county
government, city and village govern

This is progressive age. The busi-
ness man who sits down and expects
business to come to him is sure to get
left. The time when the mere hanging
of sign, and standing behind a counter
constituted a merchant has passed. The
business man to-day who wishes to make
money must be active and pushing In
stead of waiting for people to come to
him he must go to them. He must in
vite them, he must compel them to come
to him. People like enterprise and
rightfully so. They don't wish to 60
where they are not desired. They care
not to buy of a merchant who has no in
ducements to offer them. The merchant
should take advantage of paper going
into many houses. He should 90 into
these houses with the paper. He should
tell Of the bargains he has to offer. If
you fail to see a man advertise, you can
set it down that he has nothing to adver-
tise, or else that he is too indolent to do
it, If he has no bargains to offer you
his neighbor has. Watch the columns
of the papers, and trade with live men.

OYSTERS IN LONDON.
Why They Are About Twice as Dear 4
They are In Paris.

~ skttDy ARC EeATISs.s
In a recent interesting article upon
oyster culture, the marquis Of Lorne
very cogently asked why oysters cost q
shlllings or shillings dozen I'm London
while they can be purchased for about
half the price IN Paris? The explana-
tion, as Lord Lorne pointed out. Is that
our English oyster beds produce only a.
fraction of the consumption, al
though our own shores, properly pre-
pared, could produce oysters III cnor-
nous quantities. Hitherto British en-
terprise has not been directed toward
this remuneratiye industry says ST..
James Budget, but has left il in the
hands of a few fishermen and ancient
corporations on the Essex and Kentish
coasts, who lack both capital and scien-
tific knowledge. How profitable oyster
breeding may become when well man
aged may be imagined from the fact that
the only outlay consists in preparing o
stretch of suitable foreshore with tiles,
bricks, shells, etc, to provide resting
place for the spat or baby
oyster. 1t is estimated that one
oyster produces from one to three
million young, SO ii only a very small
proportion be secured the labor expended
is most beautifully repaid. The average
wholesale price of native oysters this
year has been IL shillings per 100. TAX
ing the value of the product of one tile
at the lowest figure the result would be
9 shilllngs, and, the tiles being laid one
on the other in semblance OF an open
wall, 100000 tiles per acre is not an ex-
aggerated number. 1t would thus seem
that with capital and enterprise the ma
tional production of oysters would
largely increase, while the price would
naturally fall.

the leaves were growing yellow. Sallie
sat on the gallery where the sunlight
fell. Looking down the road she saw
Turkey coming. He slouched into the

Extra Liability to MalariaI injection.

Persons whose blood Ia thin, digestion weak
and Liver sluggish, are extra-liable to the at
tacks OF malarial disease. The most trifing
exposure may, under such conditions infect
a system which. il healthy, would resist the
miasmatic faint. The only way to secure I'M
munity from malaria In localities where it
is prevalent, Is to tone and regulate the system
by improving weakened digestion, enrich
ing the blood, and giving wholesome impetus
to hillary secretion. These results are accom-
plished by nothing so effectively as Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which long experience has
proved to be the most reliable safeguard against
fever and ague and kindred disorders, as well as
the best remedy for them. The Bitters are,
moreover, an excellent invigorant OF the organs
of urination, and an active depurent, eliminat-
ing from the blood those acid impurities which

Happiness,

Happiness is the great aim of all
mankind and for which all are forever
striving; and yet how few there are
who know when they have obtained it !
The healthy. care-free boy longs for
and pictures in his youthful mind the
happiness he will enjoy when he is for
ever free from parental control. When
the years have rolled past, and he
finds himself what he has so ardently
wished for, he pauses, and, upon TAX
ing retrospective view, he as ardently
longs for the joys, the happiness and.
alas too often for the innocence. of
childhood. oh! how many of us old,
care-worn, sin-scarred and tough
hearted specimens of the genus homo"
would give all we have toiled, schemed
and sinned for, since We arrived at
mans estate, to be again innocent
children, and allowed the inestimable
pleasure of good, all-night glorious
sleep, such as we used to enjoy when
we were boys. Oh, for the days long
gone, in recollection so vivid, in which
we watched the gap all day long, sit
ting in the corner of the old wooden
fence under the shade of the old elder
bush, while we manufactured wonders
of whistles from green paw paw bark,
and cut our fingers with the new Bar
low knife which papa bought for us on
the Saturday before.
We can shut our eyes now and see
the old barn, the pump at the road
side, with the horse trough near by ;
the wagon shed, granary and corn-crib
combined; the half-fnished wheat rick
and, beyond all these, the dwelling
with its log walls neatly painted and
whitewashed-the very personification
of that cleanliness which is next to
godliness. And last, but not least, the
old ash hopper, under which we used
to play "house" with our little sister,
before We got big enough to go to
school and "mind the gap" And the
closing of our eyes seems to have
opened our ears, for we can hear the
cackling of the hens, who seem to be
holding convention over some newly
laid eggs in the barn, and the steady
"thud-thud" OF the loom at the house
gives early promise of some new cop
peras-coIored pants. Now we hear the
chuck, +" "chuck" of the wagon coming,
for the fourth time, well laden from
the wheat field, and, as it nears the
gap, there breaks forth from the house
that which to boys is the sweetest of
all music" the dinner horn.
Could we have but realized how
happy we were then, We surely would
have been contented; but such realiza
ton could not be, and the only differ
ence which time has wrought i'm our
thoughts on the subject is, that then
we looked forward to find happiness,
whereas now we look backward, and
our happiest moments now are spent
in retrospective contemplation Of the
happiness which we enjoyed at time
when we did not realize it,
How it softens the heart to recall
those old days, and while know that,
in this world, happiness always seems
to be either ahead OF behind us, I do
hope that in the world to come we may
be allowed the happiness of again liy-
ing over our Loyhood days, and fully
realizing their pleasures at the time 80
