 The third annual meeting of the Con- necticut Bee-Keepers' Association was held at Hartford, May 3. Miss Ellen l.. Johnson read a paper on .sThe golden rod as honey plant.' There are 94 varie- ties of golden rod, all but two of which are indigenous to New England. Two are found only in Europe. It is one of the best towering plants from whioh bees gather honey. In the discussion which followed, 1t was agreed that man and the bee moth were the worst enemies of bees in New England; that stimulating feed ing in spring was desirable, and that hive packing should be removed by the mid lle of May. The most salabIe size o1 section for surplus honey is 4 II by 4 1-a by 7-S inches. The officers elected were as follows President, George H. Yale, Wallingford vice presidents, E. Turner

THE FIRM BANK.

Supposed to have been written by the Rev rowland IIill, at n time when public creditslr treat Britain was shaken by the failure O everal banks
 l have never-failing bank,
 A more than golden store; No earthly bank is halt so rich; How can then be poor? Iris when my stock is spent and gone, And I.without a groat, Pm glad to hasten to my bank, And beg little note. Sometimes my Banker smiling says, Why don't you Ottener come! And when you draw a little note, Why not larger sum' Why live so niggardly and poor? Your bank contains plenty; Why come and take one pound note When you might have twenty? Yea, twenty thousand ten times told Is but a tritiing sum, To what your Father has laid up, Secure in Christ His Son. Since then my Banker is so rich, have no cause to borrow; I'll live upon my cash today, And draw again to tomorrow. Eve been thousand times before, And&never was rejected; Sometimes my Banker gives me more Than asked for or expected. Sometimes I've felt little proud. I've managed things so clever; But hh, before, the day is gone I've felt as poor as ever. Sometimes with bushes in my tace, Just at the door stand; l know if Moses keep me back, i surely must be damned. Should all the banks in Britain break, The bank or England smash, Bring in your notes to ZiOn's bank, You'll surely have your cash. And if you have but one small note, Fear not to bring it in Come boldly to the bank of Grace; The Banker is within. All forged notes will be refused,
 Manmerits are rejected; There's not a single note will pass That God las not accepted. 'Tis only those beloved by God,
 Redeemed by precious blood, That ever had note to bring
 Those are the gifts Of God: Though thousand ransomed souls may sa They have no notes at all, Because they teel the plague of sin So ruined by the fall. This Bank is full ot precious notes, All signed and sealed and free, Though many dOubting souls may say, There is not one for me. Base unbelief will lead the child
 To say what is not true; l tell the soul who feels selt lost,
 These notes belong to you. The leper had little note
 "Lord, If thou wilt, you can." The Banker cashed this little note, And healed the sickly man. We read of one young man indeed;
 Whose riches did abound; But in the Bankers book of grace
 This man was never found- But see the wretched dying thief
 Hang by the Bankers side; He cried, "Dear Lord, remember me-" He got his cash-and died. III From The American Messenger, Decen Der 1857.

IMPROVED METHODS.


 There are improved methods of doing | business as much ahead of the old ways. | as the huge locomotive whirls the rail- road train at the rate of mile minute | is in advance of the smaller and less powerful engines of the early days. To. day every possible saving in expense 1 is looked after, large amount of goods are handled. Clothing is made by ex- pert makers, each doing their special part of the work so that in the manufac- ture of a coat 21 different workmen have a certain division of the labor. In this way fine results can be attained and a large amount of work accomplished. Their business must be done for cash. Cash buying and cash selling. Mer- chants who have to depend upon credit in these days cannot compete successful ly with the dealer who has the money to pay spot cash for his goods, and who has no bad debts (because he trusts no one,) to make his good customers settle for. Somebody has to settle for the bad accounts where credit is given. Prices have to be higher in this case than where the business is conducted upon a strictly cash basis. Davis & Savard, Clothiers, Matters and Furnishers, 424 Main street, Bridgeport, believe in these advanced methods and do business strictly upon cash basis. Their store is filled with the choicest the market affords in clothing, hats. caps and fur nishings, They believe that bargain to be good one must be good for the buyer as well as the seller, that the best interest of their customer is their best interest. They know that if large amounts of goods can be sold they can be sold cheaply. They propose to sell first class goods so reasonable in price that their sale will be large. They are feeling the effects of this policy and hav- ing fine trade steadily increasing in amount. When in Bridgeport give the new firm a call
