"Sweet are the Uses of Adyerslty.

These words put by Shakespeare in the
mouth of the exiled Duke in "As You Like
II" are suggestive of what may be the result
of the present hard times.
With great many people-the majority
in fact-the cost of thing is the measure of
its value and of the enjoyment to be derived
from it.
If the existing depression in farming and
the consequent check in the circulation of
money shall make US learn the lesson our an
cestors 30 thoroughly learned-how to make
little go great way-the hard times will
not be without compensation. We have all
of US been too much disposed to admire and
covet expensive things and to despise all
pleasures that do not draw heavily on the
purse. We have grown too luxurious and
too indolent-for one is apt to lead to the
other. Now the actual necessity is laid upon
us to do without much that is entirely unne-
cessary but which we fancy to be essential
because we have become accustomed to it..
Let US endeavor to return to the simplicity
of earlier days and we will find out how
cheaply satisfaction may be bought by those
who are willing to find it in little things.
DR.. Franklin said that pride and Incidence
taxed mans resources more heavily than
the government, and it is true now, although
the taxes are so much heavier than in wise
old Benjamin's day. FIVE shall learn that
the true life is from within and not from
without that in the resources of our own
hearts and minds, in the daily blessings be-
slowed upon US and the moderate pleasures
within our means there may be abundant sat-
isfaction and peace, then the "hard times"
so much complained of will only be ministers
of benediction to all such as are thus taught.
MIR. Mckinley has promised to call up
his tariff bill in the House very soon. Many
Republicans as well as Democrats are very
much dissatisfied with it. The carpet men
of Philadelphia, the sugar men of the North
and South, the cigar manufacturers of all
sections and the tin-plate interests, 10 say
nothing Of scores of others, refuse to be ap-
peased. Unless all chance for amendments
shall be cut off, it seems clear that the bill
will he very much CHANGED
