Deacon S. V. White, Wall street op-
orator, lately assembled pulpit in
Brooklyn and preached business ser
mon to young men. He gave them what
he said was the business mans golden
rule. As he worded it, it was in three
sections, as follows: cash 10 checks,
lend no money and do no favors for 9TH
ers with money not your OWL" If he
had advised them to be mighty particu-
lar how they cash checks and lend mon
ey even when it is their own, he would
have given advice which was still bet
ter. The deacon said the ideal position
for a business man who had been over
taken by d crash would be that in which
he could say to all whom he owed,
"All mine is gone, but here is thine. -

Blaming the Government.

The delusion the popular mind labors
under that government is in some way
responsible for its disasters is most AT
tistically illustrated in the financial
panic at present ravaging Newfound-
land For generations the merchants
there have been supplying the fishermen
what they need OH credit Fishing is
the industry on which the island de-
ponds for its life The fish have been
gradually becoming scarcer, SO that the
industry does not pay SO we'll as it used
to do This being the case, numbers of
the fishermen have deserted the schoon-
CTS and taken employment on the rail
ways that have been lately constructed.
This makes the catch of fish smaller
still Nevertheless merchants have con-
tinued, just as before, to fit out the fish
ing schooners with all their supplies
for the season, provisions, fishing tao
kle, bait and clothing on credit, trust
them. In bad seasons the catch did not
nearly do this. Then the merchants had
to borrow money from the banks to tide
them over. Fer many years this went
on, but the bottom fell out at last, rs it
always must do where business is done
on the principle of borrowing money
and going in debt. The merchants fail
ed all in q bunch, and then the banks
that had loaned them money failed, too,
and chaos reigns III Newfoundland.
Now the inhabitants are bowling that
it is all the fault of the government

SATURDAY. AUGUST "a, 1895.

The Irish representatives in the Brit
ish parliament have themselves to thank
for the overthrow of the Liberal govern
ment and the accession to power Of the
Conservatives and the Salisbury cabinet.
Only for the fatal split into Parnellites
and McCarthyites, and the antagonism
that could not be stified in matters even
the most vital, the Liberal government
would now be in power and home rule
in Ireland, if not already actually ac-
complished, would be very near. 1t will
not do to blame Rosebery's incapacity,
lack of person magnetism, ETC., to cry
aloud, Oh, for one hour of Gladstonei
If the home rule party in Ireland is SO
fractions and inharmonious that it re-
quires a one man power to hold it to-
gether, then Ireland is not yet ready for
freedom. II the men who took their
lives in their hands and started the
American Revolution had split into two
opposing factions, this country would
still be a colony of Great Britain.

Tall and Low Plants.

Tall growing plants are not suita-
BILE for beds neal the paths, especial
ly when those beds are close to the
house. The tall growers should be
given a place somewhat in the back
ground, where they can be seen at,
a little distance and will not obstruct
the view. Low growing plants close
to the path or under the windows
can be looked down upon with most
satisfactory results. For such beds
there arc few flowers superior to the
verbena, and by pegging the branches
down during the earlier stage of the
plants growth the entire surface of
the ground can soon be covered. The
scarlet varieties are as brilliant as
the geranium. If the seed pods are
cut off as soon as seen this plant
will continue to bloom during the
<sltire season

It was in one of the oozy villages
of bonny Scotland, where gossip is
the chief barter and church the chief
duty of every mon" and all the
'weemin.' For once gossip and
church we're travelling the same way,
for Dougold McSorlie, the minister,
had suddenly grown unpopular and
the members of his congregation
We're steadily diminishing.
No one knew better than he that
something must be done, SO he con-
cluded to do a little house to house
missionary work and thus arouse
more interest in church affairs.
But his enthusiasm was short
lived. The first man he acoosted
was Tonald Campbell, a sturdy old
Scot of well known free thinking
tendencies.
"Tonald," began the minister,
"for why we're ye no at the kirk
last Sawbath?"
II was at Mr. McShouter's kirk,
meeniSter.
This was hardly the reply that
was expected, but the minister con-
tinued with added gravity: "Idinna
like ye rinnin ABBOTT tae strange
kinks i this way. I'm pairfeckly
sure ye yersel' widna like yer ain
sheep strayin ava inta strange pas
lures"
Tonald cast a sidelong glance at
his critic. II widna care a grain,
meenister, gin it wis better gress."

Ranged on the charge of adultery on a

SOUTH PORTLAND.

The Memorial exercises were very in
teresting. The veterans in barges pro-
ceeded to Browns Hill cemetery in the
morning, where the graves were decorat-
ed and prayers offered. Then they went
to the cemetery at Cape Elizabeth and
decorated the graves in that enclosure,
after whichEthey drove to Mt. Pleasant,
where they arrived at ten O'Clock. Here
the exercises of the day were held. After
decorating the graves the Rev. Mr.. Wood
invoked the divine blessing and Merri-
mans band played a dirge. The people
and veterans then went into the church
where Edwin E. Heckbert, Esq. de-
liyered very impressive and interesting
oration, after which the band played an
other selection and the people were dis
missed with a benediction. In the after
noon a number went to Evergreen ceme-
terry to assist in the exercises there. The
graves looked very fine in all the ceme-
teries, especially in Mt. Pleasant. The
Samaritan society furnished the wreaths
for the graves of the soldiers which were
very pretty.

Stacking tho Hay Crop.

Farmers who lack barn space are COM
PEELED to stack Or rick a portion of their
hay crop. An Ohio Farmer correspond
ent, who prefers stacking to ricking,
says: As rule, stacks are only about
half as large as ricks and consequently
can be built in aboll half the time.
This is quite an impt@,ant point, espe-
cially if the weather is inclined to be
catchy" A stack with a ten foot bot
tom, and requiring only two or three
loads of hay for its construction, can be
put up in half a day by two men, and
when tho force is strong enough to run
two wagons, in much less time.
The farmer quoted thinks that hay
saves better in stack then in a rick in
awet season, because the stalks or stems,
especially Of the extreme top Of the
stack, all slope downward like the stalks
Of a cap sheaf of wheat. But this can
not be said of the stalks or stems of hay
in a rick.
