 Communicated
 During the past year, at meeting il interest of the library, a person suggested that each one present, and as many others as could be interested in the scheme should, within year, earn dollar which should be given to be used for the library or memorial building which Stafford il looking forward to. Several pledged them selves to do this, and are to meet at Wood lawn some time in 1891 to relate their sev eral experiences in earning the dollar.
 Any person interested in the genera good of mankind, in their townspeople, ol even in themselves, ought to be interested in this work. First, because a building like the one proposed will be "thing O beauty and joy forever" to all who may pass by; secondly, because nothing more benificent can be done for community than to give it access to and taste fol good books; thirdly, when we get dowr to personal interest the veriest dullarG ought to see the benefit at the outset Just earn your dollar, come over to thi meeting, and learn "how to get money. This problem, which has distracted th' ablest minds, will doubtless be made plail as A B c by the hundreds of practical ex periences which will be related.
 Fl. l.. Hastings says he can remembe how he valued the first book which he eve owned, ''for he went without butter for month to get it" and if little self denia gets worked into the books which we ar to own their value will be none the less We know of little girl who was so mucl interested in this object that she went ou wiping dishes to get her money. Thi ought to be an object of special interest t children and young people. There ough to be good large ''children's corner, an' they ought to take pride in helping to pa, for it themselves. We've seen peopl whom for every ten cents they earned tn world became about dollar poorer. Don go to work like the little girl who wante' to help "keep house," and called her faith CT from the cellar to open g door, he brother from out doors to pump some wa ter, her mother from upstairs to lead he from pump to stove, her sister from he music lesson to take the cover from tn tea-kettle while she put in water.
 The ssopen sesame" to this meeting vii be that you have a dollar honestly earne' to give toward the library, and that yo1 can tell how it was done. Begin this yer, day, and be ready when the meeting called. Everybody expects to have goo time when they go to Woodlawn to lear how to gather in the shekels, and it vii be quite a respectable company. for pel
