High living and broken health SIRE
among the evils eutalled by the pos
session OF fat purses. This was for
chilly brought to our mind few days
ago, by reference made to two gen
tlemen, who have become lnyallds and
are living retired lives, although their
united ages are little greater than
that OF Gladstones. the premier Of
England. The failure of their health
may be attributed to high living and
indolent habits This Is warning to
others, yet the tickling of the palate 10y
highly seasoned viands and stimulat-
ing wines has become such
habit that they cannot control
their desire Cor the temporary pleas
ure afforded. Notwithstanding their
consciousness Of the pains THAT will
certainly follow. Temperance In both
eating and drinking Is necessary 70
health, and those who Indulge their
appetites to excess cannot escape the
penalty. The wise man perce!veth the
evil and avoideth 1t, while the foolish
one presses on and Is + uni.hed by
pain and early death.

While q few dealers In Chrlstmas
goods may be doing fair business
and realizing gratifying profits, the
great majority complain of great
failing off in the number OF callers
and the diminutive character OF their
purchases. While the stocks OF the
dealers have been selected with care,
and are displayed to the best possible
advantage, many Of them are not
nearly equal in value to those provided
in m ore prosperous seasons. In some
cases they are quarter smaller, In
others a third. and In others one half.
All wish to merely meet the demand
and reduce their stock to the smallest
possible dimensions. The continued
depression in the manufacturing busl-
ness Is thus accounted for. There can
be no great degree of prosperity when
everybody Is contracting; and we
need not look for any great rush in
business, until they begin to increase
| their stocks. and add to their invest
nents. When there is all advance
along the whole line. then business
will boom and not before.
